I have been advised no incomes are expected between now and deadline, DoF Ross Wilson is satisfied with the squad, Gio is also satisfied.

Club were in negotiations with Liege for Nicolas Raskin however Liege wish for £5m, the board don’t see the value in paying £5m for a player they can get for free in January.

Club will also look to activate the buy options on Sands (£4m) and Tillman (£5m), money has been ring fenced for this.

The out of court agreement the club came to with SDI (Mike Ashley) is also substantial, believe it to be in the region of £7m, club were likely to lose £11.4m including legal fees if this wasn’t made.

The cost of New Edminston House stands at £10m.

So yes, whilst the club have brought in very welcome income this season. The reality is the vast majority of this is already budged for and therefore there is little wiggle room for additional signings to be made.

5 million for Tillman… where u hearing this from.

That is absolute nonsense and totally incorrect.

If any of the above is factual then (i) The Ashley Settlement that you refer to will be shown presumably in our Annual Accounts; (ii) we will hear from the Club regarding the cost of the New Edmonton House.
When will we finalise the purchase of Sands and Tillman
If we are so short of funds, why on Earth did we spend money on Matondo who is simply not suited to Scottish Football. We might as well have given Usain Bolt a contract!

Worrying not bringing in anymore attackers if Colak Kent Tillman or Lawrence get injured before Buff or Hagi return we’re absolutely stuffed as anyone waiting in the wings isn’t near the standard we need especially in Europe. Don’t think I’ve seen anyone lose the ball more than I did with Scott Wright against PSV. Matondo has shown glimpses but ultimately more bad moments than good and Fash the less said the better. Will see what happens but what seemed like a promising window has come to a bit of a crash at the end can’t see us keeping up with that lot across the city when they’ve got people coming off the bench providing genuine numbers and ours more often than not turn the game for the worse. Got to keep the faith but stevie wonder can see the weaknesses in our squad and going into the season with them is not a good thing. Would even test Hearts reserve on Barrie McKay and bring him back.

The elephant in the room 40 million for cl? Surely we can get another player in and how could they be trying to get another player but in the same breath say they are happy with the squad.

Sorry the club wouldn't have budgeted for CL so surely that gives dome room also what where they looking to pay for the lad from Liege? Do we have no other targets. Are we only looking at midfielders. It doesn't add up to me.

Why use buy back options in this window? Surely that could wait until Jan. What about players entering final year of there deals. Are talks ongoing. Are the club happy to have guys able to sign pre contracts in Jan.

We will bring in someone tomorrow, personally hope it’s Barkley thing he could be terrific for us despite what the Ed… says… his loan to Villa he was a standout … other guys are major gambles for the cash being talked about… Evander … if that good would not be with a mid table team….

Advised by the numerous interviews or press conferences in which Gio has already stated that he’s happy with the squad?

You've been advised hee haw. The money ringfenced gor Tillman and Sands was pre CL qualification.

We've let go maybe 4 starters in
Bassey
Aribo
Balogun
Itten

Brought in
Davies
Lawrence
Souttar
Colak
Tilman
Matondo
Yilmaz

Think 4 out 7 in for guys that actually play for first team not counting the guys that never get a sniff its pretty decent business.

Kent is expected to sign a new deal, will be a 3yr extension. Alfredo meanwhile is 50/ 50, deal was on the table however the club removed this offer, Alfredo is now unhappy with this and wants to leave, club have made it clear, he will not leave this window and told him to buck up his ideas. In his current situation, we would be lucky for £5m, club see better value in keeping him till January after a good few months of form and getting a similar fee then.

Re Sands and Tillman, the club had budgeted this in the 2023/ 24 transfer budget however club are looking at the possibility of sanctioning these transfers in January as such the £5m for Tillman and £4m for Sands has been ring fenced for the 2022/ 23 budget.

SDI (Mike Ashley) deal was settled out of court for a total of £7m. Advice was that the club would have lost this battle and as such the £7m settlement was reached, lower than the likely £11.4m however with this SDI have exclusive rights to sell Rangers items and castore have also agreed to give them exclusive rights.

Bassey1, just to clarify, we do not get £40m for UCL, will likely be around £30m at most. To achieve the £40m we would need to win every game in the group stage.

Berkshire I'd give the boy matondo a shot on the left played great there v stjohnstone and his favoured position don't get why we always buy guys and play them out of position.

I'm led to believe the price we'd have to pay bayern munich for tillman was set at £1.3million if we do indeed take up that permanent option, which i would definitely hope/ think we will do?I don't know where the previous poster heard it's £5million we'd need to pay?.


18.) 01 Sep 2022

It's also definately not an exclusive right to the merchandise for sports direct considering jd are still selling.

Everyone keeps saying to pay the money for sands and tillman NOW. Petty sure there will be a clause stating it can be done at the END of the loan deal ?‍♂️.

Very poor if true from the in two senses: 1, poor financial management if they gambled the expenses you have quoted on champions league money and 2, our squad needs improvement, especially in attacking areas.

Bassey how are we getting 40 million for champs league To get close to 40 million we need to top the league and win every game in this section.

Orange tinted no one is saying pay now. We are saying the money to purchase is already put aside. Huge difference mate.

RFC you are wrong about Buff, he does not want to leave.

100 percent people have said to pay the money for sands and tillman on here. Not trolling through the pages to prove my point. They definitely have tho.

We have already made well over 10million with the psv and usg games and guaranteed 30million from group so we have banked over 40m as it stands.
