It astonishes me that fans still think whyte is the saviour. He is a liar - told us £5m with another £10 m up front if required. That is a lie. Said he was not banned from being a director - lie
He is a con man - makes stupid bids just to be seen to be trying
He is not fit to run a corner shop, never mind rfc - barred from being a director for seven years.
For those that think the sun shines out of his arse because the bank would have put us into admin, the only way the bank would have done that is if we lost the tax case, and if we lose the tax case that is exactly what whyte will do. So are we any better off?
For those that say the bank would have sold jelavic, Davis and greets, that will happen if we get any bids. How are we better off, just a six month delay.
Mr whyte, sir David, the old board - they are all the same - money grabbing, self centred greedy bar stewards that care about their bank balance more than the history and the good name of OUR club.

Can anyone help me, noticed the planning story about area surrounding ibrox. It appears that we don't own the Albion car park. I also remember during the takeover bid that the car park was mentioned for one of the delays. Our training ground used to be the Albion so surely we owned this. I also remember hearing a rumour ten years ago that sir David had taken the car park out and one of his other companies bought it. Sounds like another sir David f##k up. And I pay two tickets with my season tickets,one incidentally for a twelve year old, costing £500. Where is that money going?
The car park must hold 2000-3000 cars and they charge £7 for those that do not spend £250 a year on a pass. That 25 times a year is decent money
Been an issue with me for years m8,one of murrays companies still own the old albion car park.nice earner every home game! just wait cz i'd bettheres some shady deal with murray park,rumour is murray holdings own it but gers pay a nominal rent. blueforyou.

Sorry mate you missed out fleck or are you ally in disguise
R u taking the p!ss the only reason fleck is still at ibrox is because of injuries ally's been tryin to ship him out on loan for ages now thats a fact! the guy is not at a good enough level he just played arbroath and guess what he looked as ordinary as all the arbroath players on that pitch so No I never missed out fleck!
12 Jan 2012 21:22:33
All these guys on here slaughtering edu need to get a grip. Do youse know anything about football? Fair enough he went through a bad spell but so does every player from time to time. Edu has been getting his confidence back and is getting better each week. Inknow it was only Arbroath but he was brilliant last week n he's still getting slaughtered. Edu does all the donkey work, if it wasn't for edu we would concede a hell of a lot more goals n would probably be another few points down. The big man has some engine, probably the most athletic player in the team. GET OFF HIS BACK AND GIVE HIM SOME SUPPORT!!
Lee
Our team has been getting outplayed in the midfield by some shocking teams in the SPL this season but i would honestly hate to see how bad it would be without Edu at this moment in time, we need him.
Edu was not brilliant, never has been brilliant, so let's be real. He is an average player. The question is have we got three midfielders that are better, sadly probably not
Are you saying he wasnt brilliant because he didnt score or play that killer pass because that's not what I'm saying, he was brilliant at his job, chasing the ball, hassling the opposition, tackling and protecting the back four and doing that last week he was brilliant. I think with a bit of encouragement and confidence edu could become one of our main players. In my opinion he already is, I'd much rather have him in there than mcculloch
Lee
No I am saying he was not brilliant because he was not brilliant
If Mo Edu was Gers' biggest problem the now, we'd sure be in a much better place!
All the folk that seem to think he's the root of all evil really need to get a grip.

Hi ed I posted about a friend who follows la liga earlier and got a heavy slating... He doesnt watch it on TV because he lives in spain. If every rumour on here gets such abuse... whats the point?
He follows spanish football real closely and works for a spanish magazine similar to our 'nuts' or 'zoo'.
Dont shoot the messenger but when he told me it sounded believable thus the reason I posted it.
Ok your mate lives in Spain. Everyone knows that McCoist likes Guerra. It's been all over the Rags and TV. Lmao you had me in stitches. Your mate works for a magazine similar to nut and zoo. So because your mate lives in Spain he doesn't watch any of the football on tv? That's like me and you saying we live in Scotland and we go to every game. Nice post mate you are funnier than Timalloy lol.
FF81
Follows it closely but doesn't watch it on TV? Hmmm.
My pal who lives in spain who doesnt watch football on tele thinks you must be nuts and should be in a zoo
To the third reply, QUALITY!!
He may go to every game thus not having to watch it on the Telly.
HE must go to every game? Does he have a TARDIS?!
12 Jan 2012 20:30:24
I think we should keep Edu, he is a good midfielder he actually is a worker he always puts in a shift. also i think Jelavic is an immense centre forward. he has a lot of quailty, good feet, links play well, can use both feet which is always a plus. i think he will stay at least until the summer. Jelavic does need someone beside thats pacey and direct as he does lack pace maybe that young Arsenal boy Afobe very highly rated and possibly get him on loan. also the right back problem, with Whittaker being outi think we should give McMillian a chance or either look to bring someone in possibly on loan. Scott Sutter is a good player but that rumour didnt seem to materilse. We have a good squad and i would like to see players such as McKay and Bedoya get a chance as we havent seen very much of them. Aluko has been a good find, just what we have missed in the final third although he is no Naismith, he is a very skillful player one that gets away from defenders. i hope we do get maybe a few players in if not buy just even a decent few players on loan would maybe do the job.

