Refreshing to hear that Dave King is being realistic and talking about sensible investment to gradually try to catch up with Celtic while maintaining a sustainable business plan.

Gkk you will be happy to see I made an error too when inputting the name of the team you face Saturday! For some reason I put Caley Thistle when it should say Cowdenbeath.

You will all have to pretend I typed Cowdenbeath for a bit until Ed033 gets round to fixing my mistake. Apologies for messing up tomorrow's poll of the day.

Just seen an interview with David king which he states he doesn't like directors of football type roles he believes the manager should have the final say and have nobody above him. He also states he wants more of a coach than a manager as such, someone that can nurture Young talent. In the financial side he said hey club would need north of 20 mill and he is willing to put in 50% and also that the fans need to get back supporting the club. He said that he already has directors lined up to appoint soon after the EGM. And he thinks it would take a couple of years to be challenging for the title and playing European football.

It was quite an informative interview

Both pundits on Radio Clyde SSB have again put up Billy Davies up for the Rangers Manager job.

One of the Ed's and a few posters have condemned his private life and have stated that Rangers should not go near him.

I have trolled the internet and cannot find anything heinous about Billy's private life - nada!

I have also called a friend who is also a personal friend of Billy's - this friend still lives in Pollok who keeps in touch with him and has categorically stated that there is nothing in his character that would or should stop him from taking the job.

So taking all this into consideration I wholeheartedly and confidently back BILLY DAVIES for the long term managers role at The Famous Glasgow Rangers.

Believable2 Unbelievable4

05 Mar 2015 20:33:59
Generally in tune with most of your posts mate, but not with Davies. no idea who we could get, but certain that it shouldn't be Davies. worked in Nottingham for a spell, and general consensus was high initial impact followed by gradual burn out. might get us up, granted, but canny see it long term.

Agree3 Disagree0

05 Mar 2015 20:32:55
Here, here royal blue, as you will know by reading my posts wee billy davies has always been my no.1 choice to be the next rangers manager, billy davies's cv blows and I mean absolutely blows stuart mccall, derek mcinnes, terry butcher's cv's out the water, billy davies would rip rangers apart from top to bottom and rebuild the football club, I've said many times mate, billy davies is not only a terrific coach, he can actually build a full football club, appoint him now that's my opinion, I'm not saying mccall, mcinnes would be bad choices because I do rate them both its just that davies is a far better choice

Agree2 Disagree2

05 Mar 2015 21:05:08
Preston; Notts Forrest and Derby - Billy Davies did wonders with them all - no fluke.

I think he is a cert.

Do you not think that if he was such a deviant the Celtic trolls would be on the case immediately.

Agree3 Disagree4

I agree with most things you say on here and I know unlike certain haters you are a true blue at hear I would suggest reading this entitled, "Why Billy Davies had to go".

http://goo.gl/pVQ0Z6

It sums up the divisive and self centred nature Davies seems to have and he is definately not the 'everyman' King is looking to put in place to rebuild Rangers from the BASEMEBT up.

McInnes and Magath are the 'dream team' that I hope we can get in place but if not Magath and Cathro or in short term McCall

Another very important statistic in choosing the manager is his win ratio and at 59% with Aberdeen McInnes is even ahead of the great Sir Alex Ferguson whereas McColl is only on 41%, Billy Davies is on 33% with Motherwell, 44% his best with Peston, 43% with Derby and with Notts Forrest he was on 42% and 41% respectively.

I genuinely think those figures put McInnes in the ranks of the great managers whereas McColl and Davies are only in the good/average manager level. So forgeting any personality and underlying dodgy parts to his chracter just on stats ALONE McInnes wins hands down I think you cannot argue with that

Throw in his undoubted leadership qualities and I like the way he deals with Delilahs tantrums he already has the measure of celtics managers constant gripes/mind games.

With the backing of Magath, King and a board full of Rangers forward thinking people plus crowds of 50000 at every home game there is no limits to where I feel McInnes can take Rangers look what he has done on an Aberdeen tightwad budget with the Sheep crowds.

Regardless Royal we will be talking football from tomorrow morning for the first time in 3 years I think that is a tonic all of us need, arguing over managers and who should be in team is a dream for me after all this team

fab1

You missed my point I already posted days ago celtic owned the sheep that day.

