Another 3 this year and it will only be a few years before they are the worlds most successful club. What a incredible state of affairs. 3 years ago the board promised to invest to stop their dominance. 3 fucking years ago. And we've suffered nothing but failure since. We're tarnishing every other record on the park so why not rip up that too? It would be truly devestating if that was taken away too. That would be worse than them reaching 10 but something makes me think they two records will go hand in hand the way it's going. It's fucking shite!

I agree. what hurts most, is that whilst the board are playing at being custodians of Rangers, our titles, records and trophy history is being crushed.

Far to many think it’s a matter of weeks not seasons Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_1 1,136 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 The board have made investments into the squad, enough so that we should at the very least be comfortably the 2nd best team in the country and at the very least closing the gap towards celtic, if not challenging them just yet. With the money we've spent and the wages we pay, that should be what is expected. However all of their decisions in the way that money has been spent, and who they've entrusted with spending their money has been the wrong person for the job and that blame lies firmly at their doorstep. Now we are in a position where, do they again fork out to have a new manager spend a similar amount to try close the gap? I would suggest our wage bill is now higher this season than it was last season so do we increase it even more, subsequently adding to our already rising debt level? They are now in a catch 22 situation and it's all created by themselves and the incompetent people they employed. This board don't deserve another 'three year plan'. They've blown their chance and it's now time to find new owners with more intelligence and competence than these idiots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've paid a lot for there ST's and feel robbed by the team not showing up on the park. It's good to win, a draw is acceptable and as long as the teams put 100% effort we'll take a loss on the chin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,626 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Right now I'd just love to see a plan, any cohesive structured and sensible plan, instead of us being rudderless and freefalling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind the mayhem the mere thought of having titles stripped under the spivs? I don't see how this is any different mate. Our board are sitting back and allowing such an average celtic side to lift trophies at will. It's a clear dereliction of duty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your wish under this board seems to have been Granted for years to come, bar the Sustained Title challenge as we will be out of that race before Christmas every year under this board.
