RANGERRAB

It's actually 2 wins a draw and a defeat to Celtc before vukich arrives and 2 draws a win and 2 defeats after.

 

That's the real stor.

And is it all Vuckic's fault is it?

Not the likes of Miller & boyd who have just seven league goals between them this season yet continue to get selected ahead of the likes of CLark,Daly and SHiels all of whom managed to find the net regularly last season?

Or Jig who continues to play hopeless at CB ?

I suspect Liewell is now worried.

Worried about another season without Rangers. I suspect without the CL money Celt@c aren't viable.

Don't forget they've still got a wage bill of somewhere between £25 to £30million which simply isn't sustainable in the SPFL top division without Rangers.And don't forget too that two of their loans signings from Man City last summer, Denayer & Spaghetti, have more or less told them they won't be back next season.And Van DIjk will be off too but certainly not to the likes of Arsenal.

Ah but they've got 40k plus ST holders I hear you say. Well do you believe that? Where do they go at every home game then Peter? Do they all hide under the green seats?

And why does Liewell want to ditch the TV deal he and his buddy Dumbcaster signed in the summer of 2012 as he tried to show everyone Scottish football didn't need Rangers? Not working out too well is it Peter? I'm still laughing at having to PAY broadcasters to show our games. LOL. You & Dumbcaster didn't us that bit about the deal you signed did you?

Seriously though I fully realise KIng,Murray & GIlligan have a lot on their plate at the moment but they really must prioritise sorting out the clowns who run the game in this country

but they don't miss us or need us

When Liewell says it costs them £10m you can be sure it's more than that......

Don't believe a word the man says

He isn't out of work at all, he's one of Strachan's national team assistants.

Which is more or less just a part time role is it not? McCall would jump at the chance to become Rangers manager even on an interim basis.As I said earlier the status quo simply is not an option any longer

This is not rocket science. The situation we find ourselves in is having someone as caretaker manager who doesn't want the job & needs to be replaced at the earliest opportunity as I'd suggest as he looks hopelessly out of his depth in the role

Reading the comments from King & Murray they may not have decided who they want as next manager which is perfectly OK.Perhaps their preferred candidate might not be available yet who knows.

But in the meantime why not get Stuart McCall to take charge of the team between now & the end of the season at least?He has got plenty of coaching & managerial experience which is ideal given our current predicament.I wouldn't think it would take an exorbitant contract to persuade him to take over as he's out of work at present. And if he does well we can extend his contract as we go on.

If we aren't promoted then it would hardly be all attributable to McCall as the damage was more or less done prior to his arrival.

For me it would be a win-win situation for both Rangers & McCall. The status quo is simply not an option.

You know you have to hand it to Liewell don't you?

His club has a very serious problem with a sizeable amount of its support(never a small minority in a million years Peter) and what does he do? He makes outrageous statements like Celt@c not having any association with irish Republicanism which is a bit like saying Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck having no association with Walt Disney.

And it's not just Irish Republicanism is it? It's militant Irish Republicanism whereby a significant section of their support blatantly show their support for outlawed Irish terrorist groups in and around and during games breaking who knows how many laws?

And they mostly get away with it due to spineless Scottish politicians refusing to challenge them and the police who often seem unwilling to confront this issue with both the club & it's support.

But to divert attention away from this Peter uses his mhedia puppets to point fingers at other clubs, mostly Rangers and Hertz, for any misdemeanours which are usually minuscule into comparison to what goes on at his club.

How long can this continue you might ask? Well for as long as UEFA fine them for their supporters behaviour(which now seems to be about every European game now) then surely they'll get a UEFA ban at which time our spineless polticians(more likely those at Westminster) will be forced into action.FWIW I believe they should be forced to play all domestic home games at an empty stadium for a period of not less than six months until they can prove beyond all doubt they have done all they can to eradicate militant Irish Republicanism from their ground. That will mean their Gr@@n Brigade all getting life bans which must be seen to be enforced.

