It was only a matter of time before the sales started to come.
The only problem is, instead of the gazzillions the *Rangers fans were expecting for some of their ‘top’ stars, it seems that they will only be raking in a fraction of what they thought they would get for the likes of Kent, Morelos and Aribo.
And it’s the former that this story is all about.
Heavily linked with Southampton, it seems that Aribo is set to leave the club after the English side have agreed to meet the £10m release clause in his contract.
Yes. £10m. Seems a lot doesn’t it? But when you consider that Ibrox Noise predicted he would be the first £35m player (yes, I know) in Scotlands history, it seems they are being short changed.
Well, everyone else outside of Govan knows they are not, but hey, delusion and all that eh?
The panic from the fans is setting is as they reacted to Heart & Hands revelation that the £10m release clause has been met but my question would be this.
How did they not know Aribo had this clause inserted before they started banding about silly prices?
Take this thread for example. Fans were pushing a £15m price tag yet H&H said nothing to correct them:
But then is he really that good? Not really when you look at this one when we beat them 2-1 in their own backyard.
How fickle the fans are………………
Anyway, enjoy a thread of pain as the reality of that their £35m start is going for less than a third of that figures bites…….
Clubs in free fall

We should not be agreeing to such low sell on clauses.

I honestly didn’t. If I wanted to lose someone for a few it would be aribo or camera rather than kent or Alfredo

Camera?
That release clause is ridiculously low.
Yet another brilliant move by us 🤦🏻♂️

I wonder if we’re desperate for money right now and that’s why we’re waiting for £10m? Or could we negotiate a lower fee for a bigger sell-on?

club has been dragged down by douglas park, bring back king who had a brain on his f**king head and backed the club, no money to spend selling our best players for 10 million when they got 12 million for ajer,we need to add players or the exact same as last year will happen
