RANGERRAB

He mis-managed us . You can say that again. We were awful to watch with little or no evidence of tactics or preparation for games .He got away with it in the bottom two part time divisions but got found out in the fulltime Championship. Not only that he took advantage of the situation at Rangers at the time. The old board were saving their own skins & weren't going to rid off him. He knew that and went on far too long and by the time he resigned we were miles off the top spot in the Championship to get automatic promotion. We then had to try to get promotion via playoffs and that was difficult if not impossible for McCall with the squad McCoist had left behind. And to finally rub salt into the wounds Rangers had to continue pay him a years salary from the exorbitant contract he had and he,allegedly, wouldnt agree to a settlement with King. I'd never say never to McCoist returning to watch Rangers at ibrox but at the moment I'd suggest he stays away

Let's all give Dundee Hibernian a wave as we pass them on the way up as they go on the way down.

The meticulous planning is there for all to see. I just wonder how the yahoos will react. Will they keep Ronny the Viking or look elsewhere? At long last Rangers look like we are going places run by the right people on and off the park. From a football perspective It is really is such a pity we had to waste three and a half years under the McCoist fiasco. Belatedly we now resemble a 21st century team on the park and will improve further next season I'm sure

Don't you mean Peter McGuire?

And which yahoo supporter amongst the mhedia pondlife wrote that ian?

I still find it difficult to believe they've got a wage bill of £24m. Since we got chucked out the then SPL they've been constantly selling off their best players and replacing them with cheaper replacements no doubt on much less wages. I say again that our first team squad will be smaller than previous years hence its wage bill will be smaller than previous. Won't that be taken into account regards ST renewal prices?

I'm in SJ rear and this season I think I paid just under £500 for myself & about £100 for my 14 year old son. I think the advantage of the SJ stand is that my son gets a reduced price ticket up to 18 whereas in the Copland & Broomloan he only gets that up to 16.

He wasn't needed. Why did you's sign him?

Maybe this will be the start of Desmond's financial past. Hope the IFSC will be next

We all want to see Rangers attract the best possible players and to do that we all realise funds need to be raised via ST's but I think we will soon become accustomed to Rangers operating with a much smaller first team squad than in years gone by. MW has gone on record I believe as saying he wants a first team squad of around 20 and no more than 25.That will certainly mean a much reduced wage bill compared to previous years.

I think 10 percent would be too much IMO

Not long after he'd left Rangers and gone to Liverpool, Souness gave an interview in which he talked about Rangers & his time in Scottish football as Rangers manager. He made the point that he felt there were many people in Scottish football who simply didn't want to see Rangers doing well. At the time I never gave it much thought but perhaps today a lot of us can understand better what he was on about. Maybe the next generation of mhedia pondlife we now have is much worse than Souness had but their aims & motives seem to remain the same don't they?

can you maybe elaborate for a numpty like me?

OK I apologise

Strange how after selling Rangers to Whyte in May2011 LBG continued to fund MIH.

It will be up to the Rangers board to decide whether to invite McCoist . If it's true he rejected DaveKing's offer to settle his exorbitant contract after he resigned then I'd say the Rangers board may well not wish to invite him

And IIRC their first goal which McDonald scored was a mile offside? I remember Terry Butcher having a go at the linesman for failing to spot the offside. And I recall in the second half a 'tackle' by vinegar of castlemilk which should have been a straight red which went unpunished

Was he the referee in the game we lost 3-2 that season at the San Giro?

that's what I thought too

It wasn't just the mhedia they controlled was it?

What is important is not how much is spent but that we strengthen in areas of the team which need to be strengthened. For example, at least one striker and a defensive MF player are musts. We may need to look at the FB positions because had Wallace or Tavernier got a lengthy injury this season there were no obvious FB replacements were there? There's no point in simply going out & buying for the sake of it. As Graeme Souness once said as Rangers manager that when you buy a player you must always be sure he's better than the one he's replacing.Do that & we won't be far away next season

It will be interesting to see who is their manager next season. I don't think it will be Deila.

Both Doncaster & especially Rhegan should have been sacked after we got voted out the SPL in 2012.

I'd imagine the yahoos will need to get rid off players before they add to their squad. That might not be so easy for high earners not out of contract.

Just like every broadcast of theirs when it's about Rangers
