lee-irvine 53 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 It seems that many believe that Rangers have no transfer budget, but we had a £2.5 million bid in for Goodwillie in the last window albeit in money up front and block payments, in theory this money should still be available for this window plus the wages offered to him. Also more money should have been made since August and Whyte stated that at least £4 million would have been made available to invest in the squad, even if this was wages and transfer budget I cant see how we would have surpassed that.

hesaidnototheprovos 75 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Personally think no money will be available until the sale of some of our players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albluenose1990 29 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I think getting knocked out of the Europa League ended the hopes of having any extra transfer budget available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights 2,526 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Probably seen the shite that Ally has spent it on thus far. If I was in charge, I'd be telling him to get rid of Broadfoot, McCulloch, Kerkar, Ortiz, Bedoya, etc. if he wants replacements. They all either don't or shouldn't play at the moment. Signing better players isn't going to give them more chances. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee-irvine 53 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 he wont see european football next year if he doesn't invest in the squad either, and the shite that we have noone will buy, surely some money has to be made available to bring in at least two players without losing any of our good players we have.

Nemesis 277 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Getting knocked out of Europe and the stream of sneaky bills left by previous regime have sunk any budget we had.Quicker we get used to sell someone and bring in something 50% the value the better cos then this whole transfer section and can show some realism.I know that's a bitter pill but it's the truth nonetheless Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWTC 2,249 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 i think the fact we have so much dead wood means we have to have a mini clear out in order to get players that will actually do something in.whyte must have told ally that players like kerkar, mckay, bedoya, ortiz, healy, mcmillan, fleck, broadfoot, weir are basically wasting money at the moment, and hes right. even ness and hutton. how many players did we bring in during the summer? 6 of the above were signed or resigned, and have barely been used. i know we need a squad, but given how often these players have been used, would any of them be missed? dont get me wrong, id keep fleck, aswell as giving ness more time because hes a good player, and id make a decision on mckay one way or another. mcmillan should be ahead of broadfoot, and he can cover the same positions. basically, we have cover for cover which is rediculous. thinking about it, our squad is quite big, but its loaded with shite!given our current financial position, we really cant afford passengers. how much, for example, are we paying towards kyle bartleys new contract at arsenal? it may be little, but can we really afford to develop someone elses player? its rediculous, but im now of the opinion that we have to sell jelavic. i actually want us to sell jelavic. thats crazy for me, i never thought id want us to sell arguably our best players, easily our biggest asset, but thats where we are at the moment. give me an in form, interested, hungry jelavic, and i wouldnt sell him for £12M. but the way hes been for the last wee while, id sell him. id be happy with £8-10M, even if we only reinvest £3-4M. if we're clever enough, that could make a huge difference, far greater than the difference jelavic is making just now.

Thoughts Bears?We dont. Its commons sense. In theory dont always work in the real world.What more money? The clubs revenue is all taken up by running costs and wages for all our clubs staff including a huge playing staff. What more money?It was £5m he said he would spend and it obviously didnt include wages, he spent around £4m and had to pay £1m to pay off James Beattie. Where is the confusion?Any ideas?Thankfully, gone are the days of us spending money we dont have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't and probably won't .Its a Sickener really.Like they did? Dont kid yourself. For Rangers to succeed in Scotland and compete in Europe we dont need to spend money we dont have, we dont need to borrow money and go into debt. The we are the second biggets business in the country and have more resources than evey club bar one. Anyway, Scottish football is not a place for sugarddaddys or Russian billionnaires. It needs good coaches and clever owners. We certainly have one half of that. You cannot compare Rangers with any club from England, its a silly and pointless comparison. Its a whole different ball game down there. Different country, different clubs, different rules. He has, his only fault is backing Ally too much, without European football we are heading back into debt, who is going to cover the club running costs when they run out before the season is over? Fans will need to beg Mr Whyte to keep us going because no bank will touch us and no one else is interested in helping Rangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
