RANGERRAB

things have changed mate. There's two clubs now teetering on the brink(Dunfermline & Hertz) and according to Leggat, Motherwell are surviving to the end of the season on the Supporters Trust's overdraft (not the account, the overdraft). Regards reconstruction Longmuir has yet to see the SKY deal Doncaster & Liewell signed last summer. Why won't they show him it ? I suspect we'll find out soon enough when it emerges a rather large section of the payment due at the end of this season is dependent on viewing figures which have bombed with us out of the top division. That's why I think we'll be back sooner rather than later. How it'll be done is the real issue

a bit earlier than those,but don't forget we got something like £8.5m for Gio Van Bronckhorst

love to see it happen but have my doubts. The English don't need us. Only possible option would be to try & join the Beneliga if it gets off the ground but it's a long shot I'd admit

it will all come down to money. Without us in the top division there's not enough of it to go round. Sponsors & TV companies won't pay as much if at all. They need us back. It's how we get there and our conditions on agreement that's what this is all about

only thing you forgot mate was Regan & Doncaster's resignations along with all those in the 5way agreement last summer. As for d) that will be interesting. Not sure they've still got that money. If not payable to newco then I'd imagine BDO will pursue it for oldco

one condition to us re-entering the top division must be the registration embargo being lifted. We couldn't possibly play in the top division with our current squad. There are, of course, other conditions too like demanding the resignations of all those involved in the scandalous 5way agreement last summer. I'd demand to know who were all involved and why (although in 1 or2 cases I think we'd know why)

I think we will be in top division next season whatever it'll be called. Without us, SKY & sponsors will either reduce their financial contributions or walk away altogether. It's how we get to the top league that's the key issue. Putting us in SFL3 was one massive mistake

Gives them all plenty time to ask Liewell & Doncaster where this additional £4m is coming from that all the clubs would be getting distributed amongst them according to the figures given out

he's had time. His record is extremely poor whichever way you look at it. All I want is for him to be able to go out with some dignity. He's due that

They'll be waiting to see what SKY & other financial contributors think of the proposals. Probably not much(without us) I'd have thought

so why reconstruct the leagues at all then if it won't improve things?

We've a squad which has too many forwards & wide players and not enough midfielders & defenders. That's bad whichever way you look at it

can someone explain to me how adding two wee diddy clubs to make 44 clubs and changing from 12-10-10-10 to 12-12-10-10 is somehow going to improve & revolutionise scottish football ? don't even get me started on the SPL 's 12-12-18 joke.

one of the biggest areas of concern in the team IMO is MF. We lost Ness, Davis, Edu, McCabe etc and brought in one MF player - Black who to me is simply a ball winner who sits in front of the back four not a box to box midfielder as Ally & his coaches seem to think. Granted young McLeod has been excellent mostly but I believe we're expecting too much of a teenager in his first season. Hutton simply isn't good enough and Crawford hasn't really played enough games. Other than that the midfield has been made up also at times of other players playing out of position. That summarised is a midfield well short of what's required behind which any back four would struggle. I simply never understood why Ally brought in just one MF player before the transfer window shut last August when he lost just about all of them from the previous season. That was asking for trouble

what CG needs to decide is whether to let Ally bring in new players for next season if Ally doesn't have a long term future as Rangers manager. If he doesn't see Ally longterm then he must axe him at the end of the season. There's no point continuing with him otherwise

once attendances start to fall, like yesterday, CG will have to do something. Ally was one of our all time greats as a player but is simply not up to it as manager

We lost Davis, Edu, Ness , McCabe etc and brought in one midfielder - Ian Black. That was a recipe for disaster especially when we came up against better sides. We are well short in MF and yesterday was another example.

after everything that has happened over the past year it's important we return to focus on the football side of things. And, yes, I agree at present it is totally unacceptable what we're expected to watch. CG must decide how he intends to change this i.e. provide the current manager with resources to do so or get a new manager & provide him with resources to change things as he sees fit. I think more & more of us are going for the latter

a new manager with his own staff and new ideas is needed IMO. I still can't quite take in what I saw today. The worst result in our 140 year history. When you've got the 2nd highest wagebill in Scotland I expect significantly better than that.

I was meaning they'll decide which Scottish league we play in next season (assuming reconstruction takes place)

before we sign anyone CG needs to decide who he wants as Rangers manager next season. No point in allowing Ally to sign players and we end up with the same standard of performances next season then it becomes necessary to get a new manager who inherits all Ally's duds.

we desperately need 2 or 3 quality midfielders for starters............

after the transfer window shut last august I felt we were seriously short in MF. That was abundantly clear today. We don't control MF & have little or no creativity. The manager needs to take the blame for that.

Think you'll find SKY will decide where we play next season

This one of several anomalies regards D&P. The money they gave Whyte prior to buy out never touched Rangers account. How can Rangers be a creditor ? Whyte bought Rangers by using Rangers assets (season ticket sales) which is illegal.
