my understanding from yesterday was that unless there were cold hard undisputable facts nobody should talk about anything otherwise they'll be told they have no clue what they are on about...

just sayin...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
well you understood wrong...

if your gonna make factual statements then yeah you should know the facts.

If your gonna say It would appear, or it looks like from (source) that .....

then they are not factual statements.

like I said it would appear we paid half the amount celtic did to get their squad together.

and it would appear that Duffy cost celtic more than double what rangers paid for ramsey

you still cant put forward a legit argument to counter what I suggest though can you?! there is a reason why you are all dodging it!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There has been.

The net spend was the counter argument.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
your an idiot man....

so I say we have spent almost half the amount as celtic did for their current squads ...... celtic fans say Im talking nonesense, i say prove me wrong.


and your repsonse is "net spend"

did rangers spend about half as much in fees as celtic to get their squads ??


----------------------------------------------------------------------


It’s not my fault you don’t understand what constitutes a counter argument.

Are we only to debate on your terms? Is that how this should work?

Said it earlier-you can frame any argument you want to have the outcome you want. If you narrow the parameters, then it’s not a debate.

No one has said Celtic haven’t spent more-what’s been offered to you is a bigger picture. You don’t like that though, because it doesn’t suit your position. That’s fine.

The net spend was the counter argument.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

So given Real Madrid’s net spend last two seasons, has been them generating income. And Hibs net spend is also similar to Celtic’s over last couple seasons..

Then they are all comparable? Rangers obv aren’t since we are bad and have a bad net spend.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don’t even know what point you’re driving at here-it’s like you’ve just thrown up on your keyboard in the hood something will come out.

Just pointing out how focusing on net spend is ridiculously stupid.

Na give it time we will spend big on bringing in Andy carroll on loan ..... we can all talk about how he will skoosh the league if and when he is fit

posted on 25/5/22

show you that rangers paid almost half the amount in fees to assemble our their squad as celtic paid for theirs.

---------------------

Ok so ive done the mates but it comes with an asterik

Rangers Squad - £27.676m
Celtic Squad - £47.024m

However a caveat is that of the money we have spent £21.65m worth of players didnt appear this season which brings it down to £25.37m

Make of that what you will

It is, if that’s all you focus on. It’s just as stupid as focusing only on fees paid.

The debate is far wider than that-starting squad, wages, etc all should come into it.

But it was one of your own who started the ridiculous thing. You guys just don’t like when these other areas are raised.

i addressed the squad one earlier?

i don't know what Duffy's deal cost us, nor do i know what Ramseys deal cost rangers.

and if i don't know 100% then i shouldn't say should i.

only you are allowed to do that remember...

Completely agree it’s silly to focus on it alone.

But to go back to your earlier reply to me, as I said Ange deserved plaudits but had a spent a lot.
And received s bitter response questioning Celtics net spend, Rangers net spend, and Rangers success in last 11 years.

So it was brought up by a Celtic fan, and seems to be an excuse for spending. Not than any excuse is needed, just that there’s an expectation of success with spending obv. Same way Rangers had an expectation of success given squad we’d built over last few years.

LIke i said you cant make factual statments if you dont have the facts. you can still post your opinion or your finding on the info you gathered. up to others to then see if thats true or not if they feel the need.

ce;tic fans having some real trouble here some REAL REAL trouble it seems.

I am not foscusing on this solely ..... im not saying it means we are better.

ALL im saying is that it appears we spent on fees about half the amount as celtic did to assemble our squad and how thats a good achievement for us.

i dont know why it bothers so many on here.

they could either just post info that suggest im wrong or just accept it as it is and move on!

‘Completely agree it’s silly to focus on it alone.’

Rest of the comment completely focuses on what he’s spent.

How do you not see that as you’re typing it, man?!

----------------------------------------------------------------------


As an aside, it always astonishes me the number of Rangers fans, not necessarily on here, that lust after 'a big, old-fashioned, number 9 to get on the end of crosses' like football hasn't move on since big DJ, Hateley or Flo. Like it is in the DNA of how they think football should look?

I realise we have our own equivalent inspired by Johnstone, Provan, Di Canio, Roberts and now Jota (nhugg).

Who has disagreed that we’ve spent more?!

All that’s been offered is a counter to that.

I think we know who the fvcking idiot is now…

That probably Hurt flo, given he was 6'5 or so but not really John Hartson in the air. That and the comparison to Larsson.

What part of Celtics spending means there was no expectations placed on Ange 🤣 He was allowed to have the joint highest wage bill and spend 25m with no expectations that would improve things

Flo had a good goal return, unfortunately he didnt have what rangers really wanted and that was to be their henrik larsson.

Lost edouard, christie, frimpong, and ajer in 6 months and had to rebuild against a rangers team that was undefeated in the league the previous season.

I thought it would be a year of transition i admit
