BritishBear 34 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 If they want to go, fair enough, they did right by the club and have earned that right. I really wouldn't want to see anyone pushed out the door. Although Monday might see things change.McCulloch will stay and should be made Club Captain.

JCDBigBear 10,865 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 We need to keep as many of the players we have left as long as we can afford them. All the big money earners are gone. I expect Edu and Goian will follow. Not sure about Boca. We can't have a team of 2nd division players just because we are in the 3rd. We should put out the best team we can afford.

elephants stoned 2,994 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I would love it if these guys were prepared to play in SFL3 for SFL3 wages but that may be unrealistic except for McCulloch. Loaning Wallace and maybe Broadfoot out to Championship or top end League 1 clubs for a year or so would be a decent result for both us and the players concerned. Hope we can keep a few senior players because this could be a very hard few years for the young lads and a Jig or Davie Weir type big personality in the dressing room would be vital.

trueblueal 2,117 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Lee Wallace weekly wage would be higher than any first 11 combined in div 3. Part time players on a 100 quid a game plus a bonus is the reality. We would stroll it with a team of 1000 a week players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgruntled_bear 157 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 If we do end up in D3 for the start of the season. The only player I expect to stay is Lee McCulloch. The rest of the squad will be made up of youngsters from our under 19's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights 2,526 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Can't believe some of you fuckers. Moaning at the traitors for leaving then saying we should get rid of those who have proven themselves true Rangers. Get a hold of yourselves.

El Carpintero 546 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Goian is confirming he's out the door, but we need the other high earners to follow him if we ever get 100% confirmation we're in division 3. We have a chance to cut our cloth according to whatever division we're in each season. Only pay for the standard of player we need to get promoted each season and, hopefully run a surplus from gate receipts that we can bank for our return to the SPL.We don't need players like Goian, Wallace, etc to get out of division 3 and in 3 years (minimum) we can build on whatever youngsters we manage to develop in the lower leagues.Our running costs have never been lower, they are just about to get even lower in the next few weeks with guys like Boca, Dorin, Edu and possibly Lee Wallace leaving too. An outstanding opportunity to build from scratch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMotor 2,208 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 If we can keep 2 of Alexander, Wallace, McCulloch and Broadfoot we're doing very, very well.Those are the four senior players, along with Perry, that I would like to see stay. The contribution to our total wage bill from these players will be more than outweighed by the benefits to a developing team. I would like to see their loyalty rewarded by giving them the opportunity to play a leading role in guiding us back to the top. They would be securing a place in our club's history, far beyond anything a few thousand a week could buy them, and hopefully worth the sacrifice of a couple of seasons of lower league football. If they are willing to stay, we should not try and chase them out to save some wages. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No.12 508 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Considering the SPL just withheld our £9,000,000 and supposedly gave most of it to Hearts for Lee Wallace, would be a bit sad if he left, do we get our money back with a reciept? £900,000 mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoatbridgeBear 7,113 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 People have to realise we're not going to absolutely destroy this league if we don't have the players capable!We need to keep a better standard of player, to ensure we get up the leagues asap!

6superbarry6 14,266 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 We need some experienced players about the place. A team made up of inexperienced youngsters would get battered in Division 3.But I agree that we need to get some of the high earners of the list. Do we really need Goian and Bocanegra in Division 3? Perry and Broadfoot would be a more than good enough CB pairing.wouldn't want to pay the reported 5k a week for Broadfoot either,would pay it for Wallace as he is an asset who would be a first team regular in SPL,for me Broadfoot, Boca,Goian,Edu and depending on wages Bedoya will probably all have to leave as all players will be on unsustainable wages and have little or no resale value.Also I reckon Alexander will also go,do we really need a relatively high earning 30+ goalkeeper for div3?It would be sad to see more players leave but it just isn't feasible to pay these guys SPL salaries in div3,Wallace would be the only one I'd push the boat out to keep and I reckon Jig will accept a paycut,other than that wages should be capped at around 1k per week which imo should be more than enough to see us promoted this year and next then once in div1 we can start to spend more.

We should put out the best team we can afford.say Boca + Goian's combined wage is 30k per week,that is £1.56m per season x3 = £4.68m we will have spent on 2 30+ CB's who will be well in their mid 30s just to get out of the SFL and would probably need replaced by then anyway,that simply doesn't make sense and will also stifle the development of the likes of Perry or Hegarty.That £4.68m could be much better spent upon our re-entry to the SPL.

bill moles 0 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Realism. We are likely a third division club. We need to be a viable business moving forward and paying out more in wages than an SPL club while in SFL3 is not viable.We will sell 40,000 season tickets - we have no debt , lets field the best team possible.

Madina 3,932 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I think whatever division we are in we need some experience in the team.As an aside what a fecking shambles this whole saga has been.

The_Blue_Flash 390 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 From the Herald website SPL withholds placement money to Rangers to settle Ibrox outfit's outstanding debts to member clubsThe biggest beneficiaries will be Hearts, who are due £800,000 from the £1.5 million sale of Lee Wallace's transfer last summer. The balance is due later this month, at which point the Edinburgh club can seek restitution from the SPL.Celtic are also owed £40,337 but have yet to make a claim for it. Dundee United are also due over £30,000 and it is understood that they have applied to have that money diverted into their account. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
