Anyway - regardless of the actual outcome of the tax case - during this transfer window where no one will extend rangers credit the accepted view seeems to be that if rangers want cash then they might have to drop their asking price for a player. A downward spiral of decline?

3 titles in a row.

Bought on the never-never.

It's only now that the seams are beginning to tear. I predict this bullishness will evaporate faster than snaw aff a dyyyke.

Despite what the OP says,we managed to sign,what 6 players in the summer. I'm pretty sure they got deals lastin longer than "til date of tax case",so what's different now?

Lauders,

Sorry, but haven't you heard that stv is no longer a credibly neutral source in Scottish football?

One thing's for certain nobody will allow rangers to buy anything on the never-never right now.

Even though he has barely kicked a ball in the last three seasons Balde has been enjoying a tidy £28,000 per week - £5 million since 2005 - at the Parkhead club, making him one of the highest paid players on the books (as well as one of the longest serving having been at the Hoops since 2001). It has also been reported that the player will also earn a £1 million loyalty bonus at the end of his Celtic contract, which expires today.


terrible bit of business

Laudrup

So he "hardly kicked a ball for three years", ie. he was available for selection. Not four years like you claimed.

And I'll ask you again: are or were Celtic in a dire financial when we were paying his wages?

You were forced to pay £1m to get Beattie to leave.

It is simple economics, just to return to the OP. If I was purchasing a commodity, and I knew that the holder of said commodity was in a parlous financial state, I would naturally refuse to meet their top-end valuation.

Jelly will go for £5m max cash up front.

What on earth has Celtic honouring Bobo Balde's contract got to do with the OP - talk about denial and deflection

Speculation tully,without any verdict in the case,I'd say we aren't really in a different position to six month ago when we signed guys for three years and five years at a time. Pretty safe to say they've had assurances that they'll get paid
