Okay, I'm a little biased so I have to go with Boca. Been following him too long.

After reading many a post, I find it so difficult to understand several things and wonder what is wrong with the media in the UK. First off, the piling on is rediculus. Even in UFC the ref eventually steps in a stops a slaughter. There is no sporting integrity in beating a beaten man(or club). I am at a loss why the SPL and SFA havent been held accountable for their role in this mess. When the money was coming in they just kept quiet. When Murray sold the club to Whyte for £1 someone must have thought something was up. Before Whyte had been in control for a whole year the club went into administration . So he apparently had no financial backing to continue to operate the club at its previous level and he had also inherited many issues which he had no ability to correct. These two people need to be held responsible for their actions as these actions must be criminal. This great club was valued at over 170 million US Dollars as recently as 2008. Why was a real owner not found. If a tow truck driver from Tennesee was interested in plopping down $50 million I'm sure a more acceptable person or group could have been found. The £5.5 million for the clubs assets bothers me because its doesnt show me the ability to run the club. Still too much information is missing for me. Also I enjoy many of the posts here , lots of great info and opinions . My main reservation is that I cant stomach the endless sectarian crap. I hope this week things get straightened out. Rangers FC is truly a great club and has some of the best fans in the world.

Hey Mongoose, Not sure you understood my post. Not worrying about reserves at all. Just that these kids should be at the level to step in to the first team to help if not dominate against 3rd division teams. This is still Rangers FC with supposedly quality ,not some 3rd division reserves that got pulled from the pub. Most spl/sfl teams dont have near the talent in the organization that Rangers have. Maybe I'm wrong.

As I am new to the forum, could anyone fill me in on why the reserve team and U19 team are not talked about ? Are they not good enough to compete or even dominate the lower 2 leagues ? I would think that the Rangers reserve team should win the 3rd division on their own without all the knashing of teeth going on . This is Rangers FC , these players should be at a high level just to be considered for a spot on the reserve team. If not they should be replaced and whomever is responsible for them should be let go. This is Rangers FC not some part time club team that draws 300 fans a match. Here in the states the Rangers are highly regarded. Not for the owners, but for the players and the fans who make the club great.
