Hindsight now may have seen some make different choices, as you say though it's a wonderful thing in many circumstances. Players? So we're not just defending Davis now it's the rest of the rhats?

No I'm defending Davis in general, but hindsight as you pointed out could go wider. The only two players I hold a grudge towards is Naismith n Whittaker for their conduct in that press conference and what they said. For the rest, we dont know the reasons behind what unfolded, we will never know conversations had, legal advice given to players etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanFerguson2013 393 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 He is as big a traitor as Naismith and the others. I was massively disappointed at his actions and do not care where he ends up. Any time I see him on TV I am reminded that he chose to walk away. I thought he was True Blue, more fool me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike McGregor and co who walked away for fuck all. So to me he is not in the same bracket as McGregor and co who shafted us, it's the same with wee Aluko, he paid to come to us so I did not blame him leaving. But Lafferty, Whittaker , Naismith , McGregir etc ever turn out for us again I walk away from Rangers as they are dead in my eyes and many many other fans eyes. The fee Southampton paid was peanuts compared to his value. They only paid it because Rangers were taking legal action to claim fees for the deserters. Aluko is the only name you mention who comes out with any credit as his contract had expired and hadn't been offered a new one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyscott1963 18,016 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Absolutely never stick up for any player leaving,even considering the circumstances that were put to them by a scoundrel and conman like CG,and you have to wonder what the players rep namely that cunt Fraser Wishart actually told them would happen as none have actually came out and said what they were told at the time. Feel free to correct me, but as far as I can remember the papers at the time said that Steven Davis refused to leave till Rangers got a fee. Still say that I'm not sure what I would have done in his position being responsible for a young family and not knowing what was going to happen the next day never mind a couple of years down the road. Steven Davis is the only one of the bunch I would have sympathy for if they came out and told us exactly what they were told and advised to do considering the legal side of things.

islanderbear84 608 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I was gutted when steven davis left us and in the manner in which he did. For anyone who is a self proclaimed diehard bluenose, to then turn around and leave the club and the fans in their hour of need is unforgivable. Yes there was a great deal of uncertainty surrounding how we would move forward, but there would be uncertainty in his new club also, he could not say for sure how his future would pan out where he moved to. The one thing that would have been certain about his future was that there would always be a rangers for him to play for, a wage for playing for them and 52000 fans cheering you on every match, and that as a diehard rangers fan should always be more than enough.

Ger_Scott 73 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Cracking wee player who'd still be here were it not for Sir Duped putting us in the shite. Any transfer fee would likely have been pocketed and put towards Green's defence lawyers or Imran's fugitive fund. Davis was no doubt advised to get out when these clowns appeared.

7troop 187 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 There were certainly players who didn't give a second thought to Rangers and went on to further insult the club and fans with statements after they left. Davis isn't one of them imo. The reality of being in the shitty situation he found himself in was I'm sure not as straight forward as we all think. I hold no grudge against Davis Tbh and I'm positive that most of the people criticising him leaving would have done exactly the same thing in the same position.

They didn't have to pay us anything, it was simply goodwill from them. Other players like Edu, Goian and Bocanegra (all full internationalists at the time aswell) had the good gracious to do this out of respect for the club and the fans. Davis, along with the other so-called Rangers men like McGregor and Naismith, fucked off leaving the club in the lurch at a time when we were desperate for any kind of cash. Goian and Bocanegra also got pay-offs to leave early. Even when Bocanegra had a club lined up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These two annoy me too and nothing ever get's mentioned about it and people gush over Boca. They had no intention of staying with us for the journey (fair enough) but they went out on loan and then took half a million quid each in pay off's to quit then found new clubs anyway.

These guys pay their money and are entitled to an opinion, as are you, however for you to say that means they hate Rangers or don't like following the club is stupid and not in anyway debating the point in hand. Davis is not a Rangers man and it was only a bit of class from Southampton that got us a fee for him. You're supposed to be a Rangers fan yet you constantly treat individuals like they're bigger than the club. McCoist was a prime example and now Davis.
