Kris Boyd is crap... according to all the people on this site. Jelavic is the only better striker than Boyd we have so get him, get Salihi for £500k, Rudnevs £2m. Thats the replacements for Jelavic(£8m). We needed 2 strikers any way so lost 1 brought in 3.
Spend £2.5m bought in £8m, £5m profit

Midfielders Stilic on a pre-contract, give Bruins a contract. Get Ortiz as far as possible same for McCulloch that might get us £500k. Bedoya on loan. Give McKay a chance. Give Edu Aluko new contracts.
So spend £0 bought in £500k

Defenders Need a centre back we only have 3 good enough at the minute and Bartley is only a loan.
Get a right back possibly Gaxa for £250k sell Broadfoot for maybe £500k
Profit of £250k

So profit of £5.75m, thats good selling 3 pieces of crap and bringing in good players

Believable2 Unbelievable4

Your 40 something million in the feckin red how cud you possibly make a profit. Lol Jesus it's just gets better and better. God pay your queen. Xoxo Bigirishmac

In Edinburgh there are a small number of very well connected individuals, who know anyone worth knowing…..

if you are one of these people or have a close relationship with them, then there is little that won’t be known

The information I have is that Rangers and Lloyds have NO expectation of winning at the FTT. They have both been briefed to this effect.

because the mainstream media have been in denial then there is still public uncertainty. that doesn’t relate to the reality of the situation

I posted 10 days ago about MIH no longer being owned by Murray. I attached at that time the new share ownership structure which showed Murray only owning a tiny share and the owner now being Uberior Equity which is a wholly owned Lloyds subsidiary

You haven’t read a word about that in the MSM. Send a snapper round to Charlotte Sq and take a photo of what WAS the HQ of MIH…..play a game of spot the brass nameplate? not easy as there isn’t one that I saw when I walked past it recently

The MIH HQ is now a vacant empty office, at least it certainly looks that way

the MSM have been in denial for so long they are having difficulty adjusting to the new reality…….If you had told Traynor or his like in 2008 that MIH would have been taken over by Lloyds and Murray had lost all the value of his equity, that Rangers were in their current state, and were maybe weeks away from going out of business, then they would have ridiculed you…

however some of us were saying that things would go this way as far back as 2003. Anyone who could understand a balance sheet and more importantly understood business knew that MIH and Rangers were potential basket cases

the MSM can’t keep this denial going for much longer…..they are going to have to talk about it sooner rather than later

Believable3 Unbelievable2

I don't get the point you are trying to make. Who cares about DM and what he owns and does not own. This is a Rangers Rumours website nothing to do with DM as has nothing to do with Rangers, I couldn't care if he was staying in a two up two down in Larkhall. If the point that you are trying to make is that DM has lost the lot, who cares, I have no feelings for this man other than disgust

Agree3 Disagree3

Whats your point caller

Agree0 Disagree2

Of course there is relevance to David Murray, MIH were in the dock alongside RFC re the tax case.

DM is trying to manufacture a way out for you tax dodgers by liquidating MIH and allowing RFC to continue.

I hope all of you lot that think the club will walk away unscathed will have the b*lls to come back and admit you were wrong.

Not one of them. What a record Whyte has, hurry up put us into administration, fill your pockets and get to f@@k. The sooner the better.

Whyte, Murray, Bain, and the rest of the board past and present, how dare you do this to RFC. You should all be ashamed of your part in the demise of a great institution.

Would like to get some opinions on this- Rangers fan all my days still got a season ticket now living in the Falkirk area. Going to the semi final on Sunday to support my local team against Celtic. Anything wrong with that?

Believable6 Unbelievable5

No way man ! I live in Inverness an support rangers all my life go to ibrox supporter bus - also supported caley coz the were my local highland league team long before the ever got SFL status an I'll be at the cup game screaming for caley to f@,k them again! Gone cheer the bairns on ma man!

Not at all, supporting your local team and scottish football but also being a true blue with your season ticket. Am sure the Falkirk support will be making noise.
When Thistle beat smeltic in the 1971 League cup final and the half time score became known ,Thistle 4 v 0 smeltic, apparently gers fans left Ibrox just to see it happen at Hampden. 4 v 1 final result. It was the ref's fault you understand.
Don't know anyone from Ross and Cromarty!Enjoy the day!

No Mate, Nothing wrong with that at all, you can support your local Team -

Ed, I've been reading and occasionally contributing to this site for about a year. What I can't understand is that any post that suggests that the Gers aren't as in dire straits as the tic believe are not published. In fact, you seem to actively publish pretend Ger fan's posts. Explain. {Ed001's Note - I think you are talking nonsense, I have actively pointed out numerous times how no one actually knows the situation. But typical how people always assume there is some kind of agenda.}

Believable0 Unbelievable1

I'm sure if you search through the forum for Celtic fans posting about Rangers finances, (or lack of) you'll need a computer with 24GB of Ram to process them all, 42 Million will be registred to Timalloy, Lenny and Miko our 3 resident RTC experts. but please whatever you DO NOT search for threads with Timalloy and Tax or you will kill the internet

I honestly dont get why people are being so harsh toward Craig Whyte...he was the only one who was willing to buy our great club and get rid of our debt.

he may not be putting any money into the club now but what would be the point? £50 million tax case could force us into admin which would mean a fire sale value for all our assets so if he gave us £5 million to spend on a player they might only be worth £1 million in 6 weeks!

