Were did david healy go? {Ed039's Note - He is currently "unattached" last I heard Fleetwood Town were looking at him)

Believable20 Unbelievable16

I heard he was almost signing for Carlisle united , so much for a true blue

Agree1 Disagree1

True blue? dont talk p### ally didnt want him healey wanted to stay for peanuts.....coisty also treated him like s*** last season

Agree0 Disagree0

Preston fan here ! Healy supposedly interesting his former club Preston north end

Agree0 Disagree0

Hopefully Healy is back in NI....as far away from Ibrox as possible. What a waste of space and money! Totally useless! I wouldnt even take him now we are in the 3rd div.

Agree0 Disagree0

You hardly criticise Healy he wasn't offered a new contract am sure he would have signed in a heart beat so don't put him in the same category as the FUDZ that walked away. {Ed039's Note - I think he would have signed again if he had been offered terms)

Agree0 Disagree0

He is rotten anyway, would rather a youngster got a chance than that waste of space, so dont really care where he is.

Agree0 Disagree0

AHA Fleetwood Town

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Aug 2012 17:01:48
So thats


Sandaza
Sheilds
Black
Kyle
Cribrari

Anyone got any other possibilities, we still need around 10 more players..... {Ed039's Note - No we certainly do not)

Believable14 Unbelievable41

Thats enough players mate its the 3rd div

Agree2 Disagree0

I agree with the Ed on this.

I am wondering why we need to spend so much money to get out of the next two divisions. Surely a sensible ploy would be to fatten up the funds for when we need them rather than letting them drip away when not necessary.

Does Green know that we will be accelerated to a higher league before the transfer ban is up?

Alternatively is there any advantage to him and the way he has assets tied up to force us back into administration by taking on costs he cannot meet?

I suspect being accelerated up the leagues with reconstruction is prob more realistic but at the same time something is not adding up for me - perhaps just scarred from the Whyte era!

Agree1 Disagree0

10 players? why? have you seen the size of our youth squad? muppet!

Agree0 Disagree0

We do not what ed?

we do need about 10 more players the squad is thread bare and needs to last for two seasons, you can keep saying its time to bleed the youngsters which i agree with but you cannot rely on them, they are not good enough and thats fact. and i can still see a few more exits aswell {Ed039's Note - These experienced guys need to bleed the youngsters through, there is no point in having a youth system if as you say you cant rely on them, another 10 players is pointless, guys like McKay etc must step up to the plate now, this is why they stayed and didnt walk)

Agree1 Disagree0

I think maybe another 3-5 experienced signings maximum given that we will probably lose Edu, Wallace etc. That should be more than enough to see us through and help bring the young players on.

Rangers1

Agree0 Disagree0

We haven't actually spent any money on these players so looks like a good investment to me. Davis's wages alone will pay for them. Good mix of experienced players and youth will see us through!

Agree3 Disagree0

Think that will be the last of the so called big players? but i would expect a few promising youngsters from the lower leagues...mark.

Agree0 Disagree0

Remember we lost 22 players since January, losing around 15m outgoings on wages. We have only signed 5 players, on an average of around 5k a week.
Steven Davis was on about these 5 guys combined, it's not as if we are spending crazy money.
I do agree though we have enough players now.

Agree1 Disagree0

If we wernt buying players people would be moaning, you can never win in footie!

i think 2 more players then let the youngsters flourish!!

Agree2 Disagree0

Yous are deluded we have lost 23 players since jan and yous think 5 players in is enough none of yous know anything about rangets includes u ed {Ed039's Note - I know nothing about Rangers? Try me. If you think we need a total of 15 players coming in on top of the guys and youngsters that were left over then you know nothing about football and SFL3, away you go and give me peace, and BTW, by the looks of your post you cant even spell Rangers!!)

Agree1 Disagree0

Fact we should not be signing injury prone kevin kyle he is just another tall guy for us to boot the ball long to and we already have mcculloch for that. these guys are a waste of time and wages which we could be saving by blooding youngsters into the team i can see us being in administration this time next season and it is not doom and gloom but realism 5000 a week for a guy like sandaza your having a laugh and ian black will be booked more times than he plays for rangers he will spend most of his time suspended. sheils is the only one i would have signed. and i have a sneaky feeling that photo's will be released in coming days showing craig whyte and charles green together you must be a fool if you think whyte is still not involved in rangers. bad times ahead i fear again.

Agree1 Disagree4

Four players are still going to walk minimum.
Others will get long and short term injured.
Others will leave because they want to before we can sign again. 2 years.
We need about 8 players who can play first team. If Ally doesn't get them jn he's negligent.

