Many seem to think that Sanity Claus is coming to Ibrox soon, bearing many sack loads of money. As money doesn't seem to be an issue for them. A club and it's support addicted to hopeful rhetoric (eg. annual declaration that a player trading model is the way forward) and financial losses. Listen to John Bennett. He was the first person in a position of power to seriously begin to address the issue. Clement is our first manager who seems to have accepted that direction of travel and 'invested' in it.

alexscottislegend 2,306 Posted Thursday at 12:01 Share Posted Thursday at 12:01 I want to know what's happened to Bailey Rice. Think he was playing for Scotland under-19s the other night. If he is not going to be a starter for us then he should be let go. If 16 year olds can start and star for Barcelona or for EPL clubs then they can start in Scotland. Don't give me all this "the SPL is too competitive for youngsters as managers want to protect their jobs": the same applies in any of Europe's big leagues. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,733 Posted Thursday at 12:31 Share Posted Thursday at 12:31 We would be in a far better place (for years) had our managers (including the current one) discontinued the system that does not work in Scottish football. We are probably the god-kings of possession and chances created. And likewise the god-kings of missed chances and goals conceded from a minimum of opportunities of the opposition. The bucket is with the manager. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen to John Bennett. He was the first person in a position of power to seriously begin to address the issue. Clement is our first manager who seems to have accepted that direction of travel and 'invested' in it. Break the habit!! We all want to break the habit, but breaking the habit doesn't mean we can't compete. We play in the SPL and have been unable to challenge for 14 years (give or take). That's the habit I want to break and that doesn't mean or take untold millions. Beat the rest of the SPL regularly and taking momentum into the OF games, winning 50% should see us neck-to-neck in a title race. To make that happen our players need a system that they can play in and trust, be fit (mentally and physically), be prepared to fight every second of every game. That all comes down to coaching and is as far as I am aware, free of charge. This acceptance that we need millions that isn't there to challenge is a fallacy. We need the right people in place and we'll be 90% of the way there. We have accepted that we can't challenge and excuse this as we've been told "it's a rebuild" - how long are we going to accept this? Another 5 years (that'll be 2 decades in total)? Or do we reset our mindset and realise it doesn't take a lot to challenge in Scotland - be managed correctly on and off the pitch, it's really that simple. EDIT - we do realise that Celtic pay their players less in wages and pick up better players than us on lesser fees?

They want over £4M for Miller, that's less than we paid for Diomande and Cortes. "Trading' Rice and Devine will take about £100,000 off their asking price. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every little helps in our position, if it knocks 100,000 off the asking price and we get a youth that will never make the cut out, and another going to a club with a rep for giving youth a chance, I don't see the negatives in at least looking at it. We can't compete financially with the other clubs likely interested, so we need to get creative with deals 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