I was referring to the fact that Delilah is a man that uses the media mind games and moaning wise, this is not a critisism it is how the phrase Fergie Time came into being ala Sir Alex constant moaning about refs and timekeeping statistically led to Aberdeen and Manchester United gaining extra mins and decisions due to the psychological effect he had on refs. He was the master. I am actually ststing McInnes does not just lie back like a defeatist and take Delilahs comments in media, he answers back and I think very astuely. This does not mean he wins games it is a mindset and it is important in the best managers.

i am george

Agree0 Disagree1

06 Mar 2015 10:11:36
I am delusional
Every one in Scotland has seen Ronnie as a breath of fresh air not tied down by hang ups about the honest mistakes referees have made against Celtic teams of the past or any of the twisted logic that goes on at both sides of the Celtic / the rangers divide. Only in your wee blue world does he come across as the way you have portrayed.

English League won't touch them. Palestinian flags at Tottenham, usual dodgy songs at Chelsea, W.Ham?(and they DO still sing them) And we're not talking about the atmosphere at friendlies, tesimonials here. no less than Davie Provan penned a telling article about viewing one of the numerous televised Poppygate fiascos with shocked English colleagues, and his embarrassment as he tried to explain what was going on. And no English club from League one up would give up their place in any case.

I was amazed that Lliambas made it through the airport today, after all, the forum has a few people desperate to ask King tough questions. I would have thought that these paragons of integrity and transparency would have been at old Lliambo like attack dogs, given what he's doing to us NOW!. ah well. maybe they got the flight times wrong. and how DARE Jim White interview a convicted criminal. why weren't the polis queuing up to arrest him as soon as he landed. monstrous! I feel a "Not in my name " boycott coming on. good, more chance of getting a season ticket then. to all the self flagellants who are doom-mongering about King. what is the alternative? Surely, after 3 years of gurning, you'll have one that is viable and immediately workable Answers written in blood on your old season book please.

Pmsl.A nomad is liable for any financial irregularities hence that's why he chucked the job would you stand by & accept responsibility??!Also the "Show me the Money!) Is a perfectly good retort, Tommorow is his time to show & prove he has a blue print for the future & financial stability.North of 20million he replied n is a ball park figure which hopefully he can outline, but its these pesky onerous contracts drawn up by Charlie Chuckles that sees £270,000 paid to the mystery men every month is a massive problem as the contracts are bomb proof & as a company who urgently need to cut costs this outgoing of precious collateral is a major problem that can't be reversed.

Keyser where am I wrong? The contempt for the board was every bit as much on show (rightly) at the AGM as it will be at the EGM, you sadly didn't have the votes to get rid of them then, you have now, what's changed? Two huge purchases of shares by the three bears and by King. What precipitated this? Previous board backers selling shares to non-board backers, literally a swing of what, 30% of the shares?

That's the only thing that changed the outcome here and the only thing that led to this long needed regime change. And all of that came about because Crighton was seen as a safe pair of hands by Laxey. He was sacked on December 10th and Laxey, an original investor, who had stuck through the entire roller coaster of events and share price fluctuations sold up exactly 3 weeks later in the meantime describing Somers as "a wet fish". In other words they were more than happy to sell up to someone who would guarantee Somers exit.

That was a game changer for King, 16% of shares disappeared from the board immediately, effectively in itself a 32% swing regardless of what existing shareholders were thinking, a further purchase by himself and given Ashley's hands were tied in that regard then in a EGM it was party over. Of course the fans helped but let's face it big money powerbrokers caused it and changed it and it goes without saying King will butter you up here but it has nothing to do with the reality of what turned fan disapproval at the AGM on December 22nd to the rout we fully expect on March 6th.

Believe what you want, some of you always do but guys with cash changed this, boos from fans might not sound pretty at AGM's but they don't win votes, guys with big wallets do.

Do any my fellow posters on here think mcdowall will see the season out as rangers caretaker manager(god, I hope not) and if not how soon do you think it'll be before our new board of directors change him?