Agree2 Disagree0

Maybe this is part of Green's masterplan, buy in the cheap players and then get them through to the SPL and sell them on at a profit, I am sure i read that someone within their consortium was trying to do that with players contracts, not 100% sure.....as i have said before and what really worries me is this is a huge gamble to get out of these leagues in three seasons....I hope it works. if it does not then as Nat King Cole sung. there maybe trouble ahead......

Bill

Agree0 Disagree0

Shows how much trouble we are in when were signing no hope errs apart from sandaza kk is one of the worst players I've seen how many reject will we continue to sign rangers fc rangers rejects more like

Agree0 Disagree4

I think the real reason they are trying to sign a bit of quality is that Ally fancies having a real go at winning the league cup or the scottish cup. I think they realise the league campaign could get monotonous so a wee cup run will keep the fans happy and more importantly keep them coming through the gates.

Agree2 Disagree0

There is no way we are getting accelerated up any leagues. Neve going to happen, especially after ally and greens outbursts.

Agree0 Disagree1

For fear of repeating myself. Where is the money to pay these wages coming from? {Ed039's Note - Echoooooooo lol)

Agree1 Disagree0

Ed i see your point about the youth system etc, but you have to do the math, we have lost 23 players in the last 6 months, you cannot surely believe signing these 5 guys is enough for another two seasons, bearing in mind people may leave, all the cup games, 36 league games, injurys that will occur. Im sorry but we need at least another half a dozen bodies in the squad, Im al for bleeding youngsters in but at the end of the day we still needs established players that can guarentee results, its not as if weve spent any money, as someone has stated, davis made more than these 5 players put together, so i dont think its over the top spending. (and to the poster that called me a muppet, if that makes you feel the big man over a football forum, im not going to argue back, i pity you!) {Ed039's Note - I dont disagree that new faces are needed, just not 15 that has been suggested. 11 starting and 5 subs is all you can name)

Agree1 Disagree0

2/3 more I think we could benefit from a centre mid who can control a game in an advanced position, not really got names in mind but somebody like the Guy from Finland who was at Killie a couple of seasons ago. I feel we don't have players who like to get on the ball and control a game and we're still going to rely on a punt up the park to mcCollouch or Kyle,

I agree tat was need to bleed a few young ones into the team but to rely on them week in and week out is unfair on them

Agree1 Disagree1

We need to be really careful here...the crowds will turn up initially but will soon get fed up watching third rate football..for 3 years. We don't want to end up in another financial situation paying these seasoned players.

Agree1 Disagree1

We need an experienced keeper as cover for Alexander. {Ed039's Note - Would you not be gutted if you were Scott Gallagher who has come through the youth system at Murray Park to be told you were not good enough to be a back up in SFL3?)

Agree2 Disagree1

Dont start getting smart ed who said we need another 15 players away u go and concentrate on ur beloved england u t**t and spelling was accident u are clueless about scottish ftball we lose 23 players but u think 5 replacements is enough remember we cant sign anybody for a yr after 31st and another thing start getting ur page updated .ore often instead of every 5 6 hours u lazy b**tard shouldnt even bean ed {Ed039's Note - Away you go ya tit, I never said we dont need another 15 players, we dont need 15 players altogether, as for being lazy, you work 50 hours a week, have a young family and see how much time you have to do stuff, away and spend the rest of your giro on superlager)

Agree1 Disagree1

Do they not already play in the spl and are free ? so how would they be worth more getting back ? {Ed039's Note - What??)

Agree0 Disagree1

Money is coming from investors and season ticket sales, and money made from players, for example 800k we got for davis and the minimum 300k we will get from Edu sale, please start having some faith or the club can never move forward

Agree2 Disagree0

This ed has not got a clue about rangers u said try me il try u alright do u go to games have u been there in our hour of need i doubt it very much so instead of ut smart comments and one word answers start getting this page up to scratch or u go away and gies peace and let sbody who knows what they are talking about if it was down to u u would have a squad of 14 and they would all be kids in it totally clueless {Ed039's Note - Hahaha, Season Ticket holder for 21 years so dont give me any of your crap nameless coward poster. Away and play Champ Manager)

Agree0 Disagree0

Say we get celtic in the cup aswell, again im all for playing youngsters and i have my season ticket but i still want to see us win, so more experienced players are essential, i think ally has done well thus far, and you need to remember we did have good youngsters who were beginning to establish themselves but chose to leave, Ness, McCabe

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed i think he was replying to my comment....I agree how can the be of more value, i don't know that is my worry, where is the money coming from is my concern. but ed, I agree with you the only way to make money for the club is to bring youth through over a DECADE with experienced players around them to help out then sell for a profit to stablize the club.

