Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.
07 May 2018 21:33:25
King is a user, and the gullibles accept his crap. I am very surprised that he thinks he can get away with this. He will be exposed for what he is, but SG will not accept his lies.
How many times has he tried to pull the wool. Time to move over and salvage what you can, and get to hell out of our life.
Rangers will survive but you have no chance and have been found out for what you are.
07 May 2018 21:43:01
Are you on the glue? Get away with what?
07 May 2018 21:46:16
What did you expect. Did you seriously think that they were going to come out and say we’re getting x amount of money invested and using it all on transfers? Every club would hold us for ransom more so than they do already, and even clubs from abroad would since we’ve been in the lime light the past few days in world football.
07 May 2018 21:58:39
Blue 89 there's no money getting invested there never was it's nothing to do with hiding it so we can't be held to ransom. Any investment would have to be announced as it would be in accounts. The gap between announcements was to get all the excitables worked up to renew
07 May 2018 22:01:25
Billy, same old from you about DK?
Was it not just the other day that you proclaimed new money, new investors etc that would depose King?
Where are they now?
07 May 2018 22:52:09
Sorry guys but 20/ 30/ 40million from an outside source equals 20/ 30/ 40 million debt. Have we not learned anything from the last 5 years. need a good and stable management team that can win matches consistently, buy young talent, develop them and eventually sell for profit, hopefully sg is the answer, remember we had a good run of games in January and someone wanted to give us 10 mill for Morelos, new merch/ kit deal, good europa run, possible sale of players, next season we’ll be back to running a good buisiness model making profit then build from there. A Year or 2 of doing good business then we can start spending bigger and really go 4 Celtic. It won’t happen overnight but getting in more debt is not the answer for me.
08 May 2018 05:07:09
We've just gotten a new shirt deal and if pedro got reportedly 8m without a share issue then SG could be fronted a bit of cash could he not?
08 May 2018 06:57:26
Going by the accounts camoo it was less than 4. Unless we sell to raise funds can't see him hm getting more than 5 or 6 million. Hopefully any sales will all be spent on replacements
08 May 2018 09:53:17
Anyone that has not read the full interview with dk on the topical items attracting attention, should do so.
To keep it simple, everything he touches is a battle with authority. His take on any situation, appears to conflict with the other party.
There are comments made that I beleve to be incorrect, so I suppose it is a simple case of do you believe him, or not?
Time will tell, but my biggest hope at present is he and his board fulfil any promises made to SG.
I also believe that he is the major stumbling block to major investment, in the near future.
DK17 ---at least I try to be consistent.
What I would credit him with, is that he gave straight answers, either true or otherwise.
07 May 2018 20:33:26
Hi lads first time on sg would not have accepted the job unless he was given assurances the guy is no fool Stevie g oozes class he is a winner he will install the same in any team he puts on the pitch we will never roll over again while he is in charge king will back him with more than £6m. a new era better than Souness the legend has left Liverpool god has arrived in Govan.
07 May 2018 19:54:26
Am I just being cynical or could they have just announced that along with Gerrard. Give the supporters a few days of excitement after the Gerrard appointment and thinking there is investment coming and a few more days of season ticket renewals while folk are on cloud 9? Weird they held out 4 days to announce a share issue we all knew was coming.
07 May 2018 21:03:52
I think we all feel a frustrated blue today
07 May 2018 22:53:51
King did mention the share issue during the Stevie G unveiling. It's just a bit mystifying as to why he sets up another press conference to repeat himself, unless, as some have said, it"s a clever ploy to sell season books
08 May 2018 03:19:29
Don't think there's any doubt it was a ploy to give a few extra days to sell season tickets
07 May 2018 19:25:38
mcinnes bumping his gums again to the record what a loser
07 May 2018 19:16:28
Ok. So there is nothing to get excited about regards investment.
Does it matter so long as SG gets what he needs from the club?
Furthermore, I think some of the old contracts are still in place re: Sports direct etc. No new investment would happen while they are still involved in ANY capacity.
07 May 2018 20:23:13
And why do u think fat a#rse is still involved mate
07 May 2018 21:27:12
Well see where the strips are available I've got a suspicion were not 100% rid of Ashley either.
