der Berliner 3,245 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Yes but we would still have to pay them a development fee , therefore CT goes to Utd , Gunning comes to us , supposedly That would make sense, even though it's a bit curious that someone would demand a "developement fee" for a 23-year old. Well, we shall see. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cooper 0 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 If we let Telfer goto Dundee Utd it will be an absolute travesty. It's a disgraceful situation. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,245 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Maybe elfideldo can tell us whether any of the current crop of u20s has the ability and mentality to do a Macleod or Aird and establish himself in the first team. I for one would hope that some others of the first team leave for pastures new ahead of Telfer, but his position might still be filled with people keeping him out (Macleod, Law, Black, Peralta, Aird, McKay). And we don't know what his personal preferences (family) are either, despite being a ST holder at Ibrox. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Elfideldo says Rangers forgot his contract was up. Rangers apparently "forgot" his contract was up. It's probably due lack of opportunity, broken promises and the style of football he has been expected to play on occasions. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just sums up where exactly where we're at, it utterly beggars belief. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 No, no , no, not even the most useless board in our entire history could be this useless. Maybe we need to see them marching down Edmiston Drive in hooped shirts or something. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 4,808 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 No, no , no, not even the most useless board in our entire history could be this useless. Maybe we need to see them marching down Edmiston Drive in hooped shirts or something. The various incarnations of the sp.ivline seem to have left the football department to more or less get on with it. Throwing a disproportionate amount of money at it but not ensuring that it was well spent and taking for granted success in the lower leagues. They've also used it as a way of guarranting large bonus triggers. When you look back at the IPO, not a penny was provisionally allocated towards scouting, youth & development but noises were made about CL music and shares for the Grandkids which were undiluted bull along with so much more of it. If you look at the 'Long Review' it has on the face of it more attention paid to the football department but for me it is still in the main, hogwash. It presents unrealistic ambitions and a lack of detail as to why those ambitions are attainable, both practically and financially. If there has been an oversight regards a players contract, it wouldn't surprise me and would only help confirm an omnishambles that from the boardroom is far more interested in the bottomline and finding creative ways of syphoning money out of the club. I could picture them in the boardroom distributing a bag of Fivers into two piles, "one to us, one to them, one to us, one to them............" and then giving one pile to Ally McCoist and telling him that his remit is to buy a couple of players that will help to flog ST's and whilst you are it give Mr.Tyrell a couple of unattainable names and we'll get them linked in The Sun via Mr. Ibrox Insider or Al Lamont. We are left as the mug punters who have to fund the next stage of the sp.iv circus. And for those who shouting about how this time it'll be different, the vast majority of them have a 100% record in bad judgement calls regarding similar. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlanssister 3,050 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 That the current Directors are more active in trying to unlawfully hide the details of their own and their former colleagues contracts than they are in renewing the contracts of our youth players tells you all you need to know about those that currently inhabit the Ibrox Boardroom. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
