Pointless, they have them in Spain as it's in the rules laid out by their FA, hence the reason the likes of Messi and Ronaldo have unthinkable release clauses - to ensure that they do not lose them as people are unlikely to meet their price. However this would not protect us against low bids - for example say Walkace had a release clause of £5m - teams like Forrest would still not offer anything close to that valuation, we would realistically only get the £5m if he was romping it in Europe and at that point the rease clause would become a negative as it would limit the amount we would get.
Wallace had the chance to move to the championship and receive a big signing on fee when the rest jumped ship, the fact he has a young family and is the coach of his local amateur team I can't see him leaving.
Decent player, by the looks of it a decent lad too however not the type of signing we need. We need to cut our losses on the likes of Cribari, Hutton, Perry, Hegarty, Smith, Foster etc first.
People are missing the point. Cutting the player budget is a short term solution. Which in my opinion is short sighted as it currently stands at 30% of our turnover. Fans of other clubs are desperate to see us struggling to compete on the park and are trying to push the message we need to live within our means. Well the 30% figure suggests we are already living well within our means on the park that on the park... We just need to stop the money disappearing off it.
Some people just want to criticise the management at every opportunity. For what it's worth; the talk is that McKay's attitude stinks. This kind of move may make him appreciate the opportunity he has at Rangers.
Really sad about his illness but let's not forget he has not always spoke in glowing terms about us. With that said I wish him all the best and hope his family stay strong for him in this hard time.
Don't know what game you were watching. Ally got it spot on once again. Dunfermline packed the midfield and made it difficult to play through. The best bet at times was a ball over the top. Good managers can adapt in these situations, McCoist is improving all the time.
