Arsenal preparing a �£12 million pound offer for Big Allan McGregor. I think that would be too good to turn down, Alexander would be a decent replacement and it would free some cash up for Ally to strengthen other areas.

22 Jun 2011 23:12:52
Goodwillie to be charged with serious assualt in Glasgow dating back to November...no looking good to sign him...

Budge {Ed021's Note - confirmed on BBC tonight.

22 Jun 2011 22:04:15
I think that if we buy lee wallace we could maybe play him as a left mid. My reason for this is that papac has been very consistent and is probably better defensively than wallace. Also he has a great delivery and is great going forward and it would give wylde and sasa competition. Saying that, i believe that when sasa leaves next season we would have a ready made replacement.

why sign wallace hes not any better than papac or broadfoot really starting too worry about this new rangers regime

22 Jun 2011 22:30:34
Not a rumour just a thought , we are trying to get Goodwillie and prob another forward , I think once we get Goodwillie we should wait and see how Beattie is pre season and also sign Healy , even on 6 month contract , to see how the both are after a full pre season , which neither got last year , it's worth a punt rather than buying in some player we have never heard of who might not settle.Any thoughts , as both are proven in the EPL ??? {Ed021's Note - get a good pre season under Beattie and you never know. Healy is a different story though.

Not suggesting Beattie and Healey are loyal hard working players, but for same kind of money i think we could get Nugent and i know which i would rather have

{Ed021's Note - been posts about Nugent tonight and his name seems to be gathering pace.

Nugent again ? , Eagles has also been mentioned on here too, please let's not go back to rubbish who have kncked us back and should be offered nothing but sympathy for making a stupid mistake by knocking us back, so GTF both of them.

22 Jun 2011 22:28:25
starting to worry about the new rangers regime players being linked with us on this site are a joke if we cant compete with cardiff real mallorca and celtic what chance have we got to get some of the guys were being linked with on here .

22 Jun 2011 22:20:21
I met John Fleck in Frasers in Glasgow and he's been to see McCoist before Ally went on holiday and has been told this is his year to prove all doubters wrong. Fleck has been working hard in pre season on his own and looks to have lost weight. Watch the wee man go, gonna be a star for club and country!

{Ed021's Note - Big season for him.

Anyone else actually think we should be sending him out on loan?

GovanFR

Hope so, because if we are honest from being what looked like an absolute stick out he has become ordinary AT BEST.

I agree. Fleck has disappointed since his hyped arrival. He did nothing to impress me in any of his appearances last season, and I feel that in terms of genuine quality and a future Scotland International regular, he has fallen behind Ness, Wylde and Hutton.

I think a loan could be beneficial to him providing it's to a decent club who plays football on the ground. His development has stalled when you think back to what we seen of him at 16/17 he looked like he would end up one of the best in Britain! Still only 19 and won't have lost the ability. Needs regular football and confidence to build, then he will become a star. In a weird way, it could all work in his favour as people have now lowered expectations.

Too much pressure to early. I think a wee loan season would do him the world of good. Are we not trying to use him as a makeweight in the Goodwillie deal or did I imagine that?

22 Jun 2011 22:17:13
gers fan trying to remain calm with the fact players want to sign for diddy teams like cardif and mallorka before rangers but if celtic sign neill danns il be ripping with the new chairman. if goodwillie is to expensive fair enough but hemed, conway and danns are all bosmans and well worth a punt. agree/disagree?.

What makes you think Danns is the real thing, had you ever heard of him a month ago.,

Yes! danns would bring energy to the midfield and hes strong with a good touch and can pick out a pass to be honest id prefer a flair player to help davies push forward but danns wont cost anything so is well worth a punt in my oppinion.

22 Jun 2011 21:51:47
Who dyou think is better at left back, lee Wallace or sasa papac

Wallace/ believable. Papac/ unbelievable

I think Papac will be first choice LB, Wallace is still relatively young and in all likeliness will be second choice but first choice the season after.

GovabFR

Really do not want to knock Papac, think he has been a great buy and has done a great job for us, rate him so highly, but things move on and as far as SPL concerned think Wallace [if fit] really looks the part.Annoyed i said that as Papac has been a true professional doing great job with no external issues unlike many.

