Fudin hell. It wasn't long ago when rangers beat ICT in the cup. Then it was all, we are good enough to challenge for the top league. His played well, we're motivated. Deal with it. The days of a 2 team Scottish league are over.
We should be glad that Scottish football is on a more even keel for other teams. The day of the 2 Glasgow teams dividing the trophies between them are over. Both have big enough expectations, but no longer the bank balances to spend like they did. Let's enjoy the competitiveness. Improve the basic skill level, keep more of our young talent in scotland and nurture them and we might have something we can be proud of in a few seasons time. But for fud sake celtic and rangers fans get your heads out of your arsed and stop winning.
Heeeyyyyyyyyy

The Fonz: Sorry to disagree, but I can't get excited about us struggling to get a draw against Alloa or the way we played in the first half against Hibs, no matter how interesting open competition is.

Some interesting developments today. Letham and Easdale's loans repaid in full thus releasing all securities on Ed House and the Albion, 5% of Rangers shares traded today. Could Easdale be using his loan repayment to gobble up more shares?
Now with the securities being freed up will there be a new loan secured on the assets? After these loan payments and Ahmed's pay off, there isn't much working capital left now to see Rangers through to the end of the year. Is McCoist back on his full salary yet?

Ed: Any news on when MacLeod will be back?, he is the one we always miss the most.

{Ed039's Note - Its not too long term, he is in light training as far as I am aware)

Radallash i don't think his wages were ever cut

time to bring Big Eck back from Belgium, failing him then Tony Pulis.

A new manager is needed. Derek McInnes?

Billy Davis fae me he would get things sorted would be nae lying doon under him.

Big eck would require compensation so no chance and tony pulis? Is that a joke? As if he would even look at rangers, you need to remember were we are nowadays. Everyone mentions billy Davies, Derek mccinness, Stuart McCall and all these other ex rangers players but for me I would go all out for Jackie macnamara. I don't care what team he supports or the fact he used to play for Celtic, he is a great young manager who plays great attacking football and has proved himself to know how to manage young talent. Anyone who disagrees he would be great for rangers purely because he was a Celtic player needs their heads examined

{Ed039's Note - I personally would have no problems if he walked up the marble stair case tomorrow, however lets be realistic and the probabilities of it happening are pretty non existant, plus Jackie Sr would kick the s**t out of him :-)

Ed039, It might surprise you what Jackie[snr. ]'s reaction would be and Sid's dad played for us. If nothing else they would be a breath of fresh air.

Royster I've always said billy davies but i would take mcnamara in a minute if he would come to ibrox but the ed might have a point eh

I remember reading an article were walter smith said mcculloch had a good footballing brain so hows about gordon durie as manager with big jig as his number two i think it could be a good partnership anything is worth a try considering our current predicament trial period till end of season put super on sick leave he needs a rest

I think Davies, it would be the most likely and he would be committed to the cause.

Never thought I would ever advocate this, after 60 years of supporting and shareholding in our club, but after last night I believe a full-on boycott of all matches and merchandise is the only viable option. A second admin. might be the only way to excise the corporate cancer and the abysmal McCoist management team bag and baggage. The 15,000 who declined to buy season tickets and who again stayed away for the Hibs match must have done so with heavy hearts. But now is the time to follow their lead. Portsmouth and Hearts are examples of how fan power can change and save. It is hard to see how the corporate and football stewardship of Rangers can sink much lower, and now, finally, only a total, radical cleansing can restore the soul of our great club. It is the key moment for all fans to vote with their feet and pockets to help exorcise the corrupt and incompetent destroying Rangers - and kick-start the revolution.

I never like to see anyone lose there job, but enough is enough at this rate we won't make a play off spot, I think we're stuck with the current board for the time being Ally and his coaching staff are a different story the board we have must act on the management situation pronto, I really hope Ally walks or is sacked before it comes to us the fans trying to force him out with banners and abuse that would be a sad day for a light blue FOOTBALLING legend and fans alike. If I underperformed in my job as frequently as Ally and team I would have been shown the door long ago, Ally stood arms folded no motivation I thought rigormortis had set in and that spread through the team. Come on Ally do the right thing it's not working and never will.

