I personally would like to wish our new rangers manager stuart mccall all the very best in what is a privileged position to be the glasgow rangers manager, we're all right behind you 100% slider, go get us promoted, stuart mccall IS a good head coach and he's one of our own!

12 Mar 2015 22:29:02
Agree totally and I really do think we will gain promotion through the playoffs now, something that I had practically written off with McCoist and McDowell.

Glad too that Stuart is not going to be involved in the forthcoming Scotland games even though I do support Scotland. He really needs all his concentration to be on Rangers at the moment.

12 Mar 2015 22:47:59
jr did u tip him or put a word in

13 Mar 2015 23:57:41
Bigwull I think mccall was the only guy jr never mentioned as the next manager.

12 Mar 2015 20:03:15
I'm not sure McCall will be able to do much before Saturdays game as he is only going to have 1 training session but I just hope he's got the balls to drop our captain and a few others my team for Saturday would be Bell/Robinson gk Gasparotto cb McGregor cb Wallace cb Hutton cdm Law rm Vuckic cm Templeton lm with Shiels, Clark and Gallagher up front so that would be a 3-4-3 what does anyone think

12 Mar 2015 21:14:28
He'll need to make a good few changes right away to show players and fans alike that he won't be slow in changing things when they are not going well. Clever touch to mention the 12 players who will be out of contract in the summer and how they would need to show him why they should be offered a new contract. Fingers crossed

12 Mar 2015 22:15:16
He done the right thing getting them in on there day off! Surely you should be training 2 days before a match maybe I'm wrong and that's the norm at clubs but I'd doubt it

13 Mar 2015 00:01:58
Hearts have the 2nd day after a game off, ie., play Saturday, in on Sunday for physio and light training, Monday off, then double sessions every day til single session Friday morning, Friday afternoon video and instructions of opposition next day. Seems to be working?

12 Mar 2015 23:15:12
Op the first team should be watching there peas and ques, the under 20s won 6v1 today, and seam to be doing really well working under durrant I think the new gaffer should be having a wee look over at them, maybe waken some of the auld guys up a bit, maybe the first team players should be getting taken to murray park to see what playing for rangers really means to the youngsters.

Craig,

As long as he removes McCulloch, Black, Smith, Boyd and Foster he should be able to get the rest of the squad into a shape of sorts. Good managers have a game plan and train their players in that mind set every day I am sure he will get them organised I KNOW he will get them fighting. Look at Scotland under his coaching with Strachan.

12 Mar 2015 19:46:26
i 'm wondering if there's any sense on trying to get the Newcastle lads for the first half of next season, and beyond if they do the business? just thinking outside the box

12 Mar 2015 21:16:22
I like the look of Vuckic and was impressed with Street before his injury. I'd be happy to see them stay on. As for the other 3, who knows?

12 Mar 2015 23:20:10
Noddy I think vuckic is a free player at the end of the season.

13 Mar 2015 14:09:58
Edward, I think he stands out from the rest. I'm not saying for a minute that he's in the same league as Gascoigne or Laudrup, but he has a little of what they had. He has a bit of a swagger about him, and I think he has the talent to come up with a little bit of magic that could turn a game in an instant. With the right players round about him. there lieth the problem!

13 Mar 2015 21:21:17
Noddy at least he tries not like most round about him, he is even seen trying to get the rest of the lasy feckers to try,

12 Mar 2015 16:42:04
Fellow Bears happy we now have after 3 years a new open and honest board plus by all accounts a very good appointment as temporary manager to give us the best possible chance of winning the playoffs in McCall

I am still hoping to get the Magath/McInnes or Cathro "dream team" in the summer BUT to be honest if McCall can get this team playing great football again and blood the youth plus get the best out of the better players that were destroyed by woeful management I think maybe McCall could stake a claim for the post.

Time and results will see that happen or not.

On a personal note I wanted to to say a farewell to my fellow Rangers SUPPORTING Bears on here from RR and Les who I met when I came up with flyers for the first protest at Ibrox to wee bill ,george/edward123 and RM Gers Stewie, Naz , Gers09, DOIGER , Edward, tommy, and even the Gimp. I only came on this Rangers Rumours site to post news on what Whyte was up to then Green and to try and organise a protest.

