hellbhoy Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 That can't be right. His profile only has two gold stars, surely it should be 5? Did you rate his profile reducing it to one gold star . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edi1011 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 thats cute. 2 days old and he wants to be a bear. The nappy may have been a fair bit soiled going into extra time against brechin tho IIRC he shit his breeks when he cried his eyes out because he got beaten up by some nasty Dundee Utd fans when travelling back on his own on a train to Perth or somewhere in deeper Fife, when he was younger (about 13-14yo). Amazingly, after pouring his heart out telling all who would listen, the stupid c**t stated that 'All he could remember was that they won 1-0'. Another gaffe by Five Stars 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another gaffe by Five Stars In all fairness, he can't remember what those stars are for, isn't really sure which Portuguese teams are more successful than the "most successful club", struggles with comprehension of official UEFA communications, and most worryingly appears to have lost all touch with currant affairs - he doesn't seem to have noticed the shitstorm which erupted over ibrox a couple of years ago, as he's "just a fitba fan, just payin' to watch fitba'". Must have been a cúnt of a head injury, that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Are there many Rangers players with contracts ending now or June, or is this going to require selling players or getting them to agree to being released or taking pay-cuts?

Fotbawmad Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I thought we were supposed to see a conveyor belt of players leaving Ibrox this month. I assume many of them are locked into contracts which increase as they move up each tier. The problem is they have very few players that most clubs who are able to match or exceed their current wages would want. There is absolutely no incentive for a player like Cribari to leave. This is something I'm certain those with the master plan miscalculated. Only way out is to either offer them settlements, or to use an insolvency event to get rid of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming we'll see them losing their best players, Wallace and Law for example. The Championship isn't going to be the stroll in the park that the fans have been anticipating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DA Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 If anyone has the time, they can go through the players listed on this site http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/spieler/vertragsende/basics_SC3_2014.html and work out which of Rangers' contracts are coming to an end. You may need to look at the individual players' profiles as it doesn't seem to list the contract end dates on the team list pages. The following players all have contracts ending in 2014 and all on 30.06 - Cribari, Simonsen, Hutton, Mitchell, Wiktorski and Smith. No mention of any ending this month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 According to one report, http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/25736543, Rangers' playing staff wage bill runs at between £6 and £7 million per season. In the second division. With precisely one really good player (Wallace), one decent player (Bell) and one player who used to be good but they can't afford to play him (Templeton), along with 33 nonentities. That's utterly insane. And yet, ironically, as predictable as the sun rise. At some stage the realisation has to hit home that Rangers FC (in whatever guise you wish to call it) is no longer sustainable. Of course, the fans are more interested in the fact that Victor Valdes "thinks" the atmosphere at Ibrox was better than Celtic Park. 24 pence a share seems a bit of a rip off to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 And who could forget this pearler. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/craig-whyte-profile-the-scots-billionaire-1076110 "Motherwell Born Billionaire". My favourite line in that is about Dave King failing to meet Murray's asking price. Did Murray not sell the club to Whyte for £1? King couldn't afford a bid of £1? Or was Keith Jackson writing what Murray/Whyte told him to write? Hmm.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The following players all have contracts ending in 2014 and all on 30.06 - Cribari, Simonsen, Hutton, Mitchell, Wiktorski and Smith. No mention of any ending this month. Everybody seems to be fixating on the players' wages, and admittedly they're a big chunk of the problem. Look at some of the other people drawing a wage from ibrox, though. How big is their coaching staff? Is there any club in Scotland paying anything like the money bruited about as salaries for the likes of Stewart and Durrant? Is there any sign of McCoist - one of the few whose salary is well known - actually doing anything about reducing that amount, rather than issuing soundbites to excuse his inaction on the matter? We've all enjoyed watching the IPO and ST(X2) money seeping away, but player wages only appear to count for a small proportion of what's been spent. One of the board (I think) said that the current finances were unsustainable "even in the top flight" - yet they keep on spending, the fans keep on demanding a side which will compete if and when they get to the top flight - and the pay-offs and golden goodbyes keep mounting up, as do the bills for m'Learned Friends. Sure, they're funny - but how fucking mental have you got to be to see this mob as anything other than a financial basket-case? I'm no expert, but the share price really doesn't tell me a story of a business on the road to riches - even given start-up financing and facilities that most concerns would have killed for. The best hope I've heard for their future is "wait until Dave King comes in". Scarecrows having a w**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenockRover Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 ....and so... the much heralded, but as yet ignored, belt tightening at the most blatantly corpulent club in Scotland, finally, shows signs of beginning. About fucking time. Maybe that's why Sally played in that charity match...get his match fitness back for his appearance in The Ramsdens Cup Final. :-D -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Twas a ploy to make it easier for him to postpone inconvenient fixtures. Or something. That certainly makes more sense than getting him for his footballing skills. They might consider ringing ITV and seeing if "Splash!" has any room for another contestant, mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