Bill

Agree0 Disagree0

Why does everyone think 'they are only costing the same amount as Davis combines' is a valid argument. The Davis salary was there when Rangers were an SPL side with the TV money, sponsorship, season tickets, prize money and even then the wage bill was completely unsustainable. People need to forget what went before that business model did not work the new reality is SFL 3

Agree0 Disagree0

We need a few more not loads. Then if others want to leave one in one out after that. Hopefully all sorted before last few days of window. Could do without Carlos and goian for example being sold at tea time on the 31st.

Agree0 Disagree0

Thought young barrie mckay and andrew little and lewis macleod sailed throught tonights game , macleod kept everything simple and little looks better as a right mid than forward ??

Agree0 Disagree0

A mix of youth and experience is what is required, generally with a higher volume of experienced players who can assist in blooding the youngsters into the first team. Also bearing in mind that we are unable to sign players for the next 2 or 3 Transfer Windows (could someone please confirm). McCoist I also believe will attempt to bring in a couple of players who are capable of playing in multiple positions (similar to the way in which WS utilised Whittaker at right back, left back, centre back, central midfield and right midfield). Players of that nature assist in creating a higher degree of squad depth.

Responding to a previous post, an experienced back-up Goalkeeper is not needed - Scott Gallagher will deserve his chance should he be given one and Blair Currie was the youngest First Team Goalkeeper in the country when he was on loan at Hamilton last season.

Agree1 Disagree0

The "Only on what Davis is on" is valid IMO, because you still have the Mcgregor, Whittaker and Naismith wages, which were all around the same, never mind the other 18 players wages that left.
So if we are spending less that a quarter on wages than we were previously, we can afford a few more guys, even with reduced income.
If we have an average wage of 5k a week, we could have 20 players costing 5m a season, and cover that with season ticket money, and matchday tickets.

The notion that Rangers have "no money" is wrong.

Agree0 Disagree0

I totally agree, where is the money coming from, a player getting £5000 per week actually costs the club £10,000 per week, 3rd division football will never cover the wages alone, and by 4 years time rangers could be in debt upto the eyeballs. jj (and ed dont you leave the pc again, so idiots can get their ramblings posted quicker) {Ed001's Note - I will tie him to his PC for you mate!}

Agree0 Disagree0

We defo need at least 6 - 10 more. this squad has to do us until jan 2014. we still need a right winger not to mention a creative midfielder. but we will need a few squad players as back up

Agree0 Disagree0

It's time for McKay to step up? Matthew McKay left in January! Don't need another 10 players, another 3 or 4 would be sufficient. Plus can't see anyone else leaving other than Edu and possibly Bedoya

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree with most posts here. Yes Rangers need to be careful on who we sign and on what wages we sign them. K Kyle is not the type of player Rangers should be signing with his current injury prone nature. I will say however Div 3 is not SPL. Billy the Butcher fae fife doesnt care if he snaps the leg of the 18 year old Rangers are bringing through the ranks. Billy can go back to his JOB where as the Young Player who got kicked about the pitch like a dead dog will be out on injury. What im saying is we need more CHEAP/FREE experienced players with a decent bit of skill this is only DIV 3 after all, part time teams with low incomes. Rangers signing players all be it not the top SPL players were used to but is needed with some gental bleeding of the young guns to help out. As said above we lost 23 players so far and thats a huge cut in wages. If people support the team and not just the a team that HAS TO WIN every game ie the GLORY HUNTERS then Rangers will get back to SPL in 3 years. Stronger Fitter and better off finacialy. Rangers have been kicked when they are down and now need the full support of REAL Rangers supporters to have some Faith. {Ed001's Note - you obviously have no idea about the mentality of a semi pro! They are not there to snap legs, that is an offensive and imbecilic comment. They all dream of the day they get the chance to turn pro, they want to play against teams like Rangers, and perform at their best, in the hope that they will get the chance to play at a higher level. They aren't going to get that by breaking legs, unless they are called Ian Black of course.......}

Agree1 Disagree0

And the notion that The Rangers owe clubs money (As a condition of membership) is FACT , and as yet remains unpaid (£3m plus)

Agree0 Disagree0

I am with the Ed all the way. He talks sense and has perspective. Some internet cowboys on here do not have the first clue and seem to believe any claptrap they want.

