STEPPS BOY 74,697 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 You SELL players. Not ask them to take a pay cut. And do it so publicly.And by doing it this way you let other clubs know that you're desperate for cash..I can see clubs offering 500k for Wallace now.

Bertent 2,081 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Tell me one company that asks their staff to take wage cuts if the company is not in trouble?What other costs do we have that we can cut? I mean you are no stranger to bumping your gums about fiscal probity.But have I missed something, everyone including the Gru crew were demanding financial management, board attempt it and we end up back i hyteria mode with the usual suspects inventing things that suit their own warped agenda.

cushynumber 25,178 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Please god don't give McCoist anymore money to spend before we are back in the top division.the fuckin pots empty GF - he will get fuck all and will be lucky to hang on to the players he has.

wearethepeople1 3,897 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Continued shambles from top to bottom, it's an absolute joke. If Wallace was to cut costs then it should have been done quietly in the background to the extent where we tried to move on surplus players and may even have gotten a small fee for some. Now, it seems like we're in the shit again and clubs will know that and either offer hee-haw for them or wait until we release them e.g. £1m for Wallace now???I can see Wallace getting punting for a ridiculously under value fee now Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasa_Papac_No1_Fan 605 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 You SELL players. Not ask them to take a pay cut. And do it so publicly.So let's sell all the top earners and struggle in the Championship? get a grip, as most people have said on this, investment is the last thing we should be asking for the now as it give the board more money and defeats the purpose of cost cutting, and Wallace's job when he came in said he want to cut cost in with the playing staff ie wage cuts and coaching staff cuts which he has started with McCoist. Now if there are "Rangers" fans in that changing room saying no, they should be the 1st out the door as we all know people that bleed the colour blue and would love to play for free and it is only a 15% cut. Not a lot considering most of them are getting past 5k in their pockets every week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlesblue 42 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 How would you feel if your line manager, boss, whatever walked in and said 'Alright lads, how would you feel about a 15% pay cut?'

norgerpd 280 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 First of all,to all the rhattlers(with the low post counts)................keep fuckin dreaming(the clock is ticking on you corrupt reptiles.Your day will come after all!!!)To the Bears on here.........no time to panic.This was the next common-sense move to get our wage bill under control.There will be negotiations(no suggestions it's a "take it or leave it" scenario).As for selling our best players..........not gonna happen.It would be financial suicide as they need us to keep turning up for this seasons procession and to part with our dough come ST renewal time.NO Surrender!

Though somehow I can't see it happening. .....Presumably Wallace and the other new board members, having joined quite recently, will have been given a more sustainable wage in the first place, as the rough extent of cuts necessary would have been known. That won't have been the case for players signed some time ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
