RANGERRAB

I'd have thought the main problem with a 16 club top tier would be three less home games per season resulting in reduced revenue

He is mediocre at best.

Don't forget the 'headhunting firm' too. Was it not Nolan Partners whom Reid's son worked ?

Regardless of what happens between now & the end of the season regards promotion, if Rangers get asked to play in the top division the Rangers board will accept. There really is nothing to debate here

I want Rangers back in the top division ASAP by whatever means. We're losing too much money not being there. Ask the board what they think.

And we had to apply to the SFL clubs who voted for us to go to the bottom tier

It wasn't the SPL clubs who put us in the bottom division. It was the SFL clubs

No it isn't. We need to be in the top division for financial reasons alone. We are losing a lot of money not being there. Ask King, Murray or Gilligan

I'm no fan of Doncaster but he's only doing his job. Scottish football needs a strong Rangers in its top division. These proposals would guarantee that. We need to be there next season. I bet our board would support this & they'd be correct to do so

Never entirely sure myself but I think summer football means we'd start the season february/march and finish october/november like they do in the scandanavian countries. Can see a lot of merits but I'd have thought attendances would be hit june/july when a lot of people take their summer holidays.

Clubs usually get increased attendances over Christmas/New Year so not sure they'd want to give that up for summer football where they might get lower attendances during june/july when people go on holiday. As for the League Cup its importance plummeted when it lost the UEFA place for winners a good few years ago.

Is this a wind-up ? seriously ? Mitchell calling anyone 'damaged' is hilarious. This was the guy as SPL chief exec who tried to be the tough guy with SKY TV over the TV contract & was told to take it or leave it. So he left it & we got a BBC contract worth about £4m which was about a quarter of the SKY one. Look up the meaning of the word 'credibility' Roger if you read this

That was a mistake IMO. Managers answer to the board. They shouldn't sit on the board

Yawn..........more meaningless games involving wee diddy clubs in a cup competition no one is interested in. What Dumbcaster should have said was that the only show in town will be back next season, all being well, and we should all be glad about that. One can only hope eh?

Nothing wrong with the soft loans from T3B & DK is there? they are essentially private loans between individuals & Rangers. However the soft loans the yahoos got from the basket case Co-op bank are entirely different. Banks don't loan money at those rates for starters. It isn't commercially viable. So who arranged these soft loans for the yahoos then? Surely not Lhabour party yahoo-supporters? Mr Reid or Mr Wilson would never do anything like that would they? FWIW I think the yahoos soft loans are the ace card up his sleeve King may play if need be. EBT's were available for everyone should they wish to use them. Soft loans from the Co-op bank weren't...............unless you can get someone who can pull strings to get them for you. In other words it was the yahoos who 'cheated' not us.

I would certainly hope so

Maybe Fulham will turn their attention to Ronnie Deila if they don't get MW.......

Yes I do know that. Still doesn't mean he should be in the starting XI though. Or on the bench. He has just two league goals this season in the second tier of Scottish football. A pathetic return.

I certainly hope we're not in for either of them. Not good enough. All we need to do in January is get replacements for Miller & Clark due to the lack of goals they've got (like last season).

who should we recall? they're out on loan for a reason - they're not good enough

We need to get a striker next month because MIller is past it & Clark isn't good enough. Waghorn isn't an out and out striker despite his number of goals. That only leaves Young Hardie & it would be asking a lot of an 18 year old would it not? FWIW I think this league is going to be a lot tighter than most of us think because I'd expect both us & Hibz to win 30 plus games.

He'd be mad to take the Fulham job. At least 2 others have knocked it back. Fulham are a club going nowhere since Al-Fayed sold them. I'm sure MW knows this only too well. That said however we need to realise if he's as successful as we expect him to be here that the day will come when he does get tempted back down south.But I'd expect it to be a much bigger club than Fulham.......

38k who bought ST's in 2012. Are they all 'morons' as you suggest? I'd say it was only as time went on during Green's tenure that more & more people started to get suspicious culminating in his sudden departure following his daft remark about Ahmad forcing him to resign. His first big mistake was bringing in the Easdales presumably so as to give the impression of having 'Rangers men' on the board. That was never going to work & didn't. Green also had a big advantage in that no one really knew anything about him or his business background other than a brief, unsuccessful stint at Sheffield Utd. Whyte was totally different. Many, including myself, found out about Whyte fairly easily early doors & nothing that followed surprised me. I don't believe SDM willingly sold to Whyte and those in LBG and the SFA who failed to heed the vociferous warnings by PM & AJ should be brought to account. That said I see no reason not to trust the current board who genuinely have the best interests of Rangers at heart. However their biggest challenge will be providing the funds required to get us promoted this season & challenging the yahoos next season. I believe Mr King is way OTT in seeming to suggest we need as much as £30m to challenge the yahoos who have been in consistent decline every season since we left the top division.

FWIW I thought today was arguably our 2nd best performance of the season( after the 6-2 win over Hibz) Get a top drawer striker(or two) in the transfer window and watch the difference.

Since we got chucked out the then SPL LIewell has been cutting budgets & salaries at a rate George Osborne could only dream of cutting tax credits. When yellow teeth left trying to get a manager & head coach on the reduced remunerations & reduced budgets was proving difficult. Keane didn't want it and who knows who else rejected them. So be grateful Collins. Had it not been for Rangers being out the top division you probably wouldn't have got your job. Wee Ronnie Rotten too. Only thing is I think these two will be gone for next season. More the pity.