want to get everyones opinion on who should be rangers captain. i dont know who should be captain.
last season if weir wasn't playing i would've chosen mcculloch cause he battles n controls the midfield. but this season he's nt been great n able to get into the team
n although boca is a gd captain he aint a rangers captain i think. nt yet. n davies seems like hes carrying to much. carrying the team forward n controling everything else.
so i guess i'd make macgregor captain even though i dont like a keeper as a captain. but he does lead the defence well n doesnt hold back.
wt does everyone else think??
Think Boca is tailor made for the job. Perhaps Davis will perform better without the added concerns of captaining. I personally would never have a keeper or a forward as a captain.
I say Bocanegra he has done it for USA so he is a proven leader.
Rory
I would never have had davis as captain,after weir it would have been greegs.now id say boca would be a great candidate,next season.
drumlad
Tht was my post n i agree with nt liking a striker or goalkeeper to be captain. unless the striker is exceptional at leading from the front. i think u'd have to go wiv boca but i like the idea of having a scotsman for caption just cause they know wt its all about to play for such a great team
NOT Stevie Davis anyway. He is not captain material. He always looks as if he is pleading with his fellow player to play better or up their game. He doesn't seem demanding enough to be a captain, he has no leadership.
I'd give the captaincy to Boca or Dorin. Both guys have bags of experience and could easily lift the team if/when needed lifted
TTG
Shagger end of. Oh captain my captain. lol
I would have McGregor as captain because he is very vocal and has allot of experience
My captain for next season would be Stevie Naismith, without a doubt.
Steven.
Naismith would be my pick for captain

If we sell edu it wont be long til we miss him ! does all the donkey work for davis to get forward which he doesnt seem interested doing! The player we really need is a creative midfielder but edu (the defensive midfielder) gets slaughtered every week but the creative midfielder gets away with any abuse ! davis aint a captain or bigfoot would have a black eye at half time! hes that bad... Cant lose any 1st team player, need to lose broadfoot, mcculloch and ortiz to free up wages !
FauldsRFC
Totally agree with you on Edu mate. I said this to someone today that said sell Edu. The work that Edu does goes un noticed. Edu does the dirty work that nobody else wants to do. Everyone has got an opinion but mine is Keep Edu and get him signed up on a long term contract.

Im a gers fan and i love my club but im sick and tired of listening to the pi5h coming out of ibrox, this 2.5m guerra s**te is total garbage, we need to stop listening to this crap, we would"nt spend 1/2m to bring back kenny miller a proven goalscorer yet we"re about to spend 5 times that on a 29 year old from the spanish second division my ar5e, get a grip mr whyte and stop spinning yer s**te, All we"ll get is sandazza 300k (a big maybe ) and maybe a couple of dud loan signings, im sorry to say this fellow bears but yous know its true. ANGRY BEAR...
Craig Whyte never said we were going to sign Guerra did he? A certain paper got hold of information that McCoist has had him watched. No one said that Rangers are going to sign him. 99% of the transfer rumours in papers a rubbish. My advice to you is don't buy the daily rags.

