Dont worry about the lack of announcement or movement on the manager. You can spend 50 on a print of our record defeat. https://rangers.arenaimagestore.com/products/30x11-rangers-v-liverpool-panoramic-framed-print

They rubbished the press conference (imagine Gio and Ross Wilson sitting in front of the press announcing he is gone), never mentioned no announcement or statement IIRC

Agree that Gerrard's reluctance to let us sell players has held us back, perhaps he knew he'd be leaving before these problems came to a head and thus didn't really care about the results of his action. I suppose that's why its important to have a DoF who can think strategically rather than short term players wise. At least that's the idea. And that's why we should have sold Kamara in the summer. That's why we should have replaced Dr Waller. We should have some on the coaching staff to support the current management team rather than giving the current team a full loadout of coaches. If our transfer windows haven't proven to be good then the recruitment staff should be accountable. The DoF should do this but there are gaps there. There is truth to this, but to quote a great Eddie Murphy sketch 'what have you done for me lately'. Both Gio and the board have delivered in the past. There can be no argument. However this does not mean they are beyond criticism for where we find ourselves now. Imagine applying that logic to a player? Well looks like we do hence we still have the likes of Steve Davis and Allan McGregor playing for us. This is also true and for everything this board have done for us off the park and financially, improved our youth setup, our woman's setup. All fantastic. There have been issues with the Ange homecoming tour and surrounding PR, the public spats with SD and Cinch. But they have succeeded in getting us on a good footing financially. However when it comes to on the field decisions they have proven to been inactive when needed and without inspiration, especially when it comes to managerial appointments. Gerrard being the exception but that was also close to not working out if you recall the pre covid collapse. The way Murty was left in the firing line for so long also doesn't sit right with me, he should have been removed long before he was. Communication from the board and the lack of a figurehead for the club is big issue. That's not me being ungrateful. I'm trying to point out things that I think can be improved. I dont demand the likes of Park and Bennet get out of the club if they dont want to be that figurehead, they can appoint a David Holmes type to do it for them and protect thier investment in the club.

I still feel like the manager and players expected reinforcements when we qualified for the CL. When nothing came in it would affect confidence among the squad. I'm speculating here obviously but we have all seen first hand the lack of comms from the top down at this club. But yes the players could have done more. And the signs of decent among the squad are rife. They have checked out. I see Helander has had an article in the Glasgow Times 'Slamming' rumours about his fitness. Well, perhaps if the club went public about his injury and set expectations there wouldn't be any rumours? Just a thought.

We dont need to we are not on the stock market

They would just make a statement. Hopefully the chap on twitter is correct, if not he should get pelters from bears for getting peoples hopes up to punt his Rangers da podcast no one cares about.

He wont come he fell out with the board with Gerrard & co

Kevin Clancy is a cheat.

Judging the manager for his past financial achievements will only hinder future financial possibilities.

They won’t sack him. They are delusional. They will have a circle jerk over the accounts and NEH and all good.

Good news. A step in the right direction. Now, will they actually face the music over this or will the prosecution be dropped/deliberately sabotaged. Time will tell.

No one said it did 🤦‍♀️

Ah ok, yes my point was as you state that tactics/training/gameplan are at fault @MacK1950

?

As an aside Matondo had a poor game last night, but I still think there is something there with him. If Kent who is a proven good player struggles, just about every player we play at RW struggles, then perhaps it isn't the players that is the problem. Would like to see more of him on the left cutting in. But if Kent returns to form that's unlikely in the short term.

King deserves a shoutout for his distribution yesterday IMO. Some of his long diagonals to Kent in particular were brilliant.

It only reinforced what we have all been thinking. No playing style, no game plan. Rely on individual moments of brilliance to make things happen. Set pieces are meek. Defending looks dodgy.

Yes. Lets hope he is fit for Saturday.

Big 3 points. Get the floaty out swinging corners in the bin ASAP please. They dont work.

Kent, dispite starting poorly kept going and won us the game with a bit of aggressive running, taking on some men and passing the ball forward.

Morelos has been dreadful tonight. All over the place.

Good goal Tillman. Great play by Kent in the buildup.

We have reverted to the pointless crossing to one guy in the box who keeps getting beaten in the air again I see.
