@NewcoTed: The O'Halloran standoff is now a point of principle for the Rangers board. Why should Rangers be treated differently from any other club?

 

How are we being treated differently ?

Our board aren't stupid. They know St Johnstone are unable to turn down a fee for a players who's got just 18months left on his contract & won't sign a new one.

What St Johnstone are trying to do is entice other bidders to get more money i.e. start an auction. It doesn't look like there are any other bidders though.

It's not unlike the Scott Allan stuff at the start of the season. He had to go & Hibz eventually got £250k after Stubz told everyone Allan was a £1m player.

the best way of answering St J would be to sign another target and leave them holding an unsettled player coming towards the end of his contract. They seem desperate why else would they continue running to the media every other day trying to force our hand

@NewcoTed: @Paul_brennan18 There is a standoff, trust me

 

@Paul_brennan18: @NewcoTed so st Johnstone have changed the terms or are Rangers Refusing to meet them ?

 

@NewcoTed: @Paul_brennan18 It all comes back to wanting the money upfront. They feel they can't bend on it because every club will want the same.

Could it be that St Johnstone sell players normally with payment instalments ? Could that be why we are being treated differently ? I don't know, genuine question.

 

Allan's situation is a red herring IMHO. Hibs were never selling him to us. I don't think it is a comparable situation.

another Warburton target. Obviously not a player for the sake of it. Just move onto the next player on mw list

If this truly is the case then we'll get him in the final hour of the window if no other club come in for him. Both clubs waiting to see who blinks first.

Hibs would have been nuts to sell him to us. The did exactly the right thing.