Believable1 Unbelievable1

05 Mar 2015 15:26:21
jr

You are intelligent use logic

King and our new board are all Rangers fans and fully aware of the benefits of getting, firstly into the playoffs and secondly winning promotion. This benefit is two fold if we are to rebuild then it is far more sensible we are playing against the best opposition possible week in week out and secondly the revenue streams financially from TV, 4 Old Firm games and I imagine a season of total sellouts with the season tickets being dearer bringing in much needed finance due to the games being SPFL games.Throw in all the related advertising and sonsorship streams and it is a no brainer we must go up, despite the much discussed benefit of a year extra in the Championship I believe all the facts I have listed above far far outweoigh a year of training matches in the 2nd tier.

Therefore King and his team will I am 100% certain want to steady the ship instantly and appoint at leat a temp fix of Walter or possibly McLeish if he would come. Maybe even McColl. They will want the maximum quality and effort squeezed out of the 14 or so good players in our squad plus a few Newcastle lads if they remain as will likely happen till Ashley is dealt and with a few quality youngsters recalled from loan plus some in our youth team.

I hope that answers your question mister?

i am george

Agree1 Disagree5

05 Mar 2015 15:28:59
I sincerely hope mcdowall is replaced ASAP we have little chance of promotion at the moment playing as we are, but with the new board and a new manager even interim manager and with what should now be full houses may just lift the dark clouds that have hung over the club and give the team the boost and kick up the @rse they obviously need to sneak up via the playoffs.

Agree1 Disagree1

05 Mar 2015 15:56:31
I am george the only reason I did put this out there regarding would mcdowall stay the season is because sky sports reported this morning that someone close to dave king had said that appointing a new manager wasn't king's short term priority

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Mar 2015 17:26:56
I kind of agree with bits of each posters.

However, King will not do anything at all until he is in office at Ibrox with ALL information on the table and then evaluate what is available to him, then and only then will he make decisions about the first steps to be taken. So I think the speculation should not start until next week, at the earliest.

And when he does begin to make decisions it will come down to money and who wants to come and help steady the ship.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Mar 2015 17:28:55
I am George, Here is my take on your comments, of which I agree with the main content. Firstly, we should put what has happened on the back burner, for the present, and get ourselves into the SPL. I would say we appoint McCall as soon as the keys are handed over. Season tickets for the remaining games should be put on sale. The squad should be taken aside and told exactly how they stand, for the remainder of the season and their options. My biggest concern would be that we have enough in the squad to gain promotion.
Subject to the conditions of Ashley's deal, we should continue to boycott Sports Direct and a new short term deal should be negotiated. We should use his loans to our benefit and strengthen the squad for next season, using the income generated by ticket sales. I would expect, circa 30,000 @ say £100. This £3million plus a share issue would give us enough scope to deal with, but not clear, the historical problems.
My concern then would be facing certain teams if we are not fully prepared. Depending on funds, I would look at Megath as football director/youth strategist, McCall as manager [short term] and Ian Cathro as assistant with responsibilities for youth development. Smith, McCoist and even McDowall should be given honorary season tickets and barred from anything to do with the team.

Agree2 Disagree0

05 Mar 2015 17:30:41
Taking over the boardroom is his main objective Jr, anything else can wait, DK has already stated that they have already envisaged not being promoted, and it is not totally necessary, it would simply be a bonus

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Mar 2015 20:21:58
Tommy 51, totally 100% disagree with you when you say getting promotion would be a bonus, we have to do everything possible to get promotion mate, king said if we didn't get promoted he'd plan for that eventuality but said it would be a real disappointment if we didn't, in my opinion we must do everything possible to give us every chance of getting promotion and that means without a shred of doubt in appointing a very good manager who will sure as hell give us a far better chance in getting us there instead of allowing mcdowall to carry on as caretaker manager

Agree2 Disagree1

05 Mar 2015 12:36:28
Okay now maybe a topic for better times.

What are the five things that you fellow bears would now like to see being implemented at Rangers under Kings stewardship. Also put a wildcard one at the end.

Mine

1. The return of dignity, honour, respect and transparency in the running of all affairs by the club

2. A focus on youth, training, fitness and an energised team

3. A new modern style of play under a new management team

4. A approved song book being implemented and displayed on the large screen at Ibrox during home games

5. Fan engagement being of paramount importance

Wild card: Going back to Adidas as kit provider as a reflection of better times and what lies ahead.

What are yours?

