There are a lot of us on here who think King, T3B and Board are not the answer for our Club and by us I don't pay any attention to the Celtic fans who care about us so much they put their tuppence worth in, they don't count as they are bitter enough to come on here.

I know there are probably some trolls who pretend to be Rangers fans amongst you which is sad. You take every opportunity to criticise the Board and daily predict the Boards failure or incompetence on a variety of current and future issues even before they happen. That's all well and good, you are all entitled to your opinions.

What is very, very disappointing is not one of you ever offer a solution or an alternative that would be, in your opinion better than our current Board or the Management Team they have employed.

Why don't you post your idea of a better option than the Board instead of just being negative about them and their decisions. Please let us all here your idea of an alternative to the Board that you think are so bad

I look forward to hearing your suggestions.

Just because some of us have reservations about what the Board has done since they took control, doesn't mean we want them REMOVED and a completely new structure put in place.
A fans forum is a place for all opinions including dissenting ones. Otherwise you just become North Korea or Phil Mcghoullishbaws.
Ownership by the RST would be the ideal outcome but that's a pipe dream. DK has talked about greater fan representation and accountability but we will have to wait for a new share issue and probably a year or two to see how that pans out.
My concerns are that - so far - the rhetoric hasn't been matched by deeds. It is DK who has come out with phrases like 'over-investment', 'whatever it takes' and 'unlimited budget'. He assures us that reptile Ashley isn't a problem. I want to believe DK. I don't want him to go. But I do want him to show me (some of) the money.

its ok slating the board about investment but we must give thhem at least a year to see how things go financially this year will be another fair sized loss which they will have to come good for they will also have to underwrite the the share iissue which I don't see a great clamour of instituitions to buy only fans groups and individuals (i won't buy due to past losses and there will be many like me)but u have to weigh what we want what we have got and the past regimes obviously real madrid /barcelona model is best but I don't see that happening anytime soon I have also got to say I was not one of kings supporters before the takeover and think his boycott campaign has come back to bite him with the lack of season book sales but in eneral its a sucket and see situation but we are certainly in a better place than this time last season and I have to say of all the money that was plundered /wasted macoist was up there with the rest of the wahoos who tried to bleed the club dry that's aproblem we don't have now and personally I am excited by the new management team co basically we must give king and co their shot at the title

Show you the money??
Who do you want Warburton to spend money on?
I am sure they have a list of players they want to sign. If they think that there are players of the required quality who they can get for nothing, why go for a player who might not be any better but would cost half a million quid. If they can get a team together on a shoestring then surely that is better for the club.
I am sure if there are players who require a transfer fee then the money will be given, but no point spending for the sake of it.
There is still a couple of weeks before the season starts and the transfer window doesn't close until the end of August, so come on folks give Warburton a chance to do what he thinks is right.

We should perform better financially this year by getting rid of 11 overpaid under performers. Probably on about 10k a week give or take so that's probably about the 5m plus mark then bonuses etc that we are saving. Doubt any of the new signings will be on that amount. I don't know where all the other millions have gone though. Hopefully the board can regulate spending more efficiently. I think its good to have guys like park on the board and investors I don't think they would stand for all the money dissapearing as its their investments that are at stake as well as the club they are supporting.

I hope the club has notified sports direct that their 7 year arrangements won't be renewed unless they are renegotiated drastically.

Over investment? They have already invested £3m just to get us through the end of last season and if we get 30,000 they will have to invest £6m to get through next season on last years figures so that's £9m over investment so far, without additional investment for players, an increased wage bill or repairs to Ibrox/MP.

They will also have to over invest on players and wages to compete in the SPL the following season.

There are too many of us who don't see big money signings being made so they think the board are not investing. Hearts cruised this league without any last season, would you rather the board spent £3m on a couple of players and another million plus on their wages when we don't need them just to pacify some expectant fans? I wouldn't , I'd much rather have the shrewd, measured approach the Board are taking.

They are investing plenty because it will take plenty even for us to stand still never mind move forward.

As for the RST, a great idea but they don't have money to plug gaps in finance say if there was no CL money one season. If they did own Rangers season tickets would have to double so that they covered most of the £20m a year its costs to run us at present and more like £30m it will cost to run us when in the SPL and competing to get into the CL. Other income would cover buying players and property maintenance and improvement.

We need to get real we don't have a sugar daddy any more and surely after the last 3 n a half years a sugar daddy is the last thing we need, King and co are right they are building a Club that can sustain itself, anyone who doesn't want that are mad mate.

Im one of the many supporters who are with holding judgement on king until he gets a bit of time. But he isn't helping himself by contradicting things he said.
