Rangers Rumours Archive October 24 2011

Craig Whyte will start moving players out in January in order to reduce the wage bill. Players he's looking to get off the books include:

1. Healy
2. McCulloch
3. Kerkar
4. Broadfoot
5. Weir
6. Papac (If a fee can be made)
7. Fleck (Loaned out)

Well you couldnt blame him but Papac you would hope he could stay and get a new contract.

God the way we are shipping in Goals i would snap your hand of fur Davie Wier Would be perfect foil for Mulgrew.

I would love Papac to stay, great player.

Sasa Papac is the most underrated reliable and just all round great player whos played with Rangers from what I remember. I respect him so much for his contribution to the club a true unsung hero who is actually a great player rather than a average consistent player. I'd like to see him playing with us another couple of years.

To OP:

A think we should get rid of healy, mc'culloch and weir should stay - they deserve our loyalty, kerkar av no seen play so can't comment, flecks too big-headed a think - should have improved much more than he has, papac should stay, broadfoot should go :L

Papac is a great player the only one standing from the poul Le guen era

I wouldnt mind these leavin as long as we kept cover for injuries but not papac as he is still a quality player and i havnt seen kerkar play

Healy to leeds or preston

Im always dubious when something like this pops up from nowhere and it seems to me that when the times come for all the players to move on where ever they go it will happen as and when they or rangers decide to do it..why bother with this kind of speculation its very non productive.

Fleck should go now with a good sell on deal,just not done it

Agree healy,weir, kerkar,
loan for fleck,
do not forget jelly 8 mill wil see him being
sold. mcleish back for davis 4.5 mill
will also see him being sold,big eck would liker a double deal that involves naisy,gers get 7mill plus cuellar.

Think you're more or less correct with the exception of Weir and Papac.

No you cant get rid of big Sasa he is so underrated, i have alot of respect for him no frills, however you very rarely see papac gettin ripped and if he does he normally recovers, Mr reliable 90- 95% of the time. Fleck on the other hand can leave whenever he likes got absolutely no time for him, has not done enough and you can only be a young prospect for so long before you have to make the step up, he is not good enough.

If we get rid of these players then that would probably get about 1million a year off the wage bill. I would keep Sasa Papac till at least the end of the season, the guy is brilliant.

Sasa wont go as he will retire at the end of the season due to his head problems

Hnk people should get off flecks back.Look what we did to Charlie Adam we gave him a hard time as a youngster and once he left he flourished. Give him a loan deal and let him prove himself.the others can all leave apart from weir should be offered a coaching role and papac should get a years xtension

Weir wants first team football (he's said that numerous times) and he's not going to get it at Rangers. Goian and Bocanegra are doing very well and Rangers have Perry and Bartley who can provide cover.

Also, Sasa Papac's contract runs out next summer so unless he's sold in January he'll walk for free. Wallace has been brought in as Papac's replacement. IF money is put on the table then Papac will leave in January, if not, he'll see out the season.

Papac can leave for nothing he only signed 1 year deal its all utter bull

Whites cutting your wage bill by 10 million.

10 players on 20,000 pw = 10.4 million per year give or take.

7 players on 25k a week = 9 million give or take.

Proberly looking about 5-7 players going if he's cutting it by 10 million ?

Wonder what man city's wage bill is a year lol.

Lenny

Rangers wage bill is around 14-17 million a year so cutting it by 10 million would not be possible to keep the same level of players.

I Don't think 10 million is a realistic amount to cut. Craig Whyte is not daft. Think your dreaming again Lenny!. lol. I would say 2-3million cut from the yearly wage bill.

Lenny what u think Celtic's wage bill is considering you have about 30 journeymen on ur books??. u gotta laugh

Was thinking that when I wrote that post celtics wage bill must be through the roof ! And I'll be honest... We have nothing to show for it ?

Cutting it by 10 mill is whites words not mine, once he said it makes u think he will punt players like hot cakes?

Lenny

Do u have a link to the interview to shows he will cut the wage bill by 10 million?. Not that i don't trust you lenny!. lol

Was on the stv app a while back think a few rangers fans spoke about it, because when u saw it 1st thing a thought was gesso ours must be through the roof lol

Lenny

Whyte said he would like to cut the wage bill by cira £7m and he gave no time frame as to when this would be implemented, if at all. If it isimplemented it will be done slowly there will be no firesale.

Whyte commented that the club should be able to turn over a profit each year without having to rely on European Football which is a fair point.

gers in swoop for swede

rangers are set to sign giant Swedish hitman Joe sisse the 6ft 4in striker has hit 8 goals in 29 games for halmstad who have just been relegated from the Swedish top division sise who was born in Sweden but holds dual Gambian nationality is a cult hero in his homeland since he can also play as a winger his contract is up and rangers will be able to snap him up now for a compensation fee of around 350.ooo thousand pound the Swedish season ended yesterday he will jet into into training at Murray park this week

halmstad president goan johnnson said rangers have watched him play and there have been discussions he will defenetley be leaving now the Swedish season has ended there was interesting in Joe sisse from danish club nordsjaelland during the season but we couldn't agree a fee his form has been up and down this season but he has had a knee injury however he is fit again now sise said yesterday you have to talk to my agent about any move its good am attracting interest from clubs i will be leaving halmstad and it is important for me to choose the right club

Story was in yesterday's Sunday Post. All the redtops today reporting he's coming on trial

Knee Injury? Not again......

Why don't you's trying and sign the Other Bangura the 1 we were ment to sign. Good god lennon had the option on OConnor and McFadden only to sign that CLOWN. anyways you's dont need anybody else Give us a chance

16keano

Although he has his issues i think there will be a few club's in for Garry O'connor. I would like to see him at Ibrox.

16 Keano i am liking your post, good that you see the funny side of things and thats a good attitude but we aint out of sight yet we could easily have a couple of bad results and yous could be right back in, i hope not obviously. cheers
