HMRC officials have visited Ibrox football ground to deliver paperwork related to Rangers' disputed £2.8m tax bill.

In response to rumours on social networking sites, the club denied the tax authorities were planning to freeze bank assets in pursuit of the money.

While some of the bill has been paid, club sources said the visit was part of an ongoing process in the dispute.

The BBC understands part of the bill is still being contested by Rangers.

A few people were on here earlier asking about free agents, I honestly don't think we will sign any free agents but here are a few you might know.

Robert Pires (Aston Villa) Age 37

James Mcfadden (Birmingham City) Age 28

El Hadj Diouf (Blackburn Rovers) Age 30

Vicente (Valencia) Age 30

Mikael Forssell (Hannover 96) Age 30


I know these players aren't exactly glamourous but this is what you are left with if you don't move quickly enough-scraps.

Got to love how Peter Lawell makes a joke about the Jelavic bid, suggesting it is untrue and then claims Celtic had bids for players they rejected, any clubs names Peter or did he just make that up. Nobody wants Hooper he is just a small Kris Boyd.

GovanFR

Agreed mate,liewell should have a look at his own s**ty team first

He was taking the pi55 you nugget! just like whytey boy was doing to you all last night:)

He wasn't taking the pi55 as you put it, after the Hooper 'joke'. He claimed Celtic had turned down bids for players and was clearly being seriously. You should maybe try watching before posting.

GovanFR

Yea the irony of what he was saying clearly seems lost on him. The hooper bid was clearly a joke, the regected bids for players PROBABLY wasn't or was just so tounge in cheek that the point of the joke was lost. I don't think sky missed many activities yesterday let alone bidS! Muzz

Emmm...so the 3 bids that Samarse knocked back were just made up were they? and what do i need to try and watch exactly?

Wow this guy needs a brain scan, so now you are saying Lawell wasn't taking the pi55 about knocking back bids. The fact is Lawell claimed Celtic had knocked back bids for there players and was being serious, he didn't name any clubs. You really are quite dumb, Samaras knocked back the offer not Celtic.

Were top of the league and chasing 4 in a row why we worrying so much? Toms cant even beat st johnstone at home! Lol easy league title then money to spend for champs league :) positive mental attitude my fellow bears WTAP

01 Sep 2011 20:21:25
Peter Lawell has an absolute nerve mocking the Jelavic bid-or-no-bid. Zero class as usual. The more THEY talk the worse THEY play.

Lol true mate WATP

If that had been SDM coming out with something like that you'd have lapped it up! But then you always did fall for his BS.

Atheist

Relax....i thought it was actually humorous

I totally agre with you, but why don't Rangers take this and use it as an advantage to show him and his mob for what they are.
I normally would not advocate getting involved in a slanging match with some one who clearly for whatever reason is under pressure with there own problems. However rangers can gain a lot of respect amongst our own by making a factual statement on the events surrounding the transfer bids for our player.

longstanding bluenose govan rear.

At least we have a player like jelavic that wants to stay for football reasons and celtic who cant get rid of one like samaras even if they tried payin a team to take him

Mocking the jelavic bid?? lol...there was no bid fools!
and i love the way you like to call him Liewell, when the biggest of all liars is running your team and continually pulling the wool over your eyes.
and it just so transpires that there was also NO BID from leicester either, so, we either have a fake bidding war going on, where whyte is trying to tease a buyer in (offers over 6.5m please) or, he's yet again trying to deflect the fact that he has no money, but tried his damnedest to keep your star striker.
open your eyes people

01 Sep 2011 20:02:42
have to say ccraig whyte has went too far its time for rangers fans to stand up and be counted lets get our point across to the board without us there is no club

01 Sep 2011 19:42:03
what about liewell thinking he was funny on stv sport hes that funny his own fans hate him w**ker !

01 Sep 2011 19:13:52
Listenin to superscoreboard. Mark Guidi is less than convinced after speaking to people at Leicster that the club even made a bid for Jelavic. They made an enquiry but no actual bid was made. We're bein shafted here!

Sven G E came out and said he wasn't happy Rangers went public with their bid because it alerted other clubs as to what they could afford. That being the case he obviously made the bid. The guy might not be throwing money around but at least he's not selling us down the river

Selling you down the river is EXACTLY what he's doing. There are none so blind as those that will not see.

Atheist

Mark guidi!!!!!! have you read the trash he constantly writes.

01 Sep 2011 19:19:15
rangers visited by hmrc again 2day could have assets froze. will all the pro craig whyte people wise up this guy has no money fear 4 our club.

Maybe craig whyte has hired hmrc to advise him on how to deal with his tax issues or does hmrc stand for hm randy cat people?lol

01 Sep 2011 19:14:46
If mr tight spent 2.5 million on goodwillie and miller everyone would be happy, tight has tried to make a mug of us all, protests to get this guy out should start next home game before its to late, give it another year and tight will have us in admin.

AGAIN AND AGAIN, Get a grip Goodwillie aint no superstar, and with his baggage NO THANKS.

01 Sep 2011 18:53:10
So peter lawwell mocks gers! Who won league last 3yrs haha idiot! 4in a row WATP

Sky Sports News

"rangers could be forced into administration as they have not paid the £2.8m Tax bill, they are in depute of the penalty of £1.4m!"

Where is Whytes money?

DazzaBhoy

DazzaBhoy you cannot force someone into administration because they don't pay a bill you would issue a winding up order.

GovanFR

Portsmouth?

DazzaBhoy

Portsmouth were faced with several deadlines to pay and they didn't. Maybe check before posting.

GovanFR

01 Sep 2011 18:34:59
A think peter lawwell had another of his sleepless nights before having tht dig at rangers. Just shows that everyone involved wit the other side is completly obsessed wit the champions. Absolute no class whatsoever!
54 titles and still goin strong
WATP!

Had this been a statement from a rangers director i think there is every chance Paul Mcbride would have been on the box stating this is the type of statement that inflames the sectarian divide and asking for a retraction and an apology.

H.M.R.C.A.T.P

Did any of you catch Sky Sports news......rangers could be served with a winding up order and freezing of their assests!