Agree0 Disagree0

I believe there is a size limit for a squad in the SFL, is there not ?

Agree0 Disagree0

Is there not a limit to the number of players a team in division three can sign? Squad capped at 22 players?

Agree0 Disagree1

Talk of strengthening the squad further (at greater cost) surprises me. Beating East Fife 4-0 is exactly the kind of place Rangers needs to be. Nothing more is required. The current squad will walk SFL3 and do pretty well in the cups too. Nothing else to chase.

Agree0 Disagree0

Pay the creditors, not players

Agree1 Disagree0

Oh dear!

Why all the animosity towards the Ed?

The 15 he mentioned was clearly the 5 in plus the 10 more mentioned prior.

Ed did not even say we dont need any more just not 10 more.

Well in Ed. I have full respect for anyone who takes on an extra role in life over and above a full time job and a family etc.

I personally do think we need more players but not 10. Another 5-7 should suffice. I do agree with givingyouth a chance but we are facing 18 months with no signings, injuries and possibly a raft more leaving.

Also if the powers that be do change the structure of the leagues at the end of next season this could result in us winning Div 3 and moving into 2nd tier SPL of 16 teams. (Depending on how they choose to re-structure. Therefore we could end up back in SPL in 2 years and will need the backbone of a team to survive there within those 18 months.

Bluegenius {Ed039's Note - Thank you)

Agree0 Disagree0

To the genius economist who wants to spend all season ticket money on wages. What about all of the other operating costs? Rates, stadium upkeep, supplies etc need to be paid for and I doubt a good line of credit has been established for the club. Also as im sure everyone knows tax needs to be paid. After all the financial trauma surely a bit of caution would be wise?

Agree0 Disagree1

Matthew McKay left in Jan? WTF you on about? Shows how much of a fan you are when you don't know it was young Barry McKay playing for us.

Rangers1

Agree1 Disagree0

If the wage bill is only going to be 5 million per yer for 3 years which green quoted then its well within our affordibility, once we get investors money , TV money, Sponsorship and merchindise money and season ticket money, im sorry but an average decent SPL player gets 5k p/w so thats what we have to pay, rangers have no debt and will turnover around 50million pound so i have to say i think its controllable, its not as if green has spent millions on anyone. as for the guy who posted above about glory hunters, fans who buy there season ticket and have done for years have just as much right to want rangers to win every game and support the club as any other football fan, your comment is thoughtless and irrelevent, i'll always support rangers no matter where there playing but im still entitled to want them to win every week, and i have to agree with ed, players that will be playing against rangers will be out to prove themselves at the highest level they will get the chance to play against not just to try and hack people down

Agree0 Disagree0

To the poster above yes it should walk SFL3 but remember we need a squad for two seasons not 1, so the squad needs depth, if there were 3 or 4 injuries last night we would have barely have been able to field a team! and ally will want to win 1 of the cups not just doo well, no point having a team that can just walk SFL3 but then not compete against Celtic or hearts for example in the cup, i think every rangers fan knowes we will walk div 2 and 3 but we still have a massive schedule and players could leave, remember players could leave at the end of this season aswell if theve had enough of low level football, my original post i said we need about 10 players, i would say mabey 5 or 6 are still required and i stick by that, and no there is no squad limit for the SFL, dont be daft why would there be.

Agree0 Disagree0

The level of signings suggest cup runs are a massive priority financially. There has to be more motivation past December, the fans may drift away once the Div 3 title is done and dusted by Christmas. Its not the worst idea to build a team capable of competing with the SPL in the cups. I don't expect 40,000 to turn up every home game aganst Div 3 opponents, but they will in the cups against SPL opponents.
A decent team with a chance of cup success may also convince more fans to buy season tickets. To be fair Celtic are no world beaters and it is not impossible Rangers or someone else may beat them in the cups.

18 home games in the league plus approx 8 or10 cup games (times two years) may be enough to break even.
They also need to plan just in case there is a SPL 2 next year.

The key is to keep the fans motivated after all the dust settles and winter sets in.

Its a bit of a gamble but not on the scale of SDM and CL football.

Agree0 Disagree0

Its shiels not shields!

Agree0 Disagree0

"no there is no squad limit for the SFL, dont be daft why would there be"
Try reading the rules.
Rule 115.2
"A club shall be permitted to register, at any one time, up to a maximum of
22 players, who have reached the age of 21 years on 1st January of the
appropriate year. The maximum number of 22 players includes players
registered by means of a temporary transfer. Additional players may be
registered by a club, however such players must be under 21 years of age
on 1st January of the appropriate year."

