Most of the European teams don't look arsed.

Well let’s hope this American Investment group 51er’s can entertain us and put on a show for us loyal supporters to be proud of! Let’s hope we have a similar ethos in place based on Bills ethos as that has been clearly lacking for some time. Sure there not everyone’s cup of tea and I was sceptical but after there statement on the commentary situation in our VAR no goal situation. I’m starting to believe again that we have a structure in place, Sure RM has to prove himself but with the right backing and investment 🤞 we can start to build our foundations again and lay the DNA of what’s expected as a whole moving forward in the one direction with a clear sense of vision and transparency for us fans to see and give us something to believe in 🔴⚪️🔵 NS

Petershill might have put up a better showing 😆

Wouldn’t matter to me if he was polka dotted or striped as long as he can play football

He's a proper ginger too, look at those freckled arms. Great Rangers teams always have a ginger in them, this is a good sign.

That length of tenure was actually much more common than you think. Willie Maley was Celtic manager for 43 years, in the early 20th century it wasn't unusual for managers to serve for 20 plus years. Guy Roux famously managed Auxerre for 44 years in more recent times. Struth's longevity is still impressive even for the period, but it's his success that's really noteworthy. Celtic were the dominant side in Scotland when he joined the club, by the time he left Rangers had won 10 more titles than Celtic. The manager's job was different then than it is today. Back then the manager was in charge of the club on a day to day basis and involved in all aspects of it. So Struth was felt across every aspect Rangers, not just the first 11. It's difficult to overstate his importance. Rangers weren't the massive club they are today when he took over, Glasgow was a city of immigrants many with no family ties to Rangers. Working men chose to go and see a football match based on who would entertain them as much as who they wanted to win. Rangers were an attractive side to watch, they had brilliant players who put on a show. Struth understood that football was about winning but also about doing it with a certain style.

Thinking Inter may have a bad knock on from the CL Final proved right.

Sounds a very level-headed young man.

Trust you to spoil what I thought was an excellent riposte!

What I know about Bill is he wasn’t just an Excellent All round Manager what he said went he was in full control! Modern day football is like a revolving door whilst Struth managed us for 34 years, apart from Alex Ferguson have we ever had anyone on world football to hold a position that long? Struths team was built in the understanding of the Rangers way of life installing a system in place where he would effectively become the Law in everything from player dress codes we see today, His discipline and work ethos is something we are seriously lacking in the today’s word of football. Sure he never faced criticism from today’s Social media’s or the pressure from all these agents sporting directors etc, Which I think has ruined today’s football aspect as this creates a sense of this player is better than that player or my client needs to have this and that game played bonus or whatever crap they have in today’s contracts. Under Bill Struth they all had the upmost respect for him and knew the job at hand and that was to win games. Yet today’s players know they can go to there agents etc if there unhappy which if it’s a “Top” performer this can have a negative impact on today’s managers resulting in a revolt in the ranks leading to the manager’s dismissal.

They've had a chance over the past 7 years. They've raised a lot of cash but it's now time for the current board to stand aside and allow people with fresh enthusiasm to take over. 7 years is a long time for those in charge to run the organisation and their enthusiasm has obviously waned. It's noticeable that the only communication over the last year (apart from the AGM poll) is to advise us that they met with Cavenagh. If meeting the owners of the club is the only thing that they can get enthused about then they're showing the reason that they're holding onto their positions.

Yes, me too.

There is the Fans Advisory Board, who weren't shy to make their feelings known about the reaction to the tifo.
