Rangersitis

He has already ruled that out.

Can't see any poll, but I'm with gunny on this. Templeton has the flatter to deceive role down pat, so no need for another prima donna. I will be totally underwhelmed if all these unimaginative targets being put forward just now are coming from Warburton.

Winning a tinpot cup will not make up for the humiliation of being outside the top division on merit for the first time in the club's history.

I believe that it is July 8th.

Looking after the day to day running of the club.

Looks like a list of players who they hope will move away from Brentford.

It's deranged behaviour.

He was but Motherwell voted in accordance with the wishes of their supporters group.

I don't think that Ashley holds any power or influence over the current board.

Certainly appears to tick all the boxes.

Pretty much the same thing.

Both in terms of finance and reputation. All this unseemly nonsense cannot be a great advert for a club which is supposedly looking for new investment.

No, and if resolution 2 had gone the other way that wouldn't have been enforceable either. It's all posturing from King and Ashley.

Yes, the strength of feeling towards moving further away from Ashley's influence was stronger than I expected.

Scouting should not have been based on Warburton coming in. It can't be something which needs to be overhauled every time that there is a managerial change as that would just be chaotic. The planning for it should have been done in all those months that they had leading up to taking over.

Smith at Everton played five centre-backs in a team and also one which contained seven defenders!

I am not expecting King to be channelling funds out of the club in the way the likes of Whyte and Green did. My concerns centre around just how much of the pre-EGM sound bites will materialise in cold, hard cash on this side. A wide-ranging scouting network should have been implemented on day one as that is the only sustainable way that a club playing in Scotland can compete on the continent.

Went to Leicester then Wigan. Spent most of his career on loan to a variety of clubs. Can't say that I have ever heard of him.

King is preferable to those mentioned, of course he is, but Green was also viewed by many as being preferable to Whyte. I am most impressed with the management team that has been brought in. Even if it doesn't work out, it has shown that the board have a certain amount of imagination with regard to the football side of things. My pal is a West Ham fan and when Allardyce went I said to him that Warburton would have been a good fit there, so I am pretty positive about the appointment.

It shouldn't, it was merely directed at Gillian saying that everything was back to normal and that he hoped that everyone would forget who the directors are. That is not going to happen for decades, if ever. The trauma of the last few years will ensure that. I am more than happy to play my part once again as King has been very clear about. What he hasn't been so clear about is what part he and any other investors he can acquire will have. Everything has been kept deliberately vague. The amount of millions required for the job has fluctuated wildly and now it is "open-ended". The timescales are non-existent and despite saying that they wanted to hit the ground running in order to keep the momentum of the EGM victory, the first four months have seen very little happen outside of the Ashley fued. Quite frankly, pinning him down to a straight answer seems more difficult than nailing a jelly to the wall.

I'm happy for everyone to make up their own mind too, Frankie, indeed I am fed up listening to people dictating how others should spend their money or what type of supporter they should be, but I also feel that King's board should be closely watched and held to the various promises that were made prior to their power grab. I hope that I am shown to have been concerned over nothing.

The results are both a formality and immaterial to everything that is going onbetween King and Ashley. Warburton and Weir being appointed should not end the scrutiny of those within the boardroom. They now need to provide the required funds to bring about the long list of improvements needed to once again make Rangers a professional football club.

A wise man once said:

How did that prediction work out? I echo the sentiments of that other boy in regard to hoping that Warburton has a deeper knowledge of what players will fit his system than the Scottish public and parochial media.

Someone expresses their feelings about a player and you get all uptight, so much so that you resort to name-calling. Not the type of behaviour one would expect from such a progressive chap as yourself.
