HibsFan Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 And we're finally up to date, although in the time it's taken to compile this I wouldn't be surprised to check the news and read that they've appointed the Pope as their new manager. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle_do_nicely Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Up to the OP whether he includes this under 2012/13 or not seeing as Admin seems to be the starting point (there's plenty of material before that, admittedly, so using that as a cut-off seems fair rather than bringing up Malmo, Kaunas etc.): Prince Albert of Monaco. garryoconnorblowingouthisarse.jpg.gif.jpg.watp 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Excellent work @HibsFan I liked the Faure insight that told us of the biscuit tin and archaic training methods and nutrition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I don't have a link but recall that they spent a ridiculous sum of money converting Ibrox into a giant wifi hotspot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ended up in a legal dispute with the company that fitted it, who wanted another £300k due to late payment, so it potentially cost them nearly £1m 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle_do_nicely Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) @HibsFan : loving the thread, so I thought to give it a bit more flavour and to give us an idea of the financial losses incurred to achieve the banter, I've decided to have a quick wee look at the Companies House accounts. I'll try to post them in a similar format to the OP, should you wish to incorporate them: 08th March 2014: Accounts posted to Companies House, Rangers* haemorrhaging money (as per the 13 month period ended 30 June 2013 below) 13th February 2015: Accounts posted to Companies House, Rangers* haemorrhaging money 18th March 2016: Accounts posted to Companies House, Rangers* still haemorrhaging money 21st December 2016: Accounts posted to Companies House, Rangers* still haemorrhaging money Edited December 8, 2017 by Thistle_do_nicely 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
