Half-time on Sunday, I'd say.

WTF?! How?

 

What is it you've seen that you want him to continue?

I think what you’re seeing is the expression of hope. It’s a variant of faith and requires no actual evidence or coherent analysis, merely a belief that if we do nothing the malfunctioning manager will ‘come good’. By what means, no one knows.

 

Bold and decisive action is terrifying for many and must be put off until such time as either the redeeming miracle turn up or the situation gets so bad that it’s safe to be judgmental.

Rangers are broken again.

 

All the points made on this thread are valid and, I understand the urgency in attempting to rectify the situation. Impatience is very rarely a good thing.

 

As stated, the club has had 11 Gaffers in 11 years, five temporary appointments and six permanent. The longest lasting, Gerrard at three and half years provided the necessary continuity to deliver the Premiership. The Board appeared to have financially backed Michael Beale and this adds to our collective frustration. If we are living within our means, how much dosh is left?

 

I am driving at the financial compensation due to the current Boss and his staff then, there's the cost of compensating another club(if that is the road we decide to travel) for their Manager and staff.

 

Of course, there are those who will argue we cannot afford to wait but, our Board might be constrained by an overriding consideration. It is something to consider?

Have they though?  Granted, they have backed him to 'make changes' to the squad, but we have balanced the books in the process - with total income very close to total spend. 

 

How much dosh is left? Left from what? There was zero to start with obviously.

 

If we are living within our means, we shouldn't spend anything. However, then let's just accept 2nd best, whilst they hoover up titles, cups, trebles, guaranteed Champions League football with greater prize funds now on offer (from next season), let's meekly surrender our proud record of titles and trophy wins. They will be the most successful club in the world (domestically), it's close happening, so let's sit here and live within our means. OR....our board and investors find a way. They need to.  OR, let's juts roll the dice again, you never know, we may roll a double six.
