Right lads from big wull and recbob to Billy b and to me we are all gers men with different opinions

My question is how much money do you think MW will get to spend

I will go 1st
Less than a million, but the warbs will bring in some talent on buttons in my opinion.

Mullard

You can only go so far spending that little amount and even in the spfl that's not enough to challenge for the title. You can bet Delia will get a bit to spend and even bad managers can do well with a bigger budget.

04 Apr 2016 21:35:23
I would love it if we could spend millions but if mw can get us a few players that you know and trust he can spot (unlike his predecessors) then we will win the league next year and the way he has us playing will fill the stadium then if there was money to spend I would put fill in the corners if we can get 60/ 70 thousand capacity this would generate much more cash that would come in for years to come and let us buy better players in the future. Plus the gaffer will bring on young players which will save and generate cash for the future, so I don't think we should be concerned about how much we have to spend as long as we have enough to keep mw on board and happy this guy knows about players that if most of us are honest we have never heard of. As long as the gaffer stays we have nothing to worry about.

I would hope a few million like 2 or 3 although I won't hold my breath for that amount. A just think that the more we spend under MW the better as I'm sure he will add value to whatever he brings in .
If he gets less I'm still sure he will wheel and deal his way through the market anyway to mount a challenge next year.
Either way I'm happy to be talking about how we will look in the SPFL next year, as long as we're up there this time next year challenging I will be happy. The year after I expect the title for sure. My money will still be going on us next year regardless, that's for sure.

We need to live within are means. The days off big transfer fees and wages are finished. There's bargains and free transfers out there that could improve us. We got waghorn, tavernier. kiernan for well under a million so I trust mw transfers policy. We would all love to spend 5 or 6 million on the squad but that's not going to happen and from where we've been to in the last 4 years I accept that.

05 Apr 2016 01:55:25
I Honestly think MW will get £10mil to spend in summer lads, wether he needs to spend it all is a different story, but i truly think that will be the sort of figure Dave King will give him to spend, only my opinion remember.

05 Apr 2016 06:17:39
I think he will get 2mill but will end up getting a couple of lower league gems and perhaps investing the greater sum of this money on Loans players who are on higher wages. Warbs isn't the type of manager to go out and blew huge sums of money, that is why he brought in Frank, to hunt out gems and make a profit.

05 Apr 2016 07:48:20
Mullad, I reckon £1.5-2.0million, unless we win the Scottish Cup, then possibly £3million, but who knows with dk.

05 Apr 2016 08:10:19
As has been said before, If We can sign players who will add value to the squad and we could get a sell on fee for the player then the money will be available to sign them.

05 Apr 2016 08:21:10
We should remember that despite apparently having money Celtic are nothing special. With the money they could spend they should be 20 points clear of anybody else but they are not. Celtic have hidden debt so they can't go out and spend £10 or £20 million in the summer either. Warburton seems to have the talent to bring in players for next to nothing and also spot our youngsters to give them a chance. Hardie, Walsh and Murdoch might well come back into the fold next season. If Warburton can bring on our players and sell the odd player after 2 or 3 years for a big profit then that will keep us in good financial health. The days of Torre Andre Flo, De Boer are over!

04 Apr 2016 22:02:39
I would hazard a guess that warbs will get in the region of between £1million/ £2million to spend on players to enhance our squad for going up to the scottish premiership, the magic hat will be able to pick up some good players for that sort of money, he has an eye for a player and its not the amount we spend that matters its the gems and value for money he signs for rangers that counts more than anything else, I honestly firmly believe that you don't need to have or spend a big budget on players especially in scotland as long as your manager knows what he's doing, we'll also sign some loan players from the likes of liverpool, arsenal, spurs, man city etc, we've got a terrific chief scout in frank mcparland.

04 Apr 2016 22:31:32
the manager will be given the funds for the players he wants to sign and don't forget some of the players who will leave were on good wages i think mullad the big question will be who is leaving but what i do know there will be no ancient relics from south of the border the one thing the board will insist on the players signed must have a resale value which is the way to fly.

04 Apr 2016 22:34:36
mullad i forgot the figure £2m.

04 Apr 2016 23:36:31
Moonbeams and dreamers. Hooly is a realist. Upgrading stadium too 70,000? There's no money to fix the multiple repairs. £30 million said DK is that over 10-15 years? Still no credit line from Any Bank and still a going concern. Reality will be a cold slap in the face . MW is being Very " Disrespectful"to Aberdeen, Hearst's, Ross County, Inverness etc.

05 Apr 2016 09:24:04
I don't think we will spend over 1m and will get 3 players or so for that. I personally would love to see a marquee signing to show that we mean business. Even then i think it would be a free transfer with a big wage.

05 Apr 2016 10:09:27
I think MW will see whom he can get on loan first
then there will be players leaving end of contract so
no fees involved
I would like to think they have a list of players
they would like to sign already and a list of players we will send out on loan again
I doubt if there is even 1 mill in the kitty to buy players.

05 Apr 2016 12:19:52
I would think around half a million will actually be spent over the summer. Remember we are paying for O'Halloran in three stages with I believe a number of clauses in his contract too to reach the price quoted in the papers, hence my low figure.

Does anybody know what kind of bonus the management team are on for winning the Championship btw?

