John, or anyone else in the know. Apologies if I’ve totally missed this but there was chat of 2 midfielders potentially coming. Any news on if and who?

AlloaGer1

1.) 23 Aug 2024 19:27:58
Apparently we are very close to signing an experienced CDM, based off posts earlier today that could be Joan Jordan as that is potentially back on and we have been linked with a young lad from Benfica.


2.) 23 Aug 2024 20:11:45
We're not signing nobody unless there at outgoings.


3.) 23 Aug 2024 21:31:08
Has John Fleck signed for anyone yet?


4.) 23 Aug 2024 22:30:13
Would love it if there was any truth in the Joan Jordan deal being reignited. Exactly what we are needing. ?.


5.) 23 Aug 2024 23:06:53
Dothebouncy - that one could be a deadline day panic move from us ??.


6.) 24 Aug 2024 03:04:06
The last thing we need is a player who doesn’t really want to be here… pretty sure if Jordan wanted the move it would have been done weeks ago….


7.) 24 Aug 2024 09:34:46
I'm starting to think they will announce Fleck in a fanfare type thing all happy and smiles.


8.) 24 Aug 2024 18:39:50
Strummer not what's been said today. More incomings than outgoings next week.


9.) 24 Aug 2024 18:43:29
Is Flexk fit to play just now? If so then why not give him a short term deal….


10.) 24 Aug 2024 21:06:00
Fleck hasn't played for a year it's over.


 

 

18 Aug 2024 15:07:03
Question for John or indeed anyone else in the know, any truth in the rumours of an imminent takeover / investment from overseas?

AlloaGer1

1.) 18 Aug 2024 15:18:39
Hope so!


2.) 18 Aug 2024 15:38:18
No mate, just the usual lies coming from peoples x feeds.


3.) 18 Aug 2024 15:52:35
Ah, the "overseas investment"! Is it that time again?!


4.) 18 Aug 2024 16:09:07
Sunshine, yep, here we go again!
We are struggling (again! ) and again the 0verseas investment pops up.
Been hearing it for as long as I can recall.


5.) 18 Aug 2024 16:19:15
There has been interest and given the folks that spoke with me about this I am confident that this was factual. Names of interested parties, both UK based and South Africa based were mentioned by myself and others, including John

I have heard on a number of occasions regarding interest from existing shareholders, not necessarily shareholders currently on the Board, but unless there is another share issue, (which I would suggest is unlikely at present), any interested party would need to acquire the shares from existing shareholders and in the short term that does not benefit the Club financially, (although it might actually benefit the Club in terms of Corporate Governance) .

Add to the above the fact that we need to have willing sellers and while I understand that both King and Parks would be willing to sell, King has indicated in the past that he was offered a deal to sell and declined and Park, most likely as with others will inevitably want to exit at a premium and right now I would suggest that this would be a tall order.

With the rumoured new CEO we are securing a seasoned campaigner, well respected for the work that he has done in the Charity Sector and equally someone that is majorly respected by the IOD in Scotland. His track record at St Mirren, albeit at a Club with a significantly smaller supporter base is excellent.

Rangers cannot continue as they have been. Our supporter owner base is significant but financially I would doubt that they can take the club forward and I doubt if some of the existing Board can inject the sort of funds needed to take us forward and they have already proved that commercially they lack in ideas to develop the club and I would even go so far as to say that they have failed to exercise proper Governance and fulfil the duties of a NED.

I would still expect to see investment, if as anticipated, Gillespie comes in as CEO, he is perfect to steady the ship, improve Corporate Governance and restructure the Business side of the Club so that we have a good chance of passing any relative due diligence by a prospective Investor, (or take over bid) . The caveat in all of this is that there would be sufficient interest from existing shareholders, especially this on the Board, to sell their shareholding and give up their Club perks. (As far as the Supporter Shareholding is concerned I suspect that the Group would support any new Investor with ambition and a strategy to take us forward) .