Believable1 Unbelievable1

05 Mar 2015 13:36:43
1. Youth Development and Scouting System programme Ajax style Magath overseeing
2. Ibrox and all Rangers owned assets put into Tust with deeds secured on a non redeemale Legally Binding contract that assures they cannnever be sold or borrowed against ever and them stadium to be listed as a memorial to those who have died at Ibrox
3. Wage structure the way Aresnal used to do with max salary NO MATTER WHO YOU are bonus centruc
4. Debts wiped out by underwritten investment and Fan Membership scheme with annual premiums of 100/150 pounds
5. Fan ownership guaranteeing that 51% minimum must allways be in FAN based ownership never allowing an individual to own more than 25% in future.

These are my main 5

i am george

Agree7 Disagree1

05 Mar 2015 14:38:42
1 a young manager who is up to date with football/play an entertaining way and can implement the foundations, not a dinosaur who was successful 10 years ago.

Scouting/ coaching system in place to actually help players not just a job for the old boys.

3 the fans to stop being paranoid thinking the sfa and tabloids are against them lol.

4 ibrox to be revamped. It is falling to bits.

5 wage structure to be sorted for players and coaches. And stop signing players who are past it.

Whats everybodys Lineup for our next match against cowdenbeath.

I would like to see

robinson,

Faure mcgregor zaliuskis Wallace

hutton

Murdoch law

Vuckic Temps

Miller

Hutton has been energetic and is my preference for holding midfielder

Murdoch and law are both also energetic and we need to pack midfield

Vuckic and temps both creative players that can beta a man and or win free kicks.

Miller will actually run for the ball and be able to chase every ball (boyd is only really good in the air and has no pace)

For me we need to feed the ball to the 2 att mids and play on the ground. Miller will chase everything for the full 90 and if he drifts out wide temps and vuckic will drift in the middle.

We need to play on the ground!

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Mar 2015 14:00:50
I think his 2 biggest problems are consistency and fitness. But he will never get consistent if he has never been given enough games (that black and elbows get) to get his sharpness and fitness up.

He will start firing on all cylinders as soon as he hits the 4th game getting progressively better each game.

Aird should be used sparingly, law can't pick a creative pass (reminds me of backwards Barry) Clark I
Has no confidence and mysteriously falls when he gets a decent chance.

We need some athleticism in the middle of the park hutton, law, Murdoch and black don't have any stature about them like brown does for celtic. This is why I can't wait for the Newcastle midfielders gettig fit.

But for me I Am George has been by far the most accurate with all his posts about what Asswipe, Green and all the other crooks were up to.
Tommorow is our chance to rise again.
It will take time but with our loyal fan base it will be done.

Good luck to Dave King and the 3 Bears.

Agreed Dounebear and Jammydodger. Fans who woke up and refused to keep feeding the beast have helped make this possible.
Credit where credits due George, I had you pegged as a bit of a crank almost 3 years ago but after it was confirmed you 'turned up' that day I was happy to eat humble pie on this public forum. Still happy I took my personal stance and didn't renew. I think all who took this stand have been vindicated. All that said, as a fanbase we have been served up wrong un after wrong un and none of us deserved the last 3 years.
Said it then and I'll say it now. Bombers heart was in the right place but he set himself up for ridicule with the manner in which he went about his business. Just his passion boiling over I suppose. Bitterly disappointed in Mr McCoist and co. Never thought I'd ever question his love for the club but there you go.

Felix magath in my opinion mate, he's proved it with building youth superbly at various clubs, hamburg, bayern munich, wolfsburg, stuttgart etc says it all!

The problem is players nowadays get mollycoddled. Somebody like Magath would come in and change the training regime to one where they won't get as much 'down time' as they've been used to. They'd have to put in some effort. At least they would be fitter and leaner and not blowing out their arses like when they lost to part time Alloa. That was a disgrace!

Since you seem to know how has he lost the plot?

Laylex, he's a bit of a hit or a miss, he could do great, or he could be terrible, his run at Fulham was laughable, but I reckon he would do well at rangers.

So on your brilliant reasoning we should for example have binned Alex Ferguson after 4.5 years of failure at Manchester United? We should judge Moyes as a bad manager based on 7 months at Man U rather than years of brilliance at Everton?

Magath is renowned for bringing youth systems and spotong talent to bring the fore in particular the amazing work he did at Wolfsburg. 3 Bundesliga titles do not lie. He is extremely highly regarded throughout Europe yet one issue at Fulham and in your eyes he is a failure?

