Marco Negri's Beard 1,423 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 All depends on the outcome, we might go down the route of panic signings like Novo, Boyd, or a loan signing but IMO that wont be until the end of the window. The way things are looking, were wanting to sell pretty early in this window to put some money in the bank.Am i right in saying we aren't gonna get a verdict on the tax case until May? In which case, obviously we aren't gonna blow millions but we have to remain competitive on the pitch. Would say that Boyd + a loan signing or a relatively cheap player would be what we'd go for. Let's hope they are of the Boca/Goian bracket rather than the Bedoya/Ortiz level of quality (so far, at least).Would prefer us to sell early and have time to look for targets Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cd true bluenose 86 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I think Novo and Boyd will end up back, Jela's wages would maybe cover both of theirs, not to mention I think there'll be more than one exit this season.I hope we get a wee surprise though and a fringe striker from a prem team, or likewise quality, comes along.boyd /sandaza the cheap option ? novo not a 90 minute man.

garycassidy1802 37 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Someone beg Sir Alex to give us Berba or Wellbeck.In all seriousness, I'd happily say take a risk on Nigel Hasselbaink, Jon Daly, Francisco Sandaza, or even Gary O'Connor.

Is it better to sell now and get a good price. Keep the money and if we win, we have funds to rebuild with a clean slate. Or is it better to keep our major assets and run the risk of losing, then getting a much lower market value for the same players.It's a difficult situation we are facing, some major decisions will have to be made.

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 But is the rest of the money being moved off shore? I don't see any point in banking it here because it will presumably just disappear if the tax case goes against usThe money wouldn't disappear, it would go to Mr.Whyte since he is the only secured creditor ?On topic - think we would get a bit more than 10%. I don't even listen to the radio or anything anymore, they talk so much shit it's unbelievable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could even be settled out of court even before the first stage this month. Us letting this drag on through the courts or appealing a decision. Really doesn't help our cause. As it keeps us in a limbo setting.I hope I'm wrong, but. I think the reason why were looking at selling at the start of the window. Is to build up funds to settle out of court. Which will mean no direct transfer funds handed to Ally McCoist. I think we'll take the hit of losing a few main players, and take our chances at the league without them.

pedro365 104 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 The banks have nowt tae dae wae it whyte cleard the debt to them when he took over at rangers I hope you're right, really do. I just can't see it, I can see the bank eating the hand of whoever offers a couple million and us being left with a bare bones squad, or having to find a replacement on a shoestring budget.

S7ingyRing 0 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 We will never know how much we will get for jelavic because if he goes for £10million put you'r bottom dollar on the tax man freezing it. I expect all we will find out is that it s a "Nominal fee". Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
