What's so funny? Do you want rid of all the serial failures, or just 3? Serious question.

You can't, but as least close season has shown, getting rid of players who've had their chance doesn't always make you stronger.

Why just a few, get rid of them all. Or are Tav, Goldson and Lundstrum the only players who have failed time and time again? Anyway, you'll get your wish, plenty of the "serial failures" are out of contract in the summer and will leave. Add them to the "serial losers" who left last season, not be many of them left.

But surely that applies to every player, no matterthe length of time they have been here?

It'll be unpopular but as toy say, unless someone comes in with big bids for them, they ain't going anywhere. The interest from Saudi for Tav is genuine but he isn't sure about uprooting his family. If I were him, I'd go, as no matter what he does at Rangers, he'll be constantly and continually slaughtered by a growing majority of the fanbase (when he is in reality, the least of our problems). Thankfully there are a few players out of contract in the summer which will free up wages. Previously, I thought offering Lundstrum a new contract was a good idea, now I'm not so sure. His wages can be better utilised. Top priorities for me in the summer are : 2 x left backs 2 x Centre-halves 1 x CM 1 x CF 1 x RW 1 x LW probably need to add a goalie and right back if Tav and Butland are sold to fund the rebuild. If we can somehow sell the likes of Raskin, Lawrence and Dowell then move them on.

Because its easier to believe that getting rid of the mainstays of the team will magically solve all our problems. It's simplistic - we haven't won much with them so if we get rid of them, we'll starting winning trophies. As you say, utter nonsense.

That's the issue - people quote Beales transfer outlay, but in reality it was something like circa £6M net. He got rid of players we all.want rid off - Helander, Kent, Kamara, Morelos etc and they were not replaced by better players. We'll get rid of Tav, Barasic, Goldson and Lundstrum and their replacements may not be better. Never ending cycle. We have to give Clement a chance, he's only had 1 window and apart from Silva, the players brought in have looked like they could offer something. However, they were all loans (with 1 obligation to buy and 1 option to buy). So £4.5M of whatever the board promised Clement is going on Diomande.

Oh dear

And even if we win all our remaining league games this season we'll not reach the same total us we managed last season. We were only ever in a title race as Celtic have regressed dramatically. That's what makes our capitulation even worse.

This romantic notion that things will magically change for the better if / when we get rid of "certain individuals" is pie in the sky or wishful thinking. Unless those certain individuals are the vast majority of our squad. Struggling to think of any reason to keep any of them.

Don't think it's just a few of them. They've all let us down since domestically since 55.

Within a week? We've won 2 out of 8.

Looks like we have about 20 of them. This capitulation can't be down to some insidious individuals.

It's fairly obvious that we require better players. Doesn't take a genuis to work that out. A proper structure and playing style, with a settled starting 11 might also help.

That's us another £60M behind that lot. Destined to be 2nd best for a while.

I blame Tav, Goldson and Lundstrum.

Well, there's always next season. Can't see us beating Hearts on Sunday

His selection against Celtic for a start - even with injuries, he hasn't played a settled 11. How can you get rhythm with changing every week. 2 wins in 8 - let that sink in - has to take some blame and responsibility

Think most of us would, but he can't escape criticism. His team selections and "style" and that's 2 wins in 8 unless something dramatic happens.

With his continued "tinkering" and strange substitutions, its not outwith the realms of possibility

So I'm assuming we'd all take a 1-0 win now 🤔 😁

Is it my imagination but we've gone so narrow recently. No width whatsoever on either flank. Full backs and wide players all starting narrow and going inside.

We might if Dundee took off 3 or 4 players and we gave all our players a ball each.

Oh well, needs to start every week then 😉😁

Don't understand the Dowell for Cantwell sub either. Had to be Lawrence that came off.