Great Sandaza,cribari,Kyle,black,shields .... Signed but we need to keep singing more player for I think tom Hatley is a brilliant but we need to bring much more in {Ed039's Note - Or ask these experienced players to help bleed some youngsters)

Believable13 Unbelievable15

Don't need many more, maybe a fast winger and a full back, bring on the youngsters

Agree0 Disagree0

Well said ED039 use the ban to our advantage and build up a strong young team keen to play for the jersey not for EBT,s

Agree0 Disagree1

07 Aug 2012 15:32:47
Anyone know what's happening with Beattie?? {Ed039's Note - Nothing)

Believable3 Unbelievable14

I posted last night Beatts going to St johnstone...Only wanted 2k and Green rufused to give him it...offered him 1k +500 appearance....verbally...no proper offer was ever put to him.

Agree0 Disagree1

Signing all these players on long term deals as soon as get back to spl will have create hole new team once again as the team will never be able to challenge Celtic

Agree1 Disagree0

Avoid..avoid..avoid...injury prone player..nae good to us

Agree0 Disagree1

Ally states tonight he's hoping to push thru the Beattie signing

Agree0 Disagree0

To the second comment - Sandaza is a player we tried to sign whilst still in the SPL so the staff obviously believed he was good enough to play for us there and hence challenge Celtic and again with Dean Shiels, a player that I'm sure they had their eye on all last season and would have looked to move for him if we were still in the SPL so your comment seems pretty invalid. I'll give you Kyle though, that's a gamble but he's only on a one year contract which makes sense, I really think if you examine all the deals that have been given so far you can see that they are all fairly prudent financially speaking.

Agree0 Disagree0

Beattie offered longer term plan (1 yr+) but wanted better short term cash. was dependant on us getting to SPL guaranteed next season and MCoiist couldn't guarantee.

Agree0 Disagree0

Beattie didnt ask for any guarantees utter pish post

Agree0 Disagree0

Shoddy treatment of a professional. Bottom line.

Agree0 Disagree0

Beattie saw sense...

Iain

Agree0 Disagree0

A few of my mates met Beattie at a wedding reception last Thursday night and he showed my mate his phone repeatedly trying to call Ally and he was diverting his calls.... I sound like one of those idiots who make up ridiculous stories but believe it or don't believe it, I wont lose sleep over it.

Agree0 Disagree0

Kevin Kyle signs one year deal to make it a hatrick of signing for the gers.

Believable11 Unbelievable14

Wow what a signing quality pmsfl

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Aug 2012 14:37:00
Kevin Kyle signed 1 year deal, rangers are going thrash some of these teams in 3rd division, no need to sign these players of this standard for 3rd division IMO.

Believable9 Unbelievable20

We are obviously putting a squad together to try and have a decent run at both league and fa cups, remember its all about income for us right now, the more cup games, the more income we can generate as was shown tonight

Believable21 Unbelievable23

Your are welcome to him

Agree0 Disagree1

This hasn't been confirmed yet

Agree0 Disagree4

I would rather have pushed the boat and got beattie

Agree0 Disagree0

Was on Rangersmedia when I saw it. Nothing official yet though

Agree0 Disagree0

It has beeen confirmed RFC website

Agree1 Disagree0

It has been confirmed just on sky sports news.

Agree0 Disagree0

I cannot believe we've signed Kevin Kyle. I'm in my mid forties and am now hunting for ma old boots ibrox here I came.

Blueice

Agree0 Disagree1

Even when we are in div 3 the mhankies just can't leave it alone wrtp

Agree1 Disagree0

Its on the BBC website as well. I would say its believable.

Agree1 Disagree0

Kyle confirmed along with Sandaza and Cabari.Beattie seems highly unlikely now.Bit strange Kyle only signed for 1 year-what if he recaputures best form,stays injury free.Yeah unlikely but welcome onboard! {Ed039's Note - If he stays injury free and on form then Rangers can sign him on a new deal as we will hold his registration)

Agree1 Disagree0

These signings and also the targets are an utter joke we should be concetrating on youth and not signing players that teams in the spl don't even want i would rather bring young guys in even if it did mean taking a year or two longer to get back in the spl. what a waste of wages on these guys and we can barely afford them i can see us being back in administration this time next year and back to square one. charles green i do not trust you one little bit and i never will. your whyte's puppet.

Agree1 Disagree1

Hope its a pay as play deal, the guys injury problems are horrendous !

