i hope we can stay positive as i think we are about to turn a corner and i have no sources its just a feeling .

i think we will be challenging next season.



23 Nov 2017 17:01:03
8 points from possible 21 at ibrox, fixing that is #1 priority for any new gaffer, forget offloading this that or whoever just get a bit of steel about them and confidence instilled into our team and we will come on miles! More I think about it Big eck to end of season could be the tonic



24 Nov 2017 12:46:41
not eck seriously guys he is not the answer got us finishing 3rd when we where in a much better position than we are now



23 Nov 2017 12:08:29
when we get a new manager in they need get rid of pena herrera alves kranjcar rossiter
holt windass wilson freeing up signifant wages
for me we can get better players for the amount these are costing us



23 Nov 2017 13:21:36
Alves? Really?

I think Holt is a great squad player, he will be on hee haw compared to others like Niko.

Herrera has not been given a fair chance in my opinion, he's scored 2 goals and I can't even remember him starting one game as of yet? Pedro bought him for 1.2m or something and brought him on at 87mins etc, baffling.

I don't know why we don't try playing him and Morelos upfront a front 2? He's strong and likes to header the ball, could be perfect to support Morelos as he looks very isolated at the moment.



23 Nov 2017 13:57:05
alves good player but is getting on bit and wages high would be better with younger defender on lower wages with potenial and sell on value

as for holt is only squad player so could replace him with better quality in mclean from aberdeen

and as for herrerra he mite be a good player but he ain't showing it so far so would replace him with loius moult

we do need start playing a partner for morelos as miller comes to far back would make sense to start herrera instead of miller till jan to see how he does as miller not offering much just now



23 Nov 2017 13:59:16
Bear mode might not be that baffling - I admire the die yards out there that will support any donkey in the clubs colours - but I’m a realist and try to be fair - and from what I’ve seen Herrera and Pena are absolutely mince - give them all the chances under the sun and support them but if a player is a dud that ain’t going to change - and am sorry Herrera and Pena in the Scottish game anyways and for gers are utter single fish!



23 Nov 2017 14:05:18
Agree with bearmode herrera needs a run as partner with morelos! OP the first thing new manager needs to do is get the group we have performing as the should be as we have more than enough quality to beat teams in our league! The last thing we need is a mass clear out



23 Nov 2017 14:10:03
“Holt” and “great” in the same sentence, jeezo



23 Nov 2017 14:13:08
To be fair to Pena, when he plays he scores. Ok his fitness levels are not exactly up to scratch but the way he was going he would have scored minimum 15 goals this year, we are crying out for a midfielder to give us 15 goals!



23 Nov 2017 14:13:13
To b honest i don't think we can afford to go 2 up top unless we revert to a 3.5.2 as we’ve not got the players to play a midfield 2



23 Nov 2017 14:35:57
Think that's a bit unfair SG, I didn't say he was a great player, I said he's a great squad player, he's fit and works very hard.

Can anybody honestly say he's done any worse than Dorrans in his absence? He's been one of the best lpayers for us since playing against St Johnstone away, should have started behind Morelos instead of Pena in the semi final I think. And before we mention the Hamilton game, he had nothing to do with the amount of chances Morelos missed and the mistakes the defence made.

I reiterate, he's a great squad player.



23 Nov 2017 14:36:38
Pena is a decent player if given half the chance and he ups his fitness, Herrera must surely be given a chance instead of Miller, Alves is world class, Kranjcar was again off the pace but he can turn a game, Holt full of energy and a great sub, Rossiter is injury prone, good when he plays but that's not often enough, Wilson is a great backup central defender but Windass I would dump, he is lazy and fades out of the game far too often



23 Nov 2017 14:57:35
jzer the problem obviously lies with the players there simply not good enough can not win 3 games on the bounce we have to many squad players who are average at best so get them of the wage bill in sign 4 5 quality players at afordable prices and wages
and use the youth as backup as they seem to be good enough



23 Nov 2017 16:11:21
honestly this is the reason we can't get anywhere.
we need to stick with these guys and build a team from here not start over again from scratch. we don't have the money to be buying 7 - 8 players we have to keep this squad and buy quality to add to it .

honestly the guys wanting a mass cull either have no awareness of our financial difficulties
or have no idea how to build a team. either way its not the right move and is also not even a feasable option.



23 Nov 2017 16:27:13
Craigs8688 - a feeling of deja vu i think.



23 Nov 2017 16:56:01
If we can't finish a comfortable 2nd this year with that squad then there's something far wrong! According to some we have had a disasterous season so far yet we're only 3 points behind Aberdeen! New manager needs to get this squad playing with confidence again and we should finish a clear 2nd! Obviously pains me too say it but that's a good season for us!



