Great player one of the old school who could read the game always took up a covering position when big McNeil went forward for a corner aye a good solid professional.

I hope they recruit strongly so its not as much of a factor as people expect. We need to get away from this manager is a silver bullet to all our problems mindset as a support.

We'll just have to wait and see. I was initially taken by surprise that he was even in contention, then I accepted it. I'm now back on the WTF side though - just not getting the appointment at all.

If you are referring to Martin, I think it'll work out for the best. The players will like him, he has a style of play and as long as he gets the right recruitments in, one who can be motivated to beat the Hibs, St Mirrens and Motherwells, then I have high hopes. One things for sure, it's either going to be a stroke of genius or complete insanity.

History tells us not to go 'bawdeep' when the new owners come in. I remember the gushing eulogies for Whyte on here and FF, then Green (maybe not on here) et al. I'm actually a bit disappointed that real Rangers men couldn't get us closer to Celtic, though I still dont think we are that far away. They went all-in to stop them winning 10IAR, then couldn't "fix the roof" because the covid bolox meant we had missed out on a lot of gate money etc. Good luck to the new guys though, hopefully the expertise that Marathe spoke of can deliver for our long suffering fan base, particularly the kids who have never seen Rangers win a title at Ibrox. My son is going to be 20 this year, and he has never seen Rangers win a title at Ibrox, despite him having a season ticket since 2015! When I was his age, I'd just watched us win title after title during the 90s.

My old man attended today's EGM and had a brief chat with a former Director, who referred to the new owners as the 'real deal' I think that they probably are. Still unsure about their first big decision though.

Rats is strong imo, spivs is right.

Rats? FFS! That's a bit strong .Yes, do tell us their names.

Who are they?

I had many misgivings about the outgoing board but I wouldn’t refer to them as rats. I do think they were maybe à bit out of their depth at times and their decision making often poor

I beg your pardon? Who are the "Rats" you're referring to?

WS let them all leave during his second spell as Rangers manager.

Curiosity have we ever had any kind of promises before and been an epic fail in the end? I’m curious to know of past failures apart from the obvious ones in the 90’s/00’s. Also what promises worked and didn’t work that may be implemented going forward in today’s word, So far the new owners have promised us a long term plan and 🤞 they are true to their word. They have also defended us in the latest VAR scandal which we haven’t had in a long time. I’m optimistic about them saying they are bringing stability to the club and going about trying to make us a fortress again. They have got rid of the Rats let’s see what damage is done and hopefully transparency is the key then we know what’s coming our way in the future for our club. NS 🔴⚪️🔵

Not wanting to be a Debbie downer, but much of what they say is just simple common sense. Maybe its refreshing because we haven't had much of that recently.

I like that they're going to focus on the squad before stadium upgrades. We need to start winning trophies regularly again.

One of the main takeaways from today is that they still plan to have AGMs, which is good. Also that they will 'surprise folks' with (the players) they bring in. Sounds exciting!

All resolutions passed.

I'd be happy for us to drop our fee demands slightly in Dessers' case. 😀

Again another 48 hour saga that seems to drag on for months. I don't think AEK can afford to pay what we are looking for with Dessers. We need to give them a deadline. Once he is back in pre season training if they haven't paid what we want, deal off.

Talk a good game anyway, always excited whenever they speak.

Thanks. Some of the stuff they're saying certainly sounds good.

AEK Athens are pushing hard to tie up a deal for Cyriel Dessers within the next 48 hours (Scottish Sun), external. Croatian striker Matija Frigan says the Scottish Premiership would be perfect for him as Rangers and Hamburg are linked with the 22-year-old currently with Westerlo in Belgium. (Daily Record), external Robin Propper will begin pre-season with Rangers this week despite a bid for the 31-year-old centre-half from his former club, Twente Enschede, but is expected to hold talks with new head coach Russell Martin before deciding on his future.

Will update as progresses. Questions regarding transfers went into Transfer thread
