Warburton and Weir wanted by Wigan. I don't want to see him leave.

They can both leave for Wigan, out their depth in the premiership. May get some compensation for Warburton if he goes!

the so called new manager will have to face the same 9/ 10 men defences that warburton has faced . and teams playing as if it was their cup final.

Yes of course it is the same 9/ 10 defences but Warburton doesn't seem to have the "key" to open them and doesn't appear to be searching for it.

Sorry but he is a "rookie" manager and if he doesn't change then "he" will need to be changed.

Where is the freshness of the early promise of last season - he is beginning to look tried out - no new ideas - like McCoist .

Nobody said they wouldn't but if we were more direct we would win more games he bases everything around possesion stats but that doesn't win u games look at Leicester last year averaged around 40% possesion more games but had s defensive structure and hard to break down we lose the ball were all over the shop.

So Warburton goes, who do we get as manager, do we embarrass ourselves and stoop to an all-time low by going for Sheridan's pal, Davies or do we go for McInnes, who has done nothing at Aberdeen or some other second rate Manager, or do we turn the clock back and return for Macleish or Smith, the latter of who would most likely want serious investment.

Let's be blunt, Celtic brought in the exLiverpool manager because they feared Warburton and they have a significantly superior squad to us! So who, that is a quality manager, is going to leave a Club where they are doing well to come to Rangers when there is no investment and a lame duck Chairman!

Maybe we could put an SOS out to Souness and ask him if he can convince Kennedy to invest although I suspect that both would be happy to see Warburton remain and complete the job he started. The only big plus would be that with Souness as CEO and Kennedy Investment we would have a Rangers man that knows what winning is at the helm and a serious investor.

{Ed039's Note - investment is difficult right now because we can not put out a share issue and nobody wants to put money in while mike Ashley still had the retail deal tied up in knots, anybody putting money in now would be doing so with soft loans with the promise of shares in the future ...... that does not bode well with most serious businessmen)

Like one of the previous posters mentioned every game against us is like a cup final. Other clubs hate us and don't want to see us back at the top. I've watched the other mob a few times this season and teams don't sit in the way they do against us. Granted it's up to us to find a way around it, and by us I mean the Hat. The only real thing about the hat that annoys me is his unwavering faith in Kiernan. The guy is a disaster. Thought we looked much more solid when he was injured.

dont think its any longer a case of Rangers being a cup final to smaller teams, these teams now just know there is a good chance of getting points.

I think maybe we need to draw teams out to attack us and then attack them quickly rather than making 40 passes before we have a dig.

Good possession football is great when you have a world class forwards but I think the old saying goals win games couldn't be more relevant to us.

There are games we have dominated and got nothing from but being a bit more direct rather than trying to be took arty farty would probably win us games.

Why don't we be direct the first half or until we get in front then switch to a possession based game.

pure joke honestly the guy is trying to build something here at our great club.
he has to be given time to build it .
some people (stupid people) expect us to be top of the league the now. we are only two points behind Aberdeen and we have had a poor start to the season.
if anyone else thinks some1 else would be in a better position at this stage is we just ignorant to the fact we havnt played in the spl in 5 years.
give the man time to do his job and stop acting like spoilt brats.

I still feel we will improve and we will still finish a distant second . which is all we can ask for .
warbs has done a great job getting i9n the players he did with the money he had yes not all of them have worked out but the likes of rossiter windass tav forrester these guys are steals and we should appreciate what he does do instead of a poor start.

Agreed james stirling. we need to recognise where we have been and now where we r going too. if we get top 3 this year that gets us into Europe . ideally 2nd. We must get behind the team and manager.2nd season was always gona b tough. Takes a lot to wear our famous blue jersey. some players r only finding this out. windass rossiter and crooks will b big players for us. once the team gels we will get drastically better. Keep the faith.

Perhaps Warburton underestimated the quality of the SPL or he overestimated the quality of the players that he had at his disposal.

Put simply, the majority of players that we have are nothing special, most of them lack commitment, (few give 100% in every game) . They lack a winning material, they don't like getting 'stuck in' and they don't appear to know what it means to wear the Rangers jersey.

Due to a lack of investment and to date a failure to invest properly in the playing staff it is quite clear that Warburton has had to take a risk on signing players like Rossiter, an up and coming young player of quality but equally a player with a history of injury.

That lack of investment resulted in panic signings for a centre back when what was really needed was a quality centre half, ideally one that could also take on the job of team captain since right now we are leaderless on the Park. As a result we have increased our costs by signing two players, (Senderos and Hill), that have no sell on value and are hardly in the top tier of defenders in the UK today. It no doubt also caused Warburton to lose out on first choice players and end up with Barton.

We need to wait until January to see whether King comes up with the finance, and assuming that he does, (a dangerous assumption), then whether Warburton uses the money wisely to secure a quality centre back, a quality left sided attacking player and a striker. Of course if we need to supplement the King investment with further monies we could always try and sell Waghorn and McKay so we max out on their value before they are seen to be no more than Scottish Championship Level players.

This season was always going to be a F#@KER! Never mind all the crap off-field that we've had to carry, this season we have the goal of a top 2-3 finish and a Cup run, I can get my head round that easily and I was one who thought that at the beginning something better was possible :/ Anyways I've said my piece before regarding formations BUT Warbs has his preferred system and he believes in it AND it can work if the players are switched on and nail it, confidence plays a huge part in this system. After everything tho my two biggest worries are Waghorn and Kiernan! Wags has been posted missing in Prem games and I don't see him producing anything when on the right, even when Warbs doesn't start him he turns to him on the bench before the likes of Forrester Dodoo O'halloran etc I do feel for these guys who see someone consistently getting game time and not havin an impact, NOTHING! . And now the re-emergence of Kiernan who I really worry about.
As for Jan, all I want to see FIRST is an attacking Wingers with a LEFT FOOT!

Get rid of Warburton then sell Waghorn and McKay and play Michael Ohalloran and Joe Garner every week. Brilliant.

the ed is 100% correct we do not know how lucky we are with king and co willing to invest in the club while its still running at a loss and everything loaned interest free no bank finance company or individual would lend to the club with its recent financial history but it all will change for the better.

More like it today. MOH makes a significant difference. I just hope that we work on this as our starting eleven from now on. Much better performance than in midweek. A good performance all round even if Kiernan worries me overtime the opposition come forward.

Says this from the start what a huge difference michael o'halloran is to our team by far the fastest player in scotland i hope he starts against celtic at ibrox, reminds me bit like ivan sproule it hibs who allways ran riot against us and allways scored.
