calscot 0 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I think the pitch thing could work in tandem as it means actually buying the pitch which would mean it could never be sold even if another Rangers umbrella company goes bust. And as you practically own that bit of pitch it could potentially raise more money and be something that could be traded. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Just read about the Chelsea pitch thing - sounds like an excellent idea for us - without the loan of course and at a cheaper price. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear54 0 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Membership scheme is a great idea and I'd be in like a shot. But why give the funds to the Club? Why not manage it as a fund and release those funds as and when appropriate. The one thing we should have learned out of the past years is the we are our only friends. We would have some clout if we got this up into the millions. In fact, if we administered it ourselves, we would always have clout.

calscot 0 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Seems to me that if we're going to do that we should be using the money in share issues to gradually own more of the club until we have more than 50% like the Bundesliga. The fans will slowly lose their money but will own the club forever... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More or less what I suggested the money we charge the club, what's left after its used for the stadia upkeep is used to buy shares before long the fans would have the controlling stake in the club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd need a long term plan to develop some level of mutual interest between the fans. As it is now, it would be a self destructive bun fight. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
