Well, it didn't take long for our new board to make an arse of it.
You know me, I'm not one at shying away from a prediction. RM will be an absolute failure at us, and it won't be long until we're back at square one all over again.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water! You get my drift?!
1.) 04 Jun 2025 21:02:08
He'll be a failure because all the negative energy aimed at him from the stands. Says more about them than anything else.
2.) 04 Jun 2025 21:03:53
Have Rangers released a statement yet.
3.) 04 Jun 2025 21:04:59
I feel the same sunshine as do many of us.
A few bad results to start the season and its going to get very toxic very quickly.
Do we require patience? Yes we do but hiring a manager 90% of fans didn't want is not a great start and if proven we are right then the usual suspects will start the usual stuff.
If russell martin is the best we can do so be it.
We can expect 2nd at best but with the goals all his teams lose i feel most managers will fancy getting at his teams up here.
Im dreading the season ahead yet again. after spending maybe 4 weeks after the season being excited about what's ahead.
Ill support my team yes but i won't be expecting anything other than the same old same old now.
Id love nothing more than to be proven wrong.
4.) 04 Jun 2025 21:08:35
Way to get behind the team. We don't need fans like you.
5.) 04 Jun 2025 21:08:56
Should listen to Gary Lineker's interview with him. It's what's kept me going with him.
Time to back him. Hopefully he makes an early statement, bins the captain and maybe even get Kyle Walker-Peters up the road.
6.) 04 Jun 2025 21:12:13
I think the same Sunshine and even if you're willing to give him a crack, the first loss or Draw the atmosphere will turn toxic. so as soon as he starts losing ground in the league he has no chance.
He could of course do the opposite but watching his past teams, I can't see it as his playing style was mince and I think it will be an absolute disaster…. just a really silly appointment.
7.) 04 Jun 2025 21:12:53
Rabbie so if he's crap, it's the fans fault ? utter BS.
8.) 04 Jun 2025 21:19:49
No matter who got the job it was going to be important to get a good start.
Hired DA - "He doesn't know the league".
Hired Rose - "He doesn't know the league".
Even if Gerard came back and lost it would of been toxic, as he's failed in his last 2 jobs.
This isn't a Russell Martin issue, it's a fan issue. who can't accept that we are far from the team we use to be. You can always walk away if it upsets you that much.
9.) 04 Jun 2025 21:21:32
He's only going to fail due to the toxicity from the stands. No coincidence that the 20/21 title was won with no fans on the players backs if we hadn't scored in the first 15 mins of games.
I think he'll surprise a few who are having a go already and seem to be hoping he failsso they can say "told you so". A genuine question to all those who are being critical, who did you realistically think would take over?
10.) 04 Jun 2025 21:22:14
He will be a failure cause he's pish at his job that simple. i can see this turning into a ? show us just siting above 3rd and the new board backing him. ? hopefully I'm wrong and need to eat humble pie - doubt it though.
11.) 04 Jun 2025 21:28:56
His style of football at our club challenging for a title with a better squad than most the league will do well. He tried that last season with the worst squad, stubborn but the season before they played some good stuff. Just have some patience and back the board. I've watched a few interviews with him and his tactical approach I really like him. I wanted every other name before him but his philosophy fits this club.
12.) 04 Jun 2025 21:30:52
Let's give the man a chance. Don't have us beaten before a ball is kicked. Get behind him and let's see what he brings. ???.
13.) 04 Jun 2025 21:32:41
Some of these posts are pathetic. Guys not even got the scarf over his head and you've written him off. Do your job and support the team. at least until there's something to cry about!
14.) 04 Jun 2025 21:37:14
We will never give a manager a true crack at the whip.
15.) 04 Jun 2025 21:54:40
It didn't matter who the new manager would be the fans will turn on him after the first bad result and every one after that would be worse. then the chat will be about not picking the right formations, playing the right tactics, making stupid unexplainable substitutions and playing the same players. The same issues with the last god-knows how many managers all with different formations, different tactics, players and subs. you may not like or want him but give him a chance. but if that doesn't happen at least hope the new owners hold firm. this is about the long-term now.
16.) 04 Jun 2025 21:59:11
From what I'm reading the way the 49ers want to do things might actually put people off might having something to do with Gerrard pulling out (if he was ever in the frame) . Ancelotti has never been a manager so that would be a risk as well. Martin has played for the club and is British anytime we have gone foreign apart from Advocaat it hasn't worked well. Is no one else thinking there might be something in the Michael Carrick sacking?
17.) 04 Jun 2025 22:06:08
Pure negative defeatist attitude. Who ever it is needs full backing n patience would be nice. Wilnae be a quick fix here . This nonsense just hinders the team.
18.) 04 Jun 2025 22:27:34
With supporters like sunshine (ironic moniker) RM is sure to fail. It's the toxic fanbase that's been holding us back as much as anything else. The boo boys are blue.
19.) 04 Jun 2025 22:33:54
Im starting to feel like this is just another english guy underestimating scottish football and we get second rate manager and second rate englush players that nobody wants down there.
Hopefully the signings prove me wrong but got a bad feeling about this.
20.) 04 Jun 2025 22:41:01
