Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


12 Jun 2013 15:22:11
With this reconstruction and one league body who will be in charge and will it still be influenced by Celtic and Lawwell, and yes he is involved, the TV deal for one, when will details of this be disclosed, why was he in London to see Sky! good times or bad times ahead for us bears? PB

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Its a pity that rangers don't have someone like Mr Lawwell looking after your clubs interests with integrity. JK

Agree0 Disagree0

Really? After everything you come out and say Celtic run everything, yet a former rangers board member run the game, secret 5 way deal with no details, letting the rangers do there own investigation with out questioning them taking them on there word, green, whyte, slap on wrist and what else? Wake up already your former club brought this on themselves and seem to be doing it all over again yet don't have to answer questions.

Agree0 Disagree0

What will it be called sellick premier league / sellick football assoc. / sellick football league, down to paddy power and place your bets doug t. s. o

Agree0 Disagree0

Pb what planet r u on on your first point lawwell was asked along with aberdeen chief 2 go down 2 london and help get sky deal if it was not for i'm scottish football would have no tv deal. if u had someone like him running your team u would not be in such a mess but hey we should run scottish football the rangers way buy lots of stuff and not pay for it. my advice 2 u pb is grow up take the blue specs off

Agree0 Disagree0

@4 and what planet are you on, why exactly was he asked along for who's benefit? certainly not Scottish football and why are Rangers TV rights stuck onto the SPL deal when according to the Celtic supporters who post on here we are a new club in a different league and of no significance, yet to keep the SPL deal you still need our club. So please take off your own green coloured specs (I'm assuming) and see who is actually pulling the fraying strings of Scottish football. PB

Agree0 Disagree0

So is aberdeen running scottish football aswell or is it just celtic. instead of this witch hunt on celtic if u had someone that run your club aswell as celtic have u would not be talking about this. u blame the whole of scottish football because of the mess your club got into tell me does ogilvie not work at the sfa or is he a celtic man 2 get a grip stop this blame game it was all rangers fault no one else

Agree0 Disagree0

@5: notice you avoided the issue that if someone like Lawwell in charge of your club, all might still be well.

You're too keen on blaming everything and anyone attached to Celtic for the ills of the game in Scotland. Blinkered and paranoid are apt adjectives to describe fans like you.

Agree0 Disagree0

Rumour down the pub tonight that Lawwell assassinated JFK and organised the Twin Towers job. He is also believed to have paid off jockeys in three of the last five Greyhound Derbies.
Hes everywhere.

Agree0 Disagree0

No 8 did he ever star in a film with jean claude van damme and chuck norris? doug t. s. o

Agree0 Disagree0

@8 paid off Jockeys in Greyhound derbies? Wasn't aware that Greyhounds had jockeys.

Guys this is from a 100% reliable source from within ibrox. Walter took a huge payment to take on the role of Chairman and as timmy thought. it was a ploy to sell STs. however there is a major story about to break regarding all the shenanigans in the background and Both Walter and Ally are incriminated in these revelations. they will be seen to all as mercenarys. and rightly so from what I've heard. we are rapidly losing money. check the AIM. its not rocket science the shares price have more than halved in just over 6 months. analysts are predicting only the season book sales are keeeping us afloat for now and we will be liquidated by November!!!!!!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

My answer apart from the fact this is pure P**H is that NOBODY in any position you have described would be building a team the way we have over the last month it would be pointless. I could believe WS and Ally maybe partly in it for money but not to the extent of destroying RFC. dream on timmy or paranoid person whichever you are. george

Agree0 Disagree0

A reliable source who's told his mate! According to all these reliable sources we have been going into administration and liquidation every month since last summer. So no named poster thanks fir your efforts. Another non starter for me PB

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah ok mate that's a good 1 keep trying lol

Agree0 Disagree0

@ o. p
Got a feeling someone
telling porkies to stop us
buying season tickets
DREAM ON!
WE'LL SUPPORT U EVERMORE
billy h

Agree0 Disagree0

What evidence have you to substantiate this?

Agree0 Disagree0

You should see a doctor mate your well off the mark

Agree0 Disagree0

Really!!!!!!

Agree0 Disagree0

A wee question. How can you know when a compnay 5 months in advance is going to be put into liquidation. Ahm not having a go its a serious question. Could you explain it please.

Agree0 Disagree0

Aye and the sky is falling

Agree0 Disagree0

Your source isn't imram ahmed by any chance, absolute fantasy.

Agree0 Disagree0

@6 so where are the audited accounts if all rosey? shares in freefall and no statement to stem the flow.

meanwhile tapes now show wally got£1.7 mill for 3 years, just under £6 mill, while ally gets £3/4 of a mill, they rolling in it. and could buyout any other club in sfl with that stash

do they fund gers recovery. not a penny.

Agree0 Disagree0

40,000 SB @ £250 (average) = £10, OOO, OO0 less VAT @ £8, OOO, OOO
24 Players £5000 X 52weeks = £6, 240. 000
Ally, McDowell & Durant £2, 100,000 per year
The above figures show a loss of £340,000
We do not know how much sponsorship we have.
I would think no more than £2,000,000 which would leave us £1, 660,000 to pay for the other running costs which would include reserve & youth players, directors fees, admin & general non player employees, Murray park & Ibrox & match day expenses including police costs. If we are to believe that we lost £1,000,000 a month last season & this is repeated again this season then in my opinion administration/liquidation in November is feasible.
I should stress that my figures are an estimate but not far of the true figures. Discuss

Agree0 Disagree0

@8) you can look at income and monthly outgoings and calculate the bust month.

Agree0 Disagree0

You forgot one important aspect of income my son, how much merchandise do you think wee flog? Between Scotland and Ireland alone, my guess is well over 100,000 shirts/kits, then all your official merch, with rangers being one of the biggest footballing institutions in the world, it's safe to say that we'll never die or go away, in all fairness the troops up the stairs aren't going to make the same mistakes as the last pair of clowns. We'll be back in the top tier in jig time, and that's what scares them.

Agree0 Disagree0

@13. Insolvency leads to administration you cannot predict liquidation.

Agree0 Disagree0

Smith or McCoist could put all these rumours to bed by telling us what is going on, their continued silence has been ringing alarm bells for some time.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wow we better add November to the list of previous "this wednesday, this thursday we will be liquidated!" So your reliable source only told you about this eh?! Jog on son!

And seriously is ST's and sponsorship the only source of our income? What about strip sales, retail sales, match day packages, Ibrox tour sales?

Agree0 Disagree0

Much as I hate to say this number (12) you are most likley to be very close to how much we are spending per month/year at moment.
Only thing you may have missed would be the bonus amounts everyone was paid out for winning the League? if that is in everyones contract similiar to last then we have a huge amount of money to find to pay it all. So to your figures add the bonus figures for last year add them to this years figures and? can only think our share issue money has a massive dent in it.
Walter time to be truthfull with us before end June, how much is there in the pot and how much do we need to find to make costs add up? surely you are man enough do do that? remember everyone we still don't have any bank offering us any loans etc.

Agree0 Disagree0

Fellow bears, the figures above are probably on the money TBH, however what this nutcase has skimmed over or missed totally is, TV money £2million, Hospitality £7. 16million (official in company accounts 2010-2011 season, Food&Bevereage @ kiosks 40000 people spend £5 @ 24 homes games =£4.8million, new strip sales both home and away strips 40000 @ £40 = £1.6million.
the above figures are only based on 40000 supporters but we all know there is probably 140000 peiople buying strips, we all know we spend more than a £5 at kiosks for food and drinks, so dream on Selllik lover our finances good WATP! {Ed001's Note - you have forgotten to factor in just the profit on all those things though mate. The hospitality will cost probably two thirds to run, so call it £2.5m profit. Food and beverage roughly the same profit margin, so maybe as much as £2m. The shirts will not benefit the club, other than the initial amount paid to produce the kits, unless sold through an official club source, which, if I remember correctly is now split with Sports Direct, is it not? So the merchant's cut, that Rangers would normally be able to command for selling through their online and offline stores, will be split with them, unless I have misunderstood the deal.}

Doubt Walter needed a bg payment to join the board. The man was on £1, 700,000 pa in his last stint as boss.

Agree0 Disagree0

Aim costs 0.5 mill / year
rangers shop at airport 0.5 mill
win bonus £2.5 mill
legal fees £1 mill
hidden payments to directors pals.

sponsors could be nothing up front,.

Agree0 Disagree0

What about this Kieran bloke who has said he is buying into the club, perhaps he will help?

Agree0 Disagree0

@14: merchandise won't make as much as you think - certainly not enough to make up the shortfalls suggested above.

