Got a wee text there from my mate. He’s a Rangers shareholder and has been told that John Bennett and Stuart Gibson are willing to spend up to 10million over the next 2 weeks to show a statement of intent. I thought I should share this to see if anyone else has heard similar. Great news if that’s the case.

Brilliant if that's the case, but we need to get certain players off the wage bill.

That is great news carlukeloyal ?and we've already had £8million turned down for the superb cercle brugge striker kevin denkey ?.

Would be nice if true, just hope we are wise n get good signings not panic the last days of the window
But honestly who know buddie.

No denying this true or not . But where does that stand with FFP rules? Can investors just spend that?

Told by who? I’m a shareholder but no one is telling me anything the fact I’m a shareholder doesn’t give me titbits I never hear from the club except my invite to the shareholders annual Meeting, but hope your mate is right.

It’s still clubs money.

Did John 227 not post regarding 10 million available a few days ago, John 227.

18 Jan 2024 15:27:21
Carlukeloyal - having cash to spend is one thing. Finding the right player at the right price is totally different though. It's good to hear rumblings that there is some budget there, I just hope we can spend it more wisely than happened in Summer.
9.) 18 Jan 2024
18 Jan 2024 15:27:54
I'm a shareholder of many years also twacoos and it maybe that carlukeloyal's mate got info from people who are close to bennett and gibson ? Hope it's true ?.

18 Jan 2024 15:40:42
Yeah I just saw John has posted about Denkey and the bid been turned down. Shame that as he’s a great wee player. Certainly shows though we have funds to spend so there must be some truth in this.

12.) 18 Jan 2024
18 Jan 2024 15:46:49
Walter that ain’t the case.
That’s just pure fantasy land, we certainly never bid that much for any player.
13.) 18 Jan 2024
18 Jan 2024 15:47:23
Quite simply not happening. Uefa are on our case relentlessly at the moment. We are spending 30m in a season with no significant sales.
14.) 18 Jan 2024
18 Jan 2024 16:00:40
If we do have £10 million to spend ?we bring in 2/ 3 quality players.
15.) 18 Jan 2024
18 Jan 2024 16:02:24
Very much doubt Clement will be given the funds he deserves until the summer. We spent a fair amount at the start of the season, and I'm guessing it cost us to sack Beale and co? can't see us doing anything unless players leave. Jan is always a very tricky time to bring players of quality in.
16.) 18 Jan 2024
18 Jan 2024 16:02:59
Yeah as if the club chairman is out there telling people that they are going to be spending x amount of money.
17.) 18 Jan 2024
18 Jan 2024 16:03:53
Let's make 1 thing clear there's not going to be £10m spent we can't just go against the FFp rules it doesn't work then way.
18.) 18 Jan 2024
18 Jan 2024 16:13:55
Surely they would’ve planned this pre the window opening rather than just deciding half way through it. There’s no point in spending for the sake of it.
19.) 18 Jan 2024
18 Jan 2024 16:20:00
I'm a shareholder also think your mates at it I'm afraid. Ffp would make it a no go anyway.

22.) 18 Jan 2024
18 Jan 2024 16:46:39
I maybe being sceptical John says we had a bud of 8 million and then someone comes on and says we have 10 million to spend.
23.) 18 Jan 2024
18 Jan 2024 16:47:10
I can certainly believe this regarding Bennett and Gibson. since there has been rumour of additional Investment for some time with John Halsted also being a player that I would not be surprised being a name that we hear more of going forward.
Rumour of additional Far Eastern Investment and US Investment has appeared on a number of occasions with cynics pointing to this being linked to the AGM however I would suggest that with Bennett coming onboard as Full Time Chairman from this summer, we might see considerable movement in terms of the future financial structure of the Club and on a positive note these wealthy Rangers men are emotionally attached to the Club and want to see success on the Park.
In terms of incoming transfers, January is a notoriously difficult transfer window and with our new Management Team only recently through the door it will take time to bring people of the quality they want to the Club.
Like most supporters I would like to see a couple of new players including a striker although I would also be prioritising a centre back since I am not a fan of either Davies or Souttar and worry that when both Goldson and Balogun are not in the team our defence is weaker.
That apart, I would much rather wait until the summer for new signings when I suspect that we will have significantly more funds available to bring in quality players. I would much rather that we concentrated our efforts to secure some top quality Bosmans on re-contract agreements.

Ts72, no significant sales? 2022, Patterson, Bassey and Aribo, pretty significant and would have paid for transfers that season .2O23, Kamara, Sakala, Colak may not be as significant but certainly offset a lot of what was spent in the summer . We are not miles down in player dealings. As for the person that says its not Bennett and Gibsons money, you have obviously not been paying attention, the board members have been pumping money in to keep the club afloat for years and to finance transfers . They have not had to do it the last two seasons because of player sales and European runs but then folk say they should be spending more, money the club doesn`t have, so where do you think it comes from.
33.) 18 Jan 2024
18 Jan 2024 18:34:53
A lot of the money we have spent over the last few years was money straight from investors pockets that was returned through shares to get us to a self reliant led club, when we gave Clemont the job it always looked like we would have to raise funds for him, the board can see see like the rest of us a goal scorer could win us the league and if we can’t raise it with player sales this window which is doubtful then they will add money to the pot if the right player became available especially if there is a future sell on like Dhenky would of had, personally think John will be spot on.

John, don’t take the small number of muppets who try and bring you down. I don’t mind people challenging, having a different opinion or completely disagreeing with me, but what I can’t stand is being just having cheap diga when they offer nothing themselves, which is what you’re experiencing.
Keep posting John, I appreciate it, as others do. Also, consider starting out on Twitter/ X although the number of moonhowlers is higher.
Keep posting and just don’t respond to the comments.

John I was only asking if we can do that with FFP i certainly wasn't doubting your rumour about funds . You've clearly got contacts inside club and have been proven correct lots of times . Not every rumour going to be right but don't stop posting them. I don't post any as mines would just be me guessing lol.

Getting ridiculous on here now people posting "rumours" they have heard and then get shot down and vilified for it. No wonder other folk don't want to post. @John227 and White Horse and others please keep posting there are plenty people on here who like to read what you put up.

I don't have anything against anyone and we are all part of the same family but as some others have said John people post a rumour you dismiss it sometimes and that's fine but then if some dismiss your rumour you throw the toys out the pram and can be very cutting in your response at times.

What if John was right? Some of the replies are just plain cheeky- there’s no need! He’s on here all the time giving info u otherwise wouldn’t get!
I feel like there is something going on at Rangers because there no daft the know the whole fanbase are screaming for signings! Imagine letting down big Phil when there’s major opportunities for us! Surely not, surely they can't shut up shop and think we’re good enough!
The last old form game demonstrated to me perfectly what the difference is, they have a goal scorer we don’t, if Dessers had scored the whole of Parkhead would have changed, it would have been our game.
This would rank as one of the biggest let downs in recent times for me if they don’t back the manager. They can say there trying all they want but it’s not good enough. Celtic managed to sign a player no problem, and btw if I’m being honest he’s a good player to. If they don’t back the manager now and at the end of the season we only have the league cup in the bag- I’ll no be manager blaming, I will blame the board. They gave Beale the money ultimately it’s their fault. Don’t let PC suffer because they f******* up.
Back the manager now Rangers board, I don’t want excuses!
