loyalfollower 1,543 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 He is right but we don't have the time to do it all at once. This is exactly warburton was brought in and I said back in august when all we signed was freebies before garner. Another manager would've demanded a good budget to at least make a fist of it vs the tims but the fact is warburton is happy to do the developing side of things which is great.. whats not great is the fact that this could take another 3-4 years to bear fruit and the board of Rangers men are literally handing the scum 10-11 in a row. What real Rangers men would do that? Get the first team in order and at least Europa league stages every year whilst building the good foundations for the next 10 years.

GWR1979 1,964 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 If Weir thinks it's going to take 100 million to catch the tarriers then he is as well chucking it. 2 central defenders Ball winning strong midfielder Proven Goalscorer If we can get these kind of players we will start to bridge the gap. I already think it Is to late for Warburton and Weir 100 million aye nae bother Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivybank 4,580 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 The worst thing about the interview is not the money comment that was just a throwaway line pounced on by the media. It's when weir said that what they do is build for the future ? Wtf is he on about, senderos,hill,Miller, bringing in 2 loan signings we have no chance of signing (like ball and zelalem last year) signing journeymen players(tav ,Kiernan,waggie,moh,etc) how the fk can that be laying foundations for the future?

gogzy 31,195 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 In other words, we aint getting any money spent on the team right? also what a lot of absolute pish saying 100m wouldn't be enough to bridge the gap in teams. it could be done with somewhere around 20-30 max IMO.

Him and Warburton can only play with the cards they've got. He doesn't want to be in this position as much as we don't. What this interview says to me is we're a million miles off Celtic and we don't have a board with enough money to bridge the gap.

We forget this is largely the same Celtic team who dropped points left right and centre last season. They have recruited with relatively minimal outlay, and if we can get some decent frees and spend 4-5mill on a few key players, and lock down the likes of McKay, burt and gilmour, then we can really compete.

Senderos hill and Miller will be the experience he talks about adding and Tavernier waghorn etc are the ones he rightly or wrongly thinks can improve over time. thats my take on it and it's not weir or even warburton we should be insulting-the ones in charge brought them in knowing what route they wanted to go down Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonofbear 398 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Its not just about having expensive skilful players - its also about having the right attitude. At the moment the attitude emanating from the board down is fucking dreadful and certainly not what I expect from my club. Time for them to fuck off if they can't invest properly and do a job that only requires about £20m. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
