Judge Coisty when he has HIS team on the park. I don't think Edu and Broadfoot are part of it so let's give him a chance. Also do you think Whyte would invest money into the Gers as a hobby, it's a serious investment he's not in it to lose money. Get behind your team.

100% correct. its not allys team at the moment and whytes not an idiot, lets let the dust settle and see whats been thrown up.

Ed, can you stop letting posts through like that one about Davis taking over as manager. We no it's a rumour page but ffs that is not a rumour that's just someone making up rubbish. Ed007 would never never let anything like that get posted without a source.

ed - anything on the vultures circuling ibrox for our best players.
Rangers boss Ally McCoist admits he could be powerless to prevent his top players being sold now that the club are out of Europe. (Various) (bbc gossip colum)
if so did we tie up whits, shagger, and davis in deals to up there value.

Person who said that Jelavic isn't as good as we think because of Euro appearences, the whole team was shocking in Europe this season but saying Jelavic isn't the calibre to be able to score at a higher level is wrong he scored alot of goals for Rapid in Europe against Aston Villa etc who are a very well established EPL side, he scored against Chelsea albeit a friendly but he still scored. Jelavic is definitely as good as we all think and that's without not seeing his best yet. Rangers forever

is it just me or is anone else wondering where both wallace and papac will fit into a fully fit rangers team? papac has been consistently good since moving to left back, and wallace has the potential to be a quality player but we now have quality in the wide left with wylde. not sure why we went for bocnegra we already have a pensioner in weir. would been better getting the winger in for europe. think the boy perry played well in the games i have seen him. think the big centre half wil be great signing.
would love to see murphy from motherwell come in and also a goalscorer on loan but cant see it. would like to see the following team
mcgregor
edu, goin, bartley, wallace
bedoya, davis, mckay,wylde
naisy
jelavic
but only my opinion

Believable3 Unbelievable2

Why are so many of u tring to find a place for edu? hes mince, hes not a midfielder and certainly not a right back

Whats happened in europe this year is a bummer but in every knock out cup compitition all over the world clubs get put out by the so called diddy teams and sooner or later it would happen to us as well but we've been carrying the scottish clubs co-efficient for years now with no help what so ever and no praise from our own media but they wait in the wings to slate us as soon as we fail , us being the greatest club ever will be back stronger than ever doin the bisness as usual , we've just hit a bit of a difficult time at the moment as all the massive clubs do but weel sort it out eventually a know ally (who am dyin tae succeed kos he is a legend ) and whyte aren't evrybodies cup of tea among a few of the players who av criticised myself on this site but its what we've got at this time so lets get on with it , weel pish the league and make amends in europe next year , we woke up bluenoses and weel go tae bed bluenoses am no sayin the club and staff are above criticism its just we need tae cut them some slack the now lets judge them all when the years out W.A still T.P after all we need tae get behind them bigtime , a know a lot of bears wont maybe agree with this post but so f*** its what I think jd

Not so much a rumour more of an opinion. There are only a few more days to go in the transfer window for mr whyte to prove his commitment to rangers. He said " judge our transfer dealings at the close of the window not when it has just opened". It now seems to me that with the exits from both euro competitions craig has been handed a get out of jail card as he can now turn round and say we cannot justify further investment.
It seems that the reservations of many gers fans about mr whyte are coming to fruition, he is turning out to be our michael knighton( but manchester utd found him out before selling to him) .
I hope im proved wrong

For the good of Scottish football we must get behind Scotland to get to the euros and as much as I hate saying we need some team out with the old firm to win the title this year just to remind all fans the meaning of winning we have had this far too easy since the sheep last won the title , then maybe just maybe there will be a cash injection into the spl by sky ? Other poss would be to make a complete British cup 1 game knock outs with every club entered at the first round.

Believable3 Unbelievable2

British cup with 1 game knock outs.
how many scots clubs would make the 2nd round?

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree with the british cup thing. It would give us a decent estimation of how good the old firm are against the premier league. Would end some heated debates i've had with mates from england. However, it wouldn't be seen as a priority by english clubs - like that uk cup thing this year unless there was a huge investor but how likely is that?