DazzaBhoy

How is he obsessed with Rangers. He was asked the question by the media and gave a response.

Ffs get a sense of humour

I thought whyte cleared the debt, which amazes me that all websites yesterday were saying we were still heavily in debt? Very confusing

The debt has never been cleared! You's really have been mugged off! Where did u think it got cleared from? An unknown universe??

Naw he didnt

He hasn't cleared debt, only moved it to his own company which is wavetower ltd, if Gers lose hmrc case then he be main creditor and get this money back, maybe if you did some research you wouldn't have to ask stupid questions

01 Sep 2011 17:08:47
Up until now, I have not been of the thought that Whyte did not fancy Ally. But I have to admit it looks more and more like it now. For a man who according To most folks is a top business man not to understand we need players to win sh*t which makes us money, is beyond me.

01 Sep 2011 17:36:40
The Press Association reports that Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell has mocked the reported big-money interest in Rangers striker Nikica Jelavic, who was the subject of a confirmed £6.5m bid from Leicester, which was rejected by the Ibrox club, but there were rumours that another club put in a £9m bid for him. Lawwell said: "Well, last night we got a £29m bid offer for [Gary] Hooper. From an unknown agent, from an unknown club, from another universe."

THIS PROVES THAT THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CLASS (as if we doubted it)

What business is it of his what bids comes in for gers players, as far as I'm aware gers don't have to justify anything or explain any of their actions to him, was hoping tic would get through in Europe , now I'm more inclined that they don't, can't this man not contain himself to just dealing with the tic, after all they haven't won the league for 3 seasons , he should be asking his manager why with us on the financial ropes his team still can't compete, form is fleeting class is forever something he should acquaint himself with,oh that's right they don't understand dignity .

01 Sep 2011 16:26:17
when is the agm meeting and where is it AF never been to one before is it at ibrox

You need to be a shareholder to attend, which you're not, because if you were you'd be notified with details of the AGM.

No i know am not but am wanting to buy shares so am only asking a didn't say a was a shareholder i asked a question were is the agm meeting based so you don't need to get snappy maby somebody else will help with the question i asked

Barcelona being by far the best footballing side in the world why don't we take a leaf out there book and go by there philosophy of playing and developing youth instead of player past there best days, yes we might not win every game game but once these players develop we develop as a team. I see this as the only way rangers can compete on a global scale. Opinions are welcome on this thought...

I agree we should develop youth and use them, but we have to remember, Barca don't have to sell to anyone and more to the point, players that are getting their game for Barca don't want to leave. With Rangers, and any other spl team, if the right price comes along then our top players are offski. My point is unless things change in Scotland we will never have a team that stays together from youth to peak which is successful. All said and done though, I agree, youth is the way to go, use the academy players and teach them to play a certain style (the Barca way) then when we do get another £1 million off tighty Whytey we can spend it on a specific player that will fit into our system and support our young first team.

pappy

Listen mate have you not seen the posts on here with people criticising players before they have even seen them play or after only 2 or three games in the light blue, can you imagine what would happen if we had a team of young players who did not win trophies for a few years, back to the drawing board

I totally agree mate a think it would be a great idea wee need youngster in a team it wont only help us out but help Scottish football out to

You fans wouldnt wait that long-the whole ethos of scottish football and scottish youth system would need altered,if we play 1 poor game you lot have the daggers in the managers and players backs-building a team takes time most rangers fans are only intrested in bragging rights over celtic thats always been the clubs problem-weve always had what celtic do on our minds and they are the same-if we let that monkey go i think we as a collective would be far better off-
we are champions now but reading 99% of the posts on here would make you think we were 12th

Whyte merely gave lloyds the cash but moved the debt to one of his own holding companies. So RFC owes Whyte the same debt that they had with LloydsTO THE ABOVE REPLY, can we get this cleared once and for all guys.
Yes debt was cleared with bank and moved to Craig Whytes company who holds the debt now, it is not hard to work out, Craig Whyte owns Rangers, so Rangers debt is with his own company so Rangers debt free as Craig whyte owes Craig Whyte SIMPLE.
Hope that clears things up for people who do not understand.

Don't be daft mate, RFC are not debt free because Craig Whyte owes Craig Whyte. Mr Whyte bought the club and the debt was transferred into his/one of his companies names. However all that means is that RFC don't owe Lloyds bank anymore but money is owed to whichever bank underwrites Mr Whytes company. So in effect RFC are still in debt, but Whyte believes the debt to be manageable and will operate in a way to cope with such debt...i.e he won't be splashing the cash.

Rangers owner Craig Whyte has spent in excess of £5 million on transfers and improved contracts for key players this summer with Lee Wallace, Dorin Goian, Carlos Bocanegra, Alejandro Bedoya, Kyle Bartley, Juan Manuel Ortiz and Matt McKay all boosting last season's title-winning squad.
(FOCUS ON THE POSITIVES WHY DONT YOU�so what about the money from Bougerra sale 1.7m and the money from Adams sell on £800K? Whats the outlay again? Not the front ended 5Million + you spoke of!)

Allan McGregor, Steven Davis, Steven Whittaker and Gregg Wylde have also signed long-term contracts with the Champions.
(YEAH LONG TERM CONTRACTS THAT WE PAY FOR THROUGH SEASON TICKET, GATE SALES AND MERCHANDISE, NOT OUT OF YOUR 15M KITTY!)
The Chairman commented: "We had a serious offer for Nikica Jelavic but it fell well short of the player's true valuation. Ally McCoist is building a good squad capable of competing for the domestic Treble and Jelavic and Steven Davis are key players for the team.
('TIL JANUARY AT LEAST MR WHYTE)

"Ally has signed seven new players and re-signed seven more this summer which has been a significant investment in the squad. While all Rangers fans want to see as many star signings as possible there has to be realism as well.
(HOLD ON WE LOST SEVEN PLAYERS FROM LAST YEAR!)

