Danny 0 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Just been reported that Naismith, Whittaker, Shagger and Davis have agreed the big cut. Now this is from 'Sky Sources' who also told us 3 other players had asked to be released from their contracts, and no one else ever did leave, but if this is true today, then it's very positive and hopefully other alleged top earners like Papac, Lafferty et al will agree these cuts. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Not sure what to believe from Sky. Just read this on their site: Former Rangers manager Dick Advocaat has shrugged off accusations that he is to blame for the club's financial woes. The Russian was in charge for four years, between 1998 and 2002, and won the treble in his first season at the helm. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bheeb said that Advocaat reckons the millions spent was worth it as we won titles etc. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueMazza 0 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Sky reported the same quotes. 'shrugs off' sounds worse though. It's all about spin on a quote isn't it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just assumed the Russian manager was Russian. But anyway Advocaat is talking rubbish. Two titles in four seasons was not worth the money and definitely not worth the downsizing afterwards leading to where we are today. On another of his points not many of the players were sold for profits. In fact he mentions Van Bronckhurst, Numan and Kanchelskis. Those cost about 16M combined and we only got back 8M for VB. He also spent a lot more than 36M in his three and half years... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Didn't Advocaat spend like £4m on Konterman? Wasn't it closer to £80m he spend and probably got around £25m-£30m back. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked it out a couple of years ago and it was definitely OVER £70m NET that he spent in the transfer market, but you need to consider the players he left for Eck to sell too. All things considered, I'd imagine it would have been around the £60m mark give or take a few million. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
