Well david edgar quotes a membership of 5 thousand and if u have ever been in the club deck it would be hard to imagine a very large membership coming from the patrons. ps i am a club deck debenture holder

So with the trust and the club deck loyal being the supporters of the statement are we talking about 4-6 thousand fan representation.

Intersting to see how many have viewed the post but not voted ,probably not enough choices .

I agree the problems have not been brought about by the credit crunch .The problems seem to be a lack of structure regarding team building ,player recruitment ect. A MCleish was employed by rangers during an apparent attemt to downsize the club. In his first full season he won the treble with dick advocaats team,this team was then disbanded and purchases made to replace at less cost. This gave us the delights of capucho,emmerson ostenstad to name but three.The team mcleish built faltered and the next season another raft of players came in prso ,novo,boumsong .the transfer of boumsong in the january allowed us to make a couple of signings which kept the team competitive enough to win the spl on the last day. However we were left in the same situation we are in at present with players we need to get rid of and who do not want to leave,in the past we payed players off to get rid this does not seem an option at the present due to our financial problems. As i see it we must get rid of the deadwood, hedami,beasley,daily,mcculloch,adam.All of these players are available plus a few others these would be a start which would reduce our wage bill.If we were to sell 1or 2 of our stars the money raised if between 4 and 6 million would reduce wage bill give us some funds to get rid of previous named deadwood as a short term soloution. Long term, shorter contracts for players more emphasis on scottish talent and youth,and the realisation that we can only realisically compete at levels our finances dictate.These or any soloutions will not happen overnight therefore unity is required and not what seems to be manifesting itself at the present moment between the club and the various fan groups.

Pedestrian is one of the few words i can use to describe the first half, but this has been the norm for the majority of the games this season.Imo the manager must see that if we play at such a sedate pace then teams find it easy to play against, well maybe not.

You never work frankie , i agree totally with your thoughts on bargains to be had ,it makes sense if you fancy one or more of our better players you wait as long as possible to bid for them knowing that a much lower than value bid maybe succsessful due to our finances , ps preffered the blue target

Have not read any of the posts but have just voted and looked at the results of the polls. How anyone can say that naismith and fleck deserved the marks they got imo is nonesense . problems in the first half came from naismith not playing the position he had been asked to play properly ie midfield not left winger. Fleck in the 11mins of play he was on for i think touched the ball once .But it just continues to show the mindset of posters on this forum. Boogie was my man of the match followed closely by mcgregor and davis for his second half performance the rest barely made pass marks with papac having a particularly poor first half(see naismith comment).

Be careful what you wish for,there"s no knight in shining armour or some rich arab ,russian,lithuanian ,ect waiting in the wings we will just have to get on with it ,we made our beds so we"ll just have to lie in them.

We have got a problem and the short term fix seems to raise 3 million pounds what is going to happen at the end of the season if we don"t win the league .Will we then have to move on at least four of our top earners to reduce the cash flow problems.The situation we have found ourselves in is not going to go away, and imo the problems seem that they will get worse. However if this means we have to use the youngsters from murray park to bolster the squad as well as reasonably priced scottish talent the so be it. There will be a knock on effect that we will fall further behind celtic in the short term but in the long term with prudent fiscal policies (no its no sdm speaking) we hopefully come out stronger .but we are in for some serious pain before that

exactly

When planning permisson was given a few months ago murray said in the present economic climate no development of the stadium would take place investment partners are required for the proposed development of the area surrounding ibrox

Another strange post ,just in case you had not noticed sdm wants out he does not want a club he can no longer afford to run in the same manner as before so telling him to leave will achieve nothing .apart from giving yourself heartburn

To loyal, maybe not loyal enough players come and go thats the nature of football ,the recent ones for the majority of the fans of this forum.reyna,albertz,gascoinge,van bronckhurst,laudrup,amuruso.Just some of the players we have sold but the majority of us keep going, at times like these we need to be more loyal and support the players who are picked to play. We should all understand that we cannot continue to run the club with a balance sheet like ours,if the answer is selling players to raise funds then thats just the way it is and has to be ,we can blame everyone from the chairman down to the wee lassie selling the half time draw tickets but the bottom line is rangers will still be there and so will the fans so we need more loyalty Remember we are the people

4.5million let him go lose one get two

Read in the papers at the weekend "any"game miller and boyd have started as a partnership the team has not lost, if this is true then that"s good enough for me ,as long as i see 2 magpies and wear my lucky clobber everything will be fine, i think

MOORE,MUSCAT, AND GRANT BREBNER, WERE THE THREE INVOLVED IN BETTING ON MATCHES IN THE AUSTRALIAN LEAGUE.BREBNER IS ADDICTED SO SO NO SUPRISE THERE. FINES AND SUSPENSIONS HANDED OUT TO ALL THREE

Just back from the match,felt we lacked width and made to many bank passes to try and break hibs down. We passed the ball well but overdid it on numerous occasions one pass needed not three, Hibs played exactly how i expected ,if anybody watched them against celtic they would have known what to expect,tf we scored when we did it would have been difficult the longer the game went on.

IF plg had stayed would we be happy that this season we may have been challenging for second, because imo thats how long it would have taken him to build his team. I don"t think so ,lyon are struggling thats the reason psg and others are closer this seaon

BEST 3-0 game january 1975 this was the result the began the end of septics 9iar dominance Worst 5-1 at darkhead when wilson got sent off and lubo had a field day

Its all about your installation sky and setanta use different satellites and your installation needs tweaked to get stronger signal from setanta satallite

Watching the game today i came to the conclusion that whittaker cannot defend i have always thought that he was better than broadfoot going forward and not as good a defender this player either plays right midfield or better still sell him in january the thought of him against mickgeady or the other lepreachun fills me with dread .The team we have just now is trying to win the spl not compete in the cl broadfoot does ok at the level were at just now so a right back imo is not a priority ,the problem i see is the managers inability to make "tactical changes" during the game as yet again he seemed oblivious to the fact that untd had put an extra man in the middle of the park in the second half thereforew negating our 2 midfielders ,fergie and pedro. We need cb cover or we go with lee whos a better cb than a midfielder And before all you firesale experts jump in if you get rid of all the players some of you posters want to get rid of who the fuck r we going to have as cover

Is it not the case that against better opposition we don`t get the ball into the box enough therefore ws thinks we need a different type of forward ie someone who holds the ball up runs the channels ect

Is it a coincidence that apart from the first half against caley that we have played our best football with the 4-5-1 formation Miller played wide left in these games and we looked more solid in defense and midfield. IMO the fullbacks are not the problem but the continuity between midfield and front. Next weeks team hopefully mcgregor broadfoot boogie weir sasa burke davis fergie mendes miller boyd
