Igamane is the only player that will make us decent cash, IMO. Overall, none of them have really been good enough, and nothing right now says they will turn their Rangers careers into something meaningful. The scouting department at Rangers is pretty much nonexistent and the deals we have made, we paid beyond the outlay you'd want to for the level of talent we received. Nils Koppen has done nothing to convince me he is worth holding on to, and I'd imagine the new owners will have someone in mind who will fit with the manager they have in mind and the way they want us to operate.

I disagree. We've signed a lot of young, generally inexpensive, players with high potential. He also oversaw the clear out of over 14 players this season alone. Players like Jefté, Igamane, Nsiala, Diomande, Barron and Cameron are the sort of high potential signings we should be making. I'm also a big fan of Kasanwijro, who unfortunately got injured on international duty with the Netherlands. There's no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Igamane, Jefte, Nsiala (Obviously still early) ?? These are exactly the sort of signings we need to be looking at. Diomande will go for profit, of that I have no doubt I still think IF Cortes sorts the injuries out, he will also go for profit as hes still only 21 Scouting isn't a part of the club that can be implemented and have immediate unequivocal success within 12 months, its a process, one that I still think Koppen will come good on, especially with better structure around him that the new owners should bring, starting with a Sporting Director. All about opinions...

Financial stability first and foremost. A complete overhaul of the commercial side which I personally think is amateurish Getting the correct management in place A complete overhaul of the scouting system we seem to miss out on getting the best of the young promising lads and coaching of the youngsters we need them to get the best we can get in place And as Frankie hints at if they’re were to be some kind of share issue I and I’m sure others wouldn’t mind putting our hands in our pockets

It's an interesting question. As much as the commercial side of the club has improved in recent years, it wouldn't surprise me to see them change some of the contracts there (e.g. catering, sponsors, kit supplier etc). A key decision will be the appointment of a new management team and other key staff (sporting director, recruitment, youth system etc). I'm also unsure Patrick Stewart will remain as CEO so we may see a change there. Finally, I also wonder if they'll look to raise money from the supporters in terms of a share issue and/or bonds of some sort. That's a lot to happen in one year but I think it's pretty obvious we need clear improvement across the club.

I wonder, what do you all expect the 49er folks to do in their first season at the helm of Rangers ?

No he hasn't. On both accounts. Name one signing he's made that is actually value for money? Bearing in mind we paid over the odds for the majority of his signings especially in Diomande, Cortes & Bajrami. We absolutely need to see first team quality signings, which he hasn't acquired, and of the crocked signings he had made we'll still be paying for in the summer! Punting him now would be ideal, complete refresh of the footballing department, with the short time Koppen has had, he has been crap. Move on and install their own preferences.

When was the last time we went there and won? Is it Barry's fault that Dessers now needs 12 shots to score, or Cerny over-runs 4 of his 5 attacks? If anything, you could blame Barry for not using Danilo more often. Of course, PC didn't do either.

I think he's made a number of good signings, with the exact profile of player we need going forward. He's also been ruthless in offloading all the previous duds, reducing the squad and wage bill which was necessary. I've argued for a while that we now need to see the acquisition of quality first-team signings, which his clear out should now allow. Punting him would be short-sighted, IMO.

How? 😂 Signed crocked players, got us tied up in deals such as 4.5m for Cortes, none of his identified signings have in anyway improved Rangers. Hemorrhaged our money on garbage or crocked goods. Absolutely he should be moved on.
