jim mcoll SOS needed to rid us of the shame brought on us for the last two years.

we as fans should all be chantting his name from the raftters with banner telling those persons on the board its time to move on

so if you are reading this big jim please come and sort us out

foogie boogie bear

If it was only that easy mate. Too much uncertainty over so many issues. Costs need to be cut very sharply asap. Green was right on one thing, the coaching staff need to be cut to start it off.

@1 green kept all the coaching staff when he was in charge of things.

The problem is that Rangers as a business needs to be realistic about its revenue streams and costs. The business running the club needs to be viable to support the football on the pitch.

This would mean sacking highly paid players, coaches and managers. This would be unpopular with fans, who are (rightly) only worried about football performance and winning trophies.

So you can have a manager who is a good businessman but unpopular, plunging Rangers into 5-10 years of lower division hell while it builds its business to a point where it can support premier players again.

or

You can have a manager who is a good PR person, who tells the fans what they want to hear ("For every fiver. ", "I'm not leaving until I hear the. ", "Dallas Cowbows. " etc) who uses that good feeling (and SB money) to make a quick buck and run.

Honestly, at the moment, the only asset Rangers has is its fans, that can generate £20m on the spot, but £20m is not enough to sort out Rangers problems in the longer term, especially if that money is frittered away on expensive players and managers.

It's a rock and a hard place, and not all fans are agreed on the right course. It's good, steady but poor and a long time while we watch Celtic catch up in title wins. or. hope the next silver-toungued devil actually has the money he says he has. Surely we can't be that unlucky?

Same old wishing for a knight and shining Armour to save the club this fascination with billionaire saving the club is what got rangers in a mess in the first place and will continue with the new rangers

Rangers had the chance to start again fresh but no wanted the big players on big bucks just like before but different lvel. Grim

@2/Green told Ally his two pals should be cut remember?

All these big saviours have put us in the mess. nice dream

but its now up to fans but there's a lack of appetite. we talk about it

but no action

For J McC to take over Rangers someone has to relinquish control. Or are you suggesting he justs hands over cash to the current incumbants.

Green had started a restructuring process, bringing in troubleshooters. Remember them? First to go was the chief scout, Ally's pal. Remember him? Green told McCoist to drop his two sidekicks, green was going to make staff redundant and run it all like a professional business. M Murray, Smith and McCoist got rid of him. Ahmad's blogs told the truth. There's not enough income to deliver these costs. Did the Dundee utd gate money really get handed to charity? Cause Traynor would've had a cheque handing over ceremony all over the papers, and there's just been silence.

#9 Good points apart from the charity slur which is out of order & wrong.

Personally I think Green decided he was going to leave and began finally talking sense, Rangers have to act radically to stop the losses of £1 a month. We need austerity and already have a squad that should be good enough to easily win back to back promotions. The money Ally & co are earning is a joke and Ally surely knows it.

Rangers need to let go of the past. All this paying big players and big money is them trying to hang onto what they have lost.

They can't do it any more. Once they stop and accept that, they can start to build again.

@10, not saying that the money didn't go to charity, but guy @9 has a point. Do you know for sure that the money did get to the charity in question? Unless you do, you can't call what the 9 said a slur.
Al

@10 so please tell us what happened to the charity money? You obviously know so please do share! as we all know Mr Green made such a big issue about it!
So please, do tell?

@12

There is a good chance we would have heard about it if it had been withheld from said charity.

I'm sick to death of coming on this page to see bears post something and for other bears to reply with a sarcastic comment or just being knobs!
Folk are posting on hear as they have either heard something from friends or posting information they believe to be true.
Seriously folk with nothing constructive to say really need to get a grip and not bother saying anything at all.
At the end of the day 90% of us on here are bears. And bears are ment to stick together not act like a bunch of school kids.

Rant over

Granite city bear

Aberdonians don't get weegie patter.
It's the background radiation from the granite. Bottom line is everyone has differing opinions. I'm not going to agree with a Bear who wants McCoist. Never going to happen.

All I was getting at is someone posts then gets his/her head ripped off just for posting something its nonsense

Well your club is tearing apart at its very core mate! Best get used to it as there possibly won't be a club to support soon

Daly is lazy, he walks about the pitch waiting for service. Messi he aint, no good if you are looking for a Div 2 scrapper. Most of the arabs I know will be glad to see the back of him.

Agreed mate, people hit out at Sandaza for being their for the money, why do you think Daly is joining.

I'm a rangers fan from dundee I can assure you the Arabs thought he was a great player. know there's talk of him coming to us they suddenly don't want him
