27 Jan 2012 23:54:54
Why is McCoist on Sly Sports saying he hops though not confident Jelavic will still be a Rangers laer by 11pm on 31st jan, maybe i am wrong but does the SPL window not cose on 1st Feb or is this a clear indication that he will leave at last minute.

To be fair mate im a celtic fan and the way your club has conducted its business and its handling of players recently more so trialists if it was a choice im sure celtic would come out tops each time, wouldnt you agree? Willybhoy

Willy, sometimes the trialist fail to impress or as we have seen recently, are attracted by the so called promised land that is down South. Some get offers but want more than the clubs are prepared to pay. Rangers are doing nothin different from any other club,,, yes even Celtic. By the way, it's always good to have a depth of pool, but I'm looking at Celtic and can't help wondering when the s**t is going to hit the fan. There's no way Celtic can sustain the size of squad they have at the moment. They are operating on borrowed time (and money).
Agree4
Disagree5
We have a guaranteed 13 mill credit with bank underwritten by dd think I should be more bothered about ur own sinking ship.think you'll find our taxes and debts are paid in full on time as we're not run by an ego maniac or a con man
Hoodbhoy
Agree3
Disagree3
Celtic are operating on borrowed money aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh when will WE get our head out the sand they have had they accounts sigmed off and it showed a small amount of debt so let think about our own club(what left of it) lets get together and try and save our club.Even before the tax case the unadited account show liabilities in the next year (thats this june)we hae to find over £40m-wake up bears before it too late

Celtic deny VVV Venlo claim over Michael Uchebo. He knocked you back.
The Dutch club say they have rejected a bid from Celtic for the Nigerian striker but sources at the Parkhead club say that is not true. Of course it isn't celtic always tell the truth, maybees.
sport.stv.tv/football/scottish-premier/celtic/295318-celtic-deny-vvv-venlo-claim-over-michael-uchebo/
Agree4
Disagree1
We have no debt and a wage structure in place so we can sustain the benifets of having a big squad we dont do what what yous do hand big contracts to all your star players so yous can try flog them for big prices then when s**t hits the fan yous realise no1 wants them and cant afford to pay them was only a few month ago the wonderful craig whyte said he needed to cut wage bill by 7 mil so concern yourself with your own club please :-)
Agree2
Disagree1
Celtic are paying the wages of about 26 players. The rest are on loan.
Agree0
Disagree1
Haha,borrowed time.what a straw clutcher,wake up n smell the coffee! you are deeply in debt and thats not counting the tax case! if you win all appeals(and thats what it is) you will still have around 5m to pay.
Agree0
Disagree1
Celtic paying 26 players, p!sh, thay have 30 first team raegulars and big wage earners in the squad and 8 fringe players in it. They also have 8 plkayers out on loan, thats 46 in total, Im certain this will be celtics biggest squad ever. Three years without CL football and a squad this size, yet they make a token £100,000 profit, my a*se. Their wage bill was 9 million more than us the year before last, ours is being cut and theirs is growing. I think they may even be double what ours will be this year. It was 56% of their turnover two seasons ago including one CL qualifier and a UEFA group run, their turnover has decreased every year since. There is no McGeady ect transfer windfall to balance the books this year, despite NL openly stating at press conferences that at least 4 of his player must be in the 10 million pound "bracket" this year to try and generate sales. So in my opinion things are not as rosey as the board like to feed to their fans.
Agree2
Disagree2
Hoodbhoy do you have inside info to back your claims ? Word on the street is that celtic owe dd at least 10 million, which he would want back one day, whilst you are being spoon fed all this c**p ask yourself this one question. where is all this money Celtic keep telling us about ?.
Agree0
Disagree1
Celtic turnover 2011 - £52.6 Million.
Rangers turnover first 6 months 2011 - £33.7 Million.
Celtic wage bill 2010 - £36.5 Million.
Rangers wage bill 2010 - £21 Million.
Its not hard to work out who is heading in the right direction financially and who isnt bears.
Ritchie712
Agree1

