Don't think anyone has the answer. Some blaming manager, some blaming Wilson, some blaming players, some blaming the board, some blaming some / all of the above. 

 

Something not right tho, that's for sure. 

All of the above gets my vote.

Agreed, but who specifically. 

 

Is it a Dyche? Is it someone in SPL? Is it the next SG? Is it someone from left field (Pedro!). 

 

It's all fine say replace him, but who with? 

We let the best option leave as part of a job lot.

Rank, so far. 

I wonder what new depth they will plumb in the second installment.

The Marianas Trench I fear.

Tis scary just how far out of our depth we are.

Rangers 3 - 2 Ajax

 

FGS - Tavernier 

After today's stupendous display why not go along to Ibrox on Tuesday to watch Rangers rout Ajax, ah it's sold out you say!

 

We have a few spares in the Govan Rear section 5 level with the centre circle, can be configured to suit as adult, concessions or juveniles and can seat multiples together or just singles. All face value.

You'd think they'd address the boardroom concerns closer to home first rather than lecture others.

 

Perhaps they view their members to be an irrelevant inconvenience in govetnance matters.

 

Just another cheap publicity stunt.

 

Do they not realise they have next to zero credibility with the average Rangers fan?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tis only a Poundland version compared to the Harrods ones elsewhere.

 

Better than nothing but should be better.

Don't think so, mate. That was funded by bank overdraft, secured on the club's property (stadium and Albion).

Was'nt Murray's purchase of us mainly simply a case of him taking over the overdraft rather than a cash purchase?

So should supports groups ( one in particular) be buying his shares?

They should be investing directly in Rangers surely? 

The handball was never a penalty, his arms were by his side he didn't make his body intentionally bigger and in any case the ball came off his own foot.

I note it being reported elsewhere that our erstwhile Chairman threatened to put us into adminstration unless his loan was repaid, the one with tge 8% coupon iirc.

 

I'm sure he had the clubs best interests at heart though.

For what it's worth, I don't think King is the answer either, but as leader of our club he is head and shoulders above the likes of Park(s) and Robertson. 

 

I don't have the answers, but I know if we are to be "best in class" then we'll never reach that under the guidance of current board. 

 

The AGM will be interesting- wonder what hard-hitting questions will be allowed to be asked / answered. 

Whilst Kings public utterances are certainly more consumer friendly a look under under the bonnet may result in a different conclusion.

 

Personally I'd opt a strong well known high profile person from the business or peferably political spheres. As much as it grates the Fritzl doppelganger appointing Dr Death was an extremely astute piece of business.

 

Like you I'd love an open and frank AGM but such beasts don't appear to exist anywhere nowadays.

I probably didn't explain the comparison correctly. 

 

I knew Murrays reign would end in tears, he gambled and lost. 

 

The current board aren't gambling, which is correct (although the majority of the fanbase would like them to).

 

The comparison I was making is I fear for Rangers today as the current board aren't what we need to take us forward and their reign will end in tears or see us continually being 2nd best in a two horse race.

 

 

I get what you're saying I really do. However I view the current Board as just another stage of our recovery I don't view them as permanent fixtures, they like players should be viewed as organic constantly changing in a sort of evolution rather an endless revolutions.

 

Obviously the pandemic and it's consequences drastically altered what would have been the Boards plans (I concede the same applies to all clubs). I think part of the current anti Board sentiment can be laid at their own door as it was never fully explained just how big a mess the club was in every single department something that goes back to the days of our old friend Murray. That's not an excuse for the current Boards shortcomings however I think we can all agree compared to their predecessors they're relatively minor and certainly don't threaten the clubs very existance like the 3 previous regimes.

 

I'm inclined to lean towards better the devil you know for now, change will come in the Boardroom it's foolish to argue otherwise but surely we need to make sure the baton is passed on to the right people as we all know the consequences of what can unfold.

 

I share the same frustrations as everyone else at our regression under GvB which is undoubtedly rolling towards the inevitable conclussion. What I don't share is the clamour for return of King the notion of him wanting to invest more in Rangers is hilarious or the belief that there's a sugar daddy willing to pump £m's into a Scottish club or even that some consortium of investors led by Ms Fox will lead us to glory. I suspect you feel pretty much the same.

 

I honestly think that the covid crap not occured the Boardroom would indeed have a different complexion that it currently has but by the same token I'm grateful that they didn't all bugger off and try and get their money back and even of them stayed and dug deep just yo kerp us going.

 

I'm certain your wish for change will be fulfilled at what rate that change will arrive I honestly don't have a clue but it will.

Tillman putting in a lot more effort than most so far today.

 

Anyone still labouring under the illusion the manager still carries the dressing room?

My eyes are burning this us excruciating.

Possibly. 

 

I am mixing it in with the worrying injury record too. 

I've been concerned for a while now about our medical side esoecially in regards to recovery times which appear to be frankly ridiculous.

A point for the Yankophiles to ponder for every John Henry there's a Gillet and Hicks!

 

Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it.

We need a new fitness coach. 

 

And a set-piece coach. 

 

And a new coach. 

I'm struggling to fathom whether its actual fitness levels or players that simply can't be arsed to play for the manager, probably a but of both. Either should be cause for alarm.

We'd be as well with Liz Truss in the dugout. 

 

This cannot continue much longer it's utterly excruciating. 

Just wtf was that?
