To clear things up, Rangers do not have a clause that they need 2 by Olson. That's not true. If this was true, say he broke his leg last game of the season. We would need to pay 8 million pounds.
05 Apr 2026 18:43:04
There is a break clause protecting us against serious injury.
I said whilst the deal was in its infancy.
Rangers wanted protection, Wolfsburg wanted an obligation.
In negotiations, you need to find a compromise.
05 Apr 2026 18:51:22
That's lucky. What about CL, is that covered as well? Seems strange, there's more chance you do your CL than break your leg. But that doesn't matter as we don't have a clause 2 sign him so won't lose out money.
05 Apr 2026 18:57:10
Penny cheers, can u let Fraser
know,
Penny, I suspect Aphe has described the injury scenario well.
05 Apr 2026 18:58:22
Well, I have been consistent about this deal from day 1.
What username were you before? You say you're not new.
05 Apr 2026 19:05:23
Your information is very similar to my own, John.
05 Apr 2026 19:17:01
It's only you and John that somehow are the only 2 people in the full of the UK. Not one news site, not one person on any of the Rangers sites, i.e. Rangers View, etc. Aphelion, what was your old name, because there was no one on it called that. π€ At the time I left.
05 Apr 2026 19:23:11
You know my name as does everyone on the site.
05 Apr 2026 19:28:13
It's only John in the UK.
05 Apr 2026 19:36:53
You know where I live, as you have already said, I am lucky to live in Scandinavia.
There has only been 1 person from that region on this site, to my knowledge, in the last 7 years since I joined.
Surely basic intuition gives you the answer you seek.
05 Apr 2026 19:39:10
Penny, I'll cut back on the posts till 40/50 post so you r happy.
05 Apr 2026 19:42:35
Sorry, yes, you're right, only John in the UK, thanks for pointing that out, and you from Norway, are they only ones that this has leaked 2. Surely yous shouldn't be telling people on here about any deals? What's 2 stop me going into the bookies and place a bet that Rangers will sign Olson.
π€ π You said you couldn't talk about RM going 2 your club, but can talk about secrets coming out of Ibrox.
05 Apr 2026 19:45:26
Haha. Dad's Army just came into my head.
German soldier - Vot is your name.
British officer - Don't tell him Pike. π€£π€£
05 Apr 2026 19:47:49
You're at it, Pennyburn. Everyone knows who Aphelion was for a long time, and you obviously don't pay attention, as he was on long before that. Oh, and when you left, search the posts, you will find him.
05 Apr 2026 19:47:59
No secrets, Pennyburn. Details were revealed by media sources at the time.
05 Apr 2026 19:49:07
Penny, correct, here ended the rumours till the window closes. Sorry I upset u.
05 Apr 2026 19:50:56
And a new you were from Scandinavian, because you mentioned couple weeks ago your league was stating back. You keep trying 2 discredit me, trying catch me out. If you don't want to tell me your name, that's kl no drama.
05 Apr 2026 19:56:35
A was wondering how long it would take you fork. Everyone knows who he well a don't, sorry 2 burst your bubble. If left at start of the season and only recently came back, how would I know his name? Do people still call him by his old name??? So how would I know.
05 Apr 2026 19:58:42
Media source, what paper or site? That's something we can check, and if I'm wrong I'll say sorry over and over to you and never make q comment again towards your knowledge.
05 Apr 2026 19:59:05
Thank you, Fork. Everyone knows who I am, Penny.
The same cannot be said about you.
05 Apr 2026 20:02:58
Florian Plettenburg (Sky Germany).
He revealed the option as a protection against injury.
He also revealed that Wolfsburg wanted an obligation to buy.
05 Apr 2026 20:05:57
Aph/John, based on what I've seen so far, I don't think the player is worthy of a move or he particularly wants a move to us. I hope he goes and proves me wrong because I thought he was a great signing at the time.
05 Apr 2026 20:09:33
Wolfsburg wanted one, does that mean they got it? I'll go check out that name, thanks for giving me the chance.
05 Apr 2026 20:17:13
Hi Aphelion, a Did as you said went had q look on his Twitter page says Rangers have a option to buy. Not once does it say we have 2 because off a cluse. A posted it on sightings in case anyone doubts me. Screen shot. Hope this will put a end to this. We must pay. π
05 Apr 2026 20:28:49
And, John, you haven't annoyed me one bit. I just find it strange you couldn't tell this page who was out injured, because Dr never mentioned it, but you can talk about players' clause in their loan deals. I can't remember Dr coming out and saying this about Olson, so how come you can talk about that and not an injured player. π€
05 Apr 2026 20:43:12
Honestly guys, why engage with these guys, it's not worth the time or effort.
