Heard John Eustace is quite good.
Player/Coach deal...book it
-
You're assuming that those that attend Warburton's press conferences are rational human beings.
But it's the same damn transfer rules that everyone follows. MW followed them to the letter. No issue
-
Fucking pathetic
Never a Rangers fan
Still taking it up the ass I see..
-
wit ye on about
Why would the media say anything to MW when 1. We let the club know in advance 2. We contacted and signed them during the appropriate window.
-
Warburton presser tomorrow I take it? I wonder if he'll be accused of being immoral about these deals cause everyone has caused a fuss.
For crying out loud....we sent an email to the club secretary and told her in advance that the tanks were being parked on their lawn....

Here's the Arsenal story with quotes from the Accrington Manager.
Wrong article. It says a Arsenal scout was at the game to watch no one in particular and doesn't mention a 1millliom quid bid or offer
-
Mister C hacked your account HR?
Started hitting the bottle a little bit early today. The lack of sleep is kicking my ass these days
-
Barcelona and real Madrid. Much like Steven fletcher when at hibs the taigs and real Madrid wanted him so he ended up at Burnley.
Seriously the arsenal were willing to pay 1million for him according to reports
With the issues that Manchester United has had this season at the forward position, I'm sure surprised they didn't offer 2 million ...
-
Momo Celtic and Albion Rovers.
Malmö, Celtic, West Brom Albion and Blackburn Tovers?
-
have a drink Mr windass you've created a superstar
A legend already before the first goal scored!
-
Outside of Arsenal, who else were these two linked with potentially?
-
I'd hope not,that's a silly amount.
Very true. Would rather we kept the War Chest full.
-
Them posting on twitter how glad they are to sig for a big club will piss off their own fans at Stanley.
They are definitely helping their case for getting here in this window.
They barely missed promotion last year and they are in the thick of the promotion hunt this year. I doubt their owner and coach will let them go easily given their importance to advancing on to League One
-
4 year deals, interesting. Longest deals he has offered anyone so far I think.
Probably to keep Arsenal away
-
Not acceptable. He lied to us!
He told us we'd bring in 1 or 2 in January, and here we are a week into January on the verge of securing our third and fourth signings. Am raging!
Looks like MW didn't lie so your accusation is unfounded
-
Maybe David Cameron should take him on to solve the EU problem and IS.
And take him off his current research for the cure for cancer???
-
That may be so, but it wouldn't happen though. We wouldn't consistently win every match with that possession figure. St Johnstone wouldn't win every match against us with that figure.
Ally McCoist disagrees with you...
-
Yes. St Johnston had us sussed and they hammered us for it. 62% possession means fuck all when you're losing 3-0
I would much rather have 38% possession and the win every day of the week...
-
Moan, moan, moan! Tell me ONE player MW has signed that has let us down? Not everyone plays 100% each game but overall they have knitted well, stuck together and won more games than most. Yet some still question! Get a grip.
A true measure will be next year in the SPL.
-
Why does everyone automatically dismiss them as being shite because of where they play. Exact same thing. Happened with Waghorn and Tavernier due to their lack of game time at Wigan and the previous clubs they had been at. Now look at them.
To be fair, the English Championship is two levels about League 2. Much different quality of players in each league
-
but the standard of league 2 to the SPFL premiership is not a huge step up.
A sad thing if true....but makes sense given the lack of success in Europe for Scottish clubs lately.
-
£60m to compete in the CL groups
Must have missed us spending that when McLeish was in charge. A well spent £5-£10m is more than enough for what we're aiming for.
That's about right. A few difference-makers to add to the current squad of players.
-
I personally think it's yet another lazy, misleading and mischievous piece of journalism. All of our problems of the past few years were never going to just disappear overnight, and we were never going to build a SPFL/Champions League winning team in the Championship, throwing millions of pounds at players. It takes time, and a bit of patience to do things right. And that is the most important thing. Getting it right (as best we can).
We are laying and implementing essential, fundamental structures to ensure everything is in place ie staff, recruitment, scouting, youth teams, training, formation, ethos, infrastructure, historic contracts, PR etc. There have been mistakes and there will no doubt be more mistakes to come but things are progressing very nicely on and off the field given we are only about 7 months into the new regime. That said, I actually think our current squad could easily compete in the SPFL and with a few quality additions, which I believe will happen, we can win the SPFL at the first time of asking. Warburton will have done extensive homework on a higher calibre of player IMO and I think the Board will back him. The gap that some seem to see is simply not there IMO and there is no reason to fear anyone in the SPFL.
There is such a positivity around Ibrox right now that you could be forgiven for thinking that many journalists would be focusing on all the great things and changes we have made, but yet again, although there are some token compliments it is a very unnecessarily negative piece IMO.
Out of interest, what are the valid points you seen from the piece?
That is all great but the financial reality is that the club is currently running at a 7M quid loss per year and while revenue has increased with season ticket sales, so have expenses to cover the items you mention above. Unfortunately due to the overheads at Ibrox, Champions League money (being in the Group Stage of the CL) seems to be the way to get to a breakeven point. Its a catch 22....to get the higher money, you have to spend money on improved players that will not only win the SPL, but will advance to the CL Group stages.

Why 6 months?
For the club, they get a chance to get a much better look at him during actual match situations to see whether a long term deal is worth it. For the player, they get a chance to train in the Spring at a fantastic training ground and earn a wage. For the player, they can also play themselves into a higher wage based on their individual performance as well as the success of the club (SPL or Europa League via a Cup win)
