These players are absolute shite.
Worst in history?
No pride.
Hope they read this website as Kevin Thompson at my work on Friday and even he would be better with ruined knees.
Total disgrace the way these players are representing us the fans who pay their wages.
Sick of excuses from these jokers.

Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.
24 Feb 2017 23:40:38
Murty been receiving " secret help"?
Not much good he "only saw Rangers winning"!
24 Feb 2017 23:45:56
Must uncover this unhelpful source
25 Feb 2017 11:50:03
Warburton I think, can only explain all Warburtons buddies still playing every game
24 Feb 2017 23:24:30
Yet another gutless spineless performance from a group of players not fit to wear the jersey. I watched Gent beat spurs last night. Gent had a team of players with fight effort and a desire to win. Everything this Rangers team lack. Murty continues to be as clueless as as Warburton. Have players like Kiernan Halliday etc got a clause in their contract where they must play when fit. Nothing else can explain their inclusion week on week. Murty had a chance to change a failed team yet he went with the same dross who continue to shame. Urgent action needed by the board and a mass cull needed of this squad at end of season
25 Feb 2017 00:49:59
Couldn't agree more.
25 Feb 2017 10:44:13
Why on earth Kiernan was back in the team is quite beyond me and why Wallace has not been replaced as captain emphasises how poor a bunch of players we have at the club right now. No guts, no fight, total failures, no winning mentality, totally lacking in commitment, find it funny while they sit on the bench watching the clowns on the park torn apart by a bunch of journeymen, what does that say about them if they cannot get in the team!
It is time for some of the young guys to be brought into the team, if they are not better than that bunch of chancers then they shouldn't be at Rangers.
25 Feb 2017 11:44:18
U can try and blame kiernan and Halliday as much as you like but at the end of the that was the worst performance from a striker I have ever seen. Kenny miller and waghorn are absolutely dreadful
24 Feb 2017 23:04:33
This is my first post and is borne from total (Toral) frustration. Our so called board took what necessary steps were required to oust a Management team that had in my opinion failed since the later part of last season. The magic hat was lost then. The board have jumped at what appears to be an opportunity to get rid of the management team and apparently quite rightly so, but in their haste put an absolute novice in Graeme Murty in charge of a team that's totally despondent and poor. His judgement tonight was PASH. I quote "Emerson Hyndman and Jon Toral were the 2 best players on the pitch" what was he watching? Toral has done hee haw since coming to Rangers. As for bringing on Garner with less than 2 minutes to go. what a joke and he's in charge of our under 20's WTF
I will renew my season ticket again as I love my club but how much more does King expect us to put up with? At 52 years of age this is the worst I have ever felt even taking the last 4 years into consideration.
24 Feb 2017 23:57:08
Truth be told, would Warbs have lost the points in the last couple a games. Maybe not. So what's a new manager to do? The defence is woeful, but the midfield does them no faves. They allow the defence to be bombarded. That being said RK is in need of serious re-training. His passing is absolutely brutal. Tav - practically a lost cause. The midfield has been hamstrung from the offset. Mega cash on Barton ( trouble maker ) Kranjkar ( injury prone ) Rossiter ( perma bucked ) Everybody would say these were all bad deals but hey let's give em a chance. Maybe not. So on to the forwards . Kenny aside, all guilty of letting the pressure slide onto the guys behind. I watch these guys get there chances an think how the buck can they not finish this. Is it because the environment they train in fills them with un confidence? Somehow? Forget DOF. Forget spending money unless it's a good manager and forget past glories . This is Rangers year zero.
Ps Hurry up and get your act together before mah team starts cuttin the budget accordingly.
25 Feb 2017 00:31:31
Oh and one more thing. Barry Mckay, the one shining light in midfield always gets 2/ 3 players on him but gets let down due to zilch midfield backup.
