‘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?!

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

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

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

Everyone thought it was a year of transition, we were clear favourites.

But there was surely still an expectation he’d improve things. Edouard hardly turned up last season compared to how he was before, and didn’t think Celtic fans even rated Christie that much. Can’t spend that much and not expect the new players to have an impact at all.

i didnt know what to think to be honest, i liked his attitude but early on when watching players not really capable of the inverted fullback roll it was messy.

once he had his own players yeah, but i dont think we truly settled until jan, it was an effort up until then.

Ahhhh! So now we’re changing the parameters of the debate! Cool.

Still, to only focus on spending would be stupid without taking into account the other factors-but that’s still what you’ve done.

No probs.

‘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!’

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…

see all you had to do was agree with me, not so hard was it

Literally, no one I can remember disagreed.

All that happened was a counter argument and some nuance. You then went all stampy stampy like you were recently dehydrated or something.

It’s a forum. It’s where discussions take place. If you’d prefer a vacuum for your thoughts, then I’m sure you can find such places.

No-one said it directly , plenty just posted laughy faces as if to suggest it was a joke when it wasnt. but didnt care to actually attempt to debate it , or jumped on the defensive ... ahh but , ahh but.

I was just posting what a great job we have done to assemble the squad we have at a modest cost (apparently half the price celtic have paid), I have no idea why so many had to then feel the need to reply? I wonder if it was because they initially didnt believe that was the case?

but alas well done Rangers... managing to assemble that calibre of squad for half the price you rivals did.

that deserves plaudits.

I may have posted it to ruffle a few feathers of those who some how seem to struggle dealing with positive rangers news, I may not have.

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

I wasn’t involved in the debate on spending, couldn’t be bothered.

But aye considering the other factors, like having the highest or joint highest wage bill last season, selling players like Edouard who didn’t appear to want to be there. So starting from a good base, and then bringing in 40m worth of players (spending 25 and two players with options to buy for 15m in total).

You’d assume there would be some expectation of improvement. Obviously Rangers were favourites, and it was a year of transition, but simply you can’t spend 25m and bring in loans with options to buy in Scotland without some expectation of improving.

So, no one said it at all. You took the hump because folk provided a bit more substance to the statement. You completely ignored the points raised, and stuck to a line that you’ve admitted no one disagreed with.

Brilliant.

That post is literally all about spending.

Are you ok???

To be fair I was understanding you meant spending vs net spending. As that’s what had been thrown at me before.

But I’ve already said Ange deserved plaudits. Factors outside finance mean very little, nature of football. Why it’s such a huge achievement for Rangers getting to Europa final this year.

Is our good base anything approaching your £200m squad? As I implied before, the 2012 crutch is still being used as a smokescreen when convenient for some.
