    If the Rangers support were a jury, I think it would safe to say we had reached a majority rather than a unanimous decision on Pedro. An early exit to European minnows from Luxembourg on the back of an embarrassing defeat to our greatest rivals at home, whilst losing our long-established home record to the sheep would suggest that a fairly compelling prima facie case had been established by that majority.

    Furthermore, an inauspicious start to the season makes it all the more difficult to introduce a reasonable element of doubt into the minds of those who are currently sitting in the majority camp and whose minds are clearly made up so to speak.

    Should we pause for a moment and recall Advocaat’s multi-million £ squad, albeit not with home advantage, losing 6-2 at Parkhead? Should we consider that even some great Rangers managers, with far more settled squads suffered worse starts in their first 3 games of the domestic league? Should we ponder the fact that abysmal refereeing had a major say in 2 of our last 3 league games?

    Perhaps we could reflect on the fact we are into a rebuilding programme which is clearly not yet complete, before we decide to sack the architect.

    The first few years of Sir Alex Ferguson’s tenure at Manchester United were characterised by something of a roller coaster ride which saw them take a few backward steps before their record winning period of success. Having been appointed in 1986, it was season 92/93 before the Reds won their first championship under the tenure of Sir Alex. While such a comparison certainly qualifies as an “apples and oranges” evaluation, the virtues of patience and a realistic assessment of the challenges faced should not be excluded either.

    As always, the OF games will have a considerable bearing on the manager’s future. We have to hope Kranjcar’s recent interview where he suggested we could lose all 4 OF games and still challenge for the title is a form of delusion exclusive to Niko, and not the rest of the dressing room or the management.

    There is a popular saying that the “league table never lies”. Would it be prudent to wait until the end of the season and put this theory to the test rather than jump on the managerial merry go round prematurely?

     Naw

     Fix bayonets.

    Weiss won a double here, embraced the club, but is now vilified by the support for having a twitter account.  Vuckic did well in a Rangers jersey but that was written off as meaningless since it was Championship football.  Hyndman did well for us initially but we had guys on here saying 'he was playing as part of a shite team and therefore his contribution was over exaggerated'.  Even Toral, who has previously won POTY for a Championship Club, is now labelled as "dug pish" after a poor few months for us.  Oduwa and Zelalem are technically gifted young players who our support just didn't take to either.  This young guy from Man City hasn't even played yet and he's being written off as 'another Dalcio'.  Dalcio is another youngster we have on loan who, after playing two competitive games for us, has been completely written off by our support.  These young guys are quite literally damned if they do, and damned if they don't.  We would be better off not bringing them in at all.

    Hand on heart - I hated (still do) every one of those cunts.

    Whither now, Messrs Oduwa, Zelalem, Vuckic?

    Absolute disgrace we have a 38 year old striker playing in CM when we spent millions on a player who is nowhere near the first team.

    What's the rest of the season got to do with it? The topic is regarding todays result. I'd love for Pedro to succeed and prove the doubters wrong but I just don't see it. I do hope he succeeds just like I did Warburton but on the evidence so far I just don't think he has the goods.

    My apologies. That wasn't clear from your original post.