Agree0 Disagree1

Your welcome to him? Another one on the wrong rumours page do us a favour mate and worry bout ur own team

Agree1 Disagree0

Confirmed on radio at 3 oclock

Agree0 Disagree0

We could of done better than a crock that never kicked a ball all season last year

Agree0 Disagree1

Not my favourite buy,,but welcome to Ibrox mate,,we need all the help we can get

Agree1 Disagree0

Beattie offer still on the table

Agree0 Disagree1

Big kyle will be a no bad signing,but i fear we wont see much of the big man due to injuries,i hope im proved wrong,also cribani will do a job at centre half,we were linked with him a couple of years ago,but the deal never happened, {Ed039's Note - He will not play on any of the atrificial surfaces thats for sure)

Agree0 Disagree0

Is there anything unbelievable about this?It happened,full stop.

Agree1 Disagree0

Too much money for one year in the 3rd then expire in the middle of a transfer ban {Ed039's Note - He can be offered a new contract, the transfer ban does not stop us offering new deals to players who are out of contract at end of season)

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed039's Note - He can be offered a new contract ... every club in the world can offer him a new contract -----Ed039's second note - Whats your point?

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Aug 2012 12:58:31
Sandaza is now a Ger . . Welcome aboard. . Stv website

Believable23 Unbelievable21

This is just a thought, not a rumour, but there is a guy who is a very prolific goal scorer in the third division by the name of Rory McAllister, he wouldn't warrant a big signing fee or big wage. I really think we should try and sign him {Ed039's Note - No need now with McCulloch, Little, Sandaza, Shiels etc)

Agree0 Disagree0

Sandaza was with St Johnstone who finished 6th in the SPL with 50 points last year. So should have no probs in sfl3. Just concerned its a message to our academy boys that they're not as good as St Johnstone or can't be trusted to win sfl3.

Agree0 Disagree0

Rory Mcalister plays part time football through choice as he doesn't want to go full time at the moment. He is still doing his training in his full time job and wants to complete this so that he has a career after football. I agree that he'd be a good signing but now we have Sandaza, Little, McCulloch and looking like Kyle I don't think we need him

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Aug 2012 12:33:18
Sandaza signed 4 year contract £ 5000 a week

Garyy :)! Got good contacts

Believable24 Unbelievable17

SO EXCITED, JUST CANT HIDE IT, GONNA GONNA GONNA BEEEE GREAT TONIGHT! well chappys no bad players onboard, the filth havent even signed any, Sandaza,Black,Sheilds all cracking players who have the ability to play in the SPL for many years, well done Rangers, smile back on my face x

Agree0 Disagree0

Fit them to pay their debts to other clubs first

Agree0 Disagree0

Sandaza has signed a THREE year contract

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't think they'll be playing in SPL for many years!!

Agree0 Disagree0

Never thought I'd here that lot of players described on here as "cracking" :-( sad times indeed.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think they have....part of registration agreement

Agree0 Disagree0

If they had the ability to play in the SPL for many years why are they not? What SPl club bid for them? None!! and just who is paying their wages? Is this not why your old old club ended up liquidated, overspending and living outwith their means.

Agree0 Disagree0

'the filth'? Charming.

Agree0 Disagree0

Let's face it, these players have no ambition but are getting a decent wage from Rangers. If they stay fit and continue to be motivated then that's fine..if not we could have problems. Stick with the younger, hungrier players I say !

Agree0 Disagree0

Ha ha ha ,yeah they are cracking players, jealous aye

Agree0 Disagree0

We need cracking players to get us to Div 2 coz we are banned for signing players for a year fool, topping up just now for the long road ahead, not gonna spend for over a year now, how come folk no think eh!

Agree0 Disagree0

C mon Ed ewot do you think o this situation {Ed039's Note - If the money is there, then fair enough. I just dont want to see too many signings like this, if there are going to be new signings then maybe some journey men that are hardended and done the rounds but wont cost too much and youth players)

Agree0 Disagree0

To the very excited fan at the top: you're right, all those players are good enough for the spl... Third or fourth place in the spl. And by the time they get there, they'll be getting well into their 30s. By then, they'll be pushing for a Europa league place I'm sure. Incidentally, the'filth have a good enough squad to rule Scottish football for the foreseeable future so, no need for any signings, the Rangers needed signing because all their players, ahem, walked away.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sandaza has signed 5k a week deal
Good signing what u reckon ? {Ed039's Note - Does SFL3 warrant a £5k a week striker, no doubt he will score goals though)

