There will be NO new signings at training this morning as James Tavernier and the serial losers return to Murray Park.
One month on from the the transformative takeover from the San Francisco 49GERS with the promise of multi-million pound investment and a splurge in the transfer market nothing has actually happened.
January pre-contract deal Lyall Cameron will turn up, introduce himself then take the popular path to the treatment room, arriving at his new club with a sore leg.
Luka Modric, Jordan Henderson and Jamie Vardy won’t be in town, they are all far from Murray Park showing no interest in the visionary management of Russell Martin and his Green Party beliefs.
It has been a desperate time for the messengers, none are more loyal than the Daily Record as they deliver a flow of good news to their declining army of readers.
Late on Sunday they had to dig deeper than ever to blank out the lack of transfer activity on the back of their much hyped ‘takeover’.
Rangers target Conor Coady?has broken his silence with a Leicester City exit gathering pace.
Record Sport broke the story that the the Light Blues have asked the Foxes about his availability with Rangers sporting director Kevin Thelwell a huge fan of the England international after previously bringing him to Everton.
The 32-year-old still has a year left on his contract at Leicester but after their relegation from the Premier League and uncertainty over Ruud van Nistelrooy’s long-term future he faces a decision on his future.
While Wolves are also said to be keen on Coady, he appears to have put a decision on his future on the back-burner to take on punditry duties for the Club World Cup.
Long and short of it, he is a pundit covering the World Club Championship casting barely a thought towards the Russell Revolution.
With a year left on his lucrative Leicester deal he is working on his media image with DAZN covering the 24 team tournament taking place across the USA.
Preparing for Panathinaikos or how he can cover up for the comedy show that is Tavernier and Jack Butland has little appeal, especially on the austerity budget being imposed by Andrew Cavenagh.
With training underway again at Murray Park the Record can start profiling the transformation in Ben Davies, Kieran Dowell, Rabbi Matondo and Jose Cifuentes while £4.5m Oscar Cortes is compared with every successful Colombian through the most obscure links.
This SMSM quoted ‘£20M’ investment due for RIFC – IF even true – won’t make much difference
to a club which lost £17M last year, and is on target to lose even more this year.
Have the directors’ loans been repaid yet? I’m guessing not. Might make sense to pay off these loans first,
and then focus on cost cutting / efficiency drives right across the club?
But, what’s definitely not on the agenda is a big cash deposit into Martin’s empty war chest.
That would simply be a continuation of the insane manner in which the ibrox club has been managed to date.
And these new controllers are not at all dyed-blue, emotional fans!