12 Jan 2012 19:40:16
Here's my opinion, edu will go for 1.5 and jelavic for 6.5. Big Jelavic is going to be badly missed, on the other hand maurice edu can get to f¤ck. Been hopeless since day 1 and if rangers don't have better youth players than him we need to sack the scouts. 14 million quid we spent on murray park, if we cant produce better players than edu then something is wrong. I hav seen edu give possesion away more times than iv seen him keep it. Surely passing is an essential part of a midfielders game?! He just doesnt have it. I'd take eremenko who was at killie last year as a replacement for edu and sign big boydy back up on a free before he goes to america. Id also go for templeton from hearts and sign a decent right back as whittaker cant defend. Id play whitty right midfield when he's back fit.
Phew Thank god your no the Manager the only thing you got right was saying ' Whittaker cant defend' then you say you would play him right midfield when he's fit Eh Durrrrrrrrrrrrr !! leethepee
Why was he wrong in saying whitts play right midfield? Is your opinion the only one that matters? A wee Austrian guy with a small tache had similar ideas.
12 Jan 2012 19:26:59
Not really a rumour, just an observation really. I must admit I didn't know anything about Matt McKay, but after doing some research and watching quite a few videos, I am dumbfounded as to why this guy cannot get a game. Looks like the type of play maker any team would bite your hand off to huv. Fast, skillful with a great eye for a pass. If this has been commented on before I appologise, must of missed it but does anyone have any ideas as to why this is? We paid money for him as well and I can see from the videos why someone is after him on loan! Get him in the middle with Davis and we could be onto a winner!
Actually wen u say in the middle with davies ur wrong. i was surprised wen i heard it as well. he plays left wing n left back for australia. so really we were playing him out of position wen he played behind the striker. i was surprised wen i first heard it too
Cheers for the response. I did think he was originally signed as a winger, but looking at the vids he could do a great job in there with Davis!
12 Jan 2012 19:05:58
Hopefully rangers keep all the current squad at the close of this transfer window but if edu is sold who will step up?
Must keep jelavic spls best player by far
12 Jan 2012 19:00:13
for all the know it alls who come on here and reckon they know whats happening at rangers, here 's an honest question for you, how can we possibly avoid administration if we lose this tax case cause i for one am worried sick about the possible outcome. unfortunately too many fans stick their heads in the sand and can't accept we are likely to be in big trouble. any suggestions?
If we go into admin its gonna be one helluva struggle.the only way i can see is to get whatever we owe paid asap and start giving younger players a go.the appointed adminstrator will decide who goes and for how much.the quick and painless way is sell murray park.prime real estate in the greenbelt would fetch a good price and might save us selling too many players.forget this first creditor nonsense for whyte thats just now cz he is the only creditor,if we lose the case hector then becomes pref creditor.it's a mess but we cant allow liquidation cz thats a real nightmare. blueforyou.
Rangers cannot avoid administration if they lose the tax case. Simple as that.

Today, at a secret location I was given a rare interview by a fairly new owner of a football club, let us call him "CW"
CW do you mind me calling you that? Not at all Timalloy in fact WC would be more appropriate as my club is going down the toilet or because today I was in a crap game trying to raise some funds.
CW I hear you have revamped whole set up including what songs are played now in the stadium?
Yes, Tim here are the songs chosen by me
I who have Nothing!
Oops, I've done it Again (landed in court)
I don't want to Talk about it!
The sound of Silence!
Don't laugh at me cos I'm a Fool!
And now the End is Here!
The Final Countdown!
Tim, the artists I like are Johnny Cash, especially his song, A boy named SUE!
I also like the PRETENDERS and SIMPLE MINDS
My favourite childrens book is
THE BORROWERS!
My favourite radio show is
I'M SORRY I HAVEN'T A CLUE!
Quiz shows I like are Deal or No Deal
Who wants to be a Millionaire?
I dislike Family Fortunes and Mr & Mrs!
My favourite possession is my
Blankety, blank cheque book and pen (unused)
My Tax advisors are Mr K Dodd, Mr L Piggott
My current credit facilities are provided by

Finally CW have you anything to say to all the worried supporters of your club?

