Bears

can we get offical numbers of each of the organisations that are trying to shape the future of our club please?

All nice words, and encouraging. I'll wait till the fat lady sings though

I agree with it but it won't happen. Falkirk and their fans were very anti Rangers during al this yet we got more tickets for their ground than the home fans and sold it out.

It's pointless and all it's going to do is cause friction amongst the fans.

Btw... I do think the stars should be somewhere on our shirt because we earned them, but I prefer if they aren't above the crest because the crest looks much better without them.

Yeah. maybe on the back of the neck or the lower back. I feel it poisons out amazing crest. We were perfectly correct to have them the season after we got the world record, but not now

stars are for league wins not ec.

No shit Sherlock

I wish we'd get rid of the 5 stars. I actually find them a bit embarrassing. The only stars that should be above a crest is if you with the CL.

The Rangers Chelsea connection came from the friendly and fund raiser for the Bradford fire when we played them down there.

Fans mixed together and got on well and it went from there.......

Heh I'm 25 and think twitter is a joke tbh. Can land you in bother so can any social outlet nowadays.

I used to think like that till I learned how to use and manipulate it. You get all information for Rangers, general football and wider normal news on there once you know who to follow

I think it's a great tool

Raman is normally pretty quick to re tweet any racist tweets he gets. I didn't see him do it the other night

If he had a genuine serious threat he wouldn't have told us as that then alerts that bad guy that they're onto him

It's damage limitation but the prick and we are the deflection

The RST will not be folding. Neither will we be contacting the Executive Admin Assistant to beg to be in their gang. As Bluedell pointed out, our Board is elected by our members. I wonder how many people at the meeting could say the same.

You missed my point.

It's a hypothetical situation. If the RST was to disappear, what then?

How do we get shares?

What of the RST folded?

How would we buy shares then?

I'm obviously clueless about shares in football teams

I know his family very well. He's a good guy. A QPR fan

I totally understand this decision. Found Not Guilty in a court of law yet the FA are still going after him. Don't get me wrong, he's a horrible human being but he's bein hung out to dry here.

Totally. Chelsea are my English team, JT is a great player but a lump of Hamster shit as a person

As others say its a great article

This is a mess and is why we can never have fans running the club. I cringed all the way through this post as it serves our hatters a plate full of goodies.

Aside from that I do strongly feel that Mark Dingwall removing himself from anything to do with Rangers other than a fan would help the situation

I know he's a nice guy, I know he's done well through this horrible period, but he DOES cause huge division in the support. If he wasn't there then that would take out one huge problem.

I do know Gersnet don't like these kind of posts, but as a fan base, to progress, we need to iron out problems ASAP. MD is a problem no matter how you try and dress it up.

We do need one united umbrella, but this Rangers Unite mob are not the people who should be in any position of power

I could sign that any day mate. The more we see the likes of the young skillful lads the better we will look on Wednesday.

I genuinely can't think of one reason not to go at them with the young lads.

"If it works don't fix it"

This is a statement that I live by professionally and personally.

Yesterday's first half was abysmal. The stat I read was there was 15 long balls into Jig. Not good enough. We want football! We want two proper front men playing!! Football is played on the deck, not in the air.

In the second half the gaffer brought on Fraiser Aird who played an absolute blinder and Robbie Crawford scored with one of his first touches of the game.

There's absolutely no reason why we should not start with the same team playing the same tactical football against Motherwell.

We are the underdog in that game, make no mistake about it, so why not go for it from the off. Let the Scottish footballing public know what we are about, show them why we are Rangers, why we can still beat the big boys.

These are the games I have been dying for. I personally don't want any SPL team to fold, I want to come back and beat them as that is the best "V" sign we can give them IMO.

The problem is Ally will be scared of a humping on weds night, and it could very well happen as our defence is bad. But they say the best kind of defence is attack so why not take it to Motherwell. Kept the ball in their half?

My own opinion is Ally is going to set us up as a very defence minded team. He's lucky as he can say,"well they're an SPL team, we're third division, I have to take that into account"

I don't believe that and I don't believe in the crap about being a new team as I've said a few times on here. These guys train together 5-6 days a week for hours. They should know each other inside out by now.

