buster. 5,186 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Great News! But why does the article have to drift and maintain into the Tav and Wag non-story? Good news and it will hopefully help settle squad as the games approach. ---------- The TavWag angle is obviously not a "non-story" and is what will always happen at football clubs. Their agent(s) may have been responsible for getting it into the press last week. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,744 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Honestly, while this is all interesting, one way (Warburton) or another (Tav & Wags), it's rather pointless too. People who have contracts running for a couple of years or more need not to sign extensions, fine if they do, shrug of the shoulder if they don't. Both players had fine seasons for us in the Championship, we shall see how they cope with the real thing and REAL Glasgow pressure. They might become smashing hits, or their standards will be exposed. Just an observation, BTW. Right now, IMHO, a contract extension means more money if someone happens by in January, should either or both of them start to shine again. Warburton ... while it is good to have him and even better if he's there for longer, we shouldn't likewise fool ourselves. If the teams ends up on a poor run and lags behind in the league and drops out of the cups, guess what will happen? We had enough "no Plan B" discussions last season. And then ... mind you ... a longer contract may come back to haunt us. Again, just objective observations without the Blue glasses on. As a Bear, I'm over the moon that he's staying.

MacK1950 2,376 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 It is good news but strange that it hasn't been confirmed on Rangers official site. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTP 0 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Great news. The best signing of the summer without a doubt. Regarding Tav/Wag, let's see how they do in the top league before offering them an early pay rise. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Great news. The best signing of the summer without a doubt. Regarding Tav/Wag, let's see how they do in the top league before offering them an early pay rise. I agree but disagree if that makes sense. It depends on what they were brought in on. If they were brought in on Championship wages then they deserve a step up. It depends what is written in their contract. If it states it should be revised per season or level then it is a matter of finding a level both agree on. Rangers wouldn't be doing a good job if they accepted the first offer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooponthewing 1,139 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Re Tav/Waggy I could understand it if they were asking after a good first half of the season and looked sharp in the top division. Also waggy missed the end of the season through injury. Two years left on their contracts, let's see their form in with the big boys before contract extensions/wage increases. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing about this though is both(and all players)will have to perform well if they want a move elsewhere! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Dynamo 128 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Tbf Waghorn and Tavernier both have to prove they can take it to the next level. Tavernier in particular was found wanting several times last season. Good news about Warburton and Weir though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
