Well done to all members that donate to this worthwhile cause, especially thanks to all the hard work put in by GB and Zetland to make this happen

I hope Bates contract is renewed, he is showing good promise each game he plays for us, although his weakness in my opinion is his passing out from the back, although to be fair to him
he did make some good passes last night. What we are missing is a player that takes command of the game, that our players respect and look up to, we need some-one with the fire and passion of cajoling his team mates onto greater things
during the game and even in the dressing room, so that all our players know what it means to put on the blue jersey. Hopefully we will sign a leader in the next transfer window.

Excellent Video, great background music.

Really happy about this signing, he is arrogant, he is cocky, and he has a swagger about him, and most importantly he can play, his mindset has that that winning mentality that we
need from all our players from now on, and the good news reading his comments is, he is up for it, he has my vote.
Welcome Jason to the famous Glasgow Rangers.

Zetland have already paid into the bank account, I would like to donate the item back to the originally intended
person who was Samuel no 1 son, a big thank you to Zetland and govanblue for organising this auction and lastly, Happy New Year to all you bears on RM or where I am at present “Felix ano novo” sitting in front of the laptop with tea and digestives watching The Big Lebowski before hitting The town.

I was meddling about with the new phone and it led me to the auction well that’s my excuse Zetland.

No idea why so many people are writing this guy off after 5 months.
He is new to the role and will be building up a lot of knowledge on the running of the club, where it is weak and what needs to be fixed. I wouldn't have expected too much in the way of results from him for about a year.
I think that we decided to go down the route of a DoF, we should have at least gave the guy a chance.
wasn't he influential in us bringing in DJ on loan?
Totally agree with you

Depends on the club. Some clubs give the DoF full control over signing players others at least give the manager the right to say no.
There's no one defined DoF role that is the same at every club. It would totally depend on exactly what Allen's responsibilities are.
Some DoF's are responsible for every aspect of the football operations. Board have virtually no input and leave them to run the football club.
Others give them responsibility for the business aspect of the football dept. - given a budget and have to work within it in whatever way they see fit but management team have more input into stuff like overall coaching philosophy, tactical style etc
A third way is that he is essentially a link between the manager and board and is less of a hands on role.
A fourth is they have responsibility for all footballing aspects other than the first team which is left to the manager.
There are more. But you'll get the gist
You make some interesting points above

There’s a growing section of supporters very quickly losing patience with the directors and their running of the club since sweeping to power in 2015. Despite heavily spending on reinforcements in the summer, Rangers are still miles off celtic and could end up 12 points behind Aberdeen by Sunday night.
The humiliating European exit to Progres Niederkorn is still fresh in the memory too and the club seems to be without any sort of leadership whatsoever as they lurch from one shambles to another.
After sweeping to power in 2015, King and the Three Bears haven’t fulfilled many - if any - of the claims they made as they were trying to oust the previous board.
While King has undoubtedly put money into the club, it seems nowhere near the £30-50million he previously mentioned. With celtic looking almost certain to win a seventh title on the bounce this season, King needs to get a move on if Rangers are to stop their Old Firm rivals doing 10-in-a-row.
The ongoing search for a long-term replacement for Pedro Caixinha is almost certain to be one area that the board will be pushed on to provide an update on what is going on more than a month after getting rid of the 47-year-old and while we aren’t expecting the club to release a statement saying they are interested in McInnes or McLeish or whoever else, the fact that more than a month on the club still haven’t moved forward any considerable step needs explaining.
Graeme Murty has been hung out to dry a bit by the board after being parachuted in again to work with the first team on a short-term basis.
Murty’s a good coach and has always impressed me with the way he’s handled himself since moving to Rangers last summer as Under-20s head coach and it’s hard not to feel for him as he’s left to pick up the pieces for the board.
Another question the directors need to be asked is how they plan to close the financial gap to celtic. Brendan Rodgers’ side spends something like £35million per year on player wages compared to Rangers’ £11m each year and unless the payments clubs get from the SPFL has shifted dramatically then leapfrogging Aberdeen and finishing second in the league isn’t going to be quite enough.
Even a strong run in the Europa League alone isn’t going to help Rangers get back to the top of Scottish football if celtic can keep raking the in money from the Champions League.
Getting a better return on what they ARE spending though would also be a huge help.
Rangers have blown a ridiculous amount of cash on wages over the past couple of years with the likes of Matt Gilks, Phil Senderos, Niko Kranjcar, Joey Barton and Jordan Rossiter all likely earning five-figures per week for not doing an awful lot. While it’s maybe a wee bit harsh on the players, it’s just another example of how Rangers are just unable to get much right at the minute.
Finally, who on the board has had responsibility for hiring managers since 2015? The two permanent appointments made by the board have both ended in pretty shambolic fashion one way or another. Whether it was the final few minutes of the draw with Kilmarnock or the mental night when Mark Warburton resigned before denying it and then threatening legal action that never materialised; King and the Three Bears haven’t had much success with appointing a manager. What process led them to pick Caixinha and how did a manager from a mid-table team in a middle-eastern country wind up getting the Rangers job?
Was someone on the board familiar with his time in Mexico where he had been successful? Did an agent shop him to the club? Did he contact Rangers directly?
There’s a host of other questions the Ibrox board should be answering and after sweeping to power promising transparency. Let’s see if King suddenly decides to start delivering on at least one of his promises.
I totally 100 percent agree with your comments above The Dude, I always look forward to reading your ripostes to fellow bears, sometimes when its a long winded topic I settle down with a cup of tea and Digestive Biscuits
as I am doing now.
