devref 201 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Obviosly we never accept second place however, if the manger, chairman and his pups were honets with us and said ( look we are not signing anyone becuase we have great talent that need to come thorugh and the time is now to give it its chance, IE, Wilson in for weir, Fleck in for fergie, Furman, Little, Wylde will be the only new signings!) then these players develop over the year, we lose the league but end up in 2 - 3 years time with one hell of a team! wld we accept that? Am half canned by the way? no by all means bring in the yougsters but not at the cost of costing us the league or progress in cups one or two at a time never whole sale changes like this reads Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigeee 60 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Playing youngsters in cup competitions could benefit us in the League - more experience for youngsters and possibly a few would step up to the plate and prove they could cut it in the first team.

scottylad72 19 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Not in this league, but if others were stronger and not just us and them I believe we could. Unfortunately it wont be the case. Sir Alex had plenty of time to build his team as they all knew that Liverpool and Arsenal where strong teams at the time along with spurs etc. So if that was the case here in Scotland then maybe it would work.

longjohn 0 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Winning is a habit, a good habit. If Rangers could produce the spirit shown at Tannadice, more often, they would be unstoppable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvager 498 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Youngsters blooded sensibly in their right positions when appropriate is the answer. It can be done, but I am not sure if walter is the man to do it. keeping an open mind to see what happens over the Summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spence 0 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Why should we accept second best. We are the the Famous Glasgow Rangers , the most sucessful club in the world. Second place isnt for us, its for the manky mob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav3ric 13 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 The main point is, we cannot afford to lose the league from a financial perspective, we would be handing Timmy millions in extra revenue while we got hee haw. Man U could do it cause there is much more money kicking around in England and during a time when English teams were banned from Europe, now Europe is a must. Its imperative we win the league every season! Still maintain the best way is to use the young ones in the CIS cup mainly and the best of the bunch move into the league team.

Am half canned by the way? As half canned you are & preposerous the idea sounds......... I think if Watty gave the young'uns a shout (from the start) this season and we failed, most bears would stand by his decision to give them a shout. 9:38pm & I finished up today for 3 weeks holiday; I;m half canned too.

BoltonLoyal 2 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Rangers should never even contemplate accepting second place, that position should always be Timmy's. There are 2 cup competitions in which to blood our youngsters and perhaps the best performers in those games could be given a chance in SPL. Other than this, the league should be our priority as well as keeping the filth in their proper place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 No - any Rangers manager trying that would be CRUCIFIED - we target 1st all the time - thats why any manager at Rangers will have a hard time developing youth - they will only get a game if they are good enough! I have said this before Walter (and any Rangers manager) is basically only judged on ONE thing, LEAGUE position. Yes we may want more flair, yes we may want youth BUT what we really (really) want is 1st place - EVERY year! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
