Seems some of the supporters are revolting.......

The Glib and Shameless Liar has more s***e inside him than a Christmas goose......
All will be unveiled on Friday ,including new Manager and his plans for complete restructuring of the Club similar to what Dempster did when she came in to us .
So wil wait to see what actually Transpires then and who they appoint to key positions and how he states he is going to fund rebuilding the squad .
He promised Transparency ,:rolleyes:so the Fans will want answers before they start snapping up Season Tickets again for another year in the Championship

Apparently he was disappointed by the fine but delighted with the 3 points.Quote:

They've stumped up 2 (or is it 3) emergency loans of £1.5 mill each. As these are loans, they'll presumably be getting it back.
Is that going to be it as regards, putting the money in?
What happened to the promises of £50/£30/£20 million investment he was going to make?
Dave King and the £50 mill investment promise
And if they bring in a decent manager and he brings in his own assistants and back room team there will be £2m less to spend on players. They'll then start recruiting new players who'll be asking for twice what they are really worth. It's not looking great for them.Quote:

Their failure to achieve that has impacted on their potential to hire a top manager & their ability to sell season tickets with all the knock on effects those failures bring. DK is now desperately launching his version of a Ponzi scheme, moving money around to provide an appearance of wealth without actually spending any of his own money. I think Friday will see more desperate pleas for cash & very few specific details.
PS, I note DK's still getting an easy ride in the DR, shades of Whyte & Green. I look forward to their volte face before too long!
Will be interesting to see how many of them buy into King's new era for the club. The DR is back in cheerleader mode but other members of the MSM being a bit more cautious - Tom English at the BBC is definitely sceptical.Quote:

Nothing will shift tickets like exciting new signings, but so far there's nothing.

Could be The Rangers £5 million MA loan was from Newcastle sponsors WONGA. Borrow £5 million and pay back £267 million ! Nice.Quote:

It's his stare authoritatively at the tax man face. That ended well.Quote:

I've been looking back at the interim accounts up to 31/12/14 and doing some basic calculations. They had revenue of £13.1m and expenditure of £16.1m so a trading loss of £3m, but that was in a period in which they made £1m from the Commonwealth Games and a Scotland international, so I reckon that if they maintained their current level of income and spending they'd be looking at an £8m loss for next season.
However, King's talking about raising player spend to £12m from I believe about £6m. To counter that he wants 45,000 season tickets sold - unlikely. The average gate up to 31/12/15 was 32,500 (it doesn't matter much over a season whether they pay on the day or have seasons) so if they got a 10,000 increase next season they'd increase income by about £4m. To me it looks as if his plan for next season needs at least £10m to cover losses before they even start building a scouting network or repairing the neglected buildings. I don't think it's going to happen.
Looking further forward, the plan is to run the club at a massive loss for 3 years after which it will suddenly break even, apparently by access to European income. Even if this somehow happened, they'd be back to the Oldco position - one Europa league qualifying defeat away from disaster.
By my rather simplistic calculations the cunning plan hasn't a chance. The action should start heating up after the EGM on Friday.

Re the bit in bold - if they buy seasons then they will still have paid even if they don't turn up on the day, and it allows them to budget (Ha!) if they have the money up front. I still agree their plan is rubbish.Quote:

Hopefully King can finish-off the sterling-work begun by Sir Craig Whyte and continued by Charles Green - two men to whom Scottish Football and society owe so much.
