    Missed last few, sorry guys. Just back online after some time away.

    Actually don't have a problem with that. Says more about them than us tbh. The price of being the biggest and best in the land i am afraid.

    His contract was up in the summer and as far as i am aware, i haven't seen any news of an extension. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alan-smith/profil/spieler/148910 They still have him as a Rangers player but his contract has expired. http://www.semplc.com/content/alan-smith High hopes for the lad who would possibly have been involved with future Republic squads had his career gone as expected.

    My cousin is his brother Sean's friend, Liam has been demanding showdown talks with Ally but the manager has been ignoring him apparently. They are a big Celtic supporting family as well, he may well end up there.

    Craig Gordon looks strong, fit and healthy, maybe we could offer him something? In all seriousness, a great chance for Simonsen. Though a goalkeeper should never be the difference between us and the opposition at this level. Shouldn't matter who is behind the sticks. If I was boss I would throw young Kelly in. He is our future

    Very sad news. A gentleman who also made a wonderful impression on my son at the Gersnet dinner last year. RIP fella. X

    Henning Berg has had one good result, he is under heavy pressure in Poland and lasted only a few weeks down south. He has done nothing to merit being linked with our job.
  8. Super Cooper
    Did he not appoint Kinnear behind Pardews back?

    McCalls cup record domestic and European must surely rule him out. It is absolutely dreadful. We could do so much better.

    We could win the SPL with a team of bosmans, no doubt about it. There are always quality players up for grabs every summer for nothing. We have had some cracking bosmans through the years. Prso and Hemdani spring to mind. We don't have to spend millions on fees. We don't have to spend millions at all, just sign the right players. When you look at the lists of players from all over Europe every summer who are released, you could build a wonderful squad with those kind of players.

    Money for what buddy?
  12. Super Cooper
    I will square up after my stag doo mate, back on Saturday, i will see what i have left in the sherman!
  13. Super Cooper
    Surely we don't want to keep any of them mate? Boyd at a push is about it. The rest are not nearly good enough for where we will need to be.
  14. Super Cooper
    This! That's what i am thinking! No thanks Mike.
  15. Super Cooper
    Probably more and that's just for McCoist. Anyway, Rangers men taking even more money out the club after all the damage they have done? Not a chance mate. I am sure all 3 would walk for free. Perhaps someone could ask them in person if they would want a pay off to leave Rangers.

    He's paying for the bread this time!
  17. Super Cooper
    Get the 20 lads, c'mon Gersnet, let's make a day of it!
  18. Super Cooper
    But that's not sustainable mate, it's not guaranteed income. Certainly not with our football infrastructure anyway but i do agree with it in principle though like European revenue should always be seen as an added bonus to revenue.
  19. Super Cooper
    Immediate investment must be on the management team, then first team squad, stadium upgrades and then long term infrastructure like scouting and youth development etc. We need to stop Celtics dominance, right or wrong, we must.
  20. Super Cooper
    Correct. It's an absolute disgrace mate. I would put my mortgage on Ally wanting to keep most if not all of those named above. Next summer is going to be so so important.
  21. Super Cooper
    Boyd is the only one i would keep. The rest must be let go, they simply must be. A pile of absolute dross there.

    Next year will see us enter the Premiership hoping to reclaim our crown as King of Scotland. I am looking for some help in this thread from you guys please. I am looking at our revenue in the lower leagues and what we used to bring in when in the SPL and looking at how we are going to get back there, so some fag packet maths. When in the SPL our average revenues were £25m Gate Receipts and Hospitality £3m Sponsors and Advertising £5m Broadcasting rights £5m Commercial income £2m Other operating income That is us, without European football. A £40m revenue club. That is what we averaged over the last 15 years or so when not participating in Europe. This is where we will need to be at least next season to just compete i believe. Our operating expenses averaged out at £45m per season. Every year. Staff costs including wages and salaries averaged at around £30m of that £45m. 75% of turnover from above. This means that we were always pissing against the wind, needing European football. It's easy to see here trouble was always inevitable as we could never quite get the costs down to a sustainable level. When in the lower leagues our average revenues were £12m Gate receipts and hospitality. £740k Sponsorship and advertising. £1.5m Retail £700k Broadcasting £900k Commercial £1.5m Other revenue. Around £17.3m revenue as a lower league club with costs at almost double that incredibly. As a comparison, Celtic turnover over £50m in any given year without European football but obviously have a much higher operating cost base. Merchandising costs them £9m per annum but they bring in £15m Football operations brings in £30m but costs them anything between £46m and £50m including £40m in staffing costs as of last year. Multimedia and other commercial brings in £10m and costs them £2m This shows how important European football is to them as well. Without it they run at a similar loss to what we did. European football is imperative to both clubs. So anyway, i would like to know how we are going to go from a club bringing in less that £20m to a club who must bring in at least double that in the next 12 months, whilst keeping our operating costs under control. The wage bill will undoubtedly need to increase too. We are already running at a loss. Averaged out at around *£400k per month. You can see where the differences are but just how easy will it be to go back to the former revenue streams? What do you think guys? *worked out from recent 120 day review.

    Good to have it back. I've got QPR Hull game on one laptop and West Ham Spurs on another with Soccer Saturday on my TV! That is what it is all about!
  24. Super Cooper
    From 7 to 4 in a week. It will be 1 next week. He has said he wants to finish his career there so i can't see him moving in any case.
