I posted on here early Tuesday evening regarding information passed to me from my neighbour who works at Auchenhowie. I stated then that Kenny was going to be offered a new deal and this news was later broke by the newspapers the next day as word got around. Today it was confirmed by the club.

I have just had a quick chat with my neighbour there and he told me of more faxes being sent out to clubs. At first I was perturbed as I felt all concentration should be on tomorrow's match. However, what I was told was that the contents of the documents sent where in Portuguese and sent to two second-tier teams: Gil Vicente and Varzim.

As I said, my neighbour told me the contents were in Portuguese but looking at these clubs' players in more depth, both teams are in a cluster just outside of the automatic promotion slots to the top tier of Portuguese football. Looking at these clubs' stats, both have a player near the top of the goal scoring charts: Gil Vicente's 'Paulinho' is a 24-year-old with 17 league goals and Varzim's 'Rui Costa' is a 21-year-old with 12 league goals so far. I should stress that these player names may not be entirely connected to the consultations made between the clubs, however looking at the Portuguese clubs' players and stats, it appears that there is a possibility that we may be looking at these players, as I speculate with my neighbour's reliable information.

Was the fax not sent to Ronaldo's house asking him if he fancied some chips and curry sauce from the blue lagoon?
Your stories are mad man!

2.) 28 Apr 2017 21:09:58
As opposed to your casino and kebab story trigger lol. Think you have the monopoly on mad stories

3.) 28 Apr 2017 21:15:34
Haha nae bother trigger! Pot kettle n that

4.) 28 Apr 2017 21:19:04
Bigtrfc : Mine are true though. Plus who can someone tell it was Portuguese writing? See my thoughts? You would have to be able to read Portugese to know it was Portuguese which is actually Brazilian by the way

5.) 28 Apr 2017 21:31:32
clydebank single fish email not fax is now the chosen method of communication, even in darkest Portugal

6.) 28 Apr 2017 21:58:34
Fd, see post from Tuesday as to why fax is still used as opposed to email.

7.) 28 Apr 2017 21:59:25
Much more believable rumour than talking to players in a kebab shop at 1:30am on a Thursday night in town. Most people would recognise text that wasn't English no? And considering our manager is Portuguese it wouldn't take Colombo to put 2 and 2 together. Trigger your story was horrendous, accept it. Plus Brazilians speak Portuguese, Brazilian isn't a language. Your having a nightmare today.

8.) 28 Apr 2017 22:04:36
If your post is correct then Pedro will be looking for the mole within and yer mates job will be on a shoogly nail as he is looking for the person informing the media about unrest!

9.) 28 Apr 2017 22:22:57
Dear god. Brazilian is actually Portuguese

10.) 28 Apr 2017 23:51:57
Absolutely right, who in gods name thinks Portuguese speak 'Brazilian' . come on now .

11.) 29 Apr 2017 03:23:24
Let everyone be the judge of the above. He stated exactly his last move, if it stacks up then fair play but if not make your own mind!

12.) 29 Apr 2017 06:52:27
hahahaha god we must look daft if any other fans are looking now.

brazlian is portuegese, a hope your at it.

anyway, let's be realisitc we just signed kenny he will take up 3/ 7 of our striker wage bill. FACT

get rid of joe garner, bite the bullet and take 1.1 for him, waggy can go. then we might have some cash to play with.

today we will see the real rangers, when was the last time they beat us every game of the year?

we welcome the chase.

13.) 29 Apr 2017 07:43:21
Portuguese is actually Brazilian?
WTF? Here's a wee clue.
It's called Portuguese.
And god forbid anyone outside Brazil can actually READ Portuguese. That'd be truly beyond the bounds of possibility.

14.) 29 Apr 2017 01:28:27
Ed, can you check and see if Trigger is the same as "del" that was on here the other week talking about Wayne Rooney coming to Glasgow because he likes the kebabs better than Chinese food and scouting at pub matches?
If somebody with the username Rodney pops up soon I'll know it's the same guy

{Ed033's Note - Can't be sure but Trigger does not appear to be any "del".

15.) 29 Apr 2017 11:02:24
Guys, maybe you've got it wrong and Trigger knows his stuff.

All these years we've been speaking and writing American whilst thinking its the English language.

16.) 29 Apr 2017 14:29:32
I agree with you Trigger. How many people at Ibrox can read Brazilian / Portuguese
Apart from Pedro, none!

17.) 29 Apr 2017 14:30:42
The media reported that we were linked with Paulhino from Gil Vicente in April.

18.) 29 Apr 2017 15:26:04
seen you don't have a bike trigger get on your horse brazilians speak portuguese you speak with forked tongue kimo sabi

My next door neighbour works at Auchenhowie and has been very reliable with passing information to me over the years - for the record, he made me aware of the Barton interest last year after faxing information to/ from Burnley and Auchenhowie and also setting up the logistical side for Pedro's interviews.

He tells me Pedro has regularly met his backroom staff and JJ (JJ recently claimed expenses for travel to Preston and a match ticket v Norwich - presumed to watch Dorrans) over the past week to talk over certain players' futures, with meetings commenced just prior to the semi final.

