Sentimental rotation! If I could be bothered, I would be angry. -

It's a big ask but not impossible given a favourable draw in Europe and the level of the Scottish Diddy teams (who now can't even get past Irish and Welsh League teams in the qualifying rounds). First OF being at Ibrox is good news. The other side of the city got their recruitment spot-on when their manager arrived but stuttered badly until September. They got away with it because we were poor, they won't be as generous. -

We finished last season well (except penalties ELF).... didn't do us much good this season. Truth was we were set-up to fail. At least this time there will be a major freshening up of the squad. Next season is all about recruitment and hitting the preverbial ground running. Recruitment can be very good but it would still be difficult to start well and churn out the wins. -

I think nearly everyone at the club knew that the time to start the overhauling of the squad that SG&Co built was directly after 55 (summer 2021) and by the end of following summer transfer window (2022) to have it more or less finished. The main reason it hasn't happened is financial. The consequences are obvious. For all that we trumpeted Ross Wilson and the modern progressive football department they failed, albeit with one arm tied behind their back. Not surprised that Wilson took the opportunity to move. The situation we have in front of us has been wrapped up in a parcel and coming down the line for a while. Some may say we are not that far behind our main rivals, we only lost by a goal etc. Get some decent players in and....etc. Financialy, we are miles behind them and are always looking to try and finance that chronic loss making deficit. It's been like that for decades now. -

August saw GVB call the overweight waster out..... .....now May sees MB do the same. Not surprised that there has been limited interest shown in Morelos. -

Anyone that is actually interested. Morelos probably doesn't want to play the remaining games. Get him to ... -

Listening to MB, sounds like he is sick of it as well. -

We didn't before MB arrived either. We must have converted a relatively high percentage though to score the amount of goals we did. Dry spell, it happens and it would be better if we could just end the season now -

The Summer 2023 Rangers Transfer Window Rumours and Deals - Thread
buster. replied to der Berliner's topic in Rangers Chat
The root problem is financial and the contrast with our only rival. From there we attempt to squeeze value out of transfer/wage spend on outside bets. We have become like a mug punter who keeps on repeating the same mistake. Managers come and go, taking on what are unreasonable expectations within the imposed time constraints. We want instant success, fine but to expect it, is for the deluded. We don't need a manager who talks the talk....we need to start being realistic and giving a manager some breathing space to build properly. I can't see us improving hugely in the short term. We don't have the finances to bring in real quality that possess a body capable of playing more than 3 games in succession. If we continue in the same vein, it'll be Groundhog Day again and again. -
A change of manager for them offers more potential for an upturn in fortune for us (domestic trophies), than if we keep changing our manager, IMO.

They also have a better squad with players who wanted it more yesterday. Our best chance of overhauling them in the coming years is that they appoint Neil Lennon as manager again.

European Final, CL group stage and difficult to repeat numbers for outgoing transfers (eg. Bassey, Patterson & Aribo) and we still need cash injections !!

(Desperately) looking to maximize match day revenue. We don't generate enough money to live at the level we are or more accurately,were accustomed to. One day we might consider looking at the harsh face of reality.
