NorthBank Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Rangers had to borrow £10M last month just to keep the lights on as they could not afford to pay wages. Now this club has signed 5 players on loan when they cannot afford the wages of the players they have. These loan signings could make the difference between them being promoted or not to the disadvantage of clubs such as Ross County, Motherwell and St Mirren. Should these loan signing be cancelled by the SPFL as Rangers are clearly spending what they do not have to gain an unfair advantage (again)? If one of these Newcastle loanees scored a play-off winner against us I would not be a happy man when my Club is only paying what it can afford. Time for the SFA to introduce strict financial rules to stop this cheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Supposedly getting them for zilch. Which is IMO annoying as f**k but they aren't breaking any rules so what can you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramagamma Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Agreed Deeboy, even if they are up to no good, it's not murder, financial loopholes are there to be exploited. No morals in finance I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time for the SFA to introduce strict financial rules to stop this cheating. Question - how much of the wages of Esmael Goncalves were St Mirren paying? It would have been zero, or very close to zero, and St Mirren would have justified it by saying it was all they could afford. So should Hearts fans be annoyed about the 2013 League Cup Final? Rangers can't afford any new players, so are using connections they have within the game to get loan deals for next to nothing. Again, your club certainly would never do that so I guess you're entitled to say what you are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7-2 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 It's relevant not because of NewRangers but because it highlights what a farce the loan system has become. It's ridiculous that any club can bring in so many ringers, from the same loaning club, at the same time to help them gain promotion or avoid relegation. The OP's right for the wrong reason. Sporting integrity's taken a massive hit here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Insanity Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I highly doubt St Mirren were playing close to zero for Goncalves wages, they'll have made a reasonable contribution. I have no problem with teams filling their players up with loanees within the rules, but the way Ashley is ripping the piss out of the SFA on the dual interest issue is embarrassing, and unsurprisingly they're doing nothing about it.

Both Ashley and the club have been cited by the SFA and have a hearing coming up fairly soon. What exactly do you expect the SFA to do on top of that? They can't stop him buying shares in a company and they can't stop Rangers from making transfers which are within FIFA rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Come on, it's funny as f**k. Mike Ashley loans money to Sevco, which they then get to use to subsidise Mike Ashley's wage bill at Newcastle. If Wonga did football transfers...

That was the point, neither side did anything wrong by using loanees. I highly doubt St Mirren were playing close to zero for Goncalves wages, they'll have made a reasonable contribution. Really? I'm not so sure given when he came in that they would have much, if any, budget left over to make a reasonable contribution to his wage. He wouldn't have been on peanuts.