Agree0 Disagree0

#22. This is quite interesting as if this guy is wanting to buy a much higher stake in Rangers then they're going to have to give him a good swatch at the books.

If after that he is still willing to invest significant amounts of money then that would be a very good sign for the club.

The guy's certainly smart enugh according to the Record. I didn't even know IQs went higher than 200.

Agree0 Disagree0

If everything is great at ibrox where is the accounts, who owns the deeds and where is your 10 million pound war chest. Answers on a postcard please.

Agree0 Disagree0

No this is net profit for hospitality "mate"! (in offical accounts), you go to TGI and buy "jack daniels chicken, you get a breast and some mash potato, £13. 95, costs for ingredients £1. 50, cost to produce £1. 50 tops, that's 465% profit, you do the math on your (sellik calculator)!.
cost to product garments in far east £3max, shipping £1 (as shipped 40ft container) duty 2. 7%, VAT is claimed back with HMRC on sale £39. 99, sports direct deal is profit share between both parties. {Ed001's Note - and electricity and gas to cook, plus staff wages is free is it? Clearly a fantasist with no real idea of running a business or what costs it entails. I have no idea what a sellik calculator is, but you are so wrong and so far up your own bigoted arse it is pathetic. Go away with your tiresome crap about Celtic whenever anything is posted that disagrees with your nonsense. Nothing you have said regarding the garments has any basis in reality. You don't understand what a kit deal involves. Rangers get an upfront payment, not a cut of sales unless the item is sold through official club stores. There was a deal done once between Reebok and Liverpool, wherein the club got a tiny percentage of all kit sales, but Rangers haven't done the same deal.}

Agree0 Disagree0

@14 you are a Belter!

Agree0 Disagree0

That'll be you marked as a Celtic fan by some now Ed001.

1903 {Ed001's Note - I am used to people being so stupid as to assume that everyone who disagrees with them must support their rivals, rather than it just being that they were wrong! Mind, on the Everton or Man Utd pages they might have a point.....}

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi Ed ever heard of Primark----huge profits, slave wages and aye no gas or Electric paid lol.
And Aye there might be a point to the financial arguments but only the board knows!

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed learn to read! I factored in £1. 50 to produce!.
80%of profit for kit sold through Rangers stores are retained by the club hence why we Rangers fans are encouraged to purchase throught official Rangers outlets.
As for the being bigoted, i'm not the Sellik fan on a Ranger fans forum using smoke and mirrors to make nonsensical points based on an agenda. {Ed001's Note - I can read, but you have no business sense or intelligence whatsoever. You are too lacking in requisite reading skills to realise I am a Liverpool fan and have no interest in Celtic at all, other than to take the mick out of Ed007 when they lose! Clearly you are the bigot, who is so bigoted that they believe anyone who doesn't live in their fantasy world must be a Celtic fan. One day you will grow up and realise that most of the rest of the world really couldn't give a monkey's about the Old Firm, either side. Certainly no one has any kind of 'agenda' about you, you just don't matter enough outside of Scotland, either of you, to bother with an agenda, other than keeping your bigotry out of the English game.}

Agree0 Disagree0

@30 Ed feckin brilliant mate! Well said! These people live in such large glass houses its unbelievable!
Cheers Ed, you have made my day!

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed001: he obviously didn't/couldn't read my last post @28 either lol

And where's he geting the 80% profit thing from? I'm pretty sure Ashley would never have done a deal like that.

1903 {Ed001's Note - I am pretty sure he doesn't understand that staff need paying, the shops needs fittings and fixtures, transport costs, lighting, heating etc etc all have to come out of that 80% he was talking about. Even if you don't factor in Sports Direct's cut.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed let's clarify a couple of points regarding playing in europe again for those that are slow on the uptake
1, no European deadline was missed this season, we never qualified so no need to apply for a licence, that's like saying dundee missed the deadline, clear?
2, When we qualify for Europe again we will apply for a licence, clear?
3, article 47 states that ONE year accounts must be submitted and comparative figures for the previous year must be included, clear?
4 we must have Been a member of the sfa for three consecutive seasons, therefore 12/13, 13/14, 14/15, clear?
5, as per 4 we can play in Europe in august of 2015 (if we qualify), clear?
6, uefa can grant an exception to all of the above at their discretion, clear?