Senderos/ Kiernan/ Forrester/ MOH have all been told they are free to leave or being released. Granted some have been injured or gone AWOL, Pedro has made his mind up. They have all been seen going into his office privately in the past week. Given their lack of playing time under Pedro and MW, and Senderos's wage, they will leave. Toral and Hyndman will return to their parent clubs.

Tav/ Hill/ Garner/ Halliday/ Windass/ Hodson and Waghorn are playing for their futures and have been told this apparently, all being seen arriving for training earlier today than the rest of the players and heading straight for Pedro's office (this may also have been to either look back at Sunday or preview tactics, my friend is unsure over this, but given they have regularly featured under Pedro - minus Hill and Hodson due to injury - Pedro is waiting to see what they can offer) .

Wes/ Holt/ Wilson/ Wallace/ Dodoo/ Alnwick to be kept. Miller will be offered a new deal, with coaching the 20s with Murty available if he desires. Pedro has been impressed with him despite initially wanting to move him on due to age at the beginning of his tenure. McKay's future is subject to the contract situation.

Beerman and Bates to remain, and more youngsters are soon to be integrated, notably Aidan Wilson, Serge Atakayi and Ross Lyon impressing over recent weeks in training and with the 20s. It is believed JJ and Atakayi's Finnish connection will aid the transition. I stress here with the youngsters, Faxes have been going back/ forth with Chelsea (Gilmour? ) akin to the Barton point I highlighted at the start.

Lastly, Pedro will allow preseason to rule over the likes of Niko and Rossiter, as well as looking at the other players out on loan at the moment: Liam Kelly, Matt Crooks, Jordan Thomson and Ryan Hardie.

1.) 25 Apr 2017 19:36:28
All sounds good until you suggest JJ had to buy a ticket to the Norwich game then claim it on expenses!

2.) 25 Apr 2017 20:27:45
He didn't say jj bought a ticket he said he claimed expenses. So could be dinner etc to talk to player/ agent/ scout.

3.) 25 Apr 2017 20:54:31
Whether its true or not i hope your right. This is exactly how i would do it if i was manager. 9 or 10 out but 5 or 6 quality starters brought in with youth and loanees back. I think this is doable with a small budget. Need to get away from quantity not quality

4.) 25 Apr 2017 20:59:47
With all the wild arsed rubbish on here that sounds very reasonable and believable.

5.) 25 Apr 2017 21:42:28
Having seen Waghorn and Garner play under both Warburton and now Pedro surely these 2 clowns don't have a future at the club. Waghorn has got to be one of the poorest strikers at the club and I can't recall another striker who regularly balloons the ball over the bar. Truly awful player

6.) 25 Apr 2017 23:07:27
This all sounds perfectly logical and believable. I only have one issue.

Do they seriously still send faxes? The last time I saw a fax machine Scotland had just qualified for a World Cup!

7.) 25 Apr 2017 23:33:49
Clydebank blue, your appraisal of players is spot on, if that's where his heads at we're flying, all part of our recovery, can't wait for next season, plus a crack at European football .

"JJ recently claimed expenses for travel to Preston and a match ticket v Norwich"
Claimed expenses for travel and a match ticket.

9.) 26 Apr 2017 08:29:54
There is nothing odd about JJ buying a ticket and then claiming for expenses on it.

10.) 26 Apr 2017 08:57:26
Haha JFC, but yes football clubs are still using fax machines.

11.) 26 Apr 2017 09:34:39
JFC, I believe the fax machines are used as it allows for signatures on documents etc to be done which I think is not possible via email? I remember a few transfer windows ago that David de Gea's move to Real Madrid was scuppered as it wasn't registered in time due to a faulty fax machine?

Also with the expenses, I was just told by my neighbour JJ claimed them for his Preston trip, which I presumed to be the staple items of travel and a ticket. Parky's point makes a logical conclusion too.

12.) 26 Apr 2017 10:49:17
Hope your right clydebank blue. we need a clear out and given how well bates and beerman r doing. we should not b afraid to use more hungry younger players. senderos has been an unmitigated disaster not to mention horrendous waste of wages.
For starters we need a dam sight more fight come saturday than last weekend. Nae use starting to play at 2 nil doon. Never will any of us accept that!

13.) 26 Apr 2017 12:00:12
Yea believe it or not we still use fax machines, I work in a bank and we use fax machines daily. a lot of documents can be sent over and if they're certified signatory wise it makes it easier to deal with. unfortunately we can't trust emails it could be from anyone and they're too easy to intercept

14.) 26 Apr 2017 14:57:54
We got rid of our fax machine over 10 years ago and work with PDFs now - i am sure Rangers are no different.

15.) 26 Apr 2017 15:44:14
You would think a professional club would take care of everything before sending scouts out, unless there was no preparation and it was a last minute decision.

16.) 26 Apr 2017 15:48:34
wee ecky why is it hard to believe he is claiming expenses as most do when they travel for work purposes.

17.) 26 Apr 2017 15:52:01
Give the guy credit at least on the miller one.

i can believe as pedro did state he will speak to players face to face who stays who goes . if it all true am just happy to see wallace get a new contract . wallace will be our joint captain leader legend hopefully at the gers for many years to come. the part that does confuse me is why claim expenses to a match and ticket, surely the club pays all that?