That worked as from the original 10 that turned up at Ibrox in August 2013 we grew through the SoS movement and eventually through fans buying shares and the EGM the crooks were thrown out of Rangers which was all I ever hoped for.

I do not have time for the non Rangers fans and constant detractors of our great club that only ever seem interested in trying to post negative rubbish against Rangers, Mr King or anyone they feel does not meet their interests you all know who these small minded people are.

As such having achieved my aims on here I am off to SUPPORT my club and I hope see us return to the top of the SPFL next year. I have money on it.

My wee sis has joined here and will keep my up to date on all the gossip/"rumours"

So good luck George and keep the faith!


As you know there is still some work to be done to conclude "the great stadium robbery" and I will be pursing this line to expose the sad few who still hide behind the badge! But karma usually balances itself over time!

12 Mar 2015 16:00:33
Kenny McDowell leaves Rangers.

12 Mar 2015 12:26:28
ok so after the initial hype what is taking so long for an official statement confirming the appointment?

12 Mar 2015 12:47:24
Wee bill is that the appointment of rs mccoll or jim mccoll, that's was you told me yesterday when I mentioned the new boss,

12 Mar 2015 12:52:51
Edward - my sarcasm yesterday was only aimed at your mis-spelling Stuart McCall's name!!
Lots of fans have made the same mistake on here -sorry, no offence intended

12 Mar 2015 13:12:56
Haven't u read the papers or seen the news, what is it with sum folk who need statements everyday?

12 Mar 2015 13:33:35
tommy 51 I HAVE read the papers and seen the news, and my question is only based on the fact that they state clearly that Rangers are to appoint McCall, NOT have appointed!! Obviously there are discussions going on and from a fan viewpoint having been let down so much over the last few years, it would be nice to know it's a done deal that's ALL!!!

12 Mar 2015 14:02:15
I think his wages are a stumbling block. He's been asked to work for nothing. Sounds bout right. Freebies that's wot u's deal in nowadays.

12 Mar 2015 14:20:24
Marty you add so much to this forum. Never, never let anyone tell you you are a saddo.

12 Mar 2015 14:40:50
Martybhoy. bout. wot u's. I would bet you think grammar is the woman married to your granda

12 Mar 2015 15:27:29
Bill I've no doubt there will be a statement when there is something to state, I understand ure concern m8, but really you have to give them time to get it right, there are contracts to be discussed, this only broke yesterday! McCall is at mp now talking to the board, I expect there will be a statement later,

12 Mar 2015 15:39:42
BJ haha, the auld ones are still the best!

12 Mar 2015 15:41:11
I agree with you Tommy - just getting itchy bum about it all

Wee bill

You have to calm down patience wise the board is just in the door and McCall was only just approached you do realise he has to agree a contract and that a certain Mr McCoist, Mr McDowall and Mr Durrant have to be told to find another cash cow to milk?
These things may take a day or two however I am sure McCall is already working on who to sling out our squad I am praying McCall drops McCulloch, Black, Moshni, Smith and Boyd permanently.

12 Mar 2015 20:57:55
Blj briłian mate, bill now that I know it was not my comment you were having a go at no offence taken, though you could have said earlier as I sat waiting on you mentioning mccall so as I could fire my comment at you lol lol.

12 Mar 2015 10:16:59
I see that a few of the serial doom mongers who vanished off the forum for a few days after EGM are back in righteous harness with lie detectors at the ready. what's the point people? Your record in punditry and speculation makes McDowall look like Pepe Guardiola. but, as Dave King would say, there'll always be some noise out there.

12 Mar 2015 12:48:57
McDowall look like Guardiola? Stop making silly comments and start talking sense

12 Mar 2015 12:49:05
Yeh, King's first non non-executive director appointment has been a great success it's up and up all the way.

King, where's the deeds, where's your forensic examination of the contracts? Where is your telling Ashley to GTF? Where is your transparency? Where is the 30 million, no 20million, no 8 million, no nothing you promised to invest?