Michael uchebo? dont think he knocked us back, the guys a mercenary whos looking for a lot more than hes worth, you cant knock back something thats not offered to you! thats why rangers papped him back on the next available flight! all im saying is if im a player and looking at getting to one of the big 2 in scotland then it would be celtic, as rangers are skint, awaiting outcome of a possible crippling tax case and an owner that has failed on his promises and conducts his business in a very dodgy manner! Willybhoy
Agree1
Disagree0
Dont talk shyte Ritchie its not as if as its an optional thing. Rangers have had no choice but to cut the wage bill.
You can see the Celtic accounts as they have been published.
Celtic's squad is too big but there are a few high earners out of contract in the summer: Loovens, Maj, Cha, Wilson etc which will lower the wage bill dramatically.
I think its fairly amusing that Rangers fans are coming on here and accusing Celtic of financial mis-management.
Agree2
Disagree1
Word on the street! are you having a laugh? word on edmiston dr is brace yourselves its a nightmare!

So at home to one of the worst form teams in the league tomorrow, looks like big Healy upfront on his own? Doesn't fill you with much confidence! I think we need a striker badly, how can people say they wouldn't take big boydy back? We could do with him tomorrow that's for sure!
Believable12
Unbelievable6
We shouldn't of let wee fleck go on loan!
Only have 1 Striker fit
Agree11

After watching Healy recently I'd rather leave him on the bench and bring McCoist on in place of him, couldn't be any worse. He's a dud, always was and always will be. Done nowt at his previous clubs.
Get Kerkar on, he'll do the biz, trust me.

Ed ( got a txt from my mate today saying David Murray taking back over Rangers as Whyte isn't doing what he promised.He went on to say it's a clause which was agreed when Whyte took over that's why he got it for £1.You heard anything.
Believable11
Unbelievable12
Would'nt be surprised
Agree4
Disagree5
You would think Murray would of put something in their contract? Surely he didn't just give CW the club an that's that? Bloody hope he never
Agree6
Disagree2
Not a chance. Why would David Murray get back into something he's been desperate to get out of for 6 years.
Agree8
Disagree2
Murray wanted to sell because of the tax case, why would he get it back now even if he could, when the tax case is still not resolved. One dose of Murray is enough thanks, please remember it is him that has put us in this position. Should be being lambasted for his handling, not welcomed back
Agree4
Disagree3
David murrays companies as i'm sure ur all aware have been recession hit and he is no longer worth hundreds of millions so talk of him coming back is just nonsense. u have a short memory, this guy is the reason we are in the mess we're in!
Agree6
Disagree2
He always quoted that he would only sell to the right man.
Agree3
Disagree0
Perhaps agreed that whyte would take over during the tax case and slash costs everywhere and put club into admin if case lost. Then Murry would buy back at a profit to whyte if tax case won?
I would guess not though seems far too far fetched and illogical.
More likely he had a doctors appointment.
But it's cause we a goan bust an losing all our titles you know.
Agree3
Disagree1
People go on about short memories, David Murray put us in this situation etc yes he probably did but I don't think deliberately. No one one complaining or predicting the future was going to go in recession during the good times of world class players, world class training facilities the stadium getting corners filled in and screens added. All of which made us a great club in Everyones eyes. Then recession hit like every walk of life. I think people should look at what he done for this great club and maybe look at the positives when thinking of sir David Murray. I'm sure if he could have predicted the future he'd had done everything a little different but would we as rangers FANS have been happy. Probably not. Rangers have given us great times and great bragging rights over Celtic through the years. Let's remember them and back them now when they need the support more than ever. I'm not saying back whyte. So come todays game why not stand up and be counted instead of waiting for a Celtic game to be the twelfth man. It's about time we started supporting the team again. If the streets be broad or narrow we shall follow on. Have a think lads.
Agree4
Disagree0
Well said!!! Let's makes some noise at the game today. Even in the club deck! Lol

