Summer transfer window: Official ins/outs and transfer rumours

Much will depend also if any further players can be moved on. That may be difficult of course given the salaries they're on -
Neither McColl or King are prepared to buy out existing shareholders. Let's move on
-
you still don't believe the nonsense that DK is going to invest £50m do you ?
-
rangers must be the only club anywhere who have so-called supporters are actively seeking to destroy it..........
-
and the investment will come from where ? deep pockets dave ?
-
they tried the 'tough guy' approach 10 years ago when Roger Mitchell was the joke figure running the SPL. SKY told them to take it or leave it and they made this laughable attempt to set up their own TV channel. It failed and they went back to SKY to be told the offer was off the table so they went to the BBC and got a deal worth peanuts - about £4m p.a as I recall
-
When the 10 SPL chairmen chose to vote Rangers out the SPL there was a price to be paid for that. Now they're paying that price. A paltry TV deal in comparison to other TV deals.
-
You forget that in order to purchase Rangers Whyte had to clear Rangers debts which he did by obtaining funds from Ticketus which he shouldn't have got. He did this by 'fraudulent misrepresentation' for which he lost his final appeal at the end of last year.The fact remains LBG still have some £18m of this money deposited which are the proceeds of fraud. Wonder why the Insolvency Service got involved? They are of course Vince Cable's dept and his views on UK banks are well known. I suspect LBG may be forced to hand that money back to Ticketus once the Insolvency Service complete their investigation
-
And this Rangers man Muir had no idea of Whyte's business background despite warnings from Alistair Johnston and Jeff Randall amongst others? And he thought it a good idea for Rangers to be sold to Whyte as LBG withdrew all credit facilities for Rangers?
-
That's what Fullerton told McMurdo. Do you believe him? If they were in charge of LBG's Scottish business division had they not some sort of responsibility for all business accounts don't you think?
-
The two in charge of LBG's Scottish business division at that time were our old chum Manus Joseph Fullerton(Celtic trust & low level paper gatherer for Harper McLeod during the SPL dual contracts witch hunt) and his sidekick Archibald Gerard Kane. Wonder where their allegiances lie? Say no more
-
Really? Why then did LBG go on funding SDM after he'd sold Rangers to you-know-who?
-
All 42 clubs got full membership when the SPFL was formed
-
They weren't concerned about Rangers debt? Why then did they put Donald Muir on the board? Not for one minute do I believe SDM willingly sold to Whyte. I believe was forced to do so by those in charge of LBG at the time. You know who they were don't you?
-
the question that should have been asked is why LBG were so concerned about Rangers debt which was a paltry 3% of the MIH debt of over £700m.
-
the deal liewell & Doncaster 'negotiated' is worth peanuts compared to what other countries get from their TV deals
-
Of course they were in a poor negotiating position - they had just allowed Rangers to be voted out the SPL meaning no OF games. The TV companies aren't daft. No OF games means an almighty drop in viewers. A while back the president of La Liga was asked what would happen if either Real or Barca got relegated and he said it was inconceivable because it could destroy all the commercial deals signed for La Liga. Maybe the SPL (now the SPFL) should have thought likewise. They cannot even get a sponsor as it stands
-
I don't think anyone other than Doncaster & Liewell knew anything about what was involved in the tv deal they signed. Wonder if there are any other hidden gems in this tv deal?
-
Perhaps we're now beginning to see why Doncaster & Liewell were reluctant to let anyone see the details of this SKY deal they signed. Don't forget Longmuir, when he was at the SFL, supposedly never got to see it.
-
the deal is apparently worth £15m p.a. - one EPL game is worth more than that !!!!! The Australian 'A' League gets double what the SPFL signed up to ............or should that be what Doncaster & Liewell signed up to
-
Try reading the article written by the LAWMAN on RM and you'll get a better idea of where the money went. No it wasn't all spent well & he concedes that but the suggestion it was all wasted is nonsense. Running a club the size of Rangers in the lower leagues was never going to be a money-maker unless you were to pay everyone £200 p.w. as some would suggest
-
No we don't know the board's plans. I've critiscised them for this if you've read my posts. They're doing nothing more than treading water in the boardroom as far as I'm concerned but I'm not convinced King & Co are a credible alternative until someone like King becomes aserious player in all of this & starts buying a shareholding & stops using the excuse that he won't line shareholders' pockets
-
One wonders if the SPFL can meet its financial obligations if it's getting this sort of bill from TV companies. It can't even get a sponsor either. When Doncaster & Liewell signed that derisory SKY deal at the start of last season to try & prove they didn't need Rangers they sold Scottish football down the river. Clubs in the top division are literally living hand to mouth on annual club wage bills of between £1m to £1.5m p.a. which is peanuts. Now there's this..........
