After all the players we have signed who do you think will be the most likely to leave us now that we have done our signing for. Wee bit {The Ed039's Note - Lee Wallace, Emilson Cribari, Neil Alexander, Kyle Hutton ...... players worth something or are not going to be getting a game. Quite a few youth players likely to leave also)

Hope ure not hearing things about Lee Wallace Ed that would honestly gut me he's been a great signing. I thought I heard him say he wanted to become a Club Legend.

Ed are you seriously suggesting Wallace won't get a game? Why wouldn't Ally pick his best player? {The Ed039's Note - Read it properly, I said players who are worth something OR who wont get a game, we know which one Wallace comes under)

ED/ lee Wallace? You think he might go? I remember the Villa rumour. {The Ed039's Note - I do think it might happen yes)

The only person who has benefited from all the nonsense going on at ibrox over the last 2 years is ally mccoist, do you think under normal circumstances ally would've got away with being a shocking manager picking up a million a year? I really can't believe he's still in a job after watching that dross last year.

Exactly mate, he is clueless in the management stakes. Unfortunately we are stuck with him while Wattie is the chairman. Can you really see Walt saying that he was wrong? Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy with the signings that we have made so far. that was until I opened this morning paper to see McCoist wants another striker. For the 2nd decision we now have more than enough. A centre back is all that's required. Spends megabucks so McCoist can be saved and retain his job. I hope I am wrong.

OP and 1) entirely correct lads.
There's just so much wrong at coach, management, director, chairman level. Nothing right anywhere but fans have to keep chipping in to keep it going. Very frustrating at least for most I've talked to.
Mathers is a temporary CEO and Smith a temporary Chairman (non exec anyway) there's nothing solid there at all.

You know that it is a given that you win the league and the Ramsden Cup and that the extra expenditure is for another cup win/run? Same as this year? The Mighty Jags await!

Arsenal just released a group of young players we should have a look at a couple of them

Arsenal would have let Rangers know. Arsenal are a well run club that look after tbier kids and would have done as much as posssible to get tbe kids sorted out.

And who are these players?

They released 10 youth players two of wich is sanches watt and mead who looked good at left back for arsenal against olimpiacos

I assume every club has released a group of young players.

Tom Cruise played left back for Arsenal against Olympiakos a few years back away from home. That's the lads real name btw, that's how I remembered it. Never heard of Mead

Kyle barkley anyone a dud

Looks like Humphrey is going to Preston. Lost a gem there, the boy is class

@op just like we lost law to Birmingham see unless it's confirmed why waste your time

Cant blame law and humphrey for going to championship. Its higher standard of football than 90% of scottish football. Better quality opposition, better pay and the possibility if reaching the coveted epl.

Agree with most of what you post @2, however I think the % should be north of 99. 99.

@2 except Law has signed for the Bears- 1 had his toungue in his cheek with sarcasm at OP - keep up lad

03 Jun 2013 18:45:51
law signed for us read the post

Law came to rangers

Aye well Humphrey just signed for Preston. that's the end of that one

Humphrey went to League 1 Preston

do you think the blue order should be moved right beside the away fans
just to get them used to it for when we get back to the spl
think that's where they should be blue order one side of the away fans
the union bears the other
and I hope that away fans should be given the minimum amount of seats
would think it a disgrace if any fan group were given just one seat more than the minimum
after there efforts to bring us down

Seats are based on a percentage of the total gate. Rangers have no say in it.

Totally agree, they are so ungrateful for all we've done for them over the years. Like vetoing all proposals for fairer wealth distribution when we were in spl. Let's forget the facts though and base all decisions on gut bitterness!

Move them out the stadium. They don't watch the game. just sing repulsive songs and spend their time winding up Police and Stewards! Move them to Bella Park!

Fans of non-SPL teams have done just what to deserve this attempted intimidation? Ally may have meant you when he spoke of "cleansing the club" from top to bottom.

Paddy Malarkey

Gut bitterness. yip that sounds about right
no it will never ever be the same
and I hope it never will

@3 what's your seat number at LEGO LAND. I sit near them and no sectarian singing and old fasioned banter.

04 Jun 2013 07:40:52
Gut bitterness? Take some Rennies and calm doon! It's only a fantasy that other teams are intimidated, didn't the spl and sfl votes last summer teach us that? Not much evidence of running scared there. Or since. Or ever probably. This 'need to be seen to be superior' is what got us in to this mess in the first place!

Will we swap bocanegra for kenny miller

Kenny Miller may well return on a player/coach deal and on a vastly reduced salary while he takes his coaching badges and helps out with a pro youth level side.

who is going?? we can't keep signing players while none go out, remember CG said the wage bill was too high but still we sign SPL players on big money to win the 2nd div and we can only register 22 over 21 in the SFL ( 5 of the young players from last season now fall into the over 21 bracket)

All nonsense, Charlie Green was a liar. Charlie Green's plan is long gone he wanted to make a return for his investors on year 2. "The wage bill" as Green put it was also based on the million spent settling oldco debts for players. The Season ticket money for last term is unspent, the season ticket money for this term is still to come. The deal with Puma, The deal with sport direct & Blackthorn, Media income from Rangers TV and corporate can more than take care of the wage bill. Charlie wanted rid of Smith, McCoist, Durrant and McDowell & blamed them for the over spend, puting the fear in the fans to get his way. don't believe the hype Financialy we are sound.

