54andcounting 0 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 ........Some they will just make redundant: Gordon Smith might be one and either Durrant or McDowall. I expect Ally to take a big (say half) pay cut for the sake of the team, then others might follow. But expect to see a very different Rangers team in the next few weeks. I'd be surprised.....don't think there'll be much change between now and May. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I'd be surprised.....don't think there'll be much change between now and May. If there is a 10 million deficit in running costs then I am afraid you are wrong 54. The administrators have already said that we need to have more coming in than going out. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears 0 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 It's a good thing. I'm more worried about the people behind the scenes that are on low income. That £7,000 can keep a good few people in a job. I've no doubt we will see Ally working for nothing very soon and hopefully Durrant and McDowell will either do the same or take a big reduction. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,247 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 If there is a 10 million deficit in running costs then I am afraid you are wrong 54. The administrators have already said that we need to have more coming in than going out. McCoist, Durrant and McDowell AFAIK all work on different levels of coaching with the players. It's not that we employ 3 housekeepers doing the very same job. I would expect that the squad might be thinned to 25 players, that is including the reserves, who essentially hardly have any competition. While it is hard to believe in this day and age, you do wonder whether some of the players asked to go may stay on nonetheless and play for no fee or possibly a fee funded from the outside (if that is possible). Methinks the SFA players union may be willing to pay for them too - ere they will "flood" the freebie market? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SPL sort of set a precedent on helping with players wages when Gretna went into administration in 2008, but if I remember correctly they only gave Gretna a loan secured on their share of TV money for the season and the SPL only did this because Gretna players weren't getting paid and the club wouldn't have been able to fulfill it's fixtures for the remainder of the season without such help. Our situation is completely different as things stand at the moment, so unless things take a dramatic turn for the worse, then I don't expect to see any help from the SPL or SFA. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
