First Time poster!!!
I come on here and read some of the posts every day, I keep seeing people write about king not giving the financial backing that he said he would, he has came into the club and got us in a more stable condition as to what we were, you have to remember we are still running at a loss and its him and the board that is keeping the cub afloat, people on crying about money, king and the board has already invested £25 million in the club already to keep the club going, it may not all be in transfers but without that money we would surely be bust, the board has done well. another thing I don't get is why people keep asking where this 30 million war chest is, would you really trust MW with that kind of money because I sure wouldn't, up until this transfer window rangers have spent the same amount as celtic, all being celtic bought a better quality of player, we have spent 4 million on, garner, rossitar, Crooks, windass and MOH... celtic spent 4 million on Sinclar and dembele, we need to give the board our backing. I don't think MW is the person to take us forward as I think the team has went backwards from last season, halliday, kiernan, holt and a few others haven't kicked a ball all season but seem to start week in and out and get a full 90 mins, it really worries me that the people in charge cannot see that they are costing us goals every week, I have no doubt we will finish second but i think the board need to get someone new in and look at next season as this one is over.

Sorry we've spent £4mil? £1.5m for garner, 65k for crooks, 65k for windass, 500k for MOH and 250k for Rossiter. That to me is £2.38million, not the £4mil you are quoting. Also why are you comparing us to Celtic? Rodgers didn't need to create a new team, he wanted a new striker and a winger, he spent £4mil and got that. we have a new squad. C'mon mate if you are going to rant, at least be correct about what you are ranting about.

£1.8M for garner, £250k for windass and Crooks, £500k for MOH, £250k for Rossiter, £250K for Dodo, plus development fees for the players we brought in for the youth squad, plus the squad we have is his squad from last season with the exception of theses players, signing policy has been all wrong, we have spent the same as celtic and cannot touch them, the players that have been brought in this season has come to around £4m, so I am correct in what I am saying.

You forgot barton dodoo both cost us money to sign or get rid of

We don't know all the correct sums and figures these days as a lot goes on behind the scenes but compare us to them. Rogers came in and had basically the same team we played off the park in the semi final with out having too many clear cut chances . He got couple quality players in Sinclair and dembelle in which has been the difference in the old firm games to be honest . Warburton strengthened our team with all the signings . But it hasn't worked . Rogers hasn't had many problems to deal with except maybe having to sit a 40 goal a season guy on the bench. My opinion is warburton can't
Man manage a player who is Aggresive . Passionate . Warrior type player but only players who when he says jump they say how high . His boys. I can't see where this is all going to or how it is going to end but if he does not drop certain players this sat then I do not feel we will finish second .

Only show, garner was 1.8 million, crooks was 250.000 windass was 250.000,rossiter was 250.000,o, halloran was 500.000,waghorn was 200.000,tav was 200.000,holt was 65.000,I can't think of anyone else off the top of my head but he prob has spent about 4 million on players. but that's on a full team, not much nowadays but I bet hearts and the sheep would love 4 million to spend on players. lol

Your lucky if we spent more than 1 mill on garner
03 Feb 2017 13:12:35
Barca, you did not mention those players. you mentioned Garner, Crooks, windass, Moh and Rossiter.
Crooks and Windass were 65k each. You are now bringing youth players into it aswell?
Again with the stuff about spending the same as celtic, celtic already had the best squad in the bloody country. they bought 2 players for £4mil, because their team was already the bloody best in the country! Ronny had Celtic playing some dreadful football, Rodgers has them playing how they should be, stop comparing our spend to Celtics, it isn't a fair comparison.

Windass and Crooks were 65k each. That is why the Accrington manager was raging about them coming to us. As far as I was aware, tav, kiernan and waghorn were all a part of the same deal, 300k for all?

OnlyShow, i'm not comparing our squad to celtics I am comparing our spending to celtics, i'm just stating we have spent as much as them and haven't brought in the same quality they have, I am simply questioning our managers signing policy as it has been all wrong.

There is a big difference though Barca, we had to bring in MULTIPLE players, Celtic needed 2 players for their already very impressive and expensive team.
03 Feb 2017 14:53:42
Sinclair alone cost them over £6 million!
03 Feb 2017 16:09:30
Rodgers had the champions of the country when he came in so one or two new players and spending 5 million as i'm sure sincalire was 4.5 million all in so couple of players woth that and we had to get build a team that would challenge .
I know what job i'd rather have.
also i'm not taking warbs side as last summer he should have got in defenders as that was our weakest part of our team yet he still says its fine and defnce isn't to blame i'm sorry but that stupidity or plain ignorance!
id love to see money come in but it won't not while we are in the fat rats pocket

Don't see anyone counting wages in their calculations. Have to count them into signing fees.