SFL rules state a playing squad of 22 players aged 21 or over can be registered. so as it stands
Alexander (if he stays) -35
Argyriou-25, Cole-21, Cribari-33, Faure-22, Perry-23, Wallace-25, Black-28, Hutton-22, McCulloch-35, Mitchell-21, Shiels-28, Templeton-24, Little-24, Naismith-21, Hemmings-21. Already confirmed as joining Bell-26, Law-25, Daly-30 Clark-22 and likely Smith -27. that's 21 players in total which leaves 1 place available. Obviously aged under 21 will be ok to register so indeed who goes to make way for more signings? Also what about Goian and Bocanegra if a club can't be found for them what happens with them?

@1/ I find your post to be worrying. Do you have any idea of the way Green structured the income streams into Rangers? They are all separate companies with Green holding directorships in them all. As for financially sound, wake up mate. Do you really think players on 3-5-7k per week are needed to beat part time players?

1) How deluded are you!

"the season ticket money for last term is unspent"

So what were Rangers paying wages with-chocolate buttons!

The truth is Rangers lost £7m between June and Dec last year, god knows how much this year! Signing players on SPL wages, no-one going out the door, Goian and Bocanegra back on the wage bill on massive money.

The likes of Black, Perry, Cribari and the Greek aren't going to walk away from the fat contracts they were given! Sandaza has a lawsuit ongoing (which I think he will win)

This dosent add up!

Ally's trying damn hard to spend that £10m "warchest" to win 2nd div, manager with no technical ability only interested in a short term fix and as your in no rush to get back to SPL why is he not got the balls to blood the so called young talent from Murray Park?

Poster 1. You argue against yourself. you say you are financially sound, then you talk of an overspend? Ever looked at a balance sheet pal? Left and right columns?

@1 if financially sound audited accounts would have been publish just like Celts.

but they haven't for 3 year running. so we don't KNOW the financial picture.

Fans could stump up £6m in ST money and whyte could walk away with every penny in his settlement!

can ye no see this possibility, even green said whyte could cause issues in court for 10 years - and UEFA would lap that up and banish GERS fae europe for 5 more years easy.

whyte needs to be paid. from where. ?

The players that are just 21 might still get classed as under21s all depending on their birth date

I might be cynical here but if I was planning to build up some revenue before finding a reason to quit and run with it, I would buy lots of New players to appease the fans and then run leaving the club to administration. Walter and new players are season ticket sellers. I hope I'm wrong but all this spending is fantasy, I don't think I could face another administration. That's why I will still be supporting Rangers but on a game to game basis.

N9 ide imagine rangers will be making a statement before long in order to sell season tkts letting us know what's heppening letting us make up our own minds

all this talk about overspending is getting out of hand. I am confident that current board and management are only too aware of such a problem, and are probably bringiing in 3 or 4 players for LESS than one oldco player was getting. let's get positive and get behind the team, on and off the park.
We have another title to aim for and it all starts again next month and maybe we will do a bit better in the cups this time around.
Welcome all you knew lads! Onwards and upwards.

Wee Bill

3 or 4 players for 1 oldco player, wot u smoking. The club is having to give huge wages for a div 2 team. The days are gone when players want to play
For the shirt.
This sounds a bit familiar but the club is
Spending big thinking that when in spl
They will make money back.
My worry is our debt could be 25 mill
Even b4 we kick a ball in spl.
Plus sick of all these deluded fans talking about needing real rangers men,
Running the club. Where were these real rangers men when we needed them. We need a new chairman who is nuetral and will grow the club, men that use there heads, not hearts

Is that not what started all this trouble? the I am sure the board know what they are doing argument?

I'm sure Nicky law was quoted as saying he could have went down south for more money, so the players we're bringing in might not be on what everyone thinks they are

N3 confident young players will come to rangers known europe will eventually happen that way putting themselfs in shop window if they want a change for bigger money or happy enough to get lots of medals

just had a look for peralta on youtube. there only appears to be one long video of this lad and a few doing interveiw, the video I saw appeared to highlight every mistimed tackle he did throughout the game until stretchered off with his last crazy tackle. this video did not impress me one bit. it was like watching a very poor mans scot wilson at his worst, I know youtubes videos are not reliable but do give some sort of display from a player but on this occasion by what I saw I would not even have a second look at this player, I could also be made to eat humble pie tho!
jammydodger

Sounds like an Ally buy.

Wouldn't judge a player on youtube mate, let's see what the lad is like when he's playing at ibrox.