Would any of you guys spend £10 grand doing up your house if there was a good chance of loosing it for f*** all in a few weeks...dont think so.

Wait until we find out the tax case results...if we win, give him summer to prove his investment.

Believable4 Unbelievable3

Whyte knew the position with the tax case when he took over. He said he would give Ally £5m up front for players, with an extra £10m if needed. He lied, as he hasn't done this.

Agree2 Disagree0

I will tell you why he gets a hard time, he is a liar, simple as that. He promised money in the summer -lie, he stated he was not barred as a director- lie, he said there was money this window - lie, he only pays bills when they end in court cases, and his cheapskate antics in the transfer market are dragging our name through the mud.
As well as being a liar he is a con man, he put in a series of pathetic bids in the summer to pull the wool over the eyes of the fans. He only seems to pay his bills when someone takes him to court, he has more cases now than samsonite.
And incidentally he paid £1 for us, he has not cleared the debt, he has transferred the debt and when we go into admin, this is guaranteed to him, so he has spent £1. Stop making him out to be the saviour, his only wish is that we go into admin and he will make a quick buck. He is an asset stripper, that is what he does, but you think somehow this is different, get real.

Agree6 Disagree1

Agree but if you are going to put sensible posts on here at least leave your name mate they are too few and far between in this time of crazyness

Going home because they aint champions material

Agree1 Disagree0

Agreed, Whyte has not come good on all his promises, but I dread to think where we would be if Lloyds were still in charge. They would have punted jela Davis McGregor and they wouldn't have purchased anyone. We would still have had the tax cases hanging over us as it is at the moment. Its not the best of position to be in granted, but better than it could have been.

Pete

Agree0 Disagree1

Pete i agree but did CW not state that he would invest 5m in the squad, that meant existing and new players and 20m over the next four years
think with the new contracts, increased wages, new players, then probably not far off 5m in the squad, we will have to wait 4 years to see if he goes the 20m though

Just a general question for fellow teddy bears. would u rather keep.jelavic or sell him and try to get some new blood into the team?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I'd sell him because we need all the money we can get!!

pappy

Agree2 Disagree0

Sell him ... If he stayed his form wouldn't get better coz he'd be thinking what if ?... Even though I've heard bilic has advised him to stay an score goals then if it suits move in summer

Agree1 Disagree0

Sell him and take Boyd on a free and a 2-3 million pound striker.

Agree2 Disagree1

Keep him and play him up front with healy

jelly is good at knockin the ball in the net not holding the ball up, he gets beat every time and is always on his ass
healy can hold the ball up for the midfield to support, we saw that against mwell and he will get a few goals as well
thats my thoughts

Bears....Celtic fan here. I sincerely hope this administration thing doesn't shaft your club. I'm a football fan, you're football fans...we just happen to support different clubs but I do not wish serious problems for Rangers. I just want us to win the SPL this year. I'd settle for that and let you off with everything else...if it were my decision to make. Anyway...keep your heads up chaps. Hopefully it'll sort itself out without too much of a penalty.

Aye that's right Chris, you just let them off. Their skullduggery and cheating is coming back to haunt them. They tried to deceive Scottish football through tax evasion to give themselves an unfair advantage. They deserve every punishment they get.

Agree5 Disagree6

I agree Chris. Sound words from a true football fan!

Agree2 Disagree3

I hope so too, personally think any fan that looks forward to the demise of a club, especially their rivals, is a mindless moron. (Be it Celtic fans just now or Rangers fans pre McCann.) Just my opinion, I just can't understand the thought process. The old firm games are the highlight of the football calender, why would anyone want that to end?

Anyway c'mon the Gers!

pappy

Agree1 Disagree3

Don't think you tims understand,,, no rangers = no old firm = zero sky money and that means less sponsor money so wages will lower players will leave and ur team will be a bigger pile of s**t than it is now

Agree1 Disagree3

Yes you are quite right, during 2001 to 2010 Rangers won the league 4 times, Smeltic 6 times. I would say that the alleged skullduggery etc was decidely disadvantageous.
As you don't have a tag I can only refer to you as the alligator. Do you know a bit about skullduggery yourself?