6.) 18 Aug 2024 16:36:11
Which sea? Hollywood star? man or woman, I'm hoping for Ana de Armas or Blake Lively her man likes football she might want her own club .


7.) 18 Aug 2024 16:49:46
Very well written post Berkshire, I’m told Park intends to transfer his shares to his son Graeme.


8.) 18 Aug 2024 17:03:32
God help us John if true I know he very unpopular among the supporters.


9.) 18 Aug 2024 19:44:54
Thanks Berkshireblue, your input is always appreciated plus it is also well put.


10.) 18 Aug 2024 20:13:38
Berkshire another cracking post well written with excellent insight and info
Keep it coming mate very much appreciated ??.


11.) 18 Aug 2024 20:16:56
G4 that is the first thing i thought when i read that.


12.) 19 Aug 2024 08:14:24
Berkshire, a very well written post.


13.) 19 Aug 2024 09:00:44
Thanks Berkshire .


14.) 19 Aug 2024 09:26:47
Bb how would new investment or takeover help the team on the park, I understand the cost cutting is to bring us in line with FFP rules for next season so even if a rich Arab bought us out we can't go out and spend what we want.


15.) 19 Aug 2024 11:14:41
Onewalter rich Arab can sort out many things and quicker than the dumplings we have and no doubt income could improve with real pro business people in charge .

I'm not making excuses here and before anyone says, I KNOW THE RESULT AT THE WEEKEND WAS TERRIBLE! However… we play in a 12 team league, one of the smallest leagues in Europe. If it weren't for Sky demanding 4 old firm games the. Ideally we'd have an 18 team league playing each other twice a season, and Queens Park as it stands would be in that league. Would that then be far less of a shock result? My point being that I get we should be beating Queens Park but freak results happen, what I don't buy is this "it's the worst result in our history, they're a league below us" when we have the smallest league in Europe.

AlloaGer1

1.) 12 Feb 2025 12:54:38
That's because it is up there with Berwick and Progress.


2.) 12 Feb 2025 12:55:31
Yes it would have been such a shock and in my opinion this was the worst domestic result in our history.


3.) 12 Feb 2025 13:06:27
At the time the other Glasgow team was dominating and Rangers were not even sure of 2nd place Rangers lobbied for a got a smaller league, as they felt Celtic were getting better results against weaker teams more so than we were .
Sky came along and wanted to continue with smaller league.


4.) 12 Feb 2025 13:18:51
I'm not going to make excuses but………….
Any manager of Rangers football club should resign or be sacked after that result.


5.) 12 Feb 2025 13:29:30
I'm not making excuses but. I'm going to come up with the most complicated league construction argument to try and say it was it really the worst result? Brilliant mate. ???.


6.) 12 Feb 2025 15:14:28
Read it all now.


7.) 12 Feb 2025 15:22:32
Really Sima, regardless of the circumstances ANY manager of Rangers should walk or be sacked for a 1-0 defeat from a team 13 places below them in the leagues? Wow.


8.) 12 Feb 2025 15:35:16
All i'm saying Kaiser is that these results happen and to say aw we've been beaten by a team in the league below sounds far worse than we were beaten by a team 13 places below us.
Look at stenhousemuir beating Aberdeen, Brora beating hearts, Morton, Inverness caley and Clyde all beating Celtic. Every team gets these results at some point but I'm not for blaming the manager or agree with folk waiting outside and standing shouting vile abuse at him. This one is on the players and I wouldn't sack PC based on that.


9.) 12 Feb 2025 15:00:17
Day 4 of excuses and they are getting better all. Is there not any countries with only 10 teams in their top league in Europe?

Jesus wept, 18th a league so the result is less embarrassing is the most embarrassing thing I have read on here.


10.) 12 Feb 2025 16:47:01
Get what your saying mate but it's still funny and the number of different excuses being made up. And I agree no excuse for disgusting abuse if he got that. Feelings run strong but there a line shouldn't cross.