05 Apr 2016 13:21:26
I don't think it's a question of how much we have to spend 2 buy players, more a question of what the budget for wages is going 2 be. That will play a huge role in determining what we have to spend. It will also play the biggest part in who will come with regards 2 an experienced player or 2.

05 Apr 2016 13:49:13
I kind of know this isn't going to be popular but. I agree with Robbie nielsons comments. We do need to spend serious money to close the gap on Celtic. Don't think we will though, and in my opinion expecting us to challenge for title next season without investment is not realistic.

There is a gulf in standard between the spl and championship and I fear that many of our players who have looked decent this year might hit a wall when they come up against better opposition week in week out.

At some point we need to sign players of a higher calibre and they are going to cost money- DK promised investment and hasn't delivered. Relying on the manager to find barging after bargain is never going to work. He himself needs to show that his player recruitment can evolve- and that his tactics can evolve at a higher level, if not next season could be painful.

05 Apr 2016 14:22:37
I've been saying close to £5m all season, sticking with it.

05 Apr 2016 14:57:54
Luigi I can see your point but I think the majority of our team has played at SPFL level, and the ones who haven't like McKay and that have served their time and are ready for the next step up. The difference between us and Hearts is they're not expected to win every week and are not playing to a packed Ibrox every second week, that brings a lot of pressure and our boys have handled it well.
I think when MW replaces the last of the players from the previous regime with his own we will be in good shape regardless of budget. He's probablly reluctantly used most of them bar Miller this year. Once it's his own team with all the players he wants I think we'll be challenging.
We will have the best management and fans in the league and I'm sure the team will Follow, if you excuse the pun.

05 Apr 2016 00:35:39
I am of the opinion that a good few million will be spent at least - the hard part has been achieved over 4 years and with varying teams who were basically acquired to do a job and get promotion from each division - I think you can even say the same applies to this seasons team - how many players will be kept for next season? Management won't just be satisfied that a return to the SPL has been achieved so I would predict an immediate title on our return would be the goal - why wait a few season to "settle in " when we have waited so long to get back - based on this assumption I would not be surprised to see some decent money being splashed out on players which would, via European football, provide a quick return - its good to be back but were not there just to make up the numbers - its title 56 were after so cash will be spent - if most people are suggesting that we need several players for key positions then they ain't going to come cheap - the futures bright - the future is red, blue and white :)

05 Apr 2016 13:12:07
We will soon find out, if DK has promised WW cash then he will have to do that, or warbs will walk, and someone said money wasn't everything in Scottish football? Well its 95% of it, Souness, oniell, Walter, Dick, Delia, there's a common denominator there, cash. O'niel knew if he spent millions on big, hard physical players, with a couple of flair players he couldn't lose in Scotland, neither coup Souy, Dick spent a fortune, as did Walter, King knows no good manager will stay with no cash to buy nowadays.

05 Apr 2016 12:44:22
I also think hooly is spot on as we can't and won't go back to the days of spending big amounts of money that some folk on here seem to think will happen, we've learned a very painful lesson over the last 4 years to not spend large amounts of money we don't have, live within our means and do the correct thing which I'm sure warbs will do anyway and spend realistic sums of money on our youth academy which is without doubt the way to go, a good manager like 'the magic hat' doesn't need to spend big money especially in scotland to be top dogs in scotland again, where we belong!

Hi fellow bears my dad is coming up from blackpool this weekend and was looking to go 2 the game but he can't go as he needs 5 tickets and when he phones up they tell him he can only 1 each as 3 of them are kids he can't get. what else can he try?

05 Apr 2016 13:19:36
Offering somebody £1500 for their ticket
Tommy.

04 Apr 2016 16:22:43
I see mw stating today that a holding midfielder is a priority in the summer does that mean he sees matt crooks as a centre back.

04 Apr 2016 16:39:35
Mentioned he has 3 CB this season. Wants 4 next season.

Think Crooks will be a utility player.

04 Apr 2016 11:40:55
Does anybody know if the final on Sunday is on TV joke if not as there's money to be made for theses broadcasters.

No need to panic league will be won on tuesday we are almost back to where we belong, we are playing good football with a squad that was built in 6 weeks, if we get anything in cup game aginst the rotten mob its a bonus but promotion was our priority cup semi is a win win for rangers we are not expected to win it aslong as the players give a good account of themselves, new players will be brought in the summer for the challenge ahead . and i would like to thank the board, the gaffer, sir davie and most of all the rangers fans who together have gave us all our club back.

04 Apr 2016 09:06:44
Well said bigtrfc. I recall that Celtic only beat us 2-0 last season in the League Cup tie, that against probably the worst Rangers team ever with the worst manager ever! Let's win the league tomorrow night and I think that will get rid of any jitters. We've played well in the cup games and the 4-0 rout of Dundee was the best perfromance of the season. I can't believe we won't score at least a couple of goals against Celtic in the semi-final and I hope Warburton keeps faith with the entertaining attacking football style which we've all enjoyed. I think we'll need Ball and Laws in the starting XI against Celtic. By the time we play them we'll be champions and Challenge Cup holders!

04 Apr 2016 10:01:14
To be fair, he wasn't the manager and had the job landed on him. We were very poor last season though.
