Evening fellow bears, been out in Dubai for the last few weeks so not posted in a while. Now I'm back all I can say is told you not to worry you fairweather supporters, ye of little faith, giving coisty and mr Whyte grief.
Yaaaassss Another captain America at the brox again. Like the look of Bedoya too. maybe now Edu has a couple of pals at ibrox he'll settle down and play the football he is capable of.

The futures bright, the futures red whyte and blue

How much did we pay for bocanegra and bedoya? Still think bedoya move was pointless just now when we can get him for free in january. Anyways glad we made signings. Just need a decent striker now? I think it will be a loan signing from EPL.

I think we should get
Jacobsen Free
McKay £325k
Biseswar Dont know price
A Striker
So Ortiz(500k)+Wallace(£1.5m)+Goian(£800k)+Bartley(loan)+Bedoya(£400k)=£3.3m+£325k=£3.625m

And Sell
Broadfoot £200k

team is looking great now for tomorrow night.

mcgregor

ortiz davis edu ness
naismith jelivac

bench: alexander, mcculloch, little, fleck, broadfoot, beattie.


what do you think guys?

Believable1 Unbelievable4

I think we might be in a spot of bother if we play Whittaker
think edu will play there with maybe Jig taking his place in midfield

Agree0 Disagree0

Sure is Whittaker not still out with broken toe?

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry meant healy not beattie

Agree0 Disagree0

Do u follow rangers whittaker is suspended

Agree0 Disagree0

Bad bad bad whity is suspended my choice is a nice 4-5-1 mcgregor edu goian bocanegra wallace ortiz hutton davis ness naisy jelavic what do u guys think

Agree0 Disagree0

Well considering edu and Whittaker are suspended - not a good team at all lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry forgot whitty was suspended, that means broadfoot will be there instead. cheers for the dissapointment hehehe

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Aug 2011 23:11:18
Ok with Bedoya, Bocanegra and McKay in all we need now is a proven goalscorer to partner Jelavic and the return of Weiss and 4IAR here we go I'd also let Fleck and Little out on loan

Squad
McGregor, Alexander
Whittaker,Broadfoot, Papac, Wallace, Goian, Weir
Bocanegra, Bartley,
Davis, McCulloch,Ness, Edu, Bedoya, McKay,Ortiz, Weiss, Hutton, Wylde,
Jelavic, New striker, Lafferty, Naismith, Healy

Believable4 Unbelievable1

We only signed little on a one year extension so would be pointless sending him on loan. I'd give him a shot as a striker with Jela and Naisy at left mid

Do any of use think that since we have another two American's signed up then it will bring the best out of Maurice Edu?

Can people stop moaning about Whyte now? Since arriving he has signed our best players on long term contracts. This Summer we have signed; Ortiz, Goian, Wallace, Bartley (loan) Bedoya, McKay and Bocanegra. That is seven signings and I am convinced there will be more to come.

GovanFR

Believable4 Unbelievable3

There must be an infestation of moths in whytes office after he opened his wallet.

Agree0 Disagree0

Not just yet, GovanFR. Wee bit more quality needed and more importantly to qualify and then I think a lot of us can chill out and calm the heads regarding Whyte.

Agree0 Disagree0

Aye, seven signings, but no big names, which is fair enough if he hadn't acted the c***, and 'kidded on' we were in the market for top drawer players when we are not.....these guys might be decent enough, but it's just about numbers for the squad just now....does this mean Bartley will play centre mid when he's fit, because we have Boca, Goian, Bartley, Weir, Broadfoot, Papac,Perry who can all play CB

Agree0 Disagree0

Personally think we've got to give the new signings a bit of time, wen Septic signed a million players last year had anyone really heard of Izzaguire or Kayal, but look at them now, we would probably take both of them if given the chance and they will undoubtedly fetch a decent sum when they move on, so come give the newbies a chance

Agree0 Disagree0

We won't get big name signings unless they are willing to take huge paycuts, there is no way players will be coming in and breaking the wage structure anymore.

