RANGERST1LLADIE 33 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Ano this transfer embargo is a total joke but I believe that the players we have are more than capable of winning the spl. The only reason we didn't this season was because of all the uncertainty and the point deduction. So..... get the current players signed up on new contracts and bring our title home.WATP Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTP 221 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 What doesn't help the situation is guys who don't want to get the battle gear on .............. the same guy who apparently was only one a few who DIDN'T want to take a pay cut.I hope he is proud of himself as it looks as though he will be leaving yet we can't replace him. And a Rangers fan ......... aye very good.Lafferty you sir, are a Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1mgg 3,766 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I think if we were to lose maybe one or two people then we are still in with a good shout. The team that played the last few games had what we may call some of the bigger stars missing(davis, lafferty and naisy). If we lost Davis and Lafferty i honestly dont think we would miss them that much.We just need to make sure we re-sign Aluko, as if we do start to lose players then we are fucked.Still think a boycott of away team or go to the third division should still be on the card, I know it was the SFA that passed this decision.

ogbg 20 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 The only reason we didn't this season was because of all the uncertainty and the point deduction.And because Naismith was missing for most of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
debear 603 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 All well and good, but there is still a £10m shortfall, no Europe, so unless our new owners are going to stump up the difference and cover it, then we need to lose players or we’ll be heading straight back into administration.

However if we manage to keep an in form fit Naismith then who knows how well we can do. A lot of ifs and buts, i think celtc should win but we could win.

Healy is on a very low basis, with bonus appearance money.Still and £8.5 shortfall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeney 241 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Aluko, Naismith, Fleck and Bedoya will be our stars next season and I'm more than happy with that. Ness, McCabe, Davis as CM options is tasty as well. Our first XI is more than capable of winning, the problem is keeping them here and avoiding injuries Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of ifs and buts, i think celtc should win but we could win.I'm sure they have, and I'm sure it involves eliminating the £10m shortfall. Green has already says that he wants to balance books. Unless there are folk who are willing to pump in £10m a year, to cover this shortfall, then we need to make a massive cut in wages.Remember we were losing so much money that the players had to take 75% paycuts. That doens't disappear just because we have a new owner, either he/they cover it, or we make big cuts, and he doesn't seem the type who is going to be throwing money at us.