24 Feb 2017 22:35:22
Stop slaggging murty. he's only Trying to keep some normality with the players. The rangers squad are just not up to task. Any manager in the world couldn't get them to perform any better. Rough times ahead me thinks. Very pissed off teddy bear 🐻 tonight.
24 Feb 2017 22:55:39
Anybody and there granny could see we needed changes earlier, garner on in injury time?
24 Feb 2017 23:27:39
Murty = Macdowell. We need to get a manager in now.
25 Feb 2017 09:20:11
Maybe unfair to judge Murty as a manager but now that he has been exposed he should not be let anywhere near the under 20s. Football men with football brains is what we need not quasi professional career men.
25 Feb 2017 11:35:39
How Murty can say Toral was the best player on the pitch is beyond me, in fact i find it staggering. i honestly thought he was the worse player on the pitch
25 Feb 2017 11:38:58
Time he was out though, just maybe an experienced interim would somehow prize something out of this lot.
25 Feb 2017 11:41:55
Yogibear I hate to disagree with a fellow bear but look over the city, last year they were a team of no hopers, full of rubbish and written off under Delia Smith, Brenda gets hold of the same group and transforms guys like Armstrong and Forest (who's career at them appeared to be over) among others so it's not just about a players ability, he's a manager with the ability to put his arm around a seemingly average player and turn them around so it's not implausible that a decent man at the helm for us couldn't do the same!
24 Feb 2017 22:34:37
I can honestly say i am absolutly lost for words on what is happening, for all of my years that i have followed this club i can honest to god say that this, by a country mile is thee worst rangers team there has probably ever been, not a single one of them deserve to go outthere and play for that badge, and i for one am getting sick to death of paying The money which results in these guys getting a pay packet worth fortunes! Prime example of this is Mr halliday - the apparent Mr rangers? Give me a break i can honestly say he is one of the worst midfielders i have seen in modern day football and as for blue running through his veins, give me peace, u could not even lace ian blacks boots ya person n that's sayn alot! Sorry for the big speech bears but had to say it.
25 Feb 2017 11:45:58
Born to Follow: Nicky Law would walk into that midfield.
24 Feb 2017 22:10:51
Tell you what the best thing by far tonight was the great away support yet again. the constant singing and support makes me wonder that if that can't raise your game nothing will. gutless players/ rubbish hot support. everyone that made it take a wee bow
24 Feb 2017 22:21:10
Gotta hand it to the fans, never stopped singing as per, travelled hours 4 that poor display, when we scored ict put a striker on, murty done nothing, stinks
24 Feb 2017 22:40:12
We have no money! This is going the same way as before! Are we too big to die? I don't know what the financial answers are, but I know we better get our house in order very soon.
24 Feb 2017 22:50:53
I believe we will survive in fact i know we will
25 Feb 2017 11:55:01
Very strong rumours from lots of people I trust who seem to to think administration is very likely. Not usually one for posting rumours as I hate when people just make things but I know a couple of people with quite a few shares and apparently the whispers among shareholders is we are in big trouble finsncislly
24 Feb 2017 22:13:39
joe garner slung on on the 91st minute. is charlie chaplin in the dug out making these decisions! why do we always seem to attract people who could not run a piss up in a brewery (king and the board) . we are interviewing managers taking our sweet time when the team are getting humped like a bangkok hooker week in and week out. anyone else who runs a club properly would get rid of warburton and bring in someone like pardew, butcher, davies till end of season to stem the dying of the team. then interview for a manager in the summer long term, when u can take u r time. and get the right man. now its all going to be a hash and a rush, and we could get the wrong person and never progress. why are we always controlled by imbeciles. please god bring someone into our club for a change who actually knows what the hell they are doing, preferably with money-instead of us being run for years by the keystone cops. this team needs cleared out and some sort of youth and scouting policy put in place. we are rotten top to bottom. king if u don't have the finances or a plan or the stomach for this then please sell to someone who has
24 Feb 2017 22:30:01
Summit not working u tryn rectify it, na let's just play the same way
24 Feb 2017 22:10:52
Defenders- none of them good enough
Midfield- none of them good enough
Attackers- only McKay n miller get pass marks
Awful, awful awful squad of players
24 Feb 2017 22:22:53
Mckay was shite as well.