05 Apr 2026 20:46:33
Penny, bring something to the table then?
05 Apr 2026 20:49:34
Gees, we all love a pile on. When I was over at Ibrox, and having a chat with Bomber, he informed me of a few things (that will not be disclosed), but he did not tell me catering had run out of pies.
I was raging lol. Hope you get where that is going!
And am sure John's words were along the lines of "If dr is saying nothing, then so am I", a bit different from what you are saying.
05 Apr 2026 20:52:10
With regards to Olsen, our head coach and his backroom team will know if there is a good player there and if our team benefits his attributes.
05 Apr 2026 20:57:17
I asked for my post to be deleted in reply to him. Guys like that do my box in Dado/Borna. It's probably for the best. It wasn't nice.
05 Apr 2026 21:07:44
I thought it was only option to buy, but some stating possible obligation without injury if I'm correct in reading, and if so, wasted money.
05 Apr 2026 21:30:38
I hope we don't have any obligation to buy Olson as he is rank rotten. π«‘
05 Apr 2026 21:33:15
Penny, why don't you tell people who u were.
05 Apr 2026 21:34:08
I never backed the point you queried. I answered your question on where to find who Aphelion was previously, so wrong again. You really should read the posts you get answers to your question. Oh, and as anyone will tell you, I walk my own path, so wrong on that too, but carry on.
05 Apr 2026 21:38:26
Regardless of any of this tit-for-tat nonsense, if we look at the bare facts, Wolfsburg are keen to get Olsen off their books.
To quote Alex Ferguson, paraphrasing somewhat, "it was alarm bells when I didn't have to fight to sign a player."
If Olsen was being quoted for half of the Β£8m based on current form I'd be very reluctant still.
Come on, Aphe. Let's be honest, we know you're an Olsen fan, but if you're a Rangers fan first, then this signing is not promising.
05 Apr 2026 21:41:28
Banned user, perhaps John?
05 Apr 2026 21:44:35
I would be just silly if it was obligation, never played for a while, missed around 40 games through injury the last few seasons, hardly kicked a ball, looked like we just wasn't interested yesterday, just happy picking up his wage? Well it's beginning to look like it, off form, low in confidence, fine, but work and fight for your teammates, he couldn't be arsed yesterday.
05 Apr 2026 21:46:56
Penny, you seem to be rambling. The basis is we have an option to buy, which I've also heard will be an obligation if certain targets are met, and the only real protection is long term injury. Something you try to argue as a specific injury to discredit Aphe.
05 Apr 2026 21:52:21
Penny, I'm not a betting man but I wouldn't guess you'd get great odds on Rangers signing Olsen in the summer. π
05 Apr 2026 21:53:46
Onewalter, nowhere do I say I want Rangers to sign Olsen, he needs to show much more. I'd prefer another loan, see if he adapts.
05 Apr 2026 22:13:45
Why u asking me, as I never responded to your line of questioning to John or Aphe. I clarified to you where to find who Aphe was, as you asked the question. Nothing hard to answer when I wasn't interested in your point scoring attempt against John/Aphe while continuing to hide who you are, you're being deliberately obtuse to cause friction, nothing more.
05 Apr 2026 20:15:16
OK penny, u ask who he was, as Aphelion wasn't on when u left, I told u to search the posts at that time, you will find who he was previously, so no bubbles burst here, you asked the question I answered it, not my fault you choose to be obtuse, yet u hide who you were and have a go at Aphe, hypocritical and pathetic, your not worth the effort. Try reading what u ask before trying to be a smart ass.
I actually thought you were new, but your not and others have seen it also, but you wouldn't notice as you don't pay attention, only here to cause friction and spout vitriol. Sad really.
05 Apr 2026 20:36:30
Aww give it a rest penny. This whole topic you've created is just boring drivel. I reckon you're that user 'ScottW" he liked to start arguments, almost exactly the way you're doing it.
05 Apr 2026 22:43:28
Thanks, Fork. I mean it when I say I appreciate it.
Ayrshire, thanks.
I don't know what more I could do.
He clearly just didn't like the fact I had an answer for every single one of his questions.
05 Apr 2026 21:04:20
Pennyburn is clearly just out to start something, his past username must have been 'ScottW'.
{Ed033's Note - Unsure about ScottW, but a username who had a bone to pick with Aphelion.
05 Apr 2026 22:50:17
Not necessary, Aphelion. π
05 Apr 2026 22:54:44
It is necessary, my friend.
