I think I've asked this before but what exactly is DW's role at Ibrox? I thought - obviously wrongly - that it would be to advise MW about matters defensive as that was, allegedly, his particular forte.  That being the case, how on earth did we end up with Wilson? I still think Crooks could well be the answer to our problems at the back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunk and disorderly. 14,420 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Didn't we win today? Unbeaten so far. Hasn't MW said repeatedly that he will only bring in players who will add value? Should we spunk money away needlessly to satisfy the ego of a few fans? The days of boom and bust are gone. We must run our Club in a sustainable manner.

ianferguson 2,619 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 With Barton and Rossiter being holding midfielders who will both play i can only see Matt Crooks playing CB and hopefully in place of the INCONSISTENT Kiernan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I hope I'm wrong but I have a feeling that the board are running to a plan that doesn't account for us winning the league this season. If we do then they will celebrate the same as everyone else but will probably be a year or two ahead of their schedule. It's a dangerous game to play. But so is spending millions more than we can afford. Its far too early to panic but frailties in the team from the latter part of last season seem to have carried into this season. MW  says he will announce a couple of signings this week. Hopefully they will improve our defensive and attacking options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on our absolute a*se 4 years ago so cant have short memories. I dont like it either but need to accept we cant splash the cash anymore-too many years without CL income. Also i know its easy to slag King but lets not forgot someone has to be funding the £1m a month loss that was getting spouted for the last few years. Oh and for all the Kiernan and Wilson haters....who was our central defence pairing when we beat the filth in SC semi last year ?????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope our new defenders and defensive midfielders can solve the issue when match fit. We will find out soon enough. As you said it's easy to slag the board. They are open to criticism but some revel in it and paint everything in black and white. Prefer full HD coulor winning 55 with a beaming smile myself.

I still think Crooks could well be the answer to our problems at the back. Well this is the worry. Wilson was good. He was good for us under Walter, he went to Liverpool, and then he was good for Hearts. So he's not a shit defender, but now, for us, he is. Is it a coaching/tactics issue with our defenders?

james_85 656 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Sometimes you need to speculate to accumulate, after the Kaunas game where we were knocked out am sure we spent big and won the league, it may seem like a risk to spend but they aren't that far ahead of us Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eosmhdo 1,879 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I think we are waiting and getting targets ready in case that lot qualify for champs league. If they do they will spend and we would have to as well. It's a game of chess at the moment imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's got very, very little to do with the question you asked. And that's me being generous. I trust MW's motives and game plan, that doesn't mean we don't need to spend money. If you genuinely think he is refusing offers of money for more players I'd suggest you might be lacking understanding... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz 7 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 For the avoidance of doubt, DK does not have much money, this shouldn't be a shock to anyone! What we have is limited funds to bring in loan deals or out of contract players. I trust MW to do his best with the limited cash that we can offer him.

So your argument is that we shouldn't spend money, because people who don't really kno the transfer market say we should spend money. Incidentally, we won multiple world records by spending money.
