Rangers hit with player legal bill
4 April 2013 Updated 20:19

Rangers are facing a legal bill after a panel judged they should pay the expenses of five former players they were in contract disputes with.
Sone Aluko, Kyle Lafferty, Steven Naismith, Jamie Ness and Allan McGregor all quit the club when it was placed into liquidation last year.
The players refused to transfer their contracts from the old company to the new one, which the club challenged.
The panel says Rangers should pay all legal bills relating to the dispute.
The panel was established and facilitated under the Scottish Football Association's Articles of Association after agreement was reached by the club and the players over who should represent each side of the dispute, with a chair appointed to review both side's claims.
However, the SFA is not directly involved in the arbitration process and has no influence over any decisions taken by the panel.

Then there's the Nimmo smith £500k and also Sandaza.

then in time these cases are ajudged and sudddenly a flurry of £100k bills land on gers and from £22million in back, to £17million,,,. to 0 in just few months

same old pattern from many floatations with green.

Ed been reading the sun this morning and now it seem's craig whyte is claiming he still own's rangers what is this guy playing at just when we think we are getting back on the straight and narrow then more details come out when is this mess ever going to end. {The Ed039's Note - You guys really do make me laugh, if we all believed everything that was printed in the s*n, and if we all believed everything Craig Shyte said then the world be a very different place from what it is today. The only good thing about The S*n is page 3)

Agree0 Disagree1

What is going on at Ibrox. I've heard that the Orlit bill is still not settled and that solicitors have been instructed to recover the debt. The punting of Sandaza is a cost saving measure and this also might end up in court. Add in the bills being sought by the SPL and SFA to the Orlit debt and it's over £1m.

I came on here a while back and was slated by one individual because I had the audacity to describe Charles Green as "Our so called Saviour" At the time there was no malice in my description of the man, just that my team had been burned before, and now this guy, who remember, was just through the door, had come in promising the World! Alarm bells should have been ringing straight away, but unfortunately there were those, and plenty of them, who greeted him as some sort of messiah storming in to pull our club from the burning ashes and destroy all who tried to bring our once mighty club to its knees! Remind you of anyone? Yes, even though we had been duped before by one almighty chancer, here we were again, open and willing to embrace another so called "Colorful Character". I remember clearly, all of those Rangers fans praising CW, preaching his word, and believing in his "Master Plan". I remember nearly getting into a fight at work with a colleague because I said that CW was an person hell bent on killing our club. For God sake, if people can get sucked in by the blithering person who is Craig Whyte, then just think what anyone else could do! Guys, our club is still in one almighty mess! We are hemorrhaging money, there is infighting, players have no discipline or regard for authority, the football is terrible, the management team don't seem to know what they are doing, and Charles Green is coming out with the most bizarre statements on a regular basis. When is this going to end, when is it going to be about the football? Can anyone out there really give assurances that we will get through this, and how?

rangers are just a soap-opera nowadays, would say that I don't trust (or rate) anyone that is in a postion of power at the club.

There's very little good news, quite a bit of bad news, and so much spin/crap/speculation it's unreal.

I walked out on my supporters club agm at the start of the season as the punters were just ready to accept mr greens promises with blind faith.

I have geniune worries about were it's all going if I'm being honest.

Agree2 Disagree0

Real issue is whyte raises this before share floatation and Green&Co don't mention it in list to risks to business?

shocking. green now says in sun. oh we got a letter and did not think it applied. hello! please give me £50million

same happened in , where eduardo lost 30% of company over night, and now owns £2billion in stock.

D&P sold to Rangers and green then transfered major assets (ibrox/murraypark) to RangersScotland. but was that legal!

Suddenly the ibrox deeds comes to front.

Agree0 Disagree0

Whoever took over Rangers had the rather unenviable task of introducing the fans to something they had never encountered at the club, it is called economic reality.

CG is understandably shy about announcing sub standard players for high ticket prices, but this is in effect the only way Rangers can get back in the SPL. The fixed operating costs dictate the policy and the fans must support the club DESPITE the poor quality football.

So it is another two years of sub-standard football at a high price, and the fans must accept they will never see a quality team built around high wages again.

It will take Rangers countless years to recover the advantage they handed to Celtic, and that alone will frustrate the fans.

But what can you do, there is no plan " B ", if it wasn't CG it would be some other businessman doing the exact same thing.

Rangers will fail again under CG if the fans stay away, and in this event CG is entitled to protect his investors and the assets.

Think of it this way, the Celtic fans also got screwed to save their club, and now its your turn.

Agree1 Disagree1

I came on this site a year ago warning about Green`s integrity and was slated as not being " one of us " My reasoning was simple. Green is a VENTURE CAPITALIST. Whyte is a VENTURE CAPITALIST What they also had in common was neither was a fan of Rangers. Stevie Wonder could see what they were up to IE What venture capitalist do best - ASSET STRIPPING! It is now all coming out in the wash! Will both of them be fighting in court for the benefit of Rangers? No they bloody well won`t. They will be fighting for their OWN SELF INTEREST. Major trouble ahead!

Agree3 Disagree0

Does it really matter what CG promised CW to get his hands on Rangers?

Let the two of them fight it out.

Agree0 Disagree1

All we need now is the return of Brian Kennedy and The Blue Knights.