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree with the above, but that is why we shouldn't go in with silly offers, because when it all comes to the table, we won't pay the transfer fee, and now CAN'T pay high wages

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Aug 2011 22:50:40
2 signings in the one day.....the whyte knight must be having a nose bleed haha.....the squad is gettin together brothers and for me there were signs of the team starting to gel they way they knocked the ball around for me all we need is a left mid ( a cheeky bid for weiss on the last day of the window will do nicely) and a striker for me anybody who will guarantee goals haha

Carlos bocanegra has signed and is set to play 2moro night. Gers facebook page and website. Ya beauty

Believable2 Unbelievable3

Why didn't we just stick to this quality and price of player from the beginning, instead of acting the c***, that we were in for multi million pound players, then at least we would have had them in and maybe have beaten a really poor team like Malmo, although to be honest, the players we had should have dealt with them comfortably........let's just stick to players we can afford instead of all the bull****.

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree, that is our range of player, so don't tell us any more lies Whyte, Take it that means Wallace was the marquee then......in fact, f*** knows what went on with that signing, i think Whyte and Vlad have pulled a stroke there, as i don't believe we could have paid 1.5m, after an opener of 300k, something odd with that one.

Rangers have completed the signing of Carlos Bocanegra from St Etienne.

The USA international defender has signed a three-year deal with the Ibrox club and could make his debut for Rangers against Maribor in the Europa League match in Slovenia on Thursday evening.

Fellow American Alejandro Bedoya, who was signed earlier in the day, had been expected to take the club's wildcard registration for the playoff tie but injuries to defenders in the squad saw Bocanegra take priority.

Are the American signings/targets a marketing ploy from Whyte?

It's one of the quickest emerging football following nations and they love to follow their Scottish roots.

McCoist said today just before 3 o'clock that there would be 'no imminent' arrivals before the europa league game against maribor. Then just over an hour later the Bedoya deal was finalised. Makes me wonder how 'in the loop' Gordon Smith and Whyte are keeping McCoist about transfers?

They are someone slagging off Bedoya already on the rumours page. The ink hasn't even dried yet on his contract and he's getting written off can you believe it Ed? Does anyone remember Claudio Reyna? Nobody had heard of him when he arrived and look how he turned out. He had two good years with us before his move to man city. Plus Rangers made a profit on him.

To the post above, firstly he is currently an international, and that league you say is worse just had their Champions put us out of CL ya c*ck

Your either a jumped up little tw*t fresh out of nappies thinking he knows it all or a 'fan' who's been 'supporting' the club too long, thinking you've seen it all and done it all. It's time you found a hobby and or ' supported' another club your not needed around here

BEDOYA IS BREAKOUT PLAYER OF GOLD CUP

American winger Alejandro Bedoya got quite the surprise a few weeks ago. In spite of regular call-ups to the national team, in which he showed very brief flashes of promise, he'd been left off the Gold Cup roster. Even Freddy Adu, whose career was still hurtling into the abyss, was included on the roster for the tournament.

So Bedoya, the 24-year-old New Jersey native who bolted for Orebro in Sweden rather than enter the 2009 MLS SuperDraft, did the next best thing. He booked a holiday to Barcelona with his girlfriend.

But on the eve of the United States' jam-packed June, in which it had scheduled a friendly against Spain and faced up to six Gold Cup games, U.S. midfielder Benny Feilhaber injured his right ankle in a game for his New England Revolution. Bedoya was called to report to the national team. Holiday cancelled.

But since the second game of the group stage, Bedoya started getting significant playing time and making fruitful substitutions. In the quarterfinals against Jamaica, he became a starter after Landon Donovan returned from a wedding the morning before the game. Bedoya performed so well that Donovan -- the team's superstar and best-ever player -- was kept out of the starting lineup for the semifinals. Now, for Saturday's final, there's every chance that Bedoya will retain Donovan's old slot on the right wing, forcing coach Bob Bradley to find somewhere else to deploy Donovan.

A talented but ineffective player for the national team until now, Bedoya has been a real spark plug. He's also the only American winger with a tendency to stay wide. In so doing, he's created room in the center for the likes of Clint Dempsey and Sacha Kljestan. Pairing well with veteran right back Steve Cherundolo by tracking back and devoting a lot of energy to closing down his turf, Bedoya has also helped made the right flank an unpopular route for opponents.

And for that, his teammates love him.

"He's been great," said goalkeeper Tim Howard. "We love his energy, his commitment; he gets up and down. He's kind of wiry and a bit awkward in a way. He wins a lot of headers, but is not the biggest guy. He wriggles past people, he's crafty, he's diligent on the defensive end, he pushes forward. He's been a boost for us."

"He's been a good addition," said Bradley. "His energy, his movement -- I think he's been sharp with the ball."