Erm? papac is a centre half maby he should get a game in centre defence and we should buy a left back

22 Jun 2011 21:39:39
to theguy who said this-22 Jun 2011 12:21:26
this is lies, Gibson is a Celtic fan. he refused to play for northern ireland even though he is from the north, this is because his whole family are republic and celtic fans. he give his allegiance to the republic of ireland even though he probably wont ever get a game for them. i am from Londonderry and i know this is a fact. Now mate im a gers man but gibson is a very good player and he will play many games for r ireland you are blinded by bigotry...*ksd*

I agree, half the folk spouting Catholic this and Protestant that have no idea what they're talking about. I want decent players regardless of where they're born, what religion they are etc. It's easy to sit here in scotland talkin that sh*t but not so easy when you live in east belfast with the threat of being caught up in the troubles.

22 Jun 2011 21:27:19
Bid launched for Wallace

Great piece a business if we get him papac is steady at the back but doesnt offer much attacking threat wallace can defend and go forward and is at a decent age as well !!!

craig whyte , penny pinching property developer??

{Ed021's Note - Chaps, no more posts about Craig Whyte please. Early days. The transfer window has only been open for a short period of time remember, so there is plenty of time to improve our squad. Things will be going on that some of us are not privy to. Cheers.

22 Jun 2011 21:08:24
22 Jun 2011 20:46:33
A good mate of mine who plays down south for sheffield utd told me Rangers are interested in Snodgrass. {Ed021's Note - Depends how much Leeds value him at. Ed021.

Cant see it happening , they are talking 5 mil for him

Not a chance wont pay 2 million for goowillie 19 goals lastseason and young player of the year, snodgrass wont leave for less than 4 million!!!!!

22 Jun 2011 17:32:31
Although I'm disappointed we didn't get Conway I feel that there will be players as good, and better, if we wait for prem teams to make signings and pick their squads. Take Weiss for example, Man City are constantly being linked with Alexis Sanchez and Jaun Mata so say they sign one of them surely that pushes Weiss down the pecking order! sane with Bartley if Arsenal get the rumoured Cahill and/or Samba. Just 2 examples of the situation which will occur at every club in the EPL. Goodwillie is a must for me, even at £2m he is a bright young Scottish prospect who will score goals and cause any defence problem. Loan deals are however the way we will have to go until the books are not just balanced, but tipped in our favour!

Your opinions ed?

BordersBear!

22 Jun 2011 10:16:40
Ed, whit the !!!! is going on? we can't get Hemed, or Conway, but someone is making mischief by suggesting Royston Drenthe, banter is banter but ffs KEEP IT REAL------ ish ! C'Mon Ally 4narrow sign som knut {Ed021's Note - Good times will continue my friend. Please do not fret.

22 Jun 2011 19:15:29
Rangers in for Wallace. An offer of about �£300,000

bbc web site {Ed021's Note - Chaps, I will end this thread re Lee Wallace. Rangers have bidded for him and this has been confirmed. Ball is now in Hearts court. Cheers.

22 Jun 2011 20:40:11
rangers have bid 300k for hearts lee wallace and although it will be rejected around 500k should seal the deal. also expect goodwillie deal to go through as well as cuellar and bartley. still feel we need a central midfielder and a winger if we are to seal title number 55. any suggestions as to who that may be?

22 Jun 2011 20:32:31
Team for next season

GK- A. McGregor (possibly) if not C.Bell
RB- S. Whittaker
CB- S. Papac
CB- C. Cuellar
LB- L. Wallace
RM- S.Naismith
CM- S. Davis
CM- L. McCulloch
LM- (New, not yet known, signing)
ST-D. Goodwillie
ST-N. Jelavic

GK- N. Alexander
CB- D.Wilson (Loan CB )
RB- K. Broadfoot
LM- G. Wylde
CM- J.Ness
ST- K. Lafferty
ST- (Loan ST)

Ins

GK:possibly C.Bell if Rangers are offered ridiculous sum for McGregor

CB: Loan (D.Wilson possibly K. Bartley) IMO Bartley is better

LB: L. Wallace

LM: Unknown, C. Conway looked certain, wasn't to be, names will be tossed around for a few weeks although I am certain Ally has somebody in Mind.