07 May 2018 18:14:05
Bears, I know we're all slightly disappointed with the announcement of £6 million share offer given the talk over the weekend of major investment. I was initially pissed off, however thinking about it, how many of celtic's team were in Deila's team? With the exception of 3 or 4, that is Deila's team - who weren't anything special. Yet, Brenda has got more out of them. Hopefully Gerard can do likewise with our players. The talk of £70 million (as commons says) to get near them is utter crap.
07 May 2018 20:00:01
I have been reliably informed that Two investors with another due and David Murrays money have been confirmed.
Dave King not announcing as prices for Stevie-G targets would increase five fold.
Watch this space fellow bears.
Keep Calm and watch proceedings in the next 6-8 weeks.
07 May 2018 20:09:22
Good post plus as far as I’m aware the only mention of 10’s of millions getting pumped in was on here. Now most folk are in the huff. Personally I would love massive investment but I do believe Gerrard will be able to build a team and have a kitty. For all the folk saying they’ve had enough and won’t spend another penny into the club then don’t. Simples
07 May 2018 21:27:15
I will also give you an insight to further investment being considered by a consortium involving Robbie Fowler and others down south.
Also a well known drinks corporations have invited Rangers for upcoming discussions.
These talks are coming to the table soon.
So the near future could be very bright indeed.
07 May 2018 18:03:11
I posted on Saturday king won't go till he gets a pay off, then I said the figure 12million, this share issue is a smoke screen, the contact I have is in Glasgow, so hopefully I'll hear from him later, to find out what he's heard, all the stories, there has to be some truth in there somewhere. keep believing.
07 May 2018 18:43:07
Loyalist King has no power without the support of the shareholders. King personally owns 14% of the shares. So you are telling me that he wants £12mill for his shares. If that happens anyone who wants to take over at Rangers would be paying possibly 40p per share? Buy his buy up others and work out average price each share bought at. Not a chance. If the shareholders tell King he is no longer wanted he needs to walk. He can keep his shares but he is out the club. You are talking as if King is the owner. He is only an employee and shareholder. You are talking nonsense. King may go to escape takeover panel ruling but this £12mill to go now is fools talk.
07 May 2018 18:57:59
Loyalist guys like you and others on here just need to let it go with I'll see what my source is telling me later on. 50 million to make what 2 million prize money at the end of the season.
07 May 2018 19:02:31
King has already done everything the takeover panel had asked but now they admit they have proof the money is indeed in the trust fund King put forward. Thay have now asked him to have the money put into an account over here and ring-fenced so it can't be used for anything else. With his reluctance to make the offer I can understand why they are making him jump through hoops. But they imo are going to far and jumping through hoops takes time.
07 May 2018 20:26:27
£12m for 14% but he has to offer £11m for the other 86%? That makes sense.
07 May 2018 17:58:21
I don't understand our fans buying into the press and pundits views that silly money is needed to overhaul Celtic. If you take the TOTAL transfer fees paid to assemble the Invincibles (Lol) then it would be under £20m. So how come to even get a team on the park to challenge said Invincibles, we are told will take £30m, £40m or as Commons came out with £70m. It's laughable. If you want to talk about biggest outlays on players then you only have to look at Pena, Herrera and Cardosso to see that throwing money about isn't always the solution. Let's just wait and see what Steven Gerrard and Mark Allen come up with instead of worrying how much the war chest will be.
07 May 2018 18:48:50
Its about replacement cost and player value.
Dembele £15mill. Tierney £20mill. Rogic £7mill. ARMSTRONG £5MILL. AJAR £7MILL. N'tcham £7mill. BROWN £5MILL. FORREST £5MILL. THERE IS £71MILL From our 1st 11. Want me to add in the bench and others and its £100mill. Do same with Rangers and its maybe £50mill. So the gap player for player is £50mill.