"Unfortunately we have not qualified for the Champions League or Europa League group stages and the Club has to be run in the correct manner.
(BECAUSE OF WHAT MR WHYTE, COULD IT BE YOUR TIGHT FISTED ANTICS AND NOT PREPARING FOR THESE TOURNAMENTS BY BACKING THE MANAGER)

"Ally and I discuss these matters constantly and he has told me he is happy with the squad he has at his disposal. We now look forward to the rest of the campaign and doing all we can to continue our success.

(DROP ALLY'S NAME TO SAVE YOUR SKIN)
"As always at Rangers, we are committed to working together to ensure a successful domestic campaign this season."

(YAWN...YOUR PISH IS STINGING MY EYES)

Totally 150% agree. Best post iv seen so far mate. Spot on. Ger4life

Honest i think everyone should have a say but your a complete mug (or a septioc supporter). How about u get behind the team instead. If whyte never bought the club? Good by Whit, Davis, Shagger, naismith, Jelly. No new faces as well. Why dont you just shut your face mate, you and all you band of doom merchants. I bet if we win the spl this season you'll be the first mug on here saying you have always supported the team.

c-bear85

You are right on the mark with that m8. c-bear85, stop sticking up for this guy. What is it you can't see ? This man is a shrewd business man, of that there is no doubt, but not to the advantage of a football club. He has no history where sport of any nature is concerned, and the fact that he said and promised so much after he hoisted the league trophy ( which btw, he had no right to do ) has pulled the wool over the eyes of thousands of wee lambs like yourself, bleet, bleet, bleeting about how he has saved the club and cleared the debt and on and on and on, WELL, NAW HE HAS F**KING NOT !!! The hmrc case has still to be answered, and you c-bear85, are about to get yer eyes opened and the realisation might just be too much for you and all these other wee Whyte supporters, the man is a CHARLATAN, and A.J will be vindicated. Insolvency looms and Whyte will walk away in few years a far wealthier man china, BUT, ask yourself this question son, where will Glasgow Rangers be ? I'm sick of reading p@sh from people sticking up for this man, Rangers is in my blood, he has No Rangers history!! Rangers 'til I die.........

You know Whyte must have known he was on to winner buying Rangers, it is only throught the postings on this website that I have realised how thick some off my fellow Rangers supporters are.
Criticising Rangers doesn't make you a Celtic supporter, just someone with a brain who loves the club. Should we really blame Whyte he has learnt at the feet of the master, Murray, when it comes to telling lies to the supporters, he obviously believes we are all sufficiently gullible enough that he can feed us as much crap as he likes and we will keep buying the season tickets and the merchandise.
For any supporter with sufficient grey matter to compute the facts heres a news update:

1. Out of 2 European Competitions
2. Our money used to give new contracts to players
3. Less money spent nett on transfers than the clubs takes in on annual car park fees (£7 per go).
4. Not one of the top targets signed.
5. No creative midfield player
6. No wide right player.
7. Wages and games being given to Edu, MacCulloch and Broadfoot.
8. No Big screens
9 And for good measure you will probably find the new sound system was a requirement of getting the stadium safety licence.

Yes add it all up and what do you get:

Whyte smart and us mugs.

Mr Whyte I am led to believe has bought Rangers for next to nothing. Given that, the "debt" that Rangers have has now been passed to an offshore account under Mr Whyte's company. Could this not cause a new tax affair? Would it not make sense for Mr Whyte to use Rangers' profits now and make some money whilst his company pays off the "debt"?

Rangers looking at potential Fox News deal in America with tours and all the rest of it. This money I think will go to Mr Whyte with a fraction being spent on players. The "debt" will continue to be played by the media the same as since it has been for who knows how long. As seen with sky sports last night with Jelavic saga. The so called "5 million a season" will never happen. Well maybe in Whyte's pocket.

It's a monopoly people, wake up! But still Celtic got beat off St Johnstone who couldne score inte a barrel a....... you know the rest. It is important to get behind the team and just "booo" Mr Whyte. Ally is a legend never forget these people, the board are always the deception. These guys wore the jersey not some middle-aged freak with a tart sitting next to him.

Rangers should sign Diouf and McFadden if there is any money.

Just an opinion, good site btw :)

01 Sep 2011 15:10:43
Seems many fans keen to knock Whyte,Ally and many of our players, no one seems to ask just what Gordon Smith's role is in all of this, personnaly i have not a clue what he is being paid for. Got to add every time previously i have asked this Ed has not posted, can only assume Ed thinks he is doing a good job and it is not worth posting.
PS.No mention of sunbeds on any responses.

What you have got to factor in, is what factor of sun cream protection does Smith use LOL (ps no mention of sunbeds)

01 Sep 2011 15:07:23
Once again Mr whyte pulls the wool over decent loyal fans, and pulls the puppet strings on the management at our beloved Gers.

Yeh yeh ive heard it for months now... Lets give Whyte a chance, we are in better shape than we were in a year ago, Well maybe we are and maybe we aint, however this man does not have Rangers at heart, and he has proved it on more than one occasion in the last month alone, Where is the supposedly 15m he would have as his war chest, why aint the man coming out and speaking to the fans who keep our club going, whats the problem with him and Manager, If he has not got the money then let us know, let us have the truth, we will still stand by our team, remember our motto fellow bears.

But come come Mr Whyte dont treat us like idiots, like second raters, we deserve the truth about your plans, the future plans for our team, which most owners outline long before this to the people who matter, Why have you not done this Mr Whyte.

Oh and the 9m bid by an anamed EPL team for Jelovic was a load of bull, it was a bit reverse phychology from someone inside ibrox trying to take away the heat from a certain source and im not talking about our beloved manager. why!! The lack of decent signings, the lack of at least some of the so called 15m war chest been spent and the lack of interaction between Whyte and the loyal fans.
Shame on you Mr Whyte, give us a bit credit, you came to a team of champions, you will be judged on you success accordingly. Good luck to Super Ally and everyone of you players who pull on the jersey, every true fan knows that you will do your best as per our tradition........ InMemoryofDC

Yeh yeh, we'v heard you for months now. Whytes a baddie and looking to make money. Who cares let me paint a pic if we hadnt found a new buyer. No Davis, Whit, Mcgregor, Naismith or Jelly and no new new players. What would you prefer mate.

c-bear85

C-bear85 is Craig Whyte in disguise !! Either that, or he fancies him..............

