Rangers Banter Archive May 02 2018

As a Rangers fan and TSB customer it's been a rotten few weeks. All i need now is to see Stevie G at Ibrox and the bank account of Celtic Football club transferred to mine by mistake!
Be a great way of finding new investment for sure lol.

03 May 2018 10:19:34
I'm also TSB what a shambles

02 May 2018 20:33:29
With all the rumours flying about, I have only one thing to say. There is only one thing worse than murray or king being in charge and that is murray and king.
I swear that if ever the two of them have any input as to our future, I am finished with our club forever.
As I typed that I heard cheers in the background. Was that you ---DK17? Cheers mate.

02 May 2018 21:35:49
Billyb are you saying if Murray got involved again by throwing his money in and bringing large investment with it that you're finished with our great club? Jeez if anyone came in with serious investment and get us back to where we belong I'd take it as long as we don't end up in the same state as we were before! If we still have strong fan based stake ( like we didn't have before ) I'm sure as most fans would be if they look deep down would accept such investment!

02 May 2018 21:54:13
Fickle is the only word for supporters like you. Dm gave us a using and you believe that supping with the devil is fine, as long as we get to the top. Well, as far as I am concerned that is not what the real Glasgow Rangers stand for.
I have only recently started posting again and realise now that that I do not want associated with the fickle and gullibles.
I know the brain dead won't worry about that, but I have my standards.

02 May 2018 22:35:06
Not a whisper from me this time Billy!

No point speculating at this point, let’s wait and see what happens but if there are new investors coming in (with or without DK) then surely King deserves some recognition for getting g us into a position where other people are willing to invest?

03 May 2018 00:42:46
David murray sold to craig whyte and as far as i'm concerned that's all he's done wrong. his name is tarnished because of that. But my best memories are when he was in charge and the players he signed will go down is history as some of the best if not the best that have ever played for our club. He made a mistake and the bank was putting a lot of pressure on him to sell. He will regret selling to whyte for the rest of his life, If he knew the outcome there is no way he would of sold it to him. But if he was to come back and take us back to the top i would be absolutely buzzing.

03 May 2018 09:12:21
DK17, I was jesting, mate, as we know each others opinions.
No doubt, we will disagree on many issues, but we both have the same priority i. e. Our great club gets back to the very top and does so in a manner that befits the traditions and standards of the Glasgow Rangers.

03 May 2018 10:21:18
I wouldn't touch David Murray with a barge pole letting him back in is a bad idea

02 May 2018 18:35:26
If Gerrard ends up turning this job down, after all this media attention and discussion across the world, I swear to god il greet 😂

I don't expect him to turn it down btw and before anybody says it, I'm not sayin we won't find another candidate or even a better one! All I'm saying is there has been enough embarrassments on and off the field for us regarding managers the passed 2 seasons, we don't need another.

02 May 2018 20:36:44
Av got doubts Stevie G will come to us were a shambles man am stuck for words about rfc

02 May 2018 23:58:50
Wouldn't agree bout shambles mate. As I've said before club in transition and remember we've gone from skint to being able to offer SG 25-30M transfer kitty in relatively short time. The playing side is dross but fixable in less than season. I don't see this as shambles

02 May 2018 17:36:15
Gotta love a trier. John barnes possibly one of the worst mangers ever to grace Scottish and English football is giving advice to Stevie g. He shouldn't take the job. Aye right John . Jog on back to wherever you are trying to make a living . Because you were absolute mince is the reason u weren't a success.
don't blame anything else and keep your timmy views to yourself along with the rest of your mob who all seem to have a view.

02 May 2018 18:51:33
They are only saying don't go as they are bricking it they know that if Gerrard comes in then the standard raises and a bang goes the chance for 8 never mind 10 in a row

02 May 2018 20:51:51
you guys are nuts

02 May 2018 14:28:25
Anybody else having problems accessing this site today?

02 May 2018 17:15:31
Yeah was down for hours earlier on

02 May 2018 17:23:16
Me🙋‍♂️
What would all the Celtic fans have done today. they’d be going into meltdown not getting on here😂😂

02 May 2018 17:41:51
Overtime on twitter have you seen it lol, to think we've just been pumped 5-0 they won the league, and we are all they talk about

02 May 2018 20:25:10
Accessing site pain today. Normally only have to input one letter and rumours and banter come up but when trying site some #### site coming up.