07 May 2018 19:14:44
Brown 5 million. Teirney 20 million. Ajier 7 million😂😂😂😂😂. What’s happened to Dembele he was worth 70 million Dembele dollars last season? 😂😂😂😂
07 May 2018 19:48:04
Rogc 3 mill Armstrong 3 mill ajer probably 2 mill brown no sell on value as he's probably only got 2 year left in him n he's feart to go to England because he'd get shown up for what he is. A reday card every 2nd weed if the refs up here weren't scared to card him
07 May 2018 21:44:07
JGG1, i never said Dembele was worth £70mill? Anyway you cut it Celtic squad is worth £100mill. Rangers maybe £50mill. Anyway you will find out what your squad is worth when SG tries to sell them as they are pretty hopeless. He will nerd to do something because he is not getting much from King and co. Tell you why, because you are skint!
07 May 2018 21:50:41
Virgil wasn't all that when he played according to most of your fans. Overrated and couldn't hack in a "proper league" now he's most expensive defender in the world
07 May 2018 21:59:51
I've never been on another club's website.
I have no interest in what they say to each other or what they think, or if they think!
But it seems like moths to a flame they just can't stay away from the Rangers fan forums.
Perhaps they are lonely.
They are certainly sad.
But whatever they are it won't change the fact that they hate us and we don't care!
07 May 2018 23:17:24
In what world is Brown worth £5m? Honestly think you should stay off the sauce if you think some of the prices you quote would happen
07 May 2018 16:41:50
Got to laugh everybody up in arms about what king announced today! Ask yourself two questions would king announce how much he's going to spend on transfer targets and would Steven Gerrard take the Rangers job without a descent transfer budget? 😂😂.
07 May 2018 16:58:29
Agreed JGG1. Was disappointed earlier on but realistically SG isn’t coming up here for a pittance of a budget. Time to move on from this. Get behind the team, beat Aberdeen tomorrow and all but secure second place then look forward to next season.
07 May 2018 17:04:31
As simple, down to earth statement JGG1. ---- and spot on. Let's wait and see what transpires in the next four or five weeks with players in and out.
07 May 2018 17:23:50
I can't wait lol. Priceless.
07 May 2018 18:11:21
Got to love our supporters we love to build ourselves up with false good sources like all the top managers, star players and extra financial deals coming into our famous club only for DK to bring us all back down to earth. By asking the down beaten supporters to put the extra money by buying shares.
07 May 2018 16:10:39
Im sure there was someone on here saying that 50m was coming from murray, or was it al faray or something like that. How dissapointing man.
07 May 2018 16:42:59
Exactly. I know it’s a rumours site, but some of it is laughable. Says the guy that works in my chippy and swears he’s Elvis
07 May 2018 15:54:04
Looking foward to next seasons i think we realisticly need 8 or 9 good players
To many of our players go missing in big games or when things are not going well in match they just stop trying and shirk away from there responsibility.
This talk of only needing only 4 5 players is rubbish if u look at who is likley to leave in the summer and the squad players we have that are not up to scratch we will need more than this.
The only way we should really be signing loan players is if there going to be automatic picks in our team due to there abilty and are better than what we have.
We should really be signing players who we then can sell on for profit and then reinvest
07 May 2018 16:34:20
If we lose 10 players we will still have a first team pool of 18 (that's how much rubbish is around the place) and if we added five with genuine ability and promote a couple of younger players, that will be about right.
Foderingham Miller Goss Martin Cummings Hererra Pena Cardoso Hodson at least are all on their way out.
07 May 2018 16:34:26
Also looking forward to the future. sell Morelos Windass and Fod while stocks are high and reinvest. As you said we need to be a selling club while reinvesting to become stronger. Only real way of making any kind of money in Scotland.
THIS IS NOT ENGLAND!
07 May 2018 17:21:03
Burnbank based on what i have seen from these players this season and your list above i would add halliday holt morelos windass tavenier posibly murphy and dorrans aswell
As there not consistent enough
and some off them we could raise funds for to reinvest in players who are better this is only for us to get stronger.
i would say keep alnwick mccorie john jack docherty goss candelias cummings some will be squad players that's 8 players
Not sure about murphy dorrans rossiter
would look to sell morelos tav fod windass cardoso herrra alves wallace should be getting a combined fee of 12 to 15 mill for them plus freeing a lot on wages for us to reinvest.
So this is how i come to my conclusion that we need 8 or 9 players
07 May 2018 17:35:45
Think about this ---- would SG be our manager if sufficient funds, IN HIS ESTIMATION, were not forthcoming?
