If Warburton stays and we finish out of the European spots and well behind Celtic, how many season tickets do you think Rangers will see next season?

My guess, is that you can knock at least 10k of this year's sales.

And what if we do do get Europe how many will add?

Yip jammydodger, Bosshog is most certainly a cup half empty guy. Everything he says on here regarding glasgow rangers is so very negative!

If being a realist makes me negative then so be it but at least I am trying to highlight what is going on, rather than burying my head in the sand and ignoring all the glaring warning signs.

In your eyes has nothing good at all happened in the last year an half bosshog?

Yes some good has happened in that period but nothing good is happening at the moment.

Just remember my words at the end of the season as we could be in major trouble if we persevere with Warburton because our club can't afford to lose the revenue from season ticket sales.

If the 10,000 who you think would leave are only there for glory then they are there for the wrong reason.

If we did manage to qualify for Europe how far would we be likely to get?

Under current manager we wouldn't get passed the qualifiers, which means no money for next season.

I can guarantee the board are saying what I'm saying behind the scenes and debating if Warburton needs to go.

Biffo, try being positive. I understand your frustration but we are a work in progress, like it or not.

Rafbob

Can you please explain why you think that? Where is your proof that we are a work in progress? What signs do you see that makes you think things longterm will improve under the manager?

@RafBob - All clubs in Scotland have die hard fans who will go and support their team whether it be winning, loosing or drawing and in all weather conditions. As well as them, there are part time fans who only attend when they can or there is a big game on. On top of that there is a group who only attend when the team are winning things. The best example of this is when you see how many fans attend a cup final when their team are playing in it.

Therefore, it is logical to assume that if our team are not being successful, there are lots of fans who will stay away. I know it, you know it and the board know it. I am not telling you anything new here.

Now if you consider our current financial predicament, i. e. we are spending more than we make, it stands to reason that if we are not successful this season and as a result our season ticket sales plummet, we are going to be in a worse financial situation next year.

This is why the board need to give Warburton's position as manager serious scrutiny (and I am sure they will do) . They need to set the manager a deadline to turn things around and if he has not done so, then he has to be replaced this season and see if someone can salvage our season. If they don't do this, then we may find ourselves in serious trouble next season.

My personal opinion is Warburton is not up to the job and his tactics, system and style only work when you have a superior standard of player to your opposition. This is why it worked last season and not this season. Unless he changes the way we play and sets up the team in such a way that best suits the players we have, then there is only going to be one outcome. My only reservation about replacing him is that it is going to require a pay off, which at this moment in time we can't really afford. The best scenario would be some other club come in for him and pay us compensation as this would negate the payoff and allow us to get a replacement.
