Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 for months now we have all branded the likes of Naismith, McGregor, Davis ect. as traitors because they didn't transfer their contracts over to the new holding company. but does anyone else think something else may have went on behind the scenes that we weren't told about? perhaps Green told them not to transfer their contracts over because he couldn't afford to (or just didn't want to) pay their wages? it does seem a bit of a coincidence that the high earners were the first to jump ship. to be honest i hope something like that did happen, as i still find it very difficult to 'hate' these players, and i doubt im the only one Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WATP-FOREVER 5,231 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Those players left and were signed by their new club, so they had outside interest/value. Why would anyone agree to them walking for free. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShoeShoeShoe! 5 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I think the situation can be underestimated at times. There may have been alot of risks involved with transferring. I can understand them wanting to keep playing at the highest level for them and whilst there was uncertainty why shouldn't they move quickly rather than shoot themselves in the foot.

aranger 6 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Naismith gave Green not talking to him at all for one of the reasons.They had a deal to let them go cut price but chose to pocket the lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godfather 75,871 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I don’t know why Rangers fans are wasting their time trying to reason why these bastards left, I mean did these players spend as much time choosing if they stuck by the club that made most of them or did they sprint out the cat flap like the shameless creatures they are?

Gaz92 966 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Why didn't the likes of Bocanegra and Edu not just walk away before transferring?No one said they had to stay, they could have stayed for another 2/3 weeks.Naismith could have got us a transfer fee as a way of saying thanks for seeing him through two serious injuries.McGregor could have got us a transfer fee for the years he's been the first name on the sheet for us, and for all those pay packets he took home. Most who left could have given that little bit extra to The Rangers, and I'll never forget that they didn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippinEck 3,844 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 They had worked release clauses into their contracts. No matter how little those clauses were, they knew they could have ended up leaving anyway. They essentially voided them and done us out of the money that we could have done with...

Bertent 2,081 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 The only FACT I know is they all put their own immediate interests before the club. No loyalty, so why can they reasonably expect any in return now or in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jtf1872 13 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 they are pricks with no loyalty the should have at least stayed like edu then left so we could have got a fee for them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRITNEY IS NOT FEELING IT 8,293 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Money before loyalty , I especially find it even harder to understand why anyone from our shores , who supposedely supported us as a youngster , would leave in such a way .

FrankAnderson 1 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I do not care what you say. These players kept Rangers alive. If they had not taken a big pay cut we would not have been able to fulfill our fixtures and would have dropped out of the league completely.

Big Al 55 9,536 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 There may have been alot of risks involved with transferring.Like what? It was simple agree with Charles Green that if they transferred over they would be sold for £500k, if that fee was not forthcoming before the end of the transfer window they could have the option to be released from their contracts.How difficult would that have been?