No Funds ---- No SG ----- how simple is that fans?
07 May 2018 17:39:02
Can't do anything with Murphy and Cummings apart from buying them for next season and don't think Gerrard will want to use about 2m of his budget on them but might be wrong
07 May 2018 17:40:25
While I agree with some of your post, Craig, no club could seriously make those wholesale changes in one window and be left with just eight players, it's totally unrealistic. If you add Bates to those I mentioned that will indeed be ten out, and others who may not have set the heather on fire yet will be given the opportunity to prove themselves to Gerrard. I don't expect Alves or Wallace to last past January when the second part of the cull will come, but if Gerrard procures two central defenders, a solid tackling midfielder and two strikers to rebuild the spine of the team, the personnel we have left call fill in around that and we will have a solid unit.
07 May 2018 18:20:05
Burnbank if we do not cut a lot of these players loose then come next summer we will in same postion in the leauge as this year.
Am prity sure some clubs have made these kind of culls to there squads before.
we could use the likes ross lyon aidan wilson rudden burt middleton atakyi dalas 7 in total as backup am sure they could do better than our current backup players plus save us on wages therefor giving us more funds to use for key players.
To many of our current stars underperform on a regular basis to be in this team next year
07 May 2018 19:13:04
Players out
Fod
Hodson
Martin
Cardoso
Goss
Haliday
Holt
Ohalleren
Dodoo
Pena
Windass
Miller
Herrera
Cummings
Moralos if decent money.
I'd keep
Anwick number 2
Tav
John and Wallace
Alves
Mcorie
Dorrens
Docerty
Jack
Candidas
Murphy if sensible money
Rossiter
So to me we need around 11/ 12 new players
1 1st choice keeper
3centre backs
Back up right back
Two wingers to push Murphy and candidas
1 quality attacking midfielder
Two other midfielders
2 decent strikers
07 May 2018 19:50:32
Not far away deanobear. I'd like to see at least two boys moved from youths as squad players I'd get rid Alves, as not value based on wages
07 May 2018 15:23:46
after all these rumours and people knowing this and that. a share issue. 6 million. is that it. how dispapointing. surely to god they can find someone in china, saudi, russia or america to sink some money in. real money. 6 million may have been enough to rebuild steve austin. but it sure as hell won't be enough to rebuild glasgow rangers
07 May 2018 16:12:58
It's feck in beer money am sure Timaloy will be back on laughing his head off at us again am definitely no renewing now feck that
07 May 2018 16:22:57
Rangers have been rebuilt off the pitch now we have to rebuild on the pitch again. Time for Allen to prove his worth (mind Pedro's signing were nothing to do with Allen. Docherty and John are the only transfers that are permanent that Allen has been involved with. The rest has been loans
07 May 2018 17:24:39
To those that disagree can you name any permanent transfers other than Docherty and John?
Think we did the right thing in only bringing in loans in January apart from those two saved us money. try before you buy worked with John could work with Murphy if Gerrard fancies him
07 May 2018 15:21:13
I suppose 6mill share issue. Season ticket money and any funds we get from players sales will generate a decent transfer kitty.
Where are all the clowns who have been on lately telling us what their sources have told them or what a former player has told them. Was a bit pis*ed off earlier when this came out but onwards n upwards and time to get behind the team. We are in pole position for 2nd place, so let's get this over the line and look forward to next season.
07 May 2018 15:59:16
And please explain how you think you are in pole position for 2nd place? Last I checked you were a point behind aberdeen!
07 May 2018 16:07:42
Why could Dave King not just told us this news at the Gerrard presser.
07 May 2018 16:41:16
Well mr Smithers. We are in control of our own destiny. We play Aberdeen tomorrow night. A victory against them puts us 2 in front only needing a point against Hibs to secure second place because of the goal difference. Why don’t you go onto your own teams site. It’s all about the gers with you lot.
07 May 2018 16:47:17
Smithers win our last 2 games and we are 2nd regardless of other results, quite simple tbh
07 May 2018 17:32:24
I was thinking the same thing Jaws, there’s surely got to be more to this I mean £6million we’ll be lucky to have much left by the time we pay off the Mexicans, but I also think Gerrard would never have took the job unless there’s a decent kitty for new players, suppose time will tell
07 May 2018 15:16:27
Funds will be available for Gerrard, that’s for sure.
