Sander2006 50 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 RANGERS ace Lewis MacLeod is set to complete a £1m move to English Championship side Brentford. The 20-year-old forward is in London undergoing a medical this morning and the deal could be confirmed as early as this evening with the player completing the move as soon as the transfer window opens on January 1. MacLeod has been a stand out for Rangers in an otherwise grim season and Brentford assistant David Weir has watched the player on several occasions. He has struck eight goals in 21 games and received a call-up for Scotland duty ahead of last month's double header against Ireland and England. Former Gers defender Weir took a glowing report back to Brentford boss Mark Warburton and the Griffin Park club are now close to winning the race for the players signature, with a £1m fee agreed in principle. We revealed earlier this month that clubs were preparing to swoop for the Scotland under 21 star with Rangers desperate for cash. Newcastle, Aston Villa and Everton were all linked with a move for MacLeod but it now looks as if Brentford, currently sitting sixth in the Championship, will land a bargain £1m buy. source - http://www.<No links to this website>/sport/football/football-transfer-news/rangers-star-lewis-macleod-undergoing-4892494?

trueblueal 2,117 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Everything hat isn't nailed down is about to be sold in my opinion. Selling before the administrator let's guys go for even less? We've been prepped for this eventuality by the paid bloggers who have been hinting that Ashley is too late. I think admin must suit someone with influence. Someone who is the main creditor and can have an element of control over the process. That's my theory anyway make of it what you will.

Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 We need the Fans back in numbers to prevent admin but Admin will suit some agendas and not necessarily the money men. Good luck to young Macleod,I hope it works for him.He'll now see how professional coaches train their players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Most Fans support the Team Donald T,the Board doesn't come into it. If you've never meet supporters of the Board,then sadly,you don't get out much,maybe if you weren't boycotting,you'd meet people who actually support Rangers,not suits or fannies groups for that matter.

j1mgg 3,766 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 We have to generate money and cut costs as we don't have enough money coming in, be it from ticket sales, sponsorship or retail.The major drain on our wages are players and management, and we will have to do out best to get rid of what we can.

chris182 6,372 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Was always going to happen. The longer that folk fuck about with the ownership of the club and their petty squabbles the worse it will be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1872 21,414 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 It's fucking heartbreaking considering guys like Black, Law, Daly, Shiels, Jig, Miller, Templeton and Boyd are taking about £100k out the club a week. Not one of them has kicked a ball for us all season- fucking heartbreaking! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docspawn 418 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Surely it would have best to wait till new manager in place and the Jan bidding started. Even possibly keeping for couple more years and selling on once capped and won prem league ! He'd potentially be a 5mil + playerFFS, every week is worse than last. Sick of this Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSURRENDERSTEFANKLOS 33 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Something big is going to happen. There's no coincidence the board want him sold ASAP to raise cash. As much as I hate the board at least they are selling rather than taking on more debt. If it's not Admin 2 it will be a big investment from someone. And IMO it's going to happen soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonaldTSterling 35 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Anyone with under 7 months left on that contract should at least be attempted to be moved on in JanuaryEasier said than done. But these guys aren't interested in playing for us. Play offs at best but we can't trust these guys over x amount of play off games to get us back Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