ST: D.Goodwillie

St: Loan (maybe A.Smith)

Outs

CM: Maurice Edu, didn't have much to do when surrounded by good players (Mendes, Ferguson, Davis and McCulloch) has had a disgusting season. For me dead wood.

ST: James Beattie, Ally will judge him from his pre- season work ethic although honestly cant see him playong for us next season.

Edinburgh Bear

If Papac was is good enough why was he not playing at centre back last season when we had injurys their? Walter and Ally put Whittaker at CB.
Followfollow81

Only thing wrong with this is lafferty he proven he good up front with jelavic so i suspect ally will give them a chance but that only my opinion big rab by the way

22 Jun 2011 20:26:45
to the guy who said papac is good enough at left back your correct but what is happening with davie weir maybe SUPER ALLY will put papac at left centre back his preferred position.

22 Jun 2011 20:00:30
with wallace a pottential left bk signing... i take it wer planning to use papac as a cb! this is a gd move as he is great defencivly! but offers nowt in attack lol anyone else have thoughts on this?

He offers a lot in attack and as a defender.In fact could play as a left sided C.B.But right now he is a left back.And I would have him any day, over the Honduran at Ceptic park.He is only 22, and is going to get better and better.He reminds me of a young David Robertson.High praise cos he was some player at full back.

22 Jun 2011 20:48:12
My realistic Gers XI for next season:

Alexander
Whitty Bartley Cuellar Papac
Naismith Davis Lansbury Weiss
Jelavic Goodwille

Bartley & Lansbury in as part of McGregor to Arsenal deal, would look for £9m cash aswell

Weiss in on a permanent deal, possibly £3.5m with add-ons

Goodwillie for £1.5 - £2m

Another couple signed up for bench and I feel that it would be enough to win SPL.

By the way - Lansbury is a brilliant player and perfect partner for Davis. Wenger just doesn't seem to fancy him in the arsenal team!

Any agree or otherwise. Leave comment.

BordersBear

Need a right midfielder as naisy cannot play that position , he needs to play in the middle as he has shown this year compared to the times he played wide right and wide left

22 Jun 2011 18:55:09
12m is alot money for rangers to put towards other players and wages so would not be to bad if mcgregor left potentially get more than 12m, hope mcgregor dosent go but if offered 15m would say yes.

22 Jun 2011 18:53:37
feel that even though wyhte said that mcgregor wasnt for sale but if he was to be offered around 16m or at least bartley and maybe other potential loan targets feel that alot of rangers fans would approve of the move.

22 Jun 2011 18:46:28
Alan Smith to Rangers?! Thought he was going back to Leeds! I appreciate you have Champions League football potentially but I obviously hope it's rubbish!

22 Jun 2011 18:34:08
Looks like Gibson has joined Sunderland according to most recent twitter updates

22 Jun 2011 18:29:27
BBC Sport - Rangers bid for Hearts full-back Lee Wallace
news.bbc.co.uk
Rangers table an offer for Scotland left-back Lee Wallace, according to current club Hearts.

better than papac in my opinion

billyb

22 Jun 2011 18:21:02
Rangers have made a bid for lee wallace from hearts.

news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13875645.stm?

22 Jun 2011 18:05:35
Hearts receive bid from rangers for Lee wallace

Great news he is the best left back in the country.And can defend better than Izzy.And gets up and supports in the way way.And makes the chances for the strikers.I hope we get him.And do not lose out to a Wigan or Wolves.Who have shown interest in him.And I hope Eck sells us big Carlos.If we get them our defence will be a lot stronger next year.And we could play Papac at C.B were he plays for Bosnia.I would not mind us going after Murray Davidson.To give us a bit of bite in midfield.Wolves have shown interest in him to.If Ally wants him.Its time he made the move to get him.