12 Jan 2012 17:14:01
Disagree, if this guy helps us win the league then he would be worth the 2 million. What about boconegra? Old player, steadied the defence no major re-sale value but an important first team footballer along with goian. You simply cannot have a team full of younger players and then sell them on the next season for more money and expect to win the league, arsenal ring any bells? J-rfc
I understand what your saying m8 but boca didnt cost 2 mil
gazza72
Fair enough gazza, I just think that this season is one of the most important seasons for rangers and if signing a 29 year old is going to help then why not?aybe no re-sale value but if he turns out to be a quality player then there is a possibility of four or five years out of h. Watp j-rfc
12 Jan 2012 17:11:39
Team for Saturday
shagger
bartley goian boca papac
davis edu fleck aluko
jelavic healy
harsh on wallace but i dont want him to drop fleck or healy
and he will always play davis.
If john fleck dosent start he may as well leave because he will never get a run of games.
Gazza 72
Drop davis make boca capt
Totally agree with you gazza, if fleck does not play on saturday he should try and get out as quick as. Drop Wallace, i know he has done ok left mid but he is a defender end off.
I think the more game time fleck gets, the better he will get, but knowing mccoist he will drop him for davis, retaining wallace in midfield. If he does not drop fleck then i think he might drop healy, although i would keep healy in team cause like fleck the more he plays the better he will get.
Bartley will get turned inside out by a decent winger.
Wallace has been our best player the last month... MOTM 3 times
Wylde will likely start. He was part of Rangers tv interview today - they normally put up a player who will be starting.
I would drop davis aswell give fleck a run and make davis have to fight his way back in to starting 11 like most first team underachievers and give mcmillan 30mins or so for bartley./biggles
Maybe with any luck edu will be sold before Saturday then We should let McKay have a game
IF you want mckay it should be davis dropped not edu. Am sick of peeps like you jumping on the wagon against him. He has been one of our best players in the last few games. Do u even watch the games?
Gazza 72
12 Jan 2012 16:45:44
How do all these experts get the inside track on our financial status,and why post the dribblings on here,if you dont want to watch,or dont want a ticket,Dont.Support Rangers,like your dad,his dad,you get the point.Financiers have trouble with tax,and as a club,yes in the brown stuff,concentrate on backing your chairman,your manager,and your team,aye even BEDOYA,McKAY,ORTIZ.Some fans should be ashamed of themselves,i was born a Rangers supporter,and i will die a Rangers supporter,and i will take the good with the bad,we have no devine right to win every game,but a devine right to try.
Rangers supporters should always support their team through the good and the bad times, that is the essence of being a true football supporter. However, these same supporters are also entitled to challenge the custodians of the club such as Craig Whyte who are currently running Rangers. Remember, once Criag Whyte has gone, Rangers supporters and their sons and daughters will still be there supporting the club. Supporters are what the club it truly all about and have a duty to make sure those running the club are doing so in the best interests of the club and in the best possible manner.
What happened in the 1980s then?
Surely it is david murray who should be taken to task over the shambles he has left rangers fc in and not craig whyte?
lets wait and see what happens after the tax case before we judge craig whyte
12 Jan 2012 16:37:19
Is there any Rangers fans left with a bit of loyalty,so times are hard,players ,yeah,not as good as before,but one thing remains,they wear the blue shirt,they play for the team i love,give them a break,we are still in the race for 4 in a row,if it was the other lot,they would be giving it large,stop moaning,as long as we exist,support,roar the team on,good and bad,if we give them the backing,opposing teams will wilt,we are as much of the problem,remember,we are chosen ,we are Rangers.End of rant.
Here mate, get real with the 'we are chosen' nonsense. But, I will agree with you, real fans should support team through thick and thin- just look at Celtic and their fans, Quality with a capital Q, no one can deny they truly are the greatest.
My cheek has just been brushed by tip of my tongue btw.

Article in today's Herald regarding a blow Ranger's development plans for land around Ibrox (albeit Rangers only own the car park in front of the ground):
www.heraldscotland.com/news/home-news/blow-to-rangers-land-plan.16431066
Looks like other parties are not wanting to deal with Rangers due to the current financial situation.
I'm pretty sure the other land around Ibrox (which the council own) was going to be developed with the council helping pay because it was regenerating the area.
But that was only when we had the hotel and casino plans years ago...dont know what its like now
12 Jan 2012 16:09:39
When are fellow bears going to see this man Whyte for what he really is. All these supposed players we are interested in, 2 million for the spanish bloke, 1 million for Vardy. The only certainty is Edu will be sold, Ally is being shafted at every available opportunity by Whyte, Smith and Russell. Same happened last transfer window and we go looking for squad players who are not good enough to pull on the famous jersey. Stand up and tell us what your intentions are Mr Whyte. We need to be told.
Are you being serious? Whyte has answered all the questions all along! What else do u need to know? The man has done everything he has said he was going to do!

All this talk of us being linked with 29 year olds and that !! If weve got money to spend(major if) then we should be looking at players who mite have a re-sale value! not 29 year olds who will be sold for a fraction of their cost in 2 years ! im happy to be a feeder club for the premiership aslong as we are making good profits from the players..

