cupidstunt Posted October 29, 2016 Report Posted October 29, 2016 http://rangers.co.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Rangers-Reports-and-Accounts-2016.pdf £6.2m in debt How any club can be that far behind when they've spent 4 seasons playing part time teams while taking in £10m+ a season in gate receipts beggars belief. My fear when they went bust and started again was that they'd come into the SPL after playing there way back up having millions in the bank from playing a team that suited each league. If they'd done the climb the proper way they'd have a bank balance that would put them in the driving seat. Instead they're on the brink. Pleasing Quote
manc_don Posted October 29, 2016 Report Posted October 29, 2016 Well this is a pleasing thing to wake up to this morning, thanks cupidstunt Quote
Ten Caat Posted October 29, 2016 Report Posted October 29, 2016 According to some Huns the board went round various banks in Edinburgh in October looking for loans and got knocked back every time. Quote
irnbru1903 Posted October 29, 2016 Report Posted October 29, 2016 Wish they would just die as a club but that would be just too decent of them. Financial fair play my arse. Quote

I heard it was London and investment funds but it amounts to the same thing, no one outside the big hoose will touch them. Quote
BigAl Posted November 2, 2016 Report Posted November 2, 2016 Huns unable/unwilling to pay off Barton, so invited back to Newco Rangers have announced that midfielder Joey Barton "will return to full-time training" following a club-imposed suspension. The 34-year-old has been absent from the club since a training-ground row in the wake of September's 5-1 loss at Celtic Park. With agent Eddy Jennings, he attended a meeting with club officials last week. Barton has stated repeatedly he wants to return and fight for his place, having joined from Burnley in May. "Joey Barton has been told he will return to full-time training following the conclusion of a disciplinary procedure," said Rangers on their website. "The Auchenhowie [training base] management team will inform the player of appropriate training arrangements to which he must adhere for as long as he remains a Rangers player. "Neither the club, nor the player, will comment further." Barton is also facing Scottish FA charges for breaching betting rules. He was charged with placing 44 bets on games between 1 July and 15 September. The former Manchester City, Newcastle United and QPR player, who has one England cap, left Burnley under freedom of contract at the end of last season, signing a two-year contract at Ibrox. He has made eight appearances for Mark Warburton's side, who are currently second in the Scottish Premiership. The fact that Joey Barton is returning to full-time training does not necessarily mean the resumption of his Rangers career. Under Fifa rules, a player under contract at a club must be provided with training facilities. The fact that the player was suspended reflects the view of the management team about the serious nature of a training ground row in September. Any return to the first-team squad would need to be handled in such a way as to not disrupt the mood and unity among the players. Rangers' statement does not say that Barton is returning to the first-team squad, or will be available for selection, and only the management team at their Auchinhowie training base is mentioned, rather than first-team manager Mark Warburton. Either the player does eventually return to the first-team squad, or his Rangers career effectively remains over and what happens in the January transfer window will be significant. Quote
Ten Caat Posted November 6, 2016 Report Posted November 6, 2016 Hilarious thread on sevco media. Poll says 73% want Mr Hovis given his jotters. They want Frank de Boer to replace him.....only c@nt they could afford would be Frank de Spencer :rofl: Quote
manc_don Posted November 6, 2016 Report Posted November 6, 2016 Frank de Boer?!?! :rofl: Not a fucking chance Quote
tom_widdows Posted November 6, 2016 Report Posted November 6, 2016 Should this not be in its proper place? http://www.donstalk.co.uk/index.php/topic,13607.4860.html Quote
tlg1903 Posted November 6, 2016 Report Posted November 6, 2016 Hun media is quite amusing this evening. They don't seem too enamoured at the prospect of DM which is quite interesting but then they are huns so obviously not the sharpest tools in the box. Regardless though if MW walks our manager is going to be bookies favourite unfortunately. Quote
Stupie82 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Posted November 7, 2016 Frank de Boer?!?! :rofl: Not a fucking chance Thats their level of mentality. The still think they are the pre-liquidated version of Sevco, where they can spend spend spend and attract the top managers. I personally think they are over achieving yet they were raging last week at even being in second spot. They are saying it will be at least next season before they challenge for the title... deluded fuckwits the lot of them. I have said it for many many years... their own fans will be their own downfall and the final nail in the coffin. Quote
manc_don Posted November 7, 2016 Report Posted November 7, 2016 I hope you're right Stupie, I really do. Nothing would please me more for them to let their club die (again) once and for all. Quote
Edinburghdon Posted November 8, 2016 Report Posted November 8, 2016 Sky sports now reporting Barton has been signed off with stress. Quote
RicoS321 Posted November 8, 2016 Report Posted November 8, 2016 Sky sports now reporting Barton has been signed off with stress. Excellent. They chose the wrong person to mess with clearly, he doesn't seem the type to take their shite lying down. He's the type that'd happily cut his nose off to spite his own face - I can see him seeing out his career on their ridiculous wages. Fantastic. Quote
Ten Caat Posted November 8, 2016 Report Posted November 8, 2016 Hoovering up 20k a week from sevco would cause anyone extreme anxiety. The poor chap needs an extended period of rest. Around 18 months should be enough Quote
manc_don Posted November 8, 2016 Report Posted November 8, 2016 This has brightened up my day no end Quote

He's the type that'd happily cut his nose off to spite his own face - I can see him seeing out his career on their ridiculous wages. Fantastic. Aye here's hoping he digs his heels in and takes them for all they're worth, it'd be monumentally funny if this is what finally sinks them! Saying that it's a shame if he's genuinely struggling.

Saying that it's a shame if he's genuinely struggling. It could be my misinterpretation of your humour but I don't get whether this is sarcastic irony or human compassion? If the latter, that would be amazing. Barton is a fucking cunt. He stuck a lit cigar in a kid's face. And he's their fucking cunt. No chance that he does - Liverpool and Glasgow are the biggest sickie claimants in the UK - but I hope he does have depression and does the world a favour by killing himself. Scum vermin cheat. Quote
dandy Posted November 8, 2016 Report Posted November 8, 2016 What a disgusting excuse for a human you are! Quote
BigAl Posted November 8, 2016 Report Posted November 8, 2016 Barton gone. Mutual consent apparently Quote
Stupie82 Posted November 8, 2016 Report Posted November 8, 2016 Barton gone. Mutual consent apparently That's a shame... would have hoped he would have bled them dry. Quote
tlg1903 Posted November 8, 2016 Report Posted November 8, 2016 ..... worth a look? I jest, of course. Quote
rocket_scientist Posted November 8, 2016 Report Posted November 8, 2016 Barton played it well. He got more than he was worth and it cost the filth. He was a has-been when he joined. This was a delightful marriage of shit with shit. Quote
Edinburghdon Posted November 8, 2016 Report Posted November 8, 2016 ..... worth a look? I jest, of course. It'd be funny purely to piss off the Huns. I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole but It was only last year he was Burnleys player of the season so he's not totally past it, reckon he's better than he's shown this season. From the sounds of things the training ground bust up was driven by him trying to get the team to stop coasting and If he wasn't such an irritating personality I suspect his message may have got across. Quote
Ten Caat Posted November 8, 2016 Report Posted November 8, 2016 Odds on him joining Dhims till the end of the season? He is an odious cretin for sure but a fit Barton up here is certainly good enough to contribute. Could easily cover for lego muncher in games against Killie, Thistle etc allowing Broony to give his weary legs a rest. And simultaneously deliver a huge GIRFUY to Mr Hovis and the orc hordes Quote
