That is essential to be able to play at the highest level. “I was aware that he was going to sign for Rangers.

player_65 Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Frank de Boer is off to join his brother <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Rangers defender Frank de Boer has revealed his intention to leave Ibrox at the season's end and join brother Ronald in Qatar. The former Ajax and Barcelona man joined the Old Firm giants in January after an unhappy spell at Turkish side Galatasaray. De Boer, Holland's most-capped international, had hinted at a contract extension with The Gers but he has now confirmed his intention to join his brother in the Middle East after next month's Euro 2004 finals in Portugal. "I had promised my brother Ronald I would go with him to Qatar," de Boer told Uefa's website. "That's more the issue than anything else. Maybe in my heart, I wanted to stay but we made a pact to go at the same time and that's it. "This was always going to be a big year for me as captain of Holland and I'm grateful to Rangers for giving me the opportunity to restore my fitness and confidence before Euro 2004." The de Boer brothers will make their Ibrox farewell on Wednesday evening when Rangers host Hearts in the club's last home match of the season. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>From Planetfootball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Improving the first team is the priority for me because we didn't do that last summer but first we need to wait and see if certain situations develop before other things can happen.

Gary Toner Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> MICHAEL MOLS has revealed that he could quit football in the summer completely and become a travel agent! The Dutch striker is set to bid his farewells to the Ibrox fans tonight in the final home game of the season against Hearts after five rollercoaster years at Rangers. It is not certain that the 33-year-old will remain on the playing side when he walks out of Ibrox for the last time. However, he has hinted that he could start up a travel business with former Ibrox team mates Arthur Numan and Bert Konterman where he would organise football packages from Holland to Scotland. He said: “I need to sit down and discuss things with Arthur and Bert. There is a possibility that we may start our own travel agency and create packages for football fans in Holland so they can come over to Scotland for the weekend and go to matches. “This started off as a joke but it has become more serious as we all love Scotland and think it may be a good idea. I can organise the hotels, Bert can organise the football and Arthur can organise the nightclubs! "I will go back to Holland and sort out my stuff there and go on a holiday with my family. Maybe I will come back and live in Scotland or maybe play another year somewhere else. I will have to wait to see. If I have a good feeling about something I will do it. “I know for sure that it is going to be very sad for my family. My wife and son really enjoy life in Scotland. My son, Nino, does not understand that I will not be playing for Rangers anymore. I try to tell him this and he says why do you not go to play for Celtic, Kilmarnock or Dundee and I tell him this is not going to happen! “Whatever happens I will always come back to Scotland and will continue to be one of the club's biggest supporters.†Tonight will also be the final Ibrox appearance for Ronald de Boer although he is fighting to be fit with a thigh injury and is likely to come off the bench near the end of the game. It will also be the last appearance of his brother Frank, who is joining Ronald in the Middle East. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Numan organising the nighclubs nice one Arthur.

Maybe Rangers wouldn't have struggled as much as they have done this season if the fans had shown a tad more patience, as i've said, Hearts fans can be just as fickle.

Allardyce revealed that the club had agreed terms with the Croatian international six week ago, and the Trotters boss is livid that the 29-year-old and his agent Richard Bertoni sealed a deal with Rangers without notifying him. Bolton had hoped to sign Prso on a free when his contract expires at the end of the season. But the striker will now join Rangers and according to Allardyce, he has demonstrated a lack of ambition by choosing to 'play in a lower grade of football'. "I am bitterly disappointed that he has joined Rangers after we'd agreed terms with him six weeks ago,' Allardyce told the Manchester Evening News. "A deal had been agreed between the player and his agent for him to join us once he had played his last game for Monaco in the Champions' League final later this month. "I can't believe, at the 11th hour, he has turned us down. What makes it even worse is the fact that the player and his representative, Richard Bertoni, have not had the decency to contact me regarding their situation. "Rangers are a massive club, but Prso has chosen to play in a lower grade of football. That tells me that he lacks ambition. "We could have given him the perfect platform and offered him a new challenge of displaying his skills in the most competitive league in the world and within a very talented squad of players." <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> wow allardyce gtf. he seems to think anyone cares about bolton.

Haz Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Saying he felt sorry for himself is a bit harsh - but you have to understand that he must have had terrible frustration when a key part of his game was using his turning skills to create space and with a dodgy knee that was taken away from him. I'd give him credit for the effort he made to get back and I'm sure he is one player who goes with the very best wishes of all Rangers fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
