Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Are we blaming the board for the loss to Malmo? Should they have taken the club further into debt to appease Gerrard and perhaps stopped him leaving? Did many think GvB was terrible choice of replacement at the time? I do hear people say we should have sold Morelos and Kent when they were at their peak. Again, hindsight is a wonderful thing. Had we sold them there would be posters on here criticising the board's lack of ambition, being only interested in money. I feel there's a lack of realism around much of the criticism the board get. I mean the OP suggests you "could pick any half a dozen fans from the crowd and they would formulate and action a better plan to run the club" which is a nice soundbite but is also total and utter bollocks. It's such a ludicrously naive statement. That so many can't look at the people on our board, at their past achievements, at the ability so many of them clearly have, at the time and money they've poured into the club and realise that actually, if they weren't able to achieve everything we all wanted, that maybe, just maybe, it's a much harder job to do than most of us seem to think it is bewilders me. The simplicity so many approach this with is staggering. 

 

This board leave the club in a much better place than they found it, they should be thanked for that. 

While hindsight is a wonderful thing, failing to prepare, is preparing to fail.

 

Yes the club should have taken on more debt to build on from the success of winning the league title - instead the board decided to spend money on legacy projects like NEH, the Rangers Museum etc, new disabled seating areas.

 

The footballing side was gambled on, done an invincible season squad should be able to go again, and it was neglected in the years after.

 

This board have hemorrhaged money up the wall, wasted resources time and time again, so badly to the point that we've lost most of our long standing records, we've becoming a laughing stock to most, and we're in a perpetual cycle of crap, this board have left the club in a position where we literally need to rip it all up and start again, selling was the only option. So to me they haven't left the club in a better position.

 

They've done as much damage as the spivs.