Rikkisxx, as I go on about getting my name right, I apologise to you I misread yours.
So if you want a decent debate with no name calling feel free.
I see practically every trialist that has come to Ibrox has left without an offer being made. We tims can see this is a blatant contrick to get all your hopes up but apparently you all think everything Whyte does is OK?
I can guarantee you if someone like him tried his antics with Celtic, he would have been told well and truly where to go, but for some reason you Rangers fans fall hook, line and sinker for all his lies.
You will not believe this but I genuinely feel sorry for the TRUE Rangers fans like yourself, and I can see where you are coming from giving tims like me a hard time, but also I give it large to you bears because of all the rubbish we had to put up with over the years, and also all the silly names I get called. So I can come on and LAUGH at you all, and that is one thing that you bears hate. But mate the whole country is LAUGHING at Rangers because of Whyte and until all you real fans realise this we will be laughing for some time to come hail hail Timalloy

Believable3 Unbelievable2

Timalloy, your like a one string banjo,playing the same note all the time, you've had your bit of fun, think its time for you to move on and start to support your own team and join the rest of the paranoid celtic supports.

Agree1 Disagree3

" If someone tried his antics at Celtic he would have been told well and truly where to go " Aye right timalloy , like you did with the biscuit tin board for so long and your "saviour" McCann only left after making serious cash out of you and leaving you with a meccano stadium , let's see what happens when the big repair billls kick in for that in a few years !!

Agree1 Disagree2

Mccann did exactly what he said he would,has whyte? dont think we need 49m for repairs tho!

Agree4 Disagree0

Fergus McCann stated up front when he took over the club he'd be leaving after 5 years and what structure he was setting the club up in and yes, that he'd walk away with a profit. What's the issue with that?

Agree3 Disagree0

I think the reason "us rangers fans" are not doing anything about whytes goings on`s at the club is because of the tax case. we know that it`s there, we know what it could do to us if lost and we know that there is no money just now. now if whyte had bought rangers with no debt , no tax case and no uncertainties surrounding our club i think the case would be much different, if whyte was depriving the team of cash and we knew there was money there and the club was being run as it is now we would probably be doing the whole lets all stand outside ibrox with our pitchforks routine giving it the "get whyte out" chants but the problem is we dont know what the whole story is. i think whyte should come out and say more often whats going on and keep us up to date and put our minds at rest a little. i hope the whyte era is just temporary and hes just here to see us through the tax case and then someone else will step in with some big money to take us forward, possibly why theres no big signings or commitment to the team at the moment but wether this will happen it remains to be seen, as i say its what i and many rangers fans would like to happen. i only hope whyte is being hounest with ally and the coaching staff because i would hate to think ally is being lied to or is in the dark as much as us. but as i said until the tax case is out in the open we really cant do anything we have to just sit tight and wait listening all the celtic fans basking in our situation and thats just the way it goes, if it was other way around you all know we would be doing it.

sorry about the spelling and the grammer ./biggles

Agree2 Disagree0

Well ostriches, I tried.... unamed bears try responding without insults. Oh and McCann kept every promise he made, put in millions, cleared our debts and bult a new stadium. I have to laugh at rubbishing our stadium, Ibrokes is falling down, even without the bulldozers moving in. Timalloy

Agree1 Disagree2

Aye very good timalloy,zenden on trial for a week,lemmon wanted him,told him after trial was over that he wanted him,but your super duper chief exec liewell told him he wasn't wanted!
think you may be an ostrich ,you seem to believe everything the hierarchy say at your fail fail club
*****

Agree3 Disagree1

I have been posting for months that Celtic fans would not put up with this crap. They would be out in the streets protesting until they got rid. That is what happened pre-McCann. We have sat back and let both Murray and now whyte drag our club through the mud with no noticeable dissent. Sorry to say this but we deserve all we get

Agree4 Disagree1

Timmy, I keep telling you that, Whyte and McCann the buyouts of the clubs were very similar, the difference being that McCann is a Saviour and Whyte a Villain.

McCann saved your Club from going under by taking on the Debt owed to the Bank, no one questioned whether he moved it to a holding company or it came out his own account, he paid the debt and got control. The exact same as Whyte.
Under McCann's Tenure, (5 years) he won 3 Trophies, the Fans Slated him for putting the Club in a good footing off the field but not on it. Whyte has came in but cannot start to put foundations in place because of the Tax issue. He has been branded everything under the sun from a liar to a thief and much worse in between.
McCann, he walked away from the Club with a healthy profit (about 200% of what he put in) on share issues got off the backs of supporters who could barely afford them. If he was a true fan he would have taken no more that he put in. He was a miserable runt of a Man, when Celtic built the tier it interfered with the T.V signals in the surrounding area's and families took him to court over it, he said he would pay to have new Antenna's installed but only to the residents that produced a Valid T.V license, (true story ) which very few did, tighter than two coats of paint.

Apparently there is a FIFA / UEFA option to strip clubs of honours in the case of financial irregularities, bribery, corruption, etc and is based on similar rules used by Athletics Associations, where we've seen winners striped of medals for drug taking.

If Rangers lose the tax case the club could be striped of the 4 league titles, and other trophies won, whilst operating the Employee Benefit Trusts and the titles given to Celtic.