MIH are around 700m in debt and lloyds are running the show like they did with rangers why would murray jump in now? makes no sense

Nothing was said about Jim McColl, for god sake we cant even get a rumour right

Only 1 player with possibility of moving on contract with fee, jelavic , there are possibly 3 possibly 4 other squad players with possibility of loan movement out of Murray park not all household names either, there are also more trialsit's due to Murray park before deadline day as ally is taking the chance to decide which players so

Just been speaking with an old neighbour of mine in Gidea Park (just outside Romford), who used to play for West Ham and is still connected to the club.
Rangers have agreed a deal with West Ham to sell Jelavic.
Rangers want the transfer completed on Sunday which West Ham have agreed to as West Ham's next game is not until Tuesday. West Ham only agreed if Rangers didn't play Jelavic this Saturday against Hibs.

Jelavic knows hes more likely to get into a better team or get a better offer in the next transfer window because he knows he can show off more talent with croatia than rangers (croatia play 100x better football). its in his best interests to stay here until the next season begins because his good performance in the euros will get him more wages and a bigger team to play for in the EPL.
Believable5
Unbelievable3
He rarely starts for croatia.

Trouble is he is 3rd choice striker.

I think he will get played alot actually, when u look at their strikers, if he plays consistantly well for rangers towards the end of the season he will get started alot.

No chance he will play before olic petric or eduardo

He has only scored 2 goals for Croatia and both were in friendlys , I hardly think he is on fire for his country .

Olic doesnt even get in the lineup for some crazy reason, petric is s**t enough now that jelavic on form is better than him
Agree0

Croatia play with a target man and a nippy striker.
Mandžukic is the target man and he is a lot better than Jelly, only 25 as well so apart from injuries to this guy Jelavic isnt going to get a look in.

More nonsense, the tax case will result in massive liabilities for RFC. McColl has already said that at best he would be willing to help structure a share issue for fans. there wont be a fairy godfather I guess it's time for the fans to step up
Agree5
Disagree2
No doubt those that worship at the altar of the RFC Tax Case Blog will pray this is a 'tame' media spin, but I thought the comments by Hugh Keevins & Jim Delahunt were interesting. There was an implication that Mr McColl might pick the pieces if the tax case forces the club into administration.
Gives hope of possibilities through these difficult times and will send the crowers from the east into a frenzy as they call for the Gers to be deducted, in the interest of fairness you understand, 20 points a season for the next 50 years.

This is unsubstantiated rubbish! Jim McColl has already stated that he has no interest in investing. Why on earth would he?...because he' s a "True Blue"? Utter balls...the mans a huge success in terms of business, and what we are asking someone to do is take anything between £50-£100 million! and basically set alight to it...because thats where the scottish game is right now...give it 5years the entire SPL will be part time!

I can't remember the last time I saw Wallace put a decent ball into the box.
If you think Boyd was fat and lazy when he left, after not having played for months, you can imagine what he is like now.
What we are missing up front is pace and Boyd sure as hell ain't gonna give you that.

No what were missing is goals not pace you can run as fast as u want all day it wont win u a game goals win

More lies from McCoist its wearing pretty thin now, Jelavic not playing as he has played his last game for the club. NO ONE else will come in, Celik the only arrival for us. All the trialists are just smoke and mirrors to try to please us and when Jela goes last min all the excuses will be rolled out. I personally dont blame McCoist but its maybe time he grew a set and told the truth.
Believable14

Here goes, no Jelavic tomorrow,gives us the chance to prove we will survive,and even prosper without Jelavic,good player that he is,we need to move on if he leaves,other players have to up their game,i still fancy a Gers win,albeit,hard fought .

