Everyone though Sir Alex Ferguson was mad to go with young talent.so yet again why aren’t we taking advantage of those who think money isn’t a factor to make there team successful and let talent go to waste. 🤜🏼♥️🤍💙 Edited January 10 by Fa1833 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for players, they and their agents will generally go where the money is, rather than where the trophies are. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s hope we have more players like Jack and Dijon’s agents who want them to play football , also the other agents and players who don’t want to play for cups leagues and European football deserve to be left in limbo, as they don’t see football for what it was intended to be for , which is for the Fans and the atmosphere it brings to those who love it, money is the route to all evil so let them enjoy it whilst it lasts, more Djion and Jack agents for me please Mr PSV guy 🤣 Edited January 10 by Fa1833 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say by the end of the season easily £7-8 million if he keeps on playing the way he does, no doubt he will be sold on or goes on a free after his contract expires, especially if this is what we are doing with all the players who have come before us like Bassey with talent , who has this actually profited not Rangers football club itself or the fans. That is the current model, but it's also the model of many other clubs around Europe. We have had some limited success with it, but it's not that easy to do AND be successful on the park. We've also still not had a profitable year over the last 15 years. We need to aim to consistently break-even over a period of time before we can build up a reserve of cash to look at stadium expansion. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We brought him in primarily as cover for the right back position and has never looked that great there. He had one great game at left back coming on as a sub, but he has done well as a defensive midfielder, but still isn't first choice in that position. Let's hope As for Jack, I p[resume that you mean Butland? There's an element of risk bringing in a 30-something player who has hardly played over the last few years. Goalie is probably the easiest position to do that. We've won a watch with him, but we've been burnt in the past with bringing in similar players. I'm not sure using him as a basis of a trading model will lead to long term success. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not long term indeed with super jack but I think we have a nest egg with Djion I really hope we do, if not then it’s going to open up peoples eyes especially those who want to play in Europe cup finals etc, lets hope this new guy we have brought in does the job🤜🏼♥️🤍💙 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much would you say would be a reasonable amount for a ticket £48 per game with a pie and Bovril flung in? I think they need to add MyGers and RangersTV as a package for about £15-18 a month happily pay for one but not both.

Freebies and gimmicks are a waste of time. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
