Not from me. A proper manager would have wiped the floor with Motherwell and had the tie out of sight in the first half.

Despise that mutant to the highest level. A despicable bastard of a man. How he got another job in football after crying about not getting the Celtic job at his Aberdeen managerial announcement press conference is beyond me.

We do, i would say 2, but a new manager is far more important right now.

We keep making the same mistakes and we keep losing the same type of goals. That is down to one man. I am astonished but not surprised he is still in a job. He is useless. Today was another disaster for him, Kenny Miller papered the cracks this afternoon.

Tom Miller is a fan who has a job as the club commentator, he knows next to nothing about the game bar ancient stats and figures and animal comparisons. He's a tube. A dreadful commentator who talks utter nonsense during matches. No one should be taking what he says seriously.

Sign up Neil McCannas a coach? Based on what? Because he can read the game from a TV screen? Get real. He has absolutely no track record of working with or developing players or making teams better. He's a pundit who is honest and can read the game. What he would make is a fantastic analyst for the club, not a coach ffs.

It's nothing to do with playing for Celtic. He is simply nowhere near the status or stature of a Meiklejohn, Greig, McCoist, Jardine, Cooper or Johnstone etc etc. That word gets used far too much, almost to an embarrassing level. Kenny Miller is a terrific servant to Rangers Football Club but fuck sake, he's won about 3 or 4 trophies or something for the club. Effectively nothing. He's a model professional, nothing more.

I feel our club should be showing at least the same ambition as Celtic and doing everything and anything we can to keep up with them financially. Whether it takes 5 years 10 years or 20 years to pay for itself is irrelevant. The seats will be there forever. I cannot understand anyone or any argument for us not having the biggest capacity in the country. We claim we are the biggest club, it's time we started acting like it. There's diddy clubs the world over with larger capacity than us. Football has charged on past us in the last 10-15 years and the stadium is definitely one of those aspects the world of football has left behind. 50000 seater stadia are ten a penny these days. The excuse of not being able to fill it every week doesn't wash with me, we don't have to. I don't think there is 1 club on the planet which sells out every single week. Gate receipts are our biggest guaranteed revenue stream, there's funny money to be made from match days. More people more revenue. Little by little we grow we make more money we develop, we progress, we invest, over time that 4, 5, 6, 7 full houses a season become 10, 11, 12, 13 and all of a sudden we are self sufficient. On a financial par with Celtic and able to attract and afford players enabling us to operate properly and compete on the park with bigger clubs and better teams. Unless you think Celtic are a bigger club than us with more fans than us?

It's only way we will ever close financial gap with Celtic. They make so much money from those "few games a year". Celtic didn't fill their ground for the years before they increased to 60000 but they had ambition and a vision and knew fans would buy into it and they did. It was full for a decade after it's rebuild which paid for the build itself and now they have that financial superiority over us. These days they don't need to fill it compete with us, the seats are there, the money is there, the job is done. Add up all those extra thousands of average tickets per week, per season, multiply by average price of a ticket, it's tens upon tens of millions over the years.

Reads like made up nonsense but when inevitably someone doe come in for him, i can see this board offering a Hutton type payoff to get rid, just to make sure it happens.

They appointed a man who is responsible for all those failures so in essence they are to blame. It's their fault he is in a position to make so many mistakes and suffer so many humiliations and embarrassments. And this isn't their 1st failed appointment either by the way, this is their 2nd, in a row.

Possibly, all the while the fans suffer and MWs credibility disappears. The joke is once again, all on us.

The board are inept and every bit as clueless as him. They are playing out time hoping something clicks and he eventually gets it right. We are genuinely going nowhere right now.

On Manchester - At 4pm the Manchester Police gave the estimated crowd already in Manchester as 400,000 with all roads into the town blocked with traffic. They estimated a total of 500,000 by kick off. On Villarreal - A club statement at the time said that the club had received approx. 250000 requests for tickets. On fans walking away next year - That's upto the board to stop. They hold all the cards.

Too small for me. As stunning as it once was, its getting old and tired. Gate receipts are Rangers and Celtic's biggest guaranted revenue stream and the crowds we have had the last couple of years has shown we could clearly operate with a higher capacity. Quarter of a million fans in Mancheater, quarter of a million ticket requests for the match against Villarreal. Average attendances annually in the 90%'s. No one will ever convince me the numbers are not there. We know they are, it's about the club engaging with them and treating the fans with the respect they deserve. As the weird naked Indian once said, If you book them, they will come, well if we build it, they will come. Imagine Ibrox midweek under the lights with 65000-70000 fanatics roaring us on against a Real Madrid or Manchester City. It's all money. Speculate to accumulate is the order of the day for me. Those pics in the first post are beautiful by the way. Love them.

7 wins. No excuses.

I would tell the board to ram their £2m for Paredes, to get rid of Wilson and Kiernan, and Senderos and all 3 full backs and sign 6 new defenders good enough to do the job required of them. If the board don't have the means to make that happen to allow me to satisfy the clubs and fans ambitions then i resign. Simple. No point fannying around with dross just to play out time and suffer one embarrassment after another. A managers career is at stake and a clubs future. Changes are imperative and we need a man and a board who can make those changes happen.

You just have to look at his away record at tough away venues where motivation and man management skills are imperative. From Falkirk and Hibs to Hearts and Aberdeen to Celtic and Ross County. And the rest. He doesn't know how to win those sorts of games and players do not give him their all. That much is crystal clear. Dumplings like Christian Dailly and Kirk Broadfoot would run through brick walls for a man like Walter Smith but for MW, players are in a disgusting comfort zone.

No one knows what went on behind closed doors whether he allegedly stood his ground or not mate. What we do know is what we seen of him in person, in quotes, on radio, on TV, in a Ranger jersey and he was a disgrace to our club. Verbally, visually and physically. He treated his move to Rangers with complete and utter contempt. For what it's worth though, i think had say Walter Smith been manager things would have been completely different. Warburton doesn't strike me like a man who commands respect. Look at Barton under a proper football manager and someone no one would fanny around with in Sean Dyche.....it's night and day. Our manager is sadly a joke figure.

Paul Emslie. Marcus Gayle.

I don't think there was anything hard about that imposter. He was a coward.

I don't think we will see him again in a Rangers jersey sadly. He is also suffering from a severe case of Thomas Buffel syndrome, you would think we have Pirlo waiting to come back into the team the way some people are pinning our future on young Jordan.

Did we not beat them in the Hong Kong masters last year or year before?

Are any of them up against a club as rich or as successful as Celtic are domestically though? Feyenoord have effectively won nothing for years. Your argument would be ok if it was Aberdeen and Hearts we were competing with in Scotland but it's not, it's a club bigger and richer than any of the rivals of those clubs mention with exception of Ajax and PSV, even then, neither of them are as successful or dominant domestically as Celtic are just now. We have many fans looking for special, cheap, time consuming ways of getting back where we were when the answer is the staring us right in the face and it is the only answer. Money. We need money. We need a board able and willing to find the money we need to compete with Celtic. Moonbeams of bringing kids through and toppling them are utter garbage. Only 2 things will stop Celtic and that is buying quality players and appointing a manager who knows what he is doing.
