The club, the board and the future

Our accounts are audited numbers.

Over decades we rack up losses year on year.  

That needs to END

 

Continually falling back on...'just one more hit'...and it'll be ok has to finish.

 

 

 

So you don't know the answer to my question. Just say so, none of us does. 

 

The chat when the new contract was offered a d signed was that the sum to sack him was 6 months wages. How accurate that is is open to debate. 

 

You have once again conveniently ignored the cost of not sacking him, why not address that? 

 

I'm hearing we sent back almost 1000 tickets for the game on Thursday, in my reckoning, that's unheard of.

 

The manager, therefore the club, are losing fans - without fans, there is no Rangers.

How much to sack clement?

 

I think he’s contracted for another 3 years. I’d guess he’s on around £2m p.a.
So( fag packet sketch calculations ) 3  x £2m = £6m

 

then there’s his back room staff

 

Id suggest that’s money we don’t have at the moment

You know that for certain? Or are you speculating?

Exactly. When I heard "review into all aspects of our operation", it screamed to me merging departments/roles and subsequent job cuts.

That said ... if we are talking about the board and the club as such, I wonder how much more people are currently employed than in the days of Sir Walter. While you acknowledge that football has changed, the number of people now running about looks to be somewhat inflated. Not least when we could sack a manager for not delivering, but then he's what, 5 to 10 people in his team who will also have to be taken care with? And who might have to be replaced too. I would hope that they all got clauses in their contracts that save us from payments when they fail in their duties ...

 

More generally, people call for change, and rightly so after another half-season of stagnating "progress". There has to be some sort of improvement soonish, as we laboured ever since our return. What you would like to seen sooner rather than later is a change of attitude towards the SFA/SPFL, as we have been ravaged for the best part of the decade by heinous refereeing, compliance officer decisions, and now über- and non-active VARing. The club has to make a stand, and preferably hand in hand with outer clubs.

 

It very much looks like we now have to bear another season (at least) shadow-walking behind the Scum, and the talk about our financial standing is surely correct. Yet, we've shown that we can hold our own against them on the field during the last few seasons, so any debate on "getting financially back on track" sounds a bit hollow, as our problems more or less lie on the field of play. I would assume that CEOs generally not interfere with football decisions, but I would expect that the manager gets an appointment with the CEO every other week after another dismal showing against the lesser lights of the league. Tactics, player motivation, expectations should be on the agenda there, and if it doesn't change after a couple of appointments, sterner measures need to be implemented. The experiment-phases need to stop.

All this will do is to provide comedy material for Timmy to use in the Banter Decades videos.

 

Rangers wouldn't last a season if we became fan (groups) owned. Generally and collectively speaking, they are worth a case study to find out why it is so bad.

 

 

 

 

 

I think 13 titles out of the last 14 and being 15 points ahead of us despite us just demolitioning them 3-0 is all the comedy value they need. 

 

Long live the protestors.

One thing that needs someone to turn it round is the club shop the gear on sale is rather stale the current kits and not a lot much of anything else apart from retro kits and Christmas cracker junk missing out on a nice little earner in this if they knew how to run it .

It should be football people doing the review, not a company.

 

However. I thought the whole point of appointing someone like Patrick Stewart was to have someone with the skills and experience themselves who can identify areas of improvement and implement changes and course correct as appropriate.

 

How much is this external review costing?  Hopefully its not a deloitte / KPMG etc

The reason we have won so little is that when Celtic were in the financial grubber, they built foundations (eg. 60K stadium) and went the right way about becoming sustainable. They had the right people in charge to bring it to fruition.

 

That is what we need to do now or we will live, mostly in their shadow.

 

I believe very much in the right to protest and saw Sir Duped, Whyte and Green for what they were (the latter two prior to them arriving at Ibrox). However, I don't agree with the UB in this particular case.

 

We need to give Patrick Stewart a chance.

 

I'm sceptical as to what the club will achieve in the short to medium term. I think there will be more relatively barron seasons to come.
