stevemartin1991 262 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 With the rumoured transfer fee of 1.5 to 1.8 Million being agreed for Garner, are we happy overall with Signings and Money thats been spent? Understood we still need a big no nonsense CB(senderos? or a possible loan signing) but i think we could be close to title 55 at the end of the season. My overall views of Dave King is he has done what he would say he would do in regards to signings, shame he bottled a follow up from cup final but overall im happy. Views bears?

I can't remember the last time I was this happy being a Rangers fan. Yes the board have played their part but I think a number of factors are contributing to the feel good factor: style of play, recruitment, squad harmony, results (especially old firm) and the biggest one for me the fans, it's been great over the last 12 months to be talking about normal football related topics again.

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I am mot necessarily a fan of Dave King or the Board but I am beginning to become one; it's hard to see where they have put a foot wrong since taking over the running of the club. People should be judged on their record at Rangers over a time and what they have contributed to the club, and so far the Chairman and this Board have done very well. It appears they are putting the fundamentals together in order to bring long term success to the club, and that is the bass is possibly most pleasing.

CF2 WINNIE 1,006 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 No we must spend at least £5mil on all new players from now on anything else then they won't be good enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 It was a no brainer getting the rats out the club and rangers men running us again. It will never be perfect and there will always be grumbling about one thing or another but it's heading in the right direction. Get fat Ashley to fuck and get a new share issue going then the squad can get really bolstered and our stadium back to its former glory and all will be well.

bluenose1975 1,287 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Still wish they would have taken the stance of no away tickets required this season and if necessary, give all including the tramps fae the east the smallest corner possible in the away end. Fuck the lot of the SPL, never forget, never forgive ????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanoli 4,625 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 A quality of center back and i'll be close to coming around. 3 positions badly needed filled for us to win the league. Holding midfield- stumped up the wages for Barton and Rossiter. Striker- looks like we're putting good money on the table for a player the gaffer wants. Center half - Clint Hill and Senderos isnt good enough, I'm sorry. If Senderos proves to be what we need and we sort it out back there my praise will go to him and Mark Warburton - because even though the Garner deal proves there is some money there, Senderos being our first choice for a problem position shows that there isnt as much as King promised. If we win this league with those 2 as free transfers being the only additions to our defence it'll be an achievement alongside Walter winning 3 in a row when we went 2 years without paying a fee.

I read that the transfer fee we're paying for Joe Garner is £1.5M minimum to be paid in two instalments. 750k this year and 750k next year, then with add ons for appearances etc the fee could rise to £1.7million in total which would be another 200k. He looks to be a good signing, well done to the scout who spotted him. MW for approving him and the board for releasing the money to pay for him.

bluenose1975 1,287 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 It did pass my mind senderos coming for some training time might be a way of smoking out our real target? Widnae put it past MW, DW and wee frankie. They've been one step ahead of the game to date. Here's to one more rabbit coming out the magic hat ?(Ps if it's senderos then the gaffer sees the value and that's enough for this bear) ??

bluenose48 951 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I was very much against DK prior to last season. However signing Warburton and SDW has proved to be a master stroke, getting MacParland on board as scout has put a lot of good players our way this season. If we sign Senderos and Joe Garner that will convince me that I was wrong and DK and the board will do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimfanciesthedude 24,540 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Yup well done the board in spending the season ticket money the fans paid into the club, outstanding dedication from them and no one else, record season ticket sales with a price increase did this, nothing else Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehost 11,061 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Good fishing OP We wont be finishing anywhere near the top if we don't acquire a quality centre half. Irrespective of who the board is we patently don't have a pot to piss in, we run at a huge annual loss and Scottish football makes it nearly impossible for us to run at any level of viability; ergo we need a sugar daddy and we certainly don't have one of those.

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,715 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 If we ignore the blatant lies DK spouted to gain control, regards the puting in of tens of millions of his own money, then on the whole yes I'm happy with the progress being made. Money should have been available for signings due to ST sales funds, and it appears now that some is. For me it's never been about spending X on a player for the sake of it. It's about if MW saw a player he wanted that could add significant value - and hefty profit after a few years - then we could go out and get him. Until now that market has appeared to exclude contracted players who involved transfer fees and for me that was too restrictive on the manager. A strong dominant speedy CH to go and I'll be very happy this window. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WATP-FOREVER 5,231 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Where’s the £50m, £30m or £20m, whatever it was, gona be coming in? There is only one thing that I would change at RFC at the moment, and that would be for DK to hold his wheesht. He too readily plays into the hands of the fenian gutter press.
