Perhaps not believing everything you read in newspapers might be a good idea.  

There isn’t much else to go on. We could just not talk about it until a manager is announced?

Someone needs to get in touch with the board and tell them Lampard is not an option. Is he still in the running for the job?

He's just a caretaker manager.

 

The requirement for harsh words is something you have imagined.

Yes, generally we all try to imagine what is required.

Also, whatever Davis has done for us in the past, he wasn't the right man to bring in even temporarily. The blame lies squarely on the board for doing this, but you can't expect someone who has been friends with these players and played through similar periods with them to be able to give the harsh words that are required.

Would be as well taking our time over the manager appointment.

 

New manager is gonna be able to do fuck all until some of the better players are back and even when he can trade his own.

 

Taking over soon will just result in him having a horror start and risking the fans turning on him.

We beat Real Betis. I think we can get through this group with the right manager. But I agree that it has to be a very good manager. No project will get us through this.

That was incredibly disappointing.  Davis has basically picked the same bunch of losers and failed to replace some of them early enough.  Followed the same loser tactics as Beale.  Haven't read the thread.  

I know people will hate me for saying this, but Beale shouldn't have been sacked before a European game. He should of course have been sacked, but there was a period in the break to do it.

No idea why people are suggesting other players would have been better, its a moot point, we've no system, no style, you could put Messi in there, no one running off him would see him useless as well.

 

The only positive, it's clear there's not going to be a 'bounce', hopefully this will focus the board.

I hear you, but I massively disagree. Put better players on the pitch and there is a far higher chance we would succeed. A major part of the problem is that Beale has replaced players with poorer ones.

Of course it's a wind up. 

Crazy to think Rangers wouldn't ever be able to meet their financial obligations.

Is this real?

After that display I think the only option the board has is to bring in a top manager. Someone the fans can really back and get behind. I don't think any manager with a slim track record will be afforded the time to turn this around. 
 

This is not a time for risks, this is a time for the board to pull something spectacular out the hat and prove they can move us forward.

It's a shameful, embarrassing performance. As much as I love Tav there have been too many with him in it, same too for a lot of these players. The change we all expected to happen during the summer never happened, instead we wasted millions. A shambles.

Wow, I thought Dessers had been taken off

What the fuck? lol holy shit that VAR check. 

Get in! For the one player who might deserve it too!

Davis right now

The board's covert operation to install Davis as manager is imploding and their pupils are dilating as we watch this. I await the panic appointment.

Absolutely shocking. To a man awful, Lundstrum can go home and the defence can fuck off 

Sima is actually offering something at least in this match at least. If there is anyone available to replace Dessers I would do it now.

This is absolutely shocking, we are a disorganised mess of effortless shysters. 

Some touch by Wright there. Shame Lammers decided not to touch the pass.

They seem able to just run past our players whenever they like.

Why the feck doesn't the ref just look at it?

Not like Dessers to be offside

Holy shit, this is awful.

Who is that under the ball not even attempting to challenge their attacker?