Assessing his own contribution, Bedoya thinks his energy has been the key to his game -- and the impetus for helping the U.S. turn the corner after a bumbling start to the tournament. "I think what we were missing the first couple of games in the group stage was to start the game off on the right note -- with the intensity and everything," he said. "I think I'm able to do that and I think it helps us get a better game overall, that we start with the fast pace and impose our game on the opponents."

But he, too, has been taken aback by the net contribution he has made.

"I was quite surprised," said Bedoya. "If I'm going to be quite honest, of course I was surprised. I didn't see it coming. I obviously wasn't included in the original roster, and to come in here and to do this? I definitely wasn't expecting that.

"It's kind of been ... I dunno, whatever you want to call it, a coming-out party I guess?" added Bedoya.

But the rest of the national team saw it coming.

"We've known about him for a while," said Cherundolo. "He's nothing new to me, I see him in practice every day."

"I think he's maybe not the surprise, but the breakout-player of the tournament," said captain Carlos Bocanegra. "Every time he's come into this camp he works hard, he's pushing it, always fighting for a starting position. He was always right there."

With Bedoya finally winning a starting position and making a real impact for the national team, there's really only been one victim: Bedoya's girlfriend, who missed out on her vacation.

"She's very understanding," Bedoya said with a smile. "From the moment we started dating she knew what my career was going to be like and that these things can happen. She's been a great sport."

Bedoya....the new jerome Rothan
{Ed047's Note - you're an expert on Bedoya? Have you seen him play? It takes a certain type of person to stand up and slate a player before he's had a chance to prove himself and in my opinion, that type of person is ....an idiot. If, after a season, he looks poor, then post again telling us he's the new Jerome Rothen. Until then I suggest you try actually SUPPORTING our players and stop your nonsense.

This is just a theory so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but I think the reason Whyte transferred our debt to his company rather than write it off was to protect our position and secure our long term future. It actually lessens the chances of administration.

Our last accounts valued our net assets at around £80 million (but the usual East End accountants told us that we had overvalued assets). In the event that we lost the tax case, went into administration and sold assets we would only recover a percentage of that sum as we wouldn't be able to hold out for the best price. Now HMRC is no longer ranked as a preferential creditor the order debts would be paid is determined by the order in which the debts were incurred. Any HMRC debt would not be fixed until the tribunal rules and therefore the debt transferred to Wavetower and any existing debts would be paid first (around £30 million). This is likely to mean HMRC will not be able to recover the full amount due to them and would be more likely to agree to a repayment program instead of pushing for administration.

Of course if this is right we can only hope that whoever negotiates with HMRC does a better job than our our transfer negotiations

Just want to welcome Bedoya to The Mighty Gers. I think this lad is a talent. Energetic, 2 good feet, can finish, similar build to Davis with low centre of gravity, hard to get off the ball, can play left or left of centre. AND he cost us next to nothing

Some people on here judge quality by the price tag If he cost 3 mill they would expect more, coz he is less he must be junk

As far as Im concerned this lad will be great in the SPL. Not sure what good it is to put a player right into a squad though on such a big game If Ally does I hope it works, and maybe just maybe some of you so called supporters will shut up for a couple of days

Mediocre plyer, but that is our type just now....not even as good as Conway who we let slip, or Chris Burke, or wee Nacho, but hey it's a body, suppose that'll need to do...thing is, we are now getting excited over players , who in the past would have struggled to get a game for the likes of Motherwell.

Agree0 Disagree0

How have you any idea on how good or bad the lad is, mind you when you mention Burke as one that got away it tells me how good a judge you are.

Agree0 Disagree0

How many International caps have Novo, Conway or Burke got between them??

Exactly.

Agree0 Disagree0

To the poster above

have you seen a lot of bedoya playing for orebro as you have called him a mediocre player or have you just seen him on youtube?
i am genuinely interested because I have only seen him on youtube where he has scored a few good goals, but as many people on here has said before youtube could make jimmy krankie in a full body cast look like the new pele.
just curious

Andy

Agree0 Disagree0

Bedoya is that good, he'll not even be a regular, all the same die hards are getting excited, same ones that pee'd their pants when Ortez was signed....we're dealing with league one class players now. we've let better go for free in the past

Agree0 Disagree0

To all the know alls on here shouting about Badoya........what position does he play? and who's place in the team does he take?