Your correct papac can play cb but he has not played a single game for bosnia since he signed for us {Ed021's Note - Dispute with the federation.

22 Jun 2011 17:29:23
Rangers confirm bid for Cuellar. Any ideas on what the fee could be? WATP
---------------------------------------------------
think it would probably be in the region of 2-3 million and does anyone else think ally has to wake up and realise we have 12 million to spend instead of saying goodwillie at 2m is too expensive
My team for next year would be
Mcgregor
Whittaker Cuellar Papac

Bartley

Davis Danns

Naismith Weiss

Goodwillie
Jelavic

would cost overall
Cuellar 3m
bartley 2m
danns free
weiss 3.5-4m
goodwillie 2m
This is the most i think the players would cost at an overall of 10.5-11m and we have 12 so we could afford that what do us think of that team

22 Jun 2011 16:49:00
22 Jun 2011 13:47:08
...................Julien Faubert from West Ham but wages may scupper that one.

Another brilliant post. You couldn't make it up.......but you did. He is an absolute haddie. We did well when he KBd us years ago.

22 Jun 2011 16:30:32
we fans have been getting made mugs of for years its a disgrace.
Champions league and European money from the last 3 years including UEFA cup final - where is it, it certainly wasnt used to reduce debt levels. - around �£35m
Money from Carlos Cuellar sale - �£9m - where is it?
Surely a smart business would either reduce or indefinetly stop dividend payments? eg BP oil crisis.
A true rangers fans yearly salary - around �£630,000 (Martin Bain for the numpties)
Is it not time the club gave something back to the people - the way the people have given religiously - new signings can be financed.

Do you really believe the pish you type

Also the 9 Million for Alan Hutton.

AND THE 8 MILLION FOR BOUMSONG A FEW YEARS AGO

22 Jun 2011 15:41:23
On the drenthe rumors he's fast that's it not got much in the way of real football ability was only signed by Madrid on the back of one u-21 tournament

22 Jun 2011 15:31:08
And you know Gibson is a Gers fan how? Considering he chose the Rep of Ireland over Northern Ireland due to a loophole to where he was born (Londonderry not Derry) HE CHOSE Rep of Ire. So do you not think it would cause a lot of agro if he joined? Rant over
Its Derry not Londonderry, and the guy chose a superior team to play for.

Its LONDONDERRY check any atlas

22 Jun 2011 14:16:29
To my fellow bears who r living in planet doom could you's all stop and think for a minute.Last season we won the league I seen every game and to be frank we were s**te in the vast majority. I watched games where we were outplayed at IBROX by the so called diddiy teams in the league but we still won most and our away form was outstanding. Now my point is in these games we were s**te it was more or less the same players all the time as we know SIR WALTER, SUPER ALLY, AND KENNY MAC couldn't read each others writing so we hardly ever used subs, now the last 7 or 8 games we played outstanding football with these same players whose attitude changed it was like watching 2 different teams so lets take the last game of season as example TEAM: 1:SHAGGER 2:WHITTS 3:WEIR 4:BOUGY 5:PAPAC 6:NAISMITH 7:DAVIS 8:EDU 9:WYLDE 10:LAFFERTY 11:JELLYFISH, how many of these players would u drop if they were all playing at 100% not many so if we r going to bring in players lets make sure they can enhance this first team and not just be sitting on bench which there was more than a big chance hemed and conway would have done we can't go back to days when we had players not in squad picking up fortunes so if we don't get a few players who r going to be squad players who gives a f*** I would put out team above playing at 100% against any1 even in champions league when we played valencia at IBROX this wasn't far away from the team we had out and we should have f***ed them about 6-1 with the chances we had that night so stop the doom and gloom do u think for 1 minute CRAIG WHYTE wants to be known as the the chairman of RANGERS who f***ed the whole thing up as he says he is new to transfer dealings thats why he has brought in GORDON SMITH to have some1 who knows that side of buisness now he has got rid of that rat bain. THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT THE FUTURE IS CRAIG WHYTE. WATP.