24 Feb 2017 22:37:55
Shite on the left when your right footed.
24 Feb 2017 22:38:24
Well at least Wilson didn't disappoint. he's always p##h and at least lived up to his billing. if that's the best we have at our disposal then Lord help us.
25 Feb 2017 11:32:11
So was miller
25 Feb 2017 11:38:41
Miller was mince tonite aswell, i actually thot kiernan had 1 of his better games tonite
24 Feb 2017 22:05:38
To the board
YOU have handled Warburtons departure terribly.
YOU did not give him money and I'm not convinced you have any
YOU have taken far to long to get a new manager
YOU have taken advantage of our support and love for our club
WE will be lucky to finish top six at this rate.
24 Feb 2017 22:14:58
For too long the fans have constantly went along with lies after lies! mr king this lies with you,18million spent! more lies
Poor poor side on the pitch and not Murtys fault!
24 Feb 2017 22:37:10
Know what u mean jones, all the best managers change depending on the situation so murtys got to go, can't believe what's happenin
25 Feb 2017 11:57:48
Yes your right Jones I've already told my wee boy there will be no season tickets next year until we get some honest answers about what the he'll is going on. I'm struggling to trust king n he will get no more money from me
24 Feb 2017 22:04:45
Plenty of effort. no quality.
Can't blame Murty he came in and was told to play the youths 433 and mirror first team, it's all he knows! He won't change it.
They must appoint an interim asap to secure 3rd spot. Someone who can organise us very quickly.
24 Feb 2017 22:24:31
That must be a very unhappy dressing room. Sky TV reported that Kenny Miller shook his head (in disbelief) after a touchline talk with Murty after the substitution of Halliday. The sooner this mess is sorted the better.
24 Feb 2017 22:34:42
He's got to much to say for himself for ma liking
24 Feb 2017 22:42:41
Scotty, how can you say 433 is all he knows? Didn't he used to captain Reading? I'm never managed or coached a football team but even I would know how to change formation. The guy may be there by default but it's still no excuse for being tactically inept.
24 Feb 2017 23:03:05
This isn't football manager Hugh. He's coached this system for a few years now and will believe in it. It's not as straight forward as just changing the formation, previous captain or not he has no previous management experience and has stated he doesn't even know if it's what he wants to do. Massive difference in being a youth coach following a phylosophy to managing a club.
He can't take any of blame for this mess.
I never wanted McLeish or Davies but get 1 of them now and then re-evaluate and appoint permanent in summer.
24 Feb 2017 22:02:53
Murty should resign and force the managerial issue with the incompetent Board.
25 Feb 2017 11:33:36
He won't he's a yes man
25 Feb 2017 11:42:33
You cannot blame Murty. He has no experience at this level. He is doing a good job with the youths and all of a sudden he has been landed the interim managers job. The players are simply not good enough to wear the jersey and there are not many managers who could turn it around. Its been a long long time since its been as bad. Personally cannot see us appointing anyone else until end of season due to finances.
24 Feb 2017 21:47:33
: Living in the west coast of Scotland everyone says it's swings and roundabouts and Rangers will be back. It seems like it will be a long road! Don't wait til they get 9. Do something now. If it doesn't work out at least we know we gave it a big effort!
24 Feb 2017 21:51:34
It's time Dave king got his bloody act together--- get over to Glasgow sort this embarrassing mess out or get himself out and let someone run my club the way us hard working guys and girls want our beloved Glasgow Rangers to be run. just put up or bloody shut up and it has to be now not when it suits him.
25 Feb 2017 11:29:52
I hope he doesn't think he putting my season ticket up, won't be paying it.
