Gribz 743 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) Was just thinking about the income we will get from tonights game then thought about how much it could actually cost us long term. Im thinking back to the Liverpool friendly in the summer and how we were battered on the day so it not only turned out to be a pointless match but it was sandwiched in between the Kanuas CL qualifier. Rather than preparing for a huge 2nd leg we risked players getting injured for the sake of a money maker which ended up playing a part in not qualifying for the CL - how costly was that! So Im looking towards tonights game against Milan. On one hand the revenue from this game will be helpful and we are likely to rake in about 30% of what we wanted from the sale of a player in January. But on the other hand do we really need a friendly during a busy period on a cold night when we are still going for the 3 domestic trophies? Shouldnt we be resting players with an ugly tie at Forfar coming up at the weekend followed by a massive Old Firm match!!! After all , what happens if we get freak injury to a key player which puts a dent in our title bid? Winning the title is a must this season for 1) financial reasons as we gain auto entry to the CL and 2) Because Rangers shouldnt go 4 in a row without a title.

Frankie 8,150 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Game will played at walking pace as both teams will be wary of injuries... Not too worried about it myself all things considered. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
