gersandy 594 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Silly stuff Black and Daly have performed at a level this boy may never reach whatever you think of the pair of them.Blacks last performance was the scottish cup final for hearts, maybe 3 years ago. Daly has came in, granted hes scored a few goals, but done nothing else for the team.Would a youngster benefited more with a good run in the team? Maybe.Were talking about 2nd and 3rd division players here. No disrespect, but these guys are firefighters and binmen by day.Bringing in Daly and Black on around 10 grand a week is needless.Giving youngsters a chance in these leagues was a once and a lifetime opportunity, and rangers failed miserably. More money should've been injected into the youth system and getting a better coaching team behind these youngsters.But most importantly, these youngsters needed a good 20 or 30 games. Some blame has to fall to us, the fans, for demanding instant success. AllyDawson72 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllyDawson72 213 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 You seem clueless. I dont think you grasp the demands of Rangers supporters at all.That's a bit much.What were the demands of our support then when we were playing in a PT league?It's embarrassing the way we have went about moving back up the leagues and potentially can still bite us in the arse.Nobody will look back on last season and say 'that was the best team ever to grace the lower divisions' , it was painful to watch.You would be a fool to not think we have blown a wonderful opportunity to rebuild without the mhanks breathing down our necks.We would have won those leagues with half the squad we have. We didnt need Black, Smith, Foster, Daly, Perluta, Clabiri or Shiels. The players we had left complimented by youth would have more than sufficed.Where your demands 'met'? Because if simply winning the league by means of having superior fitness to binmen and students is the benchmark for you then I despair. I really do.We have a whole team that needs replaced when we go back up. We also have a manager who is our biggest liability. Short term goals have been met at the expense of long term stability, it's a car crash and only the most deluded deny it is anything else.The poster your quoting is spot on and reflects the views of the vast majority of our fans.

Jimfanciesthedude 24,359 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Little: he was at the end of his contract - should we have given him another contract and them gamble on getting a fee? I'm not sure your coming across like you know how contracts and transfers work these days.Well we gave hutton a new deal when he's clearly not going to play much, what does that say about our policies Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Well we gave hutton a new deal when he's clearly not going to play much, what does that say about our policiesI know you struggle with the concept of squad - and I know that every young player we don't play is a Messi in waiting - but Hutton is a decent squad player, with a decent amount of experience and good cover. Last year of our 4 recognised CM players - Hutton was out injured a long spell, as was McLeod - so Law and Black played - this season it might end up being another two with spells out injured, and if not out injured offering competition for places - Hutton offers both competition and is a decent squad member - no real issues in giving him another years deal. iang2911 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm bitter about the turgid predictable style of football we play. I'm bitter about our manager and coaching staff for taking the best part of 1.5 mill a year to inflict us with this particular 'brand'. I'm bitter about the amount of dead wood earning thousands playing for us that will need replaced when we are back at the top. I'm bitter about one of our brightest prospects going to scumdee because (like the rest of the youth team) he is demoralised at the lack of chances afforded to the youth. I'm bitter about our dismal cup record and when we finally get to a final we get beat of the mighty Raith Rovers and deservedly so! I'm bitter that we have a board who imo could very well take us back into Admin.Positives for me?Lewis Macleod - If played in the right position will be a future international.Cammy Bell and Lee Wallace - mainstays until the end of their careers. Great players.Our support - getting worldwide recoginition and proving to be the best in the world again! Right_To_Censor 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyserSoze 14,438 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Rangers youth chief Jim Sinclair insists teenage midfielder Charlie Telfer, who recently snubbed a contract at Ibrox to move to Dundee United, is not yet ready for first team football.Full story: Scottish Sun (print edition)The word is "snubbed" does that mean we didn't offer him pots of money and golden unicorns to keep him, because Telfer wants to be a superstar before he has learned to be a football player. He must have been offered something to "snub" it? ergo we wanted to keep him. Trouble nowadays is young boys want it too quickly - he is still a "prospect" and if big Jim says "not yet" then that is good enough for me. leaving this great club for anyone else, says more about the player than it does about us.