Agree0 Disagree0

The English clubs would probably want entry later in the competition I.e the knockout stages, and they would want it all held down there plus for good measure they'd Only want oldfirm in it .

Agree0 Disagree0

England wouldn't entertain it they see scottish football as a 2nd rate joke, c'mon lads

Yeh it wouldnt improve englands league just ours look at the welsh cardif amd swansa its defo improved them ?

Would all bears, please stop moaning and get behind the teddy bears we are forgetting what it is all about who ever plays for us, who ever we face we must stand together to make Ibrox a fortress once more. For too long boos have rung out around the stadium whenever a result doesnt go our way

thats not us we must drive our team on every game, to ensure we dominate once more, do not go to the matches if you are only going to moan and boo, in that case you have a cheek calling yourselfs supporters

whatever money ally gets, whatever team he fields, whatever happens this season i, as im sure you all are am RANGERS TILL I DIE

Really love Rangers, what a club. Just wish we would sign another striker, i'm more than comfortable with the squad we have just now and think we're more than capable of winning the league again as were the best team in Scotland quite clearly although it was a major embarrassment with the Scottish teams getting out of Europe. Nobody can blame Rangers though for the last few years we are the only club who have represented Scotland and done reasonably well in Europe despite crippling debts.

I think Jamie Murphy would be a great signing he's only 21 and has a great future ahead and is also surprisingly a Rangers fan.

Lets take a look at the EPL teams that would want to or could sign Jelavic.
Wolves-Jelavic wouldn't go, spent 7 mil on defender.
Man City-Do they need another striker? Nope.
Man Utd-Haven't sold Berbatov, Jelavic wont play.
Aston Villa-No money. Mcleish's words, not mine.
Wigan-Ha Ha. Don't make me laugh. Relegation.
Liverpool-More likely Dalglish will go for Hooper.
Chelsea-Can't even fit in Drogba, Torres is better.
Newcastle-Will not stump up the cash.
Bolton-Just bought Tuncay, don't need Jelavic.
QPR-Jelavic is at the real Rangers. Relegation.
Norwich-Same as Wigan, Lambert may want Hooper.
Stoke-In Europe but have enough strikers.
Sunderland-Bought a tone already, doubt the cash.
Arsenal-Would be looking for proven Euro striker, but is the biggest possiblity out of the lot.
Fulham-Most we would get from is what we paid.
Swansea-Same as Wigan.
Everton-No Money.
West Brom-Just bought Long, do not need Jelavic.
Blackburn-Just bought Goodwillie, don't need more.
Tottenham-Adebayor, Crouch, Defoe, Livermore.

Believable5 Unbelievable1

I think jelavic would only leave for team that's got champions league ,he'll be here for another couple of years yet....

Agree0 Disagree0

You're clueless mate. For a start, Jelavic isn't good enough to play for Arsenal. He's as much to blame as anyone else for our Euro failure. And Jake Livermore is a midfielder.

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree with above jela would be average in the epl the standard of the spl is like the bottom of championship scotland has to many small clubs

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2011 14:52:03
To the people that say Whyte should go. He will leave but not just yet. If you look at the way he has made his money is he takes on company's that's in trouble gets them back on their feet then sells them. He's in the same mould as Fergus McCann. So he's going to be here for at least a couple of years yet. The transfer window shuts on Wednesday night you never know they might be a surprise. That's when Rangers normally do most of their transfers. I hope so anyway.

Jelavic is NOT the 2nd coming, good strikers turn chances into goals, he misses WAY too many opportunities.
Too many peeps on this page seem to think he is Ally reborn, HE ISN'T
McCoist, Hateley, Arveladze, Billy Dodds, Rod Wallace could all score goals but there status was maintained by being consistent
Simple tactical observation, if we break forward in numbers(last ten minutes of the Maribor game) we bring the markers with us therefore flooding the area with bodies.
We need a player who can hold the ball up, lay it off and midfielders who can score a peach.
It's fitbaw 1-O-1, not rocket science.
I think we have the squad to take the title but Ally needs a good No2 at his side.
I don't think McDowall or Durrant are vocal enough on the pitch, the entire management team seem a bit timid.
And lastly, if we have faith in the kids who have good experience in europe with the Scotland under 21s, why dosen't Ally?
They have not let us down so far, time to revamp the midfield with our up and coming talent so that next year we will steamroller teams like Malmo and Maribor as we should have.

