Rangers Rumours

15 Nov 2019 00:12:46
I might be over thinking here. But Dave King has mentioned about having the old co back. If this was the case Mike Ashley has no say in anything to do with Glasgow Rangers football club. And if it is the case. This is a master stroke from Mr King.

CAPITAl, JUST CAPITALl WAS MARCO, CAPITAL

Don’t quite get why Negri is in any way relevant and why you used those big words, booze maybe.

worth looking at as that tax dept has been known to settle for pennies on the dollar. they are not the same as the vat.

13 Nov 2019 23:12:21
Any truth in the rumours that HMRC over taxed rangers and sir David Murray and BDO are set to sue? The real amount wouldn't have been enough go see rangers go out of business and subsequent liquidation may never happen?

14 Nov 2019 02:39:45
the truth is HMRC never collects the full amount of taxed owed on a taxable benefit. I used to work in that department and beneficial loans were never even calculated properly by that department for most of the years I was there. its not a tax killer. their biggest win was always the tax to be collected by operating the system of payments properly.

14 Nov 2019 13:19:06
Eric blair there's always want to u who worked there 😂😂😂 shut up if there's a case for them to answer they will answer it its not as if were talkin 2 million here or there were talkin 50 damn million. Players losing wages, creditors losing revenue, most importantly we lost out on european football that season docked all those points helpin those rats win the league . Worst of all they introduced us to craig whyte and charles green.

14 Nov 2019 14:44:14
I wonder if the taxmaen responsible are season ticket holders somewhere. lol

Being the taxman of course it will never come out as they just don't talk to you, unless you owe them money, or they decide you do

tossers.

14 Nov 2019 16:37:52
Strange the BBC are completely ignoring this story, isn't it? They spent licence-payers money making that documentary based entirely on lies to suit their own agenda - thought they'd maybe want to clear that up, but the bias is clear and shameful.

15 Nov 2019 06:46:39
HMRC has posted on Twitter tonight they won the tax case and did not miscalculated the bill.

15 Nov 2019 07:38:22
HMRC are the government never forget that. The government are experts in creating thousands of sub-divisions with the aim of deflecting responsibility away from themselves. HMRC being just one.

13 Nov 2019 18:33:26
Is the latest statement that Morelos will NOT BE SOLD JANUARY a guarantee or just more meaningless talk.

13 Nov 2019 20:52:48
Who are you asking mate? Of course it’s not a guarantee, but Rangers will hold on TIL summer, only thing they need to worry about is serious injury, tell me a club in the world who guarantee and il tell you of a club that lies,

Tommy.

13 Nov 2019 21:24:14
So Tomster you are basically saying our club is lying and he could leave in January but will hang on till summer transfer window. Is that correct? .

As for who am I asking, this is a Rangers forum so would expect fellow bears to give their opinions.

13 Nov 2019 21:48:00
Every club lies, every player lies, every manager lies, every decision claimed for that you know isn’t yours is cheating, every dive is cheating, etc etc etc, politicians lie, however, this point mate; nobody from Rangers made a guarantee any guarantee, so nobody said they were lying, did they,
Ross Wilson stated I
“ categorically we want our best players to stay here as long as we can “ we’re is the guarantee in that? And were did I say he was lying SW, btw Wilson is not the chief scout nor head of recruitment, any stevie g also says he is 100% sure the striker is going nowhere, no guarantee there either, only his sureness, for all the club knows Alfie could be sitting in a hotel right now agreeing to go to Man Utd, no guarantees and nobody called our club a liar, every football club at the top level have their statements very carefully written by professionals who know how to disguise a lie, I’m sure you know that mate and I’m not trying to tell you something you probably know, but having followed Rangers for 55 yrs and related to 4 Rangers employees ( bomber being one” And having been a union officer for 20 yrs i know when a “. Statement” or interview has been coordinated by paid professionals

Hope we are brothers in blue anyway bro

Tommy.

14 Nov 2019 01:58:30
You related to Bomber, Tommy? So am I! What's the connection?

14 Nov 2019 07:49:51
Couldn’t possibly say, I’m talking about the original bomber, Colin Jackson god rest him, and as a coincidence I have met John brown many times as I was close with davie brown for a long time.

14 Nov 2019 10:05:41
So you say "every" club is a liar Tomster (are we not a club? ) .

Anyhow Hope Buff stayes in January.

Cheers mate.

15 Nov 2019 09:18:39
Sorry mate, I don’t have a clue what your talking about, can you explain? Not a club, your reply doesn’t make sense.

15 Nov 2019 16:28:36
Did you not know every are prone to putting stories out pal? That’s a new one,

12 Nov 2019 09:33:01
Talk of docherty moving on in January. The guy has clearly not made the grade ( never thought he would) these rangers FB pages are mad. Guys sayin we should accept no less than 5 million for him. He cannot get near the team and is like 7th choice mid. Half a mill or so and he will be off to a bottom half championship side. Also seen this morning if kamara moves on they may move for ferguson.

12 Nov 2019 09:42:19
Wish docherty all the best. He has played for the club he loves. But unfortunately o where near standard required.

12 Nov 2019 10:12:30
A superb move if Docherty goes to the championship , just look at John Fleck .

12 Nov 2019 10:36:21
Agreed wish Docherty all the best if he moves. Kamara on the other hand why he would want to go to the championship with Leeds when he can be competing for leagues and cups also playing in Europe with us is beyond me. Unless it's all about chasing cash he would be better staying put.

