RANGERRAB

If that is the case why was Aluko found "guilty" of simulation by the then Compliance Officer ?

Read my post #16

Does a boardroom always have to consult it's members? Did the members not vote them in to make decisions? I am not for Doncaster in any way but I will be shocked if he gets sacked for this. Sometimes it is also better a fool you know.

directors wouldn't last long in any boardroom if they disregarded the views of their members, shareholders etc.

Why do you think there is a statement from the SRFL board saying they wanted it and blaming the SFA? It is to savee Doncasters face.

did they consult the 42 clubs ? NO

Therefore Dumbcaster has to go

Rodgers will get found out in time when he eventually ends up at a Southampton or Stoke.

he won't get another EPL job after you spend £300m & win nothing

Would have preferred Hibz but will take Well.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the role of the Compliance Officer is to look after the interests of one club, the yahoos.

If that was Candaeis instead of Sinclair he'd be getting offered a ban.

The SPFL is just the company that runs the professional football leagues in Scotland.

The SFA is the highest governing football authority in Scotland. Since when did the SPFL have the authority to call for this review which we all know was just another attempt by the usual suspects to try & put the boot into Rangers?

The SPFL should try to do the job it is supposed to do. For starters try getting a better TV deal than the derisory one Doncaster & Liewell got back in 2012

The formation is only partially important though. It doesn't really matter how many they have in their midfield, it's about what those midfielders do when they are in possession. If one of them sits deeper (which is usually the case), then the central attacking mid can drop down and give us that cover. If one of them goes wider, one of our wider attacking mids can cover. For me the big difference I want to see is how quickly (and well) our midfielders (in particular) transition from having the ball to not having it, and vice versa. Pena made this change brilliantly and he will be a loss to us if not started. However, he will have to work harder to find that space to run at their goal so it'll be a real test if he does play. I'd expect us to be spending more time closing down space than creating it though, so perhaps that's why KM is preferred. There's no doubt he's better at that role, but he then leaves a lot to be desired when attacking. Decisions, decisions.

Surely not someone else advocating playing Miller in MF on Saturday?

But who would you play with Jack and Dorrans. Only Miller and Pena are available - both attacking midfielders??

LOL are you serious ? Miller a midfielder ?? He'a very mediocre striker at best.

He constantly gives the ball away when he tries to play in MF

Yeah ... and what exactly would hinder Morelos from attacking when being slightly to the left side of our attack and moving freely about ... AS WELL AS having more physical and attacking presence as Windass? It's not like he'd be carrying 25 kilos more on him and is ordered to stay out of the penalty area ...

 

Nope, a nice packed midfield with quite an attacking threat and some good cover.

 

Foderingham

 

Tavernier - Cardoso - Alves - John

 

Jack - Dorrans

 

Candeias - Miller - Morelos

 

Herrera

They will play 3 in MF. Jacks & Dorrans would get overrun in that formation.

And why play Dorrans defensive MF ?

John is out of contract next summer and if he makes an impression, we might get him on a free.

 

As for Morelos ... I'd chuck him to the left of an attacking three, with Miller in the middle, Candeias on the right and Herrera up front on his own.

do that & we'll get hammered. We'll be short in numbers in MF.

Hes cheated us out of titles before.

2008. Who can forget that game away to them ? Vinegar of castlemilk should have been jailed for that tackle

Wilson not a sub?

We will need a gameplan & tactics for this game. Simply throwing caution to the wind & going all out to win will not work

No they won't if Pedro get's his tactics right

Where did £8 million go, figures don’t add up.

You tell me.

Not sure what that has to do with it.

Both JJ & Anti Niemi recommended him AFAIKI

That wasn't Pedro's signing it was JJ that pushed him.

And who appointed JJ?

Exactly this. If he wins its mind games and fair enough. But if he loses, its pointing the finger at his board. And it might not be the last time this happens. If Anderlecht beat them, Big Brenda will absolutely make sure the media are running with this. Where does all these billions they keep earning go??

Where did their billions go ? Read 26th foot's excellent earlier post

It is not a knee jerk reaction it is 6 months of record poor results, our biggest humiliation ever in Europe and those defeats against Celtic.

Look at what he inherited ? At long last we look to have someone up front who will score plenty goals in the SPFL.

We need to see the major issue here. The Rangers board made a howler by allowing MW to sign all that dross one year ago although he did inherit the fallout from the failed Project McCoist.

They've now brought in Caixinha who at least seems to be recruiting better calibre players.Most seem to be internationalists.

But as I've said earlier it won't be solved in one transfer window. Hence why I think Pedro is longterm.

Don't get me wrong I think Pedro has his faults. Persisting with Miller for starters. and we're still very short in numbers for some positions I think.

If we get a going over king and graeme park need to go along with Pedro.

That's not going to happen. Caixinha is long term.

he's not going to survive another 1-5 reverse at home

We won't get beat 1-5at home. I'm confident about saturday. are you?

When KingCo took over it seemed fairly obvious to me that we were going down the route of a non-Scottish manager & non-Scottish players(mostly)

Warburton never worked out but my opinion is that the current Rangers board see PC as a longterm appointment who can access players from around the world. Whether that is successful remains to be seen.

he's not going to last the season

 

indeed if its another hammering he could be gone by the end of next week

No he won't.