Bawjaws.

Believable4 Unbelievable3

I am not saying Jelavic is a god but if u think u have the answer with your rocket science u are wrong if the area is full with bodies it is difficult for any player 2 hold up ball in crowded area and lay it off for any midfielder to score a peach through a crowded box what you need is someone beside him who can beat a man 2 create space during the game we had big laff & jelavic both strikers who come deep 2 get the ball none of them in the box when healy came on it's the only time we looked like scoring not exactly some1 who is going 2 beat a man but he knows how 2 find space by losing his marker like SUPER ALLY u are the first person I know who wants his midfielders to get the goals so stick 2 the champs manager and lastly the kids have not let us down but ness & mcmillian were injured and would have played if fit & another thing every1 of the strikers u mentioned went through a baron spell at some point in their career just like jelavic is just now

the only person that should f*** off is Whyte, he said he was gonna spend 18 mill this transfer window, where is it, he cost the club 15 mill for failure to get to group stages of CL, if he had spent decent money insted of 300k for crap like Ortiz, he has to take the blame not Ally
Hemed, Conway, Goodwillie, Danns, Cuellar, etc, all signed for others cause he offered s**t money to the clubs and s**t wages, so f*** off Whyte, your a failed businessman, with several bankrupt businesses behind you, RFC should not be next

Believable0 Unbelievable4

Failed businessman? Are you for real? He's got enough money te do what he says but with all the tax stuff sitting over our head would it be bright te spend 18 mil? I'm just as disapointed as the next bear about our europe display butminus Miller what was differn't from last years team? I think the players have lost heart and drive wouldn't matter who we brought in if the rest of the team watch the game happen. We see glimpses of what we can do but no consitency what so ever. But I also don't hear or see the heart in the stands either. You watch the last game of last season and you hear the fans and feel the support. Where are they now?

See mccoist is worried that players could be sold before window ends. This completely confirms that the players signed on long term deals were signed so we could get decent money for them.

Whyte is full of it, where is the money promised? We have all been duped big time and mr w is a charlatan. He has only one intention to fill his pockets and get lost. Last year the bank spent £5m, this year £1m. The papers should be full of who we are after before Wednesday, but no, we are still concerned who we may lose. If he thinks this squad is good enough he is deluded. This squad needs pace and class, not sales.

It astonished me that once again the rangers fans are not demanding more, we seem happy to accept this crap. This must be the least impressive performance by any new owner that I have ever heard of. You would think that he would want to make a good impression in his first year. He should be renamed mr tight. Do you what you said, give ally a chance and get the purse strings loosened.

So far his display in embarrassing, stupid bids were made to appease the fans. They never had any intention of spending money, he is going to wait until we are in administration, buy back Murray park for a song and sell it for a huge profit, then he will be on his way.

We claim to be the best fans in the world and we are sitting back watching mr tight and accepting this nonsense.
He promised money on the team - not happened, he promised money on the stadium, well still could not get a pie on thursday as ovens were broken - not happened, he promised screens - not happened. Meanwhile a week after taking over he got his hands on £12m season ticket money. Net outlay so far - £1 and £1m on players, net income - £12m plus.

The failure to progress in two European cups is not because of the state of Scottish football, it is because mr tight is a con man.

Believable4 Unbelievable2

U mean Mr Whyte

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2011 11:23:39
Feel heart sorry for Ally, believe he has been short changed by Mr Whyte. Recent acquisitions only go to show that we can't improve a threadbare squad which, has performed well in the last 3years, with bargain basement signings. Signings which are no better than the players within the squad. Only Goian looks as if he could improve first team. Can't decide if Mr whyte is either a charlatan, dinning out on the prestige of being the chairman of Rangers ( how do you think he managed to get the blonde at his side) or whether he fancies McCoist as a manager.
For a businessman not to see the greater financial benefits from being at the top table in Europe is very strange. Surely alarm bells should have been going off when we failed to beat a poor Malmo side. No European football spells huge financial loss and I now fear that the better players will depart to offset this. Being the best of a two horse race now is all we can hope for but surely Challenging in Europe is where we can not only generate better income but attract players of the standard expected. Surely this is where should be aiming. A better team in Europe would also have the strength to win domestically. Hopefully we are not at the point when the be all and end all is being the best in our own city. Time to stop being so parochial and develop a team which can compete and win against the also rans in European football. If not then I can see crowds dwindling and finance becoming even poorer.
The ball is in your court Mr Whyte, do you stick or twist??
BB27 {Ed025's Note - nice post pal...i agree with all of that..