 

 

09 Feb 2025 22:21:30
This was a horrific result but if the worst result in our history is getting beaten off a team 13 places below us in the leagues then we've had a good history. Today was a shocker, missed chances, goalie having a blinder, missed penalty. This was a shocker… however, as clement said, 3 hrs before the game fans were on his side.

no one can say they saw this coming. The football over the last couple of months has been much better. We're competing in the old firm games and through to the knockouts in Europe. If we're sacking clement, we need to think about who we get next, we could end up back at square one getting beat 3 and 4 nil from them again!

AlloaGer1

1.) 09 Feb 2025 22:47:47
Sorry Alloa I don't listen to what he said in press conferences now, the fans don't have a choice until the board acts, but would say before the game a large section does not support him but will always support the club.
He needs to go but not confident that he will.


2.) 09 Feb 2025 23:02:38
Fair enough rosevale. Nah he said he's not resigning. And neither would I if I were him.


3.) 09 Feb 2025 23:43:08
No we don't, he must be sacked there is no way back after this humiliation, to treat this any other way would be unacceptable to most of the fans.
This cannot be the norm for our football club, it cannot be excused because we are short of money or we don't know at this moment in time who could take over. We appoint an interim manager to the end of the season, the board then have the time to sound out candidates. The club make a permanent appointment at the end of the season and continue with the work that has been started by the new board and Nils Koppen. We now have no meaningful football to fill our weekends for the next three months.


4.) 10 Feb 2025 00:48:16
Sima it's not the norm, they could play us 50 times and never beat us again. When we were getting skelped off Celtic every game that was the norm, and it no longer is. We got beaten by a team 13 places below us in the leagues and it's a shocker but it's not the end of the world. Yes it's a horrible result and the players and management should be embarrassed but results like this happen to all teams. The Liverpool result was far worse than ours for example.


5.) 10 Feb 2025 07:06:46
We have a proud history which is why this is unacceptable. We can't go back to managers getting beat by 3 off Celtic, er like PC last time at parkhead This season. He's creating his own history with breaking records of bad results and away form.


 

 

09 Feb 2025 19:54:32
Question guys. We have no money to spend, who comes in and challenges Celtic with that team? Because that's what we're asking someone to do, there's no war chest so who's the guy to win us trophies with that squad?

AlloaGer1

1.) 09 Feb 2025 20:05:14
Alloa if your being honest probably no one.


2.) 09 Feb 2025 20:09:04
Muscat.


3.) 09 Feb 2025 20:09:05
Pc ain't going to do anything tho is he Alloa so we just keep the manager even tho he isn't good enough.


4.) 09 Feb 2025 20:11:30
Losing to Queens Park is unacceptable.


5.) 09 Feb 2025 20:13:06
Alloa, I'm not actually stressed about Celtic, we can't beat Queens Park, Motherwell and St Mirren. Let's get a manager in charge who can do that and then let's worry about Celtic.


6.) 09 Feb 2025 20:14:41
Clement on reportedly close to 50k a week, someone correct me if I'm wrong but if we're cutting the squad wage down surely there's a better manager out of work who will command less than that aswell? I know elite level coaches we won't get a sniff of but surely someone like Muscat or the Bodo manager could be viable?


7.) 09 Feb 2025 20:16:24
At the moment we're not even talking about challenging Celtic tho mate. That's the problem. It's beating Queens Park and being 14 points behind at the start of Feb. Players have shown on their day they can so it's about motivation and instilling the same desire as the big games. That's his big problem.


8.) 09 Feb 2025 20:16:33
Alloa we are not going to win trophies
But cannot get beat at home by QP.


9.) 09 Feb 2025 20:11:14
Alloa we have just been beaten by Queens Park one of the worst results in our history yet you are changing the narrative by saying we have no money to challenge, so with our current budget and wage structure are you really defending that today or damaging performances against teams we should be beating, this isn't Celtic or a team in Europe we are talking about here.


