Aye, he knew.

Why are Leeds even sacking Farke btw? Didn't he just get them promoted?

Injury suffered against Athletic will keep him out beyond the end of the season. Confirmed by Ferguson at today's PC.

Yeah, fake. Not the new kit.

If I remember right, this is a fan made mock up from when the Umbro rumours came about. Not the new home kit.

Was just about to say, we're going to be linked with all sorts. Get the transfer forum on the go 😂

I want Muscat. The overwhelming attacking football approach works up here. Evidenced already by the fat gravy licker.

Should take anyone's dual ownership fears or whatever is happening at Leeds right off the table. There in black and white, it is not the 49ers taking over us, it's a consortium which they are part of.

Rangers confirm to Sky Sports talks are productive regarding pending takeover.

Actually thinking on this, I think you'd need to be a lunatic not to be optimistic, given the current state of the club.

I'm optimistic, guess I'm a lunatic 😂

Need to work out who you support by the sounds of it.

Until Barry goes, and then Keith loses his source.

Good lawyer would argue I've not commented on anyone's appearance there, just asked who the obviously under the influence person is that's decided to rattle out a selfie with our new top. Besides, my selfie isn't that interesting bud.

Btw, the full photo is more fun... Who the fucks the ripping out their nut model 😂😂

Very Umbro looking.

Only if you were following the Scottish Media tbh, typical scaremongering ah the deal might be falling through because of Leeds staying etc, never had any bearing. Our ownership group is structured in a way, that although some of the same faces from Leeds & 49ers are involved, it's flagged by Cavenagh and his National Health whatever it was company. American media has been better to read for staying informed on this. Scottish media even tried to drum up that it all banked on the Easdales too for example. All nonsense. Just enjoy what's about to happen folks.

People are focusing on Leeds far too much, it's been said multiple times, but Cavenagh is his own man and not involved with the 49ers or Leeds, while 49ers enterprise are involved with Cavenagh, it's not cut and dry that us and Leeds are owned by the same group. For Rangers, we need to be in Europe and have a working player model while being successful. That's it. That's the big complicated plan.

It's a problem that affects most businesses in the world at the moment, certainly within the western world anyway. Too many overhead opinions and decisions, when in reality it could all be streamlined down to a very simplistic approach, which has been said by Cammy, myself, and even you there. Putting the right people in, having the right foundations etc. While you say we're impatient, we were all prepared in 2012 for a proper rebuild, using the youth and the academy to bring us back to the top with young lads that would be sellable assets or stellar talents for the Prem by then, when the spivs failed, we were patient again as Dave King and Co promised to rebuild us properly, but this is where poor ownership comes to the fore, and nullifies the fault of the supporters - you said it yourself there, they frontloaded us, paying over the odds, desperately trying to stop that one thing, instead of building us up properly. We've been patient. We're passed that with the incumbents, they have ruined it all. To the point we're waiting on a takeover. King&Co are as much spivs as Green, Ashley, Letham etc before them.

So you think we should wake up, smell the coffee, and accept mediocrity? That we should just be happy we exist? Then what's the bloody point mate? Our expectations of challenging for this league aren't farsighted, take on board for example what @der Berliner just said - the gulf hasn't been this massive chasm, and most seasons its us being our own worst enemy that has cost us. You might be happy to be run of the mill just existing, I and many others are not. Anyone taking on this football club has to realise success is expected, and competent able owners would be able to deliver that without spending an exorbitant amount of money. We aren't to blame in anyway. Dave King, The Parks, Bisgrove, Specky Robertson etc, all contributed in turning us into a shit show.

I think we all know the "good old days" are long gone, we're certainly not going to be signing Gascoignes or Laudrups. But I think at minimal we expect our football club to be run properly, and actually properly looked after i.e giving the football department the proper foundations and structures that it needs to succeed. Spending within our means etc isn't a problem, so long as we're still successful and resourceful in other ways, actually having a player trading model that works for instance.

Indeed. Imagine wanting the thing you're most passionate about to succeed and do well! What bastards we are, making them run our club like an amateur outfit!! He certainly seems to hold us in the same contempt!