Believable7 Unbelievable2

Probably the best and most accurate post I've ever seen on here. Couldn't find a single thing to disagree with in there. 100% agree with all of it. Nice one mate.

Steven

Agree0 Disagree0

I for 1 could not find anything to disagree and if we now sell any of our top players like jella or shagger then the fans need to start thinking of some sort of action against the owner and the board, we cannot afford to let this happen to our wonderful club as we have history, success as glasgow rangers football club. Also lets get rid of the deadwood at ibrox, edu, clubfoot, weir (thanks for the great service) but he is nearly 42ffs, give the youngsters a try, look at last week v motherwell, best we played all season. The fans will have a big part to play in supporting the team through this troubled time but the BOARD NEED TO GET A DECENT STRIKER NOW. PAY UP AND BE FAIR TO THE FANS MR WHYTE. According to him the season tickets are up on last year so where the f*ck is the money. WATP andygers74

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree with the post in so far as the benefits of being in Europe are concerned however I believe that Whyte is holding off making any major investment in the team until the outcome of the main HMRC case against us is known. Ultimately, the team that Ally put out on Thrusday, with perhaps the exception of Ortiz, should have put them away twice or even three times given the number of chances we had. It just wasn't our night and no amount of crying will change that. This early exit from European competition will now force a major shake up of the game in Scotland and I'm sure all the teams here will be the better for it. We have started to see a move in the right direction with the Scotland A team and also the U21's and hopefully this can be replicated in the domestic leagues.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Aug 2011 11:06:05
Let's be honest, our best bet for new faces this season will be loans. Now we are out of Europe (cheers for that Mr Whyte) no big teams will be interested, their players wont get much better playing in the SPL So it's loans from laeesr teams or buy's from clubs that will only be good enuff for squad players... or, we could let the youngsters get more involved, not just thrown in when there are injuries. I really believe we have a great crop of youngsters. Let's blood them this season, give them a good run in the team.
4 in a row, here we go

to all the doom and gloom merchants out there yes we got put out of europe but thats life you win some you lose some SPL is still our priority ..give the team a break a few weeks time if we beat celtic everything will be sunshine and roses again no doubt . so stop slagging the players remember we are called supporters because we support our great club . i for one will be at ibrox on sunday giving my all to support the boys ....bigt

Believable4 Unbelievable2

Yes we are all supporters and support a great club and will continue through thick and thin. I will continue to watch and give the team backing but surely we still can give an opinion on who's up to the task and who's not. Beating our rivals and winning the league is a priority every year but with the present standing of Scottish football it is paramount that we perform in Europe on a consistent basis year in and year out. Failing to do so reduces our capacity to attract better players. Winning or playing in the SPL is not the attraction to these players but playing CL football is. This is where we need to be or being the best in a two horse race every year will become mundane

Agree0 Disagree0

See you there mate :)

Why would we have to attract better players if we can nurture our own?

27 Aug 2011 10:30:27
Ally needs time to get the team settled if not given the time all you so called rangers fans will do is just abuse the next manager then the next. Whyte has given Coisty the chance to prove himself and im positive he will. Wee need to get behind our team and stop complaining. You all seem to forget how bad it was under Le Guen and he was given until January he was manager for 31 games and only won 16 and lost 7. So give the great man a chance to shine, a chance to prove all you doubters wrong, a chance to become a Rangers Managing Legend but everyone needs to stop being so negative, yes we are out of Europe and not getting the windfall of cash that would give but Whyte will invest more to ensure we win the league and cups {Ed025's Note - good stuff mate..

Believable2 Unbelievable3

You know what? If you really are on Allys side, you need to be VERY carefull with your Le Guen comments. PL had a great record for us in Europe, It was his domestic results that were a problem. If AM is not carefull he will have a worse record than PL. What will you want then? A statue?

