Welcome to Gersnet, Mr Tarbuck....
-
Must admit I don't have a clue how we're going to play next season. I think it's pretty obvious we're still short of a few players while others will go. As such, we can't really make an informed judgement until August.

http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/08/06/26/manual_103242.html&TEAMHD=soccer Certainly sounds like an interesting signing given the quality of the teams also apparently previously interested.

An interesting topic that will always provoke much debate. In today's SPL climate, finance is king - especially when one considers the often unrealistic expectations of some fans. There's no doubt the JJB deal provides financial security for the club and the money is vital in terms of of our bank balance each year. However, as you touch on, we should be pressurising JJB to ensure they still provide a decent service for our supporters to use. I found it incredible that around the time of the UEFA Cup final, you could not buy an adult Rangers strip anywhere. Obviously we don't know the ins and outs of the deal but if you think of the companies involved in it - Rangers, JJB, Umbro and Carling/Coors - then I'm surprised any problems have not be ironed out before now. Before the JJB deal we were making around the same money from our retail arm but I believe there was/is future risk with regard to that market (Walmart?) collapsing. Add in increased overheads for all businesses right now, we've probably gained more than we see on the face of it. Time will tell whether the deal was successful but initially at least it seems satisfactory enough.

Thank goodness there was a decline and fall of classical studies before I attended high school....

Different levels of everything when it comes to the murky underworld my friend...

I think Alexander would improve with more experience of playing for Rangers. Much like McGregor has done in the last 2 years or so... Thus if we're getting around �£8million for AM, I'd be quite happy to accept it actually - as long as the funds are invested back into other areas of the team.
-
Well said TB... I concur with that...
-
Not sure how true the links you mention are true - I have heard them from several different people so they may have merit. If they are true, you'd think that a certain near billionaire businessman with several high net worth associates of vintage dealings repute would be able to sort this out. :box: :box: :uzi:

Cuellar has already said he won't move to an EPL provincial club. Hopefully we can keep him here unless a really big team comes calling with serious money.
-
I guess they Liverpool team bus will arrive 90mins-2 hours before kick off. As such, I'd make sure you're around the front door in that time period. Unfortunately, when team buses arrive, usually it's impossible to communicate with the players as they're surrounded by police and head straight into the stadium foyer. After the game may give you a better chance of photos.

I like it. Nice and simple!
-
The drug rumours are nonsense. If any Rangers player was taking cocaine then they'd soon be found out - both by Rangers and/or the authorities' regular random testing. Any future threads will be closed.
-
Done now...
-
There isn't mate... I'll sort it out.
-
All articles on the main site are archived mate...
-
Thanks for clearing that up guys...
-
No idea mate. I am hoping I'll attend (I can't speak for others) but the early time and that fact it's on a Sunday may deter a lot of people from going. I did ask the remaining board to ensure my resignation letter was available for viewing if any member wanted to read it.

http://www.gersnetonline.net/newsite/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=653&Itemid=2 Makes this article published today all the more interesting...
-
A well written piece as usual mate. Very fair and balanced. Every RST member should take note ahead of the SGM announced in the other thread.
-
Should be indeed.
-
You could be right mate. I think Velicka is a decent signing actually and could possibly now be the most all-round player we have. He is supposed to be rather lazy though but I guess he won't get away with that here.
-
True but I think the wee man is still going to be played in the wider roles....

I trust The_Insider with Gersnet's reputation BD... Don't go telling our posters of his mistakes... :admin:
-
The_Insider suggests otherwise.... :notworthy:
