the brown brogue 1,910 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 From the Express, so not sure how accurate this is...http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/299734/299734RANGERS could net Mervan Celik for free after an administrative blunder by Swedish club GAIS.The Light Blues were expected to have to pay £200,000 in compensation for the Swedish under-21 winger.Express Sport can reveal that the SPL champions have been told they might not have to pay the compensation set down by FIFA guidelines.GAIS still believe they are entitled to training compensation because Celik, who made his debut in the weekend win over Hibs, is under the age of 23,Their case, however, could be undone because they failed to offer the player a new contract 60 days before his last deal expired.It is understood that GAIS officials did offer Celik a deal verbally but never put it in writing and therefore have no documentary evidence to show FIFA should Rangers challenge them.

Gers'.Signed off with the footer.....'Pennie-less Rangers face oblivion if they are hit with a £49(000)million bill from HMRC, the result of which will be know soon, hopefully'.

Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 We should do the decent Protestant thing and pay them anyway.I know you're having a bit of a laugh, but if our finances were fine & this was clearly an administrative error I think it would be the decent thing for us to do. But this is business, and you'd be a fool to think business men & women care about such things nowadays. It's all kicking people when they're down and grabbing as much as you can at whatever cost. Sadly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissg910 110 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 ally doesnt get the credit for his signings that he should.everyone uses mckay,ortiz,bedoya as a stick to beat our manager.when imho they should be praising him for signing the likes of aluko/boca/mervan for free or very little. when you add goian in to the mix thats probably 4 excellent players for under 1mill.how many managers manage that bit of business in a year, especially rookies.
