Of course they were in a poor negotiating position - they had just allowed Rangers to be voted out the SPL meaning no OF games. The TV companies aren't daft. No OF games means an almighty drop in viewers. A while back the president of La Liga was asked what would happen if either Real or Barca got relegated and he said it was inconceivable because it could destroy all the commercial deals signed for La Liga. Maybe the SPL (now the SPFL) should have thought likewise. They cannot even get a sponsor as it stands
-
I don't think anyone other than Doncaster & Liewell knew anything about what was involved in the tv deal they signed. Wonder if there are any other hidden gems in this tv deal?
-
Perhaps we're now beginning to see why Doncaster & Liewell were reluctant to let anyone see the details of this SKY deal they signed. Don't forget Longmuir, when he was at the SFL, supposedly never got to see it.
-
the deal is apparently worth £15m p.a. - one EPL game is worth more than that !!!!! The Australian 'A' League gets double what the SPFL signed up to ............or should that be what Doncaster & Liewell signed up to
-
Try reading the article written by the LAWMAN on RM and you'll get a better idea of where the money went. No it wasn't all spent well & he concedes that but the suggestion it was all wasted is nonsense. Running a club the size of Rangers in the lower leagues was never going to be a money-maker unless you were to pay everyone £200 p.w. as some would suggest -
No we don't know the board's plans. I've critiscised them for this if you've read my posts. They're doing nothing more than treading water in the boardroom as far as I'm concerned but I'm not convinced King & Co are a credible alternative until someone like King becomes aserious player in all of this & starts buying a shareholding & stops using the excuse that he won't line shareholders' pockets
-
One wonders if the SPFL can meet its financial obligations if it's getting this sort of bill from TV companies. It can't even get a sponsor either. When Doncaster & Liewell signed that derisory SKY deal at the start of last season to try & prove they didn't need Rangers they sold Scottish football down the river. Clubs in the top division are literally living hand to mouth on annual club wage bills of between £1m to £1.5m p.a. which is peanuts. Now there's this..........
-
It's dead easy to say 'I'm backing Dave King' but no one knows what Dave King's plans are, if any.
-
Complete waste of time
-
Very much doubt that somehow
-
Remember too at the start of the season it was said the SPFL would be getting a £6m windfall for the play off games.Now we discover they're getting hee haw for the Hamilton vs HIVS games. Am i the only one who thinks the SPFL may have difficulty meeting its financial obligations?
-
I'll be DK's biggest fan if/when he invests. Not holding my breath though.............. Meanwhile I just wish his merry band of deluded followers would give it a rest trying to destroy Rangers. I want Rangers back in the top flight and into Europe ASAP. No one in our support should be attempting to prevent that if they're true Rangers supporters. We can have these discussions who owns Rangers and who should or shouldn't be on the board at a later date
-
It'll be the worst thing that could happen to us if we got put back to the bottom tier again. Does anyone want that?
-
Does he want to own the club? Has he ever stated that?
-
I'd be absolutely delighted to be proved wrong if DK does invest. Meanwhile the wait goes on....................
-
no one. It's the usual unsubstantiated claims
-
if our supporters decide not to support the club what option do they have ? the choice is ours. All of this reeks of the Murrays & DK trying to hijack the club without investing a penny.
-
What's even more worrying is we have so-called Rangers supporters who think Admin2 would be a good thing. We'd almost certainly be put back in the lowest division. The SPFL have stated administrations will be on a case by case basis from now on. We need to get back to the top flight ASAP and into Europe again.
-
FWIW I'm not exactly the board's biggest fan either. I've yet to hear their longterm plans and how they intend to take the club back to where it belongs. But I'm realistic enough to realise there is no alternative to what we've got at present. I don't think DK represents an alternative as I've said in earlier posts. In a way I think we're in a not too dissimilar position that the Man Utd supporter are with the Glazers. They're not exactly loved by the Man Utd supporters but they wouldn't destroy the club to get rid off them
-
And King isn't all soundbites ? He has been up until now anyway. No investment whatsoever. Just like McColl
-
Your blind faith in this man is unbelievable
-
This is the trouble IMO. Too many supporters have this blind faith in a man who has shown no willingness to invest so far. Just soundbites
-
I'll start taking DK seriously when he gets some sort of shareholding. Quite frankly I'm sick fed up hearing his excuse about not putting money into existing shareholders pockets. How else do you expect to take over or control a company? He also says he want to invest in any new shares issue but surely knows these shares would need to be offered to existing shareholders first meaning he may not invest at all........unless he gets a shareholding now
-
AFAIK the SPFL will from now consider Admins on a case by case basis . We would be in a dreadful position but if that's what you want...........
-
if you believe everything DK says then good for you. I don't.