10.) 09 Feb 2025 20:20:10
A manager with a clear style and philosophy, who doesn't hide behind excuses when things go wrong and can actually motivate players to give it their all. We say that there is no war chest and there isn't compared to Celtic but we still spend more than 98% of other Scottish teams.

I wouldn't mind playing second fiddle to Celtic for 4-5 years if I actually saw a plan, style, character, some youth getting bled. But I see that in bits and pieces. For example I'd say 90% of our support would have accepted that result today if the starting 11 were youth players and we were giving them minutes, most would actually have been happy, so where is our "player development strategy" when Rice gets 45 mins and the new centre half gets 60?


11.) 09 Feb 2025 20:22:48
We spent nearly 14 mill in summer and will do again this coming summer.


12.) 09 Feb 2025 20:27:01
I don't think anyone is saying a new manager will instantly make the players better. Buti can understand if folk are fed up of our complete lack of ideas when it comes down to breaking down a low block. We could have played another 90 minutes today and not scored. And that's down to the way the manager is training the players and getting then to play.


13.) 09 Feb 2025 20:32:52
Correct Kaiser and Dado.


14.) 09 Feb 2025 20:36:14
What about the manager in the opposing dugout, gt a knack of knowing how to beat us.


15.) 09 Feb 2025 20:49:27
Thinks are as near rock bottom as you can get . I think there has to be changes at the top . Why are nearly all our recent managers cannot beat Celtic, nor even lowly SPL or even Championship teams . Is it the Manager or is it people above the manager.
There is no winning mentality at Rangers.


16.) 09 Feb 2025 20:53:02
We won't challenge Celtic for the foreseeable at this rate. It will be like Germany where Munich win it all the time and someone else nicks one every so often. That will be us. The squad they have and the spending power there's no way we can compete over the course of a whole season. They brought back Jota, are bringing in Tierney all while we still have to cut the wage bill. I don't see how we compete over the course of a season.


17.) 09 Feb 2025 20:53:18
Fork, there are now quite a few managers who have the knack.


18.) 09 Feb 2025 20:59:52
The sooner we forget about catching up with Celtic the better . We cannot beat lower SPL teams or Championship teams . If we spent £14m last summer, we will be lucky to spend £1.4 M this summer . January showed, because the football world think we are broke no club wanted to do business with us . Dirs can't give us loans to convert to shares. We have wasted £10's of millions trying to catch Celtic and they are laughing on their way to another treble and adding to their bloated bank balance.


19.) 09 Feb 2025 21:18:39
All too true Mark.


 

 

15 Jan 2025 06:49:16
Just a wee bit of insight from a player (not rangers) about football fans. His team are going through a tough spell and he says the players feel the tension in the stadium and the moans and groans from the fans of an odd is misplaced or the opposition create a chance. He said some of the players get really affected to the extent they play with fear of making a mistake, to the extent they prefer it when they okay away from home and their fans are the minority. He also said the thing that really hacks him off is the fans that abuse him with dogs abuse on social media when the tough times are there and after a few wins and few good performances they're all on like his best mate praising him, he's like "f… off you were calling me all sorts 4 weeks ago! ". This guy has actually cancelled nights out when his team has been beaten that day and sits around the house like a bear with a sore head, because he cares.
Just something to think about I suppose, at the end of the day they're all human beings just trying to do their best. And before anyone says "they get paid enough and they should be thicker skinned", it doesn't matter if they're paid £1000 a week or £20000 a week, that's irrelevant.

Well that'll send chills down the spines of the board, they'll be sacking Clement tonight and piling mountains of their own cash into the club after that showing from the union bears ?.

How can we gain points when Celtic keep winning? The team was playing much better than at the start of the season when we were dropping points left right and centre and creating no chances.

The quality the club wants rather than then manager? So the manager wants really good quality but the club can't afford that so will by prospects or freebies?