How many times do we have to listen to the so called rangers fans slag the team. The point is we where just not good enough. Nothing to do with the Manager Ally or Mr Whyte. We put offers in for players they chose not to come.

Apart from Edu who i think is just not good enough to be in the Rangers team but as long as he wears the jersey he will have my support.

Think a striker from the Championship will be all we can expect to sign and another midfielder don't count on Erimenko. As for Jelavic from his body language at end of game would not say he would be there much longer but would love the big man to stay get support up front instead of him doing the supplying.

Come on get behind the team and the management as long as they are there they deserve our support we are Rangers remember

Believable2 Unbelievable2

We put in offers but none were anywhere near acceptable so the players didn't have a choice.

But your right were not good enough.

Just don't get this blind loyalty thing Fair enuff, support the team through thick and thin, go to every game you can, sing the songs and wear the shirt. But don't complain? Don't flag up OBVIOUS failings for discussion? Don't question wether certain people are the best for the club? Get a grip Even if Mr Whyte IS reading this site, he's not going to come round yours and pat you on the head mate... If it's sh*t, call it sh*t. Not on the terraces, but in the pub? Here? Of course

Agree0 Disagree0

FFS He was a legend, yes. I hope I'm wrong, I really do but that man does not fill me with confidence. He really should have set off on the path that nearly all good managers have, learn his trade at a couple of smaller clubs, THEN slip into the Rangers suit. I will never slate the man or the team at Ibrox or any other football field, but please don't tell me he's a legend and that that will make it OK. It don't work like that mate

Stayed off this site so's I would be calmer and moar objective...
Nearly 7hrs for me to get there and back from Ibrox and the best part of £150 (that I can't afford) so, yea I'm pretty pissed off
so, before all the pot lickin' give me a medle coz I'm the best supporter EVER mob start, I don't think McCoist should be canned. Not yet. The only reason he will be at the club by the end of the season is Lennon He is worse than Ally...
I blame Whyte. Consider this:
If he had spent the 6 or so mill to get the 3 players Ally asked for (remember the 15mill warchest he could not wait to tell the papers about?) ther is a good chance we would be in the CL draw. Our top players would be worth more as assets due to playing in a better shop window, and it would be fair to say we would be in a better position to win the league and thus gain automatic CL entry. With me so far? That, im my estimation put's us ££40 mill to the better. Tigh that to the fact Celtic are in the grubber and we could have been looking at ANOTHER 3 years of dominance...
Mr C Whyte, top business man or man with an agenda? You choose...

Don't honestly know how all of you are saying "lets move on from the other night" ..

We have been put out of the TWO european championships by teams we should have destroyed in the first leg of each game. We lost to Malmao - that was just embarressing.. but then we lose to Maribor .. thats just ridiculous.. we are a laughing stock and we do need a manager who can kick the players into shape.

Don't care what the rest of you say, ALLY MCCOIST HAS TO GO.. the rest of you are only saying he shouldnt go because he is a Rangers Legend, any other manager bar Rangers Legend, and you would all be screaming that he was sacked.

McCoist has to go. {Ed025's Note - he,s only had a handful of games FFS...give the guy a break!

Once the 2 new guys come into the team we will have much more like a decent squad TF, but I worry Jelavic looks so disinterested at the moment, he forced his way out of Vienna remember. Reckon ortiz will do ok if used in a more central position, likely as a sub. Edu has had enough chances and enough is enough now. Broadfoot should be told he won't be a regular starter and allowed his wish to leave if that's the case. Not sure who we can get up front, or who is willing to come, and think Eremenko would add something to team. Just my thoughts this morning folks

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Broadfoot is decent enough for cover. The guys rangers through and through and plays with his heart. It looks like we may well have a few more defensive crises this season so i think we ought to keep him around for that possibility. Muzz

Alastair mcoist will need plenty of time to get thing right at Ibrox but I believe he has a vision of
what he wants to create teamwise and
I hope the hell you give him the time,
hes due that ,he has circumstances which are against him at the moment but he will
get through that Rangers have always
kept managers long term..with the exception of Le guen whose career has had its ups and downs too
but otherwise we,ve had fewer managers than most clubs one needs time to create stability
and thats what rangers have been founded on. {Ed025's Note - good post mate..

