So am I but I believe many amongst us are still not convinced this is anything but an aberration and that Murray will wave his wand and everything will be wonderful again. I think it will need to get much worse before the majority see what's been going on - and it will - even then most of them will never actively protest, they will just find something else to fill their matchdays. Great club, shame about the support, many of whom are complicit in Murray's mess.

Are you Vicky Pollard in disguise?

It's not bad luck though. It's complete mis-management from top to bottom. Years of it.
-
How can you give a list of "available" players to a football agent and then be surprised when he tries to make business out of it. Murray is lying through his teeth. That this has become the subject of a public spat simply ensures that any remaining morale in the dressing room is well and truly gone. Is there nothing these clowns can get right ffs?
-
Barry Ferguson has been to the captaincy of Rangers what David Murray has been to custodianship and Walter Smith has been to the office of manager. Three people who so aptly characterise our current malaise and three people we would undoubtedly be better of without.

Irony should be less ironic, otherwise it just becomes bollocks. No longer the climate for jokes. The day I hold a banner worshipping the bastard fraudster who has single handedly fukked this club will be the day they lower me into the ground. Even Murray's nauseating puppies must be starting to see the light now. You know, the ones who have been so happy to watch him re-invent Rangers as Sanitised FC, apologising at every step for being what we should be proud to be. That's if they've stopped ejaculating over his knighthood long enough to notice what's going on. This fake custodian has basked in our club's name for two decades and is finally reaching the end of the road and, let me tell you, there will be fukk all left when he has finished. Except debt and failure. Quite simply, David Murray is the worst thing to befall Rangers in 135 years of achievement and honour - and we will very likely never recover from his legacy of shame. The man is a complete bastard who wouldn't last five minutes in a locked room with me and this lump hammer.

"The biscuit tin is changing direction."

Yes, get off our complacent arses and protest. Do not renew season tickets, stay away from home games, call hotlines, write letters to newspapers, complain to the club, picket the front door at Ibrox, picket Murray Park, make bannewrs, publices your disgust at Murray at all opportunities. At the very least, stop belittling those who do protest. Or we could keep on doing what we've done these last ten years or so....... nothing.
-
Why? There's not exactly been any lack of justification. Perhaps you've just enjoyed being lied to, or maybe got so used to it you didn't notice any more?
-
Hopefully McCoist is so disillusioned that he follows these players out of the club. Great player, Rangers legend, our managerial disaster in the making. What we desperately need is a complete break with the past. No more ex-players, no more burnt out ex-managers, no spent chairmen. New owners, new direction, new ambitions.
-
I am doing everything I can........... please believe me .......... we will come through this. Sorry Murray, stop lying, the facts say different. The only ones more guilty are the supporters who applauded you while you castrated Rangers.
-
Not quite all of us are surprised, mate. Some of us have been ridiculed for predicting just this sort of meltdown. The SPL just became a one club league.
-
While tragic for Rangers, there's a sort of perverse pleasure seeing David Murray in his new role as keeper of Glasgow's biscuit tin. The blowhard of the nineties seems long gone. or at least I wish he was.

Ten short years ago Advocaat had assembled the bulk of his new team. Arthur Numan, Ronald de Boer, Giovanni van Bronkhorst, Gabby Amato, etc. joined the likes of Amoruso, Albertz and so on. Now we cannot afford to hold on to players who Advocaat wouldn't have wiped his shoes on. That's the reality of how things have changed for Rangers these last ten years. Crazy spending followed by crippling debt, followed by clueless drifting and mismanagement have all but brought the club to its knees. The crime isn't selling Kris Boyd, the crime is the complete lack of leadership and direction. Boyd is one of the few bright lights at Ibrox today. We feel distraught about his possible departure because we know that when he goes, it will signal the club dropping to another new level of decrepitude. It will represent abandoning second best for something even less ambitious. Six months ago we approached another new season with many fans convinced we had regrouped and were on the upslope again. It amazed me then how many fans saw Walter Smith as a safe pair of hands and thought David Murray has recovered his enthusiasm for the fight. What a crock that was. Surely no one actually believes in these people any more. Surely.

Ferguson has achieved so little since he came back that I find it hard to understand what people see in him or why anyone would be upset to see him leave. Further, the requirement for a better midfield in the current team is so acute that I'd certainly like to see us try to find a solution without Ferguson and his endless square passes. He seems to have lost all ability to tackle and win the ball has all but gone and his distribution has become so negative that he neither contribute to attack nor defence. He also seems to inhibit those around him and its beyond obvious that he and Mendes find it impossible to co-exist. He's had a decent run but the time has definitely come to let him go and make room for others.
-
Ffs guys, can't we find a future without continually dragging the past along like some sort of wart. Sometimes it seems we're obsessed with ex-players. Anyone would think we lack confidence in the future.
-
I think we're far too narrow as it is and, since we don't have attacking fullbacks, the thought of further restricting wide play from midfield is hardly an attractive proposition. Those tactics would be snuffed out by every average SPL team by playing a straightforward back four with a defensive midfielder in front of them. Not exclusive but we need two things very badly - pace and width.
-
Here's to grumpy fekkers. :cheers:

It would be wonderful business - and business we need to be doing every year if we are to curb debts. However, some of these need to be players we are bringing through ourselves. Of course we could just stop buying deadwood and paying them ridiculous wages and bonuses.
-
It's a hell of a dilemma right enough. Two last-gasp titles in eight years have kept the current regime in business when without these celtic would now be half a season away from repeating nine in a row and the Rangers support would be in uproar. As it is, Murray kept his core support and the decline continues - he can only hold that support for so long but it would be nice to have limited the damage. What has happened to the club over the last eight years certainly wasn't worth sacrificing for those two titles.
-
I wouldn't be too surprised to hear Ferguson was the main target for Newcastle and not Bougherra.
-
Succinctly put. You make a great point that every Rangers supporter should dwell on.
-
That's one interpretation. For me, the point of the thread might be why Smith has been unwilling to provide this player with the opportunity to show what he can do - while continuing to select others in preference who (other than Boyd) have failed to impress. Why were we starting JCD in preference to Velicka - we already knew JCD was next to useless. It may be that, given his chance, Velicka would have achieved nothing anyway but this looks like yet another example of Smith's knee-jerk transfer dealing. Money spent, money wasted.
-
If Boyd has any sense, he will simply say nothing at all. Burley is a busted flush and won't be there long enough to trouble anyone. Boyd will play again for Scotland under another manager and he probably won't have to wait too long.
-
The one thing everyone agrees on is that the club needs change and selling Ferguson would meet that requirement. In fact, I'd willingly lose one of our better players in Bougherra if that meant we could start rebuilding our midfield at long last. I don't dislike Barry Ferguson but it's time we moved on. PS - the interesting question is whether it's Newcastle or Rangers who are adding Ferguson to the deal????
