Match Thread [FT] Dundee 1 - 1 Rangers (Cerny 34)

[RANGERRAB 3,856]

In my view Clement is the symptom not the cause of where we are just now. 

Until we get changes upstairs to allow new investment it doesn’t matter who the manager is. But that will mean boardroom changes & maybe existing shareholders selling up. 
We need to get away from building a team of bosmans and low cost bargains who are too often found wanting.

Rousseau will be pleased. I can see another unanimous vote for this games MOTM, his name is noneoftheabove.

Whilst I agree, Clement's away record is indefensible and inexcusable, with little or no evidence that it'll improve.

I will not attempt to polish that turd, but it changes nothing really 😒

It really doesn't change anything. 

 

It's just another abysmal away result, league is over anyway, there was no money on the line, it doesn't matter. It's the 10th of Jan and not a snifter of a signing, and I will be stunned to see anything significant happen. We'll see some cover coming for injuries, but nothing to get excited about. 

 

As for Clement, he's obviously been backed, he knows it and they'll carry on with him for at least this season and next. That's my feeling. 

 

On a personal note, I don't believe Clement and the board's project will be successful from a performance perspective. Success at the moment looks like it's only about cutting the wage bill in order to operate as a going concern. That's the harsh reality. 

 

The club is on it's knees. Would a new manager change things? Other than a new manager bounce, I don't think so. So as much as it pains me to say it, I prefer to stick with what we've got and hope I'm wrong about the board and Clement's little story.

The Europa form and table is keeping Clement in a job. Its still baffling how we can be so good on the continent yet dog awful domestically. I am leaning towards Clement he no answers in the bread and butter competition - the league. Yet his contract was extended to 2028 so getting rid isnt going to be easy. 

 

St Mirren, Motherwell, Hibs and Dundee = 3 points, that is very sackable.

Honestly, I don't even know where to begin with this one. Another shambolic performance from us at Dens Park. It's like we've completely forgotten how to play football. The referee? Don't even get me started. Some of those decisions were scandalous, but let's be honest, we didn't exactly cover ourselves in glory either.

Individual errors plagued us all night. It was like watching a team of strangers out there, nobody seemed to know what they were supposed to be doing. And the tactics? Forget about it.  PC doesn't have a clue what he's doing. One minute we're beating Celtic, the next we're getting carved open by Dundee & Hibs. It's infuriating our away form is shocking despite the backing the fans give them on away games. 

We've got a squad full of talented players, but they're being completely mismanaged. Some of them are playing out of position, others aren't being used at all. It's like watching a jigsaw puzzle being put together by a toddler.

And to top it all off, PC  has come out and publicly said the board will 200% be with him, It's clear they're completely out of touch with the reality of the situation. They simply don't understand what this club is about. We, the fans, want to see attacking, dominant football. We want to see a team that reflects the proud history of Rangers. Instead, we're watching a shadow of our former selves.

This isn't good enough. This isn't Rangers. We need to see a drastic improvement, and fast. This season is lost can we even recover and improve for the start of next season makes me feel uncomfortable, to say the least.

Still can’t believe some of his subs last night. Bringing on Matondo at half time was just dumb. Guy offers nothing and I’d gladly never see him again.

 

Then his Pedro-esque throw attacking subs at the game and hope something happens.. bleh.

Searching for a winner and leaves our top scorer on the bench.

[CammyF 8,611]

Had an epiphany last night. 

 

Why should I, or others care what's happening at our club when it's clear nobody at the club does?

 

I wasn't going to go back until Clement was gone, but going to go on Sunday. 

 

Toxic atmosphere, fans arguing / fighting with each other, dross off and on the pitch, wouldn't miss it for the world.

 

They say that in football that you get what you deserve. Whilst that's not always true, it certainly is regarding Rangers at the moment.

Our top scorer is absolutely toilet water and should be forced out the door ASAP. Him and Matondo both. Wage thief's.