''Don't judge Whyte etc until the end of the window'' Well, unless there is one hell of a breathtaking rabbit or two pulled out of the hat, my judgements won't be mild or polite.

Ever heard the saying rome wasnt built in day? i guess not we can bring top players because of wages and the fact the spl is a mickey mouse league-we were desperate for staff so we brought in numbers next season it will be 1 or 2 better players,broadfoot,weir and a few others will be off the wage bill freeing up money-whyte has saved us from lloyds we`d be well and truely f***ed with out him just now as nobody wanted to buy us

Am i the only one who thinks there has been a bit of an over-reaction to the European exits of Scottish club? I think to say our football has dropped in standard is probably right but not as badly as everyone suggests at the end of the day you have to take into account that Hearts were playing one of the biggest teams in the EPL and Coisty and Lennon have very little experience on European stage as managers. I would bet that if Walter and Strachan were still in charge both teams would have breezed through their respective ties. Give the managers a chance to develop and build experience. This may take some time if we keep getting put out in the qualifiers right enough but I am sure you will see an improved European campaign by the Old Firm next year.

was it only me who was raging when davis tried to play someone in back post with a low ball behind 3 defenders when he coulda had a free dig at goal? i expected better from someone with usually really good decision making. dont even get me started on healy. i dont even know WHAT we need anymore.

It was moments like that, that cost us big time. You can't blame the manager for that. We had several clear chances to kill off Maribor and didn't take them. Jelavic missed a sitter in the first leg to make it 0-2, lafferty's sitter when he was clear through on goal, Edu's powder puff header at goal, Healy's sitter to make it 2-1. Those are just some of the chances we had. Poor decision making by the players
cost us. Not the managers fault. If you had asked any rangers fan before the game, they would have picked the same starting 11.
Things will get better, starting with a good result against the sheep tomorrow. {Ed025's Note - thats the spirit mate....stay positive..

I will admit the Rangers management have got it wrong on some occasions on the transfer front.

Ortiz - is rubbish and a spanish segunda player.
Bocanegra - not bad in his day, but is probably past it.
Mckay - might be good in A-League but is too weak a league for me.

But look otherwise...

Bartley-Brilliant last season at Gers, could've challenged for an Arsenal 1st team place.

Bedoya-Looks some player, maybe the best we've signed so far,

Wallace-Scotland international, good home grown player, wanted by Premiership Wolves

Goain-One of the best players at Euro 2008, played in Serie A, giant at the back, will come good if given time.

The guys have only just signed, McKay hasnt even played a game yet and your slagging them off. give them a chance. if you were a supporter in the 80's you would have probably been slagging McCoist off and look at the player he became for Rangers.

Agree0 Disagree0

Give Mckay a chance and A-league is comparable to SPL at the moment
Bocanegra played well after a shaky start with the sliced clearance
I'm running out of good things to say about Ortiz but booing him or others at games will not help any of them or us.
Remember, we can still win the treble which would be great in Super Ally's first season Get behind the whole team, WATC

Agree that Goian looks an absolute steal for under 1mil. From what i've seen of him so far, hes easily worth £2-3m significantly more if he wasn't in his 30's. Wallace looks confident and has ability on the ball, can tackle, plus an end product excellent aquisition in my eyes. I've said it on many occasions, Ortiz will come good, the guy speaks a foreign language, never played football outside of spain, first signign in a squad of lads who've been together for 3 years. He's never had to gel with a foreign team before and he looks a bit anxious. I think he's trying to impress us too much and tries too hard and it backfires. He will come good in the end... i'm able to recite this point of view from memory i've said it so often haha. Muzz

I know last night was hard to take in for us fellow rangers supporters but lets stand up and support ally not get on his back i know it's not great that we are out but personally ally needs all the support not for every person to jump down his throat at the first chance they get lets give him this season to prove he has the mettle to handle the pressure to give us 4 in a row as it's going to be 4 in a row in my opinion I'll be there home and away with the team as i always am lets give ally the support he deserves i know us fellow supporters are proud people and want the best i think if you give ally the time he will prove it WE ARE THE PEOPLE HERE WE GO FOR 4 IN A ROW
