Sorry but I would dispute that.

I think that underestimates the size of LUFC.

Just on a social media basis we have far more followers for example despite being a 2nd division side for the vast majority of the last 20 years.

Trophies yes but they play in a pub league with basically a 50/50 chance of winning anything.

And financially a Premier League Leeds United will generate significantly more money and ultimately sell for far more than Rangers.

And it’s okay to dispute it. Pub league or no, it’s 55 championship titles, plus gods knows how many cups, just think of the jobs that creates in the Gorbals polishing and dusting. And which other club generates so much love equalled by so much hate in equal measure - and please don’t respond with ‘Leeds’, it’s not many months since we were everybody’s favourite second team.

I recall you were leading a sack the board protest after the Swansea game.

Did anyone else show up?

not sure as i do not attend ER as cannot get a ticket and live on the south coast

[pjm2019]

I’m not saying they wouldn’t, they clearly would, unless Rangers play their under 21s. I’m saying by just about any metric you want to apply - size, support, trophies etc. Rangers as a club win hands down.

only because they play in a 2 club league

[pjm2019]

Umm we did spend every last penny.

The problem is we can't offload or sell players. Clubs might be interested, but their wages are too high, meaning we either loan or give them away for free, and that doesn't help our PSR.

Their wages cannot be an issue if the clubs take them on loan and pay 100% of the wages

[pjm2019]

I've reached the conclusion that for all your efforts, you don't fully understand psr nor the running of a successful following the rules in line club. You should try bringing your expectations down a little, no, a lot.

MOT.

you clearly do not read all my posts over the last couple of seasons. I know the PSR rules in detail and as a financial expert of 40 years i full know and understand balance sheets etc. GO learn

sounds like you are in the wrong forum, whats the Glasgow Rangers one like. Having lived and worked in Scotland i do know the passion of the fans

Serious question OB...how do you think Rangers would have faired in the Premier League regarding trophies and titles.

welcome to my world...

Get yourself sorted Mr Hec, and come and say hello to me and Mr 64

But we don't gain a fee on our buy/sell levels. Yes, it lowers the wage bill, but that's obsolete if we sign more players on the same wage or higher. To spend more under PSR, we need a big sell. The issue is the only players that draw big fees are our key players and fans would moan if we sell them.

I suspected that we'd have a poor window but not quite as bad as it has been....

This is the first window that Adam Underwood has been in a senior recruitment position.

A premier league club.... Dealing with 100 million in transfers entrusts it to a guy who has never been in this position before at any level.....

It all makes sense as to why we bought a majority of injury stricken players and placed them on long term high wage deals.

It is a f##king joke...... Absolute disgrace but ultimately I blame Underwood only so far as he apparently has (like many who are involved in football via good luck or nepotism) very little understanding of both the game and data, never mind forming a cogent long term transfer strategy.

The person I blame is Marathe for giving a totally inexperienced dof sole responsibility for identifying and pursuing players on a limited budget in the prem.

The inadequacy of the deals pursued and negotiation capability surely made Fulham laugh.... Direct rival sell us your really good back up winger last minute in the window pretty please..... Ohhh why did you pull out last min leaving us in the s**t and wasting our time so we couldn't bring anyone else in? Derrrrrr...... Direct rival might have something to do with it.

Is it that these incompetent people in these jobs are just a##e lickers and bullshi##ers who are good with people? Outwardly confident but in reality hot air and no substance? Certainly seems that way. Never in a million years would I have thought that someone could make Victor Orta look better.....

You seem to know a lot about the deals we made with the new players

What are the wages they are on?

Wonder if fans will start to protest at games against this fool who is unfortunately our chairman. But as i said in a earlier post he likes to spend his time at Rangers

Surely you can see the excellent job he’s doing at Rangers

[Musicman1965]

Instead of the daily news we could have the daily breathless rant.

Rant Maybe, but under all the disappointment there are elements of truth

[Orange Box]

Still bigger. Stadium. More on ST waiting list. 49ers management on transfer deadline day.

I was born Rangers, it’s family based, but I found Leeds United on my own. I’m one lucky so and so.

[Orange Box]

Serious question OB...how do you think Rangers would have faired in the Premier League regarding trophies and titles.

It was mooted a few years ago, Swanny, Rangers and Celtic in the PL. if it had happened, with the subsequent financial input, we’d have had 8 mega clubs, instead of the current 6. The fan base in Glasgow is every bit as hungry as Manchester and Merseyside and twice as volatile.

[White Riot]

It's not just Marathe that needs sacked.

Those numpties Adam Underwood, Robbie Evans, and Marathe just need guillotined in the centre circle at half time during the next home match.

I will be more than happy to perform the execution duties.

Brutal. Like waccoe with swear words.

Pleased you did....and we are lucky to have you

Not sure the ‘we’ is unanimous, but thank you.