Agree0 Disagree0

Give the boy a chance ffs, he looks a decent player from YouTube and I bet in a few months he will be classed as a bargain, same to McKay. They are bother internationals and have pace, good delivery from set pieces and also score goals, certainly good additions to the midfield

Agree0 Disagree0

He can play centre-mid or wide on either flank. Like Davo.

Davo-McKay-Ness-Bedoya

I would swap davo 4 mckay. mckay can play left mid

i remember an interview with walter when the takover was just about to go through and he said that there was two transfer lists that ally had for this season.
a list for when the takeover was completed by whyte and a list if the takover fell through and the bank took full control and call in their debt.
now whyte has been pretty clever and said that he would front end between 5mill-15mill for transfers/wages/and resigning's , so he made it sound like he would go for it but has went with the cheaper(2nd) list
possibly put a bit extra into wallace deal and resignings
now im not slating the guy like some of the so called fans
but he is running his business like a business not like a hobby/toy like some teams down south.
(A business (also known as enterprise or firm) is an organization engaged in the trade of goods, services, or both to consumers.[1] Businesses are predominant in capitalist economies, in which most of them are privately owned and administered to earn profit to increase the wealth of their owners)
now wouldnt any of you go for a cheaper option if it done the same thing?
lets get behind ally,the team,craig whyte and each other and make sure #4 come back and not to the darkside.

17 Aug 2011 17:20:42
John Fleck going on loan to Blackpool will move along now that Bedoya is signed. I've said for 2 years now that if Fleck isn't given the chance in his correct position, that he will end up doing a Charlie Adam and leaving to fulfill his potential elsewhere.

It's ok saying, "he's been pish" but how many REAL chances has he had in his best position behind a striker? 1 or 2 15-20 minute appearances.

If Ness, Wylde or Hutton have a couple of bad games everyone puts it down to there age, but Fleck has a bad game he gets hounded. That's down to idiots saying he would be our Wayne Rooney, which was never going to be the case. That's not Flecky's fault.

The problem is Walter didn't just keep playing him when he first broke through and was running riot in games.

Moyes done it with Rooney at 17, Fergie done it with Scholes, Becks, Giggs, Butt, and the 2 Neville's at 17/18. Leeds done it with Milner. So with the ability and potential Fleck was showing at 17, why didn't Walter do it with him?

The lad has had unfair pressure on him from 14 and expectations through the roof. None of which is his fault.

So if he's going on loan, I hope he does well because he'll flourish under Holloway and his brand of football.

Hopefully he'll come back a fitter and a better player and Ally will notice how much of a gem he really is.

If not, he will come back to bite us.

Good luck to him, he's got a massive career ahead of him... I just hope it's with Rangers.

What you think Ed(s)? {Ed001's Note - I think he just needs a good run in his natural position, I just worry it will have come too late and his head won't be in it any more.}

It is far too early to be claiming Whyte has an ulterior motive for buying into Rangers; so people feel he has not spent enough or handled himself with dignity in the transfer market - its more likely he is inept rather than conspiring to reap any benefit from Rangers demise. This will be a huge learning curve for himself, McCoist and Gordon Smith; we should at least wait until Christmas before calling for their heads.

Whyte has not helped his cause through his seldom but useless press releases. He never actually said he would give McCoist an extra 15m to spend - that was just the media. He issued a press release saying he would help McCoist in the transfer market and make some extra funds if he felt it was necessary. The paper, Sunday Mail I believe, ran with the headline that he would increase the budget too 15m. Now everyone is asking where the 15m went and suggesting that he is lying to us. He was never going to give that much to McCoist, but he also never claimed he was. He always just implied that he would give him more and the press speculated the amount and it has totally backfired on him. The truth is likely that McCoist has a small budget to deal with and has had little to no luck in the transfer market.

The most annoying thing about this summer has been the shockingly low transfer bids we have offered. Whoever is responsible should hang their head in shame. But it is nothing more than stupidity on their part - there is no conspiracy or ulterior motive. Let us not forget that Murray also used this tactic with the same amount of success as Whyte. He offered roughly 400,000 for Mcdonald, which Motherwell laughed out in the January before he moved to Celtic in the summer for about 1m. He did the same with Riordan and Scott Brown. Murray also offered Kilmarnock pittance for Naismith in the beginning in a saga that took until the last day of that transfer saga. It was the same with Jelavic and likely countless others. In recent years Rangers have had to offer low bids in the hope to get players on the cheap. I appreciate that it is frustrating to hear us bid for players usually 50% of their valuation and the tactic has not worked. The problem is that Whyte's money is tied up in his assets plus he is not just going to invest 15-20m in transfers when there is little possibility of him getting that back, especially in the short term. He has too balance the budget and run it as a business not a hobby like Murray did the late 80's and 90's which got us into this mess.

