Here is my info, coupled with a couple of statements from Beale
Trusty rejected rangers as did arsenal, Beale says we would not pay price
Not interested in maja after meeting
Palma no interest our end
Haji wright rejected Scotland
Pantilla Columbia still on our radar
Cooper stays Millwall, definitely met Beale.
Panzo, interesting one we really wanted him, but not sure we bid.

John what’s your opinion on our centre back now window is shut? Do u think we’re weak.

Rangers desperately need a DOF Michael Beale is the first team manager and he shouldn't have to spend time chasing signings if it all goes wrong tomorrow it will all fall on him.

Mick Beale stated we don’t need a dof as he can do that job! He wants to be chief scout, head coach, spokesman, etc etc . Some on here were glad to see Wilson go now we have the bold mick chasing guys he saw having a good game at the under 17s!

KJB we had folk on here at start of window saying we didn’t even need a DOF.

Great info john27
Palma will be interesting to see how he turns out. If he's good for that mob most people will believe we tried to get him and couldn't, hopefully he's a dud.
6.) 02 Sep 2023
02 Sep 2023 17:27:36
If MB doesn't get a result tomorrow it maybe a new manager and a DOF we need, in hindsight allowing MB to identify all players maybe a mistake.
7.) 02 Sep 2023
02 Sep 2023 17:41:52
I'm hoping the failure to bring Palma doesn't come back to bite Beale on the arse. Having said that if Palma is as good as some folk seem to think he'd have had better teams in for him.
8.) 02 Sep 2023
02 Sep 2023 17:53:00
One Walter I’m not sure if your age. But u must know the concept of backing your team through thick and thin
But loads on here wanted Beale to have total control of recruitment.

Well, I hope Auston Trusty is enjoying his view of the EPL from the bench as an unused sub.
10.) 02 Sep 2023

Folks a DofF is not about formations or tactics or players fit therefore I don’t believe we need a DofF. Regarding Beale picking those players and buying them, I’m sure him and his coaches discussed the players fit to the formations being used. Very often on here there was confusion on whether Ross Wilson or the manager was to blame. Well if it goes great or rank it’s on Beale.
Another wee point. The board gave him the job to manage our great club, so he really should get to pick the staff. ?.

