AFAIK neither GVB or MB will get any severance as they were both sacked within the first 12 months 

Its a fixed term contract, not like a standard contract of permanent employment that your average Joe will get.

They will be entitled to payment up till the end of their contractual period, unless there is a clause (which there wont be) or they come to an agreement to end it early, most likely if they get offered another job.

We beat Real Betis. I think we can get through this group with the right manager. But I agree that it has to be a very good manager. No project will get us through this.

I dont think you can coach pace and our team has none.

Our players are for the most part, shit. 

Would be as well taking our time over the manager appointment.

New manager is gonna be able to do fuck all until some of the better players are back and even when he can trade his own.

Taking over soon will just result in him having a horror start and risking the fans turning on him.

Butland, Raskin, Wright and Sima can stay on. The rest might as well stay in the dressing room. Scott Wright might even be our best player in the first half, it’s that bad. 

Raskin and Sima were better than Wright, but pretty much agree.

We genuinely need a clear out of some of these players.

Barisic, Lundstrum, Dessers, Lammers are hopeless. Just not good enough at all.

Tav and Goldson are not priorities to leave, but we have to start phasing them out.

Wright is hopeless, but at least is scottish registered.

Butland, Raskin, Sima and at a push, Davies are the only ones who are actually offering much.

Lammers on a good day at least offers to beat 4 defenders before passing it back to Goldson.

Dessers, is having one of his best games for Rangers tonight and I would rate it about 2/10.

He is slow, cant hold the ball up, hopeless in the air and panics a bit under pressure.

Genuinely starting to look like he is just hiding by staying next to his defender takin gout the option to pass to him. He is hardly making runs off his shoulder since his disallowed goal.

The team is published on the match thread.

Cheers! Thought this was the match thread! Still getting my head round this place.

No team news yet?

Muscat for me.

Probably a terrible shout, but at least I think he plays attacking football, so if it goes wrong, it will go wrong in an entertaining fashion.

Same goes for if any of the other managers are attacking.

Just cannot be doing with another slow patient build up style.

Not liking the sound of this.

Would definitely take a punt on Muscat before a punt on Lampard.

Will get behind whoever they appoint, but really unsure about this call if this is what they are indeed inclined to do.

Great guy, hope he does well.

Helped out at one of his charity events for the Second Chance Foundation and had a chat with him, really down to earth.

No idea how he will do with us, but top bloke regardless.

It's not a good idea (at Rangers) to play youngsters when the team isn't performing well.  

Moans and abuse from the crowd could devastate them.

Aye of course - I'd be talking about Devine, King, Lowry, Rice etc.

 

I think most fans would support the new gaffer if Tav was rotated with Devine this season to phase him out. He hasn't put a foot wrong really when he's played and a few of them have been at left back.

 

The quality of Scottish players in the league and gettable talents abroad is a bigger question granted but hopefully in the next few years we won't pass up talents like Doig, Stewart, Nisbet, Ferguson etc. Add in a couple of academy players and you've got a good core of good Scottish players in the club.

 

Hypothetically.

 

Some will disagree and say those players aren't good enough but let's be honest, they're better than what we have now.

To be honest, it sounds all good and promising, but fast forward a couple of weeks and the team filled with guys like Devine and Rice getting scudded would have the fans in an uproar.

We are dreadful as a club for actually blooding youths, but we also cant afford to just start going crazy with it.

Guys like Sterling will no doubt be quite a bit ahead of folk like Devine, and it should be him who we are giving the shot to first.

I know this is a bit of an old da gripe but I hope the next manager coming in bloods youngster's and plays with a core of Scottish players.

 

We're in a position, contrary to popular belief or at least imo, that we can because of how dominant we are (or should be) game to game.

 

Young players values aren't going to drop by playing them week to week and there is something about having a core group of Scottish (NI as well tbf) players in the dressing room - it's always been the way with Rangers up until Warburton and then Gerrard.

 

We need to get back to that.

 

Not fussed whether the manager has connections or is Scottish mind.

Most of our young players will likely not be good enough though. Its just the reality of it.

Most of our youth prospects will never even reach the heights of nailing down a starting slot for someone like Motherwell or St Mirren.

Sure, if there are one or two outstanding prospects, say Rice, Lovelace and King, give them more game time. The lesser quality ones though, its just going to be daft to try and field a team full of them, we will get absolute doings that will make Saturday look good.

End of Beale's reign.

Poor signings and a terrible injury record is the reason.

Dessers is genuinely awful.

Just dont see what Dessers is offering.

Think we should just give Lovelace some game time. Unless he comes on and starts scoring own goals, I dont think he can do much worse.

Christ is that mess still on the go. I assumed anyone with any sense abandoned that ship long ago.

Still a few good folk on there, but it's dying in it's arse to be honest.

Sad to have left without getting to say bye to some of the posters.

Hope whatever changes they are making turns out for the good as the forum. They offer allot of support for people when they are going through difficult times.

Don't agree with their decision to ban me, but no hard feelings on that front. Their call at the end of the day.

Apparently one of the mods claiming I was banned for being homophobic is disappointing to hear though as that's just blatantly untrue. Doesn't reflect well on them.

Welcome. I haven't been on RM for many years, after it went a bit mental and the majority seemed to be supporting the spivs. 

Aye, it's went a bit crazy on there.

Like the guy on here pretending to be me.

Ridvan for me.

His goal topped off a good performance.

He was also very good defensively though. Mopped up across the back line a good few times.

Not overly confident for this one.

Don't think many of our starters will be fit for it.

If we do get some bodies back, my hopes will go up a bit.

I agree! He has pace and scores some beautiful goals). I was thinking he's probably our best signing of the summer, behind Butland, at least thus far. 

Think Dowell is going to go on to establish himself as a really good player for us.

Thought he had his best game last night but I wouldn’t be wanting him long term, just don’t think he offers enough.

 

Just joined here after being banned from the shambles that is rangersmedia, hope to get to know you all 👍🏻

I actually agree.

Will give you a like when I figure out how to work this forum.