Believable19 Unbelievable18

Just in time for club suspension. {Ed039's Note - You are full of it pal, delusional to the max)

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi ed 39 what do you think about only being in div 3 for 1 year ,then the sfa move the goalposts for gers to be in spl 2 if it gets up and running ,i think they hav e planned for this but dont want to say anything till the present fire dies down doug t.s.o {Ed039's Note - Of course there is the possibility Doug, the SFA and SPL will explore all opportunites to ensure that pockets are lined but I hope it doesnt happen)

Agree0 Disagree0

Good signing but hope he doesnt get fazed by the 3 Div eh, gonna be a right wake up call for all players, but hey just gonna make us stronger as a group to charge up tae the SPL, I FEEL THIS IS GONNA BE A FUNKY 3 YEAR TOUR 12-16

Agree0 Disagree0

Is no one concerned about the money that's being thrown about for players in Division 3? It seems leassons have not been learnt

Agree0 Disagree1

I am concerned with the wages that all these new signings are apparently on. I heard that Alexander is on £12K a week and read a few other new signings being offered SPL wages to play in Div 3. How will this work ? With rates bills coming in around £100K a month for Ibrox and Murray Park, I hope the club doesn't go into the red again very quickly with all these bills. I hope Green isn't planning to run the club at a huge loss and do what the rumours are and sell in 3 years, making himself a nice profit and leaving a debt ridden club for the next person...like Murray, although Murray didn't make a profit with his £1 sale to Whyte.

Agree0 Disagree0

SPL quality but would hardly be challenging for honours between McCulloch, Shields, Black and Sandaza that's £34,000 a week for Div 3. Not to mention Goian, Bocanegra, Edu, Wallace, Broadfoot, the list goes on.... Has no one learned anything from past experience time to live by our means.

Agree0 Disagree0

Not concerned at all mate . these players will do a great job for us.

Agree0 Disagree0

Like everyone else, that kind of money is a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Great that the money is available (how?) but concerned that it won't be sustainable.

Agree0 Disagree0

It would seem that Mr Green would like 'The Rangers' to enter administration as quickly as possible. No quality revenue streams, Ibrox in serious need of hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of repairs, not a bank worth it's salt willing to give 'The Rangers' a line of credit... It's not looking good. I'll give it till Christmas. {Ed039's Note - But you dont know how much investment he has, this is the problem, I dont think administration will happen as people have been commenting)

Agree0 Disagree0

Is no one concerned about the money that's being thrown about for players in Division 3? It seems leassons have not been learnt. All the players in only takes up davises wage so no.

Agree0 Disagree0

This guy has obviously signed for the long haul so give him credit. He knows you will move up he leagues and wants to be a part of it. What a story...

Agree0 Disagree0

Where is the cash coming from to pay this level of wages ?

Agree0 Disagree0

We have to pay good money coz remember these players HAVE to get us to Div 1, failure to get back to back promotion would defo kill us off troops, thats why we are spending Greens money, hes taken a gamble as well, yes ok hes always gonna make a profit but hey hes given us a life line in are hour in need, he needs us to get to the spl to generate more money in HIS pockets when he sells us

Agree0 Disagree0

"Not concerned at all mate". What planet are you on? Do you know what happened to Rangers, and now you want the same for The Rangers. Are you clueless, heading for proper financial meltdown this time, and a stdium up for sale. All enquiries to Whyte/Green Real Estate.

Agree0 Disagree0

Probably not, but will be suitable to help push on next year and year after.....not just buying for division 3....can't buy for next season mind. Reckon they have an eye on pushing for the cups too

Agree0 Disagree0

Was hoping for younger, hungrier players. Hope we don't regret this !

Agree0 Disagree0

Green and his investors are funding the wage bill. He's hoping the tribunal gives us some cash for ex players also. 1.5 mill for Naismith would pay quite a few wages !

We gotta remember this embargo is coming and we need to ensure we have the quality needed to get promotion not just from div 3 but div 2 also.

Ally McCoist was handed a double boost today when both Francisco Sandaza and Emilson Cribari agreed to sign for Rangers, RangersMedia understands.

Sandaza is no stranger to Rangers fans, having played against the Ibrox outfit for Dundee United, and latterly St. Johnstone. Indeed, McCoist attempted to sign up the Spaniard back in January, but nothing came to fruition.

However, he has finally got his man, as the striker who netted over a goal every other game for St. Johnstone last year signs on at Ibrox.

