Mr Heliums Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) 12 hours ago, The_Kincardine said: So comparing Hearts' situation where a quantified debt with an accepted CVA and a sugar-mummy (not the fans) to pay the price and Ranger's situation with unquantified debt and a belligerent creditor who rejected a CVA for other reasons is invidious. It may be that the circumstances surrounding the debts at Rangers and Hearts were different. I don't know. But I do know that Rangers fans falling back on that as an excuse for doing nothing to save their club is cringeworthy. Whatever the mountain of troubles that faced Rangers, their fans kept their hands in their pockets. However hard it might have been to save Rangers, their fans didn't try. By any measure, they did let their club die. Edited January 12, 2018 by Mr Heliums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Indeed, when belts began to be tightened, they took the opposite route from sense, and stated that they "deserve/d better" one cold night at McDiarmid. Quite remarkable. Edited January 12, 2018 by Ranaldo Bairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 No money in the bank + Not enough commercial income to see out the season + No credit facilities + £15 million in soft loans = financially stable? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we raised just over half a million through the poorly organised RFFF, which was obviously never going to be enough. Diddy fans boasting about "saving their club" is laughable. There's no comparison to be made, but I think most normal people realise that. In other news, Atletico at around 2/1 tonight looks like free money, assuming they bring a decent team. Not enough “company” in this post. #slipping 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle_do_nicely Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 would almost, juuuuust about have raised a wee snag at the back of my mind with a realistic figure before I had a chance to think about it, but £429M ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 £429m is a bargain for the most successful team in the world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

professor challenger Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Serious question, why would anyone who isn't a supporter make a major investment in a Scottish team? Without accessing the latter stages of the Champions League there's little profit to be made. Revenue streams from the media and advertisers are minimal so I fail to see the motivation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