24 Feb 2017 21:51:30
People say we have to get a full team but you need to get rid of what is there. Who wants to buy Sunday players and pay same wage. Nobody. So maybe at a push 3 or 4 players might come in. Yes a few will leave but most of the garbage stays. Unfortunately we will be a mid table team for a few years. And from what I have heard from a few people in the know is admin2 is not far away. It's basically resting on getting to Europe.
24 Feb 2017 21:48:42
I had hoped Murty would at the very least implement formation changes and at a push swap out the poor players for the ones we never see.
I now see that the guy is incapable of this and we desperately need a premiership management team in to give these lads their confidence back!
I live to far to go to games when I want, I am envious of you season ticket holders but I don't envy the supporters who made that journey tonight!
Not good enough for championship nevermind second in the premiership.
24 Feb 2017 22:02:50
What's worst he is just like McDowall before him - he doesn't want to be there.
Just cheap option for board?
24 Feb 2017 22:12:07
I would respect him more if he left to be honest.
The guy doesn't want to be there because he knows it's above his skills and will end his management career before it has begun!
24 Feb 2017 21:48:26
Foderingham was the only player who deserves to be on the pitch tonight. Tav awful for first goal, Wallace given the run around, kiernan Wilson? Where do I even start. Toral is awful no touch or pass, Halliday and I Hyndman not too bad but offered little, McKay nowhere to be seen waghorn terrible and Miller also offered little. New manager in essential if we want to even finish 4th. Rant over.
24 Feb 2017 22:05:51
Agree 100% about foderingham, he stopped that being a major embarrassment.
24 Feb 2017 21:47:35
Congratulations to Inverness, to be honest we're not a hard team to beat. Let's be honest our players will not improve under the best manager in the world. They should be embarrassed playing like that, especially being televised. Maybe they will donate their wages to charity. We will not get 2nd place and I doubt very much we will achieve 3rd.
24 Feb 2017 22:26:03
Gor, again only rumours flying about but some might not be getting wages at the moment?
24 Feb 2017 21:43:57
Absolutely shocking. Heartless clueless gutless. Murty has no idea what to do. Stip Wallace of captaincy first of all. But in all honesty we will be lucky to win a game again this season. The full team apart from miller are totally hopeless. We won't finish 3rd or 4th. We may scrape a top 6. We could appoint sir Alex for rest of season would make no difference. Scream and shout all you like but when you have no ability or heart you don't just get it all of a sudden. I won't be watch this garbage anymore.
24 Feb 2017 22:06:06
Millers putrid also pal been a mercenary all his days
25 Feb 2017 11:30:24
Steiny, Kenny miller is our only shining light this season who is fighting like hell for the glasgow rangers jersey!
24 Feb 2017 21:39:33
Concern concern concern make no mistake aboutit we gona be struggling to stay in top 6 here we are officialy crap and a lsughing stock. if i was a director i'd promote u20 for few games can't be worse thanthd dross currently playing.
24 Feb 2017 21:43:17
Players are a joke
Manager is a joke
Board is a joke
Club is a joke
& they don't seem to care .
Can still be relegated?
24 Feb 2017 21:47:24
Rangers should get rid of all the loan signings and just promote some youth players. It's clear this season is a right off now so, let's bed them young lads in for next season. 2nd, 3Rd, 4th or 5th it doesn't matter now. I think it's clear Dave King doesn't have what it takes to control our club. We all seen the signs months ago about Warburton and his rubbish signings and dodgy tactics. Aim no expert but, I saw it coming and King and Co didn't. I'll only take £42500 per year to run the club, that's a bargain.
24 Feb 2017 21:56:48
RFC are in a crisis on three fronts namely the Team, the Management, and the Board. They have a responsibility to their main provider, the Fans, yet they shun dialogue and visibility. What a real mess.
