Lack of communication = A convenient excuse

Exactly. Opportunists & chancers the lot of them. Rangers had to honour their existing contracts. All of them. Why didn't they transfer over then leave ?

spare me the excuses for these players please

They are not and were not bullshitting anyone regarding the lack of commumication from the club. It's completely unfair to say they've been telling porkies, bullshitting or whatever else you want to call it when practically all of the players have commented about the lack of communication including players who have stuck with us. Someone else mentioned Jig talking about it which is true and Andy Little also commented on the lack of communication. You can't pick and choose which players you're calling liars when they all have the same story regarding this subject of poor communication.

what I don't understand in all of this is that if there's to be a shares issue or whatever, what's to stop someone or some organisation to try & mount a takeover bid by buying up a majority of shares ?

Young players like Ness & McCabe wouldn't have been on particularly high wages at Rangers. They saw an opportunity to get out & get better deals elsewhere and took it. All I ask of them and all the others who did likewise is to stop bull-shitting us with 'lack of communication' and 'uncertainty'. We know why you all left. We are not stupid. Just be honest with all of us Rangers supporters. That's all.

how can it be a 12 month signing embargo when it lasts til jan 2014? this is beyond a joke

presume edu's going to keep ness company on the bench at stoke

Surely we can sign free agents after Aug31 2013?

As I see it the sole issue was all of these players who didn't transfer over took advantage of the situation to get more money elsewhere. Some of the younger players such as Ness & McCabe wouldn't have been on particularly high wages anyway.

P.S I hope CG persists in getting money for them all !!!

I always wondered why the SPL didn't announce the value of their SKY/ESPN contract. I believe there'll be all sorts of clauses in it like us being back in top league again next year ( if it's still called the SPL).

If we win the FTT then the EBT's will surely be deemed non-contractual. Would this SPL investigation then be unable to deem these EBT's as a second undeclared contract ?

Just a small and posibly insignificant point , but Scotland make up 10% of the UK population approx . Now the bottom team in the EPL gets £18.5 million from domestic Tv rights alone , the BBC spends a fortune on match of the day rights yet in Scotland the top team gets less than £3 million in total from the BBC and SKY , why there has not been an investigation into this is beyond me .As licence fee payers surely we are due the same level of expenditure as down south .

My point is if you need to get the right people running the game & negotiating these contracts. Regan, Doncaster & Co clearly aren't

as we still await official figures for the new SPL TV deal (rumour has it that it's reduced but by how much ?) perhaps no one seemed to notice the deal the Dutch league struck recently with Fox International allegedly worth 1billion euros over 12 years, with first year worth 60million and following years worth 80-100 million euros.

just goes to show how poor the SPL deal is. Does this not show that another smallish country can negotiate a deal worth vastly more than what ours is if you get the right people in charge.

The Regans and Doncasters have been an abject failure. They have not moved Scottish football forward. They must be removed along with their chums like Lawwell and Petrie too whose only involvement appears to be an anti-Rangers agenda whilst Scottish football is dying on its feet.

regards the OP don't forget Aberdeen were giving free season tickets to under12's for each adult season ticket

We need a couple of out and out midfielders for a start and let's have midfield players in the MF please

he cant just become a football manager, he either has it or he doesnt and ally doesnt.

Much as though I'd like to disagree with you M8 I can't.

Ally will be judged on how successful he is and by that I mean winning trophies.

That's why the league cup & Scottish Cup are so important this season.

Also I wonder how long Green & co will put up with results like todays

Well said Neil.

I genuinely believe we won't be stripped of titles

At times Ally looks totally clueless when things aren't going well. That needs to change - FAST

the bottom team in the EPL gets £18.5 million per year from the home tv contract ie the one match of the day signed , never mind the sky portion

And the Dutch League (eredivisie) gets something like 70million euros p.a.

when dhoncaster & o'rhegan were recruited weren't they supposed to change all this ?

the SPL have actually got a worse deal than they originally had.

that the much acclaimed new SPL SKY/ESPN TV deal (no actual figures released BTW) is actually supposedly less in value than one EPL match ?

Perhaps 2days result will convince a few people that the players we've now got aren't as good as we maybe think they are

broadfoot is a dud his level is junior football .

Walter Smith brought him to Rangers as a squad player. Nothing more.

Now we want him to be something he isn't i.e. an international class fullback capable of playing at the highest level.

the defence wasn't great 2day but the lack of creativity was a big worry for me. Are we intending to sign any wide players or just punt the ball up the middle ?

If we want to use Kyle properly we need someone who can get to the bye-line and get decent crosses into the box for him

today we went with two 17 year olds, Ian Black & Dean Shields who plays so far forward can he really be called a midfielder ? in all honesty that midfield would struggle in any league. It was outnumbered constantly.

Are there any plans to bring in more midfielders ?

when McCulloch went back to midfield after Kyle came on things improved significantly. Pity Ally didn't think of this earlier

Have to say I was absolutely delighted they got hammered 5-0 by Moscow Dynamo. You have to laugh at Spence though don't you ? Any decent organisation ( which BBC Scotland isn't) would have got shot off this nonce long ago who constantly contradicts himself.

CG's ultimate aim must be to get Regan out at the SFA and Doncaster out at the SPL. These two are our enemies whichever way you look at it
