    Ibrox_Nights got a reaction from HG5 in *****The Official Ajax v Rangers Match Thread*****   
    I wasn't taking it personally my friend, just wanted to point out that there are many who have thought the direction of the squad was worrying.
    The EL run was great, of course, but it did a lot to mask serious issues in planning, and as you say, player recruitment.
    People were smugly championing the resigning of players like Arfield by virtue of a goal against Livingston in the league opener, as if that was enough to justify signing on players who should have been moved on a season or two ago. And that is just one example. Things are now coming home to roost and people are getting an unfortunate reality check.

    I think he's far to cautious as a manager, I would have one or two of the youths playing every week. They either sink or swim imo, they can't be any worse than some of the players performing at present. 
    Look at King tonight hardly looked out of place yet can't get a game against yer St jonstones and Kilmarnocks.

    I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve expected this squad to come out the traps flying after a previous embarrassment only to have them lay broken eggs once again. FS, this is OUR club they’re getting the PRIVILEGE of representing and these abject shite don’t-give-a-toss performances are dragging the great name of this club across a clarty bog floor. If you don’t take pride in pulling on that jersey then GTF and let someone step in that does. Absolutely raging after witnessing the timid shite we’ve been subjected to over the last two matches.:

    Bar maybe Lawrence none of the new signings inspire me.  Don’t look an improvement in anything we had/have and look distinctly unsuited to the physicality and demands of winning the League in Scotland.

    The first paragraph says it all really. Full agreement.
    On the FFP, how many clubs have UEFA magicked up to put on that, though? And, more importantly, how many real world sanctions will follow through from it. We absolutely have to reduce the wage bill, though. Not in any small measure due to the fact there is an abundance of utter crap on it or players who spend half their time on the treatment table.

    Can people stop talking about repaying directors loans. All loans provided by directors have been converted to equity. The only loan to be paid back was 5m to King and that was repaid Oct 2021. The accounts as at 30tb June 2021 had 12m of loans and the notes to the accounts clearly stated, 5m repayable to King, 2m Covid assistance loans interest free and repayable over 20 years and 5m director loans which were to be converted to equity when they came to the end of their term.

    I was always under the impression, likewise, that most of these loans, the theory behind them was that they would be converted to shares. Barring a compete collapse of a portfolio, one would imagine anyone with a major stake in the club (remembering of course it isn't a case of a majority shareholder a la Murray any longer) would be independently wealthy enough to stick to the gameplan.

    Obviously, however, the amount of income generated to our net spend is somewhat contrasting wouldn't you say?
    And on director loans, they can't defer those repayments until they think we are in a better state squad wise. Or if they do, then that is even more worrying. They either care more about their own loan being repayed or have a grossly misguided read on our current set of players.

    Disagree. He’s been a great player, at times, albeit inconsistently. But I don’t think he’s ever been captain material. We need a proper leader, something I struggle to see in any of our current players unfortunately

    I think you should look up the term. You are the one banging on about us being, oh 'monitored'. As are about half the top clubs in Europe. In practical terms it means fuck all.

    Squad has been too big for years filled with utter shite like zungu, simpson, sakala, barker etc etc
    Players the fans know won't make it but we sign them anyway, never mind the injury prone players we constantly waste our money on. The club is not performing and the europa league run papered over the cracks

    Agreed. But he was getting none, and was as good as a man down. Worth punting Morelos on to try something different.

    Totally agree re. Wilson, but I cannot believe there weren't funds to add at least a couple of bits of quality given the income and then the guaranteed CL money on top of that.

    Defence is a fucking clownshow. We have spent the two biggest sums of our 'wonderful' transfer window on defenders who are nowhere near the first eleven.
    Our undroppable vice captain who thinks he is Beckenbauer can't even fucking defend a set piece that a team full of jobbers or plumbers could have scored against you with.

    As good a player as Bassey is, his one weakness is heading a ball. Barisic and Tav should exploit this area with tons of crosses into Colak.

    We dont need a DOF , we have never needed one and we certainly dont need one as bad as this useless prick.
    Makes you wonder how any manager with a bit of bottle would agree to somebody else scouting players for his team , when its him thats going to be blamed when they fail and him thats losing his job because of it.
