    Totally understand where you are coming from but in spite of the deficiencies of our playing strength,, Rangers will always carry a large support to tournaments with financial benefits to the host club.

    Your assessment could be right, RAB, but Ally had ample time to weigh up Bell's capabilities before signing him. I feel that Cammy Bell is an adequate goalkeeper, while well below the standard of the Woods, Goram, Klos and McGregor. The re-signing of Simonsen, for me, at least, is difficult to understand.
  3. Tom Davison
    The two younger goalkeepers at Rangers must surely be in despair. It is decisions like this that leads to Ally getting deserved criticism.

    D'art has highlighted failure to understand the depth of anger that has been generated. I may be wrong but I have never felt that the depth of anger was misunderstood. Instead, my feeling was that the media and some in the HMRC just didn't care and in some cases, welcomed our despair. An acknowledgement of their own failings and contributions. Just can't see that happening.

    While I am uncertain of the purpose of this membership scheme, is it not just possible that the major source of alienation has been the recent and existing "custodians" of our club?

    While I have no time for the people who have been/now are running our club and am puzzled why there remains support for them from some Rangers supporters, to use a boxing illustration, the board members are well ahead on points. We have heard all sorts of noises from the likes of Paul Murray, Jim McColl, Dave King and the U of F representatives but the noises, in the main, have been less than convincing and often confusing. I suspect that I am not alone in confessing that I just don't know how our club can be restored to what most of us would like it to be.

    Agree with much that you say but I suspect that you know that there will never be an apology. IMO, the biggest hurdle to Scottish Football moving forward is the selfish and small minded approach of those who should be providing leadership and it is difficult to see how that is going to change in the foreseeable future.
  9. Tom Davison
    OK like much of what happens at Rangers, the Kris Boyd signing is short-term but he was excellent at Kilmarnock last season and he is bound to be an asset.
  10. Tom Davison
    Wonder if Mr Crichton will have anything to say on behalf of the Investment Committee that he heads up.
  11. Tom Davison
    While agreeing with much of what you say, Hildy, when you say "fighting to take it back", how do you think that can be achieved? This is a genuine question and it is a question for which, I have no answer.
  12. Tom Davison
    Probably true and yet the situation could be remedied if Wallace was prepared (or perhaps allowed), to say something substantive on behalf of the board other than coming out with vague statements and launching meaningless schemes e.g Ready to Listen.
  13. Tom Davison
    Just another example of the small minded ness of the characters in leadership positions of Scottish football. It is little wonder that our game is in such poor condition.
  14. Tom Davison
    Totally agree but can't think that we are going to be able to make a signing that would leave the fans overwhelmed. Would gladly settle for a centre back who is competent and mobile.
  15. Tom Davison
    In any successful organisation those in leadership are bright/experienced enough to understand that to achieve success that it is essential to provide clarity in their policies and in their relationship with key people. The key people will be those on the payroll and most certainly their customers. The people currently in leadership at our club don't come across as sharing such values and that results in so many questions being asked.
  16. Tom Davison
    How did you know that the football was disgraceful, if you never went to a match?
  17. Tom Davison
    Not sure what the UofF could do, if they were given precise details of season ticket sales. If the bloke who believes that the board has a plan was prepared to share his understanding of what their plan is, that would be really helpful to those of us who haven't a clue of the ingredients of their plan.
  18. Tom Davison
    Based on the disagreement expressed on this thread, the potential for agreement when all the groups attend the Louden gathering, seems remote. Not sure that the number of people today will have much influence on our board, one way or another. The reduction in the number of season ticket renewals is the figure that should concern them.
  19. Tom Davison
    This initiative is both positive and well intentioned. However, although there are about 20 groups listed, I suspect that a large percentage of the club's support will no little or nothing of the existence of such groups and the relevance of what is agreed at this gathering is bound to be very limited.
  20. Tom Davison
    Very good piece Hildy. I know where you are coming from when you say that there are no heroes in this debacle but it may just be that fans who have stuck with it and some of the club employees who have had to endure such worrying and unsettling times might just have earned the right to claim heroic status.
  21. Tom Davison
    It was reported that One of the Easdales sat in on the meeting along with Wallace and in the UofF statement, it is not suggested that his was a dissenting voice. Thought for some time now that McMurdo has lost his marbles and has become a figure of fun to most people who have heard of him. Suspect that might not be too high a number.
  22. Tom Davison
    The questions and doubts are both valid and legitimate but it seems churlish not to concede that things are a bit brighter than they were yesterday.
  23. Tom Davison
    Find it hard to believe that anyone can feel reassured in any way, following th Q and A. A goalkeeping coach would have admired Mr Wallace's ability to deflect the straight shots.
  24. Tom Davison
    Just wonder what the younger goalkeepers at the club think about this? Disappointed, perhaps?
  25. Tom Davison
    Most people would go along with a top notch CEO being amply rewarded. However, GW asked for time to demonstrate that he could provide top notch leadership through his 120 day review/report. I felt that the content of his report was at best, disappointing and it may be that there will be others who are now having reservations that GW is really top notch and this has led to some of the questions about his level of salary and what he can do to justify his bonus.