Where are you King?
[Hint: South Africa, distancing himself from this clustermuck - one look at the books and he's vamoosh]

12 Mar 2015 13:31:22
Todays weather warning has a high chance of DOOM AND GLOOM heading our way folks. watch out!

12 Mar 2015 13:35:44
If your so disinterested why all the Questions? King and the current board must be given time. Correct decisions and analysis is key not rash and impulsive ones.
Normal accounts can take months to audit and suggestion is these are no ordinary accounts!
We as fans must support the team and let the board deal with the club in there own time and then answers will be given.

12 Mar 2015 13:52:17
I disagree Scotty.

They got into power on a wave of anti-Ashley rhetoric, whipped up the fans emotions, which they have failed in follow-through on when they got in.

What time does it take to go into the safe and take out the deeds and then say who owns them? No? Why not? King already knows why not, he knew before he went up the marble staircase.

They may not know the whole extent of the damage, but they know it's going to be in the tens of millions. They don't need time to work out every pound and pence to make a start, a gesture of intent. How about an advance of say 10 million, just to start reparations and building a team? No? Why not? Because King has no plans to put any of his money in.

So where's the great clearance of Ashley? Sure they binned the board, but now they are in breach of Ashley's loan terms (a loan which is NOT being paid back as a matter of urgency, despite what George et all said here). Can they tell us whey Ashley is still there? No? Why not? Because despite all the bravado, Ashley has Rangers tied up like a kipper an they can't.

All you're giving the board when granting them "time to do stuff" is giving them time to invent excuses, dawdle and renege on the things they promised before the EGM.

12 Mar 2015 14:56:02
Are you being serious Disinterested? You think the deeds are in the safe and the accounts are all on one sheet of paper with incomings, outgoings and a balance?? Your having a laugh man. If only everyone else's life was as Simple as your Disinterestedexpat.
There is no immediate rush to pay Cashley back.
Definitely no rush in investing 10M until financial audit is complete not merely glanced at.
So far I'm happy with how Mr King has spoken, the clarity and in the pending temp appt of another coach.
I hope u aren't as quick off the mark in bed lol.
Make your stay short

12 Mar 2015 14:59:51
Hey Stewie, remember irony is not an adjective like coppery or silvery. and what can I say expat, the board have had a whole WEEK, and they've not followed up. God, the lazy barstewards. keep the bile coming, mate, Nostradamus you ain't. and I confidently predict you never will be.

12 Mar 2015 15:43:49
Let's see how it all pans out LANI, I'm sure you will the first to apologise to me.

12 Mar 2015 16:48:47
Apologise for what, exactly?. you expect things to be moving in a week?Takes longer to read one of your labyrinthine posts mate. I'm a pragmatist, and are we better off than we were last week?, yes, will it be a long walk to Eden?, yes. but I will get behind King until we get there for he does something that is palpably wrong and damaging to do our recovery.

12 Mar 2015 17:14:59
That's the trouble LANI. Rangers is NO BETTER OFF than it was last week.

Ashley's debt? Still there. His hold over our retail? Still there. No money or credit facilities? Still there. Piss poor team? Still there. Crumbling stadium? Still there. Absolutely no visibility over who owns and controls the club and assets? Still there. Operation debts and little revenue? Still there. No investment plans? Still there. Being held to account by teams like Cowdenbeath? Still there.

How exactly are we any better off? You are kidding yourself, along with a major part of the support, alas.

If my posts are too hard for you to read, try increasing the font size, or else don't bother.

12 Mar 2015 18:17:47
Lemme see. Increasing font size won't make the tedious guff you post anymore readable, .so I'll join the vast majority of posters on this site and take the "don't bother" option. Oh and imagine taking a whole week to appoint a new manager.shocking.
.

12 Mar 2015 18:49:28
They're not hard to read pal, just incredibly boring

12 Mar 2015 21:08:05
Scot123 and lani ime with youse on this one lads, slight mistake though the new board are not in a full week yet, lol the last part was for expat.

13 Mar 2015 08:56:41
There we go, mob-handed again. Just because there are three of you doesn't make what I say go away.

The truth is that what I post isn't boring or hard to read - you just don't want your cosy bubble burst.

