We have never had mega bucks, we made a good bit of money in our run to the eufa final but the teams that got relegated from the premiership made more.

Sorry to appear rude to a guest such as yourself but what part of "being in the top 20 in the WORLD for revenue "do you not understand.The idea that clubs in the lower end of the EPL have more income is OF fantasy fed to gullible supporters by the sycophantic weegie press.Go and have a look at Deloittes football income lists for the past few years and have your eyes opened.

Personally think both the Old Firm teams would hold their own in the EPL which from middle down is choc full of pretty average but physically powerful teams. Just cant see it happening to be honest as why would the middle to bottom premiership teams and the middle to top Championship teams basically vote against their best interests. To suggest neither or them could do ok in England given their size, support and increased revenue is nonsense IMO.

Hi all, there isl oads of questions to anwser, mostly on manchester so i will try and keep it to this post, Im not happy with the so called fans who caused trouble in manchester, there was about 200,000 folk there MOST behaved themselfs, as someone said folk where pissing on the streets, I would say it was up allys behind trees ect the reason simple they was not enough toilets put out litter in the street, yes there was very few bins and it was left in the designated squares, granted at 11pm after the game the spuare was a tip but by 7am you would never have known we were there, at T in the park the site is still being cleared 3 weeks later, the trouble folk say was happening all day, I can't really comment i was in the square where it all kicked off up to 6pm before leaving for the game and did not see 1 bit of trouble untill i got to my hotel an seen the news.
Manchester will be a day I will remember for the rest of my life apart from the performance on the park it was a fantastic day for me and i won't let the thugs who caused bother take away my memorys.

Welcome to the board, you should get on quite well with a couple of guys on here who pretend to be Hibs fans but we have doubts about...




My first question for you is this. If I went on Follow Follow and had the user name 'green is the colour', how do you think the natives would react? I think I might give it a try.


Oh, one footnote, the term Hun was commonly used to refer to Germans long before anyone had ever heard of Nazis. My wife's a 'Hun', in that sense, and she certainly wouldn't like the (probably unintended) inference that she's a Nazi. Sticks and Stones though, eh.....

That would be like me coming on here with a username maroon is the colour, there is a hibs fan who posts on followfollow username john robbo beleive it or not and hamilton fans ect, as long as you go on and respect the rules it's not a problem, if you start the crap calling folk huns ect then you will get banned.

What about McArthur? Thought that was a done deal?

He wouldn't get in to the rangers team IMO, he is a really good hamilton player but most folk don't think he is any better than th likes of Charlie Adam (he is a good player by the way just not good enough for rangers.)

I find it seriously hard to believe that any Hibs fan would last more than a few posts on Follow Follow without being subjected to the usual guff.

I don't know how they go about making this list, but trust me rangers don't have money, would you be able to check what number rangers were on the list last season, at one stage there was talk of us going bust but im sure we where still above loads of the english teams on the list.

That's completely different from the revenue you bring in.

Like our maroon friends across the city, you have money coming in (and in your case, massive amounts) but unfortunately it gets pished up the wall on useless players from Lithuania (or Adam/Gow etc. in your case).

The reason Rangers are so far in debt is because you've been overspending against your income for years, and it's now coming home to roost.

That what ive said mate, hence the reason we can't buy players, the best chance we have got of bringing in a CB is if celtic go out of champs league tomorrow night and that gives us an extra 2 million which i would hope would go on players, we have got rid of a few earners Fergie, Hemdani ect so things should hopfully get better.

You should be able to copy and paste one of his posts on here then.

Athough there is not a lot of money from tv without rangers and celtic do you really think the tv company would give half the cash they are giving

If they did give just half the cash ...

... then it would be an improvement ...

... given that the OF take at least 60% of the current cash on offer!

Due to my technological ineptitude these are the most up to date figures I can find.

Season 2005/6 Rangers est. 88.5M euro-18th in list

2006/7 Place taken by Celtic 111.8M euro

attendances over a 4 year period Celtic 8th in Europe-Rangers 13th


If you google Deloittes football income list you may get more info.

You are kidding eh? Or do you really believe the huns are the most successful club in the world?

Regards success, remind us all how many European Cups youse have won when compared to other minnows such as liverpool, man u, barca, milan etc....closer to home, remind us when you last dominated the SPL regularly.

Deluded huns...priceless. for everything else, there is reality.

Believe they said that on Sky Sports during their game against PSG at the weekend. Based on trophies they are probably the most successful team in the world but they would probably prefer to have the cash and a few Champions League titles instead of all those domestic ones.

NO

I didn't say we have won the big european cup but we have won more cups than any other club in the world.

Sorry. There was me stupidly considering success in the real world where we all live I.e. winning things that are WORTH winning and therefore making you successful.

Let's turn that around then and ask the liverpools, man u's, barcas if they would prefer THEIR success instead of that odd branch of success that exists in govan but is ultimately worth bugger all.