Correct Franco but some fans just can't see it, glad our board will back him and not want him sacked if he doesn't get of to a flyer like some fans that are dishing him right now.
21.) 04 Jun 2025 23:01:55
Angus…do you think that Russell Martin is an inspiring appointment? Something to get fans buzzing about?
22.) 04 Jun 2025 23:32:28
Who needs enemies when we have fans like ours. Some of the comments are absolutely pathetic and entitled. That's what the new board have went with get behind them all and shut up.
23.) 05 Jun 2025 00:09:57
Storm your right that is what the board have went with and we will all get behind it. But in your own personal opinion do you think this is an inspiring appointment? Who would you have liked to see in the dug out?
24.) 05 Jun 2025 05:33:00
Interviews with Gary linekar regardless of how good they come accross.
3 things we have struggled with for far too long under every manager since gerrard, breaking down the low block, an organised solid defence, scoring more goals from our attacks and overloading the box.
Farioli has had no problems with any of that in much tougher leagues than ours, so he was the right appointment if we really wanted to dominate our league, have the best defensive record in the league, and play superb attacking 433 football we expect, while dominating our opponents tactically, massive failure by the board not to secure him as our next manager in my opinion, unless the RM stories are nonsense and FF is yet to be revealed.
25.) 05 Jun 2025 05:53:30
Can't increase the value of your players and have success, leading to good profits and a solid player trading model, if you appoint a manger with mediocre tactics and zero experience in the european competitions that is going to go up against an in form Celtic in the league.
Board have made 2 big mistakes already in my opinion if the RM appointment is true, the other one was releasing one of the best talent scouts in europe,
In koppen, who no doubt had some cracking up and coming young players from south america, africa, europe lined up for the transfer window.
26.) 05 Jun 2025 06:23:13
RFC we need a guy that can beat Motherwell at home and Dundee away, not a name fans can soak their drawers in before they've even got the studs on the pitch.
27.) 05 Jun 2025 08:15:34
Rfc loyal that is irrelevant but the decision has been made by a board who just happen to be part of one of the most successful sporting enterprises in the world who have also managed to get Leeds back to the top; did all Leeds fans think Farke was the right choice. how many fans on here have that level of success which better places them to know the right choice of coach for the project they have planned.
so give the manager a chance and by that I don't mean until the first bump in the road when every glory hunter will be on saying I told you so; he didn't use the tactics I would have, the formation or the subs I would have. great to have an opinion but how many have managed at the top level.
History shows this happens with this support with every manager. what will happen with Martin as manager we don't actually know yet but it has a greater chance of failure without fan support.
28.) 05 Jun 2025 09:00:50
Will get my full backing but just can't see RM attracting quality players to Rangers.
29.) 05 Jun 2025 09:30:16
How do you know at this stage that Forioli would have been the right appointment exactly? Sitting from your armchair?
It's not a computer game Laudrup!
30.) 05 Jun 2025 10:27:41
Sollof, I get that mate and I think a lot of posters think I'm being abit negative. When and I say it again I will give my full support to RM but I do think it's an underwhelming appointment. If the board feel RM is the man to take us forward then I'm on board with that.
Angus, I reiterate that I will definitely give RM a chance and my support. I fully know how successful 49 enterprises are. Although I did expect a more prestigious appointment, the group would have done their research and are clearly impressed with what they say. Time will tell.
16 Aug 2024 10:08:55
Is this rumour of Joe Savage being announced as our CEO correct? Surely, this is BS?!
1.) 16 Aug 2024 11:09:04
No, I think it's their current CEO Andrew Mckinley.
2.) 16 Aug 2024 11:24:02
I heard that name previously, Sunshine.
Another one of them? Surely the board can't be that mental?
3.) 16 Aug 2024 11:34:50
I highly doubt an announcement today ahead of a game it would be taking attention away from where it needs to be. i would take what Ibrox noise says they are not reliable.
4.) 16 Aug 2024 12:13:29
Ibrox noise is a joke, and is total nonsense. This rumour came from a mate, who was sent it, but I have no idea of the original source.
I also read somewhere that it's Andrew McKinley we were after, and that's why I said the Savage rumour is surely bs.
5.) 16 Aug 2024 12:17:51
Any announcement might be about the tik dastarlys mob ticket allocations etc.
6.) 16 Aug 2024 12:44:50
Ha ha it would be a savage transfer.
7.) 16 Aug 2024 14:17:43
Ibrox noise ?.
8.) 16 Aug 2024 16:18:52
Andrew McKinlay isn’t being announced today. He has been in talks but it’s hasn’t gone further. I suggested he was the front runner a number of weeks ago but no longer likely. Of that changes, of course I’ll post. No reasons disclosed. Interesting that he’s a blue nose but more so that he’s highly competent. Would have loved this one to have happened.
9.) 16 Aug 2024 19:55:57
Ibrox my info, Interviewed but did not make second round of interviews.
10.) 16 Aug 2024 21:51:35
John, I have a slightly different version but not far away from that. He’d have been excellent, know him very well and have worked closely with him. But asks questions that people won’t like. That’s a big factor. Whoever is appointed now has to be on their A-game. Doesn’t matter if it’s a known name but has to be thick-skinned and get the job done. Must know the game and how to engage or understand a global fan base though.