It is no longer possible for them to deny the links between their club and militant Irish Republicanism.It is there for all to see and needs dealt with. Rangers past problems with sectarianism(whilst not completely eradicated I'd admit but significantly improved) have been better dealt with than those across the city. It is they who have by far the bigger problem now.

They must not be allowed to get away with their LIE-DEFLECT-DENY tactic any longer.

Whoever it is, I'm betting they'll be appointed within a week now.

I hope you're correct.

I'd really love Souness coming in and putting the wind up them .

Souness is on record as saying he doesnt want another job in football management.

thats down to the manager not the yoth set up.

Which is another reason why we need to get a new manager in ASAP

It's a new regime though.

 

It will take time but I would imagine they also want to deal with the issue of hemorrhaging !

And a failed manager working his notice on £14k p.w.

Through necessity. You do realize that a youth set up doesn't start at the reserves, right ?

It may have been thro necessity but certainly works a damn sight better than ours.

Of course I realise a youth set up doesn't start at the reserves. It starts with the army of coaches we've got at MP

No, they don't. They really don't.

 

What are you basing that on ?

Er......the number of players in their first team who have come thro' their youth system.

Ok!,I'll bite,so what will happen to Rangers FC if we don't gain promotion?,will the earth open up and swallow us?

 

The bit in bold=

What will happen if we don't get promotion? Financially it will mean the recovery will take much longer than most of us would like.And that's just for starters

hearts are so so can we. easily.

For whatever reason Hertz have a far better youth set up than us which allows them to introduce young players into their first team.

Ah!,so you are puting words in my mouth?,again!. Did you listen to the Dave King interview on his view of promotion?,or did you conveniently ignore that bit?.

Not getting promotion is unthinkable & unacceptable. DK might not say it publicly but privately he'll be as desperate as anyone to return to the top division.There's too much money at stake not being there such as two OF home games for starters.Thats less money he might need to source from elsewhere

FWIW I wouldn't read too much into any of the comments attributed to DK,PM & JG today.

Who said it's acceptable?

You seem to think so judging by your comment.

Still talking out of your arse as usual I see!.

You think failure to get promotion is acceptable?

Think it's you who talks out your backside pal.

lol are you saying he;s lying?

What he says publicly and what he says privately may be two different things

30 million for a kit sponsor from New Balance ? My arse. No way are they getting 6 million a year from New Balance. They just think of a number and stick it in an article.

 

What will happen to the Nike swoosh they have on the seats at Parkhead ?

 

If they can get 30 million for a 5 yr kit deal it wont be that long (get rid of the SD shite) before we are signing 50 million kit deals

They've got 40k plus ST holders too. They just don't turn up for home games

Securing the survival of the club is a priority not promotion

It will not survive long outside the top division the way things are going.We need promotion by whatever means

no i don't believe you. King said as much in the press conference.

Don't believe all you hear. He'll be desperate for promotion and the increased revenue that will bring. Two home OF games for starters

maybe so, but we need to appoint the correct coach/manager. that will take time.

 

if we get promotion fine, but not my priority. the finacial mess must be sorted out.

I despair when I hear Rangers supporters saying promotion not priority. I really do

no we don't.

 

let's sort the mess out first.

It will be an even bigger mess if we're not promoted believe me. A financial mess that is.

do you really think anyone would come in now and risk not achieving promotion?

 

Think when they talk to kenny he will advise them to bring back ally for player moral etc.

 

Depends on how things look financially and whether ally will step aside with no payoff.

Anyone coming in has the ready-made excuse that the damage was done before they took over.

We need a new manager right now. Not getting promotion is unthinkable

Get it right is the most important part, if it means Kenny McDowall until end of season so be it.

 

ps don't tell Rab.

It would be an extremely bad idea indeed if Kenny MCDowell was to remain as caretaker manager until the end of the season. He is hopelessly out of his depth & doesn't want to be there.

I'm sure PM is aware of the the financial implications if we don't get promoted. I wouldn't be against bringing in someone like Stuart MCCall on a short term basis until the end of this season or next season just until we're back in the top division again.
