SamP Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 1 minute ago, Fairbairn said: If you look at the games between the sides since Beale came in there's not been much between them and you could argue that Rangers could/should have won a couple of them. The main problem seems to be the mentality and we've made far too many stupid mistakes in every one of those games and Celtic are currently too good a team to consistently give that kind of opportunity to as they've shown every time they've got players who will punish you. It's happening far too many times to be accepted. A big portion of that squad have won 2 trophies out of the last 15 on offer (I'm counting from when Gerrard came in) and being honest haven't really looked like getting close to the other 13, it's not as if we've been taking Celtic to the closing stages of the league campaign or losing multiple cup finals. If that's not an indication that significant changes are needed I'm not sure what is. Aye. It is the mentality issue for sure. Also sure that Michael Beale knows that as well. When Morelos arrived everyone thought he was the bees knees. But his mentality was only for himself and not his club. I think Kent might be the same. That doesn't spread confidence in your team mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanderark14 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Rangers off to court over the cinch deal again. Not sure why this time but my guess is it's been a while since they went to court and they've been missing the attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's something to do with the SPFL not fulfilling their obligations (issuing and apology and paying legal fees after losing) from the outcome of the last case.

Think it was something like £30M for all the work to get it to 60K. Can maybe see it being done partially to go up to around 54-56K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did Rangers or Celtic for that matter manage to rebuild both stadiums? Rangers and almost every business I know work on overdraft and bank/investor loans. So it is do able. To lose revenue from an extra 15000 fans with all that comes with it apart from season ticket sales. Food etc etc. Any investor would invest in that. The business is already guaranteed which is unlike many other business investments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted we’re in a much better state now but it’s a big leap to go from there to being able to finance a significant stadium redevelopment. I hope I’m wrong as we need to bridge the gap to Celtic in as many ways as possible, and an extra 10K through the doors every fortnight will help, but I just don’t see it being possible any time soon.

Rangers rebuilt the Copland Road, the Broomloan and the entire stadium. Putting an extra 10000 seats to fill the corners will be quite expensive. But the money from the extra revenue will be a good return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