And MMI2009, if, 'IF', we're found guilty, then you may have a point but I'm glad to hear that cheating is so offensive to you. You must be pure raging that Celtic players are currently allowed to commit twice as many fouls before being carded than any other team in the league. Stinks eh?

I think Jelavic will still be a rangers player after the transfer window, west ham with not be able to afford a bid more than 7million and if they could I think they would look else where for someone better and all other clubs don't seem interested anymore. But is it better or worst for him to stay? Yes he's a good player but he's not a prolific goal scorer in which we need and the money getting for Jelavic would fund a player like that even if it is Boyd or whatever. In my eyes it looks like Jelavic is staying with us but if we are to stand a chance of defending the title we need that money for fresh player who can score goals.

"I thought we did enough to win the game, but that's four draws at home and eight points dropped and we don't want any more.

"Unfortunately I can't put my finger on why."

This kinda sums up my beef with Ally. Well it might be because you play two left backs, two holding midfielders and one striker most of the time, no? Try a bit of fkin squad rotation and cut out the "jobs fer the lads" mentality!

Grrrrrrrrrrr

The official RFC twitter feed had this afternoons press conference, acording to the feed "it was a club decision not to pursue our interest in Uchebo". Acording to Ally he spoke to Mcdowall and Durrant before making the decision.

I cant help but feel that this may be the first time that Ally and his team have actually stood up for what they believe in< they didnt want him, never did. For some reason CW and GS did, CW brought in Smith to provide "football knowledge", if it is smith who sets up the deals his knowledge is worse than useless. The lads goal scoring record is woefull as is musilimovic's, jagger seems to be a player but it looks like we have sold him short, smith probably thinks we could get him on the cheap. Is smith useing his contacts as an ex agent or as an ex SFA official? If it is his agent contacts i for one would start to question if we have become a drop in centre for the unemployed and unwanted, are we just signing players from Smiths old mates?

I have no facts to base my next comment on, its just my own idea on our transfer dealings this season.

Allly wanted:
Goodwillie
Hemed
Miller
Conway
Wilson
Cueller
Goin
Boca
Wallace
The spainish Centre forward
He got 3 of these(i would have expected not to have signed Boca if we got Cueller or wilson and 2 out of Goodwillie, Miller and Hemed)

Smith set up:
McKay
Aluko(has been a good signing but if we really wanted him why not do the deal sooner?)
Bedoya(Walter?)
Ortiz(Walter?)
Uchebo
Musilimovic
Bruins
Jagger
Clostly
The two Indians

Ill leave Celik off the lists for now as Ally has said that he was watched last year(but again-walter.

It would seem that a lot of effort is going in to the players smith has identified but little or no effort on to the ally targets. Yes the money spent has been on the players ally wanted but they have been the cheaper ones on the list. I doubt Ally would have identified the likes of goodwillie and the spainish guy(both clubs said they were availible for 2mill) if he knew how little he was getting to spend. I wont pretend to tell you i know what price every player signed for cost but i will say that we lost out on players because we would not pay for them, we have spent the little money we had on the wrong players, investing in bringing half the world over for meaningless trials and signing players that the previous manager idendified. Director of football roles hardly ever work in the UK. The manager wants a player then he gets the player that is the way a Uk manager works. I would rather have got 2 or 3 of allys top targets for the money we had than have this open door we will have anybody with boots policy we have now.

Two men cannot sign players.

Every day it becomes more and more embarrassing. Whyte promised £5m in the summer with as much up to an additional, front load of £10m. We then went through potential signing after potential signing and got none of the first choices, with a series of pathetic bids, just a joke. We were then told by Ally that he had been told that money would be available even without selling. That then changed to we need to sell before we buy. So Weir left and Fleck is away on loan. I presume Weir was on £8 to £10k a week. We gave bought Celik on a reported £7k a week, but cannot afford Jagger at £3.5k a week. What is going on, cannot Whyte understand that we realise we are financially in a bad place but why make statements and then fail to live up to them. Why not just tell the truth, I realise that he is not renowned for telling the truth, we the fans are not stupid we know the position. I presume these trialists are being brought in in case we sell jelavic, but this is soul destroying. Every day somebody else leaves or goes elsewhere. It is pathetic.
If W just told us thr truth, so we know exactly the position, we would understand, and at least it would be better than this. Being turned down by nobody's is the pits and shows just what a state we are in. Tell the truth for once in your life!

With Jelavic out of tomorrows game. Who is going to play upfront? Maybe Healy and Aluko, or are we going to play a 443 with Healy through the middle and Celik and Aluko on flanks? Still we might be struggling for support to Healy. I think the game will be won in the midfield. Heres hoping for a bit of transfer activity in next few days.