R. I. P. Brian Wilson. A tortured genius, whose talent was right up there with the very best.

Agree Sunshine, the guy was gifted a true musical legend.

Gifted us the music to Four Lads had a Dream!
03 Jun 2025 16:40:22
I was purposely staying off here until a new manager was appointed as the forum has gone nuts. ?
If it is RM, then God help us as he is dire! It's a total myth he plays fast, expansive football and knows how to play against the "low block".
His style of play is so one dimensional, and he openly admits he won't change it! Does this sound familiar? We've seen this movie when Gio, Beale and PC was here, so are we expected to believe this coaching "guru" will be any different?!
I'm praying there is still a chance it's not this carrot munching, Buddhist, climate warrior wet wipe, and whoever consided him for the role, has a change of mind.
1.) 03 Jun 2025 17:13:47
Southampton fans saying he can't handle low block and he can't organise a defense and his team prone to lots of errors at the back
Ooft talk about pain on ears.
2.) 03 Jun 2025 17:18:34
Good to see you back I do agree. The year they got promoted in championship they lost 63 goals so he ain't good at sorting a defence either.
3.) 03 Jun 2025 17:19:10
I don't think it's the forum that's gone nuts.
Pretty much ticked all the boxes, attacking the potential new managers religion, diet and so on. I would bet you know next to nothing about the guy and how he operates but don't let that get in the way of your opinion.
4.) 03 Jun 2025 17:28:28
48 goals conceded in 64 games says it all for me.
5.) 03 Jun 2025 17:31:52
Sunshine, good to see you on pal ?
we did say this summer was going to be interesting ?.
6.) 03 Jun 2025 17:42:28
I won't sima! ??.
7.) 03 Jun 2025 17:52:12
We did, Stig mate!
I just hope we don't go and waste all the recent positives by appointing "Swampy"!
8.) 03 Jun 2025 17:56:57
Sunshine i would not hold back just say what you really mean lol.
9.) 03 Jun 2025 19:15:57

