[islandblue 366]

If you think things couldn’t get worse listen to this car crash of an interview just released. I always suspected he was a fud but this is beyond fuddery. 5 days to come up with this pile of patronising shite

[K.A.I 36,183]

Guys another walloper.

Seems to be a condition of having a blazer or a position at our club. Oh your a smarmy prick? talk in riddles? a liar? skint? or just plain inept at your job? welcome to Rangers.

Our recovery is ahead of the curve apparently

[watpnosurrender 274]

he thinks we have made progress fucking deluded

[cushynumber 25,178]

RANGERS are ahead of the curve in their recovery despite the current disarray at Ibrox, according to director Alastair Johnston.

The Ibrox club were in the bottom tier of Scottish football in 2012 after their financial implosion and are now in their second season back in the Ladbrokes Premiership.

 CAlastair Johnston says Rangers are doing better than he expected since the dark days of 2012

But the chasm between the second-placed Light Blues and rivals Celtic was again highlighted in Sunday’s Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden Park, where a 4-0 thrashing extended Gers’ winless run against Brendan Rodgers’ side to 10 games.

To add to Rangers’ woes, club captain Lee Wallace and veteran striker Kenny Miller were suspended pending an investigation into claims of a heated exchange with Graeme Murty, who after a second spell as caretaker was in December given the manager’s job until the end of the season.

Johnston insists Murty’s position is currently being evaluated in an “objective” way.

But asked about the club’s progress since coming back to the top flight in 2016, he told PA Sport: “We are probably doing a little better than we would have imagined back in the dark days of running out at Brechin in the fourth tier.

NY RAMSAY - THE SUN GLASGOW

Johnston says they won’t be rushed into a decision over Murty’s future

“So you have to look back. The fans have been terrific, as I would have expected them to be, to hang in there and hopefully they will be rewarded.

“In terms of looking forward from where we were four or five years ago at the bottom, the progress that has been gradually made, we are probably ahead of the curve in reality if we finish second or third.

“We are making progress.

“Hopefully the curve will be fast but it is still going to be gradual, it is not going to happen overnight.”

Rangers supporters, however, are still reeling from their side’s dismal performance at the weekend and they see Celtic on the cusp of their seventh successive league title and a Scottish Cup final win over Motherwell away from an unprecedented successive domestic treble.

It is widely believed there will be a new boss in place at Ibrox for next season.

However, USA-based Johnston, who joined the Rangers board last June having been chairman of the club between 2009 and 2011, insists the board will take emotion out of their decision on the future of the club’s former under-20s coach.

He said: “We have had the discipline of saying that we will evaluate the situation at the end of the season and the reason that we chose that is that at any given time during the period of his tenure there has been a lot of support for him and sometimes there has been not so much support.

“We as a board have to take a very objective view and not be kind of swayed by the last result, whether it is positive or negative.

“Certainly the weekend wasn’t a good weekend for us. I was there.

“But as I said we have to be disciplined as a board and not be swayed by the emotions at any one game.

“We have to look at the big picture. We owe that to the club, that’s what we are in place to do.”

[Garnock Blue 316]

this tells you all you need to know about the mindset of this board.....we are regally fucked

[The Covenanter 57]

Totally out of touch is an understatement.

What a dick

[Captain Hilts 12,819]

Fud.

[K.A.I 36,183]

That's made my fucking  blood bubble reading that pish.

Hopefully be rewarded.
We are making progress.
When you look back to where we are in 2012.
Ahead of curve, even if we finish third.

Fucking disgusting bastard. He needs removed at once (and any other cunt that thinks the same)

I think more statements should come out off the back of that clowns comments.

And you know what? above all else it strikes me as ducking any sort of responsibility. Just create a fake narrative that we are doing well and hope to brainwash cunts into thinking it. Not anymore.

Scummy bastard.

Any one game! What ones that Hamilton, Dundee,hibs st Johnstone the scum, what an idiot

[Captain Hilts 12,819]

Sick of these patronising incompetent cunts.

[Amokachi 3,009]

Concerning when you question the integrity & sanity of our board members as much as the ability & mindset of our players.  

[Moody Blue Legend 61,467]

For the love of fuck man.  Absolute banger.  He can fuck off too.

[markem 7,285]

It’s diffucult not to conclude they are trying to deliberately alienate us.  

How the fuck can you review the mood (our current mood) of your paying customer, when by the way you are asking them to pay again and hit out with that pish. 

I can honestly imagine them having conversations where they congratulate themselves on being so much cleverer than the emotive supporters.
