Yeah, true indeed I suppose that wasn’t a good idea mentioning him 🤣 I just seen New York/ New Jersey and thought of Reyna. Amazing talent but your right he has had to many muscular problems and his last one putting him out for 8/9 months

Leeds have just been granted permission to upgrade there stadium to 56,000 https://apple.news/AfMWos3YrTaKerCEvfIF8DA

Well let’s hope with this new ownership / franchise knows how too work out maths properly and knows about buying and selling players at the right time whilst also developing our youth system and buying young players who are going give us a profit and not losses when the time comes to make us profit. They have the loyal fan base so that side of things will never dip in value let’s just keep our out goings low while maximising the income for the club by making Shrewd decisions both on and off the pitch, we get rid of the rotten apples and not just feel grateful for the odd few million pounds hear and there I want us to get back to the glory years of a successfully run football club we all know has been missing for many years now! Plus on the upside of things I want one of those bear hats you can add water/ juice( Irn-Bru ) at half time as the emptying the water into those cups is ridiculous, plus time you gulp all the liquid in the paper cups as for fear of the arse falling away your away to the 🚾 missing ten minutes of the second half.

Is that New Jersey/ New York border in the back of the Statue of Liberty, Reynas birth place I believe, let’s hope young Reyna comes along for the party as well since his Dortmund contract is coming to a end, let’s hope those connections puts us in a strong position.

Also have Rafa, Big Sam, Dyce in the mix.

Right or wrong? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgev0ygk8po Thoughts on this one and our next chapter as a football club moving forward in terms of recruiting young talent, will this restrict young players from moving on to benefit there careers like young Billie Gilmore did who is now thriving in Italy,

Reading something earlier today, i can’t find article too add link, it said if Athletic win the group we automatically get moved up one notch due to other teams league positions etc. found it ! https://apple.news/A7xiG9dOmS2K6mII5ZJ7EYw

AI generated, man generated, whichever way you see it, it’s a puzzle indeed. We are no different in solving our future or our direction in which we are going until the deal is done. Let’s hope there is some direction in which we are going and are not just in a line, as I see good things coming from Leeds with the new owners. I suppose it’s been similar with Newcastle and Ashley , get the rotten apples out and hopefully the new apples will be more successful. In my own opinion, I think we should be run by us, the fans, then we will know what’s going on via a voting system, but that ship has long sailed, so we need to rely financially driven decisions rather than just passion and pride. A puzzle is indeed an overrated example here; it’s more like Hellraiser's cube, and only those who are in the loop will actually know its true meaning and outcome.

It's a fascinating puzzle, isn't it? This question of "why?" hangs heavy in the air, especially given our history. You've laid out the landscape of potential motivations brilliantly, and I agree, the romantic notion of pure supporter ownership feels like a distant memory for most clubs at our level now. Your analysis of the three remaining possibilities – prestige (inflated ego), profit, or a hybrid – feels spot on. I also lean towards dismissing the "prestige" angle in this specific instance. As you say, these aren't individuals typically associated with that kind of image-building through sports ownership. That leaves the financial motivations, and your breakdown of those avenues is insightful. The Champion's League dream is certainly the one that ignites the fanbase, and you're right to question the level of investment required to make that a consistent reality. Gerrard's spending, while ultimately delivering the league title, didn't guarantee that golden ticket of Champions League qualification. The financial outlay for sustained success at that level is immense and carries significant risk. Your point about player development and sales being a more "attractive" option from a purely business perspective resonates strongly. The Strasbourg/Chelsea model you highlighted offers a stark illustration of how a multi-club ownership structure can prioritize the needs and financial well-being of the flagship club. The potential for Leeds' growth in the Premier League dwarfs the immediate financial rewards of even a successful Europa League campaign for us, making that pathway seem like the more logical focus for a purely profit-driven entity. And your final point about reducing overheads is a sobering but realistic possibility. Maintaining a competitive edge domestically to ensure European football while streamlining costs could be a sustainable, albeit less glamorous, strategy. It wouldn't necessarily bring the trophies and European nights fans crave, but it could be a pragmatic approach for owners focused on long-term stability and modest returns. Ultimately, without any direct communication from the potential owners, we're left to speculate and piece together the clues. Your analysis of the financial realities of Scottish football and the potential synergies (or lack thereof) with their existing club in England provides a compelling framework for understanding their possible intentions. It certainly gives food for thought beyond the initial excitement of a potential takeover. Let’s see what our future brings and may it happen soon as it can’t be any worse than it already is.

Not Rangers merchandise, but 😂 one from Kilmarnock or one to terrify the kids Greenock Morton 🤣

As tough as the decisions were on the two penalty appeals were, actions need to be taken to actually take into consideration of the player who feels he has been fouled or at least looked at by VAR, Especially with the amount of time they usually take up drawing there Picasso lines or looking into bad fouls. Let’s hope our next few games and the take over are positive results.NS 🔴⚪️🔵

Diomande has been pretty decent so far!

Let’s hope we give a good performance tonight, same effort as previous game and I’ll be feeling optimistic in the later stages of the game. NS

This article isn't Rangers it's Man utd fans moaning about the players sporting a new Golfing range, I know we also sell golf stuff but whats made your say “You've taken that too far” on merchandise? https://apple.news/AnfjpY3piRY6Ie5MAlqkJvw

2-1 Rangers FGS Dessers

I loved the bit at the end watching from my Tv and the fans reaction to the sheep supporters, also plus the fact I'm in the middle of the Cairngorms screaming from the top of my lungs when Hagi curls that in 🤣. There is no better feeling when you walk outside your house with the Gers jersey surrounded by sheep thinking they have won the day. 💪🔴⚪🔵 NS

Let's hope we get a win today, especially after the epic 10/9 man battle we did on Thursday, I don't fancy giving the title despite it being lost due to the fact we got beaten by the 🐏. Let's push it to the very last minute 🔴⚪🔵

2-1 FGS Danilo if not starting then Dessers

Am I still dreaming you better believe I am, luck indeed played a massive part in our draw last night as @JohnMc said in his lucky, lucky, lucky post I bet a few hundred thousand maybe millions of other fans wanted us to get pumped last night , What I took from the game highlights is that whatever was said on Monday with Barry and his home truths or the players as Kelly said double digits got off there chests done them a lot of good as they played as one , of course the proof is in the pudding come our next league match against the sheep but right now I’m proud of every player and Barry and the coaching team for sticking to their game plan. We don’t ask for much all we ask is each player gives their all. 💪🏻🔴⚪️🔵

Despite the brilliant performance tonight, I wonder what the priority will be given we play the sheep at the weekend. Let’s hope we don’t go back to bad habits. Is focus for Barry Europe or restoring some pride and giving us fans something to celebrate at least with a result against the sheep and boost their morale for next Thursday.

Brilliant mentality to have from Kelly! “ I just wanted to help the team, I don’t really care about me” 👏👏👏👏👏

Now that’s a performance we want to see at Ibrox despite being down to 10 men. The attitude and work rate was impressive. We don’t ask for much apart from your all and I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who thought that was there all 💪🏻🔴⚪️🔵 NS
