nsr Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Sevco supporters are literally incapable of having any sort of self-worth without comparing their team's fortunes to other teams' fortunes. Try getting a job or starting a family. Something else to provide meaning to your life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how tinpot Aberdeen FC are Alternative view there is that you had a stadium and training ground for £5.5m, get 45k+ a week in gates and have overspent by around £10m a year just to finish ahead of a tinpot club. Not sure who that makes more tinpot? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a strange angle to take from the press, going after something that is so simple to explain. I can only assume the journo involved simply wants to get himself noticed, as there is absolutely no benefit to anyone from portraying it the way he has. It will only anger an element of the Rangers fans and cause further friction between Rangers and the rest of the Scottish game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with a logical mind can see the strides forward we've made under Gerrard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few months down the line and you will be a mess of tears and snotters saying 'why didn't anybody warn us?' 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise most clubs run at a loss including the near entirety of the English Championship often to a far more significant extent? You're not making any logical point here. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenlantern Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Well that's a very reductive way of looking at it. Anyone with a logical mind can see the strides forward we've made under Gerrard. You have. And I’m sure when Gerrard eventually leaves Ibrox for a bottom half EPL side he’ll be fondly remembered for his impenetrable hairstyle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The English Championship is indeed a financial basket case. Financial emergencies are hardly rare down there. There's a team called Bolton you might want to read up on. Another team spent a lot of money trying to get into the Championship and aren't playing football any more. You'd think Rangers fans would have learned their lesson. The idea of the Hearts support tolerating the club being put at risk financially is ridiculous, but Rangers fans seem to be happy to sleepwalk into oblivion. The spivvs fooled them once, and Rangers fans seem keen to be fooled again. Imagine playing in the Europa League and still losing more than ten million quid.

If you actually think that we are "sleepwalking into oblivion" with a wage to turnover ratio of 63% then you really need to do some research because you don't know what you are talking about. I don't think you do actually believe that incidentally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's completely unsustainable. Yet Rangers responded by throwing good money after the bad. Failing to stop Celtic get 9 and 10 in a row will kill your club. Like the old one.

Largely though I think finishing behind Aberdeen 2 years running was a sign of monumental mismanagement, rather than Gerrard being a fantastic manager. You are now where you should be, given the resources made available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I think you are doing Gerrard a great disservice here. Getting through a full set of qualifiers twice in a row was a big achievement and his European record is unarguably strong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
