Just done a bet that might interest fellow bears with bet 365 barca and barca under 19s to do the double over their Celtic counter parts today, the under 19s game is at Morton's park which is the best playing surface outside the old firm's, barca boys will love playing on it, the double pays around even money, it looks easy money.

I'm leaning towards Celtic (quite unlikely) or Draw (double chance) at 2/1

I think they could sneak a draw tonight. I'm positive both teams will score.

The best playing surface outside of the OF!

Firstly Ibrox ain't the great a surface and secondly Cappielow is a very wet surface.

@2 Cappielow won awards the past 2 seasons for its playing surface.

Just what I think, accounts are out.

lost £14m last year personally I expected a loss as no new company runs a profit year 1.
Start up costs, players wages, staff wages, bonuses and general running of club and training ground.

Good news I think anyway,

Accounts only up to June so this years season tickets not included. minimum £10m
Management taking wage reduction
No 100percent bonus for directors. Saving about £1m
No buying edmiston house and albion car park. Saving £2.5m
No pay off for players eg Sandaza, saving about £1m
No pay off for directors, saving £500k
No paying old footballing debts, saving about £3m.
No new sponsor boards and big screens, saving around £500k

Savings around £7/8m on last year.

With money in bank as of June around £10m plus St money £10m plus hospitality merchandise sponsorships of around £2/3m

We WILL have a positive balance next year.

Again only my thoughts

Allys 825,000 for a 3rd division manager is shocking, no wonder he hasn't walked away, I wish I could find something I'm garbage at and get paid that much.

@4 What about the 9 players that signed in sept? That's probably £3/4m

Rangers financial year loss of 14.4 million & junes figures were inclusive of 4.7 million season ticket sales. now. Are u James traynor or Brian Stockbridge?

I was waiting on the first positive spin on the accounts and my there are errors galore.

As 7) says the figures do include part of this season's ST money. The asset purchases were not included in operating costs, they absorbed part of the IPO cash so won't be a reduction regards next season. Simlarly "cash used in operations" in the cash flow part will include Sandaza, Bocanegra, Goian etc (and again came out of the IPO. ) Guess what? So did the footballing debts.

So in essence Heid £6.5m of your suggested savings were not operating costs and therefore not things that can reduce that figure for next season and this year's initial season ticket payments were included. If these are good figures then you're Warren Buffet, but we already know that isn't the case.

PS Warren Buffet wasn't Phoebe's brother just in case you are even more clueless than I suspect.

@4 at the fan meeting in August Stockbridge confirmed there was £10m in the bank which included this years season ticket money, so that's a lot of cash burned July and August from season ticket money alone.