02 May 2018 13:30:26
That's paul murray and Brian scott ( I think! ) resigned from the board It's a start 🙏🙏.

02 May 2018 13:35:44
Scott was part of Chinese group who put in 6.5 million in march, not sure how it's a good move he is away

02 May 2018 17:30:26
he was only on the board for financial/ legal reasons, people are reading far too much into this, it is pretty normal business

02 May 2018 17:54:21
Scott was on the board because the % of shares the man in Hong Kong bought off Ashley along with club 1872 it was a short term position as a non exec director, surely one of the dhim expert financiers will enlighten us on it, or the so called rangers men on the beeb,

02 May 2018 13:15:09
Havent been on here for a long long time!

I just love the fact that once again, even though we are in the sh! t we are in, Glasgow Rangers are still attracting World Class players such as Stevie G!

Most of the media I have seen down south has been nothing but positive saying he should grab the chance.

The Gordon Durie is still out for me. However it does wet the lips now and again if an investment is about to happen to fund it all.

Certainly the last chance for King. If this fails he and all need to go.

02 May 2018 14:23:15
Stevie G is not a world class player. He is an untested under 18s manager.

02 May 2018 17:34:35
Parky7720 are you sir Alex Ferguson in disguise 🤔

02 May 2018 17:47:57
Stevie gee has retired from playing

02 May 2018 10:54:43
Whether or not S. Gerard does sign for us, the money side of it for transfers and buying players needs to be enormous for us to challenge timco.
Timco don't need to spend tuppence to compete in the SPFL as they have NO REAL competition in the league that is why Brenda will be with them till they get ten in a row now, nearly GUARANTEED.
They "will" have to spend their 70 od million if they want to compete in Europe and avoid their past humiliation there.
Remember Brenda's moan that timco could not compete with the financial advantage Europe league clubs had but forgot to mention he has the same advantage in the SPFL That is why English premier clubs are not clamouring to sign HIM.

02 May 2018 12:08:08
There is by far a much bigger financial gap between us and PSG than you and us!

Or do you dispute that? lol

02 May 2018 17:24:05
Aberdeens reported turnover was 15 million, celtics was 6 times that at 90 million and PSG was 274 million Euros or 241 pounds

so Celtic have 6 times the advantage over Aberdeen while PSG have 2 and 2/ 3s time advantage over Celtic

so yes the real terms gap between you and Aberdeen is far bigger than the gap between you and PSG.

FFS other than Rangers I don't think a single transfer fee has been paid out by another club in Scotland, they are operating on loans and 1 year deals

Rangers for the same period were 29 million so you have just over 3 times the money we do so yes the real terms gap between Celtic and Rangers is bigger than the one between Celtic and PSG.

02 May 2018 10:34:34
I don't think we are as far behind the manky mob as lots of people are making out. We may well still finish 2nd and by a much lesser margin than our third place finish last season. Something happened after the 3-2 defeat at Ibrox, a match we should have won. Murty lost the dressing room and the confidence went down the pan. I agree a clear-out is essential but there are some decent players that the like of Steve Gerrard can get the best out of, including McCrorie, John, Murphy, Dorrans, Jack, Morelos and Rossiter. The dark side must be panicking given all the trolls desperate to dissuade Gerrard from coming to Ibrox!

02 May 2018 11:13:57
Agree doiger. I'd add Arfield barjonas to your list, hopefully one or two youths like Wilson, Middleton, Steven Kelly
I like Cummings too
We have to move guys like food, Tav, windlass especially if English clubs want them

02 May 2018 12:13:57
In what way should you have won Doiger?

You were at home

Handed the first goal within minutes of KO

And played against 10 men for the majority of second half!

Please explain why you SHOULD have won? The fact we won under those circumstances only again highlights how far you are behind!

02 May 2018 12:19:33
Jboy. I have always been critical of Tav's defensive qualities but if we sell him whi do we replace him with?

02 May 2018 12:45:39
Pretty sure Mark Allen and Stevie Gerard can come up with an improvement on Tav :)

02 May 2018 13:24:42
Sorry Doiger, i disagree, we've proved on the field we're so far behind them, maybe we should've won the 3-2 game but we didn't and from then on, the players knew they weren't good enough to compete. I believe something has happened behind closed doors but players MUST be professional, to loose 9 goals in 2 games against them tells you they're better than us. at present but hopefully not for long.

