  1. Pish PLG was not suited to the Scottish game and we were dire under him. Rose tinted specs he actually had a horrendous record

    On 11 March 2006, it was confirmed that Paul Le Guen had agreed to replace Alex McLeish as manager of Rangers starting in the 2006–07 season.[2] Le Guen signed a three-year contract[3][4] with the option to extend his stay at Ibrox,[1] and quickly acquired a number of players.

    However, Le Guen made a poor start to his Ibrox career. His record across his first ten league games was the worst start to a season by an Old Firm debutant since John Greig's team won only two, drew six and lost two of their opening ten games in 1978–79.[5]

    On 8 November, Rangers were knocked out of the Scottish League Cup at the quarter-final stage by First Division side St. Johnstone. The result, the first time Rangers had been knocked out of a cup tournament by a lower league side at home,[6][7] prompted protests outside Ibrox and demands for the situation to improve.[citation needed]

    On 1 January 2007, Rangers announced that Le Guen had stripped Barry Ferguson of his captaincy of the club and dropped him from the squad for a match the following day. BBC Sport reported that Ferguson would not play for Rangers again under Le Guen.[8]

    Murray announced on 4 January 2007 that Paul Le Guen had left Rangers by mutual consent.[9] This made him the club's shortest-serving manager, and the only one to leave the club without completing a full season in charge.[citation needed]

    Le Guen's European record with Rangers has been described as being 'excellent' after remaining unbeaten in the Uefa Cup and finishing at the top of their group.[10][11] Although it was the poor domestic results that ultimately led to his departure.[10]

    Again PLG real record not the what if

  2. its difficult if the team is working against you though. but its difficult to really say how he would have done

    Yes but i remember the boos and losses have you forgotten. Septic were rank and we were been anniilhated

  4. Van wolfswinkel came to the epl with an incredible club and European record. Utter pish to say otherwise, sadly strikers need to score goals and he hasn't had any luck at Norwich.

    Must be the manager to blame if ye go by the posters on here

  5. "From the financially crippling Craig Whyte era to the shambolic reign of Charles Green, McCoist has had little support from above and Rangers little long-term vision as off-field distractions have continued to dominate matters.

    It is hard not to have sympathy for the situation the 51-year-old finds himself in but there will come a point for fans where those feelings will run out and McCoist the manager will have to be looked at in the cold light of day.

    The chances of him not taking his place in the dugout next season are remote and he deserves, for everything he has done for Rangers, the chance to return the club to the top flight.

    It is then Rangers have to know whether he should stay or he should go."

    For me that is my overriding view in spite of my anxieties

  6. As bad as the current side looks, Barrie McKay played plenty of games last season in a side that was considerably worse.

    I agree he needed more experience but it may be worth recalling if needs must a lot/most of our guys are in poor form how is his?

  7. McKay's final ball was always pretty poor but he was never afraid to take defenders on , id have him back pronto, better than what we have, what's Ally's problem with Dean Shields? still think he's the best finisher we have.

    It was not Ally's problem he played Dean SHIELS but his form was poor, end of. I should mention i like DS and hope he starts as we need someone with a bit of experience

  8. Plenty are keen to suggest anyone who isn't demanding McCoists head on a platter aren't 'real fans'.

    I agree but having said that i can understand how angry and frustrated all feel. Both viewpoints are fine and have reasoning but some individuals go to far. Loyalty and "though the streets be broad and narrow" are fast dwindling from Ibrox. We live in a consumer driven time where fans are impatient and demand immediate. On one hand ye have folks saying we need to have a strategy of self-development and then when play/loss occurs all of that is forgotten and on the other we have "faith and perseverance" which is slowly eroding

  9. On Sunday not long after the defeat I said that it was time for Ally the do the honourable thing and step down. I have not changed my mind about that, and I sincerely hope that come the end of the season, his swan song will be lifting the Scottish cup. Rangers means a hell of a lot to us fans, of that there is no question, I would wager that it means the same if not more to him. We lost a cup final, a minor trophy but a trophy none the less and while there is no shame in defeat, the manner in which we lost leaves a dark cloud hanging over the club and its world renowned support. I got to thinking about Mr Struth and found this, which most of you will have read but I think it is pertinent right now; When being presented with the portrait that now hangs in the Ibrox trophy room, Bill Struth said: I have been lucky, lucky in those who were around me from the boardroom to the dressing-room. In time of stress, their unstinted support, unbroken devotion to our club and calmness in adversity eased the task of making Rangers FC the premier club in this country. To be a Ranger is to sense the sacred trust of upholding all that such a name means in this shrine of football. They must be true in their conception of what the Ibrox tradition seeks from them. No true Ranger has ever failed in the tradition set him." Our very success, gained you will agree by skill, will draw more people than ever to see it. And that will benefit many more clubs than Rangers. Let the others come after us. We welcome the chase. It is healthy for us. We will never hide from it. Never fear, inevitably we shall have our years of failure, and when they arrive, we must reveal tolerance and sanity. No matter the days of anxiety that come our way, we shall emerge stronger because of the trials to be overcome. That has been the philosophy of the Rangers since the days of the gallant pioneers.

    The fans are hurting, the club is hurting and right now there appears to be no real way out of this situation. I see three very possible options at the moment 1) Ally gets the sack and in the interim Kenny or Ian is appointed caretaker for the utd game, we all know what happened the last time Durrant managed the side, 2) the status quo remains and we lurch from one Omni shambles to the next 3) Ally steps down after getting us to the championship and getting the Scottish cup (however unlikely the cup win maybe). Win the semi final and I think we should fully support him for the final, full backing regardless of the performance, lose and there should be a full card and banner display at the next home game saying "ALLY, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING BUT NOW ITS TIME TO WALK AWAY" or words to that effect, nothing rude or insulting but straight to the point and as respectful as possible.

    To hurt and rage is fine to be intolerant to a Rangers man is not the Struth way

  10. Di Canio getting mentioned. Would be my actual worst nightmare.

    There's only 1 paulo de canio, he's a mad italiano

    He eats the pasta cos he's a ****** bastard

    Walking in a Rangers wonderland

    Who is Sean, and definitely dreaming about the two Laudrups Scottish football is a mess

  11. They don't pay us or come to watch us or keep us in a job. We go watch them every week & pay hundreds, thousands of pounds a year on tickets, transport, food, drink to go see them perform the way they do. I went to a sash bash with a couple of members on here after it but we're not the ones thousands upon thousands rely on.

    Aye i know, i already answered this. I said i do not read tabloids and going by the flack they normally get on here i am not going to pay attention now. I personally was raging and had a wee orange sing song on the pc myself (i could not face the Rangers ones). My guess is it was to be a celebration and yes i would have cancelled it Struth would be beratting them not partying, the point been each individual unwinds differently :thumbup:

  12. I have to agree the team was dreadful and there did not seem to be any actual game plan. I thought RR was so poor amateurs could have got goals past them. Law/Daly looked unfit to me. Foster did make some attempts but even when he tried to go forward the ball went back. Clark was invisible. Moshni seems to tire and has poor ball control and Ally had no game plan
