Rangers 0 - 1 Manchester Utd - Player Ratings and MoM Poll

[Stimpy 0]

When are our fans going to realise that, given our current predicament, allied to the obscene finances being provided to the major leagues, that European football is nothing other than a nice wee excursion and a money spinner for us ?

 

Our bread and butter is the SPL currently - it is critical to win it yet again - and Miller's goals are doing as much, if not more, than anyone in seeing that happens.

 

Also, in the last 5 years just who exactly HAS been a "CL standard" striker for us ? I cant think of anyone to be honest - more than happy to be proven wrong though. We have plenty of players who are not of that standard - in fact most of our players are not of CL standard if we are being honest, yet you constantly bark on about Miller - there is absolutely no doubting you have a personal dislike for Miller more than any other player - so much so that you completely refuse to acknowledge the excellent contribution that he has provided to us in terms of domestic dominance.

 

Agree with that. Although, would Prso not be CL quality?

 

Our demise in terms of footballing standard is hard to take and it doesn't look to be changing any time soon. A mix of Murray's negligent fiscal policy, other clubs voting against the OF for TV rights and showing a complete lack of ambition to move forward has seen us have to big up players performances when in the past we would not have accepted it.

 

The EPL's over inflated wage bill has also made it harder. Decent players in England are paid twice as much as we pay or more. Ten years ago the decent EPL player would rather have come up to Ibrox and win medals, play in Europe and have an overall better CV. Money talks now and we're not in the position to effectively compete on that aspect any more.

 

Perhaps, and I'll say this with optimism and not logic, Mr Whyte might take us on a new direction. Can you imagine what our predicament might have been if Walter retired or stayed with Scotland? *shivers*
