Morning Bears. 9 points behind them and the sheep at this early stage of the season is very bad. I have to say that I had never heard of any of the new players before they joined our club. Nobody seems to have the passion to play for the jersey. Tavernier used to but he is clearly passed his peak. Butland is OK in goal but I can't think of anyone else who has the class that a Rangers player should possess. Changing managers has cost the club dear over the last few years with only Stevie G who could be regarded as a success. I don't know where we go from here but the more defeats we suffer, the worse the morale of the team will be. Rangers could get rid of PC now, but who would replace him and all of this at what cost? Worrying times for our great club. We need a manager/ coach with the passion of a Graeme Souness or Barry Ferguson! I'm not suggesting either of these two, just someone with that sort of passion for the club.

Doiger I don’t think gerrard was a success, one trophy.

Agree with most of the post tho we were only successful in one of SG years and he has reported to be sacked from Saudi so no doubt the calls will start to bring him back which I hope not.

I agree Doiger. With the World watching on Rangers must carefully consider their options. Kris Boyd should watch his mouth and stop sliding up to Chris Sutton. If it wasn't for the Rangers Boyd would be unemployed and perhaps he should remember that when spouting negativity in bundles, slagging the Club, the board, the manager and the staff. John Gillighan has his arms full just now and clowns like Boyd don't help. Rangers are in an extremely delicate position just now and clear mind is required when choosing the next step. We all want Rangers back at the top but sacking Clement might not be the way forward as we don’t even know who we want and more importantly who is interested. Rangers are still a massive club but need stability to allow us to improve in all areas of the business.

Doiger I hear you mate but unfortunately modern day players just don’t respond to that type of manager no more. Players are treated so differently now around a club and like society woke years prevail. I remember being pinned to a changing room wall at HT because I questioned a manager. you can’t raise your voice to a player now.

Terrible result but had Dessers some control at 2yds out things could have been different - don't get Jefte left out as he has looked fine over last few weeks and to go defensive and lose a goal like the first is basically schoolboy errors - Tavs is done and needs moved on ASAP and is never never a leader of men (we will win F all with him holding armband) - They have bought McGowan from our league who has slotted in and looks the part - Aberdeen have several Scottish Prem players and they played like a team who knew a system and were super hungry - let's get some true IDENTITY back asap - still same defending at set pieces etc etc - we are not learning anything - Kasa should have been screaming at Bajrami to pick up spare man if he had brains to look, but just too many ballwatchers and Tav biggest culprit and we can't really read a game or even do basics like mark a man - this is going to be a tougher season than I first expected - Oh for a John Brown or Souness who would not accept this pish from players on the park - don't like Roy Kean but he is 100% right in saying that players should police players on the park and it is their job to gee up players or rant at them when jobs not being done - it happens through Amateur to Junior to lower leagues - just not at Ibrox - am pig sick at moment??.

Good to see you on Doiger. I always try to be upbeat about our club.
However we are at such o low it's virtually impossible to be upbeat about anything. Shocking financial performance and a squad and manager not fit for purpose. Not even out of October and I've a better chance of winning the lottery than we have of winning the league.
Trailing celtic is bad enough but languishing in 3rd place 9 points behind Aberdeen is just a joke.
No chairman, no ceo and no ideas.
Terrible terrible mess.

We had a manager with passion for the club like that DOIGER and didn't back him properly so he could stay out in front of celtic ie. steven gerrard ?Kevin Muscat has that sort of passion to be our manager imo ?.

Blue so are you saying Boyd should not tell the truth on tv? What he said was correct.

Bluebayou - why should Boyd watch his mouth, he's 100% correct in what he said.

Instead of improving team in transfer window, we actually spent money we didn’t have and made team weaker . Our players signed can’t play Clements tactics nor do they understand them . They don’t seem to care either .
So much money spent on free transfers and unheard of players, we are going backwards at an amazing speed of knots .
Covering our losses and paying back short term loans will make us even more vulnerable.

SG gave us the ability to get back to normal on 2 fronts. We got closer to Celtic and started to produce in Europe. His tenure wasn’t a success in trophies but most agreed it got us back. I don’t want him back. The biggest loser for me was GVB. He won a cup and got to European final in his first season. I blame a large majority of fans and the board majority for Beale. PC again never heard of and the board wanted him.

On the objective side. We have lost at Killie, Aberdeen and Celtic which are normal places to lose. However Aberdeen are showing it can be done but the club with bigger support, bigger revenue stream and bigger squad can’t.

1) We are buying projects who have never heard of our club and hoping they will get us a profit, not win trophies. A right back prospect now played centre half and left back.

2) We are spending large sums of money on players who supposedly most are blind to their potential. 6 months later” oh would be better in a different league” we sell them at a loss.

3) Tav should have been gone. After 5 years he should have sold.

4) How many improved extended contracts have been given out for failure. Mangers and players.

5) This rigid approach to formation is crazy. It’s a bit like getting lost on a hill. “There should a stream here” well there isn’t so your lost. It’s not working even though the in the rear with gear nuggets tell you it should.

We need a new board, we don’t need DOfF or CEO, we need a chairman that can be full time and cover multiple roles. We need a new manager, and we need to stop looking for projects. Look at Miller/ Diomandie. One is doing it in our league the other oh has potential.

but it wasnt SG it was Beales tactics remember. apart from that he insisted we kept Morelos and Kent and look what happened there. Do you think SG would come back when we have no money anyway.

John. SG's one trophy was the league title, unbeaten too so not insignificant. I'd have SG back.

Yep and look what happened when Mr Beale became manager. The board should have sold both and let SG go if required. SG for me was the rebuild. The rest after should have been about stability. It’s been chaos since.
