So what is the problem? Or is everything rosy in Scottish Footballs garden?

We don't need a war chest nor monopoly money to become a better team and beat teams in the SPL. We just require players who are fit, hungry, ambitious, mentally tough and coached properly. We may even have enough of those currently at Ibrox, just require someone to coach them.

It did, but there were a few fans writing in fanzines (Follow Follow and No1) and on forums (Follow Follow and even here on Gersnet) warning of the impending unravelling. Those who dared question Sir Duped or show any criticism towards him were attacked, lambasted, "shouted down" by fellow fans (no coincidence the same happened when some started questioning the current incumbents). When fans started to show their displeasure against SDM at games, they had flags / posters ripped from them by fellow "fans". When a small band of fans protested outside the main doors, they were spat on, verbally abused and chased by fellow "fans". Then SDM praised the "attackers" on Rangers publications even though they were singing the recently banned Billy Boys as they chased the protesters. I sometimes wonder (for a few seconds) where those fans are now and how they feel given how it all played out. This subject took over my life for a while, attempting through Fanzines and other platforms to change fans minds. If you want to bore yourself to death, plug Cammy F Rants into the Gersnet search engine and you'll find some of the stuff. I wish I was wrong about SDM and I wish I was wrong about the current incumbents, but sadly I (and others) were spot on.

I've not read the entire thread and whilst I agree with the club and fans pointing fingers at the UB for silly banners (their displays are usually well thought out), has anyone addressed "the elephant in the room" regarding the reappearance of The Billy Boys? The club specifically mentioned "songs" in their statement and this is not a UB issue, the majority of fans in attendance sang The Billy Boys. The singing of this song (and others) has already resulted in sections of the stadium being closed and will do again of it continues. Will the club and the wider fan base use the UBs as a convenient scapegoat if this were to happen?

Give us your earthshattering alternatives then

Jesper Christiansen - singed for £1M and had played a handful of games as a keeper after previously being a striker. Think he played for us twice.

Not true - see SG era. And as said above, a club like Rangers should be in a constant state of rebuilding.

And that right there is why there will be no league reconstruction in Scotland. Most clubs require Rangers and Celtic visiting them 2 or 3 times a season (hospitality, ticket sales, etc).

Weirdly, you think the teams added would be beaten easily, yet some of them have decent cup runs, defeating current SPL teams in the process. It would encourage player development and many fans would like to see this, in fact, I read on here constantly that we should play the kids, in a 16 or 18 team top flight, there would be games we could play "the kids". Either way, we need to do something as Scottish Football is a backwater with little interest outside of Scotland. It's also hating itself to death, but not much us fans can do. Just another example of pay up and shut up.

OK, I'll indulge you. Because the current set-up is boring. Playing the same teams 4 to 6 times a season is boring. I think a lot of football fans will have the same opinion. I'd also say that the current set-up doesn't encourage player development.

A club like ours should constantly be rebuilding / freshening / improving the team / squad.

I don't get this "call for a rebuild" every season. If the manager is not doing their job, they need removed. It was obvious Clement want what we needed, the only recent manager who may have been fired too soon was Gio. This season wasn't a rebuild, it was a downsizing of an already tired and depleted squad due to wages. We have players who we can build around (we will argue to the cows come home who these are) but what we do need is a coach with a system that gets players fit and play a fast attacking style of football. Other than that, I would agree with everything else you said.

Bigger league - 16 teams, play each other twice (home and away). No split but would keep promotion / relegation play offs (Bottom 2 relegated / top 2 promoted. Play off between 3rd bottom and 3rd top). I know nobody would vote for that, but we need to change the format.

Another game where I can't pick anyone. #abstaining

And unfortunately, that will be their legacy

Buster will never admit that the reason they need to keep the lights on is 100% down to them continually making bad decisions. It's nothing to do with unrealistic or impatient fans, it's everything to do with bad decision, after bad decision.

How much did NEH cost us? How much did we lose on court cases? How much did we lose sacking managers? I could go on, but these have nothing to do with impatient fans and everything to do with bad boardroom decisions

Firstly, you have to plug the holes. How can we generate circa £100M and still require soft loans to make it to the end of the season? I think a "deep-dive" would show that its all due to bad boardroom decisions and nothing to do with impatient fans (remembering the fans are the biggest financial contributers the club have).

Had a guy behind me say that the banner was the "final straw" and should lead to the board banning them from Ibrox.

So the current incumbents who've mismanaged us to a point we cannot operate without soft loans despite generating close to £100M selling up is a "quick fix"? Why are we having to make "quick fixes" when it comes to successive managers? It's because the boar continues to make the wrong appointments. A question that always remains unanswered I'd how long should we have given this boad to make us sustainable? Another decade?

Sure it was to do with their plans for a fan meet up outside the Copland on Thursday. Might be wrong though!

People can change their opinions. At one point I thought Sir Duped was the right person for Rangers. Then I did some digging and got my eyes opened. History repeated itself - those who woke up to SDMs mismanagement were ridiculed and abused. Those who woke up to this (and previous incarnations) board were ridiculed and abused.

Why are you asking me - ask Chris Graham.

Oh, it's my fault the Belgian Waffle was sacked and replaced by a failed lower division manager. Who knew........ As its so relevant, I'll repost Chris Graham's tweet - maybe the more it's posted, people will realise who got us into this mess

I stopped reading at Yilmaz is a "young" "asset".........😁
