Never thought I'd say this again, it's been a good number of years since this has happened but. I'm actually excited for the start of the season again.

The past few years it's been "Here we go again" and although I've always supported Rangers I'd probably fell out of love with watching the games and football in general because of it.

With Ally, Warburton and most recently Caixinha as much as I've tried it's been so hard to care as much as I used to, the brand of football was average at best, often it seemed the players went into games half-heartedly while taking pretty hefty wages and not to mention all the other BS surrounding our club it's been incredibly demoralizing.

While the off field BS isn't totally finished our team looks better than it has in many years and the brand of football (so far) is looking good.

I'm excited for the new season and I hope many other Gers fans in a similar place that I am feel the same way and we can start pushing on and challenging on all fronts.

Lets Go!

Your post regarding last three managers and your disillusionment I can concur with but I notice you didn't mention board. IMO it was board who put Ally way out of depth and breadman and Caxhina in place to our detriment. You could say SG is marketing ploy but at least he is getting backed with cash and a team who want to play for unlike breadman or Caxhina. But I still question board in placing last two arses in positions of such importance causing Rangers to waste for number of years.

First of all Warburton was tipped to become a top manager and was seen as a major coup that we got him. It did start well but his arrogance and inexperience proved his downfall. Pedro was a charmer. He talked his way into the job and this is the only appointment I blame the board for. Warburton was a safe choice, Pedro was a gamble.
Gerrard is an even bigger gamble but at this point a gamble worth taking.

Agree Colster. When we appointed Warburton he was regarded as one of the top 5 young managers in England. He wrecked his own career due to stubborness and an inability to change his tactics. All he had to do was come up with a plan B for when plan A didn't work. But he was too arrogant to do that. Pedro was a gamble, it didn't pay off. Onwards and upwards. Finally looks like we have a manager who is prepared to move mountains to be a success and for whom failure simply isn't an option. I was 50/ 50 about SG to start but he's impressed me so far. Strengthened in areas we needed to strengthen and given a few players a kick up the arse. Looking forward to the new season. Let's go!

I have to agree with the Gerrard appointment being a gamble. As a realist, I am fearful that the Gerrard revolution will be a slightly more expensive version of the Ally revolution. Two untried coaches (yes I know Ally was weaned in to the job, but still untried) and the solution being to throw money at them. We watched decent players going backwards under Ally. I hope the same is not on the cards.

@Miller

I didn't want to really go into it with the board as my post was a pretty long wall of text already so kinda lumped that in as "Other BS surrounding the club" I suppose.