22 Jun 2011 13:47:44
Everyone needs to chill out. Ally will make roughly 6 signings this transfer window. As for Goodwillie though, I believe he is worth the 2 million asking price and craig whyte should fork out that money IF they cant go any lower. Having said that, You lot need to have faith in ally and whyte and just remember... We are the champions !!! WATP !!

22 Jun 2011 13:22:15
we should test Dundee Utd with a 1m bid for Goodwillie - see how they cope with a 7 figure sum in front of them. We need to be as aggressive as possible. I think we could get hiom for betwen 1m and 1.4m

Test them ? we have enquired and they have valued the boy at �£ 2 mil< simples, so make a realistic offer and use the impending court case as a bargaining tool, imo �£ 1.5 and Fleck on loan should be well within the realms of possibilty, Bears ?

22 Jun 2011 12:58:58
J.evans yes but gibson I smell a timmy!!! Keep the faith my fellow bears cause we are the people we will win 4iar no probs and I prefer we take our time getting players and not rush in who have we really missed out on conway lol tomer lol they both went to wee clubs their loss could off been champions WATP

22 Jun 2011 12:49:26
Who tells more lies 2 rangers fans? Lloyds or craig whyte? Agree 4 Lloyds disagree whyte, p.s I go for whyte goin be worst thing thats ever happened 2 gers.

State 1 thing mr whyte has lied about.
Get a grip.

If whyte hadnt bought rangers we would have lost at lest 3 players with no replacements second thing is the tax case hasnt gone away that why the debt is secure against the assets murry park ibrox etc so if the tax case is lost we hold on to them if we win he will either do a shares issue or write it off its has come to light bain give himself a huge pay raise when the club was struggling a disgrace i believe whyte will but us on a a firm footing for the future on signings he himself said we need 6 players on conway was never offered a contract hemed went to a club who finished 1 point above the relegation zone they maybe in a good league but the are not a top flight club we offered a fair 8thousand a week for an unproven striker they double his wages but i let you work out why he went t spain imo it wasnt the weather big rab by the way

22 Jun 2011 12:26:51
I want Whyte out! Three targets are now gone just cos he can't up his money! We've just went and lost Danns cos him!

Get a grip man! there would be no targets if bank were still in control o club.greet if situation still the same on sept 1st

Where has Danns gone ???????????? I have seen nout on this !

Danns away to Celtic... {Ed021's Note - Confirm your source please. Cheers.

Away Back to your own page Timothy.

In all honesty, who heard of Danns before the summer.....Exactly.

I cannae believe some of the so called Rangers Fans reaction to the lack of signings.

1 or 2 Quality signings will be brought in, the rest will be good squad players. (4 or 5)

Now can we get back to the rumours, Ed I assume you agree that there is no need to worry at this stage (especially with the U21's in full swing) but do you rate Dann's, Conway (who we didn't even offer a deal), or even Hemed anything other than Squad players?

Rikkisixx {Ed021's Note - Rikkisixx, there are obviously moves afoot with regards to signings. Danns looks a good player, Conway was never offered a contract and Hemed would have probably struggled for a regular start. Ally stated that he will only bring in players who will improve the squad. Remember, we are reigning champions and I predict quality will come in eventually. It really is the crazy part of the transfer window.

22 Jun 2011 11:47:27
I agree with Mr Whyte that we shouldn't pay prices that we believe are unrealistic, but let's face it Goodwillie can't be far away from �£2 million. In relation to Danns, if we're really interested in the player let's make a decent offer and stop wasting everyone's time.

Not the Gers Staff, Its the Agents.....

and the fact that Rangers and Celtic are a proven stepping stone to the EPL, then boths sides get offered every player thats going.

rikkisixx

22 Jun 2011 11:36:06
Think we need to all calm down, all the talk of who we will sign whips up a hysteria and false expectation, then when we lose out on a supposed target, the media jump on our disappointment and try to stir up a crisis. We will get cash to spend, we will get new players, and we will have a team to compete in the SPL next season. We are in a period of massive change and the club has a chance to consolidate and then grow, but this needs to be done in a manner which guarantees that we never slip so close to the edge of financial oblivion again. Other clubs will find themselves with similar difficult decisions to make in the coming years with those on the other side of the city becoming more and more uncomfortable at their own financial position, do the Maths, 3yrs no CL Football = �£30 mil of lost revenue, this coupled with poor transfer dealings and over inflated wage structure as they try to chase what has been a cash strapped and thread bare Rangers team. Oh and all this talk of the Tax man, he will come a knocking on others doors soon enough. So have faith and believe that we truly are the people.

