Guest Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 In an interview with the Sunday Mail today, Ally McCoist confirmed that he will be facing cuts in the wage bill from what it is presently and he also fears that he will lose some of his current playing staff. McCoist confirmed that he has already been made aware of his budget for next year, presumingly his transfer and wage budget and he seems content that he can still bring in players to accentuate a dwindling squad."In an ideal world the club will be bought over and investment will come in. At the moment we can't say with any certainty if that will be the case. We need to plan for next season. I know the budget and don't see that changing dramatically unless someone buys the club. It's up to ourselves to identify players and bring them in."View the full article Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted E Bayer 536 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 The wage budget is as low now as it's been in many a year, yeah they want to reduce it further.Murray's mismanagement is meaning the bank are strangling us to death. Absolutely shocking for things to get this bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigie79 67 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 A wee correction to that article cutting the wage bill by a million equals 20k a week or 2 10k a week players.Demoralising stuff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the brown brogue 1,961 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 A quote from the article....There have been suggestions that this may be as much as £1million, however that works out at losing one player who is on around £2k per week which wouldn't be a disaster.Who wrote it? Because their maths is fucking awful if they think 2 grand a week equates to 1 million a season 1 million quid is a pretty big chunk to take out of the wage bill of what will be an already pretty thin squad.

markybear 136 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Maybe it meant to say 1 player who is one 20k per wk, that would be more accurate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUDGIE52 9 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Unfortunately this is they way we are now, imo if players need to go Rangers should be looking at some of the dead wood that has been at Ibrox for a number of years and contributed nothing, lads like Andrew Shinnie, Little, and one or two others should be sold on and allow other youngsters to come through.

SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Fucking disgusting, yet they still expect 40 odd thousand Bears to pay top dollar for season books! Fans are simply buying into blind faith, not ambition and for Rangers FC, that is disgusting. Whats the fucking point? Demoralising stuff.Ansolutely sick, Celtic will continue to manage a wage bill in excess of £30m, and we are downsizing further to LESS THAN HALF of theirs.Are we now Scotlands second biggest club? Murray, you are a parasite, take you catalogue model with you and get to fuck! Embarrassing stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted E Bayer 536 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 The worrying thing is they are picking up quality players on the cheap and on free's or pre's while we are not getting anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their ability to pay higher wages and a gd sign on fee makes them an easy option for players such as commons who (as far as I'm aware) dont have any blue or green allegiances Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a shambles and are being run by clueless idiots. Our financial position proves this time and time again.Such a huge club, so many fans, so many income streams, so much money coming in year on year, so much here now to make us stronger, yet we consistanly downsize and make the same mistakes, year on year.Our fans deserve better, our name deserves better, those who made us who we are deserve better.

Ozblue 4,332 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 McGregor will be off aswell as Bougherra.I told them they should have bought Mitch Langerak, but naw! now he's playing a blinder for Borussia Dortmund against the might of Bayern Munchen. I see that young Matthew Leckie is off to Borussia Mönchengladbach next season also, and I really think that if our wage bill is going to be slashed even more, we are going to have to be looking for younger players with potential to be groomed into the new system and do the job Ally wants them to do.

cnicholl2910 1 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Think is what said last week that the first thing he has to do is lose a million from the wage bill for this season.Weiss wont be with us next season so the wages, whatever we are contributing wont be thereBeattie - He will be either sold for a pittance after his stint at blackpool or le go completly so his wages wont be thereDiouff - Wont be here next season again similar scenario to WeissFoster - ont be bought by us and no wages to himWeir wont be here and whatever he gets each week will be awayHealy - same as Weiss & DiouffAll this will be over a million but its 6 players away from our squad!!And the worrying thing is will we accept a big bid for shagger, boogie or davis too!!

And arguably losing them wouldnt harm us much if our team was in the right hands.Healy will hopefully still be here, his wages, by his own admission, wont be an issue.
