Has anyone actually said that?

Honestly, I'm not really sure what you guys are arguing about then. Perhaps it's just the anger of the situation spilling into all of our posts.

I really don't get why people aren't agreeing that the board are making severe, dire errors? It's been obvious over many years now, even their appointment of DoFs is riddled with errors. They really need some consultation with experienced parties before appointing anyone else.

 

Personally I think the appointment of a new manager at this stage will just put a plaster over our problems and the plaster will come off again at the start of next season. I think we are missing much more than a new manager.

 

- We need a complete clear out of the squad, I thought this was happening during the off season but I was dismayed to realise that the same players that have failed year on year still make up the bulk of our first team for our games this season. A huge failure, and I still can't get my head around getting rid of Colek who was our most efficient striker.
 

- We need to re-establish what it means to be Rangers within our dressing room. How do we do that? I believe we absolutely need to revert this snobbery of overlooking the best Scottish talent. Beale should be sacked alone for his remarks about Scottish players not being good enough and then signing Dessers and Lammers. Not only are these players a long way from the required ability we need, they are a long way from understanding what Rangers are. We need to start bringing in the best Scottish players again, and maybe the best Scottish coaches.

 

I could rant all day actually, but I have to make scrambled eggs for my kids now.

 

 

Would signing Scottish talent, eg. Shankland and Nisbet, mean more goals? We are a team set up to not make chances. It's criminal. I'm done watching Tav continually hit those floating and aimless crosses to no one.

It’s not even clear which “board” you’re ranting about.

No one knows they are hide and seek champions

The board have not been the target of the fan's ire but I think that is about to change and soon if they don't sack Beale now.

Actually it probably would mean more goals, but that wasn't the point I was making. The comparison of strikers was to illustrate the point. There is no core of players that understand the club, I believe we really miss that.

This week, instead of removing Beale, Bisgrove released a soundbite regarding increasing the capacity of Ibrox. At this rate, he's going to have to reduce the capacity. 

 

Then we decide its the ideal time to release a 4th kit. Talk about reading the room.

 

I'm sure I read there was a fan engagement meeting on Thursday night but not heard the outcome of that.

These things are planned well in advance.  They don't decide to release a new strip the night before.

I haven't seen one post that said the board shouldn't be criticised.

What does that even mean? Which board are you talking about?

It's getting the ballance right though. It would be great if they understood the club, but they also need to be good enough to help us win trophies and compete in Europe. 

 

Not saying there aren't players who would meet that criteria, Lewis Ferguson is the one that instantly springs to mind. We missed out there 100 %

In your wildest dreams do you honestly think James Bisgrove has the authority to sack Beale? I don't think you understand how Rangers works, which might explain a lot.