Wow!gordon smith sure is a great director of football operations.well worth the money in these austere times.
Agree2

Whyte doesnt care whether we buy the " last minute sale" thing or not, for some reason he holds us in contempt. He should maybe start to realise we are all in this together and a bit of honesty and respect towards us would go a long way. If he just came out and said due to current circumstances we cant sign anyone as we cant put the long term future of the club into jeopardy, at least we could understand . 1 or 2 seasons without silverware (although not ideal) is a lot better than no club or even a club with a different name. The others had many a season without a trophy but they came through it, it is our turn now and we WILL come through it.

Ed whats the scoop with jaager, claros and bruins? not heard anything in a few days. everyone's raving about bruins on forums but i dont think we need another midfielder. i'd say our priorities should be removing the dead wood, (broadfoot, mackay, bedoya, ortiz) to free up wages and maybe bring in a few boys in the summer if we've any money. still Ed whats the latest? {Ed014's Note - Claros has went home,so has Jaager.Bruins is still here as far as I know.

Totally agree remember he engineered the move to Ibrox with a view to eventually getting a move to EPL. I dont think West ham is his desired destination but Liverpool not interested.

27 Jan 2012 16:24:50
If an offer of 7 million was actually made then we were daft not to accept it and give Ally something, no matter how little, to work with. Lets not forget Jelavic cost 4 million 18 months ago when he played in Austria, i don't see Scotland being a huge step up from the Austrian league so an increase in valuation from 4 million to 10 million after 18 months isn't justified imo. Don't get me wrong the guy has ability but guys like Defoe and Crouch go for around 10 million down south and they are established EPL goalscorers. I would much rather see us go and bring in another striker from the SPL like Johnny Russell or Jamie Murphy who would give us 100% rather than keep hold of a player that didn't want to be here. What we lose in quality, we'd make up for in effort. Plus we have Celik (or Mervan) to come in maybe he can do us a turn.
J1985
Believable7

Well made point. Newcastle have just brought in Papiss Demba Cisse for £9m and Man Utd brought Hernandez for £6m. Clubs are looling for value for money and £10m for Jelavic isn't that. He has no pace, something that EPL clubs want.
Agree10
Disagree4
I see ur logic but Jelavic was "cutprice" and has improved so i say that trouble his price
Agree3
Disagree6
Listen we all new the trouble we were in we should of sold jelavic for 9mill wen it was offered in the summer - we no he ain't worth more we new he wasn't going to get another contract so as time goes by his price goes down( unless his forms great which it ain't) it's just another example of the tools we have at the club doing bains job. Say what you want about Bain but if he was still here we'd be in much better shape in these windows
Agree4

I agree with the person that commented before, as a Newcastle fan as well as Rangers Fan, yea that's what the premier league needs

I agree, Jelavic does not have pace and he always put out a live advertisement to EPL clubs when we were in europe that he struggled I know it's not just on him we went out but he did have a few clear cut chances and in europe that's all you get.

Was always on the cards as it is the one and most important area of the team where we have been short in numbers since the start of the season,which prompts the question just why did the club continue to sign wide players at the start of the season (who dont get a game and ignore the main striking area)

with wylde and aluko on the wings, and edu, mcculloch and davis centre

And our chairman who made the promise of cash up front when he bought the club,will still expect us to win the league despite the lack of goalscorers/and lack of finance is not the only excuse/a better choice of player than Ortiz and Bedoya in terms of ability and positionally could have solved the shortage in the striking positions

Vienna have received the full fee from rangers, this was confirmed a couple of months ago. And there is no % sell on clause either
Agree9

There is no sell on fee for jela, dont listen to all these idiots who think they know the players contract, they dont! smith said when he signed him in 2010 that the deal was help up because rapid wanted a sell on clause and rangers were not going to entertain that idea. If jela goes which i dont think he will tbh, we will get all the money from his transfer as profit, however, if we sign these players u mentioned, besides from being disappointed in the calibire of player we are signing, the profit would be very little once signing fees, agent fees etc come off they transfers

Can't see anywhere that Vienna said that.All they said was that the late payment had been made,no outstanding issues.All that means is at that time the payments were upto date.

