V for Vendetta Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 No apologies from me for lifting this straight from another poser on the RTC site. To me the constant flushing of other people's money down the toilet on expensive foreign football players just to so the fret people can win everything domestically by dozens of points each year is totally immoral and unjustified. And then when blowing the banks money, the fans money, the shareholders money, Dave Kings money and ENIC's money wasn't quite enough they screwed us all by taking the tax man's money and spending that on more players = more trophies. The fanny didn't even have the good grace to put any of his own cash in. Looking back on it now, how did we ever miss this as it happened? To what lengths did they go to keep the national press from asking questions. If you think I'm being OTT here just imagine the uproar if AFC had spent money we didn't have like this for 15 years and the media's precious OF teams hadn't been able to win every league titles. They have been out to get us in every way possible. We'd be accused of cheating and the administrative bodies would be harassed and threatened until they changed the rules to precent us from doing so. Last question for you all - would Afc have been in anything like as much debt as we are if we hadn't stupidly been trying to keep even close to this. Rangers profit/loss figures lifted from RTC blog: LORD DODGY: THE WONDER YEARS 1995-2009 2009Turnover 39.7mLoss for the year – 12.7m 2008Turnover 64.5mProfit for the year 7.2m 2007Turnover 41.8mLoss for the year -6.253m 2006Turnover 43.483mProfit for the year 0.092m 2005Turnover 34.480mProfit for the year 12.674m* * This figure was arrived at by counting a 15m gain due to ‘negative goodwill release’ from buying back NTL’s previous 15m investment in Rangers media rights for £1.

V for Vendetta Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 WOW! Thats almost as bad as rangers These figures are Rangers' financial figures. Thats my point, we along with the rest of scottish football have been trying to keep up with this level of consistent overspending. Financial doping of the clearest kind. Link to comment