12 Nov 2019 12:16:45
Bit harsh on Docherty in here - he's never been given a sustained chance, and yet had better stats last season than Aribo (who I guess IS good enough? ) for a worse team in the same division. I don't think he's not good enough, I think he's just not one Gerrard likes. It happens - there are players the manager just never takes to, and I think Docherty is one of them.

12 Nov 2019 13:37:36
I think he has the potential and engine to get into the team some day.

But its not fair to keep him here as he needs game time in order to develop.

He needs to go but I'd have a decent sell on clause in any deal.

12 Nov 2019 14:06:43
This post is a bit unfair on Doherty tbh. His situation is basically down to SG's realisation (like many before him), that the Glasgow gold fish bowl is no place to nurture and develop players. Every game is a must win and therefore the manager can't afford to take chances on untested players.

he also has a lot of experience and quality on the bench, players like Defoe. Therefore even when we are comfortably beating teams, these players get their minutes topped up to keep them sharp.

I think like most young players at Rangers (unless they are exceptional), they will need to cut their teeth by going out on loan. Hopefully he can do that in January and come back ready to stake a claim in the future.

If he doesn't succeed then everyone will wish him well but I wouldn't say he isn't good enough because he hasn't had a chance yet.

12 Nov 2019 14:45:25
It’s a shame young Doc can’t get a chance. he's unlucky that our midfield is so strong but I don’t think the boy Ferguson is that much of an upgrade on him.

12 Nov 2019 15:12:49
Just my opinion guys. When he originally signed never thot he would cut it. what is he 23 or 24? By now if he was going to be in the plans he would be by now. Better personally for him to move on and play regular football.

12 Nov 2019 15:21:16
@zikos I get your logic but he's 22 and basically the same age as Ryan Kent, Sheyi Ojo and Joe Aribo (just turned 23) who Stevie's quite happy to select?

Not sure that's the reason at all.

12 Nov 2019 16:23:03
Not overly keen to sell but if we do then I'd expect a mil for him if we have a decent contract on him. I think what he needs is games.
Is he good enough for us? good question and I think he may be in time, but maybe not in the style SG needs at moment.
A mil to a champ side isn't much.

12 Nov 2019 17:27:14
He's not any better than what we already have and if we want to improve then we need need better than what we have. At his age he should be knocking on the door and challenging which he isn't, sadly I think this is down to the fact that he just isn't good enough. Wish him all the best. 👍.

12 Nov 2019 18:13:58
Tend to agree cold, re Docherty, I feel same will happen to Ross McCrorie.

12 Nov 2019 18:58:59
Yea young Docherty cost us just over half a mill we need to getting near that back mcrorrie season is not going as well as he would like you imagine any fee would be minimal.

12 Nov 2019 19:54:31
@rfcrb I don’t think it’s a fair comparison tbh. Doherty is competing with experienced internationals for a starting place. When Kent was brought in last year he didn’t have any competition for a starting place and therefore played every week even when off form. That could have been due to lack of competition or a clause in the loan deal that said he had to play x amount of games.

And the same could be said if Ojo. Personally like the boy but don’t think he is good enough to get a game atm. If he was a Rangers player and didn’t have any playing clauses I don’t think he would be near the squad.

I think given a sustained chance the boy would come good. You only have to look at Barry Ferguson who was extremely close to leaving before Advocaat arrived and game him his chance as an example of how fortunes in football can change so quickly.

12 Nov 2019 20:36:51
Mac bow, Leeds rumour 3 million.

12 Nov 2019 23:05:30
Like many others before him, Docherty has found the final step up too high. He's a decent player who will make a good living at the game, but not here. I also believe he will be better than 'lower half championship' and I wish him well.

12 Nov 2019 23:25:09
Looks likely john👍.

12 Nov 2019 23:26:58
Docherty could be anything hard to judge not had a run of games to judge him just the odd sub appearance few months back.

12 Nov 2019 23:28:46
so if kamara goes wouldn't Docherty be back up.

13 Nov 2019 05:26:09
Eric if kamara went he would still then be 6th choice. And then back to 7th if rumours are true about lewis ferguson coming in for kamara.

13 Nov 2019 06:58:03
Did Excellent last year out on loan in league one . Played in the same league as Aribo and had better stats playing for a worse side. I personally think the wee man has something about him but for some reason SG just doesn’t like him, could be a personality thing .
What’s he worth the now? Maybe 1M? I think loan him out again to a championship club and if he stands out like he did last year in league1 then you could be asking for 5mill in the summer .
Or loan him to the sheep for 6months as part of a deal for Lewis Ferguson maybe then Aberdeen will at least have a player that will try against the manky mob.

13 Nov 2019 14:41:24
Am I the only few that wants Docherty to stay? If we get around 2m for him then fine (it's what he is worth) Maybe some day he will return and prove a point!

13 Nov 2019 20:07:40
Docherty and Aribo are not good enough! Although Aribo is the more skilful of the two.

13 Nov 2019 21:26:33
It’s strange someone posted that the “ Glasgow goldfish bowl is nowhere to play youth, well selling have been doing that for years, have they not

Tommy.

14 Nov 2019 12:19:56
I'd probs be wanting somewhere in the region of 1m for Docherty even if he isn't in the picture. Or a smaller fee with a large sell on.

16 Nov 2019 15:27:21
@daisy yore:

the 'final step up'?! - he's playing in the same division we signed him from, the SPL! Did great in this division for Hamilton, that's why we signed him. He has absolutely never been given a chance to actually show if he's good enough for Rangers or not, not under this manager.

It's ridiculous to criticise his ability when he's made next to no starts under Gerrard.