The £6m share option is a PR job nothing more. There is no way publicly that external funding will be divulged at this time.
Clubs know our position and if you let the world know what you have, inflated prices are what’s quoted.
With the new management coming in on June 1st, agents of players will be swarming with offers, as players will be looking to be part of Gerrard’s regime.
Change is coming bears and things will move in a positive direction, once again.
Stay loyal
07 May 2018 15:38:48
Very good and accurate post Jardine72!After scrutinising everything carefully and thoroughly, i'm totally with you here mate! Of course gerrard will have a very decent budget to spend net, on new players! When you think logically, it is totally pie in the sky to think that any scottish club, would spend 15-20million quid, on new players! Those days are gone and anyone who thinks otherwise are completely off their heads! Realistic is the key here, fellow bears! Steven Gerrard is happy by what he was told and that'll do for me! Gerrard is a very astute and clever individual, who wouldn't be fooled by anyone!
07 May 2018 15:39:27
Deluded gullible or plain crazy with that statement Jardine
07 May 2018 15:42:07
Will some of that 6 million be used to repay our loan from Close Brothers?
07 May 2018 15:50:11
Gordo87
Hardly gullible, it’s only common sense. Why divulge your capital and have silly figures quoted.
I’m sure Gerrard is a very astute individual and will be privy too more than you and I.
£6m is a decent figure too start with.
Few in on frees, that’s ideal to be used on wages and then proceed by backing the manager, with what’s left and what can be added.
I’ll leave the delusion to those that quote £20/ 30/ 50m I’ll stick to facts
07 May 2018 17:25:40
Gerrards faviourte cheese quoted by him is melted he's not smart at all probaly feed lie lies and more lies off king
07 May 2018 18:21:21
Goalie asked a good question, will some of the £6m share issue pay off close brothers? I am sure we'll spend money this summer, just hope its better spent than last summer.
07 May 2018 15:12:56
If all I'm reading the now is true King Con has done it again and us looking to shaft the fans one more time I'm pure raging inside so I am, if it's true why did Gerard decide to come to us!
07 May 2018 15:32:22
Bongo grow up . King and the 3 bears have stabilized our club off field in 3 years but now is the time to fix the club on field. keep believing our time has come
07 May 2018 15:34:37
if what's true bongo? that money is being raised? yes may not be what some were saying and please tell why you think we have been conned? at no point did dave king say that there was huge amounts coming in? he has shafted the fans? how? the only ones that shafted this club was whyte green and co . i'm sick of people saying that we are being conned by dave king and co? in my opinion the only ones conning anyone are some of our so called players who are pretenders to the jersey!
07 May 2018 15:39:59
Gerrard obviously liked what he was told Bongo!
07 May 2018 15:44:47
How have you been conned? Where and when did King come out and say there will be 25, 30 or 50 million of investment from China, Canada or America? He didn’t, only all the ‘ive got a mate’ folk on here and social media came out with all that crap. He stated there would be funds made available. So let’s break it down shall we. The share issue will turn the soft loans into shares, effectively ‘clearing the debt’ and hopefully generate a further 6 million. The Hummel deal is worth about £10million, over 3 million a year for the next 3 years. The season ticket money will generate between 10 and 12 million. We’ll get about £2million for finishing (hopefully) 2nd or third. Add to that anything from potential player sales (a lot will be leaving but I know they won’t generate that much) and anything further from add hock sponsorships and you could be talking anywhere between £20 to £25 million. Now before everyone starts getting too excited that will be for player purchases AND wages so no we won’t be signing 5 or 6 players at around 5 million each. It was stated on Friday we will probably bring in 6 or 7 players, if we manage to move on more of the dross I’d imagine that number may increase. I wish everyone on here would get there head out the clouds and come back to the real world. I very much doubt that some money fairy is going to come along and plop £50 million in our lap with no realistic way of getting it back. Remember the club is a business as well.