22 Jun 2011 10:31:09
I think if Rangers just leave Goodwillie because 2Million is inflated then it's cause for concern, because he should be a big target and if we can't try and buy him it is worrying. No pessism though really, we are the champions.

Seriously, When you buy a house...do you know how much the seller is after without asking?????????

Rangers queried, Utd answered, rangers will then offer Probably �£1.5 m and add-ons, to the value of �£2M, possibly over a couple of years.

Whyte is right to structure deals that don't have us forking out large sums up front.

Remember we are playing European football, where our money is made, the players we have been linked with, (with exception to Cueller) have not been tested at a high level, so we are right to be cautious when it comes to spending money, and make sure that any newcomer to the team will enhance the current squad (which Conway and Danns wont do)

Rikkisixx

22 Jun 2011 09:35:54
There is no wonder celtic can afford high wages. They obviously dont have to pay for any scouts as they just seem to go for any players we are after.

J J

Sounds like sour grapes to me , get on with it

So the papers would have you believe. I'm a Celtic fan and our 2 best players, Izzy and Kayal, were both scouted by Celtic. Why would we go after your targets when we can find gems like these on our own?
Kevbhoy

2/13, must do better......
Rasmusson, Rogne, Juarez, Thompson, Cha, Mizuno, Mulgrew, Crosas, Cervi, etc etc....

Still looking over their shoulders at what the Champs are doing, Mmmmmmmmmm Septic running scared me thinks, jog on the worlds most succsesful RUNNERS UP Lol

22 Jun 2011 08:11:19
Conway.....Hemed......Danns?? looks like we are missing out on all 3 but lets be honest are we that worried?? they would all have been sqaud players at best on free transfers.....Whyte said today club working on 5-6 signings and i would l think possibly a couple of loans on top.

If we can add the following to the existing squad we will be in great nick for 4 in a row.....

Cuellar - CD
Bartley - CD (loan or £1.5m)
Wallace - LB

Bedoya - LM
Weiss - LM / RM (Loan)

Another central midfield player

Goodwillie - St
Peniket - St

Get a grip man

22 Jun 2011 07:39:26
why can, t craig whyte and super ally keep quiet on transfer targets all we are doing is the spade work for septic.its time for us to do it the proper way and to keep it in house until it happens. airdrie bear

Perhaps that's exactly what they are doing, until they sign someone we won't really know. They are maybe happy to discuss players that are at best squad players or in the case of Cuellar and Goodwillie players who have committed to sign regardless of money, because they want to play for Rangers.
BigGordi.

Get a grip man . if you no how football works , it is the agent that puts the players name about , he wont just speak to the mighty rangers , if yous started to pary with the money mr white promised then yous might get some were

22 Jun 2011 03:18:16
hello to my fellow bears and Ed, i'd like to see ally and the team stick to british talent as much as we can, we have a good core of them already in mcgregor, davis, lafferty, naismith, etc not to mention the young guns like wylde, hutton, ness for the future. in my opinion these kinda guys are who carried us through the last three league championships, guys who know what its all about to play for rangers we need to continue to nurture this never say never attitude. to many overpaid, overrated foreign players end up washed up on ibrox's doorstep who are simply not good enough. think back to the days when ally himself played with guys like mcall, gough, gazza, durrant who would run through a brick wall in the 90+ minutes to get victory for the gers, yes we had laudrups and co back then aswell same as we had jelavic and co last year that bring that bit of european flair but i think if we build on the best we can get around britain we could see much more sucess in the years to come
what do you guys think agree?/disagree?

Right go to daily mirror sport transfers. Scroll down the left hand side until you get to the time in red at 22.30. It's there

{Ed021's Note - Confirmed my friend and is on the website. Will probably be in the Sun tomorrow as same newsgroup. Keep up the good work}. Cheers. Ed021.

