We’ve got enough of our current shit to worry about rather than ponder old shit.
Until the day he becomes a zillionaire and decides to invest in us, he’s dead to me.

I was thinking about this last night.
I think Rangers might just be the luckiest club in the world. What I mean by that is this:
- lifelong traditions cast aside to pacify others - and we keep coming back
- financial crisis puts us in the control of one shyster after another - and still we’re there
- successive inept managers bring in equally inept players not fit to wear the jersey graced by Cooper, Baxter, Jardine and Greig - still we roll up
- promises of transparency and financial support are broken time after time - yet we’re there every week regardless
The Rangers support has been through more shit in recent years than Andy DuFresne escaping Shawshank ten times over and yet the club knows we will support our team through it all. Is there another organisation in the world who treat their loyal customers with such disregard and complacency?
We huff and puff about protests and demonstrations but the fact is, if you’re a bluenose, you are Rangers till you die. We love our club but, by fuck, do they make it hard sometimes.
It would be good if the people running our club really appreciated that loyalty instead of taking it for granted and exploiting it.

I don't disagree with what boyd is saying. What I completely disagree with is a pro for another club current playing against us commenting on our players. That is not right. Ex player or not.
I think he’s a supporter who just happens to be employed as a player (as opposed to an office worker or a pipe fitter) elsewhere and it’s from that perspective he’s talking. His main target is the poor leadership and the morale, neither of which are the fault of the playing staff

The anger should be directed at the board not the youth coach for taking his big chance in management.
Don’t worry mate, there’s enough to go around.

Even Alex Feguson had his managerial failures, and I honestly think you learn more from failures than successes. Hopefully FDB is even more motivated after what happened at Palace
If you learn from failures, then Murty must be fucking Einstein by now?

So do I, does that mean I warrant a start?
How are you at centre half?

McCrorie is a kid played in his weaker position, leave him out of it. And the foul was outside the box too
-
We’d be as well with Miller as player-manager for the last few games because it is abundantly clear Murty has no idea and, more importantly, no authority.
There is no upside to keeping him in post until the end of the season.
Go now, please.

If only our players understood mate
Not enough bears in the team. People like Halliday, for all his limitations as a player, gets it. Not suggesting we play him but we need them to all want to die for the jersey. Look at that marathon runner that literally ran himself into the ground overnight. That’s the kind of total commitment we need today. Show that and the scum will crumble

Started feeling upset for the guy then got angrier as one cunt after another leans over the barrier for a better picture. Steve Cram usually talks shite but he was right calling it a disgrace. Nearly two minutes ahead and a stick-on for gold. Fucking shame?

For a player with poor vision, passing ability, heading ability, limited pace and an engine which is nowhere near what it was... 'Broonie' gets amazing adulation on here and elsewhere. Get in his face and he'll offer nothing to this game.
He’s always their out ball. He makes himself available and rarely gives or receives a pass further than 10 yards. Just keeps recycling and keeping them moving. If you put someone like Dorrans (probably our most advanced midfielder) on Brown with the instruction “stay within three yards of him unless we have the ball”, they would resort to playing long balls. Hate the idea adapting our play to flatter an arsehole like Brown but he really does make them tick and I really want to beat them

Seems daft to me that they are worried about the old firm game being the game that they win the league so they send them to hibs and then make it the 2nd game. Wouldn't surprise me that hibs win that first game and then it will be panic stations for the spfl.
Aye, Lenny will want to deny celtic a party then a gloatfest against us

Remember 1 year ,2006 I think . The jambos were in a position to finish second and steal the remaining Champions league Place. It was 2 in those days
The season was nearing it's end . They were playing the scum .
Hearts won 3-0 in the easiest win you will ever see
It was the biggest lie down I had seen since St Mirren in 86
I wished I had put money on it . Even if it killed me .
The same thing is going to unfold in a few weeks time
There is a picture of one of the celtic players (useless big CB who went to Motherwell) grinning as the celtic keeper retrieved the ball from the net for, I think, Hearts second that day. Most blatant example of throwing a game in fifty years watching football.

“We need to keep on improving...”
4 points out of 12 in last four games is not “improving” at least not for any Rangers manager worth his salt.
He needs taken into a quiet room and handed a pistol so that he can do the honourable thing like the gentleman he clearly is.
A letter beginning with the words “I hereby tender my resignation” would be an acceptable and perhaps less extreme alternative.
Either way, he’s a dead man walking.

Totally agree with the article - which is easy enough to do i suppose.
So, over to the board. For me this is chicken and egg. Whatever finance they offer the new manager (by that i mean to build the squad) will dictate what standard of manager they get. If they go after someone of a certain stature he will demand the tools to do the job - overcome the rhats. If it's modest budgets it will be an out of contract manager somewhere desparate for a job (or currently working at a much lower level) - best of that bunch Preudhomme. If they are putting together significant funding then FdB
It will be perfectly clear what funding is available when that appointment is made.
Very true. The best indicator of the financial backing available will be in the name of the man chosen. FDB will want time AND money to mould a squad so, if he is appointed, we can assume that they’ve found some money behind the sofa.
I just don’t have confidence in them, that’s the problem. If you sent your kid to the shop three times for a loaf and he came back with a pint of milk, six eggs and a packet of Brillo pads, would you send him again, would you have the confidence to get the butter out the fridge this time?

From wiki;
In January 2014 the club announced that they had signed a half-billion kronor deal with the government of Libya to develop and educate Libyan football players. Under the terms of the deal, Östersunds FK would train 250 young men from Libya every year, except the first year in which they will receive 60 students. Those players would be taught English and computer skills in addition to sports theory and football training. The deal was expected to raise Östersund FKs yearly profits by over 50%.[7] The deal with the Libyan state never came to life, thus meaning no students came to Östersund and no money was received by the club.[8]
.....which means that he and his Rangers-supporting assistant went from non-league to Europa League the hard way.

Potter is a ridiculously bad shout for where we are as a club right now.
Aye maybe you’re right. Would soon get bored with exceeding expectations every season on a shoestring budget...

No, he isn't. Lennon is, if you mean Premiership.
He couldn't save Alloa, then had them second. Done well with St Mirren but realistically they should be at the top.
He's done well, I know. Don't know if they're a team that only done it with high levels of money or whatever. Jimmy Nicholl is the same, never changed anything let's be fair.
I’d put Clarke’s achievement ahead of Lennon although it’s hard to be neutral where that bastard is concerned! Lennon has gradually built that team, whereas Clarke was parachuted in when Killie were in freefall.
As far as the championship is concerned, I would suggest that Dundee United would be favourites ahead of St Mirren. But it’s a tough league and his team have walked it and he’s raised a few bob for them too through the sale of Lewis Morgan.
If we had loads to spend, my choices might be different but, given where we are, these three are our best bets
