JimmyCR1 1,490 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 ....we didn't have the second highest wage bill and the highest paid manager in Scotland, because were most definitely not the second best team and McCoist definitely isn't the best manager. Sickens me that the Dundee Utd players are on a fraction of what our players are but are far superior, the money we waste on these importers is a joke.

Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 the manager needs sacked and the squad needs totally revamped if we are to challenge in the SPL at all in the next 8-10 years Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyCR1 1,490 Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 I heard a story, don't know how true it is, but when Nicky Clark came for contract talks he was hoping for between 1.5-2k a week and he walked in and never had to say anything and was offered 4k a week right away, fucking throwing money away if that's true and it wouldn't surprise me if it is Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackandra 732 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 The one that sticks out to me is that Ian Black was struggling to make a living at Hearts and had to do some painting and decorating as a side job. Now hes rumoured to be on 6.5k-10k a week a driving about in a Bentley. Wouldnt mind if he was bossing the midfield and winning us games but hes just another journey man picking up a fuckin fotrune when theres probably loads of young talent out there that would do a better job for a fraction of that wage.

LegendofCoop 17,148 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Shiels should have the decency to walk away. Fucking embarrassment of a player! He could easily take a few with him too. We simply can no longer to afford to have passengers draining our resources.Foster hasn't enhanced our defence in any shape or form.Templeton, although a good player, is too fucking dear for what we actually get from him. £5k or £6k a week for someone who plays 3 or 4 then misses 8 or 9. Joke!!Peralta. Just not the type of player we need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams would kick us off the park apparently so Ian Black made sense since he ain't a footballer but like to kick people. Rather than try to play football and start a new philosophy we should simply resort to long balls and kicking people. Is this really the mentality we want Rangers to have?

Columbo 588 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Judging by today they are not far superior it was a pretty even game which I'd say we shaded in the first half.But I do agree with your central point which is that the standard of our squad is well below what I'd expect it to be considering the wages we are spending Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOAT 30,449 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 How much is Ricky Foster on a week, I'm willing to bet 5-10k a week. How much do you think Argyriou was on? 2-5k a week, did he really do any worse a job than foster?What about simonsen? We loan a young goalkeeper to Airdrie and then sign this clown and waste thousands a week on him. It's a joke, McCoist has blew millions winning two part time leagues, and the wank has the cheek to ask for more money? Fuck off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switched off thinking there was an offside for the first goal and two schoolboy errors for two and three cost us big time.I felt disappointed at the end, not so much with the effort or performance, but because we could easily have won that game.Dundee Utd looked nothing special at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than try to play football and start a new philosophy we should simply resort to long balls and kicking people. Is this really the mentality we want Rangers to have?Absolutely not. This is where the problem lies. I dont know if its the poor standard of league we're playing in is dragging these players down, but something is not right. On paper we should be competing at least with mid table SPL, not scrapping wins against part timers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
