buster.

Challenging remit. Quite apart from the politics and that he doesn't mention the scheme to raise finance to buy Dave King's shares..... ....Are many people going to be in a position to financially commit on top of current monies going toward the club, at a time when very harsh economic conditions seem to be close ? Ps. I guess some would like to know his views on C1872 purchasing Dave King's shares.

Naw, I thought Gersnetters could speed it up.

Can't get anything right with this guy. Transfer fee wrong, had him down as being Welsh and now get told that I can't spell his surname by a German !! 😁

Should be a decent test tonight against West Ham. Get a better idea of how far we have to go to get up to speed.

Bassey was reported to be in Amsterdam for his medical a couple of days ago. I would have thought he would be announced by some point today. The quicker it is done the quicker Davis can start to get going for us. Ideally, some part of Spurs game at weekend. In 2 weeks it'll be CL and I can't help but feel we'll be going in undercooked and far from ideal shape, several injuries contributing to that.

Run it by your ITK friend !! If he doesn't want to speak just tell him a nod/shake of the heid would suffice. 😄

Did they mention (no) interest ? At this rate, the transfer thread is going to explode soon. All a bit close to CL qualifiers but if you don't qualify directly, this is what can happen. Gio is going to have to be more a magician than a manager for it all to be up to speed on time.

It is mostly about us. We are behind them in terms of preperation and the next couple of weeks need to see us start to pick up some real momentum. The tie is worth a minimum of 7M euros.

If you look back at our record against clubs from Belguim in European competition, it is excellent and whisper it, but I've found these trends tends to continue. Example We tend to stroll by Danish teams, 8 wins, 2 drwaws and 0 defeats...... ...but cross the border(or bridge) and Swedish clubs send us packing, 0 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. We give a good account of ourselves against the Germans but can't do diddly squat against the Spanish. Anyway, back to the Belguims 8 wins 1 draw 1 defeat A couple from the distant past when Compo was a mere lad 59/60 Home and away victories against Anderlecht, 7-2 on aggregate The defeat came with a 4-1 reverse against Standard Liege in a 1962 European Cup quarter Final which put us out 3-4 on aggregate. Fast forward 30 years...... 92/93 Club Brugge (First ever CL Group Stage) Legendary 2-1 comeback at home with 10 men #Nisbetstunner Frustrating draw in Belguim that we should have won. Another nearly 30 years and the other end of the book shelf is 4 wins from 4 in the Steven Gerrard European Wonder years, in 2020/21... Standard Liege revenge 3-2 at Ibrox 0-2 win #Roofestunner Then it was the Antwerp goalfest H: 5-2 A: 3-4 Aggregate: An historic 9-5 I make that 27 goals scored by Rangers in 10 matches

A difference is that they are a couple of weeks ahead of us. Have played 6 friendlies. We are at 2 and a half. They start competitive competition this weekend, with a league game.

What would a para know about the old double paddle approach? Been reading up on your Cockleshell Heroes again ? Huistra was our only successful thruster that night. We really should have won the game.

Will Audrey be at the game ? I'd have to make the effort. Apparently she was desperate to attend our CL game in Bruges back in March 93, but palmed it in the January.

They have since edited it. We'll get a better idea of what shape we are in and if we are firing up front against Spurs and West Ham.

Yes, just looked at UEFA rules and that is it. Don't know how the beeb can get that wrong 😉 Even if it were for seeding, we would have played in Glasgow, second leg. Edit BBC have edited mistake

Other ties in our qualifying path Monaco v PSV Benfica v Midtjylland Kiev v Sturm Graz

Lots saying Belgium. BBC say Ibrox https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62204153 BBC have edited their mistake

Union Saint-Gilloise Don't have a clue what they are like. I am sure someone on here does.....

I don't think it is a good idea to post a pic of yourself on here tbh.

Looks like I fudged identity sometime last week, when I said he would add to the Welsh contingent. I should leave the Transfer thread for you hipsters.

I saw 500k Is the official figure 1.6M ? Most transfers tend to be undisclosed and circulating numbers vary.

Turns out more an investment than emergency signing. - Emergency but not used - Good business #profit Bought for 500K Sold for 3M, potentially rising to 4M I hope that CLGS qualification and League title figure highly within add-on triggers (obviously if he plays his part in them)

With Davis on the cusp of a move, it looks like we will need two players to replace Bassey. Rampaging left back required or is there a youth good enough to cover/replace Borna ?

Today is the day we find out who we will play in the CLQ3. Monaco Sturm Graz Midtjylland o AEK Larnaca Union St.Gilloise Difficult to know exactly what shape the above are in, just as we don't really know what shape we ourselves are in. No preference, it is us that need to get up to speed, very quickly.

I'd along with most would rather we sold, but there won't be a queue. That Derby are the club involved, says a lot in itself. If we were to go ahead with this, then I would imagine Derby would be paying a substantial part of his wage. If they weren't, the deal wouldn't make sense from our perspective.
