ShedTA Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 20 minutes ago, thewolf_1980 said: To answer both at the same time... the truth is, I don't know what's going on with the retail deal though I suspect at present, not very much. For obvious reasons, RFC are unable to discuss the contractual details in the public domain so the status quo is maintained at present pending the next court case. We have served notice of our intention to cancel the contract so the 7 years notice period has kicked in but that’s hardly going to make any difference to our P/L accounts any time soon. What I would say is that we are trading whilst fully conversant of this contract so it ‘merely’ restricts our budgets. We aren’t trading on the basis of an enhanced income any time soon. It is certainly not a sustainable business model but it falls under the “speculate to accumulate” risk that I noted above and the business plan will be devised on the basis that 2nd place and European football is a minimum requirement (the latter more important than the former, most likely, given the difference in potential financial benefits). I suspect season ticket prices will increase again (5-10% or thereby probably) and revenue streams will increase if this season’s targets are met. The daylight I see is that we are on track (albeit far from certain) of achieving the European football that we require to enhance profitability (or loss mitigation) for the coming seasons. This season was always going to be transitional in our first season back in the Premiership. Come back to me this time next year and I’ll let you know if I’m still satisfied though… one point wolfy - how do you see the FFP rules affecting your Europa chances? do you think the board would very quickly find a way of converting some of the loans to equity to avoid?

Fairbairn Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 1 minute ago, ShedTA said: still a few million for a club rangers size though if they get a number of games. Indeed. 3 home games (if we were to get to the third qualifying round) at 40 quid a ticket x an average 40,000 fans is £4.8M in the bank before costs. If we get to the playoff round that's another £3.2M before any prize money is factored in. All of that is speculation of course as we could just as easily get pumped out in the first round (or not qualify of course!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope they next AGM would allow that to happen. They narrowly lost out on the share issue vote last time round which would have allowed those that are providing the current soft loans (King, Gilligan etc) to convert to equity. There were some high profile shareholders who didn't vote that time round (McCoist) who if they had went with the board would have swayed the vote so I'd like to think work has been going on behind the scenes to get them onside.

Rangers would need to win 4 games to reach the group stage. (I'd hazard a guess that figure is boosted as they got to the play off round of the champions league, but may be wrong.)

Indeed and the 3rd of those games in Aberdeen's case have been vs Real Sociedad, Kairat Almaty and Maribor. All teams with bigger budgets than ever team in Scotland, except Celtic.

I'm ambivalent about this one. He used to be a really important player for us but he's reduced in importance and stagnated. Hopefully the move and regular first team football will help him develop in to the player i think he can be. Best of luck to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

min Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Disappointed that Pawlett's away. With McGinn almost certain to leave, thought Pawlett could fill that gap and become a regular again next season and beyond. His best years are ahead of him - good luck!

RenfrewBlue Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Just seen an online rumour linking Rangers with Darren Fletcher for next season. Can't see it, as he must be on a very healthy wage at West Brom, but he'd certainly be a major improvement for us if we did manage to get him.

Could do well with concentrating closer to home for next season. There are plenty good players that could come in to help move us forward from the summer, hopefully with a decent run in Europe to get in a few pennies.

Donaldo87 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Also based on http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk i'd like to exclusively reveal two more deals expected to happen this summer. Rangers are said to be in talks with Charlie Adam and Phil Bardsley on a possible return to the SPFL Giants. Both players are out of contract in the summer and sources close to the players understand they are keen to finish their careers in Scotland.