07 May 2018 18:25:29
Ger78 is correct. Spend what we can afford, no more soft loans. A potentially good manager, lots of decent players available this summer. Plenty to be hopeful and look forward too
07 May 2018 14:55:54
Football is a business, why would anybody put in with no chance of a return. It may happen at other clubs where the investor gets a tidy dividend every year but not us.
07 May 2018 14:46:44
Wish everyone would stop saying 6 mil is that it not once has King said that's all that will be available he said he's hoping to raise 6 million through a share issue he didn't say that's what the budget will be we didn't have a share issue and we still managed to back Pedro in the transfer market so let's see what happens in the summer so much doom and gloom in here.
07 May 2018 14:38:54
If king ect are not curently talking to external investers like he says this morning then i only hope that they plan to do so soon.
6 million pound threw a share issue is not a lot of money so we going need to raise funds from other places to give gerrard his transfer warchest.
i read the other day king thinks we only need 5 or 6 players saying we where the best team in scotland just after jan if he thinks we only need 5 or 6 players than that is a big mistake on his part we need a lot more than that amount the players recent performances have proving this.
07 May 2018 15:00:49
Why do you think we need more than 6 players? People seem to be getting carried away with this celtic team. Their centre halves are brutal, their right backs are brutal, left back is decent, wingers are no better than average and it looks like Sinclair and Roberts will be away. Brown, ntscham and mcgregor are average at best, rogic and the three strikers arw good but there's talk of rogic leaving, dembele will likely be gone and edourd is on loan.
They also have a summer of rebuilding on the cards and i can't see them replacing the players that will leave with better players unless its more loans as they won't spend £6m or £7m x 4 or 5 players.
We need two good centre halves. We need a strong central midfielder and Arfield and we need a 25 goal a season striker and hopefully Murphy deal made permanent. that's 6. If we bring in that along with maybe 2 or 3 loan guy's to bulk up the squad whilst getting rid of some deadwood we will be much closer.
07 May 2018 14:38:38
Upset and frustrated about all that garbage that was talked about new investors
07 May 2018 15:50:41
Liverangers, i understand you being upset, i'm just fed up. By that i mean reading the posts which promise us we're getting investment from, David Murray, America and China and " Youve heard it here first " To all those who post this information- Have a look at yourselves!
07 May 2018 14:30:32
Time for king to go. The guys obviously got no money and can't be trusted anymore. Can't belive that Gerrard has actually fallen for the rubbish that king must have told him.
07 May 2018 14:42:27
Totally agree King has had his chance we need a major investment to compete with Celtic and the only man that had the money was mike ashley love him or loathe him if he was running our club then there would be money available but then ashley isn’t a rangers man dave King is and as far as the rangers fans are concerned they would rather have him in charge so things will never change because King has no money to invest in the team also before folk start going on about mike ashley strangling the club just look at the other members on the board who have put money in its all just loans they want that money back one way or the other
07 May 2018 14:48:23
the fact we are not in talks with anybody regarding external finance makes it clear that apointing gerrard was about getting us the fans excited and to part with season ticket money.
The fact also paul murray and and barry scott left is a bit worryiny it is not as if someone has been lined up to take there place on the board.
Can see this summer window been a lot of free and loan players once again.
07 May 2018 14:59:09
Get a grip everyone!
How do you know what the transfer budget is?
Did he actually say Gerrard was only getting £6 million?
No!
Why would King say we have £10,£20 or £30 million to spend?
That would just be showing that lot at breezeblock mansion our hand.
Keep the heed!

mike ashley really? in case you didn't notice he was running our club running it into the effin ground . if he was still around rangers would be no more! we would have lost or stadium lost our identity and probably lost the very heart of rangers and by that i mean the supporters get a grip we have a new manager we have more investment we will have money from merchandise if the fat mant was here it would all be in his effin fat wallet . i can't believe anyone would want that?
07 May 2018 14:30:16
To those of you who repeatedly call for a new board, Dave King to be dumped and who continuously cling to the hope that there is another big investor waiting in the wings.
Get real! Our board are far from perfect, they don't have £billions but they have put their hands in their own pockets to keep the club on the upwards path.
The job they are doing is steady and inline with the 5 year plan that was outlined - we may be ahead or behind the plan but the time to be judgmental is at the end of the plan.
