Hounding them out when there's no one ready to step in would be catastrophic.

Best decision that's ever been made. Ever.

Yeah, I haven't heard one sensible alternative. They may have made some bad decisions, but most were made with the best of intentions, and they've continued to fund the club. If people think things are bad now, how much worse would we be if they walked away taking their £20m support with them?

Hope that wasn't/ isn't our job advert.........

That's a lovely apostrophe...

VP and Technical Director

If I was a betting man, and I'm not, I might put a small sum on a new CEO being unveiled shortly before the agm. Something that removes some of the sting that might be coming the directors way feels like a smart move to me. It stretches credulity to think that we're not actively searching for a new CEO. We can, and should, criticise the board, but they're not idiots. I doubt when that person is announced it will satisfy all the support, but that's where we are just now. I'm really not sure I'd be recommending the board make some kind of holding statement though, it'll just push this back to the top of the agenda, and currently Clement is acting as a lightening rod for the board, can't see them looking to change that in a hurry.

Nothing is required.

Given the last potential CEO allegedly backed out due to his family getting unwarranted attention, it may be that they've decided to not say anything until the guy is in place. Obviously they could make a holding announcement but that could cause more problems than it solves, depending in the progress that they're making.

I don't want them gone / hounded out. I want them to realise they need to get people in place who can run a football club.

The issues weren't under Souness or Smith (either time). The spending under Advocaat was crazy and that's when the problems arose and it was around this time that Murray got creative with tax as well.

1-0 Scotland.

Your not interested in watching the sexy football that Scotland play 0_0 against 10 men Croatia I suppose that's as good as it gets

Available on YouTube - so one of my lads us just informed me. Spoiler- he's already switched it off 😀

Naw we’ll get a useless namby pamby yes man who big Peter across the city will kick on his balls for fun

Surely Bocanegra is more suited to Director of Football than CEO? What role did he have at Atlanta?

I think Blank sacking Bocanegra makes this unlikely, not that I'd be against both happening. Regarding Clement being the boards lightening rod, probably part and parcel of his new contract. Appointing a CEO and / chairperson and throwing them straight into the AGM is unfair, so yes, it'll probably happen 😀

Seriously - just ignore. It's not worth it.

Thread Police as well now - you've got more jobs than Gilligan (now back on topic).

I've got JonC on Facebook. Loves his golf these days

I thought you'd take it as a compliment as you're up against some tough compition.

As it's the international break, I thought this would be better here. BMCK was back for a spell last year, iirc. We spoke about Dostoevsky. I felt inferior.

He'll have to play musically chairs by himself and wear multiple hats. Hopefully he's been investigated the average temperatures of the pies as he's sure to be asked about them.

Doesn’t prevent him from being right occasionally.

Imagine taking time to appoint suitable candidates and not updating customers (how they view us) at every turn, even if that might negatively impact the recruitment process (I doubt any candidates would want their names in the public domain, especially with some of the whining brats in our support).

SDM can be blamed for a lot of things, but he can't be blamed for the current boards continued gross mismanagement. Once we accept that the current board continues to spend more than we earn we'll see where the problem lies. As well as the money they and King have loaned us, they've squandered CL money, EL money, £50M in transfer fees (Patterson, Bassey, Aribo, Sakala and Kamara), year on year recored ST sales / income, over inflated Euopean tickets and substantial merchandise / retail growth. As well as financial mismanagement, we have ; NEH - overbudget, under utilised. Copland Upgrade - not completed on time, had to rent Hampden and a public ridiculing. Vacant Roles - still unable (or unwilling) to fill 4 critically important roles within the club. Recruitment - aligned to the above, continued recruitment of the wrong people. Now, if you believe the board don't need "hounded" regarding all of the above and it's somehow SDM and the fans fault, then there is little hope for us. As it stands, as long as the bowling club committee are in charge (i.e making the day to day decisions), we are heading for oblivion.

We were well run during NIAR and came out of it with cash in the bank.

Ask John Bennett's wife about deserving to be hounded out and the effects. Ask other financial backers and major shareholders who have and are keeping the lights on, how they feel about the situation. Ask yourself what happens if you hound out those keeping the club solvent. Tell us how you hound major shareholders out. Tell us what the alternative is. ______________ Fans do have to take some of the responsibility but that is for a separate post.

People think we were well run in the late 80s early 90s but we were lashing out money back then we couldn’t really afford Souness must have laid out plenty and Smith must have paid plenty in his first term I doubt if we’ve ever really recovered since those days when we bought some very good but expensive players.

Nothing I can do - the voice we have is pay up and shut up or stop paying up. Given I've already paid for my ST and EL tickets the don't pay option isn't on the table until next season. However, sitting back and accepting a decade of gross mismanagement hasn't gone well has it? So we're all for sitting back and hoping against all hope that the board who've squandered for decades suddenly get it right.

We could try treating the men whose loans have kept the club afloat with a bit of respect, whilst tempering expectations but also not accepting how badly the team are performing. Neither 'sack the board' or 'accept mediocrity' are of much use to Rangers just now. We have problems at every level but the board can't release a statement about every part of the recruitment process, Clement needs to learn to adapt and compete better and we need another transfer window or two to rid ourselves of dross like Dessers and Lawrence.

I was watching the darts but reading the live text, had no idea it was on telly though. Imagine the difference in our team right now with Ferguson and Mendes in the midfield at the peak of their powers with Novo on the right. (awaiting Gonzo to bring up time machines dont exist 😃). Just a different level.

Brave of you to loan players to our direct rivals...

Gaza alone was worth the cost of your season ticket .icket

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. Break the habit!!
