Whittaker has played a handfull of good games a season, he is a liability defensively tell me what justified this donkey getting 20k a week 5yr deal ffs.

Ally should tell him to get his Agent to get him another club end off he shouldnt play for Rangers again.

Reading it again though, the wording is not entirely clear. Elior think the deal is worth �£35million to them so that doesn't mean they'll be paying that much to us.

 

As such it may be �£3.8million a year but perhaps not for 9 years.

Might be right mate, i do know the 3m getting quoted to do with upgrading the stadium money came from catering contractors not Whyte himself. Whytes maybe looking at further investment to come in each season and seen this as an opportunity i dont know the inns and outs. Im glad Satty still supplying pies this season he done well last season out of it.

How about the cleaning contract? Surely we pay them.

Yes but i think Whyte has probobly tied the whole agreement into the contract so we are not paying anything out yet they are paying us each year �£3.8m mate.

Frankie Whyte has used 3m to doo up ibrox from there 1st payment i think its 3.8m a year.

Ally was wanting Miller back at Rangers it is down to money, the way we have been dealing in the transfer market for players has been a joke. I think Whyte is waiting to see if we qualify for the Champions league before any more players come in, imo we dont have the money which has been branded about time will tell.

Nothing on Rangers Official Website about Cuellar started from Daily Rhebel, i cant see Whyte paying �£2m for a player when he isn't fit at the moment and Cuellar himself has said he hopes to be back by september if all goes well and if it doesnt he could be out longer and we have paid �£2m for a player to sit on the sidelines. We need someone just now who can play straight in the first team we need to get into the Champions League no ifs or buts..

What does everyone think of Ally McCoist's public acknowledgement we need players quickly? Obviously it's pretty much common knowledge and this'll help other clubs hold out for a higher fee than we are perhaps willing to play. Does publicly playing it up worsen this situation - showing our hand a little too much - or do you reckon it's pretty much immaterial what he says?

Ally is doing too much talking to the Mhedia Rhags imo, he may be getting mis-quoted or twisted either or i would rather ally identify targets get the business done and do the talking on our Official Rangers Media outlets talking about our signing. Never known any Rangers Manager discuss as many signing targets as ally in public. We are getting told up to 6 players needed not quality but quantity. 2 weeks till start of seson and a champions League qualifer to get into Champions League guarnteed �£15 million and we have spent 500k on 1 player Neil Murray and John Brown were brought in before end of last season what they been doin. As i have stated on another thread Ally has to get it right from the off or he is doomed the central defence needs addressed as other areas of the park, if �£5 Million is available we have �£4.5 Million left to get players in from Countrys where Demands are not as high as in the UK. Neil was brought in because he has alot of player knowledge from Eastern european countrys and Scandavanian makets.

Stop the talking Ally and get some business done.

In my life it's been evident that managerial ability is far more important than managerial experience, the two commodities frequently being mutually exclusive.

Time will tell mate, McDowell and Durrant dont fill me with confidence.

My only concern with Ally is with not having any managerial experience and with McDowell and Durrant his backroom team not having any managerial experience, i would have liked an experienced No2 to have come in beside Ally and who has home and european experience. Ally last season looked lost at times and Walter came down from the stands to make changes etc.

I fear if Ally dosn't get it right from the off it will come back to haunt him, i hope i am wrong.

Apparently Whittaker has also agreed a new deal with Davis and Weir to follow this week - positive stuff if true.

 

It is slightly worrying that our wage cap seems to be creeping up again but if we want to retain quality we'll need to pay for it. Let's hope the new regime ensure the fiscal balancing act is performed better than under the previous custodian.

Frankie tbh great news if Davis commits but i don't think Whittaker merits anything near �£20k a week as whats been touted, he is a liability at defending, if Davie is signing on for another season he will need to play every week as he has done due to his legs stiffining up and he might lose a yard or two this coming season i might be wrong big gamble imo.

Bougherra needs to commit or go we will end up in january with another Miller situation and boughy wont be slow in throwing toys out the pram. We need to get some signings in now to cover positions that we could be exposed on.

Stating the bleedin obvious is it not. Whyte and McCoist have both been great at talking the talk. Lets see some action ffs. Am I the only one getting pissed off at this?

This mate, starting to get fucked off 3 weeks til the season starts. No mention of Davis or Shagger Bougherra , Whittaker, signed extensions yet? Bougherra and Whittaker should be sold if they dont want to stay we will have another Miller scenario in january..

Whittaker would do well to remember that he enjoys his current profile mainly thanks to Rangers. I have no argument with anyone trying to better themselves but I do believe in loyalty. In my working life I have had opportunities to go elsewhere for more money but chose to remain where I was because (a) I loved my job and (b) I had a great employer who was loyal to me. I believe that loyalty is a two-way street. Kenny Miller left for more money but now wants back. (I realise the circumstances under which he left). Who's to say that Whittaker would not have a similar experience.

 

I don't think Whittaker is anything special and I believe that the �£1m pa he has been (allegedly) offered is far to much for a player of mediocre ability. Especially one with a limited sense of loyalty.

Spot on mate, cant dissagree with you. Hes chasing the dosh best of luck to him.

I don't see Cuellar coming back tbh and as he is on �£35k a week we are not going to pay anything near that or the �£3 mill asking price. His agent is quoted as saying he will run down his last year at Villa.

If nobody wants to stay and play for our club get them tae fuck, and for Whittaker to have rejected 20k a week is a joke i would give him 10k tops.

Park won't buy Rangers or Whyte won't buy Rangers??

Why would Whyte not buy Rangers ??

Right. I never say shit like this but. My best mates boss, whom i know too plays golf with Park. He has categorically stated to my mates Boss he wil not buy rangers. Now, this isn't two business guys talking, this is two good friends talking.

 

I know if i read one of you lot saying this i'd be sceptical, so take it with the big bunch of salt it should be

Park was involved with a consortium to buy Rangers a couple of years ago, Murray wouldn't entertain them.

Nothing specific, but just that there isn't that much cash behind the deal. Perhaps I'm putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5, but there's normally some positive vibes being put out about these deals, but they aren't coming through this time.

I think mate if Whyte didn't have the money would this of got this far, i don't think so.

Slippery Daves tenure at our club near approaches, how good or bad Whyte is to be nobody knows time will tell.

If what we hear and read is true i will give him the benefit of the doubt, if a takeover of our club isn't forth coming i fear the worst, Whyte is not borrowing money to buy us out so we will be debt free, a situation we didn't see coming and Ally will have a chance to build a team for next season.

Nobody takes us over and if big IF we got hit with a tax bill we would end up in administration, the bank want there money back.

So i am glad this is all coming to an end.

A lot doesn't add up.... So Whyte is this far down the road to buy Glasgow Rangers, he has proved he has funds in place, he agrees in principal to a deal to buy the club... Slippery Dave gets his money back he bought the club for 6 million in 1998, Lloyds get there money so Rangers don't owe them a penny, surely everybody involved is happy am i missing something.

If this takeover isn't concluded i would like the club to come out and explain why? i pay hard earned cash like a lot of fellow bears to follow the team buy merchandise etc etc the bank are bleeding us dry and we have been told there is cuts next season yet they want our cash i am getting sick of it.

Miller has said no to going to Birmingham City, ive heard Smith is furious that the bank had accepted the bid as he dosnt want to lose Miller.

Whyte cant be quoted saying anything due to Stock Exchange rules, i think its Murray whos holding up the takeover for some unknown reason.

Been shot down by Smith at his pess conference today " as fantasy football "

I heard the 15th Jan the deal to be concluded by.
