I'd keep Yilmaz, Igamane, Propper and Danilo. The rest can go. For absolutely no reason.

Patrick Stewart? At least it's not William Shatner.

GvB didn’t deserve the sack IMO. He wasn’t given funds to rebuild after we sold players. Incredibly though the board did give funds to the rookie Beale

You take their record in full, or full seasons; you don't just pick a random number to suite your argument. Did you know Warburton is better than Guardiola? Warburton's last 5 games - W2, D1, L2 Guardiola's last 5 games - 0W, 0D, 5L. Bring him home.

I knew I shouldn't have got my hopes up...

We'd be better off with Scotty: he can always beam somebody up.

Anyone who didn't vote for Cerny should be banned from voting in next MOTM thread. 😀

Souttar, Jefte, Raskin, Hagi, Cerny I’d be happy to keep. Butland, Sterling, Barron, Diomande, I don’t mind if they stay but meh if they go. Tav, Propper, Ridvan, mcCausland, Lawrence, Dessers, Danilo, Igamane, Bajrami, Dowell I’d be happy to see leave. Anybody I’ve missed is because I can’t even think of them as I’m typing this so I guess I’m not that bothered about keeping. But to those saying this is worst team in X years that’s just frustration as the football under Beale just last year was much much worse than this lot, and then you’re also forgetting the Pedro monstrosity when we lost in Luxembourg and of course the side that couldn’t win the Championship under Super Ally. That’s all within the last 10 years. It might be 1 top flight title in 14 years but we weren’t in the top flight for 4 years and we won the title in the only division we were allowed to play in during 3 of 4 years so a bit of balance would be nice. The board gave upon this title last summer to get the books back in order. Clement got 3 instructions in the summer - take £10M off the wage bill, reduce the age of the squad, bring in players we can sell for profit. First 2 are ticked off and 3rd possible but not nailed on. Having done what was asked I don’t see him getting sacked. I’m fairly numb about league results as the title was gone in July so perhaps that’s why I’m not as angry as others with the current situation.

Unless I have my dates wrong I don't think it was possible to win th PL when we were not in it!!!!!,

In hindsight, I'd agree with this. I'd also say he didn't get the credit he deserved for getting us to the EL final. When you look at the teams we defeated to get there, it was an absolute incredible achievement. I'd say that even some Rangers fans play this down for some reason. Maybe it's because we lost to the "weakest" team we faced in the later stages of the competition. We should have won the EL - if we had a fit striker (either Roofe or Morelos), we'd have won it IMO.

Cammy, yes it is like that. Fan impatience and in recent years, unrealistic expectation levels, have contributed to bad decision making at board level. That isn't to give the board a free pass, far from it. They should have had the savvy and courage to do the necessary wrt real austerity and sorting our finances out. ----------------- Reminds me of kids chucking their toys out the pram and demanding new ones when their single parent is holding down 3 jobs, just to put food on the table. Then the kid tells the single parent that it is all their fault for buying new toys instead of putting food in the table.

Make it so.

Did he!

And replace him with who? They won’t sack him until a replacement has been identified who wont get any more out these players. shout out all you like about the manager but the players we’ve got ain’t good enough

We are all in agreement Dessers isn't good enough ON HIS OWN, maybe he needs a strike partner. Even still, if you remove him and his 10 goals he is replaced by someone else and that somene could possibly have scored 20 goals.

Were they not 13 ahead by October in O’Neil’s second season or is that a distorted nightmare memory? Your point is valid, though. The League has been gone for some time. Correct as is the rest of your summary. Hagi can take a shot at goal and is generally more forward going than Diomande. Hagi, Barron and one of the other two might be the best pick. Could do with a proper destroyer. Actually two. One in midfield and one in defence.

I can't see Clement being sacked.

Careful! That's an indirect attack on Dessers which must not be tolerated by Cammy!

The Jefte / Ridvan sub when chasing the game was utterly bizarre. Cerney only player who got pass marks in my humble opinion.

Awful first half. Good second half. Did enough to win, but didn't.

