Ach fuck it. So my theory is this. Pedro is a howling man manager. That is obvious enough. When he came in not only did our team not have a new manager bounce but many were mysteriously injured or dropped as the season came to a close with many of the unders getting games. I believe that Pedro was one of those incoming managers that wants to pish on every lamppost and just dismissed the players that were signed before him. Agree with him or not, he gutted the squad. I believe that was as much about making sure he was top dog as it was about getting rid of dross. Same happened in coaching side. He wanted to rule the roost He did not give two fucks about results at the tail end of last season. He was just biding his time til he could get rid of anyone that wasn’t his bitch. Kenny being a model pro probably fell into the category for Pedro of someone that would do as he was told and not argue. The likes of Halliday, Hill, McKay all shipped out (I will forget Kieran because he was an utter donkey) There were rumours from the playing camp that senior figures were calling him a dud early on. Same rumours circled about Pena when he arrived. I remember reading on here that some players were astonished at Penas inability in training interestinng that Danny Wilson said he has been fit for sometime. Another one Pedro ostracised. Again you can debate on the rights and wrongs relating to Wilson’s abilities but the manager still has to manage the man so I think that Miller has started to get a bit unprofessional about Pena and maybe the other man management aspects and Pedro has not liked that at all Miller has been sent to Coventry and this solidifies a rift in the dressing room with the likes of Wallace siding with Kenny, after that it’s a matter of time. All complete speculation and really probably adds no value. Pedro is gone. Kenny is still here and we will likely never know the full truth

Not defending him. He is pish. I just keep seeing posts that make me want to raise negative subjects. Like. “I have never hated a Rangers player more” that makes me point out pricks of the past which is a buzz kill. It’s been ages since I felt as good about a result as I felt today and although we still have a million negatives I am just trying to focus on the positives for a wee bit.

Aye. Spotted that. Herrera was celebrating and Miller just dingied him.

Really? I am trying to stay in my happy place as long as possible but some folk just can’t resist trying to piss on everyone’s parade. Ian Black? Naismith? Nicky Law? Joey Barton? What about Lafferty when he pretended to be head butted. Windass may be a bit shit but he is far less distasteful than some folk we have had playing for us

If we ever needed reminding why we are so disjointed as a fan base this thread would just about sum it up. I consider myself a glass is half empty Kinda guy but by fuck I feel good tonight. Hearts might be shite but We have struggled against them in the recent past. They can put themselves about which we have struggled with in the past today we went down a goal to a top notch free kick and in the recent past, losing a goal more or less meant we were fucked today is a good day. Miller scored a good goal, got Lucky on another and played his part in a decent win. Why not let’s all appreciate that he put in a decent shift today and enjoy the result. Don’t see the need to be dragging up his jump the dyke past at this stage in his career.

Someone said Moult earlier. TBh last weekend was the first time I have seen Moult but he looked a player that would compliment the buffalo well

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned more. I liked that,

Been quality this season. I don't think he has taken as much stick this year as he did last, he is still a wee bit iffy on the defensive side but he is one of best going forward. Fantastic cross today, some smart arse cunts think they look like professors of football when they say his crossing is poor....

This. Let the others take the jersey from him, he deserves to keep it

It’s interesting to see so many people in a forum saying he was a good guy yet so many players clearly having a problem with him. Its easy to say they are a bunch of charlatans and they didn’t like him because he saw through them but maybe pedro was just a prick. Look at the trail of destruction he has left in his wake. He basically alienated everyone he worked with except the foreign players he brought in. So many pundits clearly disliked him. He might know football but you need to know people too. The best football managers are the best man managers.

Not read the thread but Pedro said himself that we would see if the players were backing him by their performance on Wednesday. Well I missed the game but by all accounts we were shite and lacking any kind of fight and passion. So there it is. Pedro has his answer. He has lost the dressing room, he has lost the plot and he surely has lost his job

If 650k gets the job done then great. Fuck. If that’s enough get the fabled fighting fund dusted off. Or let’s have a go fund-me campaign

Instead of giving him a lump sum pay off we could let him keep Pena. That’s 3 million right there. ........ more “lump of wood” than lump sum

He mistakenly believes anyone gives a fuck about Scottish football thriving. Rangers are deid. That’s all every other club gives a fuck about. The game that hated itself to death.

The problem with that though is it’s not the managers style, philosophy or strength. Plus it means we are aiming at second best.

Pretty strong stuff from Pedro. I like how he calls out the game here, calls out the media and has a go at his shitebag players. But it’s a different side of the same coin. The coin being that he is not cut out for Scottish football. I accept that it’s Scottish football that needs to change but the age old adage applies. You can only play what’s put in front of you and he is employed by the biggest club in Scotland to win games in Scotland against the Scottish style. If he can’t do that then he needs to go. He cannot change the game here unless he has the resources to bring in players of such a talent that they can play their way around the hammer throwers like the teams in Europe do to Scottish teams. Bravo Pedro, Scottish football is shite. Now. How the fuck does that help Rangers.

Mine has for sure. But it started the season we were in the UEFA cup final. John Reid was the beginning of it. That’s when the organised campaign to oust Rangers as the establishment club began. Paranoid? maybe but evidence suggests otherwise Now I have a love for my club and my son sees it and wants to be part of it and I am almost tempted to get him into Spanish or English football instead because the hatred in the Scottish game is poisonous. Someone wrote an article about the game that hated itself to death. I can’t help feel that was spot on. My only hope is that by sheer weight of numbers we eventually turn this around, King gets back the 40 million that dodgy Dave Murray swindled him out of and we get our club back again. Might be a long long time.

Time will tell. I am hoping yesterday was a watershed moment.

I thought he should have gone after the 5-1. I hoped he would be gone in the summer. When he was backed in the transfer market I knew he was here for at least the season. The scum being on the way to ten in a row adds a bit of pressure that we can’t afford to ignore. However, he won’t be sacked before season end and despite the pressure and the obvious embarrassment we are having to endure because of some of his results, there is a big part of me that is interested to see if the “give him time” strategy is going to be thoroughly dismissed or proven correct. If he is second by season end he will be kept.

I honestly believe we will get 9 points from next 3 games. Pedro will be here til the end of the season.

Did you even read what I wrote?

Well yes. Look its fucking hard work supporting Rangers right now. But embarrassment? Nah. I am embarrassed by the result but I can’t bring myself to say the club is an embarrassment

Nope.

See to be honest. I don’t blame any of the players. I didn’t blame Jeremy Clemente. I didn’t blame Sebo or Sionko. PLG was the problem then. PC is the problem now. He is here til the end of the season or until we fall so far behind 2nd spot that King has no choice.

Dorrans Holt seems a better combo
