These kids don't deserve Rangers.

No. Please accept sincere apologies. If my posts are getting under your skin then just chill out with a beer or something.

I can't tell you how grateful I am that you actually posted something that I am interested in. How did you decrypt my posts?

Buster is the source of his own argument. I can't exactly consult google about what he is basing his argument on. Why does he keep it such a secret instead of just telling us? I didn't need to read any more of his boilerplate waffle about Lawwell et cetera.

No doubt. But is there a significant gap?

Anybody else think that it is insufferable to complain about an elephant in the room and then avoid discussing the details?

Post numbers. Post numbers. Post numbers. Post numbers.

You say 'way behind' but how far behind are we really? Can you post the numbers that you are referring to?

Nothing that you have said supports the claim that there is an insurmountable gap between the two teams. Why don't you try that? Alternatively just admit that it is a load of rubbish.

Irrelevant. We are talking about the board from 2015 onwards. Think again.

No. It is not. Since Gerrard arrived we have only failed to qualify for one group stage. So what?

I went for Tillman. This is not based on anything he did in the match though.

The exact same approach that the board takes every year. Why do some find this difficult to understand?

All of this talk about an insurmountable gulf between us and them is a load of rubbish. They are better just now and there has been no debate for a little bit over a year. But we lost a cup match by a single goal at the weekend. In addition to that there are a couple of blatant errors from the management that may not happen in future. Mistakes in team selection are really easy to correct in future. Especially when you compare them to the problems that we have in terms of personnel. I mean you can't teach a fellow like Morelos to be the type of player that we need. He just doesn't get it and all we can do is wait for him to move on. I would bet against restoring Kamara. He appears to have lost interest altogether and we need to find a buyer as soon as possible.

Don't know what you mean.

In terms of funding the board has outlined how it intends to generate revenue. Among other things it includes European football and player trading. Last time I checked Rangers had comparable revenue to Celtic. I expect our revenue to be lower but not so much that we can't compete with them on the pitch. In terms of managing without investment I think I've already said that it's a case of getting more out of existing resources. Given that there are no shortage of mistakes that we can point to it shouldn't be difficult to imagine how that would happen.

Ok, well that is not a case of papering over the cracks. The team went undefeated in the league. Papering over the cracks would be scraping through to win the cups while struggling consistently in the league. I think that you mean 'tendency'.

Notice that I never said anything that conflicts with any of these points. The point that I actually did make was that it's not investment that we need.

Titter. Neither you did.

As I have said repeatedly the cups are an irrelevance. Winning the league is what matters. Winning a couple of years ago was a success but we have not built on that. It has been followed by domestic failure. Why don't you tell me what 'cracks' you were talking about earlier on? That was the interesting part.

Nope. See my response to @PoohBear above.
