rbr 1,247 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Thought I would take the chance to have a quick over view of where we are and how we may move forward . Firstly what we know or believe we know . 1. We are in debt to the sum of approx �£25 million give or take , we have an agreement to reduce a term loan by �£1million per year and also it is muted reduce our need of an overdraft by a simillar amount depending on who you believe . 2. We have an ongoing issue with HMRC which has yet to even reach the stage of a first tier meeting and as yet no figure/amount has been demanded , in fact as we speak we still dont even know if we have any outstanding amounts to settle . 3.The squad , which was thread bare to start is 3 less than it was , though I would argue we are actually stronger than we were this time yeaterday . Miller will definetly be missed , Velicka nope , Webster nope .Beattie nope and Loy and MacMillan were only taking wages , now we have Healy , Diouf and Bartley , all may be onloan but all will be involved . 4. Taking away from the personalities and everything else , we are also up financially after this window , Healy took a cut in wages to play for us at �£4000 pw , Blackburn were offering to pay for Diouf to go (wages that is ) so I dont see him costing the earth , dont know about Bartley . So all in all we may be up as much as �£40,000 per week up on the deal plus Miller,s transfer fee and the small amount for Loy. 5. Does this actually do us any good in the long run , if we keep challenging , and as it stands ,if we win our games in hand we are top , why would Lloyds or Murray for that matter want to sell us , the debt is getting reduced , we are being successful and the asking price will not be changing , so Murray and Lloyds win we carry on in a groundhog day sort of way . 6. Our ambitions will never be met by the present board at Rangers , because they will never be allowed to spend the money we are bringing in , we are like George Orwell's 1984 , where we are forever fighting a war against unknown , unseen and never heard from enemies , whether it's Murray , Lloyd's or HMRC the battle is always there and our ambitions and hopes are always tempered . In a way its a bit like waking up every morning and being force fed a Valium . So what's the answer ,f**k knows but this is Rangers from 2001 .......every day is groundhog day and this bear is getting worn down by it all . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedan 93 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Point 5 is interesting about the comment made about Murray. Why would he now want to sell. As you say, debt may well have been reduced and we have been successful. At the start of the season you can see that we also have 3 very sellable assets in Shagger, Davis and Bougie. Now you could probebly add Ness to that, pretty sure by the end of the season he could have 20 plus games under his belt and perhaps do a Wilson (hope not). Also of course Naisey just signed a new deal so we could get top bucks for him (b ut with Bain handling things we'd be sure to lose out on 4 million). I think Murray is thinking of holding out... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 The bit about Murray........probably the only reason he would sell would be he is bored and fed up with Rangers FC, and if he is not, then it is up to the Supporters to make him so. But as long as we are successful on the park most are quite happy. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
