coisty78 15 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 What a fucking joke of a statement, coming out with this pish after taking 6 weeks to even make an approach for their first choice and then a personal jibe at Mcinness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bydo 3,215 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I've made my mind up. If this shite doesn't get sorted, and we don't manage to save face by appointing a manager with at least some credibility, I'm not renewing my ST. Think about all the shit we have had to endure, and now, finally, it's breaking point. Before someone comes along and gives it 'good riddance'- this isn't about not supporting Rangers through thick and thin... this is about deciding to stop giving money to charlatans who have absolutely no interest in treating us like valued customers, but rather gullible cash cows. Fucking sick of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And where is ashley now ? I remember the "well done king and the board" posts. And alot of them. Has our own success made our standards hard to reach, perhaps, should we rest on that, absolutely not. But its true, people greet when its going bad and anything good is written off and forgot. And before anyone says no im not a king lover , but id rather him than ashley, and the scum before him. And the point also to be made is why an apparent Rangers fan decided to turn down his big career move, unless im missing something thats not the boards fault. unless u want our chairman to beg aberdeen managers to come to us, if so then god help Rangers. Sorry mate but that’s bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

derekweir29 505 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 That statement shows everything that is wrong at our club not the standards expected. Petty and abysmal.

Was there something wrong on waiting until after the double header to make our move? It’s now revealed Mcinnes actually never spoke with us because the sheep didn’t give permission. He was given a couple of days off to think it over from an Aberdeen perspective he took two days to work out the enormity of the task he might take on and fucking shat it I’m pleased how this worked out btw and have levelled criticism at our board in the past but I’m struggling to work out how this is at their door perhaps you could?

Tamb 126 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 DM knocking us back is a real wake up call and our board must accept responsibility. Mcinness is an ex player and probably a lifelong fan, for him to turn down the opportunity of a lifetime demonstrates the inefficiency of the chairman and board. Money must be found to appoint a top manager and supply the funds to build a team capable of challenging for all trophies in this backwater country. I don' have the answer but that's what Boards and DoF's are for. D.King and his board are relying on the support to keep us afloat but ST money and home gates will ever be enough. We need big investment, not soft loans or a shuffle of shares amongst the board members. New money as well as a new manager must be found fast.

I don't know anyone who would leave a well paid stable job to take on one where you would always be on a shaky nail. You'd need to be fucking mad. You don't take on any job when there are expectations, but you don't get the tools to do it with. It is clear King is not giving any manager the funding to take on the scum, but the expectation is that they do so. Why should anyone take on the job in those circumstances? The only one I see that lacks any ambition is King/board and not any manager. We are a fucking joke and King is the lead fucking clown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

viennacalling 42 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 no fan of the board, but i'm pleased that McInnes stays at the sheep, because the task to revive the squad and the club is immense. and i don't support the call of many bears to invest in new players. the "strategy" of pedro and the quality of (most of) the players he brought in shows, that there is only one way: invest in your youth-system. bring in the young ones - from scotland and abroad. you can't compete on this stupid transfermarket from a smaller league. waning pacience? announcing to return a season ticket??? - come on, lads that's not Rangers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's taken the safe option and he's played a blinder from his own perspective. He's now turned down us and Sunderland. Barring a complete collapse, he's virtually unsackable there now.
