Did someone suggest merging both national teams? Fuck me.

Been covered in another thread,but DU will profit, whether you watch at tannadice or on sky.

I'm sure we finished 3rd and 4th a few times. Cant see the modern Rangers tolerating that for long.

Would just be a nice, consistent gesture to give the fivers to charity. No biggie.

Which leaves 20/30% for "others". Dividends maybe.....

Lol, do you remember the eighties? You really want that scenario back?

If we want to maintain the moral high ground over this, we shouldn't be making any money from this game. Just my opinion of course.

Tainted with opinions. Shocking forum behaviour eh.

Ah well, have fun on their 10 in a row day. They will be almost half way there by the time green has sailed off into the sunset.

Well, I'm pissed off at the hypocrisy of this whole situation. Showing it on sky at Ibrox to make money isn't a very good boycott, is it? We should cancel our sky subscription, not encourage people to watch it.

Are the fivers and any proceeds from the bar going to charity? Technically, they should be.

The million dollar question, is where is the other 67% going? Painting Ibrox every 5 years?

Yip, they didn't. By their rational, none of us would have a credit card or mortgage. The world revolves around debt, especially football.

You're right about their capacity giving them an edge, but you're also forgetting our commitment to only spending 33% of turnover on players. No matter how much money we make, that will still be a lot less spent than them. Maybe we should just accept living in their shadow for a generation, while green and co all become very rich men off our backs. That is what's happening. Like I said before, it will take a few years of being second best to them before people ask what the fuck is going on. Traditionally, our support doesn't stand up to not winning the league at least as often as them. Greens business plan is fatally flawed, and most of us think just because he is honest about it, it's ok. It's not ok, and the shit will hit the fan in about 2 years time, when we realise where he has led us. Of course, he wont give a fuck, because he'll be in Barbados with his 2m pension.

Actual debt didn't really cause all our previous problems. It was a combination of factors. Many clubs operate quite successfully, with debt way more than what we had. As long as it's manageable, having "debt" is almost vital for success in football, sadly. If celtic spend 40m on players, wages etc, and we spend 20m. 9/10, they will win the league. Simple fact of life.

I dunno. Maybe I fancy watching us win the league, or having a decent run in europe one day. Stupid, I know.

Can't argue too much with that, but his hands were still tied to an extent with regards to transfer fees. We knew we had money in the post, re the sharee issue.

He's still moaning about the embargo, when he did next to fuck all when it got lifted.

Go back and read the pre-season statements from green. We are going for the cups etc. Our transfer dealings, with our projected income, was a disgrace.

All clubs have "debt". What makes us so special? Are we going to be the first winning football team with no debt?

Can't argue with that, but it's none the less an interesting wee video about ashley.

Lol, 35k+ season book holders for div 3, 20 new investors, no debt, and you were afraid that we couldn't afford it anymore? All this extra fundraising is for the benefit of the shareholders, not the team. We proved that in the last transfer window. We moaned to have the ban lifted, then signed one player for under a million. Then got pumped by Caley and QotS. Green is a genius to not have fans kicking his door in. We've been conned. Our team is unacceptable for the money we have ploughed in. It's no good having millions in the bank, if we keep getting pumped.

I'd rather it wasn't done at all, no matter what they are pretending to pay us. Some things make us what we are. The stadiums name is one of them. I dont see what difference a new stadium makes? The rights are worth what theyre worth due to exposure to media etc.

Aye I know. I usually put "fake geordie prick". In my haste, I forgot. Sorry. The Joey barton interview about Ashley is an interesting watch, about when he got jailed, and ashley tried to shaft him.

Arsenal getting 15m per year? http://www.american-appraisal.co.uk/UK/Home-Page-Features/Feature-1.htm
