It's clear we need money spent on the team we have to face the fact no individual is going to come in invest as they would be looking for a return so I'm afraid it's up to us fans . If say 100000 fans all donate £100 each to some sort of player fund that's £10000000 just not sure Warburton is the man to spend that kind of money.

While I respect the sentiment I see little point in fans digging deep, as they tend to do on a regular basis while the man that is currently the Chairman keeps his hands in his pocket. The idea would be more appropriate if such a scheme could be structured and King agreed to match or double what the fans contributed! Question one, do we have 100,000 fans that would be that committed, answer, probably, question two, could we expect King to match or double the fans contribution; somehow I doubt it!

100,000 thousand Rangers fans "donate" £100? Are you for real?

100000 fans went to Manchester not so long ago bet they spent at least £100 each so why not .

The general idea of fans finance I believe is the correct one and as a season ticket holder would happily pay more on a frequent basis but it has to be done in large numbers of fans to be effective
Like it or not Celtic have been well managed in a period when we have not so their financial strength will not be challenged unless we do something creative and different.
Why would Dave King or any other businessman put money into Rangers without security and under the current Sports Direct stranglehold the opportunities are limited if not legally constrained.

@gman - us fans already pay our way through match day costs. Let's now see how deep DK's etc pockets are.

Not deep enough I'm afraid.

Novel idea chaps try getting your head round this. Try running a solvent football club based on a financial business model. One that spends only what one generates. Who in there right mind is going to pour tens of millions of £££ into a half dead football club for nostalgia? Certainly not so thousands of fans can enjoy the good times again. What's needed is sound business men with no fraudulent backgrounds and certainly no emotional ties. Unfortunately your club is not economically viable and as a result no investment will be made.