Just a wee post for these new ostriches, Blueknows, duccablue and rickixxx, keep the insults coming I love it, by the way you all need spelling lessons why? er Miko, Timalloy to my poor wee tim knowledge does not have an "h" in it. lol
Also why do you deserve everything that is happening? because despite all the signs all you ostriches fall for everything the laptop loyal and your great "billionaire" leader feeds you.
Your team is a laughing stock and all us "Timmys" as you call us are LOVING it.
Where is the "front loaded £10m" he promised you or the other £20m he also said was available? With his vast "wealth off the radar" this would be petty cash to him, so why is he not spending it on players?
We Celtic fans when our board lied to us, rose up and demanded change and HONESTY, we Celtic fans put our hands in our pockets when needed and saved our club. Where are all you "loyal" fans with your offers of help? NOWHERE TO BE SEEN!
But then again wee Fergus had two things your "billionaire" has not got Money and Integrity!

I don't fall for anything, I am big enough to make my own conclusions, you on the other hand seem to believe everything that is posted negative towards Rangers. Fair do's thats your prerogative. However I don't see you posting nearly as much on your own page about your own team who by all admissions are top of the league but are no great shakes themselves, me thinks you maybe a wannabe turncoat. Sorry dude, despite our problems our stadium is full unlike your 2/3rds tip.
...And you call us Laptop loyal, when there is no evidence to prove otherwise that you have in fact attended any Celtic matches never mind visited ibrox in the past.
I for one never believed the Daily Record when they led with the "£10m front loaded" story either.

Gotta say warnock is a tool.no credibility for me. green jhedi

Agree4 Disagree0

I think you're missing the point here.

The Scottish media were spinning their usual yarns in saying that QPR (under Warnock) were lining up a bid for Jelavic.

Warnock is explaining the situation in ploite terms and telling you it was a load of Sh1te.

You can't blame the man for telling the truth.

Whether Warnock is a good or bad manager and the fact he is now unemployed in irrelevant. The point is, he did not rate Jelavic when he was QPR manager, and it was when he was QPR manager that the press were saying QPR were going to bid for him.

Agree0 Disagree2

I used to like warnock when he was with Sheffield Utd,

Championship football is his level though, and the guy is right, we did sign Diouff, and can't really talk about Barton

Im going to do a rare thing on this page and talk about football. Jelavic is out of the game tomorrow so what would everyone go with as their lineup, I'm not sure if Bartley is fit, apart from him we are without, Naismith, Whittaker, Broadfoot, Ness, Lafferty and Hemmings meaning Healy is the only striker we have fit. Perhaps McCoist will shuffle to a 4-2-3-1.
McGregor
McMillan Goian Bocanegra Papac
Davis Edu
Aluko Celik Wylde
Healy

GovanFR

Believable1 Unbelievable2

Govan FR: ah fitba talk! i think that looks like a balanced side but not much dig in middle apart from edu n you might get a hole between healy n his back up leaving him isolated. green jhedi

Agree1 Disagree0

I'll give the centre forward position a go will be better then healy, the guy is a joke, we don't have a hope in hell of winning the league with this team.

Agree1 Disagree0

This looks like a strong team,but given our past tactics a 4-5-1 is prob more likely with
Mcgreggor
Mcmillan Goian Bocanegra Papac
Mculloch
Davis Edu
Aluko Celik
Healy

What i think we'll look like 2mo!


Namba!

Agree1 Disagree0

Green Jhedi- I think Edu provides enough dig, we to be honest its the only option because I think using McCulloch is like playing with 10 men. I'm concerned that McCulloch is played as a striker, that would be awful. The anonymous poster give Ally a call you probably are better than Healy it wouldn't be difficult.

GovanFR

Agree0 Disagree0

Oh great another 6 months watching 4-5-1 expect we have healy instead of jelavic upfront, just when I thought things couldn't get any worse

Agree2 Disagree0

GovanFR: make you right mate,you noticed no celtic fans give edu stick? i rate him n dont think he's ever been used properly.be interesting to see mccoists team i think he's lucky its hibs as they are awful n seem to lack a bit of dig.mculloch up front! surely not. green jhedi

Agree0 Disagree0

Ye I'm one of the rare Rangers fans that rates Edu, he can tackle, he can shoot, has pace. There is plenty he needs to work on, like his passing and first touch but he has potential. I don't think it matters who we play at the moment we are seriously struggling to create and then take chances. Hopefully Mervan Celik will provide that spark.

GovanFR

Agree3 Disagree0

Good shout GovanFR, team could work. Bit of a gamble though. Not too confident about Healy and Wylde, and Celik's an unknown. Sure he'd be keen to make an impact (how's his fitness, sub maybe?) Could be doing with Fleck just now.

Good point, Both sets of fans deserve better in terms of entertainment. Celtic have the cash to attract better quality players than us at the moment, and possibly run away with a couple of leagues, but their biscuit tin is welded shut for some reason, whilst ours has the remains of a couple of Blue Ribbands rattling about in it

so Jelavic is not a £10m player ?

Is carroll a £35m player ?
is Torres a £50m player ?

