It's turns out it's not that easy to get the right manager, at the right time. And a very expensive mistake if you get it wrong. Clubs up and down the country are hiring and firing all the time. Ask five different supporters who they want as manager and you'll possibly get five different answers. But after five failures in a row we must get it right this time. I wonder if there is a fan committee (say of up to 10 fans) within the structure set up by the Board......I've known that a fan committee can be very useful to the Board or First Team of Staff.

This current board are certainly not sharp-tacks but I do at least have faith they want the club to thrive...they just don't know how to do it. I can't believe our choice is between a well-meaning incompetent board and vultures like Whyte/Ashley. And King is not a vulture?

Unless of course the message you so eloquently covey is replicated in the thousands. For what it's worth I've already sent off something similar so I can totally understand exactly how you feel. Its only one mans opinion but again for what it's worth, it seems to me our first major battle is coming to the agreement within ourselves that under this administration our club is fucked. Such has been the level of utterly shambolic governance under Kings tenure I have absolutely no confidence whatsoever he or his board can turn this around. Although I'm fully aware many more on here have been saying this far longer than me, I've been banging this drum since Sunday night because that was my rock bottom. To echo the sentiment of the OP I'd urge each and every true Rangers fan to see the truth. Don't let your love for the club blind you from doing what's right for Rangers. Despite their best efforts what we've witnessed thus far is NOT what we expect of our board so please, let these people know your feelings without any further delay. Good post mate, unfortunately there are not enough folk in our support who will get up off their arses and put pen to paper. King and this board are going to destroy OUR Club simply because King is toxic in the business world and no one, but no one, is going to do business with the convicted tax dodger. I would rather they all fucked off and for someone else to come in. To those who say "who is out there", I say, there will always be someone out there, ready for the moment King & Co. are gone. Yes, this is a gamble, but if we are to stick with King, we are fucked, with someone else, we may not be. alibali59 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong we need the loans, but that's caused by some awful decisions being made by them and their failure to get us to break even. It's largely our money that's being spent (plus revenue streams) not theirs. Of courses they're putting money into the club, it would be different if the loans were to be repaid, or they were commercially benefiting from the loans. Sure they'll get shares for their cash but they already have control of the club. The loans/shares conversion seems the obvious way for them to invest. This is entirely different from Murray's investment, which were mainly loans from banks/ticketus etc to be repaid with interest and fees. Or Ashleys were he had his own commercial interests for his investment. Or Greens who was out to make a fast buck. Or Whyte who was Murrys fall guy. The board could of easily invested their cash in the stock market for a handsome return, or blown it on the high life, so we should give them some credit for investing their not so hard earned cash. It doesn't mean that they don't deserve the criticism they're receiving for one blotched managerial appointment after another. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not investing in the club, the money is simply filling a funding gap as we're running at a loss. As it is, they'll get it all back when they decide to cash out at some point. @five stars With Heart and Hand 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