25 Feb 2017 11:19:28
going to be some job for king to get the season ticket money, he won't get away with his old bollocks this time
24 Feb 2017 21:39:07
Was he playing for a draw tonight? One sub until the 92nd minute. This isb the worst rangers team I've witnessed.
Barry mckay 6 million? Aye ok
Danny Wilson looks like a worse version on Gary Caldwell
Kenny miller never lifts his head
The whole team is terrible. Not one player good enough.
24 Feb 2017 21:51:34
Don't take issue with Kenny. Beat rangers player by a million miles. Only player playing for the Jersey. Did you not sending the way he disagreed with murty when he mad the change and didn't change the tactics.
24 Feb 2017 21:58:52
But
1) they are "really good in training" during the week
2) they talk a good game and
3) always promise to improve
24 Feb 2017 22:09:28
I hate predictive text. I meant to say best rangers player and did you not see that he disagreed with murty's sub/ tactical change. Lol
24 Feb 2017 23:34:42
Seriously Danny Wilson / Gary Caldwell
Caldwell would walk into your team today with a broken leg
25 in a row haha. Can t be bothered laughing anymore as it hurts.
24 Feb 2017 21:34:16
Seasons finished the boards took too long to appoint a new manager were now in a fight to keep third place and the confidence will drop even more, i can only dread what they will do to us in march becausd this is a shambles the club has messed up big time.
24 Feb 2017 21:40:22
Indecisive board - "Rome is burning. "
24 Feb 2017 21:42:47
Can't blame Murty he's said he don't want job McDowall situation again. said last week they said to get somebody in temp with a bit about them too shake up things results like this were always going too happen. murty doesn't know how to change things he's not got experience
24 Feb 2017 22:11:25
King's fault
25 Feb 2017 11:19:58
If king thinks he's putting my season ticket up in price think again.
25 Feb 2017 11:14:29
King, your silence is defening
25 Feb 2017 11:15:37
rome is in ashes
25 Feb 2017 11:15:49
We are a complete embarrassment on the pitch, what decent manager are we ever going to attract to come and work with this bunch of gutless players and a chairman who is never anywhere to be seen, this is a major crisis we are facing, absolutely skunnered with this pantomime
24 Feb 2017 20:58:06
Why does murty think he's going too win games playing the same system as warns did if it's broke fix it get someone new in now he's not a managers worthy of the job interim or not.
24 Feb 2017 21:02:28
Murty best go now - clearly incapable and uninspiring.
I don't want him at my club - he should walk before he is pushed .
24 Feb 2017 21:57:05
do we know who picking the team could it be Dave King
25 Feb 2017 11:38:24
How the hell did Toral last 90mins. hardly found a Rangers jersey all night
24 Feb 2017 20:56:47
I even for a change. Dodoo and garner on for waggy and toral.
24 Feb 2017 21:03:14
Is he still getting advice from Warburton?
24 Feb 2017 20:48:40
I wonder if the board actually watch the games.
We are a a blo. dy joke of a team.
The opposition score first against us most weeks and we have little chance of winning after that.
24 Feb 2017 21:52:43
The managing director was at the game tonight
25 Feb 2017 11:17:58
Good to stick a wager on tho, at least that way you get something from it
24 Feb 2017 20:47:56
A chairman who stays away a team with no leadership a stand in manager who is well out of his death players with no fight we are in big trouble
24 Feb 2017 20:32:11
ITS THE EXACT SAME PATTERN IN THE FIRST HALF EVERY WEEK.
We come out and have a few easy chances that we should put away, but around the 20 minute mark we drop off and we let the opposition score so we have to play catch up, I swear this has happened the last few weeks. I'm done watching this garbage.
24 Feb 2017 20:41:36
Yes - why does the board let this continue to happen? Real change was required months ago .
No top three finish this season will be now be down to King and board
24 Feb 2017 20:52:34
I honestly think the board and the club have given up all hope for the remainder of the season, it shows in the way they play not one of these players looks like the give a toss about the club.
