I agree with all you say but what I will say is that yes they have put money in, lots, but they wasted more than half of that on Mexican imports that nobody knew anything about. A whole year of rebuilding absolutely shat up the wall.‘Holding them to account’ is entirely fair and appropriate. Endless cries for ‘more money’ is not. They’ve dug deep and continue to do so. They’ve put a lot of cash in, some of it bought them shares (which may never increase in value) and some is still outstanding as soft loans. If there’s investors out there waiting to put money in then I’ve no doubt the Board will welcome them. I’m not seeing a queue though.
I’ve said endlessly we need to manage our way out of this. Making the right managerial appointments and the right signings is part of that process. They’ve made some dodgy decisions in that respect and get deserved criticism for it. Let’s not doubt their commitment to getting it right though and their desire to get us back where we belong, it’s just taking a bit longer than we all want.
Record amount of ST would probably say you are wrongAnd the Rangers board have some unhappy "customers"... I think you have only furthered some points made?
Record season tickets after our worst season ever, don't mistake loyalty for happiness RobertRecord amount of ST would probably say you are wrong
So what kind of Business do you run, you forgot to mention it.
Our Board and the 3 bears are very very successful in their' real' jobs

That wasn't my fault or your fault.
Indeed nobody is laying blame on us, More of a reply to the "happy customer" quip from Robert.Yup, my last para covered the managerial and signing ‘disappointments’, for which they are rightly criticised.
I simply get frustrated by the ‘magic money tree’ brigade mate. Passionate, no question, but decidedly unrealistic in their demands.
Don’t think anyone is laying any ‘fault’ at the feet of the fans though.

Loyalty and happiness are getting mixed up here. The board promised to inject enough money to have us challenging and so far it hasn't happened. It may have had Pedro been completely overlooked - but it hasn't... it's us paying to go every week to pay a team that seems to get worse and worse.. If we come through January with any 30y/o+ Englishmen, I think this board might just be unbearable
QWhy don't you inject £15 million or so, if you think it is that easyIndeed nobody is laying blame on us, More of a reply to the "happy customer" quip from Robert.

I will always be happy being a Rangers fan, came through their nine in a row season, been a SB / ST holder since 1971.Indeed nobody is laying blame on us, More of a reply to the "happy customer" quip from Robert.

Getting worse ? Do you go to games or just watch it on Sportscene ?Indeed nobody is laying blame on us, More of a reply to the "happy customer" quip from Robert.

You are acting like a kid.QWhy don't you inject £15 million or so, if you think it is that easy
We have more points than last year do we not, our run in Europe has drained the players and injuries in such a small squad has not helpedYou think we are getting worse? Can’t agree there. Forget the league table ,just make the judgement with your eyes and what we see on the pitch. This team are a million miles away from Pedro’s or Murty’s.
Nothing to do with sentiment, to do with the harsh realities of FinanceYou are acting like a kid.
The boards job isn't just to put money in, sponsorship, find investors etc.
I'm not sitting here demanding Dave king open ra warchest.
I could just sit and say imagine where we would be without them and bury my head in the sand.
Forever grateful to DK etc, however now is the time to put sentiment aside.
Getting worse ? Do you go to games or just watch it on Sportscene ?
You seem angry, I have no idea why. We have just been put out the cup by aberdeen, and we had 2 goes at it too, draws to Dundee and Killie
That's alright but cos we were pure shite in 2013 I guess?
We have gotten worse since the turn of the year, yes, I stick by that.
I can't have a conversation with you, constantly flippant.Nothing to do with sentiment, to do with the harsh realities of Finance
Who do you think is waiting in the wings to donate millions to a Club that is losing money and stuck in a League with such a Financial straight jacket
Can you name me 3 people ?, infact just name me one and i will phone and ask them
But the overall standard isn't good enough... I have no idea why anyone would say otherwise.Our points return in the league from our last 10 games is the same as the ten league games immediately preceding that - and three points better than in the first 10 league games of the season.
So name me a potential investor ? You can't, so let the Board get on with their jobI can't have a conversation with you, constantly flippant.
I'm always at the pub, drop in anytime and i will talk about Rangers until it gets dark and I have to go in for my teaI can't have a conversation with you, constantly flippant.
You gave up trying to tell us investors are out there, the Board just need to go and get themYou seem angry, I have no idea why. We have just been put out the cup by aberdeen, and we had 2 goes at it too, draws and losses to Dundee and Killie amongst others

It's alright I would rather speak to someone who's less of a diva.I'm always at the pub, drop in anytime and i will talk about Rangers until it gets dark and I have to go in for my tea
So why “speak” on here? Occasionally even Robert talks sense!It's alright I would rather speak to someone who's less of a diva.

I have only just found out that the sense he speaks comes at the cost of everything else being flippant pishSo why “speak” on here? Occasionally even Robert talks sense!
Maybe but I have to say that in this particular topic he is bang on.I have only just found out that the sense he speaks comes at the cost of everything else being flippant pish
Subjective though, isn't it?Maybe but I have to say that in this particular topic he is bang on.
My point is that there hasn’t been a honeymoon period - they are still paying for the divorceSubjective though, isn't it?
I'd say honeymoon period is over start of next season, but maybe that's just me.
Can we have a feedback please I don't see any answersIt was

A good analogy I'd say, but we wouldn't be paying for the divorce still if we hired someone suitable the first time roundMy point is that there hasn’t been a honeymoon period - they are still paying for the divorce

I take it you never went in the McCoist reignRecord season tickets after our worst season ever, don't mistake loyalty for happiness Robert
I did aye, when we had no money, a board full of gangsters and shysters.I take it you never went in the McCoist reign
Folk wanting us to spend £15m plus Morelos tranfer fee? How long is it going to take for people to get a reality check and come back to Earth?
Even if we sold Morelos and Tavernier, we still wouldn't be spending £15m on transfer fees.
So why don't you email SR and demand answers, He is a decent guy, he will probably invite you inI did aye, when we had no money, a board full of gangsters and shysters.
Now is not QUITE the same.
As I said, we can only peddle the "we were crap in 2013 so this is better" line for so long.
That doesn't count, he is cleverChrist who's being flippant now?
Have you checked up the meaning of flippant? You have it wrong.Christ who's being flippant now?
45,000 s/ticket holders pay £100 levy and it's £4.5m.
Of course not all can afford it be we need to be realistic and think of ways we can expand income streams.
Board are legends but not 'wealthy' in football terms and we must try and help them raise funds.
I told him you were cleverHave you checked up the meaning of flippant? You have it wrong.
I agree with you mate a don’t think this board have the finances available one way or another to win a league titleMy conclusion is that I don't expect them to put any more money in for much longer. They've kind of indicated that anyway. Hence my concern and why other avenues need to be looked at.
They certainly don't mate. That much is clear.I agree with you mate a don’t think this board have the finances available one way or another to win a league title

Fucknows pal isn’t ma job to find investmentIf that's the case then we will never win it again. Theres no profit to be made for future investors, so who is going to invest?
Fucknows pal isn’t ma job to find investment
I think it is a necessity that Alfredo goes to properly fund a front 3. If Gerrard has made up his mind it is definitely 433 for us, we cannot go into a new season knowing if Morelos doesn't score, no one does.Whilst I like Kent, he's not the messiah and has flattered to deceive in some poor performances recently and if Liverpool want too much for him, we move on and Murphy will return, Jones is possibly a better signing than first anticipated etc.
I'd be keeping Alfredo if possible and possibly cash in on someone else.