04 May 2025 10:10:54
Even though I've decided not to go today, the nerves have kicked in. I'm off for a wee overnighter with the wife and youngest daughter.
Let's get this won today. Yip, they've won the league, but if we can beat them for the 3rd time this season, and with the takeover imminent, then they'll be hurting regardless of what they say. Let's go out with a bang and prove we have nothing to fear in one on one games against them - they're nowhere near as good as they make out!
Stay safe lads, and enjoy your day!
20 Apr 2025 10:23:23
A massive well done to Bury FC on becoming league champions.
For anyone who doesn't know, we have built up some close ties with Bury FC, who like ourselves, have been through the wringer.
I know a couple of guys who have been down to support Bury, and vice versa, I have met some cracking lads from Bury FC who have been up at Ibrox for a friendly.
For a club playing in the NW counties league, and pulling in crowds between 5k-7k, is some effort. We'll done everyone!
1.) 20 Apr 2025 10:30:55
Good story sunshine and very best of luck to them.
2.) 20 Apr 2025 10:33:15
I always wondered what happened to them SS do they still have there stadium then I take it with those crowds?
3.) 20 Apr 2025 10:37:58
SS, could i ask you what ties we have with Bury?
I'm not doubting you, it's just I've never heard this mentioned before.
4.) 20 Apr 2025 10:52:30
Hi Mark, it's more a recent thing. If you do a Google search, or go on the FF forum, you'll see what I mean.
5.) 20 Apr 2025 10:54:40
I played against them since they have come back and have done wonders for lower league football with their attendances, they always brought a great atmosphere to games. Hope to see them back in the EFL in a few years.
6.) 20 Apr 2025 11:03:13
Thanks, Sunshine.
7.) 20 Apr 2025 11:04:16
Yes Storm, they are back playing at Gigg Lane. I've never been down myself, but I'm going to make a point to get down next season for a couple of games.
I've never been in Bury, so I have no idea what it's like, but the guys that have been down, said it was a fantastic experience and they were made to feel very welcome.
8.) 20 Apr 2025 11:09:40
Sunshine, I know Ian Davie well, a bury supporter mate, he drove a minibus up for Rangers games on a few occasions in recent seasons.
9.) 20 Apr 2025 11:29:39
That's fantastic My Star, pass on my congratulations mate.
From stories I've heard, and the lads I met up at Ibrox, they really are top guys down there.
Brilliant story Youngblue, hope you had a great game. Yip, the have done wonders!

I will do mate.

i never knew either, brilliant news, and great black pudding makers in bury.
12.) 20 Apr 2025 12:32:13
Absolutely superb story regarding bury fc sunshine ?May they continue to flourish as they were always a cracking club with a long history, i wish bury fc all the very best and sympathise so much with their plight ☹️.
13.) 20 Apr 2025 12:33:20
Bury fc always seemed to have a connection to rangers, would i be correct in assuming that guys ?.
14.) 20 Apr 2025 14:02:56
I honestly don't know Coops?!
My first interaction with them was a friendly at Ibrox in SG's first game where I met a few of the guys who were top notch. There has then been a couple of games down there in memory of Lee Rigby, another few games up here where I've bumped into them, and some of our fans travelling down for some of their games.

Unbelievable how many years have passed SS.

Sad.

Can remember that day like it was yesterday. horrible, no fan should go to a game and never come home RIP.
4.) 15 Apr 2025 19:24:20
Was playing myself that day and our centre half had a son playing for Nottingham Forest, was a worrying time as we came off as no one knew what had happened
Horrendous day, YNWA!
5.) 15 Apr 2025 19:48:03
Always remember the aftermath, I think it was the two young lasses funeral, "hicks" was their name I think, and they played "with or without you" at the funeral, always stuck in my mind, tragedy, God rest.
Sunshine supporter FC's rumour replies
14 Jun 2025 11:14:11
Thanks Storm.
What he will bring is experience, and organisation, which I'm sure you'll agree, has been sorely missing. We do not have anyone who can do that, so on that basis, he improves our defence straight away.
14 Jun 2025 10:42:16
If the rumours are true, and we are trying to sign Darling, along with the likes of Coady and Toffolo, then right away, our defence has improved tenfold. Sort out our weakness at RB, and we will have one solid defensive unit.
07 Jun 2025 14:44:28
He was never going to make it, and the boy is no better than very average. The only reason he was in the team was because of who was in charge, and how rid rotten we've been.
The boy is a dyed in the wool Rangers man, so I wish him all the very best when he goes.
06 Jun 2025 09:16:09
"Martin rates Dowell"?! ??
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why this salad tossing, green party member, wet wipe, who we now have in charge, will be a disaster.

Tav is done! He needs dropped, and stripped of the captaincy, and RM confirming this, hasn't done him any favours. Just another reason why he'll fail miserably!