I'm sick of it, i can't watch this trash week in week out especially waking up at all hours of the morning to watch a game here in Australia. More beauty sleep for me for now on 😂
24 Feb 2017 19:40:44
Tommy wright st johnstone manager at inverness rangers game tonite. could be to scout as we playing them wed possibly. i think not personaly.
24 Feb 2017 20:52:04
He will have no worries .
24 Feb 2017 19:35:59
What does Halliday have to do to be dropped?
24 Feb 2017 19:47:16
Every player on the bench should start
24 Feb 2017 20:30:58
rafbob, and Mckay
24 Feb 2017 20:35:45
I thought Halliday has done much better playing in a more forward role. he is no holding midfielder
24 Feb 2017 20:36:45
Most of them to be brutally honest! It's a joke watching this team tonight!
24 Feb 2017 20:36:51
Blo. y typical that was coming - total domination yet 1-0 Inverness. Not fit to wear jersey
McDowell all over again . season written off top 6 must be board's target now!
Bet Leicester City will get a permanent manager before we get a temporary one!
Time to look at Board it's not performing.
24 Feb 2017 19:27:23
Kenny Miller says only a few personnel changes will help next season whereas DJ says to change most of the squad? Who do you agree with? I've got to go with DJ on this one, the squad needs major changes and it wouldn't surprise me to see 11-12 leave and a similar amount coming in.
24 Feb 2017 19:34:59
I'd say 3 or 4 at most
24 Feb 2017 19:42:22
I say around 7 first team players
24 Feb 2017 22:02:47
Id clear most put but problem will be getting folk to buy them or pay their wages. On their form they are no getting into English Championship, so lower leauges only as no other Scottish clubs (who would take them) could afford to pay their wages.
24 Feb 2017 19:14:13
This murty no got much e a clue either by the looks o things.
24 Feb 2017 19:32:20
Murty should stick to gymnastics bring back Walter Smith till end of season rtid
24 Feb 2017 20:59:10
There all not as good as i would like....
24 Feb 2017 18:36:57
Judge Warburton on what he has left (player wise) for next season - mmmmmmm, on the style he played - terribly naive given he did not have the players to properly execute a 4-3-3 . Last signings - exactly what was NOT required. Get the spine right (think Goram, Butcher/ Gough, Souness/ McCall, Hateley) and all of a sudden everything becomes easier. Barton was a gamble and he was unlucky with Rossiter/ Crooks, however I posted about a year ago about McAuley, Brunt, Grigg / Matt Smith - proven and trusted players who would've stabilised the whole situation.

It really frustrates me watching this rangers side atm. Sunday was the first time in all the time I've supported rangers that I wasn't raging that we conceded a goal. Almost feels like there's no point in even moaning about it as I've ran out of energy to do so. Second place is gone now unfortunately. I just hope this wreck of a team can hold on for 3rd place but I really do fear for them. The celtic game could end up double figures if this keeps up.
24 Feb 2017 13:17:45
Has anyone any thoughts on Walter Smith or a name that came out a while ago Pako ayestaran, names not been mentioned for a while,
24 Feb 2017 13:49:46
Let Walter enjoy is pension. Never heard of the other guy, sorry.
24 Feb 2017 16:33:09
Ayestaran was Benitez assistant at various clubs in Spain and at Liverpool and he was the manager at Valencia and his record was poor.
25 Feb 2017 11:36:13
Walter smith 69 years old today and was by far the best thing to happen to rangers. He should be director of football.
24 Feb 2017 12:41:57
Not a rumour, just wanted to get something off my chest as a frustrated bear like many others. Where do you start? New manager out of the ones mentioned i prefer McInnes as he has done a great job at Aberdeen. Not sure if the DOF is good but looks more than likely to happen. We basically need a whole new squad from goalie to striker but where will the money come from and what are the chances of the ones there at moment moving on? People say DOF has worked at Hearts but has it really? they are a season ahead of us in terms of spl experience and are they really any further forward then us? Personally i'd love Monk at gers but realisticaly it won't happen. Frustrations from top to bottom but no doubt one day we will be back but this next appointment has to be the right one and wether win lose or draw tonight it has to happen soon as so much still left to play for.