Get behind the club because living is dreamland and slagging off every poor performance does not help RFC.
07 May 2018 14:46:10
Well said DK17 some fans don't get that we have to live within our means. first we need to run the club right with no losses
07 May 2018 14:29:29
Stevie G come join Rangers we have 6m for a share issue, but that's to pay off existing dedt in way of shares.
we hope to sell 50,000 season tickets at about £500each =25m to run the club for a season, mind my first class tickets from joberg and back six time a year.
today was a joke, king would have better just doing a press statement.
take THE BUDS OUT THE FRIDGE . GUTTED.
07 May 2018 14:28:24
Maybe now people will stop getting carried away with all the nonsense. Its not even rumours its just pure bulls**t. don't ever expect or hope for to much from our board as it will save you on the let down.
07 May 2018 14:40:17
Your spot on F. W. W.
People are venting at King on here because the absolute nonsense that was being posted on here never came to fruition.
Get a grip, Gerrard will have money to build his own squad but of course it's not going to be 15/ 30 million.
07 May 2018 14:17:36
What i don't understand is why would Gerard take the job if he is working under the same constraints has previous managers i understand Pedro wasted a lot of money but we simply can't compete with Celtic without substantial investment.
07 May 2018 14:25:13
But we have competed with Celtic. Two bad results against them but the 3-2 match should have been ours. all confidence was lost after that match.
We need some steel, confidence, fight and 4 or 5 new players. Then we have a team that will compete with some improved leadership and tactical nous.
We lost too many points against the smaller teams - sort than and we would have been be close this season
07 May 2018 13:59:31
So, who wants to step up first and admit they just make things up. Honestly, some of the nonsense spouted here is beyond belief. Let's be having you then. 🙄.
07 May 2018 13:47:16
FFS! 6m from a share issue no external investment I cannot believe gerrard came up here for that investment no where near enough and it's dependent on the success of the share issue
What boot in the plums again!
07 May 2018 13:57:22
All you guys on here with your sources, away and boil your heeds. Got my hopes up listening to all this nonsense about investment coming in. 😤
07 May 2018 13:59:42
Who exactly booted you in the plums? The board never at any time promised, or even hinted at, anything else.
07 May 2018 14:01:25
What a bummer, bin waiting all weekend for this crap, got to get king out, we need a. Mcoll, Kennedy or even Murray and thought something was happening with a drinks company, more pie in the sky
07 May 2018 14:07:48
Well gerrard must have been given assurances about something, because he would have realised long before talks took place that with the best will in the world he wouldn't be challenging for the title with most of the current squad, no matter how good his coaching/ tactics are going to be!
07 May 2018 14:20:10
It could be one of two things. If there is money in the background for transfer kitty the club will not want a selling club how much it is cause the players value would jump up that we would want. On the other hand if all we can raise is 6 mill through share issue its second we will be playing for again I'm afraid.
07 May 2018 13:44:34
Ah well the usual the fan's have to dig deep as there is no external investment at this time and they won't be as long as king is there Stevie G will be working with one hand tied behind his back .
07 May 2018 13:40:46
£6 million, £6 effing million from share issue?
If that is it then it will be a long summer guys.
07 May 2018 14:11:53
I must say, I am thoroughly disappointed with todays news. But with a few good free transfers, we will can be a winning squad. In Gerrard We Trust.
07 May 2018 13:33:20
6million share issue big deal knew talk of fresh investment was rubbish.
07 May 2018 13:32:56
A Share issue for a poxy 6 million top line. I'm sorry Dave that isn't going to cut it. We need serious investment in our squad to give us a chance to catch Celtic. I pray to god DK you have other money up your sleeve, would be disappointed if SG was coming here with a kitty based on the share issue. Sadly had my hopes raised today for a wealthy investor and again have had my hopes dashed by the board.
07 May 2018 14:01:23
How did the board dash your hopes? What did they tell you to raise your hopes that they didn't tell anybody elase?
