chris182 6,369 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I'm disappointed but no-one apart from the staff really knows what has gone on here. Time will tell whether this was a bad decision or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
USA Ger 99 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Fucking ridiculous Rangers. Just highlights how much of a shambles the Club is.All the best Charlie, just don't stay at that mob for too long.They have a good record with young players, this time next year he'll be getting linked with clubs in England for decent money.

jcb 1,167 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Depressing more than anything. Could have handled losing him to an english club, but Dundee United :anguish: :anguish: At Dundee United he'll be given the opportunity to develop his game.A total shambles re - the circumstances of his leaving.Wish him all the best.

Just highlights how much of a shambles the Club is.All the best Charlie, just don't stay at that mob for too long.Charlie Telfer is leaving Rangers and joining Dundee United for less money. The stories about Rangers not knowing his contract was up are completely untrue.We wanted to keep him but he wants first team football.Not up for the fight? Sad, he's a Rangers supporter.

kanjo 26,408 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Looking good for the Unders is one thing, being good enough is another. I'm not saying he wouldn't have been a hit in the first team, by all means...but he's not stayed to fight for his place. I can understand why he wants to go and by all means that's football, but what stings me about this is how McCoist said youth would be given a chance, yet only Gallagher for any real game time.

jcb 1,167 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Telfer nearly joined celtic last year, we probably offered him first team football in a bid to make him stay. Looks like we haven't delivered...Celtic were showing an interest in both Charlie and Stuart Urquhart at the end of last season.Mistake in only offering a one year deal for someone who is so highly rated.

simplythebest 11,453 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 He could turn out to be a let down there, or he could be like Robertson.Either way it's depressing that he's turned us down for them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a massive name and a hard act to follow, it's easy to blend into a wee team. If he'd agreed to sign a new contract with Rangers tomorrow morning, I am convinced that he'd have been given his chance next season. He's made his choice though. McLeod, Gallagher and Aird (the latter especially) all battled to get their places in the team and now they all have a reputaiton of first team regulars. If Telfer think's he is that good, he could have looked at any of them.I am not blaming McCoist 100% on it although I would hinder a guess that man management has let him down.

WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Read this from Stuart Urquhart. GOING from Rangers to Coventry could be seen as stepping out of the frying pan and into the fryer.But Stuart Urquhart is adamant he didn't think twice about giving up on his dreams of starring at Ibrox to join the crisis-hit club this summer.The defender rejected a new deal from his boyhood heroes to join Steven Pressley's side as the English League One outfit fight for their survival amid a long-running saga.Gers fans had high hopes for the 18-year-old after he became a regular for the Murray Park youth teams but it is in Sky Blue where Urquhart hopes to shine now."Obviously it was hard to leave because I am a Rangers fan and all my family are Rangers fans, but at the end of the day I moved for football reasons," he told SportTimes."Rangers offered me a contract, but I wasn't happy, I didn't enjoy my last three or four months there. I didn't feel I was getting anywhere."People were saying that if there was ever a time to be a young player at Rangers then last season was it, but I didn't get my chance last season."If I was ever going to get my chance, it would have been after I had played in the First Division. I obviously wasn't in the manager's plans."The youth team coaches told me that the first team weren't asking for me so I thought 'what is the point hanging about in a youth team when I could be down in England?'."I never actually spoke to Ally McCoist, it was the youth team guys that spoke to me. They said they saw me as a long-term prospect for the club, but they were only offering me a year contract. I had to find a new challenge."While Rangers have completed the first stage of their recovery from financial meltdown, the journey is only just beginning for Coventry.Pressley's side play their home fixtures at Northampton's Sixfields Stadium as the administration-hit club faces an uncertain future.Urquhart said: "What is going on at the club didn't come into my mind when I signed."It was purely a football move. The off-field stuff isn't affecting the boys. We are playing really well and they are not taking any notice as to what is happening off the pitch."We are just happy to get on with it and do our jobs."Urquhart is not the only Scot aiming to help Coventry out of their predicament, with former Rangers duo John Fleck and Andy Webster also on the Sky Blues books.And the Scotland youth international is confident he can get his career back on track.He said: "Everybody here knows how good Flecky is, he is different class."There is no doubt that if he keeps doing the business here he will go on to bigger and better things."It is good to have him here and the manager and Andy Webster have been great with me as well."Andy has been helping me with things in training and helping me develop. I look up to him and the manager so it is great to be able to learn from them every day."Hopefully I can impress the manager and get my chance."inShare Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcb 1,167 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Good post Prodigy98. Both Stuart Urquhart and Charlie Telfer should be still be at the club with a number of first team appearances already under their belts.Depressing news re - Charlie but not surprised.