Like yourself SLB, I never thought that the only option we would have to get rid of a Rangers manager would be a complete boycott of everything that gives money to the club, so dear to me.
However, that club is no longer the Rangers I have supported for many a year and should the end result be a Third Lanark scenario, so be it. I would rather have great memories, than support, any more, the sham that operates under our proud banner.

Think you will find Portsmouth & hearts fans took control of there clubs by putting their money where their mouths are not by boycotts .
r.f

R. f. , I don't think that would be practical for us, given our current predicament. Might have been possible first time round but we backed the wrong horse.
If the current owners/shareholders ever leave the building, they will only do so with their investments intact and would beg, steal or borrow to achieve that goal. There would only be a shell left, no assets and certainly no cash. We would not have league status and would be in a desperate plight.
In my opinion, we had a chance to sort things out and blew it. The blame game doesn't matter now, so fingers crossed, diehard[s] come across to save our bacon, with money he[they] can afford to lose.

R. f, yes into the club not the pockets of the board.

SLB it's time people took a stand this the first season i can remember not buying a single piece of merchandise or match ticket for my kids and myself.

I'm come to the sorry conclusion that now is the time for fans to veto attending all further home games until further notice. This might push us into admin 2 but the way things are going we won't win promotion anyway! It would also get rid of the board and McCoist in one fell swoop. For me, I'm beginning to think that admin 2 would finally allow the club to be properly saved by King, Ashley or whoever and get a really good manager on board and offload the rubbish. Comments Bears?

Administration nae the answer need ta stand as wan ga outside them gates and get the lot of them ta f**k.

Doiger, do you have no sense of social responsibility? Have you been watching the Phones4U story unfold? The best part of 700 stores closing. Upwards of 5, 500 jobs on the line.
That's administration. Not that farce that happened two years ago.
Please will you and people like you stop wishing people out of a job and creditors out of money for your own petty reasons.

I thought l was taking about standing as wan not about people losing there jobs, but l thank you fae putting me in my place.

Styab so you think supporters have just got to give give and give more for something they don't agree with

Now I'm glad Ally explained in detail why the team got thumped by Hibs. His reading and understanding of the game just underwhelms me more and more. It was not the crap defending, the lost midfield or the attack posted missing in action. It was all down to Moshni winding up the Hibs players and making them play better football than the opposition. Thank goodness he cleared that for me. At one point I was beginning to think the team had no ideas up front and the defense was chasing ghosts. That Moshni has a lot to answer for. Fancy stating the Hibs were already out of the race. Dear, oh dear, oh dear, how much longer?

30 Sep 2014 10:54:38
@ op please read the full story before commenting he didn't blame it all on mohsni he said his comments didn't help & probably motivated the hibs players which it prob did as if u think about it souness and smith would often put papers up in the dressing room after oppenents said things about Rangers to motivate the players .
r.f

R. f, please stop trying to justify Ally's (mis)management, you do yourself an injustice, The guy just isn't worth it! It's excuse after excuse and it's never his fault. Last night was just waiting to happen under his stewardship, let's face it we all know we are going to get players out of position, non existant tactics, total inability to change things and general allround incompetence. I don't know what his pay-off will be, but it looks like we will need to find the money from somewhere. He has to go!!!

Rf appreciate your point but this is way beyond that. MSM are predators but the sarcastic point to my post was that ally deemed to comment on this. Was this game not big enough motivation that they gained an edge due to one players comments? C'mon what did the gers players need to be up for this game? Ally does not have a clue.

Lads with my post below I think u can clearly see I have stopped defending him as of last night .but I will never stop going and supporting my ,our team .
