So we see the real potential on savings, per year, I consider our days of chucking away wages is coming to an end.
Imo we will save more on salary, hopefully tavernier davies cantwell hagi lawrence mb dessers matondo, offset new signings with the wages we pay my list.

Great post john. cheers. finally, player overheads dropping big time.
30 Jul 2024 13:14:51
Very good article John. The days of trying to buy success are over and we have to search high and low all over the world for these young rough diamonds that will cut it and polish up to keep us top and earn us big sell on fees. Yes we can still buy experience but not to be held to a kings ransom.
30 Jul 2024 13:18:33
Good information John ? a lot of wages saved, we need to get better value for money.
30 Jul 2024 13:22:24
Good post John ?
Reducing our wage bill is massive for us. We need to clear out vast majority of high earners and agree with your list of others that need to go. There are a number of those on your list that are not first 11 starters and having high earners not making major contribution has been our biggest problem.
30 Jul 2024 13:25:18
Nice update John, i would keep Dessers though. Can be torture to watch at times but he will improve. Took his goals well at the weekend.
30 Jul 2024 13:26:17
Agree gers 99.
30 Jul 2024 13:35:31
Gers I missed dowell from my list. Another we pay 1 million a year.
30 Jul 2024 13:45:32
Thanks for the info John ??????????.
30 Jul 2024 13:46:56
Good to see the wage bill being reduced but hopefully we sign or bring in on loan a CB, CM, and striker.
Excellent info John. ?.
30 Jul 2024 13:52:57
John your last statement on Dowell is absolutely tragic. Talk about a waste of money.
30 Jul 2024 14:04:27
Copland let’s not forget their is a limit to number of loan signings.
30 Jul 2024 14:12:43
?? Stretching it a bit there, John, by adding in the 2 loan players from last season who were signed under his watch.
It's all good saving money, but he's managed that by signing a cheaper, and more inferior player, than those who left. How is that going to get us success? It won't! Are fans just expected to pump in millions each year for nothing to show for it? That's all well in good if you are in the EPL, La Liga etc, but not when it's in a 2 horse league with you biggest, and hated rival.
So, on that basis, we better get used to 2nd place, and the tims, reaching, then beating our trophy haul, until they are well out of sight. If that's his plan, he betterget ready for the biggest backlash he's ever experienced. Supporters will not sit back and accept this.
Also, I know he said PC's job is safe, but will PC accept the situation we find ourselves in? I think there's more to come from this, and I fear it's not going to end well.

Excellent summary John and shows the progress we’re actually making.
30 Jul 2024 14:41:34
What’s the limit John?
30 Jul 2024 14:47:34
John, that's an excellent post. I like the wages of those new signings, much more sensible. It's been a good few days for the club, with hopefully more players to come and go.
30 Jul 2024 14:56:10
Sunshine always one, why do we f bother.
U come up with a better summation that the Usaul garbage.
Copland it’s complicated but says total is six, ie in’s and outs. Does not include acade, but example last year Dundee had ten.
30 Jul 2024 15:04:27
Sunshine the players we got rid of aren’t good enough you have said that.
We needed to get those players off wage bill. Any new signing that is fit is better than Jack and roofe that’s for sure. They were never fit.
30 Jul 2024 15:34:35
So spent about 2.5 after saving around 10. Good figures. Me personally I’ll wait until the season pans out before I panic.
30 Jul 2024 16:18:55
It will all come down to performances. If these lads hit the ground running and we are going toe to toes with Celtic then it will be deemed a master stroke.
If after the Celtic game we are 8 or 9 points behind you will be hearing sack the board chants. Rightly in wrongly a lot of rangers fans expect the team to be at least a match to Celtic for all the hard earned cash they pump in and that will never change.
30 Jul 2024 16:52:34
Cheers John.
30 Jul 2024 16:58:55
It's not just us as Bennett said, all clubs must cut their costs and can't keep throwing wages w no return.
Great Post John.
30 Jul 2024 18:10:44
Sunshine if they miss out on champions league let's see where they are.