23 Nov 2017 19:08:51
I think that both Holt and Wilson justify their place in the squad, decent players who won't be on massive wages, and probably would cost more to replace with on par players than we would get by selling them!



23 Nov 2017 19:35:13
Peds11 u say the people who want a massive cull of players again must not have no awareness of our finances or don't no how to build a team
all the players I mentioned are all on high wages and not guaranteed games pena Herrera alves kranjcar rossiter these are not just random players i picked there all high earners and should be moved on from a financial point of view and Wilson windass Holt I feel we could getter value for our money there as well



24 Nov 2017 07:11:25
So peds11 incase I’m picking you up here your suggesting guys like me who want rid of the duds and off the wage bill are wrong? And we should stick with these duds even though we know they will not take us to the next level? You says we have no sense of our financial standings? I’m sorry but with they duds shipped out we can sign better players on a free on less wages than - Pena - Herrera- Wilson - windass - dalcio - hodson - guys are stealing a wage at our club it’s criminal .



24 Nov 2017 12:55:52
what i'm saying is the players u think are duds are not all duds just look at ronny dialas celtic awfull players under him but look at them now that a couple of quality players have been added and confidence is high.
i think maybe yes get rid of a few and i mean like 3 players but not 8 players as we don't have a squad big enough to do that without getting in another 8 to cover and with the m, oney we have to spend we wouldn't get the quality that we need to make our team great again .

this has happened already and we are no better off now than last season.

we need to add maybe two-three real quality playerslike celtic did and this will in turn make a lot of those players we have already better!

everyone entitled to their opinions but to try get 8 players in to cover the 8 we will lose in your plan will not take us forward imo



23 Nov 2017 09:56:47
This might get a few people upset on here but if it's true that we are struggling to pay compensation for a manager then I say get Alex McLeish with Barry Ferguson as his assistant asap on a contract till the end of the season and see how they get on.

They are Rangers men and both have passion. I believe they could turn the performances around.

On a lighter note I would like to see Ridden and Akatai in the squad on Fri night. Maybe even drop Windass for wee Serg.



23 Nov 2017 11:01:14
Rudden has potential, imo he's very rough around the edges and not ready for first team yet! Barjonas should come in give us some energy and vision while Dorrans is out and atakayi should be blooded gradually in near future



23 Nov 2017 12:08:02
Why the hell would anyone want Barry Ferguson anywhere near the team he was diabolical at Clyde what would he bring to the table he thought he was bigger than the club when he was here no thanks



23 Nov 2017 14:15:57
Regarding Barry Ferguson at Clyde. Clyde are always going to be rotten, it does not make Barry Ferguson a bad coach/ manager. A spell as someones assistant is the best thing he can do. McLeish however is not the way forward but right now I would take him until the end of the season!



23 Nov 2017 15:16:33
Ferguson might be Rangers through and through but he's as thick as they come. I wouldn't want him anywhere near our playing set up.



23 Nov 2017 16:14:58
barry was a great players and would bring passion into the changing room i think but could also do with being under a manager like mcinnes

i don't think we will spend money to get a manager and that mark allen will live or die by his decision on who he wants to manage our club



23 Nov 2017 21:28:47
Barry would be a good coach al the managers he's played under and players he played against and you's don't think he learned a thing please. He threw himself into management too early if he was under the wing of a good manager for a few years he could go on to be a top manager for us like he was a player. The way our fans slate our legends is unreal



23 Nov 2017 09:45:59
Getting fed up waiting on the board appointing a new manager. 5 weeks without a manager now is a complete and utter joke. Barry Ferguson coming out in the press and saying that the fans deserve to know what's going on behind the scenes.



23 Nov 2017 09:58:49
Barry should pipe down.

The board are waiting on the AGM to pass Resolution 11, you know, to stop us going back into yet another financial meltdown. Mind that thing that happened to us about 5 years ago now.

Yes it's frustrating but at the end of the day we can't be spending anymore money we don't have, especially for the sake of a few extra weeks.



23 Nov 2017 10:08:00
Can the board not at least tell us roughly what they are up?

When can we roughly expect a new boss? Before AGM? After?

I thought they promised transparency.



23 Nov 2017 10:42:04
Can they actually act on a share issue if res 11 is passed due to awaiting result of TAB court case and not having a nomad or even being listed on AIM? Have asked before but no one seems to know a dedinate answer!



23 Nov 2017 21:12:27
i believe they can still trade shares, in fact shares have changed hands since eg fat mans shares. they can also if resol 11 is passed create as many shares as they want. problem might be who would buy shares since they aren't listed in any exchange
