BlueGates 406 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 That Andy Holt that all the newspapers seem to be quoting seems like a bit of a pansy. Obviously unfamiliar with how football works and spitting the dummy out. It was alright for them to sweep up Kal Naismith on a free after he left us.Anyway, glad to see us going about or business efficiently. Should have been doing this 3 and a half years ago.We didn't offer Naismith a new deal... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMotor 2,208 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Not sure I approve of signing these young lads so early in the window. Are we still going to have funds available to throw at some injured, over-the-hill numpty on deadline day?What's James Beattie up to these days?

TheMotor 2,208 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 400k!? Is Martin Bain back?400k wouldn't be enough for Bain. Need to be 400k signing-on fee, 750k in wages and another 600k for Model Martin's end-of-season bonus if we get promoted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKirk 25,647 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Certainly wouldn't be paying 400k for both I would say 100k for both or nothing.AS press man said yesterday that Rangers told the club that they planned to talk to both lads. That's the only contract we've had so we did go down the formal route. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could lose them for free and Rangers could resell them and take any profit. They could sell them back to England if they wanted to."Because they're getting them for free they can offer wages that other team can't offer."It's not about the lads' rights to earn a living, I respect that and I like them. It's about what's right and what's wrong."They've come a long way at this club, since they've been at Accrington it's transformed them. I don't like the way the rules are set out."I don't like the way Rangers have gone about this, not picking the phone up to (Accrington manager) John Coleman.

KingKirk 25,647 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Accrington Stanley's media officer told radio Scotland that we had told Accrington that we planned to speak to both players.
