TommyDickFingers Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 The fact we got 2.5m for McCrorie and you chaps got 300k for wright is a nice plus but The rangers are the real winners here imo! With that fee and the 600k you got for tik tok Todd you can now afford to pay us for Droopy. Everyone is happy no? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJF Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 “So Dons fans, what was your most enjoyable piece of transfer business this window? Was it the captures of Keskinen or Mitov? Or maybe receiving a record transfer fee for Miovski?” ”Actually, it was Rangers selling Scott Wright to Birmingham City…” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sortmeout Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I’ve been chased out of the Ayr thread so is it ok @AJF if I use the “transfer fees don’t apply to clubs only companies” line and move over here for a while? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 (edited) Am I correct in viewing the current situation with respect to Phillipe Clement is splitting the Ibrox fanbase? Some think changing the manager is required and other accept it won't make a difference. Rangers can't get to where they want to go in the foreseeable future, money is a limiting factor. Any discussion around the manager is pointless. Rangers fans are venting negative emotional energy: disappointment, frustration and so on, but it's just engaging in misery. Any Rangers fans wanting to change the manager or any Rangers fans who're upset with what the players are producing on the pitch isn't being realistic about the position their club is in. Even the board are trying to clean up a mess created years ago. It's a shit situation for Rangers, but why does there always have to be someone to blame? I've always hated that about fans.

I’d say he is getting his fair share of criticism but most of the anger is being directed at the board. You’ll see some calling for him to go but on the main it’s a case of people feeling he has been let down. And if you think the board are blameless or are somehow trying to clean up a mess they never created then I think you have the wrong end of the stick. It’s also silly to suggest that what we’ve served in terms of performances in these matches should not be disappointing to the fans. Teams with much less resources than ourselves have done much better than we have against Celtic in recent times.

1GregStewart Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 This is just the after effects of the desperate over spend to stop 10 in a row. The following seasons champions league money didn’t cover the amounts loaned to stop their rivals winning the 10. The board at Sevco has never learned from their Rangers predecessors, and the mismanagement all started again with the ridiculous spend to win league 2 then league 1 against Stranraer etc. and all the semi pro teams. An absolute shambles of an organisation that have even made Ibrox look like a sports direct shop with that horrible blue boarding outside the ground at 1 of the corners. Let’s pray they don’t even end up runners up this season and let the rest of the country continue smiling. Oh and the videos surfacing aggressively verbally attacking the captain and the manager etc. tells its own story. Keep it up ‘peepul’. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 There’s a story today that rangers net spend this summer was close to £12m. Thats quite insane based on 1) how shit they are and 2) how they’ve been pleading poverty all summer. By far and away the biggest spenders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think about £4.5m of that was our obligation to make the Diomande loan permanent. The remaining £8m or so has been spent on 5 new players, so an average of £1.6m per player. It’s certainly a luxury in comparison to 10 other sides in the league, but it’s not going to help us catch up with Celtic if you compare the value of our signings to theirs and the large turnover of players we needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what you’ve seen so far, do you think any of the new players are any good ? Or do you think Clement has spent £12m on crap ? I keep hearing chat at work around Barron but I’ll be honest, I’ve never seen it with him and Aberdeen are certainly not missing him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hard to say with a couple of them. As an example Cortes signed last January but has probably made less than 10 appearances for us due to a couple of bad injuries he has picked up. Igamane a summer signing made his debut yesterday with 10 minutes to go. Bajrami and Kasawanjiro came in on deadline day so no idea what they are like and Nsiala was brought in as a development player so hasn’t featured for the first team either. Barron has by far been the best signing thus far but seems he is being left to do the job of two people as he is constantly left isolated against 2 or 3 midfielders when our attacks break down. Cerny had a good full debut against Motherwell but looked completely lost yesterday. I don’t have much faith in him being anything special. Propper similarly had a poor game yesterday but has had his start disrupted by injuries too. I think that only leaves Jefte unless I am missing anyone else (other than Kelly as backup GK) and he has been a mixed bag of good and very bad.

I'm confused as to whether Cortes, Igamane, Bajrami, Kasawanjiro, Nsiala, Cerny, Propper and Jefte came through your academy and much-vaunted B team, or if they're ingredients in an exotic curry? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