I feel that Whyte expected us to make the Champions League and was holding out for a nice financial windfall from UEFA to balance his transfer spending. Without it he will likely make a significant loss if he allows McCoist to buy anyone else. Let us not get too negative and cynical and at least give Whyte a chance - he did choose to buy us despite a large debt, a HMRC investigation and with little to no financial reward for doing so. He deserves our support at the moment.

People may not agree with me but I feel this is a pretty fair assessment. I currently reside in Maine, USA so maybe I don't see the whole picture but still think he deserves a chance.

Graeme

Believable5 Unbelievable0

Great post Graeme, i hope you're right about the learning curve, but as you mentioned, the way business has been conducted is deplorable, and Whyte is no novice, so this 'should not' have happened, it only makes it tougher for him, the club, and the fans......the only thing i will say, is that when Gordon Smith said that the fans are not happy about the lack of signings, but at the results, i felt this was another chink in the armour, as he had a go at McCOIST, this sort of stuff doesn't happen at Rangers.......i hope you are right, and it all pans out, but i'm not overly confident.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi Graeme. I hope I could join you in Maine, just so I could get away from this rain in Scotland. You are one of the few that posts reasonable chat. Well structured and I agree with you (biased). I am surprised someone would buy Rangers in their current predicament. Scottish football is in a demise currently. However once David Cameron is kicked out of parliament, I hope Scotland can once more prosper. And our fans can afford to go to these football games.
I have posted before that I would be willing to pay a one off £100 pounds to go to a Rangers fund, which would be used to buy players + pay wages. I'm sure there are a million other Rangers fans in the world that would do so. Think of the squad we could buy. I suppose David Murray paid the equivalent out his own pocket several times but to no avail. However, like yourself I can't get to the games, therefore would be happy to contribute. We should start a motion.

Ok let's compare Rangers squad to Celtic squad

mcgregor > zaluska

whittaker < M Wilson
Bartley = K wilson
Goian >/= majstorovic - only because we havent seen much of goian
papac < izzaguirre

davis > Brown
mculloch < ki
Edu < kayal
Ortiz < commons

Jelavic > stokes
Naismith < hooper

Is this just us looking for a star again, because none of you can know what he is like, he is nearly 20 and has not played 1 single game in the SPL, in fact he's played 1 game (tossed into a euro tie) in all his time at Rangers, i'm not saying he's no good, but coming on here shouting about players that you actually know nothing about is a bit desperate.

It does make you less of a fan because another name for a fan is a supporter and clearly they do not have your support so before you start talking garbage take a look at yourself and ask would you still support this team if we went bankrupt and hadto play non league football i know i would Rangers is in our blood and whatever craig whyte has done is in the interests of Rangers as it is now his property and he more than any1 does not want to see it go down the pan the way he has taken care of things is very clever and should his tactics allow us to dodge the HMRC investigation and he goes on to invest in the club then im sure ur narrow minded opinions will change. We are in a better state now than we have been for year we have went out and brought players in maybe they arent to the standard we would like and they arent blowing large amounts coz thats what seen us in a bad way in the 1st place. We are still bring players to the club had whyte not been in charge Bougy would have left for less than 1.7 Mcgregor would be gone Davis gone Whittaker gone. we would have lost a minimum of 5 players youngsters would be starting in the 1st squad and we would have been lucky to finish in the top half of the spl so either get behind the team and the board or go and watch Man Utd with the rest of the Glory hunters

Agree0 Disagree0

Well said could.nt have put it better myself

Good one, as long as your happy getting the p*** taken out of you...good luck. you see the difference is, you would support the gers even if they were non league, but if you used a bit of sense like most, you wouldn't need to mention non league, because the ones that care, wouldn't let that happen.
We 'are' the people

100% agree with u on the last post an rangers till i die but just coz i ave opinion that doest agree with people wearing blue tinted specs then i am wrong an talking garbage mate plz go back to school and get an education an the point on whittaker thats the biggest mistake whyte made was give him a new an improved contract he was getting paid 2much last year he cant tackle cant cross a ball he is useless an shd ave been punted when bursapor wanted him and how do u know we would ave lost 5 players minimum were u part of the bank were u in the know ???

