Umbungo1874 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Seriously though, should the SFA not have insisted that the Phoenix arising from the flames provided them with some form of P&L projection and proof of funds before transferring their licence, to attempt to ensure the same shitstorm didn't land again? Their prospectus would have given the AIM market the all the assurancess the SFA would have required however keeping them to it is the problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taxi for Ben Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 The trolls will have another meltdown soon enough. To add to the several thousand that each and every one of them have already had since the administration then liquidation of Rangers FC (R.I.P.). TRIFC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh fuxace. The fucking Phoenix comes up from The Ashes, not the flames.

hellbhoy Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Maybe some fans don't seem to realise the true cost of running a football club like Rangers and keep in mind the club had to be started from scratch. A good wee blog this, maybe could have more detail - http://www.ibroxnoise.co.uk/2013/08/a-support-dividing-itself.html A breakdown of the 22m used from the IPO onwards Where's the rest of the money spent to win the old third division ?,it wasn't just the IPO that kept the club running and some costs are missing and I can a few that are not quite accurate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burma Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Chuckie Cheese was very clear in his IPO sales pitch (which was pure comedy gold by the way) that the money raised (£22 million my a**e) was NOT going to be used as working capital. On a related note BDO say that the death of rangers is of little consequence to the top flight http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-23673421 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shull Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 On a serious note !,shouldn't the SPFL & the SFA call the Ibrox board into question over all the crap surrounding the club on it's finances and can it fulfil it's fixtures for the season ahead ?. Wouldn't the SFA telling the club it cannot allow them to register their free agents on 1st September as they obviously can't afford them to help the club stop it's reckless spending spree ?. Why aren't the associations getting involved at this point in time when the shit has clearly hit the huge fan at Ibrox ?. Are they going to allow that club to financially implode before they step in when it's too late ?. Naw, naw, dunno and f*cking hope so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Can any of you bears think of one genuinely intelligent and good reason why any supporters of any other football clubs in Scotland should feel in any way sympathetic towards the predicament that The RIFC supporters find themselves in today? They are Ra Peepil ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Maybe some fans don't seem to realise the true cost of running a football club like Rangers Even if the figures are accurate, which is doubtful, that ten million plus spent on wages is just, just ludicrous at that level. The other clubs would take years to spend that between them. If these figures are quoted as some kind of justification, then I think we can all see the problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) Thought I'd pop in since it's getting so funny again. I'm glad you took the time to respond Oh, watch him Kildog. It's all "How you keeping?", "How's the family?". You get drawn in and before you know it, it's 1688 this, Williamite Revolution that. He's a crafty bugger. If you've been used to the bludgeoning approach of Bendarroch, it can wrong foot you a bit.

We (as in, everyone except TRIFC fans) have been able to see the problem for a long while now tbh. Admin 2 beckons, followed swiftly by the setting up of a "Loyal Bears Membership Scheme" to drive more funds into their "journey back....."

CityDave Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Would not be surprised if there was already a debt and take it they can't even go to a bank to get a loan. #wongaaddiction What about these expensive team bonding holidays such as this time last year the team after the cup match with Brechin were up in Inverness to play golf, staying in one of the most expensive hotels The Kingsmills. To everyone's embarrassment I heard the hotel wouldn't accept payment for the stay by card and the club had to pay by cash or GTF. Does this kind of thing still happen, Rangers are some outfit?. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