02 May 2018 13:37:58
Parky someone much better, only way we catch them. Are u advocating we keep people not good enough

02 May 2018 13:43:11
". that the like of Steve Gerrard can get the best out of".
That is shear speculation. Where is your evidence?
Apart from the fact that his name is Steven Gerrard, I don't see what his qualifications are for such a big job. Only a week or so ago people were being shot down for suggesting a possible future manager, because others thought they had no experience and had won nothing as a manager. What happened to all of those arguments? I hope you all realise we are approaching him to sign as a manager/ head coaching not as a player.

02 May 2018 09:08:29
So having seen SG on the tv last night I am convinced the deal is done. Whether he will be good or not we will have to see but I am positive. I also think he will have been guaranteed money. Not the big figures mentioned here but 10/ 15 million. Add to that the loan and youth players he will bring plus money from the many sales that are now likely then we will have more than enough to go toe to toe with Celtic.

02 May 2018 10:13:18
It's hard to sell players that are not performing? wouldn't expect a lot of the donkeys to bring in much in the way of £££

02 May 2018 10:33:29
Much same opinion as you Stef. apart from the money side of it as timco have in excess of 70 million in the bank to spend.
They don't need to spend tuppence to compete in the SPFL as they have NO REAL competition in the league and that is why Brenda will be with them till they get ten in a row
GUARANTEED.
They "will" have to spend if they want to compete in Europe and avoid their past humiliation there. Remember Brenda's moan that timco could not compete with the financial advantage Europe league clubs had. ha ha ha .

02 May 2018 10:44:17
Am far from convinced Stevie G will agree to come to Ibrox. I just can't see how we can assure him of the budgets that he'll want to compete with Celtic. And he'll want those assurances in writing as he will know of King's reputation.

02 May 2018 13:26:04
Sellik haven’t got 70m not even with the Seville/ dembele calculator

02 May 2018 08:56:35
Think some people might be, well are getting carried away with things here, i see names like sturridge getting thrown about and i know gerrard will attract players and will attract younger guys who want to play for him but come on next will be salah and mane.
A lot of people questioning stevie g appt, ask yourself this if he went to a lower league english club and was successful would we have the chance to get him in after his stint there. We have to be the club that takes a chance because it could be a fantastic appt.
We need to take this opportunity by all accounts according to english media has all the attributes to become successful as long as he is fully backed by the club and most importantly the fans.

02 May 2018 09:08:20
Great post Stmonkey. Look it could be a disaster for both parties. then again it may not. I am with you. Its a risk worth taking at this stage. Even if he wins only the league cup next season that would be a start. One thing SG is, is a winner and won't accept losing easy. i'm on board👍

02 May 2018 10:15:13
Obviously Salah and Mane are coming up with him I hear VVD is getting a 12 month loan to shore up our defence for his first season.

Liverpool do no want him to fail and he has free reign over their transfer budget for his role at Ibrox

at least that's what I heard?

02 May 2018 05:52:48
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 2nd May 2018

02 May 2018 09:03:32
One thing is certain, the whole of British football is now looking at Rangers, you couldn't buy that kind of publicity, nobody is talking about what Celtic have done, it all Rangers now . they must be fuming, hahaha

02 May 2018 10:02:34
They are not happy lol. Ex Unwashed players and managers are even trying to talk him out of it. They know their dominance and ten in a row is under threat. This guy is a born winner. With the right people beside him and his contacts in the game he can take us to a new level where we can seriously compete with them. let's hope we can get this over the line and the board can redeem themselves by providing the funding required

02 May 2018 10:20:15
Negative voices in the press = Rodgers Hartson, Sutton, O’Neill, Provan, Walker, Commons, Strachan, Lennon

It's almost like the negative voices have some sort of link and or agenda?

I cannot quite place it though.

Guys? can anyone spot it?

02 May 2018 10:29:47
Jetmayfair absolutely right. A bulletin must have gone out from the Celtic PR department to all ex Celtic managers, tv and newspaper pundits et al advising them to do their utmost to stop the SG deal going through.
They all insist on quoting the John Barnes saga that they had to endure as a raw managerial recruit and, of course, never mention the success of the other first time manager Graham Souness.
Me thinks they can see the re-emergence of Glasgow Rangers.
Lets sit back and wait for the next few days for the answer.
