I wish we had given Gallacher and Smith a little game time after we won the league last season as we could have judged their match abilitys knowing we had this situation looming. Regardless I expect this Rangers team to win our matches with or without all our new players. Our team last season is enough to win SFL2 with ease the new guys add to that and give us more hope in cups.
It was utterly pointless playing Alexander for the last 4/5 games after the league was won and knowing that Bell would only be able to play three times as a trialist. What harm would it done to have given one of the sub keepers a run out?

Non-story.
There are plenty of better players for that price.
There are much better players for that money but his agent, Jorge Mendes, is also Jose Mourinho's agent and he has bought several players before for huge money that were represented by Mendes.
Mendes has already moved 3 of his players on to Monaco this summer though for over £100m in transfer fees. They are rumoured to be interested in Matic too so the whole story could possibly just be Jose doing his agent a favour and trying to increase his price or to speed up Monaco's interest in him.

Over the last few years very well indeed.
I would have agreed up to a few weeks ago. I personally don't think he showed enough when the biggest challenge came though.
-
The SFL is/was a shell organisation. His job is to represent the member clubs.
Do you think he represented them well?
-
It's not his job to convince the member clubs anything.
Surely it is the Chief Executive's duty to look after the best interests of the company and it's members? Allowing a vote before doing due diligence is irresponsible.
-
That's harsh. He did no such thing.
Everyone one of us can see the SPL for exactly what it is but he was unable to convince his member clubs that they were signing up to join a corrupt regime on the verge of bankruptcy, with millions of potential liabilities from law suits and no sponsor for next year without even doing proper independent due diligence?
I would want far more from anyone to warrant a place on our board.
-
He let the SPL bully his organisation and take over yesterday. What would stop that happening again if was at Rangers?
-
Heard on SSN that their wages are due on the 16th June as well but as that is a Sunday it would normally go in the Friday beforehand i.e. tomorrow. What were the penalties agreed for failing to pay players on time again?
-
He thinks we should all just trust the SPL because they may not be any worse than some other unspecified person.
Farcical!
Then he says they'll break the rules and do it anyway if they don't get their own way.
I wasn't actually sure if I could understand what Gray meant as his writing was very poor. Is he basically saying that because the SFA (and possibly SFL) have consistently lied to the clubs that this somehow excuses all the misleading by the SPL? That is some warped logic if it was what he meant.

Every player that has ever scored a hat-trick for us.

By all accounts I should add Nicky Clark in there. I'm forever hearing Gordon Dalziel say on SuperScoreboard that Hooper could make it in the EPL because goal-scorers score goals in any league as long as the service is right. If Gordon's correct then Clark could score goals at any level, for any team, just give him the service. This is the logic and I'm sticking with it.
Good post but huge congratulations for managing to get Gordon Dalziel and logic together! That really cannot have been easy.
-
Don't say that! They will have to fine us more to pay for it.
-
In this scenario then we should expect a clearout any time soon as SFL rules only allow us to register 22 players over the age of 21.
I reckon we already have 17 players contracted for next season over 21 (Bell, Gallagher, Wallace, Cribari, Bocanegra, Goian, Perry, Faure, Argyriou, Black, Hutton, Law, Templeton, Shiels, Little, Daly, McCulloch) and Smith and Peralta would take that up to 19 when they officially sign.
Ally saying he wants Alexander to re-sign and Goian/Bocanegra to stay as well as signing another 5 or 6 players doesn't add up unless there are quite a few leaving. Or if we won't be playing under SFL rules!

I know , I know................
Wish he would give us an example of this.................
Mather added: “There will be times when you want us to tackle our enemies and it will seem like we’re somehow reluctant to do so or that we don’t care.
“You might believe we don’t feel hurt to the same extent as you but I’m here to tell you we do.
“Sometimes you have to wait. We have chosen and we will continually choose the right moment to strike.
I can only imagine he is talking about when they banned the BBC when he said that. Although most would probably say it was already far too late by time we chose to react to their bias.

They have £50 million to play with
If you believe the Spanish press they say Atletico will be lucky to see £20million of the money from the Falcao deal. Most of the money apparently going to the 3rd party owners.
-
Everybody here is assuming that Boca and Goian leaving will free up all their wages. They won't get paid that much anywhere else now though so I would expect that we might have to give them a pay off.
-
Can I say Jim Park? I can't figure out why you're not saying it, to be honest
I was trying to work out who Tim Clark was until I read your post!
-
Aye yer right , think he also had Tiger on the books although let him walk for some reason
Maybe because Tiger was banging his step-daughter?
-
Dave King caddied for him in The Masters a few year ago
Player was also the first client that Alistair Johnston signed up for IMG!
-
We sold him and got Kevin Thomson for roughly the same amount of money. They were both about the same level I think.
-
I am probably skeptical but I don't really think what a manager says in signing talks matters much anymore. Basically it all comes down to money in most occasions now. The modern day footballer is probably only interested in what the manager says if they have a couple of equal offers on the table.
Ally has done well convincing all the players to sign for us in lower leagues but I honestly think if they had more lucrative offers elsewhere they would have taken them instead.

People thinking Green will come back
I'm sure he's already been paid off from his position as CEO, so I can't see him back on the board any time soon. Saying that, it wouldn't surprise me.
He hasn't actually even left yet. He is still technically still in the job to the end of the month.
-
I think your spot on. Daly and Law's wage combined would be the 10 grand or so a week Alexander was on.
It should, in theory, be easy to make the sums work.
If you factor in the wages saved from Sandaza and Kyle as well as Alexander, our wage bill after signing Law, Daly and Bell will probably still be quite a bit less than it was for most of this season.

Doesn't take away from the fact people are criticising Ally for saying the training hasn't changed for 30 years and in the same breath praising the training methods of Jock Wallace in that era, does it?
What's the problem exactly? That the training methods haven't changed or the perception members of the squad aren't fit enough?
The training regime 30 years ago might well have been great at the time but the rest of the world has changed since then. Now it is outdated and not up to scratch.
30 years ago I had a top of the range TV. It was 28", colour and had just gotten a fourth channel. It was great back then but doesn't mean that I would be trading in my new flat screen with Sky HD for it now!

It is absolutely crazy how long it is since we have had a regular in the left mid or left wing slot. Ever since Walter came back we seem to have tried everyone there and no-one has been able to hold down the position for any spell of games. I am probably missing quite a few but all of these have played at some stage:
This season
Templeton, Smith, Macleod, Mackay, Little, Crawford
Last Season
Templeton, Mackay, Aird, Shiels
2011
Ortiz, Bedoya, Wylde, Papac, Wallace, McKay, Celik, Naismith, Aluko, Kerkar
Previous seasons
Whittaker, Miller, Lafferty, Weiss, Diouf, Fleck, Adam, Rothen, Gow, Novo, Beasley, McCulloch, Aaron