The pressure is on Ally, but with the second half performance and the fact Motherwell are an SPL team he has relived some of the pressure off himself.

I really hope I'm wrong and that Ally goes for it on weds night as I believe the Rangers support will be right behind him if he sets up an attack minded Rangers, even if we loose he will have respect for having a go. He'll gain more respect than setting up a defence minded team and going out 1-0 that's for sure.

We CAN beat Motherwell, we have the players to do it.

Let's hope the Gaffer gives us a nit to remember with our first SPL scalp

What a brilliant thread. Keep it up gents

i meant financially and staturely if thats even a word. haha the biggest and best clubs in general have adidas and nike. we have had the cheap and nasty option since going diadora. adidas will be a sign to me anyway that our owners mean business.

Diadora didn't make our strip. Rangers made it themselves. Diadora were a sponsor

I just cant make up my mind about this guy.....one day I'm thinking " he could be the real deal" and the next I'm really stressing thinking about the whole set up.

Same here I still don't trust him at all

The one but that irked me was "no one can say I've not tried"

I broke this down from the Rangers Podcast twitter timeline. This has nothing to do with me I only simplified it for people to read on FB and here

I asked them first if I could do this, which is good manners IMO

Hereâ??s a transcript from what Charles Green and Imran have told the Toronto Rangers supporters club.

This information comes from the Rangers Podcast twitter timeline. @WATPPodcast

The first part is the essential moments that CG talked about. Some HUGE news in here

13. Brain K might have had a piece of paper, but we had a document signed in the presence of lawyers

15. CVA was tabled at £8.5M, Newco route was £5.5M

16. He explained the investor structure. Arif and Mike Ashley mentioned

30. He will NOT bow to Mob rule

32. Massive brand opportunities in America. Weâ??ve been in talks with the Dallas Cowboys about commercial partnership

33. Weâ??re going with Adidas next year. Adidas have said they lost RM and Liverpool so Rangers will be the biggest club they have

This info comes from @WATPPodcast

Some really exciting points there.

McInnes is a fair shout. I just feel we need an old head right. Ow that k laws the game.

DM would be a gamble, as would any manager, but I think JC would be a safe bet and would get us through the leagues

He wouldn't miss and not the wall with the under achievers

Well that was embarrassing. It's up there with our worst results ever.

I do not like saying what i'm going to say next, but i make no apology for it.

Ally is the worst manager Rangers have ever had now, statistics prove this. That is such a sad thing to type and read.

I don't need to go over what he's done for us this last 18 months. He's been amzing.

But the time for sentiment has gone.

We have a major problem in our coaching staff, that is Ally, Durant and McDowel.

For the record i don't want them sacked.......yet. But they have a tiny space of time to fix it. We should never ever play one man up front at our home and play the long ball!!!

If it was any other manager i, and 90% of you reading this would be wanting his resignation this morning. But because Ally who he is he get a tiny bit of leeway

Can anyone give me one solid reason as to why we do this home or away ?

We have a pool of players at our club that would competing in the SPL with the right manager.

I'm lost to be honest, gutted and have major conflicts going on between my heart and my head. My heart it wining the battle right now but i know my head is right, Ally isn't good enough, which is one of the hardest things i have ever had to type online. I hate saying it but it's all there in black and white.

Where do we go from here? I personally would look towards Jimmy Calderwood. He's a Bear and knows how to handle the lower league and get results. Naturally some reading this will want a far more prestigious name, but unfortunately we have three years in the wilderness in front of us which takes away a lot of the attraction to manage us. Calderwood would jump at the chance IMO and would do well.

Now, i know this will cause arguments.

So don't bother with the "get behind the team" crap, No Bear i know has ever done anything but get behind the team. The simple fact is we are acutely underachieving with the tools we have to won games easily.

We all know what Ally has done, he will never be forgotten as a player our as our anchor during this horrible time. But the proof's in the pudding, he's not manager material i'm afraid.
