Ramagamma 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Any idea on the other players. I guess this is being nosy, but on the other hand, its nice to see the breakdown of where the money goes. Thought that figure seemed a bit expansive for Broadfoot. I'd be interested too know the relative wages of all our strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyd £11k per week Misser will be on £15k per week Novo lucky to be on £10k per week Velicka havent a clue Naismith probably about £8-£10k per week as well.

BooghyBear 0 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Yeah to be fair, the thought of Broadfoot on £16k a week seemed like a bit of a joke. It's been reported Hemdani, a player we're actively trying to get rid of, due to his high wages, is on £17k a week. So if anyone believes Broadfoot is on £1 grand a week less, they're taking something I wouldn't want to go near. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stardog 11 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Aug 24 2007 By David Mccarthy MURRAY TELLS RANGERS AGM ... But Ibrox chief reveals there's no way he was prepared to break wages structure just to pip Celtic for Scott Brown SIR DAVID MURRAY provided more than 900 Rangers share-holders with a startling insight into the club's wage policy yesterday as he launched a fierce defence of his decision not to sign Scott Brown. Murray revealed Rangers have smashed the budget he set Walter Smith by more than £3million during the transfer window. But the Ibrox chairman told the Rangers agm that matching the financial offer made to Brown by Celtic in the summer would have forced him to shred his pay structure - and made it impossible to re-sign his existing Scottish stars when their contracts expire. Murray, in typical bullish style, didn't wait to be quizzed on why Celtic beat Rangers to the signature of the most-wanted Scottish player of the summer. He launched straight into a detailed explanation that showed kids breaking into the first team can earn £2000 a week, rising to £6000 if they stay there. They can then expect to double that sum if they earn a contract extension. Murray, who bossed the agm from a 10-man top table, said: "On May 31, Walter (Smith), Martin (Bain) and I had a meeting in my office. We had targets on a list and the only two people we didn't buy were young Steven Naismith and Scott Brown. "I made it quite clear that we could meet the fee for Scott Brown and we wanted him. "But we have a wage structure for all the Scots boys. When they break into the team they are on £1000- £2000 a week; if they become regulars, they are on £5000-£6000 a week and if they become assets to the team and sign extended contracts, they get between £10,000-£12,000 a week. "We spoke to Scott Brown and he had been offered £25,000 a week and £3000 a game. That would have blown open our wage structure. How would we be able to re-sign Alan Hutton, Allan McGregor, Kris Boyd, Charlie Adam? "As far as young Naismith is concerned, we have a price that the manager feels he is worth and we weren't prepared to pay more. I think we have used that money wisely in bringing in Daniel Cousin." With Smith sitting at the end of the table, Murray joked that he wasn't putting any pressure on him but did mention a "rather important" Champions League qualifier in Belgrade next week. He knows Rangers will earn a minimum of £10m from qualification - which is roughly the net outlay they've had in the transfer market this summer. The chairman added: "When Walter came back he asked us what the budget would be in the summer. "We believed it would be £6m to £7m and we had already spent £2m on Kevin Thomson and Davie Weir. "There was no fee for Weir but there were signing-ons and agent fees. But he has not been expensive and has been a great asset to the club. "As of today, we have spent £12.9m and brought in just over £2m. So we have spent just over £10m, which is above budget. But I think we all agree that it wouldn't have been the same team if we hadn't added Steven Whittaker and Daniel Cousin at the last minute. "We've overstepped the budget because we want to win. We have shown our commitment by backing Walter and I genuinely believe we have got some men in the team. "I remember sitting here last year and someone said: 'Can you not get somebody to heid the baw?' Well, I think we've got somebody who can heid the baw now at the back." That presumably was a reference to Carlos Cuellar, the Spaniard who has slotted in superbly to the Rangers back four since signing from Osasuna - but it was the transfer of another central defender, Jean-Alain Boumsong, that brought the police to the doors of Ibrox earlier this year. Murray vehemently insisted that Rangers had done nothing wrong but rejected a request from a shareholder that the club never deals with the agent, Willie Mackay, again. He said: "The police inquiry has been a slur on the club. We had externally audited the paperwork on the Boumsong deal. "I can assure you I am not in the practice of letting money go elsewhere. We have had it audited - it is clean. "You have to have an open mind when an agent comes to you with a player. Should we not have spoken to Scott Brown because he has the same agent? "You make sure your paperwork is correct and that you do nothing wrong. You make sure you can be scrutinised at a later date, not only in your dealings with one agent but with all agents. "Believe me, I would have nothing to do with anything of that nature and I think you'll find that when the inquiries are complete, we will be satisfied with the outcome. "We are not stupid and I am satisfied with the behaviour, ethics and workings of all the people at this football club." There was no questioning or criticism of the club's loss of £5.1m for the year. Or for the net debt of £16.5m. But Murray batted away an accusation from a shareholder that he and the club were "embarrassed to be British" because the Union Flag was no longer flown by the tunnel before matches. He said: "We're Scottish and British. Why should we be embarrassed about that." The chairman did most of the talking, backed up on occasion by Bain, who confirmed that the club was taking their argument that having three Under-21 players on the bench should be scrapped to the SPL. But it was when manager Smith spoke that most folk edged forward on their seats. He was asked why Celtic were able to sign Scott McDonald when Rangers had made an unsuccessful bid for him in January. Smith said: "We made an inquiry, not a bid for Scott McDonald. I was looking at a number of players because at that time I thought we maybe needed something to help us clinch second place in the league. "I spoke to Maurice Malpas and he was reluctant to let the player go at that time. He agreed to let him go in the summer and Celtic came in for him. "Our choice was to sit down and look elsewhere in the summer time. "We didn't consider him to be a different player in the summer than he was in January, it was simply that the circumstances were different." Asked if there would be additions to the squad before the transfer window closes, he added: "We have 27 players and it is too big a squad. The Under-21 ruling means it is hard to give players games or even sit them on the bench. "We would like to add another one or two players before the end of the transfer window but to do that we will have to rid ourselves of one or two others. If they don't, we are happy to go with the squad we have at present." Among the other issues addressed were the re-election to the board of John Greig and Alastair Johnston - and an assurance from the chairman that a fan would be on the top table at next year's agm. Murray said: "We have no problem with this and this time next year there will be a 100 per cent true elected supporter on the board - not that you can't call someone like John Greig a true supporter. "But we are working on a document that will be distributed to the supporters in a month's time and I can confirm that we will have a democratically elected member of a supporters' group on the board the next time we are here." 'We could have met the fee for Brown and wanted him' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritishBear 34 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Does that mean that Adam is on the same as Boyd? He got a 5yr contract a while back, ffs we will never get rid of him. Surely pay should be based on ability and judged on an individual basis. This is why we can't get rid of players, they get far too much and it's all apparently based on their nationality not their ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
