JohnMc 2,801 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Rangers managers have in the past been told they couldn't pick a player. Normally for financial reasons as going over a certain amount of games triggers a payment. This is different from being told you do need to pick someone of course. I'd be surprised if being told to play someone isn't more widespread than we think. I doubt it happens with young players but I'd be really surprised if directors haven't told a manager he must play a 'star' player no matter their fitness, training or discipline etc. I've also heard of prominent players demanding certain other players are chosen and others aren't. This is not uncommon. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juancornetto 1 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 There's lots of documents and stuff I'd like to pour over sitting on computers or in filing cabinets but I'd LOVE to see the justification for giving Kyle Hutton a new contract . What was the criteria? I imagine it to look like this: 1. Keeps his mouth shut 2. Turns up to training 3. Disnae gamble 4. Like's a Nando's. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 We need a decent manager to be brought in now as a matter of urgency before the magic clipboard turns this season into an even bigger clusterfuck than it already is. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinstein 294 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Am I right that Ball wasn't picked because of a clause in his contract that meant Rangers had to pay out once he played a certain number of games ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juancornetto 1 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 He was actually just about to become a father when he was given the new deal. By that logic Leigh Griffiths should be at Barca on £300k a week :-) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Am I right that Ball wasn't picked because of a clause in his contract that meant Rangers had to pay out once he played a certain number of games ? Yes. In fact the situation was so bad that Ball himself ended up having to pay to play. The money due to Everton was deducted from his salary. We have been a financial disaster for far too long. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Can we not just hire the clipboard??? I did suggest this when I heard Kenny had handed in his notice of resignation. Hire the bloody clipboard and let's get on with the title chase. Seriously though, we really do need a proper manager to be brought in ASAP. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