A proper appraisal of Sir David Murray's tenure of Rangers is a thread in its own right, and probably one that stretches for a lot of pages. On Souness, whatever views people hold of his departure, and it was badly handled by all concerned with the exception of Murray, ironically, he must be seen as one of the most important figures in the club's history. The magnitude of his influence on Rangers, and all of Scottish football, is almost difficult to comprehend today. The ripples from some of the boulders he threw are still being felt today I'd argue. There remains much to admire about Souness, his charity work is exceptional, he's always positive about Rangers, when it's not always fashionable to be so, his punditry can be entertaining too. His insights into the appointment of Clement are interesting. His argument for Lampard isn't without merit and it's interesting to hear his views on how the current manager is doing. Souness has knowledge and experience that none of us possess, but that alone doesn't mean he's always right. I've always felt Gordon Smith is one of those ex-players who people constantly over-estimate his ability simply because he's half way articulate. A bit like Pat Nevin, broadcasters swoon over him because he's capable of throwing in a few big words, and assume this must equal intelligence and insight. In actual fact Smith (and Nevin) have consistently shown themselves to make poor decisions, lack insight and struggle when given real power. That said he can be entertaining and enjoyable to listen to some of his stories.

A mate just sent me this, made me chuckle.. Rangers board attempted to sack Clement today but accidentally promoted him to CEO.....

Just been told Clement is away. Statement at 6pm. However very unsure about the source so don't quote me if untrue.

I’m hearing absolutely no truth in Clement out rumours or any announcement at 6pm.

His team won the league scoring over 100 goals.

This season was written off before a ball was kicked IMO. No one can look at our transfer activity in the summer and think we are better off. We were told we need to dump wages and that’s why. This is just going to be a long season of turgid dross we all need to get through and hope that recruitment improves and we somehow manage to bring in a few big fees for the likes of Butland, Jefte or Sterling.

Don't shoot the messenger.... From our man on the rails Clement has left by mutual consent. Alex Rae will take interim charge for Nice and St Johnstone at the weekend. Mcinnes, Gerrard and Potter are rumoured to be the top 3 candidates for the job. Official statement on Clements departure expected around 6pm this evening

Reminds me of kids chucking their toys out the pram and demanding new ones when their single parent is holding down 3 jobs, just to put food on the table.

Souttar still has the odd brain fart and poor game in him (he was very poor yesterday IMO). As you say the entire Dessers situation is a conundrum. He scores goals - top scorer last season and top scorer this season. Clement appeared to be happy going into this season with Dessers as his only fit striker. Yet we can all see he isn't good enough. We rely on him to get us goals with little or no support and no one to share the burden yet we get on Dessers back when it doesn't happen.

There appears to be new executive management incoming. They will have a remit that won't be about, "sinking into oblivion". Lets see what they do. We'll need to show some patience or 1 title in 14 years will start to look like the good old days.

Just a quick point in recruitment, if the scouts that identified and recommended the likes of Davies and Matondo are still at the club and involved in recruitment then we will have the same recruitment problems regardless of who is DOF or 1st team manager.

Pay off the manager Get a better manager in Get better quality executive management in Get better quality players in Get rid of the dead wood Do it now, beat Celtic now challenge for the title now Then do it all again in a year

We really need someone who can defeat the Romulans.

I'd add a destroyer at no9 as well. Someone like Morelos, Hateley, Darchville (sp).

When Danilo & Hagi came on there was movement middle to front. That was missing first half

I'm utterly dreading playing Spurs and Man U. In fact, I dread us playing anyone at the moment.

Former Manchester United chief set to land Rangers CEO role https://www.rangersreview.co.uk/news/24746340.former-manchester-united-chief-set-land-rangers-ceo-role/

Both appear high calibre individuals. Wonder who did the interviews? 🙄

I've not felt so disengaged from the club in the 43 years I've been actively following Rangers.

It appears Danilo is as ineffective as Dessers when it comes to putting the ball in the net. Dessers would have been crucified for that Danilo miss. Whoever scouted and said we'd be unable to afford Igamane next season needs sacked We're just a poorly coached team with no style. We're slow, pedestrian, lack focus and determination.

A disappointing result in more ways than one. First half we were slow, predictable & created little & they scored with one of their few attacks. Second half we were much better with Danilo & Hagi on for the ineffective duo of Dessers & Diomande. Scored an excellent goal and could have got 3 or 4 if a bit sharper in front of goal. We are not scoring enough goals at the moment mainly due to the strikers. From where we are at the moment maybe it’s time to persist with Danilo & Hagi?

Good to see us reeling in the points gap to Aberdeen.

Encouraging to see Sterling in for Tavernier.

I hope this story has no footing in reality. Compensation or not, yet another winter with another manager out the door would make us a real laughing stock for all the yahoos who seem to outnumber real Bluenoses on all things Rangers online.

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.

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?

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.
