TBH, I would not like to see him back, i'd rather we gave Aaron/Fleck a chance
-
Don't be silly............don't you know it's all the Rangers fans fault ? :devil:
-
Collection buckets @ Ibrox on match days
-
That is the current state of our great club !!!!
-
Ok, but surely it is wrong to prejudge any player untill they get a sustained run in their correct position.He cost a lot of money and was bought as a striker,so all I am saying is now is the time to see what he can do, no point in spending a lot of cash,that we don't have, and not give the guy a chance
-
Well, how can anyone say no ?,he has not had a run in his favoured position so he should get a run there now and time will tell, how do we know if Aron/Fleck will perform if they don't get a chance ?
-
Time for Lafferty to step up to the plate ???
-
Time for the Gers fans to dip into their pockets !!

I'll try my best m8

ANDY WEBSTER was back in Rangers colours today as a host of top team stars were involved in a closed door match with Morton at Murray Park. The former Hearts centre back has had a torrid time with injuries in the past two years and even had more probems during a loan spell at Bristol City in the first half of the season. However, he looked in good shape today as a number of players got some action in a 1-0 win over the Greenock side, who had former Gretna hero and current Real Salt Lake striker Kenny Deuchar in their ranks due to the MLS off-season. Chris Burke - linked today with a move to Cardiff City - scored the only goal of the game. RANGERS: Alexander; Whittaker, Dailly (Wilson 70), Webster, Smith; Burke (Aaron 54), Naismith, Adam, Beasley (Efrem 54); Lafferty (Fleck 44), Velicka

One of the biggest surprises in transferland today is the announcement that Rangers will almost certainly sell Kris Boyd to Birmingham by the end of the week. The striker has scored a whopping twenty goals already this season, and has been the Gers top scorer for three seasons running. Understandably, his sale to a Championship side for just Ã?£3.5m has raised more than a few eyebrows in the Scottish capital [er, of football - Ed.]. Captain Barry Ferguson is also said to be on the move for a similar price, although Walter Smith this week denied a move from Newcastle Utd for the player. Owner Sir David Murray has made no secret of his desire to trim down his squad, arguing that the club lost Ã?£10m in projected revenues when they dismally crashed out of the Champions League qualifiers. During an emergency transfer strategy meeting, Smith and Murray reportedly agreed that Allan McGregor, Madjid Bougherra, Pedro Mendes, Steve Davis and Kevin Thomson are ââ?¬Å?untouchableââ?¬Â, but will deal with their estimated Ã?£20m debt by shifting ten players. According to whispers on talkSPORT this morning, however, the entire first team is up for grabs. What exactly is going on north of the border? Is David Murray in a deeper financial mire than he is letting on, or is his fire sale simply a lesson in how not to run a football club? Let us know your opinion on the matter below. http://www.thespoiler.co.uk/index.php/2009/01/07/are-glasgow-rangers-in-big-financial-trouble

Chelsea's billionaire owner Roman Abramovich has been toppled from the summit of the Football Rich List, published on Wednesday in the new issue of FourFourTwo magazine. Abramovich has lost Ã?£3bn in the recession and is now worth Ã?£7bn. That's less than half the wealth of the new man at the top of the list, Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan, who is estimated to be worth Ã?£15bn. The people on the sixth Football Rich List, researched and published annually by FourFourTwo, are worth a total of Ã?£61billion. The list includes 11 billionaires and 25 new entries. Although some of the new entries are foreign ââ?¬â?? like Sheikh Mansour and the new No.2 Lakshmi Mittal, who has joined Formula 1 entrepreneurs Bernie Ecclestone and Flavio Briatore in investing in QPR ââ?¬â?? only a third of those on the list are from overseas, with the 64 Brits including three WAGs. The Top 20 on the Football Rich List are: 1. Shekh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nayan (Manchester City) Ã?£15bn 2. Lakshmi Mittal & family (QPR) Ã?£12.5bn 3. Roman Abramovich (Chelsea) Ã?£7bn 4. Joe Lewis (Tottenham Hotspur) Ã?£2.5bn 5. Bernie & Slavica Ecclestone (QPR) Ã?£2.4bn 6. Stanley Kroenke (Arsenal) Ã?£2.245bn 7. Alisher Usmanov (Arsenal) Ã?£1.5bn 8= Lord Grantchester & The Moores Family (Everton) Ã?£1.2bn 8= Dermot Desmond (Celtic) Ã?£1.2bn 10= Lord Ashcroft (Watford) Ã?£1.1bn 10= Malcolm Glazer & family (Manchester United) Ã?£1.1bn 12. Simon Keswick (Cheltenham Town) Ã?£966m 13. Trevor Hemmings (Preston North End) Ã?£900m 14. Mike Ashley (Newcastle United) Ã?£800m 15. Randy Lerner (Aston Villa) Ã?£750m 16. Tom Hicks (Liverpool) Ã?£700m 17. The Walker Family (Blackburn Rovers) Ã?£660m 18. Mohammed al-Fayed (Fulham) Ã?£650m 19. Sir David Murray (Glasgow Rangers) Ã?£600m 20. Steve Morgan (Wolves) Ã?£400m The new England manager Fabio Capello is also a new entry worth an estimated Ã?£25m with a Ã?£6m a year contract and a Ã?£10m private art collection and Sir Elton John ââ?¬â?? who has rekindled his interest in Watford ââ?¬â?? is a new entry at No.28 with a Ã?£235m fortune. However, Sir Elton may not have chosen a wise time to get back in the game. The recession may not have hurt football yet, but financial expert Professor Tom Cannon thinks clubs will soon start feeling the pinch. "Season tickets will probably be down by about 10 percent but renewals will be down by at least 15 or 20 percent," said Professor Cannon. "That's where the problems will be as you go down the divisions." More from Professor Cannon on the dangers to football And FourFourTwo Editor-in-Chief Hugh Sleight is similarly worried about football's financial future. ââ?¬Å?Judging by this list, football is the last remaining financial bubble," he said. "The combined wealth of our Top 100 is now Ã?£61 billion, compared with Ã?£41.7 billion last year and Ã?£20.45 billion in the first-ever Football Rich List in 2003. ââ?¬Å?Weââ?¬â?¢ve also got 25 new entries in the 100, primarily because of the continued rush to invest in British football over the last 12 months. ââ?¬Å?But the landscape has already changed dramatically because of the recession. As Arsene Wenger rightly pointed out, football will suffer just like any other industry. "So far there seems to be a time lag but as economic conditions continue to bite, clubs and owners will feel the effect and it will then be interesting to see the reactions of these very wealthy men as they see their fortunes disappearing. In 12 monthsââ?¬â?¢ time, this list could look very different indeed.ââ?¬Â http://fourfourtwo.com/news/england/23107/default.aspx

If it is the case that we are in financial dire straits,which obviously we are,and have to sell players to bring in cash,what is the point in wasting more cash on mediocre players that IMO won't improve us on the park ?.If we sell because of financial difficulties then surely it is time to throw in a couple of youths or fringe players,i'm thinking Edu here or Aaron or Fleck, we cannot keep wasting money

'' Aye but you've got to give credit to Celtic for their tremendous consistency ''
-
I wonder who the next one out the door will be ?
-
Lafferty will get his chance now I would presume
-
I've said it before and will say it again, ALL RANGERS PLAYERS ARE FOR SALE
