Rangers Football Club 0 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) FRUSTRATION at failure to reach agreement on wage cuts with advisors More... DAVID WHITEHOUSE of club administrators Duff and Phelps has made the following statement to the media this evening: Today has been a very frustrating day. Earlier in the day, we believed we had agreed in principle a basis of cost-cutting measures with the players accepting substantial pay cuts and we are very grateful for their efforts in reaching that point. Sadly this evening we have been unable to reach agreement on the personal conditions sought by the advisors to the players in respect of those wage cuts. There is still some hope these issues can be resolved first thing in the morning but it is extremely disappointing we haven't been able to get there tonight.

der Berliner 3,263 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 So essentially the agents making a mess of it ... since they are not "Rangers at heart" as some of their clients, but businessmen. Hm. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,263 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Careful lads. We are only getting one side of the story. In the redundancies thread, Zappa posted a number of highly volatile Record stories from the "other side". As opposed to the administrators, the press can show some leniency with regard to the truth and with claims. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The administrators are the only ones making statements. If there are negotiations, then there are two sides. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,263 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The administrators are the only ones making statements. If there are negotiations, then there are two sides. Yep. But the only words you can take "for granted" from the other side are direct quotes. So far, the press delivers spicy reports peppered with the odd quote here and there, but none which are actually "spicy". As I said, they have us go bananas on the basis of "our sources close to players", "claims by" and somesuch. When you look at what is actually quoted, the story is sure not as dramatic as painted. (Which is not saying that it isn't. But I for one do not jump to conclusions from press talk alone.) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we have learned not to take things at face value, especially since a certain Craig Whyte rode into town. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