I think some of you would do good to remember Jelavic has not once asked for a transfer, We are trying to make money out of him due to financial situation. The guy has been a good buy for us and helped win us the league last year, so give the guy a break and support the team. WATP

Jelavic not asked for a transfer. Give us a break. He's done the next best thing and went about it sneakily. Saying Man U were after him in the summer for £13m (chortle, chortle) and now using his father to link him with Liverpool. I'd respect him more if he was honest and admitted he wants a move.

Just coz the times says it dosnt make it true

The way i see it, if u want to buy a player and bring him into your market, then you must be willing to pay your market price, now in england 10m for jella is about right, if jella played with newcastle for instance and liverpool wanted him, they would pay about 18m... so why should scottish teams sell on the cheap? i have never understood this, for years and years english teams come up here and take our best players for pennys, and then 10 games in their value doubles to the epl value... well now it ends, and im glad CW is not budging over the price, you want him, pay up or shut up. Great stuff

Why is everyone saying that jelavic isn't worth 10m? If celtic think that hooper is worth well over 10m then surely jelavic is too. They have identical stats. And with better players i think jelavic would be a good signing for any team in the higher position in the epl. Is everyone telling me that grant holt is a better all round player than jelavic? No chance and he is playing for a team that is 8/9th in the epl.
Big sqaash.
Agree1

Neither is worth 10 but Celtic can afford to ask for it, Rangers cant.
Rangers are desperate to sell because they need the money, why else would they have hired an agent to pimp him around any club who can afford him?
Every club knows this so they will wait and take him at a knock down price at the end of the window.
And before you start it has already been confirmed that they hired an agent to try and sell him.

Uchebo's Rangers trial ends in confusion
Posted: 2012-01-27 13:34
Michael Uchebo's trial at Glasgow Rangers came to an end after just one day, with conflicting reports from the player, his club VV Venlo and Rangers.
The Nigerian arrived in Glasgow on Wednesday hoping for a five-day trial, and took part in his first session at Murray Park on Thursday.
But that was to be his last.
His agent Tony Harris claims the player cut short his trial due to a poor first impression of the club, but Rangers claim manager Ally McCoist was not impressed and will not sanction a move.
"Michael was invited to come over by Ally McCoist," Harris told reporters. "When he got there, McCoist wasn't there.
"Michael didn't enjoy his Rangers experience. He didn't feel at home and wasn't comfortable.
"The player informed Rangers he didn't want to return to training. Michael will now look at other options."
But other reports claim it was McCoist's decision to turn down the player after one day of training.
And in a further twist, Venlo's Managing Director Hans Soentjens told reporters the club had reached a verbal agreement for a £1m transfer for the big forward.
"Rangers really really want him.
"We have reached a verbal agreement with them over a price. We are simply awaiting the outcome of a medical before completing the deal."
Uchebo, who played for Enugu Rangers two seasons ago, currently earns £8000 a week at Venlo and is looking to improve those earnings.

With all these players coming in on trial does anyone know who invites them. Is it Ally or Smith surely Ally knows who he wants to get in. My feeling is getting players on trial is a PR stunt to make it look like we are actively looking for players when everyone knows we dont have the cash to spend.
Ally not meeting this Uchebo would suggest to me that he didnt have anything to do with his trail. Whats the thoughts folks.

Who does this character think he is, VW Venlo or whatever they are called must have some stadium and some training facilities if they impressed him that much to sign with them, he must enjoy playing in front of 8000 (if that) every week and winning hehaw,

uchebo cuts short his trial at rangers because of first impression of club he didnt like it and dosent feel he is wanted ally mccoist wasnt even there to greet him just start to fink was it allys choice to take him or someone elses?ally has to start giving the fans some answers and start telling us the truth or he should walk.