01 Sep 2011 14:24:58
whyte never spent yesterday because he,s waiting to see how much he,s to pay to the inland revenue. this year is a settle in period. upgrading ibrox, inportaint squad players on new contracts, 2.8 million tax bill etc but the big one coming soon up to 50 million tax case.if we went on a spenfing spree would fef go in to admin.

Thank you i posted the rant below and finally finding people that are sensible and dont want to go out and rattle millions and put us back where we started if we win the league by only spending 1.5m then what a great bit of business.

Thats bot the way a tax case would work, whatever party wins the case the loser in it will more than likely appeal the decision, therefore in theory the case can drag on for some considerable time certainly longer than next summer, sorry to blow that tax theory out of the water for you .

01 Sep 2011 13:37:36
i wish every "Rangers fan" thats slagging Mr Whyte and Ally who is one of the ledgends that gave rangers its name today. just to support the team that you grew up beliving in. iv posted on this site for a few months now and am speachless to how you can call your self rangers fans by the way you act. I think alot of you need to listin to a few rangers songs like Follow Follow and have some pride because what we have now is far better than we would of had if whyte pull d the plug on us. so time to back the team in full support for 4 in a row. Champions leauge next year.

Away and learn to spell

Lol Away and learn to spell. You are exactly the type of person hes talking about so how bout u stop greetin n get behind the team coz should we win the title this year the only fools will be all you moaning C*nts

Thanks for the back up m8 n as for the spelling my key board if Fu*** so away and learn how to support a football team. Timy

Look mate no one is saying they aint gonna support gers anymore or are gonna start supporting someone else, we are however voicing our concerns like we have the right to. Iv your PROMISED something and u do no live up to that promise then you cant be suprised wen the people you promised aint happy. Big difference at not being happy with your team and not supporting it. Come an old firm every genuine rangers fans will be goin off our nuts if we win again u know this.

The fact of the matter is that Whyte never said this year would be a settling in year, upgrading year, what he did say was that we will be looking to add some quality to the team to really help Ally out in his push for 4inarow, he also said that if needs be he will give ally more than the 5m he said.

Now come the end of the transfer window and we have spent less than he initially said, I dont wanna hear about new contracts and waht not, whyte never stated the budget included that, but if u do wanna go down that road u could say that for all the players that left then their wages etc would be added onto the budget if u know what i mean? i highly doubt it.

I dont know if Whyte is conning the fans but this is how i personally feel. I feel Whyte has made promises that he hasnt kept and to be honest i dont think he had intentions of doing so.

I really feel for ally in all this ..... is he good enough for management ? i dont know but i do know that Whyte has defo made his job a lot harder than it should be.

But as I said we shall follow follow regardless of our state on the pitch and hey .... WERE TOP O THE LEAGUE ! will be be there come the end of the season tho ?

ps i do think it should be mentioned that surely there can be no excuses for lennon and celtic if they dont take the league this year ..... i wonder if they will "celebrate" 2nd again if it happens?!

Germinator

01 Sep 2011 12:25:53
My observation is that the Jelevic bid was a complete smokescreen. Anybody in this current climate that gets more than double what they paid for a player who has only been with the club less that 2 years would bite the hand off. We were never going to sign anybody on deadline day and thus the illusion created by keeping Jelevic appeases the fans and creates the feeling that we have actually made a signing. We have spent pennies and the players who have come in are worse than what we let go. Disgruntled Bear!

Loans for fleck and Hutton fall though!

Woohoo :)

01 Sep 2011 12:11:30
Heard from a good source Rangers are now a penny pinching joke, who make up fake bids so they can attempt to spin things in the press.

Also hearing they have the audacity to put up headlines like " Gers involved in late deals" (Little etc being loaned OUT) and " We're in Great Shape" (just because he didn't sell Jelavic and that wee d++k Davis)

We are in terrible shape. McCoist is a yes man and his comments to the press get more embarassing on a daily basis.

Whyte is a complete charlatan. Today he is banging on about Rangers fans being "realistic"

Is a 100k bid for a 60 times capped player "realistic"

Hit agree if you think this will be the worst season in living memory

Being realistic is paying for your season ticket at the price Rangers set to watch quality players take the field for our beloved team. I hope the players brought in show they are good enough however how would Mr Whyte like to negotiate with 40000 fans who think the price of their season tickets are to expensive!

So is McCoist suppose te come out and say we're doomed? What would that say? It would get him sacked fer one cuz no one wants a gaffer who doesn't beleave in his team. I hope we win the league and spend big next summer just te shut fair weather fans like you up. If you want te whine about a team go te the other side of the city. WE ARE STILL THE CHAMPIONS WE ARE STILL THE PEOPLE!

100k for a guy with 60 caps woulda been bad, but this guy has 99 caps! Which makes it slightly worse lol

HIT disagree if the poster is a ce*tic Fan?

Last nights transfter deadline just proves, EVERYTHING said on this page is a load of s***. Whyte has paid the debt, brought in 7 players, signed the top names to long term contracts, upgraded Ibrox(3mil), and there's still free agents and loan players to be decided after Friday at 5pm. Just because he hasn't brought in "massive" names, but you're all too quick to forget the Dick Advocaat era that f****d us as a club financially.

True. Although i dont think the debt is fully clear yet my friend

I think u are right about him upgrading ibrox and extending the contracts of better players, although the debt hasnt been paid at all. It has just been transferred to whtyes company meaning rangers owe hi the money instead of the bank so that allows us some freedom. In my opinion if Rangers are more than 10 points clear at anytime this season or next they will enter administration and as Whyte is the only creditor he can accept any payment plan on offer, such as 1p per £1 allowing him to settle the £30million debt for just £300,000 then we would be completely out of debt and he would have only had to pay a total of around £300,001 for our mighty Glasgow Rangers. It is how he made most of his money, buying businesses that are in debt, taking the debt on himself then entering admin and paying back as little as possible and then selling the business for a large profit.