Magath for me will be the foundation of a future European style Rangers and either McInnes or Cathro as our manager I hope

Find myself in total agreement with everything I am george said in his reply post regarding felix magath, spot on mate and I would be over the moon if our new manager/head coach were to be derek mcinnes or ian cathro although iag I really do think it's of paramount importance we get another manager in just now until the end of the season to replace mcdowall or we can forget all about getting up this season

Magath was successful 10 years ago get over it. Why would u want Alex Ferguson? he's an old man who's football is oitdated.

As soon as anyone is linked with rangers the fans try to bum him up as if he is the messiah.

Why judge a manager on what he did test

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Mar 2015 14:51:24
One incident at Fulham there was many!
Couldn't handle the dressing room, players said training was a farce, fell out with the board. And his last spells at shalke and Wolfsburg weren't to great where they? How much did Wolfsburg spend under him? A he'll of a lot.

If the guy comes in and does a good job fair enough but at 61 years old does he have Mich desire and passion left for the game?

Agree0 Disagree0

As with many older managers in EPL if you are quality it does not matter your age Magath is quality simple.

As for Ferguson I was not if you try reading the post, suggesting him as manager I was pointing out if we use your method of judging a manager then Ferguson would have been sacked long before the 4.5 years he took to build his youth structure and his squad.

Magath - 3 Bundisliga titles one with a team the euivalent of Ross County in Scotland, you do not lose that skill set by one bad appointment at Fulham, the team were not good I watched them pre Magath and post. I am a season ticket holder at QPR so it is our local derby. Mourinho would have struggled to work in the set up at Craven Cottage trust me

Wrong person to ask about Magath lolol

05 Mar 2015 15:52:09
Ceexxx, I have to agree mate.I think he's too old to be heading up a total overhaul of the youth system.Also rumours of him losing the plot awee bit at Fulham, apparently eccentric we'll say.

Now we have seen what Spivs direct and its cohorts are all about!

And people actually still think Ashley is the man? This guy does. Not give a f**k about our club he has manipulated all the recent events. Out of pure spite, because he has been held to account by Kingco and the SFA and he doesn't like being told what to do so he decided to cause havoc and try and scare the shareholders!

Let's look at the scenario

1 king declared weeks ago he would dismiss the NOMAD as soon as he took control

2 the loan facility of £5M was already in his plans and was going to be paid back so the conditions in place for this facility would be cancelled

3 the second tranche of £5M that is attempted to be drawn down ( it's has not been drawn down and in all probability it won't be available before Friday due To the EGMND and The NOMAD resigning) won't be used and in turn cancelled and all conditions also cancelled therefor the two director appointments will no longer apply.

4 Kingco and the three bears have probably perceived all of the events today and had a counter plan to counter this.

What it proves beyond all reasonable doubt is this bunch of "great stadium robbers" have robbed, pilfered, stolen, hidden and spent millions of pounds of the clubs money over the last 3 years, special, mention must go to green, Ahmed, Stockbridge, why're, SDM Mather, Ashley the two bus boys and not forgetting somers, they have been an absolute disgrace to any law abiding accountant, financial expert and director who go about there business in a honest and transparent way.

This lot have been in biblical terms an Armageddon to our club and if there is not wholesale arrests and questioning by the SFO the stock market regulator, and police forces in Scotland, England and the city of London I will be astounded. If there has ever been a more public pillaging of a football club then I havnt seen it yet!

(Leeds Utd went through a very similar thing and Sheffield utd? With big Chico heavily involved again)

And finally the NOMAD? Why are these people even allowed to trade on AIM there has been several blatant breaches of the rules and corrections to the RNS because of this incompetant company and Daniel Stewart both heavily linked to another shyster of the highest order please stand up Mr Paul Shackelton
This guy is an embarrassment to the financial industry and the LSE Need to take a very long hard look at this guy!

Powerful and accurate post my friend. Ashley has shown his true colours in the past week, firstly his non appearance with the SFA then his stay away tactics with the Parliamentary Committee re his despicable business actions involving his workers. He hides from confrontation himself.

No matter how much he was fined by the SFA --- HE WAS FOUND GUILTY

No matter what tactics he uses in his future involvement with Rangers I can assure you that Dave King will better him.