"Does it really matter what CG promised CW to get his hands on Rangers?".

good question, answer as ceo of rfc green will use fans st money to fight legal issue, not invest in team!

Agree0 Disagree0

Reducing wages to cut costs is not investing in the team.

Agree0 Disagree0

Celtic fan's screwed? How do you make that out, your living in cuckoo land
Tam

Agree0 Disagree0

Tam, how much are your shares worth?

Agree0 Disagree0

I am sure Tam's shares are worth more than the ones that people bought in Rangers!
I am a Celtic man and while I have enjoyed you lot being hauled over the coals I am now getting sick of listening to Whyte and Green. Neither of these men can be trusted, they are both very good at saying what the fans want to hear but they are then very economical with the actions to back it up. I am sure Ally was promised £10million from CG from the share issue, now, the club are losing money at an alarming rate of knots so where does the £10m come from. A previous poster highlighted the Venture Capitalist side of things, their only job is to buy low, do some work to make the asset appear profitable or investable with high projection figures and then sell on at a very good profit. I think Rangers have got many years of hardship to come and potentially may never get back to where they were a few years ago, my basis for this is, the club is not a financially viable business, so you are losing more than making, this means you need to sell your assets to survive, best assets used to be players but not any more unless you can produce some good young ones before Murray Park is sold. One other thing, has anyone noticed that the media are now calling it Auchenhowie now and not Murray Park.

Agree0 Disagree0

Celtic shares being worth more than Rangers shares does not dispute the fact that Celtic fans got screwed.

However I do agree the road to recovery will be very slow given the marginal nature of the business model, the only way forward is low wages, poor quality and high season ticket prices, the very same tactic employed by your saviour FM.

And he was slated by every Celtic fan on the planet for his cost cutting.

What I find astonishing is how many so called Rangers fans come on here and say Sandaza was a flop. I have news for you all, THE WHOLE TEAM HAVE BEEN FLOPS. Very easy to blame a well paid striker for his lack of goals when he has been out injured for the best part of the season, has had pathetic service from a pathetic uncreative midfield and who like 99% of all footballers would move in a heart beat for an increase in wages. He is a proven striker at a higher level than the third division, so I don't think so much that he was a flop I think it is the team that are mince.

Believable95 Unbelievable38

Pathetic service?

how come lee mcculloch has scored 25 goals (who hasn't even played up front all season and has also missed several games with injury AND Andy Little he missed 6 weeks with injury, been played out on the right for the large majority and scored 25 goals)

Sandaza is rotten, we were absolute mugs giving him such a generous contract, one he will not recieve elsewhere

Agree4 Disagree1

Yes he maybe was but he is playing for rangers

ok he got a bad injury but

but it does matter he scored 2 goals in 16 games face it he's a flop

I mean in 2011 fillip sebo remember him he went back to Slovakia and scored 25 goals in 29 games


im sick to death of double standards of rangers fans

sebo was one of the worst players I've ever seen in a rangers jersey.

he worked hard/tried hard, but then so would I and I'm not a professional football player.

Austria Vienna must still chuckle to themselves about how they managed to get 1.8 million for him.

Agree0 Disagree1

Worst post on the site, whither he should have been sacked or not is up for debate but how he can be seen as anything other than a flop cannot be surely. 2 goals as the main striker is abysmal.

Agree1 Disagree0

Hole team have not been flops yes majority of team has but mcculoch little McLeod before injury Wallace and Templeton have done well

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Apr 2013 20:21:28
sebo wasnt a bad player he worked hard and done the team proud just was struggling with confidence in front of goal to even put him in the same sentance as sandaza whos effort was non exsistant is an just plain and simple wrong

Agree1 Disagree0

Of course he was a flop, 2 goals, spent most of games on wing hiding, had a terrible touch, took to many touches when he had the ball, as bad a rangers striker as I have ever seen. Least Ostenstad and Beattie and co played in top league, he is playing against people on £50 a game and still not looked up to that level.

Agree0 Disagree0

I wonder if Sandaza would have gone for his 'indiscretion' if he had been banging the goals in. I doubt it - was a good opportunity to get him off the wage bill.

As for Sebo back in 2006 - running about like a headless chicken does not make you a striker. Only slo-mo man Oleg Salenko was worse

Rangers have opened pre-contract talks with 29 year old Michael Barrantes, a midfielder who plays for Norweigan side Aalesund. He is also an international for Costa Rica - page, so most likely bull****, looks decent anyway but a 29 year old isn't ideal for me.

also tracking a panama international anibal godoy 23 year old holding midfeilder type - the daily celtic

Winning whatever league we are in next year is the only thing that matters. We will not do it with the current squad. 1 or 2 year deals for these guys to get us back to the top flight nothing else matters.

Agree1 Disagree0

There are good enough players in the 3 divisions above us. Why are we bothering with foreign nonentities?
Have no lessons been learned?

Agree2 Disagree0

Why don't we target players who are tried and trusted in Scottish Football.

Agree1 Disagree0

04 Apr 2013 18:44:04
History shows that South & Central Americans are high risk. Why not British players.

Agree0 Disagree0

Tried and trusted in Scottish football you mean Like Ian Black

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Apr 2013 20:55:31
what I really don't understand is your wanting players in u can sell on and over the 3 divisions above us thers not much free agents who we will ba able to sell on of who and talented enough so I can see why were are looking else where cheap players who we can make profit from in the future
