I do believe if rangers apoint de boer I think money would be made available I'm no saying how much, we need to take some risk at some point when it comes to money if no we can say goodbye to the spl for the rest of our days never mind celtic getting ten in a row if king doesn't want to invest real money in the club the club he also loves he should sell up and let someone else that is wanting to take us forward do we really want to play second fiddle to celtic ever season that's if we, re lucky Aberdeen and hearts and Co are a lot close than they've ever been, warburton weir were a cheap option that didn't work results speak from there self REAL INVESTMENT IS NEEDED just my thought's warp.

Aarono 76. You said if King doesn't want to invest, in reality he can't invest as he is skint. As for selling up as you put it, he has been trying to do that for a while now. King has to find money to keep our club afloat until the end of the season which is no easy task as who in their right mind would invest in Rangers when we do not even have a Monad. We also don't have a credit line to the bank. My worry is we could go into administration again.

Before king came in there was no investment he came in and steadied the ship he might not be spending like crazy but we r where we are because we brought in duds warbs daughters outcasts no wonder he held back the cash I do agree it's now time to take a risk and bring in the right man if that means spending money then 45.000 season ticket money will be available if it's a big name the Rangers fans proved we will be there money needs to be there to buy at least 10 players with quality

Humey, the season ticket money is needed to keep the lights on for half the season each year, then we rely on loans from the directors. Ignoring these facts which are publicly and freely available in our published accounts just leads to utter drivel fantasies like your post. When is the penny going to drop with people like you, we can't rely on fantasy sugar daddies, we need to get serious about running our club as a sensible business and forget about catching celtic for the forseeable future. Do you actually care about them enough to put the existence of our own club in jeopardy all over again? Why can't we just face the reality of our situation and stop demanding that some big rich man must appear like magic soon and come and save us!?

Gor, the word you are thinking of is Nomad.

Get behind the club instead of inventing doomsday scenarios. DK made it perfectly clear where we stand with his statement last weekend. I hear that Berwick Rangers are happy to accept turncoat supporters of any other club. Just a thought?

Yes BR65, nomad is correct, stupid predictive text.

So he is a turncoat for not being oblivious to the dire financial situation we are in? Come on. If more fans had been like Gor we wouldn't be in this mess.

Pauline blue: I agree, no rush to catch Celtic to jeopardise our club, but Robertson said money will be available to the new manager.

Joscro, yes but why is Robertson saying that? Because we can actually afford to do that? or because of the implied threat, from so called fans like Humey, that if big money isn't being spent then season ticket sales will drop. You can see Robertson's dilemma, but it's a Catch22 situation that the leaders of our club need to braver to extricate themselves from. They need to be strong enough to break the cycle. They should be up front with the fans, tell them 'look, this is how it really is', and appeal to our famous sense of loyalty. Not pander to the sugar daddy mentality and lack of patience that will only lead to ruin.

Am not saying that a big investment is due or there's millions to spend but would love it to happen. Dave king has done a lot to keep the lights on but there's money out there and we need to get the right people in.

it won't take £100 million to catch the other side it might just take the right manager and some good football players. I'm just thinking positive not saying it will happen over night but it's not as far away as some fans think.

br brought in 3 players and turned that lot into to a solid team they were rubbish under Ronny Deila. our players need confidence and the right man to build us up.

there's no quick fix but I won't accept they're going to run over us for years. as a season ticket holder I think I have the right to share my opinion. I might be wrong but I still believe in us as a team from where we have come from.

I would hardly say king is skint, he can probably can still afford a descent curry and a few beers on a Friday night.

do people really think the season ticket money comes in and that it is in the bank ready to spend on players? - it's not.

the money isn't even enough to run the club for a full season. we run at a loss and will do till we get rid of Ashley or at least that would help out.

kit deal is a joke until we have a share issue and raise some capital. there is no easy way out here, it will take time and forget about Celtic they are over the hill and far away we just have to accept that for now. I know that is hard to take but we are where we are. let's hope for three points today and 442, we need to score goals.

So the consensus seems to be: 1. there may be some investment out there that we could attract, but it probably won't be that much, and we're not going back to having any real spending power any time soon. 2. The Ashley situation restricts our revenue, but even when that gets sorted out (5 years down the line) the extra revenue will help us a bit but won't restore us in and of itself to any real spending power. 3. We can't of course afford a big name manager just now and any talk of that is just wishful thinking. 4. We may, however, get very lucky and get the right (low key) manager with the right man management skills and right support from the board to make a decent fist of challenging for top spot, as money isn't everything in football.
Sanity prevails. Let's all move on to another thread before someone starts talking about Frank de Boer again.
