It boils down to who you believe doesn’t it, all I’m saying is what our then manager answered when asked if a fee had been paid for Simpson. It’s possible that both could be right, if, for example, there was no transfer fee but City took over the remainder of Simpson’s contract with Rangers - I can remember that happening with Gareth Ainsworth when he came here and it was reported we’d paid 50k (what was left on the contract) for him.
Whyte and Harris aren't OK. Whyte was a squad player for Oxford last season and Harris is crap. He's really reverted to type. Sang is fine, he's not terrible. Ng is average, he's got major deficiencies as a centre half. He's short, and he drops off all the time.
Hudson is panicking, because we are shit. I don't blame him. I don't know what I'd do. We are up shit creek.
Good, although we're still paying his wages. Rangers fans were laughing their heads off when we signed him...
We've wasted so much money on wages this summer. Simpson, Sawyers, Ojo, Whyte, Nkounkou etc, all players that aren't up to it on decent money. We've got 27 first teamers. If we drop that to 22, we save 5 players' wages, which is Ł2.5m. It is mental money. We could have bought two good players with that. Morison and the recruitment team have put us in the same position we were last summer, with a squad of crap players that nobody wants just eating away at the wage budget.

Not sure we're any luckier or unlucky than any other season.
It is just when you're in the brown stuff as we are currently then the decisions and rubs of the green not coming off impact that much more.
We were definitely lucky last season due to a few clubs having points deducted. We may well have gone down last year , if it wasn’t for the deduction’s as the pressure of being closer to the bottom would have affected the team and perhaps galvanised the clubs around us.