If anybody has another take on it please quote the article concerned from the uefa guidelines, not just what some guy down the pub says,
Can we put this to bed now?

Chapter 2: Licence Applicant and Licence
Article 12 - Definition of licence applicant
1
A licence applicant may only be a football club, i. e. a legal entity fully responsible
for a football team participating in national and international competitions which
either:
a) is a registered member of a UEFA member association and/or its affiliated
league (hereinafter: registered member); or
b) has a contractual relationship with a registered member (hereinafter: football
company).
2
The membership and the contractual relationship (if any) must have lasted - at
the start of the licence season - for at least three consecutive years. Any
alteration to the club's legal form or company structure (including, for example,
changing its headquarters, name or club colours, or transferring stakeholdings
between different clubs) during this period in order to facilitate its qualification on
sporting merit and/or its receipt of a licence to the detriment of the integrity of a
competition is deemed as an interruption of membership or contractual
relationship (if any) within the meaning of this provision. CLEAR. shammy

Believable0 Unbelievable0

CLEAR. Shammy.

Agree0 Disagree0

"we never qualified so no need to apply for a licence"

Need licence to enter european competition and top league of your association.

Real question is - if you win Cup next year with european qualification - will you be allowed to play in the competition the year after.

it seems NO is the answer, unless chairman of SFA is a bear, or had £90k kickbakck/EBT?

Zed

Agree0 Disagree0

If anybody has another take on it please quote the article concerned from the uefa guidelines, not just what some guy down the pub says,
Can we put this to bed now?

jg. waiting for you, I found it, shammy

Agree0 Disagree0

So OP what are saying? please explain in plain English what the Chapter means and how this relates to RFC currently and also is this an exert or the full section? cheers I would like to see what your interpretation of this section is, cheers

Agree0 Disagree0

Facts are

if oldco then rangers will face banishment from euro competitions for unpaid bills (unfair advantage gained) next time they qualify. how long who knows as one of worst failures in european fitba

if newco then on qualification for europe will next 3 years audited accounts and no unpaid debts outstanding. tough ask for new club. when rumours may be insolvent already. (wuo was it paid yet, if not they can close rfc anytime they want. until they paid or settlement reached).

if all goes well and rfc survive 5 years till back in europe comps. so spend cup/league money wisely as cl riches unlikey in short to medium term.

Agree0 Disagree0

Spammy well done you have confirmed what I said in point 4, and?

See tbh I would love to see bocanegra staying with us and goian and cribari leaving us, bring in zaliukas and berra as they would be much better (not like its hard) than cribari and goian they are like oap's! I have seen milk turn quicker aswell as paint dry faster than them.

The GS

Believable0 Unbelievable0

The thing is mate Zaluikas Bocanegra and Berra would be about 30k a week wages if not more between them that's £1.6 million a year give or take our whole team should be within 2 or £3 million a year for Division 2 even at that it's extravagant we really need to live within our means I hope fellow bears can realise that and stop demanding Transfers for Players that are not even very good.

Larky Bear

Agree0 Disagree0

@1 exactly, do people forget what happens to our club when we over spend?

Agree0 Disagree0

QOS total budget for last Season £300,000
Rangers budget for Elbows £780,000
It's not about the money - more to do about manager & £2, 100,000 for Ally & his backroom staff is a big drain on the financial resources

Agree0 Disagree0

Disagree with Op and agree with #1, #2 & #3. This spending on freebies is eating away at your long term resources through their wages. Why can't Ally get by for 6-12 months, win the 2nd and then look at players when he can buy, as well as get freevies. It's almost as if he's lining up an excuse for doing badly (I could only sign freebies {sob}). Your squad is well good enough to win the 2nd in a canter.

For a club who's bee through the financial mire the way you have, I can't believe the fans are encouraging frivolous spending. Watch out for that lightning bolt, again.

Agree0 Disagree0

N4 have you never heard saying lightning never strikes twice

Agree0 Disagree0

@5 try living in the NT in oz and you will see lightning striking twice all the time!

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Jun 2013 09:05:58
Rangers only need another 3 signings in my opinion ie. 2 centre halfs, a right back, the 3 I hope we sign are marius zaliukas, Craig Cathcart & David wotherspoon, what do you think?In my opinion we have enough midfielders & strikers to walk the 2nd division

Believable0 Unbelievable0

We need 4 2 Centre backs right back and fast right mid field

The Tennents deal must still be current
