Yep. Not sure if the manager is making a point or it just is what it is but it’s a major issue.

I’ll need some right guard. It’ll be a long night watching that

If that lineup doesn’t scream ‘Our transfer business in the summer was poor’ then I don’t know what does.

I’d go as far to say if it wasn’t for the tribal/religious/cultural ties for fans in Scotland to Rangers and them then many fans would have an EPL team to back and the SPFL would basically be another Irish league by now.

Agree, perhaps history is repeating and the board gave him the same line Gerrard got before he got unhappy and left. If i were a player I'd also be disappointed that having made the Cl and seen some big money departures there were no further reinforcements.

We don't want any Americans anywhere near our club in any way. Arsenal, Man U are two examples of clubs who have regressed since American owners took over. Liverpool have got more competitive but i think that's more due to Klopp being an exceptional manager rather than the running of the club. Early signs at Chelsea I don't know what to make of. A proven football operations team all gone while an American investment manager takes direct control. Football manager gone after a short period of time. Americans see sport completely different from us. There is a thing called 'tanking' in US sports. Its when franchises cut all thier good players so they purposefully under perform in order to get the top picks at draft time. There is perhaps not a direct equivalent in football but its possible to get rid of high earners and try out some kids and loans for a few years and accept below par results to decrease operating costs (Leicester City right now). Anyone who can contemplate such an approach should be nowhere near Ibrox. It is 100% business first results second.

That's what I mean, perhaps at that point he didn't know himself what the financial situation would be.

McLaughlin hasn't trained today reports Sky Sports so looking like Shagger in goals.

Let me clarify. I'm my opinion we have 'stalled' because there has been no further investment since PSV. We are now much longer odds to compete in the league. The manager made some ill though out comments post Ajax that we cant compete at that level or similar. That should never be the mindset even if it is true. There are questions around financial and player trading that no one at the club seems to want to answer or talk about. But happy to charge the maximum for ticket prices during a cost of living crises. This is also my thinking.

History has taught us, by the time we find out its usually too late. No one is coming out of this well. This seems to be a bit of a public spat between majority shareholders being played out to the detriment of the club. One wonders why the clubs journey seems to have stalled all of a sudden post PSV. I wouldn't say the board have taken thier foot off the gas, I'd say they have stopped paying for gas and the car isn't going to get very far any time soon. Dave King seems desperate to sell his shares. Normally I'd ask why? Shares are an investment. He or his estate could hold onto these shares for some time and make a great profit selling them much later in the future. Does King know something that makes him so desperate to sell? Paul Murray seems to be a bit of a never has been. A fairly successful city guy, never really had the financial means to get a seat at the top table but always wants to be there or there abouts. Is it telling he has sided with King and is facilitating his selling of shares? How will that help his aims in getting involved with the club? Perhaps he will try to represent the buyer on the board. It seems this current wealthy fan ownership, call them white knights, call them the 3(or 7, or 8 or 9 etc) bears have hit a common problem. Running a business by committee isn't always successful when everyone has different ideas. But then look where it got us being ran by an egotistical individual. Who knows where we go from here.

Maybe he didnt know the truth?

Yes, i fear we have a board of directors but lack a true leader in the sense of being the public figure of a football club. Successful business men and leaders in their own right, absolutely. But being the leader of our club takes something else entirely.

I usually take my eldest to swimming on a Wednesday night. Given our recent form and situation that is how my time will be better spent.

Rangers 1 Napoli 3 FGS Colak

2-1 Rangers FGS Lundstram

Players must have the weekend off. Just seen matondo getting on the Gatwick flight I got off at Glasgow airport. Good to know they are using the time well. They don’t need to work of anything just now.

Something stinks at Ibrox. Getting sick of all this. Oh and Dave please read the room and pick a decent time to come out with this.

The goal was to be here and pocket the money. It is what it is

Tav always shirks the post match if we have a bad game. Was he injured last night I missed the game

Tonight was a second call for tea out. Third will complete the process

Something wrong at our club.

I smell Lawwell

9 million reasons and then some why we sold him. That and Tav plays most weeks.

The league? (joke)

Not sure and not watching it again to find out 😂