Whittaker is having a nightmare and probably cost us a place in the c/l, so don't include him in the "better players" bracket, please !

01 Sep 2011 11:49:16
mccoist thinks squad is in great shape.who's he trying to kidd
he be out ajob before christmas
mr white i wont be renewing next year you have conned all us bears WATP

Compared to fat Ally I'm in great shape

01 Sep 2011 11:47:14
Question for the editor - is it today the 25 man squads for the e.p.l are announced?
This might give us a chance to get a couple of loan signings by using the money we have due to the departure of james beattie.
We have also have fleck,hutton,and little out on loan who can cover if we have injuries.
Is edu better than hutton?we let adam go so hope we dont make the same mistake with hutton. {Ed001's Note - yes the squads are announced today and personally I think Hutton is potentially far better than Edu.}

01 Sep 2011 11:41:43
Hutton n fleck loan deals fell through. STV

01 Sep 2011 11:24:25
Just been looking at the full list of transfers on MSN UK and it is showing that we signed a CD Rabiu Afolabi from Red Bull Salzburg. Did I miss something? I don't remember ever seeing this guys name mentioned.

Ed can you confirm that we have signed him? {Ed001's Note - he plays for Monaco.}

01 Sep 2011 11:26:44
No surprise no one is posting anything think we all realising that our club is heading for rocky shores . T he people running our club are officially liars we were told money would be made available for squad improvement where has it improved theirs a theory that if everyone fit all the signings we made might. Not even start games with the exception of doian I think mccoist thinks this is best team and form.
Mcgregor
Whitaker
Doian
Bartley loan not our player
Papac
Edu
Mcculloch
Naismith
Davis
Jelavic
Lafferty

Mccoist said he needed players to go straight into the first team

01 Sep 2011 10:40:05
Ins
Goian
Ortiz
Bocanegra
Wallace
Bedoya
Bartley
McKay

Out
Bougherra
Huton + Fleck + Little (Loan)
Beattie

New Contracts
Davis
Wylde
Shagger
Whittaker (all 5 year deals)

Is this bad business? Not for me. We've kept our title winning side more or less and replaced the big superstar Bougherra with a good solid, no noncense centre half in Goian. We have signed the best young left back in scotland in Wallace. Bartley who can play centre half+Defensive midfield, Bocanegra who can play across the whole back 4 and Bedoya and McKay who we don't know too much about but at least give us options in midfield. We kept our top striker in big Jelavic, so maybe the only disappointment was we didn't get another striker in but we are in a far better position than last season. The emergence of Ness, Perry and Wylde is also a great sign. Given our inactivity in recent transfer windows i am pleased with the players we have brought in. Ally will win the league + a cup this season and possibly in January we could see a Jamie Murphy or Johnny Russell added to the squad, so i'm more positive than negative about most moaners on this site. WATP

Add weiss and deouff to the outs and we have NO extra numbers. Ally said his squad needed numbers "urgently" WTF Give it 5 mins and he'll be in the papers telling us it's just super we kept Jelly. The man is weak. In the dressing room and the board room

Well stated mate. Ger4life WATP

01 Sep 2011 10:35:20
So if we had been told a couple of months ago that we would sign 4 defenders and 3 non-attacking midfielders Im pretty sure most of us would have been disappointed

Thoughts?

01 Sep 2011 10:10:45
Am I the only person who believes the sale of GRFC to Messrs White and Ellis was a con job.
Promises of funds unfullfilled - bargain basement buys.
Thus far this is the worst Rangers Squad / Team I have seen in years.
Ally McCoist is a brilliant person but a lousy manager. Gordon Smith - what is that all about.
Might be worth looking through the list of free and unattached players, there may be something there.

01 Sep 2011 09:49:06
Thats it people stop hoping (because that's what you are doing), we knew we werent getting anyone in.

Now we have to concentrate on what we have and try for 4 in a row.

Personally can't see us getting it. Well done Mr Whyte.

01 Sep 2011 09:46:28
Morning all fellow Gers,I believe last night we seen how much faith mr whyte has in super ally(not alot which even a blind man could see),it is clear for all that we are in desperate need for another striker but he has failed to deliver whilst loaning out 2 valuable squad players ??
Fingers crossed our even slimmer squad can keep us in the title race till the next window.

01 Sep 2011 09:16:25
Looking the team we now have, as soon as our players get fit we will have a team strong enough to win the SPL! Win the league rthis year and go straight into the group stages which will make us more attractive to some bigger names. I can still see Diouf coming in (altho he does nothing on the park) because ally likes him. And for all u Whyte haters out there, he has had nothing to do with the transfers! Whyte has been, and still is, too busy clearing up the mess that the old board left behind! Remember them? The board that nearly ran the club into the ground!!

Rangers Blue WATP

01 Sep 2011 09:07:47
So Craig Whyte stated that he would be judged
at the end of the transfer window, would any1
like to start judging him

01 Sep 2011 08:58:34
Is anyone else wondering whyour thread baer squad cod loan out 2 players? Fleck I understand. We are down to the bare bones and when u balance $ in % out we have spent ledd than 500k. Do this years SPL winners get automatic entry to cl groug stages. So whyte u cost us 15 m this year ang prob 15m next yearwith you thight fisted ways and absolutely no football. Knowledge

01 Sep 2011 08:48:01
Let's not be hasty, we have got rid of Beattie and put 3 players out on loan to free up some wages.

Maybe Ally has done this knowing that the loan window opens in a week and there may be some good players that have been frozen out once the Epl 25 man squads have been announced on Friday.

It was disappointing not to get anyone in but we had already brought in 7 players so was there a need to panic buy when no big players were leaving.

There may be something in the pipeline next week and all the rumours will start up again tomorrow once the 25 man squads are announce.

As I have stated on here before no matter who we do or don't get in i will continue to support the team as long as they are giving their all for the club and I would expect all true fans to do the same.

Mr Whyte may take a bashing in the next few days but he has got us 7 players, signed up the major players on long term deals, and has got the bank off our back. Maybe just like Ally he needs time & once the tax case is solved then we may have a different approach.

4-in-a-row.

The Pilot!

