Aberdeen manager Craig Brown is resigned to losing attacker Sone Aluko after the Nigeria international told him he wants to return to England.

 

The 22-year-old has been offered a new contract by the Dons, but wants a move away from Pittodrie.

 

The offer remains on the table, but Brown fears he will lose the services of one of his key players this summer.

Not good news

I heart karma.

Sone Loluko

RANGERS boss Ally McCoist today rubbished Sone Aluko’s claims that he paid for his own transfer to Ibrox.

Former Aberdeen FC winger Aluko was quoted saying he had forked out almost £200,000 of his own money to get the deal done. The player’s adviser was also quoted as saying Rangers had not parted with any money towards the deal.

McCoist said: “There has been a little bit of misrepresentation of the story in the press.”

 

surely if he was quoted saying it there can be no misrepresentation?

 

I know that, what I'm more concerned is that it would now seem that anyone with enough money could buy out a contract for a player then "place" him with whichever club he wants, then that club can register him.

 

I don't see that as being the case at all. The player has paid his own compensation (or part of it), where he gets the money from is immaterial.  It just so happens that in this case his family seem to have loaned him some of the cash.

Huns in 'we're not skint' cover up.

From Richard Gordon on Twitter: "BBC understands SFA Compliance Officer will investigate Sone Aluko 'dive' v Dunfermline yesterday. More news tomorrow"

 

Fuck all will happen.

 

FACT!

Obviously the hun have better training for "diving" than we have 

SFA to investigate his dive. They should also investigate the ref - shocking!

2 match ban and a fine- Rangers appealing.

Rangers are NOT appealing, they are vile!

 

PS How come he couldna get penalties for us................................................oh, siily me, the "lack" of of bias

Rangers' appeal argument? "We normally get away with this. Why not now?"

 

SFA: "Fair doos."

 

Appeal successful.  :hammer: :hammer:

I hope aluko gets nailed by the next tackle, good and proper. Another example of why Scottish football is increasingly becoming more of a farce. 

 

Nice wee money making scheme with some old Sone Aluko tshirts, just need a daft hun to not notice..........

Aluko tweeted on a number of occasions on Wednesday afternoon, saying: "Testing times for everyone at RFC...great people and fans at the club in short time I've been there! Sure answers and clarity will come..."

 

He then added: "Sure u all will stay loyal to RFC!140years of success isnt easy to build! Long may it continue & sure it will!Thanks for msgs! "

 

Aluko finished with the message: ""trials produce endurance, endurance develops character and character brings hope"...have a feeling ibrox will be packed Saturday "

So they left out the bit where he said "No Surrender"?  Shame....

Ibrox may be packed but not by him if the rumour I just heard is true. 

 

Not a strong source I have to admit.

 

Most news sources saying no sackings today, players/staff will find out next week.

 

News Conference announced by the administrators for 3.30pm though.

Rayo have apparently offered him 70k per month to leave der hun in the summer.
