Continuing the catch all thread theme. Please post anything related to the season so far on here, transfers, rumors, club statements etc etc. Of course there is nothing to stop anyone from setting up a new thread for a single subject if you feel it is warranted!!

With all the transfer changes finished it may be a good idea to outline them.

So, about £140 mil spent, ut the defence has not received much work, and could be the main reason I feel that Utd will struggle again. LVG certainly has his work cut out.

These were very popular and may help with visibility as a lot of google visits were due to it. May be worth setting up a section...Just a thought.

Rangers Manager Ally McCoist has involked SPFL rules to get the Petrofac Training Cup quarter-final against E Fife to be postponed due to international call-ups.

Lewis Macleod, Bilel Mohsni and Dean Shiels are likely to be on International duty.

Not sure it is a good idea tbh as Gers have hit a bit of form and a longish layoff may well put us back to the drivel we were playing eirlier in season.

Hello,

Glad you found us and welcome to this new sports forum.  

This has been a quick to market activity and so although the boards are all there for you to start discussion.  I appreciate that on other forums there might be features not yet available on here and also that you might have ideas on what more could be added e.g. a prediction league? If you have constructive ideas please add them to this thread.

In the meantime:
Step 1 Has been to get the site established and available to you all - I hope this is appreciated and you will spread the word.
Step 2 Will be to add a bit of branding to make it more our own
Step 3 Will be to look to appointing moderators moderators once we have a mass to care for.

• If you have been a moderator elsewhere and would like to continue please let us know
  
• If you are a regular poster elsewhere and would like to take this role on, we'd like to hear from you
  

Rangers loaned out seven fringe players until the turn of the year, most of them with first-team experience.
Robbie Crawford joined Morton on a four-month loan, while Calum Gallagher moved to Cowdenbeath until January.
Other deals included defender Luca Gasparotto going to Airdrie and striker Danny Stoney to Stranraer.
Tom Walsh makes the switch to Stenhousemuir, while Craig Halkett Barrie McKay go to Clyde and Raith Rovers respectively.

It is a bit of a shame as these guys should really be playing a part in this years matches. Many have the expierience to do this but as is the trend at Ibrox, Ally has little time for young layers, preferring older players. This does nothing to help the club either financially r in its attempts to be self sufficient in players.
If they cannot get a game in the Championship, what chance in the Prem, if and when they get there.

Hopefully this will be our new home, so once you are registered, please add a reply here. As we go along we should be able to adapt and add to this site and make it the forum we all want.

According to local radio, Chris Powell is once again the favourite for the job. Surely we will have a decision by the time we are back from the international break?

Billy Davies, Chris Hughton, and Owen Coyle are definitely out of the running.

 Latest:
If you thought last summer there was mass change, then this summer could be even more spectacular.

We have players out of contract, players out of favour with the new manager and a possible new owner  (American or Far East) who will or will not boost the transfer budget.

Lets hope things happen quicker this summer and we don't do the last minute panic buying that we saw last year!

When does it Open?The 2015 Summer Transfer Window opens Wednesday, July 1. Clubs might announce signings in June, but player registrations can't be transferred until July 1.
When does it Close?The deadline is 11pm Monday 31st August 31 for paperwork to have been submitted to the Premier League and so it is possible for announcements to happen much later than that e.g. Man Utd and Falcao was announced at 1.30am
