RANGERRAB

I'm genuinely surprised at the amount of negativity on this Rangers forum & others following yesterday's defeat in a friendly.

And to hopefully get rid of the PAYE/NI HMRC debt he'd built up

Or maybe those at the bank thought whyte was the better deal for their own purposes

No Whyte would have meant no administration.

This thread hence the reason I joined local supporters bus for home games. No more worries about parking

It's because the mhedia don't like the thought of Red Bull becoming involved with Rangers that's why the usual suspects are trying to did up these sort of stories. I can read these cretins like a book.

Truth is we're simply not ready for this calibre of opposition yet even if only a friendly. This team aren't second in the bundesliga for no reason. Between now & the summer we must get a squad in place to get us into the EL group stages. That won't be easy & we must consider all options including loan signings. Up front is where I think we must look at as a priority. We must get someone in ( maybe on loan) capable of getting more goals than we're getting at present

Craig Whyte caused a deliberate administration. No one else

Not against this but we really must get someone up front who will get us 25 league goals per season.

We will need a striker capable of getting 20-25 league goals per season before we can challenge for the title. We don't have one at present. If it means getting someone on loan for the season so be it. How about Vincent Janssen from Spurs ? Cost £17m last summer from AZ67 but has managed just one league goal so far. His confidence has totally gone. Get him on loan for a season. He helps us & we help him. Win-win IMO

The SFA have brought all of this on themselves by employing a Compliance Officer who is anything but impartial.

He's not called Charlie Ridiculous for nothing. The yahoos seem to think they're some kind of superteam. They're not. Europe showed that. Played 12 & won just 3 at home in qualifiers. They wouldn't have got in the CL group stages had it not been for a crap israeli GK. They've got a massive boost from Rogers coming in but that won't last forever. Once the bubble bursts they'll be back down to earth But for as long as they're signing players at £2m or £3m they're catchable. It may take loan signings for us but they are catchable. They can only go on so long duping their supporters they're getting fees of £12-15m for players they bought for a quarter of that. This month will be interesting. Surely if they 're serious about next season they'll be getting ready for the CL qualifiers. So far all they got is an unknown african from Russia who should never in a month of Sundays get a work permit if the rules were properly applied. To catch them we'll need a striker capable of getting 20-25 league goals per season. We've not got anyone like that just now in our squad. Solve that & it's game on. And Nicholas knows it. Don't u charlie ?

And the old duffer QC who held the so-called enquiry will need to amend his report

You forgot to add ' in the interests of sporting integrity'

Is that celtic plc or Celtic fc ltd ?

Transfer fees aren't normally paid up front. As an example if a player joined a club for say £12m & signed say a 3 year contract the selling club, for example, would get 3 times £4m paid at the start of each year of contract if the player remains with his new club. The risk will be if the players leaves during the contract. The original selling club might have to forfeit monies due for the remainder of the contract but could have had sell on clauses added in. All depends on the contract. But the selling club will almost certainly not get the full amount up front although this may well appear in its accounts

Chickens now coming home to roost. Those 10 club chairmen who put Rangers out the SPL five years ago inflicted financial damage on Scottish football from which it may never recover. Its biggest cash cow got put out its top division. Sponsorships & TV money are now derisory compared to elsewhere. Reputable organisations don't want their names & reputations tarnished with a third rate product run by corrupt Scottish football authorities whose ulterior motives were there for all to see. The second anniversary of the current board gaining control of Rangers is only a couple of months away. I'd like to think they are doing absolutely everything possible to get Rangers out of Scottish football. And leave the yahoos behind. In our absence we weren't the ones playing in the empty stadiums. They were. We don't need them but they need us.

Kazakhstan is a very mineral rich nation. Oil too. It has wealth

Time for the Compliance Officer to get his P45. Selective trial by television needs binned. Blatantly obvious the last two have been biased towards the yahoos

If we were allegedly selling players for £12m or so and buying replacements for about a quarter of the price wouldn't we start asking questions ? The truth is they don't get the fees quoted for a number of reasons.

Was liquidated ?? Usual standard of journalism again. Probably deliberate if a yahoo. Oldco is in a liquidation process & won't be liquidated for years to come. If at all.

If you look closely you'll see the letters BJK are missing from the part which blew off

Bates will be loaned out somewhere. If he does well he'll be kept. If not he'll be ditched. Simple

Now we've found our feet back in the top division, It is clear that MW & DW are now trying to improve the quality of the squad for the rest of this season and beyond. It has to be hoped this signing along with Toral will do that even if just in the short term. I also think we'll try to offload two or three players who haven't quite made their mark The SC is all we have left this season & it is important we play in Europe again after a six year absence.

I don't think Crawford's contract is up ntil the end of next season. The days of us paying transfer fees to Scottishclubs will be few & far between from now on I think