But it's going to burst anyway, so get ready.

13 Mar 2015 10:26:52
All you said is accurate disinterested. However, if you think all of the above should or could be resolved inside a week you need to check yourself into a 'special' clinic. Give them time to do their job, it'll take years not a few days. Get real mate.

13 Mar 2015 10:51:25
Some of it could be done right now. The deeds, and an initial token investment.

12 Mar 2015 07:01:54
Seen the Daily Record front page with banner headline "Lennon Bomber at Ibrox". Why is this the front page banner headlong when there is no trace of the " story" on their website? I wonder if its just to sell their 55p piece of sh#te. Terrible paper claiming to champion Rangers plight with the old board then pandering to the bitter fans of the other mob with headlines like this, surely there is more important stories that should have the front page or is there nothing going on in the Country or world wide so let's stick the knife into Rangers again? They have had 4 years of headlines and sticking the knife in, is that not enough?

12 Mar 2015 07:45:49
It's a newspaper it needs to do anything it can to sell papers, not a lot of people buy them these days lol. Don't let it annoy you most rangers and Celtic fans think it's biased against them when in reality it's just there to create a stir

12 Mar 2015 07:46:33
Who cares what they print mate?You got it right with the 55p bit, they don't care about Rangers or Celtic, just selling papers.

12 Mar 2015 08:49:12
Cheers guys but it makes my blood boil we have suffered enough its someone else's turn for a kicking surely, the BBC is the same they hate positive stories about Rangers. I'd bet that wee tit Jack Irvine was behind the story about Ghris Grahamreleasing it to counter the good news about McCall. II'd love to meet the guys who write it, I'd give them a real front page headline "Press man trampled in freak wilder beast stampede at Anderson Quay" sounds good to me, where can I find a herd of wilder beast?

12 Mar 2015 09:25:53
The guy that released the story about graham is the same guy that called mccoist a bigot!

12 Mar 2015 09:31:21
You could have jumped on the plane with Dave King.Getting them to Anderson Quay?I don't know.

12 Mar 2015 09:58:13
Got no issue with Graham, spoke up for club often during bad times, and publicly sorted out Speirs and others. Don't see how he could do our image more damage than than allowing convicted thug McKenzie back into Ibrox . How did that happen? It's guys like him, all through our history, that have caused us most grief. Couldn't care less about a cartoon. also couldn't Care less about Record. Can't report it if it doesn't happen!

12 Mar 2015 10:07:11
You can get two bog rolls for 55p you decide what is money well spent!

12 Mar 2015 12:11:40
So the problem isn't having a convicted sectarian bomber at your games or that you have a director who is at the very least racially insensitive it's the people who REPORT it that are the problem.

12 Mar 2015 12:24:23
Well you lot have got the whole establishment to worry about, haven't you? And a few names for you. Scepovic, guidetti Griffith. wonder what these guys are known for?. Know your history!

12 Mar 2015 12:52:31
Graham shouldn't be anywhere near the club in any official capacity. All he will do is bring embarrassment on the club something we don't need. His Twitter comment is not only racist and abusive but also speaks volumes for the type of person he is.

12 Mar 2015 16:14:06
And Lani I have no problem with any of their stories being reported, I blame THEM not the reporters, and I certainly would never advocate having the people who wrote the stories trampled by anything. I would have thought the people on this site would have been a bit more sensitive to such things .

12 Mar 2015 16:56:08
Think if you read my post, it says"if it doesn't happen it can't be reported". so I'm not blaming reporters either, am I? But the mock outrage directed at Graham is laughable. and it's a religious issue, not a racial one, unless people are offended by the inclusion of Jar Jar Bink's, the famous Gungan, in the text.

12 Mar 2015 17:36:56
And again Lani my initial post was aimed at the op, so your reply and answer are inconsequential.

12 Mar 2015 19:08:37
Kinda mugged yourself off by replying to them then, haven't you? This is a banter site, I believe, but some of the posts on it read like transcripts from the Nuremberg Judgements. Oh dear.

12 Mar 2015 21:13:20
Lani brilliant mate, your on the ball tonight.
