A lot of the info regarding the collapse of Rangers has come from the "Celtic minded" fraternity, so I was hoping there might be some merit in hearing the angle of a Falkirk supporting academic.
That sounds very interesting although a bit far for me to attend. I think almost all fans of other clubs observed the goings-on with a huge amount of distaste and find it difficult, if not impossible, to be dispassionate; but as the chap is an academic he will probably produce some difficult conclusions for most of us.
One of these is if he tries to separate the club from the company as I'd always lumped the two together. Up until Murray put them on the market, the directors were, to my knowledge, all Rangers supporters so inextricably linked to the club and after they were sold they were not, just 'suits' in to pillage the club as fast as possible. However, as we all know, the financial problems had started many years before when Murray was looking for ways to pay for his excessive spending to try and keep up with Celtc.
I look forward to hearing what Mr. Howieson says but I hope he confirms many of our suspicions.
Just saw they had a display that said "let me tell you a story of honour and glory"
Not a hint of irony
I'm not a qualified accountant, but in their accounts it says an operating loss for the year to 30 June 2022 of just under £1m. So where does the £5.9m profit come from :confused:

They have been making losses for 10 years I was surprised that was the only debt they owe anyone haha i thought it would have been in the tens of millions.
No, it says an operating profit of just under £5.9m which is the profit before one-off costs (the note suggests that’s legal costs), finance costs (so interest etc.) and tax. Taking those three things into account, the loss after tax, one-off costs and finance costs is just under £1m.
According to this, still owe £78m to investors

To answer the earlier questions about profit/loss,they have included the £11m (?) from Everton for Patterson when arriving at the headline profit.
After the season end , they also sold Aribo and Bassey.
I haven't looked at the accounts in detail, but what I have seen suggests that they need to sell to keep afloat.....
... just like most clubs:))
Just when you think it's all gone away...