On the other hand, Cribari will perhaps be less well known in Scotland, having spent the bulk of his career in Serie A. A centre back, the Brazilian has made over 230 appearances in the Italian top flight for the likes of Empoli, Lazio and Napoli.

Like Sandaza, he is a player to have been previously linked with a move to Ibrox, having been rumoured to be in talks with the club last summer. However, he opted to return home to play for Cruzeiro, in an ill fated spell which saw the 32 year old make just 5 appearances for the Brazilian giants.

Having signed another centre back, it looks like one of Dorin Goian or Carlos Bacanegra may be out the door. Similarly, the Sandaza signing is likely to signal an end of the pursuit for former Scottish internationalists Kevin Kyle and Craig Beattie.

Believable10 Unbelievable11

Why are we signing all these hasbeens instead of investing in youth and gradually bringing them through from 3 rd div to second to 1st to premier.

They would have a sell on value and Rangers would grow together as a team.

A mix of Youth and senior players is the way forward.

Craig Beattie to sign for St Johnstone tomorrow afternoon, if he doesn't hear back from Rangers by 12 noon.
McCoist has blanked his calls all weekend, despite claiming that he wants him, and Green has ignored Mel Stein since last Wednesday after making Beatts an embarrassing offer.
Meeting arranged in Stirling with Steve Lomas at 1pm.

Believable29 Unbelievable43

This could be true as I saw Steve Lomas in Stirling

Agree0 Disagree0

Was the embarrassing offer to play for rangers?

Whytey

Agree0 Disagree2

Craig beattie is p*sh and should give it up

He did nothing at RFC and won't do much in div 3

If RFC offer anything it should be £1K per week + £200 per goal

Agree0 Disagree0

High Noon, that`s a bit dramatic.

Agree0 Disagree0

Its true...Saints train at Stirling Uni which also suits Beattie only need to go to Perth on match days.
Gers have one last shout if we want him.

Agree0 Disagree0

& what did Craig Beattie & Steve lomas have for breakfast this morning as they seem to be keeping u up to date with everything else

Agree0 Disagree0

Surely not, he doesn't do walking away apparantly....

Agree0 Disagree0

Rumour is they offered him a crap D3 one year deal but with increase and incentives subject to getting into a restructured SPL for the 2013/14 season. Beattie asked for proof of any restructucure and Green/McCoist can't/haven't been able to do so. {Ed039's Note - What a load of crap)

Agree0 Disagree0

Almost as embarrasing as yous nipping in and signing your superstar demis samaras ( the white rose of athens ,oops that was nana ) lol doug t.s.o

Agree0 Disagree0

Heard tht exact same from Beattie himself at the fort his agents being getting ignored since last Monday. Shocking man would be a great signing

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont need him just signed sandaza!! stv

Agree0 Disagree0

Thats right my mates mrs who live on the moon seen him txtn lomas last night.

Agree0 Disagree0

U talk boooooollocks

Agree0 Disagree0

I would rather give " Johnny Beattie " a deal !

Agree0 Disagree0

Beattie is not worth signing even for division 3. Could get better & fitter for the money

Agree0 Disagree0

Makes sense for Saints to sign Beattie.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wait until December/January at Montrose - Annan. Think Beattie will be more appropriate than the rest - he would have been the player for Rangers and get them moving. Black is so disappointed he has not been signed and is absolutely disgusted with the way Beattie has been treated !

Agree0 Disagree0

Sandova better than Beattie - nobody watch him with Hearts?

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Aug 2012 23:35:50
mccoist sayed he wants quality to get us up the leauges what concerns me is beattie and kyle ar very prone to injuries and u need goals to get up so if we get both what happens when they are injured again would rather go for sum1 else than them

Believable21 Unbelievable18

Think he said the same last year about this time - same scenario - loads of trialists - signed none - 1st, 2nd, & 3rd choice targets he was not allowed to buy - & we ended up with guys, some of whom couldn't even get a game in the first team, which was clearly struggling from the turn of the year.
I know we're in Div 3 and are going to operate at a loss for the next 3 years at least but if Beattie, Kyle, Black & Shields are what he calls quality - God help us! - they wouldn't have been considered if we had stayed in the spl

bil72

Agree0 Disagree0

Use 2 out of Andrew Little, Hemmings, Naismith, Lee McCulloch and new signing Sandaza

Agree0 Disagree0

Rangers could walk the third division without signing anybody,these signings are for next season, after reconstruction.they must think our heads button up the back, TOM THE TIM, {Ed039's Note - Of course they are, if there was no embargo going into next season I dont think these sort of players would have been signed for SFL3)