01 Sep 2011 08:37:10
I was really hoping I'd wake this morning to find we'd signed one of the players we need. Instead I'm greeted with the news we released one an somewhat stupidly, put 2 on loan that we may need this season. I really do not understand
S-bear

01 Sep 2011 08:30:37
I am really disappointed in Whyte for the lies, and I am concerned that we didn't add to the squad in an attacking sense. But the window is shut so I will support the team, roll on Januray, lets just hope this group of players stays fit because our first eleven is alright (except Wylde) but after them it gets worrying.

GovanFR

Roll on january...what for?

01 Sep 2011 08:26:17
Fellow bears I hope I'm not alone in thinking this, given the recent fall in standard of player/ money spent on transfers i think it's time changes were made to how our game is ran countrywide, this isn't a rangers only problem. The first change I would make is to introduce 1 free child per paying adult for every spl game. Gone are the days where football was an affordable day for families whoever you support, and as a result attendances have fallen. What better
Audience to potential sponsors/ advertisement than a full stadium of families. Get our stadia full again, the loss in revenue from ticket sales would eventually not be noticed due to increased sponsorship.
Second change would be to introduce a voluntary donation at every home game for every team that would be used only for transfers or youth development and would be audited independently to ensure clubs didn't fiddle it into the running of stadia wages etc. That way fans can have a direct impact on quality on the pitch, take ibrox as example say 25000 fans donate £5 at 20 home games in a season that equals 2.5 million more than was spent this year for example.
Third change would be to stop only showing away games for old firm on tv, nothing turns fans away from our game more than this, it's embarrassing, no offence to st mirren but for a new stadium it's a disgrace, you can hear every man and his dog clear as day as if they were sitting on your sofa, and some of the stuff that's been broadcast is shameful, the commentators eventually have to apologise for the colourful language. Show the best this country has got,get ibrox and park head back on the telly

Thoughts anyone
A deep in thought bear

01 Sep 2011 08:20:08
Ok, I do feel like I have to defend Whyte a bit here. For starters, this club is in better nick than it was before he took over. Secondly, he – contrary to popular belief – HASN’T asset-stripped the club. And, lastly, the transfer budget may have been larger, if McCoist (and remember, only HE can make decisions on the playing front) hadn’t deemed Whittaker to be one of his untouchables and encouraged Whyte to finance a five-year, £20K-a-week contract for him. Just saying.

01 Sep 2011 07:57:36
Why is evryone beeing so hard on diouf he did nothing wrong last year . He was loaned last year to stop evryone talking about the loss of kenny miller and it worked plus didnt he score a goal that helped us past sporting lisbon plus the reason hes fallen out with steve keane is because ge showed up to train in a rangers top plus he was trying to talk goodwille out of movung to blackburn


gmp53

01 Sep 2011 07:40:16
Some people in the west of scotland just plain daft, on rangers we still have people posting utter dross about free agents coming we never even signed any1 on loan yest, has the penny not dropped? We dont have any money, on the celtic side we have idiots believing they have signed the new larsson for 2 million, if he is that gd why didnt 1 championship team never mind any prem teams go for him?

Blackburn tried to get him ya knob

01 Sep 2011 07:10:21
I said over a month ago that Whyte is in this to make money.

1) He paid £1 for the bears, set up a Ltd company and transferred the debt to that company then added every penny spent since the takeover to the bank debt. Whyte showed the bank he had money but it was always his intention to use it for development.

2) Every penny owed by the bears to Whytes company is a secured loan.

3) Whyte knows the HMRC case will go badly. RFC will go into adminsitration.

4) Whytes Ltd company will get paid before HMRC because the money owed is a secured loan.

5) Whyte & Ellis will sell themselves Murray Park & other land owned by RFC at a fraction of the cost.

6) RFC will be sold for a realistic price.

7) Whyte & Ellis will make a fortune from housing & shopping developments and David Murray will get a hefty backhander.

01 Sep 2011 06:26:20
The squad we have is dire! Only a couple of players with any passion and desire to play for the shirt!

We went for players to increase Rangers brand! None for footballing reasons.

The club got players tied to longer contracts again not for footballing reasons but to increase their sale value.

With no real passion from players and also owners no wonder the "Ibrox roar" is now a faint whisper.

The only passion on display is at BF1. Things have to change!

01 Sep 2011 02:18:25
It's pretty obvious the rhats from the Darkside are on here and have got most of you reeled in.

I suppose when you've not won the league for going on 4 year and won 1 trophy in the last 3 seasons, you need to deflect attention away from all that

No more BS about Mr Whyte, God only knows where we'd be without him. McGregor, Davis, Jelavic are all still here, Goian looks like a steal, Wallace has been immense, Bedoya & McKay will give Davo a bit of help in midfield, Naismith, Lafferty and Jelavic are more than enough for the SPL.

We Welcome The Chase.

You are the kind of mug whyte preys on son. no matter how you wrap it up, you were lied to. £5mil plus more upfront if needed. £10mil in bids all turned down. if you want to be lied to fine, but true bears and real supporters dont follow follwo blindly. we want to be respected by our chairman. if your lot all go on as if nothing has happened, the same thing will happen every year.

My opinion - Whyte needs to explain to the fans why he is a f*****g liar. Sorry Mr Johnston for doubting you.

Agreed. Perhaps we didn't spend much money because the management don't think we need to. Celtic are a bad lot, probably no better than last year. We have strengthened in weak positions, and I genuinely believe, once the team gels, that we'll canter the league.

"Wallace has been immense"

What matches have you been watching??
The only thing Wallacae has done is shown how integral Papac is to the team. Regardless of Celtic Fans coming on here to wind us up, serious questions should be asked about the £5m a year promised.

Its not that we haven't added numbers, but will these new players stop McCoist from Playing McCulloch and Edu?,

And don't try and convince me edu is a player, if that is the case then I am rather upset that McCoist or Smith never gave me a call before the Deadline, as I can honestly say at 30 years old, and only playing Sunday League football, I would contribute more in a Game than Edu

Rikkisixx

Yes we would be in a mess without Whyte. I think the unrest is due to the fact that he told the press that Ally would have £5m at his disposal and more if he needed it. Don't try and tell me or any other bear that Ally didn't want to strengthen. If the money was spent on some decent players it would have went a long way to winning the title and guaranteeing Champions League football next season and the cash that goes with it.
If the money wasn't there he shouldn't have told the press it was.