All of you King bashers ----- Get wise Dave King is ten times the businessman you think he is.

You do know that a NOMAD is the only reason Rangers can trade on the AIM, they are the respected company that vouches for the basked case to his AIMy friends? And we've gotten through 5 of them in 3 years, WH Ireland being one of the biggest and most respected?

Time to get a grip.

Agree1 Disagree2

05 Mar 2015 11:12:06
I really do frown on most of your posts. I have a fair knowledge of AIM and I find your comments a little infantile.

Every company trading on AIM has a Nominated Advisor and can change them as they wish and for whatever reason. I bow to you superior knowledge regarding the number of NOMADS the present collection of misfits have gone through -----BUT don't you think that that is an indication of the Ashley gang not being able to deal with all those NOMADS who went before because they were waiting for an organisation like WH IRELAND to come along so that they could manipulate them?????

You seem to be good at numbers Sir ---tell me this, how many times did your favourite (and best) NOMAD have to trundle back to to the AIM market and apologies for eroneous statements??

I wonder if their track record with Ashley and his cohorts has anything to do with THEIR dip in profits thi year

AND FINALLY -- DO NOT USE THE TERM --- "WE'VE GOTTEN THROUGH" --- First of it's really bad English (lol)and secondly it was on Ashley's instructions that THEY went through your NOMADS.

By the way I AM AN INTERESTED EXPAT happily on the Dave King bandstand

Agree2 Disagree2

05 Mar 2015 14:11:20
That's fine Kerrymac, there are only 40 or so NOMADS on the AIM, so we still have 35 to get through.

As for the rest of it, I'm already resigned to this car crash, and will never abandon Rangers even if their fans are once again cheering one spiv over another. I love the team, the fans. well, let's just say they are not the cleverest in the world.

Now we'll see what sort of mess King has got us into.

Royal Blue
Just had a look in on the 'Rangers Sevco site'
It is an absolute outrage and they should be ashamed of themselves. The vile bile is way out of order, but then I read some of the editor's comments and he appears to have a real unhealthy hatred of Rangers, so much so that he allows stuff on that site that would never pass to be posted on any other site. The stuff on there is way beyond harmless banter.
I considered leaving a post but then decided I didn't want some of these vindictive green trolls hunting me down and posting their venomous drivel on this site.

You must surely be aware of the irony of a thread by Rangers fans talking about Celtic fans who are talking about Rangers, yes? A quick scroll through these pages will find Celtic (or Septic as I believe some of you prefer) mentioned frequently. Wasn't there a lengthy thread about Inter going to win 4-0 at Parkhead? There is usually some comment/thread when Celtic get beat by anyone. I think it is fair to say swings and roundabouts therefore, no?

Noddy I'm a Celtic fan and have been in this site since pre-administration, I said Whyte was shady, D&P getting picked as administrators was insane, Green was a spiv, I quoted Bassett's thoughts on his Sheff Utd time long and weary, I questioned the club having overnight stays at Gleneagles, Carnoustie etc, I pointed out the £16m that was owed to the parent company when others chose not to believe it, I criticised directors bonuses for promotion, McCoist's wages, Ashley, King, everything and I have met with resistance and the occasional insult throughout. Maybe, and I'm just guessing, there is a Sevco page on the Celtic site purely because not one word of criticism in here was tolerated early doors. Some folk sure but every hint of criticism was met with some "Ahhh you're a Celtic fan why should we trust you?" from day one. Some Celtic fans use it for mischief I don't doubt that but I have just watched a club blindly go down the stank with hubris and denial in equal measure and a lot of the time that Rangers tie around the necks of these spivs far outweighed any common sense provided by some one with a green and white scarf.

Then how come for the past 3 years in here Royal Blue all I found was opposition for stating the "blindingly obvious"? Ask the Ed's I'm sure they recall it. And I wasn't talking about the sevco page on the Celtic site I was talking about "blindingly obvious" common sense getting met with disapproval in here. That being the case some of them may have thought "to hell with it, leave them to their own devices since they can't see nor appreciate the blindingly obvious." To a man none of you had an earthly about the £16m owed to the parent company till I mentioned it. "Where's the link? Prove it, prove it - oh crap, he's right!"