In normal circumstances it can take months to get an appeal heard, but footballers are a special circumstance due to the limited time they have to make transfers. It has been known for some transfers to be held up until after a transfer window has closed due to work permit hearings going to appeal though. So I really wouldn't get too worried, I am sure the media will be there the moment the hearing is held.}

Look fellow bears. We have been taken over by a young business man from Motherwell who has done well for himself, not by an arabian prince, russian oil magnate, or super rich american billionaires. I think we need to manage our expectations a bit better and lets get the club on an even footing before we go on a spending spree. We have the makings of a decent squad and between the end of August and the january transfer window i am sure we will add to that. Our managers job is to get the best he can out of the players that we have just as wattie did

I'm sorry to inform you that I doubt Mr. Whyte is on a rumours page, he's got the champions to run.

The pessimism surrounding Rangers is unreal, we're in a far better position now than we ever were. We have a tax case that Craig Whyte had nothing to do with hanging over us and Rangers shouldn't hold liability over it. I've said it before and I'll say it again that after the tax case is resolved Rangers reall transformation will form. There is already plans underway for the redevelopment of the area which will belong to Rangers football club. The best players in Scotland in Steven Davis & Allan McGregor are more or less Rangers for the rest of their careers. Now jog on tims, you're starting to bore me.

It's no all bad news if they're really getting that big dummy Forster back in goal I guess. Beside big Jela and Weiss' tremendous quick-thinking on the freekick for the winner, he was our star-man in the league cup final win that got us firing on to 3IAR

In Forster we trust.

Could some of you greetin' faced beaches please go and support another team.
Unless you have 100 million in the bank and want to buy the glorious Gers then shut up
White owns the team, Ally is the manager. I am sure that they will do the business.
If you don't like it then support someone else.
I take it you want to do a Newcastle on our new owner and make him hate us?????
We have got young talent and with a couple of additions we will be better than anything in Scotland by a mile.
Please grow up. You could always put your wee blue scarves in the drawer and pull out your standby Man Utd ones.

Oh, the blue mist.....hides all the problems.....Rangers forever,,,and all that s***, actually means you would support the blue jerseys even if it was a bunch of d***s in them, that's very loyal, but makes you one of the 'daftie' fans

Agree0 Disagree0

To the last post---''It doesnt mean we are not supporting the club''???
DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT 'SUPPORT' MEANS??? Here is the Oxford English dictionary definition:

''to agree with and give encouragement to someone or something because you want them to succeed''

Now if you don't subscribe with the national dictionary and perhaps use another one, fair enough, however lets be honest that's highly unlikely

Your not being supportive, your being opposing.....look it up

I think John Fleck could do a job, i've not liked him for a couple of seasons and when he's came on i've worried he won't make much impact but there's something about this season, I feel this could be his season. He has definitely got the ability and i'd much rather give him a game than signing Murray Davidson or someone like that. If we're not playing wee Fleck this season should be out on loan getting a game wouldn't like to see his talent wasting on the bench all season.

Believable3 Unbelievable2

Wee Fleck... Fat Fleck, that is his problem he thinks he is a star already. He has been on the verge for 4-5 years now so he should be loaned out or sold if we can get any money for him. He is not going to be good enought for us. Simple as that. If he is then that says we are not going to be good enough. He needs to give up his season ticket for Micky Ds.

Craig whyte bought a mars bar today. Not sure what his intentions are. Perhaps he plans to use this to destroy rangers because there must be an alternative motive. Despite there being no evidence supporting this it is widely believed he Will sign the chocolate delight on a 5yr contract so he can sell when the club goes into admin. He is also rumoured to b eyeing a milky bar n a chrunchie but has not met the shopkeepers valuation of a quid each.

The best signing Rangers could make this close season is getting a decent PR guy into the club. Every single day we see a new players name being associated with the club. What ever happened to conducting our business in private like we have always done until now. Every time Ally is asked a question he spills his guts to the journo's. It's became very apparent with this new regime that they are very very unproven and unprofessional in the way they deal with comings and goings from the club. No news is good news and we as fans would prefer to get this news when there is something concrete or the player is about to sign. Martin Bain's knowledge base of such things is dearly missed. These guys have no-one to learn from.

