Broadfoot told to quit Ibrox
Broadfoot and Lee McCulloch were the longest serving players at Rangers who TUPE’d their contracts over to Sevco but has now been told that he has no future at Ibrox.
Despite the flood of season ticket sales triggered by some carefully chosen soundbites from Charles Green the reported £10m of money raised falls way short of the sum required to see the club through till the end of the season.
The running costs of Ibrox and Murray Park plus the second most expensive coaching staff in Scotland eats up more than half the sum raised from season tickets.
Green has found little enthusiasm from the Scottish business community for his grand plan with talk of three billionaires investing in the club falling ominously quiet.
Plans for a share issue to supporters are believed to be underway but with little information about Green’s backers and their intentions, attempts to sell shares in the lead up to Christmas could prove much harder than selling season tickets.
Faced with the reality of income against outgoings Green has had no option but to cut the wage bill. Despite having the transfer ban lifted last month the club wage bill has decreased with the departures of Dorin Goian, Alejandro Bedoya and the likely exit of Maurice Edu more than covering the cost of six new signings.
The loss of Broadfoot will seriously undermine McCoist’s defensive options with captain Carlos Bocanegra also likely to depart.
Bocanegra has ambitions to play for the USA at the next World Cup finals in Brazil but is well aware that he is unlikely to achieve that playing lower division football in Scotland.
