To the guy who wrote robbie savage to rangers there is more chance of walter signing lily savage than that muppet

If arsenal scouts were at the game looking at mcgregor and boogie i for one would not mind them going if it means rangers getting in £10m + for both and get few fresh faces in as i think we could cope with losing these 2

Why all the fuss about Rangers not signing anyone.

Surely we can use the money that has been freed up to bring in 2-3 quality players on loan then that will give the club 6 months to sort out the takeover.

Why spend money on players just now when we can use the wages from Miller, Velicka & hopefully Beattie plus any windfall from Charlie Adam's sale to bring in the players we need on loan.

If the Commons deal is stalling on an extra 5k a week why not offer him the 5k extra but tell him he will be brought in during the summer so that we do not have to spend £300k bringing him in just now.

Whats your thoughts? Click believable if you agree with signging 2-3 loan players or unbelievable if you want the club to spend money on bringing in new faces.

In Walter we trust!

Just heard on radio that rangers takeover is unlikely to happen this year if tax liabilities are not withdrawn by HMRC. if rangers don't win the tax case they will have to lodge an appeal which can take upto a year to reach courts.

Was this the comments by Phil the Fool on Radio Clyde last night? Not sure that he is independent of view - what do you think?

Anyone else dreading the summer.increased season ticket prices. walter leaving. davy weir jacking it in. mcgregor.davis.boogie and edu sold to the first clubs that show an intrest in them. god help ally and kenny.

Just shows you how bad and septic are when we have spent more money than them this season so far.they could easily go out and by a 5-7m striker or any position but shows how bad they are there is tight is a ducks arse in january

Lets face it guys theres no epl players coming to ibrox.the rangers bank wil be hard pushed to secure a championship player.think we had better focus our sights on league one or scots first division.do we ev en have the clout to compete with the hibs and the aberdeens anymore.i hate to have to say it but our once great club can't attract championship players any more.the take them off us nowadays.

Commons deal defintely off source STV.

26 Jan 2011 16:55:52

Always trying to get players on the cheap this is how it is going to be from now on i'm afraid. Walter Smith can only work so much magic this season might just be too much. Gutted .

26 Jan 2011 16:55:07

David murray stop hiding and show your face explain to the genuine fans how you got us in to theis mess

26 Jan 2011 16:07:02

I was on sky sports mews and i couldn, t find anything on commons agreeing to personal terms. Have I just missed it?

26 Jan 2011 15:56:32

Are some people really this stupid and deluded?. I don't normally post rumours because I don't hear a lot nor do I make up a lot!. But Bebe, Pavlyuchenko, Owen, Evans and Jovanovic have all been reported to be signing for Rangers. Do you guys actually pay attencion to what is happenin at Rangers? we couldn't afford to pay 16k for a badly needed left sided midfielder yet we are going to be able to match the wages of these guys? and I'm sure if Sir Alex was kind enough to donate these players on loan to rangers he and Walter must be much more than just friends!. Get real people I doubt there will be any new faces at Rangers this season which could be a good or bad thing with prices being inflated in January it would just add to the debt!.

26 Jan 2011 14:51:42

IM A RANGERS MAN AND I DONT WANT BEBE AT IBROX HAVE HEARD A LOT OF RUMOURS HE IS A DUD FERGIE BOUGHT HIM BLIND FROM WHAT I HEAR SO TO THE GUY THAT SAYS HE CANT WAIT TO SEE HIM DONT HOLD YOUR BREATH PAL HOW MANY GAMES HAS RED NOSE PLAYED HIM IN SINCE SPLASHING OUT OB HIM

26 Jan 2011 14:51:41

Kenny miller is on his way back to rangers as he realizes its the stupidiest decision he has made and won't win any medals

26 Jan 2011 14:25:30

I have hunted the world wide web,

And i cannot find anything linking us to Bebe, be it through news sites or journo Blogs.

Would be great, but cannot see it happening. Not to fussed about missing out on Commons, I'd much rather see cover for centre half, and a striker

26 Jan 2011 13:41:24

Where are all these rumours of Bebe coming from?

26 Jan 2011 12:43:36

For the record Rangers receive 10% of any transfer fee for Charlie Adam over the 500K Blackpool paid! But the real question must be why did the club let Adam leave in the 1st place! Another one who camr through the ranks and was then let go Wilson to Liverpool who's next Ness Fleck OR Hutton serious questions have to be asked what is going on at THE CLUB

Re: mate u need educated, Adam was unfit at rangers not to mention played outta position he was often posted wide by Smith and looked half the player couple that with Old Firm were he ran outta steam literally 5 mins into the second half and had to come off was the last straw for wattie and he moved him on (in turn this has done wonders for him). Wilson didn't wanna stay at gers, he isn't a gers man and wen mumbling Kenny came sniffing about he jumped at the chance to join them. . we were desperate to keep him. Regards to Fleck sell him for the first decent bid we get, the boy needs to sort himself out poor trainer and still up to no good off the park he has flettered to decieve big time. Like Ness tho looks to have the right attitude too.

The guy that posted this "lets get it straight

1] total cost off tax bill 60 mill "

NOBODY knows the tax bill - not even HMRC, that's why investigations are still on-going - FACT. Back in the real world, Ed: do you happen to know if Charlie Adam has a sell-on clause in his contract? Blackpool are wanting £12 mill now - bit much for an overweight, squad-player if you asked me, but i'd happily take a cut! {ed's note - there is one, as far as I can find out, it is just no one is fully certain what it is!}

Let me guess the unwashed lot have been reading articles that have been written by Phil Mac Giolla Bhain again. lol this guy is a poisonous bitter little * * ! he has been found out for the lies he prints on MANY MANY occasions.

If the celtic fans believe and actually follow what this guy writes then it says very little for them.

If we don't sign commons an the dark side do
then its the saddest day in rangers fc history
and i fear the worst for my club
why the f* * did we think we could sign him
on 14k a week when he turned down 15k
at derby we really have to get really
an give this boy what he wants
if we are allowed by the bank

very unhappy bear

Another angle on the banks thing is simply to remind people about what happened in germany when they were financing their war effort. .they devalued the mark so many times that it lost its value all together so you had the scenario of a man going into a bakers shop to buy a loaf of bread which might have a value of 10 or12 marks
but its inflated price was 2or 3million marks and consequently the man had a wheel-barrow full of marks just to buy a loaf of bread!they must have had a hell of an hourly rate. . . .?

THE SCOTSMAN
tax man could saddle rangers with £80m debt. the club has been handed a £24m assessment by hmrc after investigation into offshore payments to players during the past decade.
combined with interest of £12 and possible add-on penalties it could reach up to £54m plus with about £30m debt to the bank.
the club is expected to appeal in a process that could take up to a year to complete.
the takeover is off.

It does appear to be the case that Commons is going to celtic as we cannot match wages on offer due the the constraints being placed on us by lloyds.

What annoys me is that surely lloyds must realise that the only way to make money in scotland is by winning the league and playing in europe every season, so buy selling off our assets (players) and refusing to replace them will just place us in a much weaker position financially, whereas if they released a small amount of funds and allow us to strengthen we could again bring in another £10-15m in champions league money, although what has happened to previous money from this source is anyones guess.

We can't blame celtic for once again signing a player we are interested in, as we did it to them for years when we could, we just need to get this take over sorted one way or the other so we know where we stand, either that or lloyds needs to open there eyes and realise we won't make money if our team is not competing, like celtic during our 9 in a row, we could be faced with that scenario if something is not done soon
