BobWilliamson Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Just now, Dindeleux said: As I said a couple of days ago the Alves signing feels a bit Senderos'y. More money you spend the quicker the new club follows the old one down the pan right enough so it's good with me. Senderos was a panic buy in the closing days of a transfer window after Warburton had chased Lescott who had dodgy knees for weeks. I believe Lescott broke down during the season with knee problems. Bruno Alves has been picked out from day 1 as Rangers No.1 target and we got him. He is still included in the Portugal National Squad and is a huge improvement on any thing we have at Ibrox at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was Rangers wage bill for last season? Players have left. I would think Alves is more or less a straight replacement for Hill. As much as i liked the Big Man i think we can all agree that Alves is a far superior player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant scamming from them. You always had to pay a small fee to join the travel club. It wont be long until Rangers and Celtic start charging non season ticket holding supporters to buy match tickets as they do at many top English clubs. TBH i am surprised they haven't done this already 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for a poster with Celtic as their chosen team if you want an answer on Rangers finances True. Last Summer, before you signed the likes of Barton, it was reported to be ~£7/8m. Just pluck a guess its now £9m, based on the likes of Krancjar still hanging about. Thats £2m to spend on fees, including agents fees. Can you see now, why people are suggesting its not financially viable to making multiple ~£1m moves for players? You made a loss last season, and by all accounts are dependent on ticket sales to keep going. Its suicide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Two players out, two players in on free transfers and p and B goes into full Sevco mode. If money is being spent then its logical to assume that the board have planned their finances, cut out the hysteria until it becomes clearer. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrik's tongue Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Any way, you can sign 11 new players - so called big names or not - and you'll still have Pedro. The guy who played Celtic twice in the space of six days and learned not a jot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joined a team got a 1-1 draw at Celtic park and turned them into a team that got annihilated at home. 5-1 and they got off lightly.

CityDave Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 1 hour ago, BobWilliamson said: Dave King said a week or so back that money from season tickets would be invested in bringing in players. Looking forward to the next couple of weeks and to see just who we can bring in. It was a straight forward question so had you answered only with the above I would have accepted it. I haven't been following what Rangers have been up to the last few weeks more bothered about my own team. However the rest of your answer looks like a defensive verbal splurge which leaves me with the idea that you really don't know either. I have heard though that the only serious signing is Ryan Jack and the other signings and more especially the rumours about who you are supposed to be signing is all a big rouse to sell more season tickets, fair play to the media if this is the case. Your fellow fans have a track record for falling for being taken for a ride on any bandwagon the club creates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost every player the fans have never heard of. If that's their way of simply selling season tickets the club is doing a shite job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
