RANGERRAB

david murray engineered the stream of thieving bastards that have ultimately led to this lack of finance

 

that doesn't explain the weak willed lack of fight we're witnessing though

I repeat.....our budget is well above hertz and aberdeen. We should be better than what we endured tonight.

But green as good as set the budget. Indeed he caused the budget that had us shopping for that level of manager.

 

Imagine where we might be with the 50 million green squandered/removed

Our budget is still such that we should be better than hertz or aberdeen. I agree we won't win the title as yet but we are entitled to much. Better than we saw tonight. The first half was embarrassing. We barely put two passes together

Murray, Whyte, Green, Ashley, the Easdales...It's about time we stop feeling sorry for ourselves though and fix this club. We're not going to get anywhere signing dross from England for peanuts, nor does it look like we're going to get very far with this manager.

I started to get uneasy when the current board started handing out new,improved contracts to management & players before we were back in the the top division.

Murray, Green, Whyte, etc weren't responsible for that

Walter Smith worked with a winning team but agree with when its failing.

Souness was a failing management system ???

I don't see a 4-5-1 being any different to a 4-3-3 to be honest.

We shouldn't get outnumbered in MF like we did tonight if we've got 5 in MF. Having 3 in MF means we get overran like tonight

Agree fully RE the change of system but Waghorn upfront for me. In a 4-5-1 Id like to see MOH on the right with McKay on the left then Forrester and Windass in the creative central roles. Alternatively MOH on the left and Waghorn on the right with Miller or Dodoo upfront.

 

3-5-2 isn't possible at the moment as I don't think we have 3 centre halves fit enough. You'd have to put Wallace in the 3 which takes him out of being the wing back.

Please - no more Kenny Miller. He was absolute garbage tonight & should have been taken off at half time.

Why does MOH always seem to get the ball when facing his own goal or running towards his own goal ?

I say this again green has put us in a terrible place.

Green never signed 11 players last summer most of whom have made little or no impact. The manager must accept responsibility for that.

You may have a point. He has done the opposite of what almost everyone in football does - have a challenging lifestyle and career first then the luxury of football after.

 

As for Waghorn, Im baffled on this one and want to see him back in the team.

FWIW I think Waghorn found his level last season in the championship. The premiership is a step too far for him

This may be controversial, but I don't blame the manager for tonight's performance - there was nothing he could have done.

Tonight's performance lies 100% at the feet of the players - they were totally dire.

 

They are supposed to be professional footballers, yet were completely incapable of passing to their own team. There was no movement, vision enthusiasm, energy or skill (of ANY sort). They weren't even a close 2nd to every ball - they were lucky to be 3rd to each ball (and that's being generous).

 

Once the players cross the touchline, the manager's influence is limited. I'm actually convinced that we didn't even have 11 players on the pitch.

Are you serious ? He signed the players. He picks the team. He decides the tactics, gameplan etc ( which are predictable every games as our opponents can see)

He has to accept responsibility. The buck stops with him.

Well with Aberdeen and Hearts being the next 2 games that could be decisive. I think every Bear expects a huge reaction and performance on Saturday.

Losing either of these could be the end for him unfortunately.

The only thing hing that can save him now is to change the system. We need 5 in MF which means a 3-5-2 or 4-5-1.

I'd prefer 3-5-2 with Wallace & Tavernier out wide with the aim of delivering balls into the he box for Garner & Dodoo up front. That means no Kenny Miller who was truly awful tonight

Zelalem is 20 in a couple of months & is nowhere near Arsenal's first team.

Tells you all you need to know. He has no future at Arsenal.

He has to get first team football somewhere but as Dominic Ball found out it's all about making the right choice.

I don't think he's ever forgiven the board for not reinstating him as manager when they took over

I know it goes against their aims but club1872 should make McCoist an offer for his shares.

And once they've got them tell him never to darken the frontdoor at ibrox again

Looks to me this is McCoist's revenge on King for not reinstating him as manager after him & t3b took control.

McCoist holding such a large shareholding & not voting needs dealt with in some way. Can't someone buy his shares? Club1872?

Is whyte still scheduled to stand trial around april next year ?

Can't the charges again these 2 be reinstated at a later date? Maybe during or after whyte's trial ?

I don't doubt Red Bull would have the financial clout to invest in Rangers and get us to overhaul Celtic. But I don't see what would be in it for them.

Publicity with an established club.

Richard park?

The one exception maybe?

We've got to hope dodoo can 'kick on' from here & start scoring on a regular basis because it doesn't look like we've got anyone else who can do that

Delighted for Dodoo. Hopefully this is the start of his Rangers career in earnest.

You won't see a better goal anywhere this weekend than his first. Real class

This is simply not acceptable Mr Warburton.

Not surprised by that!

Sometimes the truth hurts.....

We're not doing as well as we should be

Surely if Miller doesn't score today he drops out the starting XI

What a hatchet job on Rangers before a ball is kicked!

Wouldn't disagree too much with what he said.

We're not clinical enough in front of goal & we're not scoring enough goals

When does the PUMA contract finish ? End of next season ?

Surely then we'll have a new kit manufacturer and where will these kits be sold ? Surely not in SD I'd have thought.

What happens to RRL then? The new kit manufacturer will deal with the Rangers board won't they?

These questions weren't asked today but will need answered soon along with who replaces 32RED as shirt sponsors. Red Bull ?

At what point does Regan's position become untenable ?
