SteveJ 743 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 You could contract it out for a lot lessAs Eagle has pointed out already, Jimmy will not clean the kit, he will manage the contractors or most likely the in house staff at Auchenhowie. He will, however, take sole responsibility of ensuring the first team kit is in order for match day - for which he gets the privilege of wearing a Rangers suit and tie!Seriously though, there are many options open to the club.

WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I find this incredibly hard to believe.I'm 99% sure that, in his book, McCulloch talks about the low-earning backroom staff who the players took a cut for during administration; he referred to Bell specifically.

That equates to £16.5k per week, meaning he was on £22k per week before his pay cut. I am sure he does not know the value of money, regardless of his birth place.

Not entitled to an opinion now, no?You genuinely don't know what I'm disagreeing with? I made the original statement, you commented on it. I'm obviously disagreeing with the suggestion that McCulloch doesn't know the value of money.As I already mentioned, he referred to lesser-paid backroom staff in his book and included Bell in this, along with admin staff and so on. I highly doubt that he would consider £3K per-week to be little.Also, get your inferiority complex to fuck. "Not entitled to an opinion, no?"

HeHaw 513 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 From what I understand the guy and his son has been with us for Years but at the end of the day we can't justify those sort of wages whilst the club is in the situation that it is. In all fairness these guys should have been let go a few years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
