cushynumber 25,178 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Rangers players have rejected the Ibrox club's proposal of an across the board 15% wage cut.Manager Ally McCoist had been told that he would have to make cuts to his playing budget.McCoist has been in discussions with Graham Wallace as the chief executive undertakes a comprehensive review of the Ibrox finances.The players' wage bill at the League One side currently stands between £6m and £7m per annum.Last week, McCoist signed off on a pay cut of around 50%, which he agreed to in October. And consultant Philip Nash has been brought to Ibrox to help oversee the financial overhaul.http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25763595 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al 55 9,241 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I suspect this is an alternative to reducing the squad. Although I suspect realistically there are only one or two players we could actually get someone else to take without having to pay them off, which is obviously a tad counter productive. ianferguson 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I dont like this one bit.We need to cut costs, but this approach makes me worry.This is a sign of financial strain more than of prudent business.I hate to say it, but I am now officially worried about Admin happening.

j1mgg 3,766 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Never saw this coming, but the players are entitled to reject it.Players are in a win win situation as if we want rid of them we will have to pay them to leave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 73,803 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 It's either that or see teammates lose their jobs surely..Why should the players have to take pay cut due to the gross mismanagement of others?I now fully expect Wallace and Macleod to be shoved out the door.

Inigo 32,526 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 As this reminiscent of what happened before liquidation, I suspect some will go into panic overdrive.Also, Speirs and the likes will go on and on and on and on and on and on about the similarities... pensionerbear, surfsup2 and Rfc#1. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblueal 2,117 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 If this is true then permission to start worrying. We must be struggling big time to ask the team to take a cut. I don't blame them for one second saying no. Some like Jig have already taken a cut. They have seen the headlines about waste on bonuses, investigations, court cases, sacking Sandaza etc. This will sour the mood of the team big time.

Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 £750 off of £5000 is fuck all. If they refuse it, I would make them redundant. Well, the duds like Foster and the others that aren't getting in the team. Simonson would be off as well if it was up to me, Gallacher is good enough back up. Folk will say that we wont be able to sign players if we make redundancies, well that would only be for a year. We don't need to sign anyone in the summer, the team is good enough and if we make the redundancies NOW that would give us the rest of next seasons transfer window to sign players if we had to.
