maroonshrew Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Releasing Webster wasnt a mistake. He bottled it for them over and over again. Niemi was a howler obviously. Flo actually did well at Rangers i think. Sadly nothing he could do would justify that price tag. it was the height of stupid money but he scored 1 in 2. They didnt know what was coming round the corner financially i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinger Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 niemi!! What a keeper he was. I remember in a Derby a hobo was caught offside and niemi stood on 1 leg as if to say " there u go il make it easy for u" However he said I could get his gloves at the end of a season and he bumped me!!!

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 its because they are broke That is my reading of it... reckon they feel goals are more valuable to try and secure championship money and so in order to free up some wages to help bring in Diouf and Healy, they needed to punt someone out the door. The Niemi decision was just madness!... Dis they not keep Charbonnier before him, as well as Klos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMc Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I may be running afew incidents into one as I was fairly young at the time but... Did they not have Klos and Niemi, bring in Lionel Charbonnier (sp) and sell Niemi and drop Klos temporarily on the basis of the Frenchman's reputation only to discover that he was in fact sh*te? (and looked like an wino). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Niemi decision was just madness!... Dis they not keep Charbonnier before him, as well as Klos? Indeed they did. Ludicrous! Charbonnier's mistakes cost Rangers the chance to progress through a very tough CL group also containing Valencia, Bayern and PSV: a failure which would have severe financial consequences. Advocaat's treatment of Niemi was simply bizarre; as it was of Paul Ritchie. When Rangers spent most of 2000/1 hopeless at the back, Konterman and Ricksen embarrassing themselves on a weekly basis, it made Advocaat's decision to offload Ritchie so quickly look crazy.

I read an article titled: Rangers boss tells Ritchie to sit tight and he will rescue him from his Tynecastle hell. Ritchie sat tight and well... I bet he felt really rescued.

Peebo Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I'll add a Daniel Prodan and a Seb Rozenthal to that list. The list of poor decisions is endless.

It was more the signing them in the first place that i was mentioning in reply to Shauns comment about signing Michael Ball. Off topic a bit I guess but hey-ho. Just decided, though, that my favourite Rangers decision was when they decided not to sign a player for ?10 million. His name was Ruud Van Nistelrooy and around a year later he went to Man United for ?18 million and scored for fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott_jambo Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Rangers didn't make a mistake selling Niemi. They had Stefan Klos at the time - You can only play one keeper. If Niemi was playing in the first team for Rangers and Smith sold Klos to us for 400k then Klos would of went down as a Hearts legend to the same degree as Niemi.
