Band of Brothers 10,303 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Would hope it was half that and a one year deal.I agree totally and even at that its still alot for where we are in terms of the league we play in.I also think this is a signing that puts another divide in our support that is already ripped to bits.

kplfishtank 4,656 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Have had a few mates text me saying 16k a wk but surely to fuck that is wrong if not then I really despair.your mates are way off the mark, nobody at the club is on anywhere near that figure per week Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibroxholm 2,276 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 What if the youngsters just aren't good enough? What if the likes of Robbie Crawford and Kane Hemmings just weren't up for playing every week for a team that had to win all of their games? Everyone always seems to think that a young player with a bit of talent can do it week in week out, but the key to bleeding youngsters into a team is to do it progressively, while they're surrounded by experienced heads to guide them.Totally agree. This perception that we have missed some golden opportunity in last 2 years is nonsense IMO. We have 3 or 4 good youngsters who may make the grade with the right encouragement, we don't have the Busby babes waiting in the wings. Even if we did discover the next Ronaldo or Messi playing in our U17s, with our current position they would be off to another club as quick as their agent could set it up. Look at the likes of Ness and McCabe, they didn't see it as glorious opportunity to be with us, they were off at first opportunity.Miller's signing is not ideal but hopefully it should help us back to the top league, we can then build from there when we will a more attractive proposition for better players. Having said all of the above, Ally really needs to give the few prospects we have more game time next season. IMO, barring injury, Templeton, McLeod, and Aird should be regulars next year. And the fans need to do their part and not slaughter them at every mistake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetheart 8,458 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I think players wages should be capped, at maximum of 5k per week across the whole of Scottish football Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 73,890 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Have had a few mates text me saying 16k a wk but surely to fuck that is wrong if not then I really despair.Less than half of that Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintbob1969 1,459 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 If we sign this older player it will be important to know how much it is costing us. If it is not too much then he can do a job and younger pros can learn from him. But our track record recently suggests we're wasting money and getting fairly little in return. I'd rather see us bringing back a past defender to sit alongside our younger lads, teach them, keep them in line than blow big money on someones retirement plan.

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Love how people seem to know what his wages are going to be lol.One thing I'm glad of though which I've noticed in this thread, is that we haven't had the uproar that we had the last time he signed for us.

Phil 1,150 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 So did Mo Jo, and didn't Miller play for us before he had ever played for Celtic?Not to get involved in this, but Maurice Johnston was never a Ranger and is certainly still not.Might have been a footballer but not a Ranger in the sense of what that word means.

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 A key goal is to win promotion next season (the review document spells out the objecftives for the next 3 seasons). Playing for Rangers in such a vital season as the one coming up would require a blend of team that has enough experience in key areas. Miller knows what sort of pressure to expect in playing for Rangers so I guess its no surprise that Ally would see such a signing as having a lot more positives in the quest for promotion than negatives. The strategy - it seems - remains to get to the top flight as fast as possible and we'll take it from there. With a team whose core is experience to deal with the pressures. Would not be surprised if a further experienced addition to the strike force takes place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