Ger real you people. All players are only worth what someone is prepared to pay for them. So if Rangers ger £10m for him then he IS a £10m player.
If you take the ridiculous wages and transfer fees in the EPL into account, £10m and 20k a week is chicken feed, wake up to the times we live in for god's sake

Believable2 Unbelievable0

You're correct Carroll is a £35 million player and Torres is a £50m player, because that is what someone has paid for them.

Jelavic is not a £10m player because no one has paid that for him.

Agree5 Disagree0

A player is worth what someone pays for them, its very simple. If Jelavic is sold for £10 million then that is his value.

GovanFR

Agree2 Disagree1

Am sick of this arguement, the EPL is a far better quality of league. Players prices are astronimical and over inflated....Deal with it....Has Kaka been worth the £50M + that was spent on him?

Watching jelavic this year he cost us european progression with absolute sitters against so called weaker teams.
The gamble for these english teams is. Does Jelavic become a better player with better players around him (Have you seen him with croatia, not exactly setting the national team on fire there?)

It is speculative, but in all speculation, there are degrees of probability. The Gers retaining the league is more probable than most of the pash we hear from them across the way there. I disagree though, that if we do retain the title, our furry green friends will be left with no excuses.
The deny, deflect and delude experts will switch to default and we'll hear the same old same old ( it wuz aw the refs/sfa/fifa/paper's fault). there may even be some new fantasies. All speculation but all the same, I fervently look forward to hearing them.

Hey Jhedi, thanks for the response. And your right, I do look forward to knowing what's going on with my club, as do the entire blues family. There are rumours, speculation and a whole bunch of if's and buts and the sooner we know one way or the other the better. But that's the point, I don't know what will happen and despite your lot gleefully jumping on any half bit of rumour the tabloids can offer, neither do you. Whyte is playing his cards pretty close to his chest, maybe that's the reasonable, businesslike thing to do, maybe he knows as much as the rest of us (the outcome of the tax case could be huge either way) or maybe he's a crook. I'll wait and see, what other choice is there?
And eh, Yeah, my club could be looking at serious financial hardship for years to come, but laughing stock. Jhedi mate, I just don't find it that funny.

What the f**k is going on. I believe now is the time for the fans to demand the truth from Craig Whyte and his cronies. I remember demonstrations against John Greig a legend, whats in store for Ally?

Let's face it people, we are not going to see anyone else walk in the door, more likely ppl walking out. What I don't understand is we bring all these players in on trial, then give Celik a deal without a trial.

I think someone else is going the deals behind McCoists back as can be seen from the Nigerian boys reactions.

In my opinion after being a season ticket holder for 10 years and a fan for over 20, that these are gonna be dark days for our club.

Jelavic will be sold and no-one will be brought in to replace him as it will be a late deal struck in the 11th hour. Whyte has promised much and delivered nothing. Total farce again being made in the transfer market.

So what if he left, the truth is he probably isn't good enough. Ah don't care how bad things are right now, what we all need to do is except the current situation and hope for the best that we get out of this tax case.

Agree1 Disagree0

Jhedi: I'm not sure about the Euro thing, I believe the actual cut off there is March I may be wrong. To be honest this might be a royal cock up that no-one looked at before not submitting our figures.

McCoist had an interview with Lennon that was doctored. McCoist banned the BBC who later admitted it. They doctored the clip to look like McCoist grinned when being asked about sectarianism. You may think it's funny ( or other Celtic bhoys ) Im not sure, I think it's outrageous and leads me to question just how the BBC is run full stop!

Why would Whyte shout about money when he has the case to deal with?? I have no clue whether this man has or does not have money, however I am prepared to wait and see. This situation is rather unique if you ask me. Therefore I believe the fans need to be resilient, strong and trusting. The trust part of course is the hardest thing to do.

surprise, surprise another average unknown player dissatisfied with the rangers setup. it pains me to say this but this great club has no credibility and we are now a laughing stock. In years gone by when players were shown around ibrox and murray park, they were so impressed that they couldn't sign fast enough. now players who have been on trial are unhappy with the standard of player they are training along side as well as the unrest which clearly filters through. There is problems behind closed doors with backroom staff and at boardroom level and it will all end very badly. I am not, and never will be convinced that craig whyte is the man to run my beloved club and I FEAR THE WORST!

Believable4 Unbelievable0

None of this should be in public. All potential signings & talks should be held in private & only discussed when the player has signed.
If we can't afford salary and or signing fees we shouldn't talk about it at all!
This would never have happened under Walter Smith.

Agree2 Disagree1

Nonsense man, or at the very least, potential nonsense. The guys looking for a new club, gets sent home after one day. What do you think his agent is gonna say 'fair cop, my player's a bit pash'? No, he's gonna put the best spin on it he can think of. Every other guy that's come on trial has said how impressed with McCoist and the training set up they are, but you actually want to believe some rejects agent.

Get a grip.

