That is brilliant Frankie.

Half the squad are worth zero with them being out of contract in 6 months. The other half is riddled with mediocrity.

OK i agree with a lot of that but who would you say makes up a decent back 4?

 

we have no right back worthy of the name - wallace hmmm - ok but not great defensively and as for CB well who do you pick?

I would go

Sinnamon-McGregor-Halkett-Wallace

Hearts are flying with 6 academy graduates in their team, there is no reason why we can't either.

Foster-Zaliukas-McGregor-Wallace is the most experienced, that should also be more than capable of dominating this league.

I do stress again however, midfield determines how successful any defence is.

He said "My loyalty is with Rangers, not with Sevco, who I don't know anything about." He was absolutely spot on with that. Why would he choose to lose more money in order to line the pockets of Green and his cohorts?

 

This shite about having his salary paid when injured is a complete red herring. Every club has to take out insurance which covers a player's wages when crocked, so it was the underwriter who picked up the tab, not Rangers.

 

You don't appear to understand how TUPE works either. If he and all the others had agreed to transfer their contracts over and then sit tight on their hefty wages, where would that have left Green's little plan?

Been saying that since it happened! Cheers.

After the last few weeks diabolical efforts who can blame fans for giving it a miss? Even in victory it's near impossible to sit through 90 minutes of Rangers right now.

We wouldn't have sold our allocation, you can't give away tickets to people these days. No one is interested.

No problem with this whatsoever. We get treated differently, so what's new?

Worst has already happened.... he left

Perhaps true mate, I think being compensated with chocolate buttons is a sore one to take.

If we say for arguments sake mccoist was replaced tomorrow with a good manger.

 

you think the back 4 in all its forms is good enough to go and win enough games to overhaul a 9 point lead?

I know they are, absolutely. You seen how Walter Smith coached guys like Papac, Whittaker and Davie Weir to a European final. The defence is fine, for this level, what isn't, is our midfield, that is where our game goes to shit. Midfield. There is no help for the defenders, no support and no protection for them either, and it the same for our strikers, the midfield is a rotten. Our engine room and heartbeat, it's a disgrace. Right across the whole 4, they don't help the defence and they don't help the strikers. They basically do nothing. They offer nothing.

Thanks guys. I wasn't sure.

He who can't be named 3 times is saying Ally's been told 3 of the best assets are going in January

We only have one of any real value.

This the guy that told fans to boycott Tannadice and then went to the game himself?

Until both Naismith & Whittaker come out & tell us who put them up to spout the Sevco nonsense at that Press Conference then he'll be scum forever in the eyes of most of us IMO

Naismiths representative at the time was a Celtic supporter. Not sure about Whittaker.

I love Naismith. He made a mistake, who hasn't. Move on.

Expect the worst Bears.

Plus 3 or 4 better quality players

That I don't agree with. We have more than enough in the squad. We could actually do with getting rid of as many passengers as possible.

We have a manager who has failed at every challenge put it front of him and a defence that has conceded almost twice as many as Hearts.

Spot on, McCoist ain't turning this around, that much is obvious. We need change.

Stephen Stirling, i am sure he was one of our kids many moons ago. Name rings a bell from one of those daft computer games.

Based on what?

The new manager hitting the ground running.

He unfollowed me the other day, i have no chance! Nor am i interested.

Alloa have proven twice already this season that they can get a draw against us in the league, so it's down to our management team and players to collectively figure out where they've went wrong and put Alloa out of the Cup.

Attitude. It won't happen again.

We are not going to win this division now. You have to realise that.

If anything Hertz will increase their 9 point lead as opposed to us reducing it.

Our only hope for promotion is playoffs where we'd face an improving Hibz side who have already won at ibrox

I know you are slightly pessimistic Rab, i am too but saying the league is over in November is nonsense mate. 9 points is nothing.

Even that is debatable.

Alloa and Livingston in our way, imo that one is in the bag. Not even he can mess that up. Surely!

A 'good manager' will want funds to bring in new players to at least give us a chance of promotion via playoffs.

Not sure that's possible at present

A good manager would see the extensive resources we currently have and win the title as well as make a proper fist of the three domestic cups. A squad of over 30 first team players and numerous international footballers, hall of famers, record goal scorers, club captains, leaders, We have a great chance here to make history. The quad was on, Ally staying ensures we only end up with 1 useless mickey mouse cup.

what are you counting as football cost?

Just the playing squad and coaching staff. Think it's around £11m a year. Turnover will be lucky to top £17m this year.

this interests me because I've read that our players costs are a lower proportion of overall costs than most football teams. Richard Wilson said it but I've read many other journos saying the same thing

 

I don't get it..............why are the writing this then ?

Journos write nonsense all the time depending on their agenda. Perhaps they were simply relaying the nonsense 27% McCoist try to fool fans into believing? Who knows, but they wrong, so wrong.
