RANGERRAB

Jack is exactly the type of player I love and we need in our team. Can keep possession and loves a tackle. Reminds of Stuart McCall.

But McCall didn't get the red cards Jack gets did he?

if an opposition player did that to a Rangers player as Jack did today I'd expect him to get a red card

How can the Rangers board possibly appoint McInnes after these two games against Aberdeen ? He's just been outplayed, outfought & out thought by the Rangers U20 development coach

And just what is it that stands out about McInnes?

Sure he's led the sheep to 2nd place in the league consistently but that's mostly without Rangers in the league. And just one LC win in nearly five years at Pittodrie is hardly outstanding either is it?

I believe we'd be best to stick with Murty for the time being just a little longer til the right candidate emerges.

No chance will it be adidas. Or Nike.

And if we win on Sunday aren't we not going to look stupid going for a manager who has just been beaten twice in five days by our U20 development coach ?

I really don't want to pay Aberdeen over-the-odds compensation for a manager who has just one league cup on his CV

I genuinely hope we're not overlooking better candidates than McInnes who want the job

It's McInnes.

Says who ?

You hear what people say. You read what people type/write.

 

I think some of us are forgetting that he's managing Aberdeen. There's only so much he can achieve there.

And I'd suggest most managers would move on from Aberdeen after three years max realising they have done all they can. Except McInnes.

The club would obviously need to speak to McInnes first before appointing him in the way Sunderland did. But Im struggling to believe there isnt a more attractive or better option out there.

Aitor Karanka ?

Who is good to watch in Scotland? , the board will be looking at it this way he won't be spending 3.5 million on a Pena who struggles in Scotland and will keeps us close to you know who.

We didn't spend £3.5m on Pena

Since when is it legal to leave the field of play and wander back on without the referee's permission, especially as your next move is a dive - compliance officer?

When Father Willie Collum is refereeing & the great unwashed are playing

What happens if we beat the sheep on Sunday ? Would we seriously offer the job to Derek McInnes ?

When we score goals, we aren't shy and often get a few.

 

In the league, we've scored 3 or more........ in 7 out of 15 matches (for celtic, it's 5 out of 14).

Last season it was 1 out of the first 15 league games.

 

Our problem has been 3 zeros and twice scoring 1 goal......In all five matches dropping points.

 

Problem is inconsistency

 

Other thing is a lack of clean sheets (4).....celtic (8)

Our goals against is 17 compared to their 7.That needs improvement too

Interestingly last night's result puts us as joint top scorers in the league with 31 goals, same as the yahoos.

What I find interesting about ours though is only 9 of our goals came from strikers, Morelos6, Miller2 and Herrera1.

Whoever the next Rangers manager is needs to improve this IMO

Breaking even would mean reducing our staff costs from £17.6m to £11.0m. It could be done but the quality of the playing squad would theoretically deteriorate significantly.

 

As for restructuring the way we play players, we would really struggle to attract anyone. Players don't want to take the risk and would go elsewhere if we were the only club doing it. Sounds good in theory but just wouldn't work.

Do you really think we're getting best value for money with those £17.6m staff costs? I don't.

I've never been convinced Miller can play the lone striker role. He doesn't have the physical presence for starters.

Murty did this last time. Inherited the mess from MW and took three of four games to fix it.( then Pedro arrived)

Now he's inherited a mess from Pedro. Tonight he showed he can make effective changes and get results. The team looked totally different & played much better.Playing three CB's & three central MF players made us harder to play against.

If I were a Rangers director or chairman I'd maybe be a wee bit worried about appointing a manager who's just been out-thought by ur U20 development coach.

Leicester did it. It CAN be done. With the right appointment. I have my doubts that McInnes could do it. And that's the crux of the issue.

Right appointment and more importantly right signings. That means not wasting £3m on unfit Mexicans

Regardless of who becomes manager we should expect to challenge for the title next season.

Our support expect no less. Nor should they.

I'd agree but it would only buy McInnes 2 seasons. After that we'd be back to where we are right now. Our support wouldn't take 2nd best.

I think this is the problem with getting McInnes. We wouldn't win the league

We are not in a position to take risks with this appointment but I do wonder if McInnes ticks enough boxes

Windass is another waste of a jersey.

is this the Windass with 3 goals in the last 4 games ? at least someone seems to know the way to goal

Sinclair must surely now be banned for affecting the outcome of a game by diving.

But you need to take into account who the Compliance Officer is & his background

Whoever the next Rangers manager is will need to deal with the fact Kenny Miller shouldn't be an automatic selection in the starting XI anymore. Murty's already fallen into this trap.

Update on AGM Questions

 

Dear Member,

 

We recently asked members to submit questions for the upcoming RIFC AGM. The Club 1872 board has now had the opportunity to look at the questions that were submitted and we thank the hundreds of members who took the time to contact us.

 

A number of concerns have been raised by members, in particular the length of time it is taking the club to appoint a new manager.* As supporters first and foremost, Club 1872 directors share those concerns. Club 1872 has made a commitment to supporters to remain independent from Rangers Football Club and to hold the board to account where necessary.

 

The upcoming AGM allows us an opportunity to do this, and we will be taking that opportunity to raise members’ concerns in as robust a manner as our members would expect from the second largest shareholder and representatives of over 7000 supporters.

 

We have also written to the club to ask that any questions we aren’t able to raise at the AGM will be addressed by the club at the earliest opportunity. We will share any and all feedback we receive on those questions from the club with our members.

 

Club 1872

I think C1872 should also be asking who will take the decision on appointing the new manager.