01 Sep 2011 01:49:12
i dont get why people are all up in arms about Rangers not signing anybody on deadline day, we have signed 7 people already this season, we have strengthened the defence with some solid signings (Goian, Bocanegres and Wallace), brought in 2 good centre mids (Bedoya and McKay), our target for today was holding on to Jelavic and we did. If Jela and Lafferty stay fit then we dont really need a new striker yet!

Your easily pleased mate that's all i can say. Goian & Wallace look decent enough but we don't know enough about the two midfielders and Bocanegras more of a full back than a centre half. We chased Goodwillie for long enough and when he chose to go elsewhere we didn't have a back up plan. We went for £3.5-4m Juhasz and ended up with Bocanegra for buttons. We went for £3m Verhoek and ended up with Bedoya for buttons! I hope the players mentioned turn out to be good ones but usually you get what you pay for. Whyte HAS NOT gave McCoist anywhere near his full backing. Even the most experienced of managers would struggle to deliver trophies with the squad we have never mind a rookie. Good luck Ally, you'll need it!

Bollox! You have swallowed the company line... So, last night whyte and Ally decided non in and 4 out was the way forward to help Allys "depleted and tired squad", his words, compete for the league? Oh, but we kept Jelly... well that's just fu*ckin' dandy, eh?

I agree with most of what you say but we should have spent money on a striker

JG

01 Sep 2011 01:34:32
Well gents, the transfer window is shut.
I was keeping my mouth shut, hoping beyond hope that we'd bring in more players.
We brought in 6 - Bartley, Ortiz, Bedoya, Bocanegra, Wallace and Goian, and we are rid of 5 - Bougherra, Little, Beattie, Fleck and Hutton.
I thought we were going to bring in more players, not just one more.
I see a squad of 22. Injuries are already costing us dearly, as are suspensions.
There's no doubt in my mind that as the season wears on, the injuries to key players will frustrate others and there will be even more suspensions.

I've changed my mind regarding Mr Whyte. I was really trying to keep an open mind and give him a chance, but not now. Add to this my bemusement at Ally's coaching decisions, and I fear the title won't come to Ibrox this season.
I sincerely hope I'm wrong, and we sign some free agents to boost the squad ...

Colin in Canada.

If we're struggling with injuries come january, then we've got the second window to bolster the squad. A successful transfer window in my eyes (thought obvoisuly a little disappointed we never signed anyone on deadlineday) Muzz

We brought in 7 you forgot about makay

At last! A guy seeing sense... k'mon bears this guy is giving it to us up the a*s! And Ally is sat there saying NOWT!

And McKay who looks decent

01 Sep 2011 01:18:14
Hi all my fellow bear buddies, no rumour just a question?
me personally am dissapointed with this transfer window seems like a lot of promises with little or nothing coming in.
like the majority of gers fans i will give the new boys time to settle but its hard to see them doing anything this year.
so my question is are you dissapointed and why? thx in advance for replying.

More than disappointed my friend. What we have here is a clusterf*ck! Said it a dozen times on this site and can't be assed saying it all in detail again but it wont take you long to work it out... by not spending the £6mill Ally asked for we are £18mill down already with a further £15mill down if we don't win the title this season... oh yea, the mans a business genius rite enuff!!

01 Sep 2011 01:05:02
Does any1 no wot andrew ellis has 2 do with our club, i no he owns a stake that was given 2 him by mr tight bt havnt seen or heard anything since th takeover was completed. This man has a reputation 4 ruining football clubs down south and now after wot i feel has been the most embarassing transfer window in our great clubs history i think questions hav 2 b asked, at least wit the bank we new wher we stood bt rite now i dont, apparently we had 5 mil 2 spend bt hav spent 1.5 aftr money recieved frm bougy nd adam. I hav renewed my 600 quid season ticket and bought al 3 shirts as i hav dun 4 th past 8 years, hav gone to 2 european games already ths season and th only entertainment i hav had is listening to th blue order. I wil continue 2 go nd suport ally bt wud jst like sum answers tht arent lies!!

Bit ov a rantn bear!

Ellis = The Horse

league is over we have no chance

Dam, and here I was thinking we were sitting on top ....

01 Sep 2011 00:24:55
Well I'll start by stating the obvious. Today was a disappointing end to a disappointing summer transfer window. Not only did we not sign anyone, 4 players have left - 3 on loan, 1 released. Our squad is thin enough without depleting it like that. No matter what you may think of the guys who have went elsewhere, a few injuries in the squad and things will look even worse than they do now.
All I can hope for now is that we have some out of contract players in mind that we will bring in. My personal opinion is that I'm not a huge fan of either Diouf or McFadden but, realistically, who else is there out there?
Frustrated and p....d off? That would be an understatement.

01 Sep 2011 00:22:03
people want to know why craig whyte bought rangers, the reason is simple.

- he bought the club for £1 off a man who revolutionised Scottish football and Rangers FC, a man who truly loved the club.
- Whyte has not cleared our debt, he has transfered it to one of his holding companies. this can be transfered back should we lose the hmrc case.
- By buying the club for £1 he stand to make a massive profit, well into the millions of pounds.
- He doesnt need to invest all that much because with no debt Rangers FC is a money making machine, it generates its own transfer kitty ect.

Whyte is the smartest owner in the footballing world - he bought a club for a quid and will make millions in the process of owning it and will eventually sell up for a big payday.

Thank god that somebody other than me knows the situation. People still saying he cleared the debt, why don't they read what is printed.

