Match Thread [FT] Rangers 1 (Cerny 46') - 0 Dundee
buster. replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
From extreme pessimism....... (Not that long ago you were moaning about not being competitive against Aberdeen. I told you to be patient and that we will finish in front of them. ) .....to extreme optimism 😂 (We are finishing 2nd, it has been thus since before August). Better to be in an optimistic frame of mind given that you'll see why Clement should get more time 🫣 -
[Official] Rangers announce appointment of Patrick Stewart as CEO
buster. replied to Rousseau's topic in Rangers Chat
Of course, he will already have had a "warts-and-all" view of the club and I agree he has to further evaluate the mechanics of what happens within. What I was getting at was communicating with the fanbase and managing expectations. It is an area that I have talked about for years. For a CEO to be successful at Rangers, he needs to forget platitudes and employ realism. For me, it is imperative so as we allow 'foundations' to be built, instead of being in perpetual flux and providing a second decade of the banter years. My comments were a first impression. Time will tell how things shape up. -

I have frequently been told that I was moaning too much over the past few years. Most of which has been proven to be justified. -

I think it is you that is OTT with your FFS 😂. I made it clear that it was a first impression and was subject to change depending on actions. IMO we need a hard nosed CEO who isn't scared to tell the support the truth about what will be a challenging remit in amongst hard financial realities. No better time to begin in that way than the beginning. He has had more than enough time (prior to his appointment) to become fully aware of the details. The support don't need the CEO to be going through the standard list of platitudes, they get that from players. -

Full of platitudes and the scripted sound bites. Lacking in any worthwhile substance. Expected in footballers, not in a CEO under the current circumstances. Talked a lot about the football and very little beyond that. Talked of "strong foundations", where does he get that from? He needs to oversee the implementation of them. He made no mention of financial challenges, the elephant in the room. First impression (subject to change depending on actions) is that he hasn't got what we need. -
What a load of tosh. If there is a chance, by definition, it has to be realistic. I have never stated that we are favourites but we definitely have a chance to win a cup-tie against Celtic because we have started to create and score goals. You are free to more or less write off our chances, its only an opinion. You asked who would I bet on. Looking at the odds, Rangers is where the value is.

My Definition of Realism in this particular context. League Championship over 38 games. We were never going to win it this season due to our playing squad, our financial situation and organisational state...all compared with the situation at who was always going to win it. Realism, pure and simple. Cup competition over 90 minutes. We have a chance and your absolute doomsday predictions are for surrender monkeys.

All this "who is our biggest goal threats, etc" is basically pish and wind. Clement will select his team and it won't be Dessers up front on his own. What matters on Sunday is: - Real Belief that we can win - Collective Application of game plan - Individual Determination to win duals We do that and see where it takes us. In the season prediction thread, I said second in the league because of where the respective clubs financials/squads are. However for the domestic cups, it was "mibbes aye, mibbes naw". I stay with that prediction. We have a reasonable chance of lifting a trophy on Sunday despite some surrender monkeys wanting to chuck in the towel before KO.

John Robertson is generally a fair pundit. I remember cursing him when watching Rangers 0-2 up on Hearts at Tynecastle, he scored 2 goals in the last 2 minutes. First game at Tynecastle was better, watching Derek Parlane score 4 goals in a 2-4 win. Miners strike at the time, 2pm KO. I also remember the Rangers support applauding a Hearts goal against us. We'd already scored 5. Might have been the game that Cooper scored a cracker.
