I remember that many of our fans, at least on the message boards gave Charles Green the benefit of the doubt, using the logic that for them to make money, Rangers needed to do well. Some did the same with Mike Ashley. Saying that he would invest so as to get us to the Champions League because he couldn't with Newcastle. To be clear, I don't bracket the current interest with the Charles Green M.O. But it could be along broadly similar lines as Mike Ashley.

Either clean your ears out or complain to the broadcaster. The first 3 French PSG forwards I looked up have a collective 14 goals in this season's CL.

Compo has been on the 'No Fcuks Given Tour' for quite a while now π As for Vatican sponsorship, aren't the 49ers very Vatican orientated?

A lot depends on how they plan to extract a return. We'll need to be patient and see how it develops. At the moment, we know very little.

BF is BF, he is what he is. Those appointing him will have known or been told. -

I am far from being a fan of Barry Ferguson but IMO, this isn't really on him. It is more on those who decided to appoint him. Generally, we have had this type of player mentality at Ibrox for years which allied to a lack of vision and leadership upstairs has produced Omnishambles FC. An interim period of 2-3 weeks, ok but 3 months was too long for BF&friends. That said, Patrick Stewart was between a rock and a hard place and not many would have fancied the gig. -
That is like saying Patrick Thistle are better than Rangers π

No one can tell you anything. You have all the answers. We bow to the simplicity of genius.

There are four games left. Youngsters who are considered potential for next season should get significant game time, period. Rarely do we get opportunities (dead rubbers) to do so. When they arise, you should take advantage. Will that mean an under 20 team for the Celtic game, no. You have the secret to catch up quickly, you are a message board genius. I said we need to concentrate on becoming sustainable as a business. That is the secret of their success. We faff about trying shortcuts every year and get nowhere. Other than when they took their eye off the ball, appointed Lennon and badly fcuked up a transfer window. We weren't able to build on that because not being a sustainable well run business, we were broke.

Our net spend was far higher than theirs. They have been selling players for relatively big money. We sold 5 and loaned out 4 for 810,000. It was so low because we had to payoff players to leave. This will apply to a fair few this summer as well.
-
Shouldn't be thinking of giving talented youngsters a chance of significant minutes in dead rubbers, heaven forbid !! Listen to Cammy, he knows. But don't worry because everything will work out apparently. It is straightforward, all we need is to get all the appointments and signings right. If only we had known that before.
-
Barry speaks well, apparently!! That line is doing a lot of heavy lifting but I have yet to hear anything other than tired clichΓ©s delivered in a serious tone. TBF he was always up against it and what is happening was more or less, inevitable. Years of being Omnishambles FC has its consequences. What happens on the park in the coming weeks is largely irrelevant. The one thing that should happen is that any young players that merit it should be getting a meaningful amount of minutes.

Given that Celtic will still be half pished, next week will be about who hasn't put the tools away. Might be quite a tame affair. -
So much for the highly rated analytics and data that Hearts used to pick their manager. Sacked after 6 months!

In 2009 he was TOLD by the bank to take measures. He stood down from an active role and the bank had Donald Muir come in to make sure things were kept under relative control. The very first leak by Charlotte Fakes was a 2009 email between Sir Duped (using an alias) and Jack Irvine. Subject was Craig Whyte and his internet history.

The interim saviour post Clement has lost 15 goals in 7 league games. In the last title winning season, we conceded 13 in a full 38 game season -

For all their mistakes, the current board have kept the lights on. Fair enough to criticise what they got wrong but your tiresome tirades against them are just a demonstration of an ungrateful and entitled predisposition. Your simplistic vision for success is laughable and comes from Burnistoun. Just dae it better than they dae -

I'd say we have few options given circumstances and there not being many who want the gig. The status quo was always going to change somewhat given major shareholders were looking to sell or have essentially been forced out (health/ pressure). However what was previously stated is that some of the current shareholders wanted to keep the club out of the hands of one 'outside' controlling interest. The reason being is that it could lead to an existential threat. Now it seems as though the prevailing will is to relinquish what was a controlling emotional stake. In the end, I don't think there was a choice as such. In essence, we are gambling once again. Fans are happy because it is back to frenzied speculation and hope. It is understandable after a lot of relative misery. To be clear. I am not saying that the new controlling interest is spiv like. However they come to make money from a business that has for about 3 decades lost money, year after year. A business that comes with very particular pressure in a very particular league. Let's wait and see what they have to say when the deal is done. -

Just answer the question Cammy. Forget the 49% of old board for a moment. What happens if after 12 / 24 months of 51% new ownership, it isn't working (ie. still second)? I realise it is dark question but given circumstances, a fair one. -

This potentially raises an important question. The reason that the various projects/models have been tossed in the bin is because they weren't working and as I think you allude to, a lack of patience. This in large part, driven by the support. What happens if after 12 / 24 months of 51% new ownership, it isn't working (ie. still second)? _____________-------------_____________ How do 'modern methods' blend with the pressure and demands at a club like Rangers in Scottish fitbaw ? Only time will tell. If nothing else, it should be interesting.