Fellow bears let me blow another piece of Timys propoganda out of the water
Timy wants us to believe that we would lose all our honours if we enter administration, ok lets look at the reality

I believe that motherwell were in administartion from 2002 to 2004
Go to the official SPL website and look up their list of honours, yes you will see they have won one league title in 1931/32, i think a couple of scottish cups and something else

All still there in the history of the club

Nice try timy bring on your next propaganda piece

Smith- Hi welcome to The Rangers Football Club.I hope you will be very happy to sign for this once great club.By the way we chip in for the gas at 2.00 p.m.

Uchebo/Jaager/Muslimovic - TAXI....!!

Smith - Well Michael, we have some of the biggest names in football also here, Lafferty, Ortiz, McKay(best player in New Zealand or Austria or somewhere like that by the way son). We have turned down £20m for our star player so you can link up with him. No you can't meet him just now, he hasn't been seen for two days. So what do you think Michael......Michael, damn where did he go? Ally, have you seen that Uchebo, Urchinbo guy about?

FPLG - Who?

FPLG - Gordon why can't I fly out to watch players? This is getting to be a right reddy for me.

Smith - We don't trust you and can't afford the flights, Billy Davies is doing a great job scouting players anyway. Can you pay wee Billbo's taxi when he arrives...I've er em no change on me.

the longest running comedy show just keeps on giving:)

how many players, in the history of football have left a club after just 1 training session? i bet you could count them on one hand, yet rangers have seen 2 run for the hills within a week lol!!

you cant afford 3.5k a week for Jaager....ffs, this is the sort of money that killie and st.johnstone deal in lol!

jellyp'sh tries to convince salihi to go to rangers, inbetween dodging training and packing his bags lol!

what is it with rangers and their training? it must be gash, probably akin to the training i do before a game of 5's....and talking of 5-a-side, i heard this was the reason mckay and ortiz are so fed up of the place as well. training involves running for a bit, then 5 a side....thats it lol!!

PURE COMEDY GOLD!

What is going on? If we didnt want the big lad from Venlo why bother to bring him over? I would assume that if a club invites a player for a trial it is the club who would pay for travel, hotels etc for him and his agents. Why pay for a guy to come and not even greet him, very un Mccoist like. Is this a way of Ally showing that his hands are tied and didnt want the player in the first place, what ever the reasons it can only damage the club. Two mediocre players calling it a day after one day at the club, if its true very worrying times for the club.

Morning Ostriches, I see now Uchebo has cut short his trial because of "poor first impression" Ally never even met the lad, despite inviting him over.
Can you tell me what part of "you rangers fans are being conned, do you not understand?"
All these names being thrown about with no chance of signing, Uchebo was valued at £1m, you could not even raise £300k for sandanza so no chance of this deal happening, yet all you bears keep falling for the Rangers spin doctors, you deserve all that is happening for being so stupid. Timalloy

Without doubt if Rangers lose the tax case, they should become a pariah in football, as they deliberately chose to go down a road that they undoubtedley knew was at least a little bit twisted, in their desperation to continue what they saw as their right to dominate Scottish football. That people are even contemplating them coming out the other side of THE biggest scandal Scottish, and probably British football has ever known, and welcomed back to the top table, speaks volumes for the lack of trust most football supporters have for the integrity of the game in our country. With the blatant connivance of the the Scottish media they have been able to keep a lid on their murky dealings while transferring ownership of the club to someone who conducts his normal business running very close to the edge of morality, while taking advantage of every legal loophole he can find. Not exactly an example of an institution learning from it's mistakes and showing every intention to clean up it's act, or put another way, behaving with utmost good faith! It's amazing how we all expect the SFA and SPL will do everything within their power to help a club that has cheated, for years, every other club within their membership and have cited what happened with a club from the home of the the most corrupt league in the world (Serie A) as an example of how to deal with Rangers should they go into administration or worse. Why on earth would any league in in the world let a club, that has made no secret of the fact they want to leave for a 'bigger' league, re-enter in the event they go bust, without making them suffer for as many years as they were able to cheat the rest of the member clubs? Whether or not the other SPL clubs would suffer financially they should all be demanding justice should be seen so that the integrity, that they claim to value so highly, of Scottish football remains intact. I'm pretty certain I know of one club chairman who would vote against an easy ride for Rangers but wonder just how many would vote for what is right and just, as opposed to what benefits, they as individuals, get from helping Rangers.

I think that these clowns (ie. they think they are funny but in reality they are disturbing/disturbed individuals) are one or two people who are trying and succeeding in sowing the seeds of discontent in the Rangers support.
Wake up and smell the coffee guys. Stop rolling over and letting them wind you up. They have no idea what Rangers finances are like. They don't know who Whyte is never mind what money hes got or what his intentions are. They have no idea whether we will win or lose the tax case. They know NOTHING except that if they keep flinging enough mud, some of it will stick.
Easiest way to deal with them is simple - IGNORE them and get behind your team. I don't mean you should be sheep. Keep your own opinions and lets see what happens. United we stand, Divided we fall.

