One of the most expensive markets. They get most of their players from elsewhere nowadays. We need to do likewise. Remember we are hamstrung by FFP and are repeatedly told by the board that we have little to no disposable income. Our latest accounts showed we spent circa £12M on NEH and that all the income from Patterson / Aribo and Bassey has gone. We have no players who'll attract decent fees however Kent, Greegsn Alfie et al leaving will free up a hefty slice of wages. Critical/crucial period for the board as its a case of can't afford to spend big as well as can't afford NOT to spend big.

I was going to say serial losers but knew someone would have said it before me. Massive change needed. I dread Sunday 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or we can bring in loanees… Put simply, we don’t score enough goals( for the amount of possession we have) and concede too many we need to do something 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to start from the back. We need a keeper and a centre half. Once you stop conceding goals, you only need to score 1 to win a game. Currently we need to score 3 or 4 to win games. MB and his staff have worked at clubs like Chelsea and Arsenal and hopefully they have contacts. I understand Ross Wilson getting criticism but I can't be the only one worried about the rumours he won't be replaced and MB will oversee recruitment. Just stinks of more penny pinching from the board (or we are more financially hamstrung than we imagine). Cutting back on the medical department and our horrendous injury list (and lack of general fitness) can't be coincidence. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I think Rangers got lotsa problems. Chief of which is being consistently (often successfully) sued by everyone in the apparel industry who we enter contract with. Elite wanted £9.5m compensation over an alleged breach of contract after Rangers signed a deal with Castore. Multi-million claim against Rangers over kit sales to go ahead - BBC News 11 minutes ago, CammyF said: Cutting back on the medical department and our horrendous injury list (and lack of general fitness) can't be coincidence. Or contract attorneys, apparently. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding NEH - way over budget and opened whilst not been completed. Has there been any communication as to when the museum will open and what concerts are booked in the near, medium and longterm? The more you hear / see regarding NEH you can't help think it was a vanity project that has spectacularly backfired.

MacK1950 2,376 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Thought we were progressing diligiently with finances then come Elite bombshell(probably fat man induced). We are going through hell at moment,so personally I hope that Seperate Entity get skelped in peaedo cases to bring down their advantage. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 15,292 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I'm glad I missed today's match. Might give the semi a swerve too. Rangers, a significant exception (55) noted, are just a constant source of disappointment and have been for over a decade. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