I'm sick of people slaggin off the players that haven't had a chance to prove them selves. mckay and bedoya haven't had a decent run in the team so how can we judge them!
Mcoist watches them every day in training and if he does not rate them for first team.
Surely he watches mcculloch and edu in training everyday also??

Hey lads. A tic fan here coming in peace.
A few Rangers supporting pals of mines say they aren't worried about the tax case because they believe Whyte has 'Something up his sleeve'. I'm not so sure.
HMRC will be DESPERATE to win this case in full because it's not just worth 49m. It could potentially be worth a lot more to them. The result will set a precedent and if they win then they can go after all the English clubs guilty of the same misdemeanor for a lot more money.
Don't shoot me lads, I'd just like to know what other Bears think about it.
Matt
Mate HMRC have an absolute hopeless win ratio of these cases (less than 5% in the past)were not the exact same case but very similar the reason gers are getting put up first is cos there is companies out there that done the same as us only HMRC is chasing them for £600m+ ! thats y were up first ... if HMRC lose to us they will see were they went wrong and will have lost a possible £49m and then use this info to try and win the bigger cases, there is no way they would test this case out on one of the bigger targets.
Germinator
One thing that constantly gets overlooked is that the lawyer representing rangers has never lost to HMRC before. Believe it or not rangers may win the case, i dont think anyone ever contemplates this.
GovanFR
Fair enough lads. Good points.
The person I realy feel sorry for is McCoist (as much as I hate to admit it, being a tic fan lol).
He seems to be getting a raw deal right now, and I think he has the potential to be a fantastic manager. just hope the fans have patience with him.
Matt
Andrew Thornhill QC
Mon the Lawyer
Since the reaction to the amount of tax Vodaphone have been 'allowed' not to pay (could have put the country back on an even keel), things have been tightened up regarding all things tax, especially given the government's need for cash. Might not be as easy as some Rangers fans think.
Germinator; respect.always think your posts are very well thought out. apparently our prob is we gave players a letter exempting them from future payments.i work in finance and when whyte took over no-one in this industry could understand why other than admin,re-scale and re-sell.of course he's wealthy and that buys you a lot of good tax advice so there could be a master plan what worries me are his partners,these are bottom line guys as has been proved with previous ventures. hope im wrong but got a bad feeling about this guy. blueforyou.

Why are Rangers now willing to pay over £2million for a striker when we wouldn't pay it 6 month ago for Goodwillie who was tried and tested in the SPL? Is this just another scam to sucker Rangers fans into believing its not all bad at Ibrox.
Goodwillie went for 3.2m not 2m so ur post makes no sense.
Goodwillie could have been purchased for £2million long before Blackburn Rover were intrested.
Possibly ... we'll never know tho blackburn would have just topped any offer we stuck in tho no doubt.
Get ur facts right, On 31 July 2011, Blackburn Rovers and Dundee United agreed a fee for Goodwillie with an upfront fee of £2 million plus £800,000 in clauses, everyone apart from you knows he went for 2.8m!*ksd*

Yip watch Timalloy come on and make a t**t of himself as per. Pure comedy gold.
Gerry The Ger.
Wouldn't even give him the time of day, he's on the tims site moaning about being abused.
Timalloy i just seen an advert which may be of some interest to you, given your love of comedy.
SCOTLANDS BIGGEST COMEDY CLUB
Just Off London Road
Big Stinking Green Building
Glasgow
This club has been running since 1888 and has established itself as an excellent platform for young guys to showcase their comedy abilities....Adam Virgo, Rab Douglas, Regi Blinker and Bobby Petta are some better known names that have passed through this club. Currently Fraser Forster, Glen Loovens, Charlie Mulgrew and Big Dan are flourishing with their interpritation of some famous Laurel and Hardy sketches, running about daft for 90 mins. The club has a 60,000 capacity but depending on performance you will be lucky to half fill it, be warned the crowd are a tough bunch and not easily pleased so don't be surprised if they turn on you.....
J1985
I am a Rangers fan and a Scotland fan to.And I cant see why Mulgrew is not in the Scotland squad.We could do a lot worce,than play him at left back.He is miles better than Steven Crainey for a start.And can take a good free kick.And defend and get up the park attacking.Dont know why he has not been given his chance yet.When so many other players have failed us.Would like to see him in the Slovenia squad.Ally
Whats phil bardsley done for scotland to warrant talk of a replacement left back? would however prefer mulgrew at centre half before bombscare caldwell.