We all know we are in the sh*t financially. I think we are all fed up with the whole tax situation, but why don't we bite the bullet and get ourselves sorted once and for all. Let mcGregor, Davis, jela, whits, noisy and whoever would attract a fee. Let's have a couple of seasons where we keep a few experienced players like Boca, McCulloch, and a couple more and lets get the youth in. We will not win the league, we may struggle, but am sure the fans would keep going, it may be difficult watching but if there is a two year period of hardship and a plan built on sound financial sense that can see us start signings in say three years. The fans love to see some home grown talent and you never know we might find a gem or two that will probably never get the chance.

What about Alexander, McMillan, Bocanegra, Perry, Cole
Wylde, McCulloch, Hutton, Aluko, Lafferty, Celik.

Let me say McCulloch is only there cause its late and can't think of anyone else.
We may be able to get £6m for McGregor, £7m for Jela, £5m for Davis, £8m for naismith, £2m edu, £3m Whits, £500k Broadfoot, £2m Goian, £1.5m others. That is £35m. Might be enough to clear tax bill, then Whyte clears the debt as promised, although it would be the first promise he has kept.
Pretty radical I know but surely it is better than our club going into administration.

Believable1 Unbelievable4

35 mill ? There all on the nite boys ! If you go into a transfer window trying to flog your best players an other teams no ur desperate youl get nowhere near what they should be worth.. and we would struggle for 2nd place AND europe will be even more embarrassing

Agree2 Disagree0

Apart from your overpricing of our players (only my opinion of course) I agree with everything you've just said. As long as Ally or whoever is manager attempts to play flowing passing football I'd be more than happy to watch those young talented lads you've mentioned pull on the jersey.

The main flaw in your suggestion is that Rangers will get nowhere near the figures you ar quoting for the players.

Why would Whyte pay the bill if he can place the club in admin, bump everyone and then sell the club debt free for a profit?

Agree2 Disagree0

Wont get these types of fees for whittaker, davis or broadfoot. as for naisy i wouldnt sell him for any amount. jelavic, davis, mcgregor n anyone else i wouldnt mind, but wee naisy is different class, can see ally building a team around him when he's fit again, or at least he should. hes so important to us, as shown that without him we've struggled badly. i know a lot of fans will say one player doesnt make a team, well id say imagine he wasnt in our team at the start of the season....we'd have been well out this title race by now. anyone know when he's due back btw?
j1985

Agree0 Disagree1

I think your valuations are extremely optimistic people in england dont rate anybody up here I honestly think the most you could expect for jelly is 6.5 maybe 5 for mcgregor 2 for Davies 1 for edu 1.5 for whittikar a big 0 for broadfoot 1 for goian thats only 17 and dosnt even cover the money rangers owe whyte

Agree2 Disagree0

Nobody would pay any real money for naismith with his injury history good player but even without injury trouble would be worth nowhere near 8 million

What would whytes selling price? remember the 18m? green jhedi

Enjoyed your post mate and a lot of what you said makes sense, But. What if we decided today to have a fire sale. Let everyone know that our best players are for sale. Are interested clubs going to offer Big money ( I think not ). What if this was to happen and we get rid of our best players ( handing the Title to Septic ) then we find out We owe nothing to HMRC ( Win the Tax Case ) How stupid would that look. Yes, We would have money in the Bank to rebuild our Team but how long would that take. We are going to have to weather this storm for a while yet. But no matter what happens We will bounce back as we always do. We are Rangers, Were, Are and always will be the Worlds Greatest Club. We will learn from mistakes made and come back even stronger. It is the Rangers Way. Keep Calm and Carry On.

Hey

First time posting but why are we loaning more youth out the door ? Darren Cole for example ! We r short at right back , so why send your next right bk out on loan. The kid has talent ! He held his own on the champ league night in turkey and he was what 18-19 ? How do u think players like lee Wallace , Ashley Cole , Micah Richards all got to where they are ( no I'm Nt saying Cole will be as gd as Ashley Cole ) these guys got there chance thru the guy ahead of them being injured. Players like ness and Hutton are to me the perfect partnership for the future. Great passer and a hard tackler. Perry is another good young defender with time could b a key player. Perry n Danny Wilson had a great partnership. Hemmings aswell ! Where is he ? We r struggling for strikers yet again and still we don't play prob the fastest striker we have ! It's mental ! We have no money we get that so you use what u can. These players who have no clubs have none for a reason ! You think they if were that gd there old club would Nt be giving them new contracts ? Come on people ! We r scrapping the pits for players now. Rangers and Celtic don't sign the crop of Scottish talent for nothing.

Believable2 Unbelievable2

Lee Wallace ? Ur mental

Agree1 Disagree1

I think football has changed, I remember when sixteen year olds played at the top level. Now somebody aged 22 seems to be a youngster and have had virtually no playing time in the first team. Cole for example did well last year and suddenly disappeared. How are these guys meant to improve without playing. Given our precarious financial situation surely these guys deserve a chance to see if they can handle it.
