From my point of view they're well run only in so far as we have given them a free run at the title and CL for 13 years; a good chunk of that time was outwith our control. More recently because we haven't invested wisely. I think it is as simple as just spending money more wisely. We should have won the league last year. But we didn't and the manager has to take a share of the blame and responsibility for that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still nothing. I don't think he said that. I believe he was noticeably silent on the whole issue of a CEO? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His sale could potentially bring in 10-15 million and that combined with player sales would have help fund our much needed rebuild. Butlands a great goalie (not as good as some people make out though...) but we have bigger issues in front of him to fix. Kelly would be good enough for the SPL and with better players in front of him. I fully agree with the sentiment (selling to fund a rebuild), but I doubt we get anything close to £10-15m for him. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's arguably still the best 10 we've got. I wouldn't play a player that has asked to leave. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree and I wouldn't want to see us pay 9 million for a Norwich back up player like they have for Idah.. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think he hasn’t? The turning point was the postponement of a match (Dundee?) which if Rangers had won would have put them on top of the league. As a result of the postponement the other team in the race got another game before Rangers did and the points gap was extended. Rangers still had games in hand but the momentum collapsed. Old Rangers sides would have redoubled their efforts but that wasn’t in the current players. You can say that the manager should have got them to do it. Would Smith or Wallace or Symon have done it? With that squad? @26th of foot says elsewhere, you can only play the hand you’ve got. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clement found out & we are where we are today 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
