PaulRFC1 115 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Smith says Rangers have opened contract talks with every player who is out of contract this year and next year.He says the preparation has been done but the action will be done when they find out which way the club is going.Good to know we have opened contract talks with Bougherra and Davis, we must keep them.

FlippinEck 3,737 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 We should be offering the likes of Davis and Bougherra one year extended deals (unless they want more) to at least guarentee us good potential fees in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plamf 39 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 We should be doing this far earlier. Have we not learned anything from the Boyd and Miller situations? Tie players down or sell them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluepeter 5,627 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 We always seem to be 'preparing' or 'making plans' but never actually fucking doing anything.To be fair, we can hardly offer them a deal at the moment until it is decided whether Whyte is buying or not. No player would sign a deal knowing that a better deal might be on the table if/when we are bought over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulRFC1 115 Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 We always seem to be 'preparing' or 'making plans' but never actually fucking doing anything.Thats what Walter said.He said the preparation is done and we are waiting to see which direction the club is going in before they start the action part.So basically its all been prepared and we have opened talks but we wont offer anything until we find out if Whyte is buying us.

Johnny Dangerously 7,563 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 just cause we have started talking to them doesnt mean much, for all we know they have been offered wage reductions No doubt they will be asked to take a wage cut, if previous is anything to go by.

WilliamMunny 3,279 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 At this moment in time we can't tie players down on the same wage they are on. It will not be allowed unless they take pay cuts. If Whyte takes over we could probably offer them better and longer deals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Learn what?How to force players to sign contracts they don't want? FFS!You and/or anyone else cannot defend in any way, shape or form the way our club handles contract negotiations. We are fucking clueless at them and more often than not always end up losing money.Its not about forcing them mate, its about handling any given situation better. We are probably the only club on the planet who would be willing and able to lose a league record top goal scorer for absolutely nothing. Martin Bain has proved time and time again he is not upto this job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the way Bain has been handling our affairs. I cant imagine Diouf, Weiss, Jelavic and Beattie will be on the £14k we offered Miller! By all accounts Bain also promised Caniggia a new deal if we wont he title, we won the title and offered him nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just have to wait and see what the club can come up with mate.On this seasons form i wouldnt mind both moving on for the right price, if they are allowed to run down their contracts again, after knocking back £5m for Bougherra last year, im sure fans wont be happy. Win or lose the league, with or without a takeover McCoist will have "some" money. Im sure of it, otherwise why bring in Bomber and Neil. Our finances are getting better year on year.

WilliamMunny 3,279 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I would like to see Davis tied down for another 4 years but that would cost about 4m overall. That won't happen unless Whyte takes over and allows it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
