the gunslinger 3,366 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Getting to where hearts are can be done fast. But its worth noting the foh have 8k members pumping money into the club. We have rf with 12k buying out ****s at present. We have more money but its going to greenco not rangers. I will bet good money that we don't have one single contract that wasn't chosen because it gave the biggest kickback to greenco instead of it being best for the club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 We would need to triple our player wage bill. A wage bill we can't afford right now. It can be done quickly or affordably but not both. A high wage bill does not equal a good team. We have the 2nd highest wage bill in Scotland, do we have the 2nd best team? Its more about getting the right players at the right price.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) I should pioint out I said 10 years or 100 million. It will be a combination of both I am sure with fans and shareholders pumping in millions. With luck we could do it in 3. If we get the right manager and get promotion this season. 5 seems more likely. Though 2 isn't impossible.

Scott7 5,135 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 During niar Rangers spent umpteen times more than Aberdeen or Motherwell but for a couple of seasons each gave us a run for our money. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darthter 542 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 it's not impossible but it's highly highly unlikely. no one has ever done it. So, all we need to do is have a higher wage bill than Ceptic & we'll be sorted??? What makes a good player?? What makes a good team?? Ability/skill or weekly wage?? We currently have the 2nd highest wage bill in the country, yet where has that got us??? We have a team predominantly made up of Premiership-level players, yet how many Challenge cups have we won??? When it comes down to it we have not really challenged premiership clubs - granted we have beaten a few, but overall we are not a threat to them. Hearts are currently running away with the Championship title, yet their wage bill will be a fraction of ours.... Throwing money at the problem is not the answer. A properly thought out, planned & implemented structure is what is required......then spend the money achieving the results. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