UEFA may be boxing clever here. It appears that Sion will get sanctioned somewhere along the line. Celtic (believe it or believe it not are still big box office and the ties are worth a mint to our respective clubs. I think they will wait and let us bring in the revenue. Of course of we win the tie they will forfeit; if we lose well that's when things will get interesting. Call me cynical and it may be good news for us, the referee may just for once in Europe give us a few decisions.......

....Seen this on the tic page and just had to laugh .... apparantly its ALL referees that are against them

I'm not being funny but i'd hate to be like that. Walking around thinking everyone is out to get you. It must be terrible for them I'm surprised their big red coupons don't explode wae all they conspiracy theories doing the rounds in their brain all day. I feel sorry for the poor things.

I would like you to please publish this as I feel my fellow Celtic fans and some ridiculous Rangers fans need to read the truth...

On behalf of me and my fellow Celtic supporters allow me to welcome Fraser back to Celtic Park, if indeed the deal does go through.

Okay sure we wanted a Shay Given or a Craig Gordon, but there are certainly far worse out there than Fraser. He is criminally underated by both the Celtic support and the Rangers support(glad they do) but I have every faith that he will add significantly to his magnificent 23 SPL clean sheets of last season(including 3 against Rangers in 4 derby games in the league)

Hail Hail

Wise up people, we are penniless. Youth isn't good enough in my opinion to get this squad toward a good standard of football. Ness is a decent player, Wylde and Hutton are not anything special, Little shows promise if he can get fit, Kerkar who?

We need quality players as well as squad players with bite. Look for loanee's now as Prem teams post their 25 man squad soon (I believe after the transfer window closes - correct me if i am wrong Ed). That does not mean plucking names from your arse like McEachren, Sturridge, or any starlets likely to be said by the "hope-rs" out there. Livermore is a possibility, Harry has said we can get players from Spurs. We need to raid the Championship for bargain buys, Adam Le Fondre of Rotherham must be a shout, guy netted 20 odd goals last season for a medi-okre side in League 1.

Lets get realistic. I want the team to succeed as much as the next fan, but like the majority I am worried at the lack of enthusiasm from the board and Whyte in respect of transfers which we direly need.

2 all, I read on this site just about everyday that MR WHYTE promised SUPER ALLY 15mill 2 spend in the transfer market well I seen the interview when this was supposed 2 have been said and I can tell u it is utter bollocks what he said was he was prepared 2 go in top heavy with the promised 5mill a season if required the next day a reporter from the daily rebel claimed in his exclusive that MR WHYTE was prepared 2 spend up 2 15mill so lets see what happens before the transfer window shuts before we slaughter the man and 1 other thing if naismith or jelavic had scored any of the sitters they missed in both legs we would not be out of champs league hardly MR WHYTES fault there but as SUPER ALLY says we win as team we lose as a team not 1 person carry's the can from owner 2 fans we r all in it together so in the words of the great MARVIN ANDREWS KEEP BELEIVING

Believable1 Unbelievable1

He has spent £200k net. That is the point, he promised £5m minimum per season - its people like you that will be fooled into thinking this is ok and our club will get asset striped when we lose HMRC case - you need to seriously research this and wake up.

2 GDog thank u for your kind words I posted yesterday about Mckay and Bedoya I am not saying I am some footballing genuis but going by post on this site I sometimes think I am a f***in footballing god the same people who in my opinion don't no jack s**t about football think we should go out and burst the bank 2 bring in superstars ain't going 2 happen the most I think SUPER ALLY is going 2 spend is about 3 mill max on any player if he wants him so much but there is players out there who can do just as good a job at half decent prices and I must confess when we talk about SIR WALTER I 2 loved the way the man carried himself and the way he took s**t from no 1 for the sake of his club but he used 2 drive me insane with his tactics another example was the uefa cup final wee novo was on fire before that game what did he do,dropped the wee man and I quote he wanted 2 be loyal 2 the players that got us there, whit the f*** your trying to win a european final

everyone who gets on whyte's back should be ashamed to call yourself a gers fan where would we be without him we wouldnt have brought in wallace,ortiz,goian,bedoya and we would probably have sold mcgregor,davis,whittaker so what we sold bougherra he was on his last year and wanted a new challange and in my opinion he has cost alot of goals always going forward and leaving us exposed at the back so please back mr whyte back mcoist they are probably just as frustrated as the fans and most of all back everyone in the team and cheer them on all the way to 4iar WATP

Your'e up early, getting ready for school ? He had to put money into the work on Ibrox, it was a health and safety requirement, not an improvement issue. He has no money, and no intention of investing in the team, so take the blinkers off and concentrate on school, you may need to later in life, after this post.