Cheers ED. Do celtic even have scouts? It's shocking. Anyone we want they always try and sweep the carpet from below is. It's a joke.
Sparky72

{Ed010's Note -I disagree with you Sparky, it has nothing to do with scouting. Clubs are made aware of a player's availability, by their agent. Hence the amount of time that Celtic and Rangers are both apparently "chasing" the same player. Recently both Weiss and Commons were targets for both but ultimately, one chose one half of the Old Firm and the other, the other half. It is something that will happen time and time again.

If like me, anyone didn't know to what the original contributor was referring, here is the link : www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2006589/Rangers-owner-Craig-Whyte-targeting-signings.html

22 Jun 2011 00:52:49
I'm not at all worried at the moment regarding our transfers.
Ed, Why aren't rangers fans angry that Vain was awarded such a huge increase on his salary. It makes me so angry that we were in dire straits yet Vain was feathering his own nest.

I firmly believe that his behaviour proves he was not a genuine fan.
Believe in our best no 9 super ally.

If your boss offered you a 35% pay rise would you turn it down. Even if you knew your company was in financial difficulty and voiced these concerns to your boss, saying you couldn't take more money at such a time, he might have assured you it was ok, that you deserved it and new finance was imminent so the company could afford it. How do we know that wasn't the case with Bain?

People are looking for enemies because they desperately want to think Whyte is right. What if he isn't? What if Bain has been treated badly and illegally in terms of employment law? If the legal action goes all the way and the courts decide in Bain's favour, will you still attack him?

Daily express same story as goodwille story

Ibrox supremo Whyte insists that Rangers fans should NOT panic about the lack of success so far in the market and that five or six new players will be recruited.

Let's hope the wage rumours are untrue and that the club actually starts getting serious about signing players. Time for Mr Whyte to show us the money.... We can't allow all our targets to slip past.

Daily express. Good paragraph from a crap story saying rangers will not pay 2 mill fir goodwillie

Whyte has also opened talks with Aston Villa about re-signing Carlos Cuellar and is confident of tying down Allan McGregor, Steven Whittaker and Steven Davis on new contracts.
�
But no deal will be done for Scotland starlet Goodwillie unless United slash their asking price.
�
Whyte admitted: I think for that individual player , �£2 million is too steep.

The owner of the club - not a football expert - telling the manager who not to buy as he thinks the player isn't worth it? Surely he should trust his manager and if McCoist wants a player and proves he thinks he can improve the team, then Whyte should do his best to put a deal in place. Not at all costs, of course, but not many people are arguing with United's valuation...

Now then fellow gers, for a start Conway was never good enough for us is he better than wylde or fleck?

Danns maybe an option
as a squad player but again would
he push out what we have? Don't get sucked into the hype
about whyte and mccoist's apparent failures until the start of the season. Some signings will be made when the Market out of the UK opens on the 1st of July so don't get bogged down in who we've not signed so far. Last season jelavic was worth more than multiple championship diddies celleek managed to sign so keep
the faith chaps

As much as i agree with this point - i think a lot of us are becoming a wee bit frustrated that x amount was being invested and y was on wages and players. Yet Whyte is qouted in the June 22nd edition of the sun as saying goodwillie isnt worth �£2m and he wont pay it. Theres also been a lot on these websites saying about how he is unwilling to go over �£5k-�£6k. Scotlands is a hard enough market to attract quality players to without detering them anymore with stingey paypackets. - agree/disagree

6k per week! that'd do for me.
The market for players is all relative and ridiculous at times. We should be paying less tan 2 mil for Goodwillie. He's only ever played in the SPL, he's won nowt and I think he only has one scotland cap as a sub against the mighty Faroe Islands. Let the Championship and EPL pay silly money for potential. If he's a bluenose like everyone says he is then 1.5 mil and 6k per week to win trophies with his boyhood heros should seal the deal. If not, fu*k him, there's plenty of players out there and plenty of time. Remember! 3 in a row spending f*ck all with a solid team unit WATP