Hi ED can you not create like a login and username type thing if you want to post things? That would stop a lot of the stupid posts. The nameless posts are always the daft ones. Could you not set it up so anyone can view the page but to post something you have to put your username in and a password of course. I think it would help eradicate (spelling lol) alll the silly posts you get.
Billyboy1 {Ed001's Note - all that happens when you try that is that we have to go through a lot of hassle to set it up and no one bothers to join except to post rubbish. Which means then we have to go through a lot more hassle removing the posts and keeping track of who is who.}
It was just a thought ED because it is normally the nameless posters who post crap.
Billyboy1 {Ed014's Note - Do what we do and don't pay them much attention.
The door swings both ways. There are named posters on here who post pish as well.
Whether the posts are signed or unsigned it's up to the reader if they want to believe what they are reading.
Don't read them if you think they are daft.......nameless

i see alot of fans going on about 400 pound is to much to watch gers i sit in bar 72 we pay a grand a year if use think use are hard done by think of us paying that to watch gers
Mate u wanting sympathy or something ? no-one is twisting ur arm to pay that if u think its too much then go for a regular ticket otherwise we dont wanna hear it !
Don't come on and give us that nonsense. Nobody's forcing you to pay an extra 600 quid. That's your own stupid fault to be quite honest.
Steven.
Be quiet. Whatsthe point of your post, just to brag how much u pay for your season ticket. Pi55 off
You think that's bad? The petrol consumption on my Ferrari is astronomical!!

so somebody at ibrox tells the french team to make another bid for edu n ally knows nothing about it! this is getting ridiculous,guidi on radio clyde alluded to this lst night n seems to be true.ally if your telling us the truth get out now before your legendary status gets tainted! whyte seems to have no trust in ally n it seems like the rumours of hum not rating ally are true.hope all these whyte defenders are reading and listening cos we are becoming a joke. blueforyou.
You listen to Guidi? Mug.
Your the mug mate.guidi is very friendly with ally n i think thats where it all started.do you think whyte has given ally enough support? who do you think sanctioned the signing of mckay,bedoya n ortiz? this is what happens ally mentions something to a tame journo...blueforyou,

Is the day of watching good football over at ibrox? Is it always going be this s**te on show? If so season books must come down in price cause it ain't worth 400 pound a season, any thoughts?
Here's a thought, if u don't want to stick by your team during difficult times, don't pay the money. You could jump on the band wagon and support teams like arsenal who play good football but win nothing. We are the Glasgow rangers, winning trophies is all that matters to real fans.
True.
why should season ticket prices rise when the quality of player on the field decreases?
it's like buying a new car every year. you start off buying a mercedes, then you end up getting a lada that cost you more than the mercedes did
Its called apprecitaion moron .... if u buy a new merc this year then a new merc 10 yrs down the line has a very good chance of being more expensive than the last one u got ... duh
It's not just about winning trophy's mate. It's attitude like that, that force our managers to play stagnant (as long as we scrape the 3 points) football. Which has been on show since old Dickie boy was at Ibrox.
Of course winning is important, but we are afraid to play expansive football and afraid to blood our youngsters because we might not win the league every year.
Its just a shame the SPL is usually just a 2 horse race, if we don't win it then Celtic will, never nice losing to the big rivals, this also increases the pressure to win at all costs.
Not commenting on the price of season tickets.

"Its called apprecitaion moron .... if u buy a new merc this year then a new merc 10 yrs down the line has a very good chance of being more expensive than the last one u got ... duh"

To the above post ,its actually depreciation..duh....

Tax man trying 2 get transfer embargo on us until we produce our audits,,,,,and we wont b able 2 until end of month so dont expect us 2 buy any1 even if we sell jelavic
Interesting, do you have a source for this, seems silly since if we do buy someone from these shores the taxman gets a cut -
Pete
Pete, why do you need a source? Does the "Rumour" seem plausible? Is that something the tax man has the ability to do given the well documented problems currently facing Rangers?....YES HE DOES! In October 2009 Southend faced a winding up order from HM Revenue & Customs over an unpaid tax bill of £690,000. The club were also hit with a transfer embargo!
Ed - can you confirm something please? I know that clubs in the football league when they fall into PAYE arrears with HMRC the league automatically imposes a transfer embargo. Do we have a similar ruling in the SPL? I've been told that we havent been paying PAYE or NIC... {Ed014's Note - Yes there would be an embargo imposed.

