McLaughlin and wright to be freed. No pay off.

Fair enough. Would neither not command even a small fee though?


2.) 02 May 2023

Ibrox I would have said yes, but likely to be balanced out by not paying wages to them, puts both in a good position to negotiate deal wa new club.

Positive championship clubs where asking about wright January. would definitely get least 500k be stupid just paying off.


4.) 02 May 2023
02 May 2023 12:55:30
You would think we could’ve got 500k for them.


5.) 02 May 2023

Hopefully this is the start of a major clearance.


6.) 02 May 2023

Ibrox, I'm delighted to get both off the books, our wage bill is far too high.


7.) 02 May 2023
02 May 2023 13:43:42
Prob do deserve a small fee but we need to free up wages and fast to allow others in.


8.) 02 May 2023
02 May 2023 13:57:08
Why would they agree to no pay off though?


9.) 02 May 2023

Surprised that Wright is not sold for a small fee, McLaughlin should never have been given a new contract.


10.) 02 May 2023

The 'small fee' will be the equivalent of no pay off.
More to come I suspect of 'letting go' rather than sales.


11.) 02 May 2023

Good move - not good enough but they can now get a signing on fee from another club to compensate for reduced salaries.


12.) 02 May 2023
02 May 2023 14:24:01
I would have thought we should be looking for some sort of fee for scott wright ?.


13.) 02 May 2023
02 May 2023 14:29:01
Thought their were English clubs in for wright? Even if they go for free its better than a payoff.


14.) 02 May 2023
02 May 2023 14:41:33
Ok with them being freed doubt we would get much of a fee. But just make it a stipulation if the club that takes them on sell them within the length of the contract they would have had at rangers then we get a cut.


15.) 02 May 2023
02 May 2023 14:47:34
Ibrox4 I was thinking the same ref wright at least but maybe that’s been explored already and answer is no. freeing up those weekly wages asap might stand us in better stead for making signings.


16.) 02 May 2023

They're probably getting more here than they can get anywhere else so unwilling to move. Their sign on bonuses will cover lost earnings no doubt. Works for all parties.


17.) 02 May 2023
02 May 2023 15:33:31
Well that’s 2 and counting.


18.) 02 May 2023
02 May 2023 15:33:47
Might be a daft question John, but surely they wouldn't agree to have their deals ripped up if there was no financial inducement to do so?


19.) 02 May 2023
02 May 2023 16:21:03
Still Blue I’m presuming they probably have clubs sniffing. So why wait for fees to be discussed and for it to maybe drag. Suits both parties I think.


20.) 02 May 2023
02 May 2023 16:33:30
Mike because they r then free to negotiate their own signing on fee.
Still blue the inducement is the buying club/ / / / don’t pay a signing on fee

Windy three/ four if u count sands and helander.

I'll never know why we signed Wright in the first place, never Rangers quality.


22.) 02 May 2023
02 May 2023 16:57:22
Coully I believe both players are on around 7.5 k each. So could save us nearly 800k.

Would easily get that in championship.

A fee for Scott wright You got to be kidding. A couple of ginger bottles will do.


24.) 02 May 2023
02 May 2023 17:10:09
Correct mark he was even Aberdeen quality.


25.) 02 May 2023
02 May 2023 17:32:16
Think Scott Wright would have offered more than Kent this season.


26.) 02 May 2023
02 May 2023 19:01:48
Could it be McLaughlin and Wright out and Kelly and McKay in?

Would that make our squad stronger?


27.) 02 May 2023
02 May 2023 19:25:29
Orange tinted wouldn't be hard mate.


28.) 02 May 2023
02 May 2023 19:42:56
Ehl definitely not imo, Kelly not as good as McLaughlin.


29.) 02 May 2023

Given the state of play regarding players contracts and the lack of players around the 25-28 mark, it's clear for everyone to see how bad our DOF was at his job.
Absolutely no way should we have been in this situation whereby 10 first team players are out of contract at same time yet we have very few players if any to fill the void and we spunked £8m on Davies and Yilmaz.

Cost about £200k but just freeing up the wages I guess, better going towards someone who will improve the first team. Good move.
