  1. As sad as his story is, he was never really a favourite of the fans or indeed a great player. Also ended his time at the club with a bit of a saga iirc. Saying that, we will probably still go seeing that it's for a good cause and some nice players should be on show.
  2. Very nice, has the makings of a very decent evening.
  3. The only blessing here is most of our duds are out of contract in the summer. No one in their right mind would keep any of them.
  4. Shite like Faure, Zaliukas, Peralta, Shiels, Mohsni, Hutton, Daly, Black, McCulloch, Foster and Smith etc should all be out the door and it would have kept those poor staff in jobs for life, saved us millions per year and allowed Ally to sign a couple of players too.
  5. http://www.sportingintelligence.com/2012/10/08/exclusive-manchester-united-and-real-madrid-top-global-shirt-sale-charts-081001/ A “big” club like Ajax in a “small” league like the Dutch league might expect to sell 100,000 shirts and probably fewer in most seasons. Celtic (a Nike club) are believed to be the biggest sellers among Scotland’s clubs, with “good year” sales at the lower end of the top 10, ie: several hundred thousand per year, many of them overseas in North America, Canada and Australia. https://www.footy-boots.com/europes-top-selling-club-football-shirts-28163/ - Celtic can look forward to sales that max out at several hundred thousand – leaving them just outside the top ten. The strong connection to Irish history and success in the SPL often gives them strong sales in the US, Canada and Australia. file:///C:/Users/Lee/Downloads/AnnualReport_2013.pdf £76m in a year with Champions League football. We had to get to a Uefa Final just to top £60m. Have to agree though with you regards SD, i doubt they have the desire to even try and compete with Celtic.
  6. That's from figures a few years back so they may well be selling more these days. They average £5m clear profit every year from merchandising. Under Ashley we will average next to nothing so that's another handicap. Then there is their European revenue, bigger stadium and higher crowds, better hospitality etc etc. We need a board who are able to maximise all our revenue steams to benefit the club enabling us to compete with Celtic realistically.
  7. Celtic sell a quarter of a million every year, they turnover £60m on a bad year, how are we supposed to realistically compete with that kind of animal?
  8. I was told by a cat 2 referee last week that a draft has already been written to make sure Rangers and Hearts/Hibs go up next season no matter what happens. I believe our game will be restructured again should we fail to go up by ourselves.
  9. He has kindly lowered his demands to £400k apparently, the gentleman that he is so he may well be gone. £400k out of our current funds may jeopardise the wage cycle for December though so not sure his players/soon to be ex-players will be thanking him. Not sure whether to be excited about who may be in charge for Livi or terrified of what might be! I see the Telegraph are running with a story hours after the SFA disciplinary story that Ashley may own both us and Newcastle within the next week or so. Aiming for a 29.9% shareholding at Rangers allegedly.
  10. Law and Miller should also be dropped in place of Murdoch and Boyd imo. Kind of agree with the rest though i would like to see Sinnamon at right back. Guys like Simonsen, Mohsni, McCulloch, Foster, Black and Daly shouldn't play for us again. they are finished here.
  11. Very good point, there may be something in that.
  12. I honestly don't Frankie. If there were offers you could bet your bottom dollar we would have known about them. Scottish football would have been looked down on by bigger clubs and the fact we were absolutely horse shit on the big stage would have went against him too.
  13. Of course Ally didn't know that would happen, eh? What a man!
  14. We were the biggest football club with the biggest attendances and the highest turnover in Britain until Sky bought English football. Even at that, there were still numerous bigger clubs around the world and many richer too. It wasn't my dad who said it mate, it was his pal. I remember him as a class act and Rangers hero and i am happy with those memories.
  15. Or if there was indeed any offers with big bucks!
  16. Wallace and MacLeod have both made it clear they want to stay here yet we know there have been bids and interest in them. Alan Hutton confessed his love of Rangers and said he was going nowhere, didn't stop Spurs offering £9m for him. Whether he wanted to stay or not played no part in whether a team would bid for him or not. I remember him being brilliant but i don't remember even one offer being made for him.
