The truth is that we have sticker shock so instead of just saying..."Not this year Marge" people are playing the "We're a higher standard." line. Which is disingenuous and a copout. That kid is 20 firiggin years old. What other 20 years olds on this team can play like that? Not a damned one. Beale even stated he was the most talented young player he has ever dealt with at the club. Hello McFly...he worked with both Bassey and Patterson. I would rob a bank to keep that kid.

Oh stop. Leads the team in tackles...second on the team in fouls drawn, third in interceptions, leads the team in fouls given, but not in yellow cards. This kid is a midfielder...that is 'getting stuck in'...full stop. Was the leading tackler in the cup game against them...despite being injured in like the 60th minute or something? All this bullshit about graft, and not doing the hard yards, or work off the ball is just that.

It's Scotland. A beautiful mess.

Absolutely! Or at least post a preferred charity. What's a few bucks?

Agree to disagree on this.

If we can...we should. Get some other force multipliers to pair him with and we could see this kid's value skyrocket. My only worry is that we have hamstrung ourselves in dealing with the devil that is BM. So many sharks and we have shown time and time again how we are particularly inept with contractual issues.

Funny, the one place where I would pay for Rangers content and you guys don't accept any. Preferred charity?

You really want a guy whose highest aspiration is Rangers? Let's be real. "Oh yes my dream is to be in the SPFL and play the rhat catchers five times a year." We all know the truth...levels are levels. We want young, hungry players who can shine at our club and be turned for a profit...Bassey Ajax...Aribo...SH...Patterson...Evertoons That would be one of my first questions to a player. "Where do you wanna be in 5 years?" His ass better not be sayin at Rangers. Cause that doesn't make me or him any better. Raskin is goal oriented and knows that in order to move to Chelsea he will have to produce at a high level.

Man, that first goal from QP was insane. I wanted them to win...mix things up. BTW--Still the greatest strip ever created.

He already has his fez on. Homeboy won't be back. Zero F's given.

Beauty of this league. Nothing to lose games by the handful. There is no danger of jeopardizing our current position in the table. CLQ/EL are there either way. Beale should be treating this last five as a dress rehearsal/evaluation. Run new formations, tactics, personnel. Give the young bucks tons of on-field time. King, Devine, Lovelace, Rice...get all them dudes on. These are 'freebies', make every minute count. I personally don't give a rat's ass if we lose every one either. As long as things are being learned.

Cool, I hope he makes that dream come true.

Speaking to 90min in 2021 about his football philosophy, Wilson said: "You have to change throughout, adapt and reflect what you're thinking. Yes, your principles inside stay the same, but you have to keeping adapting. "We have built a modern infrastructure here [at Rangers], we have built up many things such as analytics in data and analysis across different areas, but we are always building. I am not saying you rip it up and start again, but it is a constant evolution." https://www.nottinghampost.com/sport/football/football-news/explained-ross-wilsons-football-philosophy-8346821 Doesn't sound like what the plan was to me. The plan was always to innovate, grow, innovate, grow. Stasis was never in the plan...that includes players. The problem with Ross Wilson was that he had a pair of squirrel balls.

We all get a life lesson...it tends to form our overall trajectory for the duration. Usually it happens in our late teens or early twenties. Lampard just had to wait till post 40 for his. We are watching hope, manifestation, realization, decline, and failure happen live. I'm quite enjoying it.

We need one Jefe at the club. A DOF with a steel sack. I am tellin you. Or we are gonna be back here weepin like school girls.

Assets, nothin more, nothin less. Waitin was in the stone age. "Players are cattle and owners are ranchers, and the ranchers can always get more cattle." -Tex Schramm

Sure would. That's good money for largely unproven talent in Scotland. That's what we are supposed to do. Every head in that team needs to have a price put on their head. Sometimes I think they should change the name to the Glasgow Hoarders. Sell them shits on son...sittin around waitin for Messi.

Yes because any interest in talent which you (Mike) have had first hand coaching and managing experience is seriously "awf da bleedin tayboh." I don't get it...why? Why won't the press ask why? His tone was like he was responding a to a question about eating a prune. "No sir...won't be avin nun a dem...run ryte froo me dey do." So was he sayin they were all crap? Whatever.

Once again, no offense but I mean come on now. Like a buddy of mine and his stupid Porsche. Loves that car but he drives it for a month and then it's back in the shop. I say "get you a stang, a vette" He says "no they dont have the balance" The balance on what? The car lift at the shop? Some folks love gettin their ass kicked.

Preach! Nailed that one. We had a blueprint, we had an ops plan, we had all of the schematics laid out. The project was, by many counts, ahead of schedule. We achieved say, step 7 (league, Europe contention) of 10, and just pulled the plug. They just stopped. Why? Weak leadership. This is why you need somebody who can strategically plan a way forward. Stick to that plan, and DIRECT his staff to carry out the plan. Do we have that now? I think we have a guy who knows how to sell the brand...but do we have a proper 'football guy' at the helm? I have found in professional life, everyone can get a say, but you need the one guy with the balls to say "no..zip yer yap..we are going here." All this namby pamby leadership by committee BS is for communists and hippies. You can bet your ass that is what's happenin too. I don't have to be there to see the signs. "I don't know...do you know...what do you think?" "Oh what does the coach want?" "Oh what are the papers sayin?" "Oh the UB's are protesting again." "what if they don't like me?" "What about that new house in Boca I just bought?" Don't you kid yourself We need a proper figurehead who is just gonna hit that ball extend button and get'r dun. But what are we doin? Kieran F*&^%% Dowell. I know I know it's just the start but I can already see where this train is headed to. You can't dance to a skippin record.

No offense here Pooh my man...but yer friend's a dipshit.

Nah, not takin a serious swipe. They work with what they have. I saw an interview with Martindale. Seems like a nice guy. He came out of the joint with nothin and kept on the straight path to building a good life. Good on em.

I appreciate their situation but thems the facts. Up and down with a low budget tend to attract midland players cause that's what they can afford. Now, I can relate as Rangers are in the same boat. However, every player we recruit needs to have two questions raised. Is he tough enough, and is he good enough to give the other team in Scotland a fight? If need be, if we need him to, can we see him hangin with them? Contributing? Scoring? Would he be near the top of our league? Is he dependable? Can he stay healthy? No. No. No.

I hope they sold him to a really good league. He deserves a proper quality league. Botswana Premier League perhaps? Exactly, and remember, this is Norwich, not exactly staggering heights. Norwich is the quintessential porpoise club. Up to the EPL...down to the Champ...up to the EPL...down again.