To all the so called rangers fans criticising mo edu, get a grip. The guy is getting a serious hard time when players like Davis getting away scot free. Edu has been our best midfielder since last year. These so called fans should support our team!
Come on the bears
Very true, Davis can be some player and head and shoulders above every other player in Scotland but recently he's just not been at the races and he hasn't been turned on like some fans with Edu, it's now when Davis is playing bad that I really appreciate that Edu puts in a real shift.
Totally agree he`s been good lately,mculloch should be out the door, davis needs a hoof up his arse every now and then
stg
Open your eyes, the guy gives away the ball all the time. He gets caught in posession because he's too slow in his thinking. You get one in three games off him.
12 Jan 2012 00:36:32
I have been reading this site daily for a good year now and it sickens me to sit and read the cynics and moaners and part time fans who come on here and literally criticise and belittle every guy who posts something on here. Lets set the record straight...
Firstly, nobody knows what money Ally has or who may be joining and leaving. Its all speculation but please dont put people down for stirring up a rumour or two. Secondly, people need to wake up and stop thinking we are a top side, who says we are too good for other players who play in the SPL? half of walters team were scottish and had played in the SPL. He made a bunch of average players look very good. And my last rant goes out to all of you who constantly slate Craig Whyte...give the guy a break, if it wasnt for him where would we be? there wasnt a queue of people outside edmiston drive waiting to buy rangers! he is obviously a smart guy who has inherited a mess! The team needs all of us, Ally needs all of us! We are all bluenoses, chosen ones! Get behind the team and no matter what happens in the january window you will always be a rangers fan so lets support them 110%! Sorry Ed...That is all!
Good post, agree 100%
you should leave a name mate ..
Pete
......or perhaps he should just leave! lol
Miko
Firstly,ally dznt seem to know how much he has.secondly,we know edu is going as someone at rangers told the french club to make another bid and rangers instructed an agent to sell jella.we are scotlands top side n i dont think sandaza is a good signing as i feel theres better out there if mr whyte is gonna spend some money.now mr whyte;do tou really think the owner should be hiding behind BVI registered companies? he and his cohorts mr ellis and mr betts seem to have a track record of buying companies and running them down to break up value or selling them on.ppl with much more access than you or i have voiced worries about this man,bain and other directors claimed he didnt have enough capital to move forward hence bain ringfencing money.and lets not forget lloyds pushed this sale through cz they were fed up waiting for a buyer.but hey dont listen to me what about our greatest ever player and whytes treatment of him? support the team;always.tryst whyte;never.
12 Jan 2012 00:36:05
It might be boring but the stats don't lie, Edu is a player the side struggles without, he might not be the most dynamic player you've ever seen but by Sh*te he puts in a shift, harries players and makes a good pass when supported.
McCullooft is done but as one of the auld guard he gets a pass from most of the stick, I don't agree with giving ANY Gers player unfair criticism but Edu has handled the amount of keech thrown his way like a true pro.
Him, Davis and maybe McKay (if he ever gets a game) would be my core in the midfield, you get box to box energy, technique and a complimentary mix from those three, with Aluko floating for space that midfield would create chances and also break up opposition attacks.
The right back position is up for grabs and we have enough centre halves to do us so it's really a striker who links that midfield to the back of the net we need, everything else seems ok for the league push as we have no Euro campaign to worry about.
Thoughts?
I do expect some clunge comments but I hope the people who actually love the game will comment too.
Charli3.
I agree 100% with everything you've sed mate. Edu went through a bad patch but who doesn't. He has improved and does the ugly work and never stops running. It's about time McKay was given a run in the team, I think he could be that bit of creativity the team has been missing
Lee
Spot on the both of you and I would keep giving Fleck a run out up front.
Duccablue
I have never doubted Edu and have posted a good few times that people should give him a break, You only need to look at the amount of caps he has for his country to see that he is a very decent player that thrives when confident, too many of the fans have turned against him for little reason. I would give him a long term contract, give him the armband and see if that brings out the best in him. The Armband is to heavy for Davis ..
Pete
Edu plays in an advanced role with the usa, looks a player for them-he gets dogs abuse but has easily out performed every other midfielder at the club, davis is the blue eyed boy so gets away with it-mcculloch is well past it no legs and now is just a slogger- i wouldnt sell edu at all!
