Hoss 267 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I'll be honest, the way we have changed our formation and ethos in the past 2 games has brought the best out of a lot of players. Imagine we beat Hearts and they drop points to Aberdeen. Maximum points from our next 2 games see's us right in there. It would then be crazy to let him go! Keep him, go for a monumental push for the league, and maybe, just maybe, he fires us in to the CL? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the SPL, better teams playing in it means we get stronger and better football creates more of an interest which in turn gets a better TV deal so on. Rodgers however much we hate him is relatively high profile and English football will be watching him Steve Clarke again well known in England so will be being watched I genuinely think is not putting a higher profile manager in place will have cost us and Scottish football. Say we appointed big Sam, he is someone who would of attracted attention, 3 well known managers who would want to do well may well have pushed viewing figures up so the SFA could then negotiate more money which would be distributed and with any luck other teams would look to do the same. Yes we all hate the other teams but in the bigger picture stuff like Dundee and Aberdeen building new stadium's and training grounds will hopefully improve quality throughout the league and better quality means that Rangers may do better when getting into Europe.

I know you never mentioned the National team but I thought it relevant because it should represent the epitome of where the Scottish game is at. The stuff about Aberdeen hopefully developing a new stadium for the good of the game is fucking nauseating to be honest - we do not need a strong Scottish game to flourish - we never have - as the examples I’ve given show Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand many will have the blue tinted glasses on but a stronger game with more money will be better in the long term, do you really want to be in a 2 horse race and watching punt it up the park football against the smaller teams then doing shit in Europe because all the other leagues are better with more money or would you prefer a competitive league and being better prepared for coming up against better teams in Europe?

I’ve no problem with a 2 horse race it doesn’t have an impact on Europe if we have the right team and do it right - again as per the examples I’ve given of the 3 times in recent years and that’s just the 3 best years there’s been another 2/3 years celtic were in last 16 if CL, a season we did it too and were a Boyd sitter away from quarters and times we’ve been unlucky with the group stages in the Advocaat years - we’ve never had a strong Scottish League or anything but a two horse race ... in fact the time we had the last 16 in CL we finished third with proves my point further we only need the right Rangers to fuck with a strong Scottish League Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s almost on a par with King wanting us to share titles with celtic so it’s more interesting and for the good of Scottish football if you want to be entertained then there’s other leagues for that I just want a strong successful Rangers, not having a great league with several teams all going for the title at the expense of our success i see where people are coming from thinking a strong Scottish League = a better Rangers but I don’t agree there’s zero proof of that and again the examples I gave backs it up how anyone can support Rangers And hope the likes of Aberdeen and Dundee get nice new stadiums for the good of the Scottish game is beyond me let’s go the whole hog and support celtic against zenit for the co efficient then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you honestly not want the Scottish game to grow and improve? Like someone posted earlier we are known as a pub league and if it doesn't improve we will go backwards and have very little chance of attracting decent players or having a decent run in Europe.

plumbGER 24,518 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Teams in the Dutch league have received decent money for players and their league is quite competitive, but the Dutch national team are pish and their clubs rarely challenge for European honours, 2002 was the last time they won something. If Hibs receive big money for McGinn it will likely offset the big money they have been shelling out to get out the championship (at last) and have a go at the SPL.