I blame Ally for the crap football (but Walter Smith was his mentor so not really a surprise). But these tranfser fiascos seem to come from over his head so I feel a bit sorry for him having to put his name to this never ending list of has beens and under acheivers, having said that if he had played McKay, Bedoya etc maybe Whyte and G Smith would see what you get in the "bargain" basement of football, BTW where are Whyte and G Smith ? they're unusually quiet considering all this transfer activity

Rangers take Michael Uchebo on week long trial with view to a 1million deal with his club VVV-Venlo
6'7" powerful and skillful 20 year old, could be a good buy but have they any money?
maybe this is the 1mill ally gets out of the 1mill we will get for the jellyman....

just read that there is a fee agreed for this deal two go threw if player impresses Glasgow Rangers have been tracking Uchebo for a while and have decided to pounce since he will be out of contract at the end of this season.
Also, a transfer fee less than £1 million has been agreed between VVV-Venlo and Rangers for the 21-year-old forward in case he impresses the Ibrox chief.
The possibility of a deal for Uchebo is also tied to securing a work permit. and there linked with kalu uche aswel both nigerian.

Can someone please tell me why we have this hondurian guy on trial at ibrox?. His manager said they would want 800000 pnds for us to get him , so why bother?. I am getting really sick of all these trialists coming and going everyday, then when mcoist finds one that's any good (jageer), we can't afford the 3500 a week he's looking for. Pennyboy

get rid of jelavic for £8m+, get boyd and hamdi salihi, bags of goals between them. get that uchebo guy who is on trial as he is big, strong and young. start involving youth more ( mccabe etc. ) and get rid of dead wood such as broadfoot, healy, ortiz etc thereby freeing up wages for WHEN we win the tax case and mr whyte gets his chance to prove himself.

Uchebo's away he never returned to trainin as he wasn't impressed with what he saw

Thats uchebo cut short his trial today as well theres obviously something very wrong going on if two players have decided to end it after only one day maybe they fot the impression we had no intention of making the moves permanent and are using them to make it look like we are trying to get players in to apease our long suffering fans.

If that is true i hope we have his replacement lined up, at that sort of money he will be O F F
100% profit is a too good a return on any investment to turn down
Would be interesting to see how much of that would be commited to buying another sriker as well and it would put an end to all the garbage that is flying around about CW's commitment one way or another
Notice i said would, as this is just a rumour

Ed wats ur opinion on the McKay situation... Have him an coisty fell out ? {Ed001's Note - I don't know mate, I have been trying to find out what the hell has happened there. I believe he would have been on the bench regularly but for the age ruling, that is apparently the reason he kept getting left out. But it seems he wants to play, not just sit around collecting pay packets, McCoist isn't of the opinion he is the right player. The rumour I was told, but I am not sure I believe it, is that he was bought to replace Davis, who was expected to be sold but the deal never materialised. So the club got stuck with both, though Ally only needed and wanted one.}
Believable3

Thanks ... Most reasonable reason I've heard anyway.. {Ed001's Note - yeah, but I get the impression it was a rumour made up to suit someone's theory, rather than based on any evidence. So I am extremely dubious about it.}

Least it's semi rational.. Although don't think we got any bids for Davis that I can mind anyway. You would think the club would say it's not like we are shy about airing our not dirty but filthy laundry these days ! Paulmac

Would it not be an idea to rest davis as he aint playing that well to see if indeed mckay can fill his boots ?

The rumours doesn't make sense. Surely with the team being threadbare Ally would've liked to have both in case of injuries?

As a celtic fan i heard the davis rumour when mckay was bought.it was concerning aston villa,then mcleish was told they had no cash either. green jhedi

Sick of hearing about Jelavic, either they sell him or they don't, could get Samuel Eto in for all it matters, we have negative central midfield & wide men who are either full backs or s**te at crossing. For a forward to score he needs supply and none of them (Jelly, Healy, Lafferty) get any decent support. Mckay out as mccoist prefers grinders in midfield, Ortiz & Bedoya just ain't cutting it. Serious doubts about Mccoist for tactics & seems to look after his mates, also heard several times over last few months that Whyte doesn't rate him either, previous board gave him contract, not Whyte & can't attract anyone else in our predicament.
