You can't sack a manager after he's had one transfer window and inherited a squad full of disinterested and injured players.

 

That would be nuts.  

Anyone who's even considering that is quite frankly aff their nut.

Is there a chance maybe Kent & Morelos will sign new deals as free agents like Goldson did at the end of last season meaning sell on clauses for their previous clubs will be binned?

I think there's a chance we may do this with Kent, but wee Alfie is off hopefully.

He will only improve us if his signings are better than what we’ve already got. We will need at least one striker, one CB and one GK. And other positions too depending on who leaves

IMHO there's a bit more to it than that, we were superb in the 55 season not just because of our signings, but because we had an extended covid close season in which our coaching staff worked extensively on fitness and tactics, which was massively evident in the way we absolutely crowded teams out, ran them into the ground, then attacked and overloaded en masse.

The fat grease has done something similar with tenko fc this season, its not hard, but you need a pre season to do it, and players that are willing to learn, change, and work bloody hard.

I am convinced we've seen the best of Alfredo, wherever he ends up he'll never hit the heights he did for us in the EL. He's a poor finisher with a questionable work ethic and attitude. On his day he's unplayable, but those days are few and far between sadly, goodbye and thanks Alfie.

I'm also not convinced there isn't a player within Matondo, and I'm also of the opinion that big Souttar is a far better option than Davies.

Looking forward to next season, when I think Beale will significantly improve us.

Wonder if Chelsea would still have the same appeal for him in the Championship ?

We can only hope. 😆

Spot on Bill.

If your source has halved Robbie Keane I would also like to see him replace Mulholland. 

Big Marv? 😆

One of the best tackles I've ever seen, the ball, Jobbie Keane, and a lump of turf you could play a par 3 on. 😆

Bloody hell, I completely forgot about Tom Lawrence! 😬😆

I think there will be disagreement but I would be seriously pursuing Kevin Nisbet as the answer to our goalscoring issues.

Agreed, I've said as much on this forum before. I wouldn't be averse to Van Veen taking a shirt from Roofe tbh either, you'd get a lot more from him.

However, I'm confident Beale will identify better options.

Aye, go for it.

In life you can sit and greet about the situation you find yourself in, or you at least attempt can do something about it. 

You'd be better sticking to American fitba, cos you've no clue about proper fitba.

Davies on 27K, Kamara 21K, Matondo on 28K...Wilson was a first rate dipshit. 

How do you propose we sign players? Come play for Rangers, we'll give you five G, but you'll play for the jersey son, and play your heart out every week. 

Definitely need to offload a good few, but I'd give #ScottyArf another year.

We need to unearth a gem of a striker, another Jelavic.

I was calling for him to be moved on two years ago!

Call me the cruel American but the patience this club has with the chronically injured is beyond me.

Good Lord cut the cord! 

 

Aye, but you were howling at the moon that cantwell was shite, remember?.

Yilmaz and Souttar need games, now is the time, although Barisic doesn't really deserve to be dropped.

I like Alfredo, over the piece (even going for free in summer) hes been a success. But I wouldn't play him again, pointless.

I will sit on the fence . Not Proven 

Agreed. There's far too many other factors at play to judge whether he's the messiah or a very naughty boy.

I'd let Beale be his own man, he's already shown this is where he wants to be, looks like hes in this for the long term, and as much as it pains me to say it, having one man with a broad remit is working relatively well for the bheggars. 

The more King speaks, the less relevant he becomes. I wish he'd just go away now, he's quite embarrassing.

Interesting indeed. Spot on SBG.

A poor transfer window last summer & a load of injuries caused us to regress badly in the first few months of the season. Beale has stopped the slide but will be judged what he does(or gets allowed to do)in the summer transfer window ahead.
The yahoos are a club who thrive on media hype and self fanaticism. They are no world beaters 

Spot on Rab.

Your not the man for the job

Here's the forum drama queen.

Every Rangers manager has had games like that in the decades that I've watched us. Some of them did not too bad.

I just dont see the slower, patient build up being conjusive to breaking teams down

We did this in the 55 season to great effect, sucking teams out. If you just go at teams fast when they sit in, it doesn't work, utterly pointless. You have to be really confident at your ability to hold onto the ball and wait for the mistake to come, a wee space to open up, then go quickly.

A stat is a stat, but as often happens, the meaning is pointless. 

A better stat would be from his first signing. It would still be pretty hard to beat.

The Wenger stat is a bit stretched tbh, he never joined Arsenal til 96, the 86 thing is from the likes of Adams and Winterburn playing since then.

96 itself is impressive, calling it 86 is a bit shit tbh. He just happened to inherit those players.
