Tune. So reading between the lines, Jose loves the rangers and will be at ibrox in the summer with a £50m war chest. Excellent

james whyte

All I really want is a 49Gers Tshirt in the summers MyGers box and I'm happy That and Jose as boss with £100 mill to spend

Gary Staff

I remember talking a friend into buying that album. He still hasn’t forgiven me😀

Craig

What kind of wage would Jose be on?

Gregg

Question re the share issue - is it as simple as doing a share issue? Reason I ask is we hear how the likes of Newcastle struggle re FFP - why wouldn’t they be able to do something similar?

Jeb

Could he do it in Dingwall on a Sunday lunchtime though? 😋

Heart and Hand

Every club structure is different as are league rules - as well as FFP remember that Newcastle are under Premiership Sustainability Rules (PSR) which are much stricter.* In Rangers case though, yeah it’s pretty straightforward to do (an occasional) share issue. Loans being converted to equity - which we’ve done fairly regularly - is just a form of that.

Heart and Hand

* it does look as though Man City’s recent court win on the legality of the PSR rules will blow that open though. If so, expect Newcastle to suddenly get a record-breaking £500m shirt sponsorship from Saudi Arabia.

Alistair Burch

London eh? Any truth to the rumour yourself and Mark Dingwall are to be the new regimes Media relations team? Glasses of milk for everyone!!! 🎉😆

Steffen McAndrew

Jose doesn’t need the money. Professional pride, guiding the Gers back to their rightful place at the top of Scottish football and lifelong adulation. I reckon his ego would be well served…

Scott Watson

Surely two separate things? Issuing shares is about getting money in FFP/PSR is about how much of it you can spend- because a share issue will not be considered revenue for those purposes

Gregg

Thanks for clarifying - good point on the loan conversions

Colin Wieland

This DU is not the the first time that I've heard the name Russell Martin. I have to say it gives me serious palpitations, and not in a good way.😱

John Smith

Jose would do just fine for me. Wouldn’t mind Rafa at all.

Jim McCutcheon

Jose rangers manager 🤔🙃😁, thanks David 👍 😊

Heart and Hand

They couldn’t pay me enough to work for Rangers. 24/7, your performance meaningless if 11 men you have no control over don’t win and hundreds of thousands of ultra-critical people watching your every move certain they could do your job better - and they’re the ones who LIKE you!

Alan Hutchison

Gerrard would be a perfect director of football if he could be convinced. Brings professionalism to all areas and could have time at home.

Jim Milne

If I had the choice I'd rather have José Mourinho for a year, than Danilo & Cortes.

Heart and Hand

Scott - you can spend it on structural things - staffing, stadium, academy etc. That frees up a bit more to spend on players but as we’ve said there’s no way to fund a £100m splurge. But we will likely spend more than we would have this summer and still be on a better financial footing. If they decide to do it of course, I’m sure they will look at all options.

Jim Milne

Imagine the interviews from Jose after playing on a plastic pitch! Ha.

Graham Jones

Since when has Kris Boyd been an expert on European football. I still remember that sitter he missed against Villareal. He never was trusted after that. I don’t want to get into the manager situation because I think we might have miscalculated in the timing of the sacking. The choice of interim manager was done to appease the generation who were schoolboys when Barry was a player. They make the most noise these days around the club. I come from a bit further back, so I was completely uninspired by the choice. We all idolised Ally, but we quickly knew he wasn’t a manager. When these new owners come in they will be ignored in the future, and so will we. Corporate America doesn’t do touchy feely with football supporters all that well. I’m not cynical about regime change, because we have needed it for three years, but we need to be asking more questions before it happens, and there is a lack of questions which concerns me. People are getting carried away by the 49 Ed’s logo at the moment. But they haven’t won a SuperBowl since 1995.

JimGLW

Jose haha So thin skinned yet excellent in his replies

Rod

I don't think a share issue is an FFP avoidance silver bullet.

Gary Staff

Must admit it wasn’t my cup of tea, was a couple of songs a remember being good but not for me. Was very surprised to see they make a lot of educational music for kids these days. I suppose karma caught up with me as my son was obsessed with the Mickey Mouse Club House for years and they did the music for it. So I suppose I’ve been listening to them for years.

Paul Black

Memo to Jose It's RANGERS and Celtc Get it right pal

Rod

I agree that stadium and even training ground naming rights that will be a big FFP dodge. I think King Power is £15M/season for Leicester.

David Welsh

Great tune, David! Hopefully “Turkish Song of the Damned” won’t be appropriate come Friday morning.

Craig McWhinnie

I have my doubts that the 49ers group will be interested in any of the names that have been thrown around recently, tbh I’d be disappointed if they were interested

George Joyce

Hope your tight about share issue, I didn't think it would be anything like that

William Noble

Remember we have been pish in Scotland domestic league but in Europe we have been excellent, pc was an excellent European manager

Fergie

Enjoy your wee break. The rest of them are big enough and ugly enough to hold the fort without you. 😊
