RANGERRAB

Would a DoF have prevented our poor summer recruitment? Where does the buck stop? We sacrificed a manager last year because of a DoF signing players he never wanted

So who would be your ‘right ones’ we should have hired or should now hire?

We’ve had too many managers. That’s a big part of the problem

Hmmmm not entirely sure about that. Yes there were boos but I’d suggest it was very much a minority

No we didn’t play well yesterday for a variety of reasons mainly due to the manager’s decisions. But we played well on Thursday night though. Whilst I have concerns about the manager I think all we can do is hope he can sort things out.

I wonder if any of the senior players ( Tavernier, Goldson etc) quizzed Beale on the tactics and substitutions yesterday? And also if they’ve done so in previous games too? And if so is CEO Bisgrove aware of this?

I’m genuinely concerned we’re allowing ourselves to be talked into a non-existent crisis by the usual suspects in the mhedia.

Supposedly if he’s sacked within the first year there’s no compensation due.

I think Danilo will do well for us. And maybe Cifuentes too but the rest worry me

What concerned me yesterday was the players seemed bemused by the tactics/game plan if there was one. Matondo being replaced by Souttar was incredible

Was Dessers offside when he got brought down by the Motherwell keeper in the second half yesterday? It didn’t go to VAR IIRC

We’ve only got three fit first team MF players at the moment - Lundstrum, Cifuentes & Jack. And 16 year old Bailey Rice. Let that sink in.

I do think there’s been a bit of an overreaction to today’s 1-0 win. Let’s see how we get on in the next 2 home games this week against Livingston then Aberdeen

I think it needs pointed out we are missing cantwell, raskin & Danilo atm. And we were maybe a bit weary after thursday night. But today’s performance wasn’t a one off as we’ve seen already since the start of the season

Didn’t realise that if true. They seem to have improved quite a bit since kettlewell took over

I wouldn’t want any of those three anywhere near the Rangers job 😱

Who knows but I think the games up to the next international break will be telling

Sometimes that’s all that matters. We got the 3 points but you have to give Motherwell credit today. They came here with a gameplan and stuck with it. It nearly worked for them. But every time I see MB getting interviewed after another dire performance I see a manager who knows his summer recruitment has mostly been unsatisfactory

My understanding is that they want to appoint a replacement. Maybe they can’t find the right person? I was also told MB doesn’t want another DoF to be appointed. Whether thats true or not I don’t know

Isn’t that why clubs employ DoF’s/ Sporting directors? To take football decisions? Wr did that too but ours wanted to sign players too e.g. Aaron Ramsey whom GvB never wanted Get the right person & this role can work but the wrong un & things can go badly wrong

It was a difficult watch. No doubt about it. Replacing the injured Matondo with CB Souttar didn’t work. It dramatically reduced our attacking options in whatever system Beale was trying to use

We have to hope they make the right appointment if they decide to get rid off Beale.Theres not a lot else we can do. My understanding regards Beale is if he’s binned within his first year he gets no compensation. So decision time is fast approaching

Yes and no. He wasn’t a unanimous choice as far as I’m led to believe.

I’m not suggesting getting rid off the board. I don’t think that’s an option.

No. The board are a big part of the problem. Too many of these appointments have been for wrong reasons
