Are we going to get a better coach? I don't think we should go for a new coach now when new owners will then want their own appointment two months later. I was working on the assumption that it would only be a temporary appointment which would hamper us in Europe.

Nul points. Again.

The only chink of light to this season is the European form, which would be hampered by sacking him. A new, or temporary, manager would have nothing to play for and cost money - and any potential new owners may be wanting to change it in the summer anyway. It's a waste of money. I'd just keep him in situ until then. There's nothing much to play for anyway.

He's a dead man walking, but I still don't see the benefit of sacking him now.

You lasted longer than me.

Lol.

You're welcome.

xG of 0.20 from that half. St Mirren had 0.97. Jeez...

Correct decision reached. 'Mon the VAR.

I await @Whosthedado telling us we're winning the League...

Rangers 3 - 1 St Mirren FGS Dessers

Away.

The winner of Fenerbahce vs Rangers will play the winner of Roma vs Athletic Club.

Fenerbahce vs Rangers

Source? I'm not believing anything until Brock Purdy (49ers QB -- No, I didn't just look it up!) is holding aloft a Rangers scarf at Auchenhowie.

There are examples of owners integrating quite well with their clubs, getting into the club culture, etc., like Birmingham, Burnley and Wrexham. Probably unlikely in our case as we wouldn't be the only club. It is just business, but if that makes us well-run it's not undesirable. Marathe (sp?) talks of return on investment, but he also means that the club gets value for money, like utilising data in recruitment, like FSG at Liverpool. Again, we'd need to judge the deal on its own merit rather than comparing it to others. If FSG came in, I'd bite their hand off; If John Textor came in, I'd run the other way. I don't know at this moment where 49ers sit.

I think the multi-club model is just a formal arrangement for what already happens: we're already a feeder club to English sides. There are examples of good and bad American ownership/investment, throughout Europe. We have to judge it on its own merit.

Rangers 2 - 0 St Mirren FGS Igamane

Rangers vs St Mirren

My default position is, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. In the meantime...
