Probably did to be fair.

No, the second best was 19 years ago, then third 18 years ago and so on.

Just been informed that St Johnstone are the only team we've not dropped points against in last 12 months, so...........

Going to jinx it, but our home form / results are not an issue. Draw with DUFC the only blemish. St Johnstone bottom of the league and with a worse away record than we have, all points to a home win. Team selection will be down to who is fit. Looking forward to tomorrow - freezing cold, toxic atmosphere, half empty stadium.

But SG showed progression year on year and inherited an absolute shit show. Don't think we can argue about the "ran the club better to support the managers" can we?

Hard to disagree with

If that's the sum of ambition, imagination and hope you can dredge up to disprove my argument then my points stand. I've lost the will / energy to discuss this. If you believe we have ambition, imagination and hope with the current incumbents (board and manager) then fine. Good luck.

They were necessary to get rid of the spivs and must be remembered and thanked for that. However, they are tarnishing their reputation and putting the club at risk since then. They have finally appointed people with football experience but it all appears too little, too late. I'm sure Mr Stewart is addressing the media / fans at 11:00AM today, probably with a re-recorded interview, so be interesting to hear what he has to say.

Yip, just read @BlackSocksRedTops post above. Rangers Football Club, only in name. A shadow of what it once was. Zero ambition, zero imagination, zero hope.

It may have changed, but junior clubs could pay to participate in the Scottish Cup (positive Linlithgow Rose done it a few times). But agree, some junior clubs can get quite far into the compition and can hold their own. One of my best football memories was watching Bo'ness United beat Queens Park in the Scottish Cup (2010).

This 100% - best post on this entire thread.

The Blue Order never really made statements from memory. It is also worth remembering that TBO never had the numbers that The Union Bears have and were never as organised. I can think of one when Rangers sent the entire group letters about standing during games. The gist was if the standing continued, the club would ban the group. After one midweek game against DUFC (if I remember correctly) several members of the group received letters informing them they were banned from the next home match. Now, some of those banned weren't at the DUFC game, so it was obvious that the club had just selected random seats / people and banned them (not the entire group). So at the next game, those who "ran" TBO spoke to people in the group and said they would release a statement saying the above. The UBs are far more organised, they travel to away games, meet up and walk to the ground together. They also have / part of The Copland Collective which is used to get support and membership for the group. I would assume they talked about this statement whilst travelling back from Dundee and into Friday. Probably doesn't necessarily mean all members of UB agree, but shows another group of fans displeasure. The Union Bears will always split the support but having been part of The Blue Order (which was "older" fans wanting to bring back old Rangers songs) and witnessed first hand the "hostility" we faced from the club and fellow fans, I tend to cut them some slack. I thought their statement was a little "scatter-gun" as it mentioned manager, senior players and board, but I couldn't really disagree with anything they said. It's interesting that since Thursday night, the travelling fans at full-time, the RSA, fan media (who pay a lot of money to get access to players, managers press conferences) and now UBs have all made "statements" saying its time up. David Edgar reiterated this last night. Whilst they don't speak for the entire fanbase (nobody does), those mentioned above are a fairly good gauge of what the general support are thinking.

Ah, the infamous succession planning. It'll be Derek McInnes or they'll stick with Clement.

From The Sun so worth taking this with a pinch of salt. Not seeing it reported anywhere else as yet.

A telling two lines from Kris Boyd's latest article which is hard to disagree with, but this part is telling ; "Rangers don’t make things happen. They HOPE something will happen." Same with some fans it would seem.

They're fans groups, any of their potaential "solutions" are meritless. They have no say in any "solutions" If we want to believe that those groups, who, along with others, plough millions in to the club are merely "arm waving", then we are playing a dangerous game.

David Moyes back to Everton - another potential manager out of the equation 😀

So since the final whistle last night, we've had the travelling support advocating his dismissal, we've had fan media advocate his dismissal, we've had The RSA advocate his dismissal, now we have The Union Bears add their voice to these calls. Whilst there is no definitive way to gauge the feelings of the entire support, that's most, if not all, the big hitters wanting him gone.

He was also very unlucky with the shot off the bar near the end.

As @Rousseau said, this isn't about rinse and repeat, it's about a manager / coach who'll get better out of the players at their disposal. Is Clement getting the best out of them? The answer is a resounding no. Has he had sufficient time to get better out them, in my opinion, the answer is yes. We are regressing rather than improving. The biggest single source of income is from the fans (outwith player trading if we every get that right - season tickets, merchandise, match day experience, hospitality etc), and the only tool the fans have to show their displeasure or force change is to withhold their hard earned cash. If the board want to gamble that the fans will continue to blindly show loyalty, then good luck to them. As @compo says, the majority of fans just want a winning team on the pitch. End of story. No matter who publically tells them thats not posssible, rightly or wrongly, they don't care. Sunday will be interesting - the official attendance will be +40K, but bums on seats will be a lot less than that. Results continue to worsen so will attendances which will have an impact on income. Come ST renewals, depending on what transpires between now and March / April time, it could turn out to be catastrophic for the board. They'll just have to rely on the 10000 ST waiting list.

Just got notification that Rangers are advertising a managers role on their socials. Got very excited, but turns out its a Marketing Manager. Acht well.....

He did have a pop at Igamane in his post match comments. To be fair to Clement, it's not the 1st time he's singled player(s) out. Not saying it's right, just saying he's done it before.

But they are connected. If an argument for keeping him is we can't afford to sack him, there is validity in asking why we can't afford to sack him. One of the reasons is his extended contract. Inexplicably linked.

I wonder if Dessers wages are close to his underperforming managers wages?