07 May 2018 14:20:44
99% of fans on here are gutted at this news. All the chat was about big investment to give SG a chance to catch Celtic and now we have been let down AGAIN
07 May 2018 14:33:49
The board had no need to call a press meeting today, this was deliberately done on Friday to fool supporters into thinking that they were about to announce something big when they could have told the gathered press last week that there was no investment and they were talking to no one but chose to call a briefing today, this was to allow the fans to get excited about what might be off the back of the Gerrard appointment and renew season tickets before turning up Monday and saying “oh it was nothing important”, “nothing to see here”, “move along”, “don’t forget to buy your season books as we really need the money “. Total nonsense.
07 May 2018 13:31:12
so the presser isn't about external funds etc. aiming to raise 6m through new share issue. q all the king haters back out in force.
07 May 2018 13:23:53
Heard on the news there is no new investment or investors or did I pick that up wrong
07 May 2018 13:20:06
I hope the below was not the news we were waiting on! If so i'm gutted.

@STVRaman
Dave King held a media briefing a short time ago. £6 million to be raised via a share issue next month. As things stand, no external investment coming into club. More on our website soon.
07 May 2018 13:04:45
Am I hearing correctly . £6 f**king million?
07 May 2018 10:33:12
David Murray only sold to the club who he thought was the best suitor and that’s when problems started! I’m all in for having him back we need the glory days back and if he wants to correct his wrongs for leaving it the way he did then let him because there’s no many more people who will invest in a rangers team now a days. And for the people saying they won’t return if he comes back your just as bad as the rest of them it’s just pety and stubborn. I’ll take the invest from whoever wants to push our team forward and I’ll Back the owners, I’ll back the manager and the team and we will be be right where we want to be again! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
07 May 2018 11:33:46
David Murray would have sold to absolutely anyone
As long as he was ok
An absolute charlatan of a man
07 May 2018 12:02:21
Actually Murray was forced into the sale due his massive debt to Lloyds, he was in no position to argue with them and at the time (bar the big tax case) we were in a reasonable position roundly bringing down the debt and being successful on the pitch too.
Hard to be angry at Murray personally his empire was floundering and Rangers were a small part of that.
07 May 2018 12:10:50
When Murray sold Rangers I can assure you that it was in the best interest of Rangers not himself.
07 May 2018 06:29:12
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 7th May 2018
07 May 2018 01:20:29
At work tonight and read Michael Gannon in the Record online? He has wrote a colum saying Scottish football can survive without a strong Gers and did so when we were in the lower leagues? These comments were obviously made as we have appointed Stevie G as our new Manager and he doesn't like it at all! Over the last few days we as a club have been all over the Uk press for the first time since Gazza joined our wonderful club and most guys south of the border are saying they can't wait to watch the competition up here next year and surely puts the Scottish leagues in a great position for sponsors and Tv deal!
The amount of bitterness being thrown about by Suiton, Brazil, Keevans and Gannon etc towards the club about our Manager is laughable🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.
07 May 2018 07:22:01
We're always celtic favourite subject it's a tad embarassing
07 May 2018 08:29:47
Exactly the powers are already sniffing around using Stevie G to get a better TV deal.
Everyone is quick to mention the debt we left and how bad we are but they are all happy to put their hand out and take the extra cash we bring in.
Whether is from TV or our amazing away support every couple of weeks.
07 May 2018 09:40:55
add Ewan Murray of the Guardian to that list.
His purported pseudo intellectual crap anti-Rangers stuff (stuff not journalism) anywhere.
Google anything he has written over the last few months
07 May 2018 10:43:49
Yately REALLY 1st time all over the UK press since gazza signed. Did you not check any UK newspapers in 2012.
Short time memory loss on here.
07 May 2018 11:13:16
Yately,
Who gives any notice to gammon et al
Let's focus and support our club
Remember they need to keep in a job.
Let them say what they need to say and don't take any notice.
07 May 2018 11:17:21
Back on again Not a rumour? Stevie G really is annoying you eh😭😭😭Brilliant 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
07 May 2018 12:00:58
Why would Steve g annoy me. I think it's a great appointment but I don't only see things 1 way. But again if you put w a t p after your post or 2 wee union jacks then everything is fine.
Maybe everyone should wait to see how it actually goes as Warburton was tipped for England job. Pedro was signing European winner and top class Mexicans. Murty was going to win the league 8 weeks ago.
