OFFICIAL Rangers appoint Russell Martin as head coach
buster. replied to compo's topic in Rangers Chat
What's not to like. The dream anti-hipster team. Shouting, vibes and clichés. -
The pretend tit for tat offence/outrage is all a bit pathetic from both sides and only makes it easier for the authorities to clamp down with ever more draconian measures against free speech in general.

Warnock is in with a shout with Barry as his number 2, is what I'm hearing. -
Match Thread [FT] Rangers 1 (Dessers 44') - 1 Celtic
buster. replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
Very difficult game to predict. Both teams are in a position where they have an excuse of sorts to take things 'easy' or not be too bothered if things start to go badly. I think it comes down to the simple old adage of 'who wants it most will win'. Could be 3-0 or 0-3. It won't tell us much that we don't already know. -

I don't think it was meant to become decades instead of years. Tolerance has been in very short supply. We need a new updated quote -
Bilbao are toast but for us, playing the extra round may end up working in our favour. Obviously, not if we get put out.

I don't know. I do think that we will see a European restructuring of football at some point (don't ask me when) and that may mean significantly increased revenue streams for the big clubs from smaller leagues. If it happened, then the value of the club would increase. The demand, mibbes aye, mibbes naw. Disclaimer: pure speculation
-
Very broadly, Ashley at Newcastle didn't look to fatten them up by investing much money. He extracted value and money whilst they performed on pitch at a poor to middling level. Fans didn't like it, he didn't care. He eventually made a big profit on his initial investment because of the increased demand for EPL clubs from extremely wealthy people/groups. The latter point could be replicated with us dependent on how European football evolves alongside associated revenue streams. All that said, at this stage everything is merely speculation.
-
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 😂 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 😂 -
No one can tell you anything. You have all the answers. We bow to the simplicity of genius.

It's so simple 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

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 clichés 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! -
