Yes I have but I think the total costs of employing Gerrard and upheaval will be north of 50 and towards 100. These things are not cheap.

It will be nowhere near that.

How do make that out?Compensation to Rangers £5M. 3 year contract for Steven £24M. 3 year contracts for all his staff £30M. Compensation for Villareal £10M. Additional cost of hiring top european coaching staff at a higher rate £20M over 3 years. Various agent fees £10M.Hopefully it's not as much at that but it won't be far short.

Have to acknowledge Purslow on this recruitment.He has pulled a masterstroke after the failed experiment with Gerrard.Feel the project is back on track and as much he has been unwise with his last selection bringing in Emery makes things far sweeter all round.
He did that thing in the press conference of turning round and looking at his colleagues for support when he was talking. A sure sign of somebody who is probably in the last chance saloon and looking for all the help he can get.

A sure sign of somebody who is probably in the last chance saloon and looking for all the help he can get.I don't think he's that far gone but I suspect he has been told that the failure of the last year is on him and had some of his responsibilities either taken on by the owners or given to Lange.