24 Feb 2017 13:56:56
Sorry but Aberdeen are piss poor and play unattractive, physical football. How has he done a good job?
24 Feb 2017 16:41:11
2nd in the league most seasons and won their first trophy in twenty years.
also getting through three qualifying rounds in Europe most years.
24 Feb 2017 17:35:28
They finish 2/ 3rd by default! They are lucky to have taken 3 points of us this year and we are posh!
25 Feb 2017 11:06:22
Good points jason. Also the guy is working with no cash and that physical football is what we are lacking. I would prefer unattractive physical football if it meant winning matches.
24 Feb 2017 11:10:00
Do you's reckon we'll see any changes for tonights game? I'd give Alnwick, bates and dodoo a chance at the very least and definitely get shot of halliday and kiernan. Possibly two of the worst players I've ever seen at the club. Also there must be one or two of murtys under 20s squad that would do a better job than the current mob? Thoughts bears?
24 Feb 2017 12:42:47
Have seen the 20s a few times and been inpressed with ashmore and barjonas who both play middle of the park also agree bates and dodoo should be given a run! Trouble being is it fair to throw the youngsters into a team lacking any leadership!? Ok bleeding one or two!
24 Feb 2017 13:26:26
Think we should drop mackay he looks like he's given up again! Think the pressure gets to him at times!
Seen the provisional squad for tonight no surprises in it so other than Houston none of youngster will play!
Center backs in squad are keirnan wilson and senderos obviously hill is injured! I wouldn't play keirnan again so think its got to be senderos and wilson
24 Feb 2017 13:37:07
Totally agree with your post Dunoon but have a horrible feeling we will end up with the same (or almost) bunch of gutless clowns as last week supposedly on the basis of"putting things right". The trouble with that for me is players like Kiernan, Halliday and most of the others can't put it right as they are simply not good enough and worse than that they can't even make up for their lack of ability by fighting and scrapping for every ball. Nic I appreciate your point about young lads like Ashmore and Bar jonas and it may be unfair to them to be expected to improve our recent poor showings but surely they can't be any worse than most of the current midfield and surely they would fight to play and stay in the team. Like I say though I don't think Murty is particularly ruthless and won't want to upset players in the squad who do a lot of their talking off the park (e. g. Halliday I'd guess) and so it'll be most of the usual suspects playing despite few of them deserving the chance.
24 Feb 2017 13:45:25
Nic 861, spot on Mckay should be dropped, right now we need players who really need to show they are willing to stand up and dig in when required and he most certainly does not have that. always unwilling to go into anything that could be 50/ 50.
24 Feb 2017 14:26:06
Would love to see changes like Dodoo and Bates given chances. Inconsistent as he is I don't think McKay should be dropped though, he's one of the few players we've got good enough to change a game and will only improve if we give him regular first team action.
24 Feb 2017 16:45:10
Cant you see mckays development is being hindered by playing in a very poor team! Its only my opinion but he looks like he's not interested and I think its down to poor man management he should have been dropped before when his form dipped, he is thought of as our star player and the expectations of some fans have taken there toll on him he needs the coach to put an arm around him and tell him he has a great future ahead of him and give him a week off get hiso head cleared take some pressure off and let him enjoy his football when he comes back in! Young players in particular find it hard when there low on confidence, and him playing every week and churning out poor performance is helping no one!
25 Feb 2017 11:10:10
Ok I was Just wondering what would happen if the all the players who are not performing were replaced with youth players?
How many players would it take before we were accused of fielding a weakened team.
