That example above and several others like it, is why Spence's resignation has not been contested, and why he has engaged Mad Phil. Interestingly, long time friend and fellow Rangers hater, Stuart Cosgrove offered an illuminating comment on the reconstruction affair, "Jim has allowed himself to be placed naked on Stephen Thompson's lap and fed peeled grapes". "

That is a mental image I could of lived without thinking about!

Without trying to sir things up, I wonder what Ally Mccoist thinks? His idea was to trust old pros and shoehorn them in, thinking their experience would outshine the amateurs. I wonder if he's sitting at home going, "warburton, your wrong!, and there's going to be egg on your face"!

We could have got 25 easy for the players we lost for free. Any analysis has to allow for that.

Maybe , The problem is that we were in distress at that point. If those players had stayed, there is no way we would of got top dollar. We would of been lucky to get a quarter of there worth! Any manager or chairman out there with a bit of savvy would just need to make a bid and test our metal. If the bank wouldnt force us to sell them, then the agent and player would! probably siting , playing in a more competitive league or their international career!

What? no afternoon golf? whats that all about??

Maybe I am just being a bit dim but I struggle to understand why a guy like Ashley with his wealth and numerous other interests, considers it worthwhile involving himself with Rangers and the hassle. Suppose he might consider the hassle and conflict to be a source of amusement.

Quite simply he got stiffed. In his eyes he saw a chance to make some easy money, what he didn't take into consideration is the resolve of the fans. He doesn't like that and probably wants make us pay one way or another!

Gonnae make it a bit more obvious?

I second that

normally when they say "a source close to" that means they are just making it up!

What is the significance of today in this respect?

A good day to bury bad news?

I was just thinking how everything is quiet these days! a far cry from the last few years when you'd wake up with dread as to what you would find was happening with our club. Hopefully King will get his approval and we can get on with it. i'm looking forward to a summer of transfer rumours like the good old days

it all felt a wee bit tame. i was kind of hoping there would be a bit more depth. Newcastle & Rangers got a bit of a mention but there didnt seem to be much said closing businesses and buying them back minus the their debt. or sending lorrys up to clear out warehouse and not bother giving the staff notice they were being sacked!

So you don't ask the SFA to submit an application for special dispensation to UEFA?

doesn't give an option for that! Sega probably looked at the Scottish set up and its politics and went "bugger that"!

Yeah it'll be fine. When I play football manager, I always win the Scottish cup (this season). I then get told I will not be allowed into Europe because of the accounts rule. however the season after (when I win the treble of course). I am allowed into Europe So there you have it! if football manger says you can then you can

Apparently we wanted Allan but for one reason or another it never happened.

It was probably the Benny Hill Theme Tune, that was playing in the back ground, that put him off!

I think anyone who came in as manager for us at this stage in the game were on to a hiding for nothing. McCall/Rangers have said that some of them if they want to earn new contracts and continue playing for us need to step up to the plate,. They have once again failed to do this. We then get another empty sound bite (mcculloch/boyd) saying we know we’re pish but we can improve. As each game is played and the count down to the end of season gathers pace, we know that’s not true! I don’t know what’s wrong with us.

Is it too much money, to the point that the hunger has gone?

Is it personalities clashing that stops them playing with any fluidity?

Is it a mental thing.. have they lost that desire that made them professionals to beging with?

Certainly the fitness levels are shocking. The Ally McCoist plan that seen us rise through two divisions, seemed to be let the other team run themselves into the ground, and we’ll take them in the later part of the game. No doubt other teams cottoned on to our plan but we should of still had enough about us to see them off.

For me, McCall has arrived too late(quite happy to be proved wrong) in the day. If he’s there for the new season then he should be given time. He’s worked on a very tight budget before and has achieved results.

For the McCulloch thing, I wonder why he keeps getting a game when we can all see he’s not up to it. Does he galvanise and marshal the troops that well, that to drop him would mean even poorer performances, who knows!

I said yesterday I'd be surprised if McCall accepted a short term contract (without certain stipulations such as extension if we're promoted). That stands.

 

While I wouldn't be against his appointment until the end of the season, I don't want him for longer. On the face of it, McCall did a good job at Motherwell but many 'Well fans weren't completely convinced and some say he (and the lass Dempster) left the squad/club in a mess because of their short term outlook.

 

Just goes to show how difficult a decision this is.

wasn't that more down to motherwell as whole continuously slashing the budget to the point McCall couldn't do anything to stop the rot?

Well if King is wanting to change how things are run e.g. Director of Football, followed by a head coach and McCall is willing to work in that scenario, then why not? (assuming he does a good job).

You know, he should release a book, with all these blogs.. naturally it should be in fiction section, possibly under Humour!

The board need to bring in the right replacement manager asap.

They cant!! That's logical thinking and they don't do that!

and they've got the cheek to complain about King's issues with the Tax Authorities in SA!

You beat me to the punch line! i'm starting to believe that this mob read a lady-bird book on the art of trying to pull a fast one! its pretty ludicrous for them not to thinks we cant see through them!

Aye, come back when your 31 or 32.. we'll be interested then!

Plus if he said that the sfa would have him!

poor Dalglish, no doubt he will be labelled a traitor or out of touch by the great unwashed!

That could be true in the long term of things, however in the short term, this team need to buck up their ideas. I get sick of the likes of McCulloch and co saying "we haven't played our best, we owe the fans, we owe the manager etc. Maybe it needs someone like Gattuso with his passion & his work rate to whip this mob into some sort of shape and get things moving again!

I think Konterman's line summed up perfectly!

“It is a nice try but no chance. It is in the heart of the people and that won’t change".

is that real?
