There are 250 orange 'parades' per year in Glasgow, more than Belfast and Derry combined. Policing costs the tax payer 1.5 million per year. There are a couple on Sunday. They like to parade, they like to issue statements, they like to contribute the square root of eff all to society. If anyone bothered to video all the walks in Glasgow this year, I reckon they would be banned or severely curtailed for sectarianism.

I remember Duke Street in the 70s. It was like a Hun festival at times. Draw a line from then until now and you see a grass roots movement dying, shedding membership every year, increasingly emasculated by modern day standards of decency

Defoe and Lucas :lol:
Defoe and Lucas would actually be decent signings and better than what they have at present, but I just don't see how they can afford either.

Likewise, Solanke coming up here makes no sense if he has any real ambition of becoming an England internationalist.

EDIT: Just checked their contracts, all of which run for at least another 2 years. So a fee would have to be involved as well as astronomical wages (for an SPFL team, at least). Skrtel would also involve a fee too.



They could afford the wages if they made the bulk of it a loan with no pay back period and that way it's not expenditure on their books and they don't pay any tax.

It would have to go through an Employee Benefit Trust, but it's worth a thought!


:lol: They're going to repeat history aren't they.

What makes even less sense is that they are supposedly going after these players and at the same time they are struggling to negotiate deals for Murphy and Cummings...

There isn't one amongst us, not even tinsoldier, who could've raised their hopes so high this summer as the gobshampooes and lickspittles in the SMSM are going to. It's effing great, they're going to wet their already-pish-stained-pants further thinking about all the superstars on the back pages of these effing rags, and they're going to convince themselves again that they're in with a shout of a effing SNIFF of the league.

The Warbmeister, Murty, Pedro, Murty again and now big Stevie G, big Gessard, every single effing time they replay the same idiotic scripts and nobody has had the presence of mind to say 'hang on, isn't this what happened last time?'.

Nope, all we're going to see this summer is talks of SWOOP and COME AND GET ME PLEA with a liberal sprinkling of DON'T WRECK MY DREAM MOVE.

Then we'll pump them.

Then they'll realise.

Then we'll laugh. Again.

Oh Sevco, never change.

Without sounding to smart arsey,...

Know Gerarrds agent okay Struan Marshall. So knew he would take it if he was offered it. Gary Mac is pally with him as well (the agent) and is a big Sevco/Rangers fan. Been in his company & a nice guy .

So with Gerarrds lack of experience and Gary Mac's loyalties it was always looking favourable. Appreciate people on here thought no chance.

Defoe is on major paper at Bournemouth & Sevco/Huns would have to contribute so cannot see that happening even though 35 yo.

Lucas will not be playing up here period.

Next up will be Hutton from Villa. Had a few Huns salvaging over his performance in the playoff final last night.

Wouldn't be surprised to see them going for Lafferty and Naisy at Hearts. Just rebuild Sir Walter Smiths last side about 10 years later haha!
Wouldn't surprise me.

I'll be shocked if Davis doesn't go back there when he's done in a season
Seen him boarding a flight from Glasgow on Fri night :ph43r:

The slow death of the huns (again) will help increase the speed of the decline too, I hope.

An exclusive?

GERS HIT LIST Rangers want Jermain Defoe, Lucas Leiva and Martin Skrtel as Steven Gerrard steps up summer transfer plans at Ibrox
Gerrard is keen on a one-year loan deal for ex-England team-mate Defoe and a reunion with former Liverpool pal Leiva
Spoiler: click to toggle
Why don't they at the same time come out with an exclusive that we want Messi & Ronaldo for next season (what's the difference :ffs: , bloody rockets the lot of them)

I don't mind it as the gullibles lap it up every time, and every time their sailed down the swanny but GASL or some other 'True Rangers Man' (or absolute crook/chancer to you and me). At least one thing with the Huns, they're consistent (mugs)

It was more to do with the general incredulity that they're going to get some players in, some of whom have a bit of a reputation.

Most people don't have the connections you seem to have, but the response is the same regarding players as it was the rumour of Gerrard.

Personally, I've no idea who they will or won't sign. I expect there will be some shampooe in there, quite a lot probably, but there might be a couple of surprises.

Even if it isn't Defoe and Lucas, hopefully it's a sign that they are continuing down the road of recruiting guys who are past their best on big money

When you look at the names I don't think any are too troubling. Skrtl, past it and always looked shaky. Torres, no chance but definitely past it about 5 years ago. Solanke, who knows, probably better than what they have. Defoe, getting on but still a good finisher. He would have buried most of the chances that Morelos missed this year. Lucas, dream on. How much is that little lot gonna cost? Keep feeding them the names though. It's great sport.

I have a feeling they will front load their signings with 2 or 3, at most, big names e.g. 2 of Lucas, Defoe, Solanke or Skrtel, in this instance.

After that they'll be stuck with the current squad or like for like replacements.

As it stands, the 2 confirmed signings aren't improvements on what they have by any stretch. And 2 of the above four won't win them the league.

Skrtl 60k
Lucas 60k
Defoe 65k
Solanki 20k

Annual turnover 29mill, wages for those four would be 10 million plus another 3 million a year for Gerrard, McGregor and Arfield, on top of whatever the eff Alves is on. Sevconomics :rocker:
