Bocanegra warns he’ll quit Rangers
The American joined Rangers on a two year contract from St Etienne last summer but had to accept a 75% pay cut as the club plunged into administration.
Next week the Rangers players are due to return to their original contracts but with no sign of a CVA and no statements from would-be owner Charlie Green it seems highly unlikely that they will come out of administration.
Bocanegra was a regular in the Rangers defence throughout last season but won’t be returning if the club remains in crisis.
“I won’t take another pay cut, hopefully it will all be sorted out,” he declared.
“That was a big decision for all the players, it wasn’t just me, everybody made a sacrifice. You come to a club expecting to have a guaranteed contract. Then you have to change it and it’s unfortunate. I don’t regret coming because I’m really enjoying the club.
“The other part is a bit frustrating, but you have got to get on with it and luckily it was a short period of time, three months.
“Hopefully it is sorted mid-June and we can move forward and put that behind us.
“I haven’t read anything about what is happening for a while. But apparently a consortium are buying it, so as long as they are not asking us again to take pay cuts I have no reason to want to go.”
The defender added: “I’m not going to say exactly how I feel there would be quite a lot of expletives if I did.
“But it’s too bad that there are people out there who take advantage and prey on other people. That’s frustrating because it means taking someone’s livelihood.
“We are footballers and hopefully we will find another job but there are people in the office or groundskeepers or people like that who maybe can’t pay rent next month.
“So that’s where where you realise that someone’s greed is going to affect so many people and yet they don’t care.
“He (Whyte) came to the locker room one time and told us we were in administration. That was it.”
