Clemdog 39,389 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 How negative do they have to be about a Scottish Football Club using common sense and making sure they don't end up in financial mire. Unbelievable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleshers Haugh 48 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 About documents reveal to STV saying that the days of us spending crazy money on wages are gone. That can only happen when you have a rich man in charge of the club and willing to fritter away money. We need to live within our means now.STV kind of hyped it up though by,saying that we could potentially see the end of top class players at our club now. Which I suppose is true but didn't like the way they came across.More on STV tonight about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM1872 3,819 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 The correct thing to do. With players like Templeton etc on supposed 7/8k a week, the quality is there within the affordable wage bracket.No way should we entertaining players who say, "I was on 3k a week where I was... not winning trophies but to win trophies and play at Ibrox I'll take 15k"I'd play for Rangers for nothing. Give me a job on the park. 110% every week.There should always be a wage cap which should be extended should we qualify for Europe etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanjo 26,490 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 A wage cap is one of the first things i not only expected but also hoped for. There is no need for Rangers to be paying more than 7-10k a week on a player to win the top league in Scotland.I love the spin on the story though "Rangers may not attract top names again". Yes i'm sure the Naismiths Whittaker's and McGregors who were all on 7,000 a week up until 2009 would all agree. Farcial how big a deal this is being made of.

How much do you reckon Ajax spend on wages, bearing in mind they produced most of their star players? It's the way forward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

6superbarry6 14,618 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Wage cap should've been brought in years ago paying the likes of Whittaker 20k + a week was madness Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKirk 26,501 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Nothing wrong with this at all.. I would cap it a 20k p/w including bonuses.. but then again that might be to intelligent for the Green haters Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithgersbear 3,225 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Good idea. Although will the other clubs follow? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbear 10,932 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Most of the teams running circles round us in Europe had top wage earners on £1500 a week.Malmo/Maribor etc.Us paying 20k plus was madness, if players of Templetons ability can be secured for 7k ish thats defo the way to go.

crabbit bear 139 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I know I think if I was on 6,7,or maybe even £10,000 a week, I would be able to manage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gersandy 594 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 A wage cap sounds great to me. We play in scotland. Dundee utd, Aberdeen, Hibs, etc cant pay more than £4k a week. Why is there a need for us to pay £20-30k to players?This should have been done 10 years ago im afraid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Given our financial position over the last few months i would have thought at least an informal wage cap would have been an obvious step. The "end of top class players" depends on your definition of top class. Xavi was always off the radar, but we will still be able to sign some of the best talent in Scotland - Templeton being the point in question.It sounds like STV trying to manufacture a story at the clubs expense.Why is it all the media outlets still seem to think we are fair game when it comes to shit stirring?
