Find the clown that gave him this contract and get rid of him 

What, sign a player for 250k, get 2 good years out of him, and punt him for 10 million?.

 

Aye, terrible business.

compo, we play in Scotland.  If we want to attract young English prospects up here, then contracts like Aribo's are all part of that.

 

I sometimes read Rangers forums and wonder where people get their ideas from...it certainly isn't in the real world.

It might if Gio is waiting on the money to bring in a couple of players. Hence I think we need the £10M paid in full. 

That shouldn't matter though. Just buy Gio his players and spread the cost in line with the Aribo payments.

It isnt.  This is being done out of a necessity.  Of the 2006's only 6 have been handed contracts in the last two years.  The desired quality isnt there, hence the mass influx of 16 yr old kids into the U18's.  It isnt a change in direction of recruitment, it is a necessity because the locally sourced 2006's werent good enough.

I don't think they need to be mutually exclusive.

Yeah if selling clubs are willing to accomdate that - what if they're not?

 

Let's get the £10M for Joe and reinvest it into the squad.

Fire him? Give him a pay-rise / bonus. Signed for £250,000 and sold for £10M - great business.

Good to see movement and a decent incomng fee if a deal can be finalised.

 

I'd promote Lowry and look at other positions if any available funds from deal become available.

He'll have been on a fair wage that can go elsewhere.

It's pretty standard fare. 

 

you could borrow against the payments though in theory.

We have arfield of that role too.