I agree. we are meant to be ''supporters'' of the mighty Glasgow Rangers and most of the stuff I read on hear sounds nothing like support. Lets get behind our team we are Rangers, super Rangers no1 likes us we don't care......

Everybody is getting wound up over f*ck all. firstly show me ur link saying it was health and safety reasons for the three million. so that includes the tannoy, and big screens ya dafty go away dont u ever call ya self a gers fan again. being against whyte is one thing but making stuff up is another u little muppet.

some of the people getting on whytes back and saying we have no money and should buy players at 2 or 3 million , If you's ran rangers , buying players at 3 million , 2 million , 1 million then rangers would be right back in the s**t , in debt again , remind whyte bought the club , if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have any new signings , our best players would've been gone , so now were bought you's demand money , let's be thankful for whyte , ALSO whyte dosent put bids in for players so it's not his fault

IN WHYTE AND ALLY WE TRUST

Believable7 Unbelievable3

I totally agree to this will said big man

It was whyte that promised a £15m war chest. Spent less than £1m

Agree0 Disagree0

It was his fault we went out off champs league FACT his net spending is 300k not good enough

T-Bear

Agree0 Disagree0

You've got the wrong end of the stick mate....the problem is, why put in low bids to 'kid on' that we are interested in players, if Whyte just came out and said, we are running a tight ship and are in the market for 500 or 600k players, then that's fine.

The problem is, all this embarassing underbidding for players, when he knows fine well we ain't gonna get them....be shrewd by all means, but don't embarras the club like he is doing.
We value Jelavic at maybe 8 or 9m, so we wouldn't sell him for 4m, so if a club value their player at 3m, why the f*** do we think we should get them for 1 or 2, is it because we are The Glasgow Rangers? We all need to realise that it doesn't work like that anymore, we need to get the blinkers off.

Agree0 Disagree0

We had spent money and that we should be grateful , a think you would rather us spend a million than spend none and sell our best players

Forgot to put my name . TrueBear72

Agree0 Disagree0

The money has been spent on new contracts etc.these players wud b away if the club hadnt been bought over.the abuse these socalled fans are spouting is shocking.we have got to get behing the club.do all yous want our club in millions of debt again

Agree0 Disagree0

Many teams are changing the goal posts and are trying to start bidding wars on players.
It wouldnt be cheap signing Greggsy Davo and Whitts on new contracts with signing fees etc, lets see what happens in the next two weeks, with the potential signings of Bedoya and Mackay things are being held up to see if and when we get them.

Anyway here is an article you ALL should read AND THEN judge Mr Whyte, and after reading it - I know my decision about whether or not to trust him.

www.dailyrecord.co.uk/football/spl/rangers/2011/05/27/new-rangers-owner-craig-whyte-will-sell-up-within-three-years-warns-celtic-saviour-86908-23160045/

I feel so sorry for McCoist .. he is the one who people will be looking at as he is the one who makes the statements about transfer targets and after Whyte has already pledged a "£15m WAR CHEST" and we are still putting in ridiclulous offers for players..

We are in very big trouble fellow bears sorry to say it but we really are We all thought mr whyte was our saviour - we and our club are nothing but his next little "project" so that he can make a few bob out of selling us on after spending as little money as possible and draining us of just about everything

You are only echoing what I have believed and posted on here for WEEKS Whyte IS a CHARLATAN and he has NO interest in Rangers, FACT Some of the guy's on here need to stop kidding themselves on and wake up to this fact. He is not bringing in what we want, because he has no interest in football, and that makes it worse when you consider that the weasel lifted the league trophy and unfurled the league flag right under the noses of the people he is taking the utter f**king p@sh out of..... He IS extracting the urine in major fashion Bears, if you can't see it... WoW .. Time will tell, time is running out

Ive been saying this from day one and yours got posted I gave up my connection with the club permanently and voted with my feet and you know the song bears" the times they are a changing "

we have no money for big signing so anybody that posts big name signings get real any signing at the moment will be less than 1 million for sure we are short of players but if mr whyte is doing the right thing by buying cheap crap i am against this we are the champion of scotland at the moment we are buying from poundland
