hahahahahahah that was a good one wasn't it.
Before Sunday, I felt this Rangers team needed tens of millions thrown at it to have a chance of competing against Celtic. After seeing the performance, it could be £100m.
If you brought in ten players on 15 to 20 grand a week for the next three years, including transfer fees, that could gobble up £70m. But that's the kind of investment that's now needed.
Can't be that far off over the 10 years to be fair factoring in transfer fees and wages.
i thought it was hartson that said we need 70m on playersCan't be that far off over the 10 years to be fair factoring in transfer fees and wages.
That was Commons that said that, wasn’t it? Sure Hartson said similar.
He's missing a big bit of his brain so I try not to be mean to him and his views.i thought it was hartson that said we need 70m on players
There's been a massive uptake in wages and fees in the last few years under Gerrard. I am not saying it's exactly right I just don't see it being that far off.They were saying it as late as 2 years ago though.
Well Tavernier aside Warburton and his £200,000 and free transfer dream team clearly didn't cut it and neither did Pedro's Mexican and Portuguese guys that took around £10 million in fees to scrape together. When you see what we got from Warburton and his £2 million on Garner it's no surprise they didn't want to back him more and likewise Pedro and the Mexicans. Factor in wages for all of them over the years and the huge increases in wages that some have merited it's probably quite close.If you add up how much our board and other investors have put in we won't be far away from that.
Huge thank you to them all
Exactly. I get annoyed all the time on here at trying to contextualise where we've been and how quickly we've been getting better. Thankfully it's now evident in the league and Europe for the hard of thinking.The job Gerrard and the recruitment team has been truly phenomenal. From the team he inherited only 3 players remain (Jack, Morelos and Tav). So in just 2 and a bit years he has had to complete overhaul our playing squad and coaching staff. He has spent around around 31.5-33 million on the squad (and a million of that was on Murphy who was already signed). To spend less than Celtic have since Lennon returned, who only had to fill gaps. Shows how amazing (and how poor their) our recruitment has been. We've shot past them despite spending less and having no real base to build on. We've had only one decent money failure in Grezda, they make atleast 3/4 a season. Yes we've had a couple of poor signings but outside of Grezda none of them have really cost us any money. That is going to happen when you have to rebuild an entire squad in a few windows, on a small budget but our hit to miss ratio is outstanding.
I can't emphasize this enough we have just 3 players left from a squad from a little over 2 years ago. It's cost us just 33 million to build a squad worth north of 100 million. Truly outstanding!

Rangers will need to invest £100m to catch up with Celtic

Absolutely, the ability to spot a player who can be improved, and build a team with, through good coaching has been most impressive.

Well that is a good point. What it should say is Rangers needs to spend x amount and spend it well. Having a jake in charge who doesn't review analytical reports can't help matters.Haven’t they spent more than us over the last 3 years ?
The differential should still be the same if so ?

Tbh, he wasn’t far off.At the start of our issues, I had one of theirs fans say to me that we would never win the league again, by the time we climbed the leagues, they would have hundreds of millions in the bank, and that would ensure we couldn't compete. No reasoning with them. They show no understanding of how teams and squads change.
Their attitude is one that is stuck in the past. They live in the past, as a support and as a club.
Some of them still believe they have the better players and better squad.
About a week or two ago, Gordon Parks claimed only 2-3 of our players would get in their SQUAD.
Great find mate - delicious reading now, especially the comments about us kissing goodbye to such amazing talent as Bates, Wilson and McKay. If you ever want to see how thick a pundit can be, read this garbage. What Kris missed - instead of buying a 15m player you get one for 50, or 200 grand and coach him. Will be printing and saving this one - more please!Rangers will need to invest £100m to catch up with Celtic

Your not wrong keevins went a bit further this rangers are 100 million behind and ceptic could win 16-17 in a row.I thought Keevins said 70m.
Might be wrong.

Think this was when he loved telling us when asked about his score predictions when we played them. It will be whatever ceptic want it to be.
Not so confident now shug ... we are gonna take your fabled 10 and when you visit Ibrox it's gonna be what Rangers want ...
Lets hope we finally do. At least 4-0. We should have absolutely smashed them at the chamber in the first game but seemed to settle at 2-0 and just stay in control.Im trying to keep calm Feegie but I can’t wait to get them at Ibrox.
I really feel we can get a few goals.

revenge is a must.

Rangers must have borrowed Dr Who’s Tardis because didn’t Sutton say Rangers were light years away from competing with Celtici thought it was hartson that said we need 70m on players
No truer words spoke.Yeah it was 100m. Lets not get ahead of ourselves yet, we are in form and they are not.
We are catching them but until that title is won and then we have not caught them. Still 23 games to go.
We kicked it all off with a 50k bid for Kamara and seem to be doing well.Can't be that far off over the 10 years to be fair factoring in transfer fees and wages.
That was his point and it is what we did.

They've spent around 46m in the last 3 years. Of that you can probably say Edouard and julien have been some sort of success. That's about 28-30m on players that either have been terrible or have been inefective so far. That's just for fees, factor in wages too and you can see their signing policy has been shocking.Haven’t they spent more than us over the last 3 years ?