He's moved the debt to a holding company yes - but he can't just move it back to rangers and F off if we lose the HMRC case. He's accepted our debt and in doing so can not simply reject it back to rangers. He is liable to pay it not rangers therefore we have no debt. Our owner does however. Muzz

He still has the debt in a holding company so will either have to write it off (or pay it off from profits). However if we lose the HMRC case than this debt makes him the number 1 creditor (ahaed of HMRC which is why they are currently trying to close the loophole). He could then put RFC into administration and buy the club and all its assets back for a price, with nothing left for HMRC. This may put us in a position of strength in this issue. We would however face a points deduction similar to Dundee (first time around) but it would mean we don't win league for 1 season and then not have HMRC case hanging over us.

A man who truely loved the club and revolutionised scottish football.....he`s the reason we had lloyds on our backs,he lost intrest he left us high and dry- for the few good seasons he gave us the last lot of years were piss poor-murray is the reason whytes here

He will have to clear the debt then-who buys a club with debt??.....wolves were sold for a pound but they had thier debt payed off with the money the club would of been sold for-murray jumped ship before the tax case and handed over the club to a guy with no real cash money he has assets worths millions i doubt he has alot of cash millions-theres a very big difference-murray is as guilty as whyte in my eyes our beloved rangers is just a throne 4 whyte to sit on-i still think theres money there but he hasnt got his man in the club i think ally has to prove himself to whyte,whyte wont admit it as it undermines ally
steve the ger

01 Sep 2011 00:18:37
Not impressed at all, but would like to wish the young guy out on loan best of luck and hopefully get loads of games under their belt.
I honestly believe Ibrox will not be the place for the youths to play this season as i sense a long one ahead and if results go against us we will implode and i'm not exagerating, hope i'm wrong but rarely am.
Goodnight Whyte,hope you pesh the bed.
BR

01 Sep 2011 00:15:44
Im fed up hearing all this nonsense about rangers never signed enough players, Whyte done us we're out of europe boo hoo these things happen.

We have dropped 2 points this season to the 3rd best team in the league the manks dropped all 3 to a relegation fighting team.

Granted i would have loved to have seen more players coming in but for god sake we are not in advocaats era we are in the tight constraints of an owner who values what he has and if you so called fans are all honest you wouldn't P*ss your money away would you???

football in this country is terrible i think alot of ppl think we are better than we are scotland as a whole are no better than the teams that we all lost to the sooner we all realise this the better.

As for players we have signed:

Bartley proven to be a great signing last season

Goian Looks the part cant complain

Wallace tremendous signing will come on as season progresses

Bedoya can't comment

McKay Cant comment

Bocanegra i think will do a great job

and Ortiz admitted maybe not the best but he wears the blue and white so lets get behind them all

7 players in wht more do we expect

Mr Whyte although i would make a few changes you got my vote

4IAR

01 Sep 2011 00:31:42
Really hope Diouf doesn't come back, he did absolutely nothing last season but "do a Balotelli". He's made a career from one World Cup!

Jelavic £9million bid sounds iffy to me, if it was rejected from the unnamed club what was the point in telling the press in the first place? Smokescreen? Or strategy for the January window? "Yeah we refused a £9million bid back in august so he's worth more than that now!" Probably big Eck will do us a favour in January and give us £10million.

Good to see Arteta getting his big move, didn't hang around long but was quality when he was here

01 Sep 2011 00:29:44
DOES ANYONE KNOW IF IT'S TRUE DAVID WEIR WAS RELEASED

01 Sep 2011 00:02:52
Even up until ten to eleven I never gave up hope of a couple signings, gonna be a tough journey to January!

01 Sep 2011 00:00:20
We have signed wallace, goian, bocanegra (whole new defence) ortiz, bedoya and mckay (whole new midfield) So have faith. its impossible to bring in so many players and expect them to gel. expect more in january and in the summer. this is an ongoing process

31 Aug 2011 23:54:15
Gers cut Beattie. Bout f'n time. Still 3 loans out and who came in? Anyone?

31 Aug 2011 23:53:39
Rangers cancel the contract of James Beattie, confirmed on ssn

well at least that is one good thing to happen today..

31 Aug 2011 23:51:58
south african winger- bid rejected
dutch winger verhock - bid rejected
striker goodwillie-bid rejected
two young strikers on trial-no signings

3 questions
1- y were all the bids rejected-not enough money?bad negotiating or stubborness, ok could live with that
2-if theses bids were made then there was obviously money there to spend, so where has it suddenly vanished to?
3- what i cant live with is we clearly feel theses two positions need strengthinging by bidding for such players,y then have we not filled them with someone of a good quality with money like i said above must have been there?

31 Aug 2011 23:50:15
Does that burd next to Jim white speak or is just there to smile and look pretty?
I've not heard her say anything yet and i've been watching for ages.

31 Aug 2011 23:48:52
You honestly couldn't make it up, just checked the rangers website for any last min signings and there latest news is, bocanegra is looking foreword to the usa friendly games. I understand whyte does not want to spend money because of the tax case but please don't lie to the fans about the money we have to spend. Pennyboy

31 Aug 2011 23:46:24
Even though Rangers kept Jelavic, we didn't bring in anyone (e.g. a striker, a creative midfielder and a left winger) and Whyte has conned us all. His net spend has been £1 million (although he promised £10 million+) and offered £100,000 for Tshabalala and failed. Our "marquee" signing was Lee Wallace for £1.5 million and even then, we already have a LB in Papac. If Martin Bain was still Chief Exec, we would have got all the players that we had been wanting (Goodwillie, Hemed, Verhoek, Danns to name a few). Overall what i'm trying to say is...WHYTE IS A C@NT! Sorry guys, just had to have my wee rant.

31 Aug 2011 23:40:18
All you morons moaning about us not signing enough players need to get a grip. We got pumped out the Champions League and the Europa League in the Qualifiers so have no European income this season. Whyte has signed the USA captain, and winger (a team that has got further or equal in the last 4 world cups), signed a very promising players in Wallace and a romanian international (not to mention the stalwarts and promising youth players of our side that have been given improved and greatly extended contracts)!! He has also turned down big bids for Jelavic. Do remember whats happened before when we got bids for players. they all got accepted. 8 million for Hutton, 7 million for Cuellar, 3.5 for Boyd, 1 million mendes, bloody 400k for the leagues top scorer last season. GET A GRIP AND GET BEHIND OUR TEAM
