I'd prefer Ball to Papac at centre half.
-
Yes, I thought Jim Hannah handled himself very well, and put forward the club's view in a way that could be appreciated by those attending, and not in a "we know better" kind of way that can often be the case when "the club" are talking to the support. I didn't agree with everything he said, but both him and Andy Kerr did well at the meeting.

Just being a shareholder doesn't entitle you to receiving commercially sensitive information, including people's salaries.

The Assembly replied to Frankie but they haven't submitted their reply to the club, but hopefully they will do so. Not sure about the timescale as a lot of things have been thrown up in the air following the "change" at the top, but there will be continued dialogue with the Assembly to try and ensure that things move forward.
-
I believe that they all turned up apart from Gersforum, who had to pull out at the last moment. I'm sure Frankie could confirm this....which he just did.
-
I'm like you S-A. I'm far from convinced. We binned that Chinese team quick enough, for example, and they even had an orange strip. Man Utd will make good money, but they (folk from the far east) don't care about anything other than the EPL.

Still don't see it working. There'd be ways around it. For example we only have �£5K/week left to bring in Rothen, but he needs 20K to come. We pay him �£5K/week and SDM employs his wife to work for MIH at �£15K/week. Simples. There's loads of other problems with it as well. How do work in bonuses? Why not take into account other expenses (one club's stadium expenses may be 5% of income whereas another's may be 40%)? What if a club get's in cash from a share issue? etc etc. Sorry but I think it's a crap idea.

So celtic do their retail inhouse and get �£20m of income. We do it through JJB and get �£4.5m. Both clubs are equally profitable on this but Celtic get to pay �£13m salaries on this whereas we get to pay around �£3m. Yeah, great idea, Gordon.
-
Both clubs have similar facilities with their banks (�£35m) and are similar in a lot of ways so it is only natural to compare, and you are correct to say that the finances are linked. They were a lot further away from their facility so they could go out and spend money whereas we couldn't.
-
I'd say so. Just looking at debt alone, we're probably �£25m worse off.
-
I don't see any need to sign Broadfoot up on a long term deal. Where's he going to go?
-
Craig covers the credit rating well. I don't know too much about the credit rating industry as my company doesn't have need of it, but it could also be something to do with Rangers being part of a bigger group, whereas Celtic are not. As Craig says, the guy who posts it doesn't know what he is talking about. Celtic are in far better financial shape and will be in 12 months time as well. However if we win the league again and get into the CL, then you may see the gap becoming even smaller.
-
Yeah, I'd forgotten about that. I think he also did the Goalie's and Barry's.
-
There seemed to be denials from the club and then there was "confirmation". However if it's in FM.......
-
Broadfoot's has been hiding it well over the past 18 months or so.
-
No relation. Daryll's certainly on our side.
-
I'm disappointed we haven't brought in a centre half. What happens if Bougherra breaks a leg next week? What happens when he disappears (in January?) to the Afican Nations Cup? Is Weir too slow for CL football? Can he manage 2 games a week?
-
Dailly. That's why Cuellar had to go.
-
That's the club's story. Depends on whether you believe the club or not. Personally I don't. I reckon he was pushed. If he didn't go then there was no Davis, Mendes or Edu, as we didn't have the cash for them. They got grief for pushing hutton out the door, and this time the got Cuellar to agree to a story that he wanted to leave. If Cuellar was that keen to leave why did he go up to Falkirk and watch our game there. It just doesn't add up.

Lafferty's best year.

Rangers 4 : 1 Hamilton - Player Ratings and MoM Poll
Bluedell replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
We'd have still won the league. -
I disagree with that. Rangers obviously decided at the start of last season that he wasn't going to feature as they wanted rid of him. The decision seems to have been based on financial resons ratehr than playing reasons. There were times when they could have played him and didn't, eg playing Dailly in front of him.
-
It appears that Boyd would have gone to Birmingham if the financial side was right for him. It wasn't. The Rangers management are unlikely to come out and say that they want rid of him in case the deal fell through, which was what happened.
-
Was he as bad as some reports have suggested?
-
What about a centre half?