He is not the first so called new poster to attempt to push me to leave the forum.
Well, guys, I am in a much better headspace now so I am here to stay.
You will run out of usernames before I go.
05 Apr 2026 21:44:36
Who is this Pennyburn?, John and Aphelion are probably among the best posters on the site.
05 Apr 2026 22:55:52
Im still shocked at what I see from Skov, nowhere near player I seen in Denmark or Belgium.
05 Apr 2026 22:56:46
Looks like a player that's given up, avoiding injury and taking a paycheck, no desire like there was before.
05 Apr 2026 22:54:54
Cheers Ed appreciated, deliberately inveigled himself with the Icelandic swimmer post, then set out to cause bother imo. I apologise to your gd self if I was over the top.
{Ed033's Note - No problem.
05 Apr 2026 23:03:27
Agreed, blue, he was great at Brugge. π Wish he'd turn up.
05 Apr 2026 22:58:19
Geez, Don't know about anyone else but I'm really struggling to understand many of these posts. To me, they don't make sense and I don't mean the views or challenges, I mean the sentences don't make sense, perhaps a few sherbets have been consumed ;-)? Also I've stayed off the site after the Jan window closed as was getting fed up by the constant sniping and grief that likes of Aphe was getting.
Low and behold nothing has changed. Do we have ignore certain usernames yet Admin thanks?
{Ed033's Note - Lo and behold, we do have 'Ignore' usernames on the My Profile Page.
05 Apr 2026 23:17:02
Nice to see you back on Hoth.
05 Apr 2026 23:16:21
Thanks Ed033
05 Apr 2026 23:18:55
That's a good word, Fork, inveigled, I had to ask Mr Google what it meant. βοΈ
06 Apr 2026 02:00:17
John, Fraser who?
06 Apr 2026 08:02:55
Good to see you back, Both Cloudfire. How are you, my friend?
06 Apr 2026 08:22:15
Great to see u on hoth.
06 Apr 2026 09:35:00
This thread has been an excellent read.
95% of posts on here turn out to be incorrect, and some others only claim they knew something was happening after it happens.
I love this petty tit for tat nonsense. All sides have valid points.
06 Apr 2026 09:44:13
Scrambled thank you, I am in no way near one of the best posters.
No one knows who penny is because he doesn't have the courage to say.
Posts a solitary tweet in sighting to attempt to discredit me.
It does not, I would not mention a media source I was incorrect, apparently Twitter is the only form of media for this coward.
06 Apr 2026 10:26:39
WATP, it would just be really daft making it obligation, very confident it's only option, say Olsen does sign for Rangers in the summer, we'll spend next season talking about him again, but it would be a far worse situation than the Cortes deal, it would be double his fee and also double his wage.
06 Apr 2026 10:35:55
Who should we agree with and who should we not? Some are quite prickly if disagreed with, dug with a bone type thing.
Bellshill Athletic are top of the league. Send love, I know you care. ta x
06 Apr 2026 10:36:15
My Star, I wasn't talking about the Olsen thing, I mean everything in general on here.
I'm only here to read the tit for tat these days!
06 Apr 2026 10:52:24
WATP, it's tiresome, but pile-ons are not pretty. Seen it many times on here. Now we have "banned user" suggested due to disagreeing with someone.
06 Apr 2026 10:58:36
No, Biggar.
"Banned user" is suggested due to the unwillingness to share their previous username.
Surely, if not banned, that person would be willing to share that minor detail.
06 Apr 2026 11:07:12
He's a banned user and that is a fact btw, well he is now. π
06 Apr 2026 11:40:28
Fraser Cullen, I refer to our former chairman and CEO. A Mann who runs our club with exceptional leadership and integrity.
06 Apr 2026 13:12:27
Leave me out of it, flower, thanks, you disagree with me, that's fine, I'm not bothered a jot, have a nice day.
06 Apr 2026 13:47:28
Cheers, John.
06 Apr 2026 17:28:20
Thanks to White Horse and Fork. The reason I never named the injured player was simple. I was a guest at the training centre, imo, if I had that would have been a betrayal of trust.
I suspect it would have been a while, if I ever got invited back.
06 Apr 2026 17:37:23
John, you're π― correct not to name him.
It would be a betrayal of trust if u did.
You're in a lucky position to be where u can be at times, and so I totally agree with u.
I admit, at first, I didn't ageee, but I do.
Good for u for having morals mate.
06 Apr 2026 19:13:52
Quite right, John, trust disappears if you don't keep your counsel, bud, no thanks necessary, mate. ππ
