Uncle Tony tweets... Might shut the scaremongers up!

Need to go back to buying low and selling high like we did in the 80's and 90's also go for players who see playing for Rangers as a step up or career progression not just a last pay day

Much as I agree with you here, it is simply not going to happen in this day and age.
Good players cannot be bought cheap any more, its as simple as that.

[herman bloom]

I would love it if we got that amount of money for those players. Tarbs and Remy yes, but we couldn't give Cesar away in two transfer windows, Park will just go on a free imo and don;t think we see more than half that for Granero and M'bia.

Would love to be proved totally wrong of course.

I think there are decent players out there for example if we had a decent scouting network we could of got Austin & Phillips when they were at Swindon and Wycombe and cost a fraction of the 10 million we paid for both in the summer

Very true but they would also be unknown. Its a 100% guarantee that if we signed a player no one knew much about for a small fee, they would be written off as rubbish by our fans at once.

wrong players? Matter of opinion with a few.. Mbia, granero, park, remy, tarbs, cesar.. these are good players, just didn't hit it with us (remy and tarbs excluded)
mbia 3-4 mil
granero 5-8 mil
park 1-2 mil
remy 15mil
tarbs 10mil
cesar 1-2mil

plus others whose contracts expire.. these are assets that will leave us in a decent position when they go for us to re-build differently.

Big wages certainly

mbia 3-4 mil - Free transfer contract expires
granero 5-8 mil - Currently injured with ACL
park 1-2 mil - Free transfer contract expires
remy 15mil - I bet we get 10 million max !
tarbs 10mil - if rumours are true figure already agreed at 4 million
cesar 1-2mil - nobody wants him so will either play if we dont renew Green contract or will just rot in the reserves or go out on loan

Maybe some of the divs on here but most people would be happy with younger players with potential

Not many slagged off the signing of Donaldson for example

Great Northholt, you go out and source an owner like that. Let us know when you find one. Probably plenty hanging around in Shepherds Bush Green. As for "Amit" (who as far as we know is only wealthy via his father-in-law) he had the opportunity to buy the club outright but turned it down.

Pretty certain it was Bernie that decided against selling to Amit...

Didn't they move the goal posts at the last min so Amit pulled out

Either Bernie decided against selling to Amit or upped the asking price at the last min

[Norths]

It's quite clear if you have a little read and dig around. 33% - even the figures show that.

So on any important decision made by the board he will always be outvoted 2 to 1 when you consider TF and the other fella (name escapes me) own 66%

Are these the same "divs" that think it's so easy just go out there and get a young manager who's going to buy a load of new young and up and coming players who will instantly gell and win promotion just like that and have a mega rich owner who's from the bush and has a huge love for the club??... or shall we just call these people dreamers?

I just don't get what berating our owner will prove like most rangers fans are doing...
