How is Clement more capable than Beale? The latter if you remember won 14 out of 15 of his first league games with the other being a draw. In time he may well prove to be but the exact same thing would have been said of Beale v GVB after a dozen or so games.

Fancy roofe to get a few

Lets not pretend that the board gave Michael Beale a checkbook and told him off you go before asking him first game of the season so who did you buy then? The board should have a vision about the types of players we want to sign as well as signing off the likes of salaries. The board should have a long term plan and any manager coming in should be aware of that including transfer funds and wage structure.

He’s under 21 so they are freebies in the European squad

We should interview quite a few people asking them how he thinks the current squad would line up, the strengths and weaknesses of them. Where he would feel we need to strengthen and where he thinks those players would come from. The board need to be honest with the candidates about how much budget is available.

Man Utds problem is every manager has come in and spent money on random players rather than slowly try to build a team. In effect they are back to where they where before Ferguson started managing them.

We will win 1 nil or 5 nil I reckon. Livi rarely trouble us so I see no chance of an upset.

1 - we just need to be run well we don't need 10;s millions 2 - our support would never tolerate that

King talked about front loading investment about 5-6 years ago to set up a player trading model

Would not normally post stuff from the SNP but the bald shouty one that leads the Westminster rabble came out and rubbished it completely. its mental it goes down 4 or 5 tiers in Scotland not just the SPL

You are correct to say in the last decade we have been starved of talent. However Alfredo was a indeed a flawed player who we got for 1 Million and returned that investment many times over (just look at the amount of players we have signed for this or more since he came). His goals got us to the group stages at least once and possibly twice by scoring the winning (our only) goal in the playoff. He may well have had one eye on the door because basically every single transfer window there was numerous links with other clubs and our CEO at the time named his price for his departure. I already mentioned he was flawed and he is not alone in being a player who regularly makes stupid mistakes which leads to his sending off. That is probably one of the reasons we where able to keep him for so long. As for learning the language Kyogo still gets interviewed with an interpreter after 2 years despite coming from Japan where English is compulsory in schools and universities. Do you think that mob are raging at him. Some people take longer to learn a language whilst others learn but are not comfortable in speaking it all the time.

Morelos scored some very important goals.....a few of them lead to us qualifying for the group stages of Europe. Cantwell was described by Norwich fans as a creative player who is not mentally strong. He has not delivered in an important game and until he does he will just be a player that turns in on against the dross of the SPL and lower ranked European teams.

We play some turgid football at times grinding out results and even when it can be 3 or 4 nil at the end the majority has been dull. Along comes what seems a half decent player and before he has even contributed to a significant event such as winning a cup they are lauded, talked about as going for 15 Million or player of the year before their eventual slide into just another player who shows it in flashes. Our tactics seem to consist of spending more than the rest of the SPL barring them and hoping that will win us games. Sadly those tactics seem to involve a lot of crosses.

Thankfully cannot get two English teams

This is the best time to beat them when they have injuries to key players and trying to change tactics.

No doubt we will be involved in a lot of turgid games in the league this season so having him at least as one of the 5 subs to come on and at least try something different other than relying on a Tav set piece, corner, penalty or cross would be good

Don't think he has played for 3 weeks now so better bringing him on 2nd half rather than risking him early

Better of the 2 draws

Draw will still take about 2 hours

He has played 23 league games over the last two seasons with 5 of them being as a sub. Given O’Riley plays most weeks and thus contributes you can’t compare him to a player that plays on average 1 in 3 and contributes 1 in 6

I thought Roofe was not in the UEFA squad https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/clubs/50121--Rangers/squad/

We don't need someone like Jimmy Bell what we need is a manager who has a vision of how he wants the team to play. Also have a joined up thinking about what type of player we want along with the positions. We just seemed to have bought lots of forward players but Beale does not have a plan how to get the ball into them other than cross it. Mental to think today was crying out for someone like Arfield who could be a good shout to come on and change a game when the defence seems impenetrable.

I reckon it will be back to Gerrards how the fuck can they not play like this in the league type of performance on Wednesday

We will probably get a few goals 2nd half but its the usual story we struggle to break down teams till they eventually tire and the 36th cross or something is headed in or handled for Tav to score.
