Is there ANY other club in the world where the fans have this mentality?
In all seriousness, I think it's a fair point. How can a player, or a lower agent have the upper hand in these negotiations against serious business men? We are Rangers, these players would have jumped at the chance to join us simply to play in front of so many fans in such a great stadium, enjoying world class services.
Barcelona - "Ah, Lionel, given that we're so good and that our services are world class (we've got wifi, ye know), we expect you to be suitably humble and to prostrate yourself before us. And would you mind doing that for £25 a week and a burger?"
RM - "Christiano, I believe Messi's taking one for the team. Any chance you could do the same?"