I bet other teams would use this against us
24 Feb 2017 10:58:04
Only one of German side RB Leipzig and Austria's RB Salzburg will be allowed to compete in next year's Champions League because of Uefa rules on club ownership and conflicting interests. Drinks giant Red Bull owns both clubs. (Salzburger Nachrichten - in German)
24 Feb 2017 13:34:35
Of course a huge company looking to invest in us had this sort of problem. Just our luck hey
24 Feb 2017 10:08:30
To be honest I don't think any of the guys on our shortlist including de boer would be in Leicesters thoughts. They need someone whos been there and done this relegation battle fighting for every point fighting for your lives sort of manager. They just want to stay up. I think dicanio or dick advocaat
24 Feb 2017 10:03:28
Any thoughts on who will start v Inverness?
Fod
Hodson Kiernan Wilson Wallace
Windass Tav Hyndman Halliday
Mackay
Miller Garner.
24 Feb 2017 10:30:03
Canny start with 12 players no matter how much the establishment is on our side.
24 Feb 2017 10:42:46
12 players - might win a game then! ;)
24 Feb 2017 10:49:52
I know were poor copland but i'm afraid u can only play 11 players at a time
24 Feb 2017 10:55:49
I'd play Bates for Kiernan and Toral for Halliday. Also, as I keep saying, why not Burt in midfield (for Tav) and Dodoo for Garner. Apart from that I agree with your selection! lol
24 Feb 2017 10:58:45
wish we could play 12 mate
24 Feb 2017 11:07:03
wish we could play 12 mate
24 Feb 2017 11:13:00
i would like to see this team out tonight
FOD
TAV Wilson Senderos Wallace
Forrester Hyndman windass mackay
Millar Garner
24 Feb 2017 12:08:40
12 players - if we can't win with that, we are done for!
24 Feb 2017 17:07:35
Aye maybe your right tactical decision get on the phone to Murty. lol
25 Feb 2017 11:23:58
Hope it's collum then we could maybe sneak an extra player on.
Fod
Hodson bates Wilson wallace
Moh hyndman Holt Mckay
miller garner.
25 Feb 2017 11:13:25
Everyone keeps saying Wallace and Tav are 1/ 2 the players there were last season so technically we have 11
24 Feb 2017 08:48:16
What about Jim Mcintyre for the new he'd coach if there is to be a DOF?
24 Feb 2017 18:11:43
Rather have Michael Mcintyre. Lol
24 Feb 2017 08:47:13
Thinking back now Mark Warburton was never going to work out when i remeber his press conference they announced his signing then a guy proceeded to open the door of the blue room and tell him to go through and he went through the wrong door! Now if he couldn't even do something as simple as walk through the right door when someone hold it open for you and directs you through then it was always going to fail.
25 Feb 2017 11:13:07
So the selection criteria for the new manager are becoming clearer.
No ambition, as he is not allowed to use the club as a stepping stone and able to walk through the correct door.
What could possibly go wrong?
24 Feb 2017 07:52:57
What about Rino Gattuso as next manager? He would instil the fighting qualitys that we need! I think he is currently managing Pisa in Italy but for a chance to manage the famous Glasgow Rangers could be worth a shot!
24 Feb 2017 07:19:27
If we don't get our finger out all this talk of people like deBoer etc. etc. in London getting interviewed could have their heads turned. Leicester are certs to add all of the above to their list. Get something sorted QUICKLY.
24 Feb 2017 07:10:08
CLAUDIO RANIERI? thoughts guys. He'd be my top target. Maybe a long shot but you ask you don't get.
24 Feb 2017 07:45:13
REALITY CHECK! -we will not get anyone from the EPL or big names in Europe - - they are all used to getting 100mill transfer pot and mega million payoffs.
We DO NOT have anywhere near the money or (currently) the pull they would want.
The only reason Brenda is where he is, because of Champions League and the money it generates.
We unfortunately, are where we are, and have to operate in a 3rd class market.