Stevie, I replied re our defence we require four starters by next summer, yilmas imo could be one.
12.) 02 Sep 2023
02 Sep 2023 19:14:21
Lazio, I'm sure he will be crying all the way to the bank!
John27, agreed 3 definite first starters maybe 4, yilmaz needs to up his game time and performances as well, but again ì agree, there is a player there.
13.) 02 Sep 2023
02 Sep 2023 19:28:07
Palma can’t come back and bite us as we didn’t offer him anything.
14.) 02 Sep 2023
02 Sep 2023 19:37:15
Lol it would all fall on him anyway it's his team he got what he wanted we definitely overpaid I told all of you that we had to knock back a few of those frees and wait to get some for nothing just to show we were willing, we didn't and it just sent out the message we were desperate to get players in and teams made us pay over the odds.
15.) 02 Sep 2023
02 Sep 2023 19:38:29
Don’t care what others think,
We definitely need a director of football to whom would work hand in hand with Beale,
In this day and age the negotiations and contracts are a specialised subject that require different qualifications that a football coach has.
16.) 02 Sep 2023
02 Sep 2023 19:41:29
I do think we need a DOF bearing in mind this role is more than just scouting. The current manager might like to talk to all the players himself which is fair enough but this week was the last in this transfer window and he had two massive games to plan for. He had to give them his full attention so how could he possibly have had time for last minute transfer business. We should have a DOF just a better one than the one who left us.
17.) 02 Sep 2023
02 Sep 2023 19:46:45
John I'm 51 and have followed Rangers all my life and maybe I read more on social media than you do so believe me there's many fans going into tomorrow who's patience with mB is running low and i its a combination of style of play the signimgs gthe inability to win the big matches thath has him under pressure.
18.) 02 Sep 2023
02 Sep 2023 19:48:52
Again don't see trusty any different to Davies and if he was that good why USA not interested didn't make USA squad
Cooper told everyone he was making mugs of us again we don't learn
Maja similar and did he not choose France over is before
Mantilla I'd a cracking prospect but if anyone did Thier research they would realise he is a player who will hang around South America a few years before coming to Europe
Panzo didn't want to come his preference is to stay and fight for place and if it doesn't work out will look for another prem or higher champ team as his ambition is to play premier League football
Haji wright not interested in us and fee was too big
Palma the interest was there but aris wanted more than we were willing to pay I believe this was only early interest nothing concrete similar to the feelers we put out for other players.
19.) 02 Sep 2023
02 Sep 2023 20:07:03
If yilmas does not up his game we need four imo bar.
20.) 02 Sep 2023
02 Sep 2023 20:16:49
Cool Walter. 70 years of attending ibrox and away plus europe for me
Majoryon here who r moaning about Beale were creaming themselves to get him in. Some on here don’t realise what can be looked up in archives
His starting 11 is vital tomorrow and imo the first goal.
21.) 02 Sep 2023
02 Sep 2023 21:12:31
It’s crucial that we learn how to defend. Get the basics right and the rest takes care of itself. Unfortunately we can’t even do the basics right currently.
I do hope I am wrong but it could be another hide behind the sofa game tomorrow.
22.) 02 Sep 2023
02 Sep 2023 21:25:59
Maybe people were creaming themselves John to get Beale in and it’s his job to deliver and I do worry about him although I still back him. The main worry is the tactics and the fact we still have the same defence as last year which leaks goals! Can only Hope tomorrow, but they are no mugs✌️??.
23.) 02 Sep 2023
02 Sep 2023 21:45:34
John I certainly wasn’t creaming myself and the thought of beale I still don’t think he is the right man but hope he gets 3 points tomorrow as we need it badly and so does he.
Gofor you did say that about frees but you were wrong then and you are wrong now. Also a free transfer isn’t actually free but you should know that with your knowledge ?♂️.
24.) 02 Sep 2023
02 Sep 2023 21:51:43
John he's been in half of last season had summer to rebuild yet we have no style of play many fans can identify with have the same back 4 who lost stupid goals since 55 except soutter have no real winger I'd want rabbi to show more for longer and has bought 3 forwards who seem to play same position and not 1 has impressed so yes he's got my backing but the evidence against is stacking up.
25.) 03 Sep 2023
02 Sep 2023 23:43:21
He won't get sacked regardless of what happens tomorrow, Pressure is always huge in a Oldfirm but end of the day win or loss it's the games against the rest of the league that matter, it's your away games to Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs and the rest of the hammer throwers.
We haven't been consistent away from home in almost two years now. Really tiresome hearing the same comments over and over again.
26.) 03 Sep 2023
02 Sep 2023 23:52:13
DOF nope just need a good scouting network a good lawyer and sharp accountant, no way we need another Wilson. The manager makes final decision on the player and the rest sort the terms, or we end up in a farce like Hibs and clubs like them.
27.) 03 Sep 2023
03 Sep 2023 02:59:15
If my sources are correct none of the above is true.
28.) 03 Sep 2023
03 Sep 2023 07:05:13
Only my opinion but i believe we', ll appoint a director of football and were probably waiting until the transfer window was out the way ?.
29.) 03 Sep 2023
03 Sep 2023 07:33:20
Coops am sure John posted that was the case ages ago.
30.) 03 Sep 2023
03 Sep 2023 07:57:44
We 100% need a dof, Beale too big for his boots.
31.) 03 Sep 2023
03 Sep 2023 09:54:21
Storm 8t is free in that you don't have to pay the club a fee you know like the nearly 2-3 million we paid for cantwell and raskin that won us nothing.
And your missing the point entirely
Think what did Alex Ferguson do at united when a player was targeted it was his only chance to sign for them it's about the mind games and dealing from a position of power
32.) 03 Sep 2023
03 Sep 2023 09:55:17
Lol John true on Beale but then again he always has been.
Like flapping his lips about transfers before recruitment team has a chance to do Thier job ?.
33.) 03 Sep 2023
03 Sep 2023 09:57:43
John in that case he will come tumbling down. Bennett’s job to sort that out.
34.) 03 Sep 2023
03 Sep 2023 10:17:57
DOF should be a respected football man not a wee fat annoying attention seeker.

Stevieg2 to be fair to John he did not say CB positions were fine he said Beale said they were fine.
40.) 04 Sep 2023
04 Sep 2023 17:39:45
I know it's not free but it's hell of a lot cheaper than paying clubs over 4 million in fees when we have won nothing off the back of it when we could have waited 6 months.

Keep herring it's about long term planning yet our club taking short term approaches.
