Thoughts:
I believe Clement is a strong and capable manager. The board thinks so and good enough to placate him with an extended contract. Knowing fine well if he is poached it's big compensation. Win win.
2. I'm not young Kings biggest fan however I felt he played at RB very well. Worth a try to rest Tav. Dropping your captain is controversial but his defending is not up to the mark.
3 Clement is paid handsomely to man manage. Well, manage Cantwell back into the fold. If he performs it's a win win as he's in shop window too .
4. Hagi. What a waste of money. Get him in and play his preferred position. Pay him his due. It's cheaper than a new signing.
5. Controversial. Sell Butland for hopefully top money. Buy 3 outfield players. Butland is not devoid of mistakes.
6. Mix it up a bit. There must be more than a jefte/ cerny cross to Dessers.
7. All is not lost. We were 50/ 50 with Kieve until the ref made a dreadful decision. However Jefte was commitng fouls continually. He needs to look at that.
8. I believe we will weather this low period but it will take time. But our toxic fans can't wait. Being second best to the great Tims is hurting but we will prevail. Never surrender.

6 there needs to be more than dessers in the box. We need goals from everywhere not just a striker which some fans can’t understand.
2.) 16 Aug 2024 12:34:41
Correct Storm.
75% of our chances in the SPFL have fallen to others.
3.) 16 Aug 2024 13:22:40
Wasn't that long ago Aberdeen and Dundee utd were big clubs. Rangers going the same way.
4.) 16 Aug 2024 13:24:38
Been our issue for some time that storm, if our striker doesn't score we can't see where the goals are coming from. Sima at least offered goals from out wide and hopefully Cerny will too.

Thoughts:-
1/ agree
2/ not sure King is the answer
3/ shouldn't need to man manage anyone who doesn't want to play for the Famous.
4/ agree
5/ agree - everyone has their price
6/ to be fair, Jefte and Cerny haven't played much with Dessers. But I believe they could both provide better service than the Nigerian Goalscoring Prince has been receiving.
7/ Always room for improvement. Never say never.
8/ agree.

I`m pretty sure we would sell Butland for big money but as I`ve said before, I can`t see which EPL club needs a first choice keeper and would pay the money for him. I would love to see Cantwell back in the fold but he asked away, so its hard for the manager to start picking him . I disagree about King at right back he doesn`t have the pace or the attacking inclination to play there . I would ask why him and not Devine . I`m assuming your great Tims comment is tongue in cheek, as the annoying thing is, we lost last season not to a great team but a bang average one.

clemment needs to make changes or at least see what needs changing
against kyv lawerence was a no show
young barron and dio ran them selve
ragged to make up the missing man
jeffte shouuld have bèn subed before the red card mcauland needs to do more.
8.) 16 Aug 2024 14:04:28
we didn't score anywhere near enough goals last season.
9.) 16 Aug 2024 14:29:24
Cole79 that is nothing but nonsense, but made me smile, Rangers have to big a fan base for that, crowds income, plus the fact the money made by players in they days was nothing like it is now. Narey Bannon Milne Sturrock Malpas Miller McLeish and others would have moved on in this day for far bigger wages.
10.) 16 Aug 2024 14:54:58
1. Honestly hope he is poached. I don't believe he will take us forward. Seen no evidence.
2. Tav will never be dropped.
3. We must get Canteell back asap. He was one of our best players last season.
4. Agree to play Hagi too
5. Sell Butland now before he devalues anymore.
6. I'd be playing a 3-5-2
7.Jefte should have been taken off
8. It's not toxic fans. We are sick of watching under achievers, being paid handsomely week in week out.
11.) 16 Aug 2024 15:23:42
As1874 most toxic fans in my lifetime.
15 Aug 2024 09:47:28
Some points for discussion.
The excessive wages paid to players were an enticement to come to our very poor league. Consequently we can't move on players for a wage drop
2. Not Rangers class: I'm sick reading this. Really? A few on here have delusions about our great club. Be proud yes but be realistic. The players we dismiss as not being Rangers class is lamentable.
3. Crown jewel. Singular as we only have one. When Butland questioned the boards ambitions and was apparently appeased, youve got to wonder, why ask? Because he has serious doubts and is not 100% happy. He will move on. We need the money. We are unlikely to win very much while we rebuild and we have a good, not great, but a good reserve keeper to step up. Butland to finance new signings.
4. B team. Good young talent that needs a chance. However our toxic fans will destroy them. Destroy their confidence if they underperform. It's a quandary. If they don't get a chance they're off.
5. Knowing the league. Barron has demonstrated clearly that Scotland has some quality players we should utilise rather than the fancy foreign names. A mixture of both for sure
I expect to be shot down but it's only my thoughts. Onwards.
1.) 15 Aug 2024 10:51:34
Gd post colonel? only thing I'd add is we are reducing wages, how we going to attract players who can get more elsewhere bud, cheers ??.
2.) 15 Aug 2024 11:23:18
Colonel I give. U not rangers class
Davies
Matondo
Lawrence
Do well.
Hagi.

Colonel (and Robbie) - good posts.
Ive never felt as low as a Rangers fan but its not what's going on within the club, its how toxic the fanbase are making the club.
The internal stuff will sort itself out. We'll be back in an improved ibrox soon. Players will get up to speed. We'll go on an unbeaten run and all will be ok again with the section of negative fickle fans until we lose a game, then.
1. PC doesn't know what he's doing
2. The Board are clueless and only after a tie and blazer
3. Referees are celtic fans
4. Fellow fans are happy clappers
Etc etc.
I'm not saying things will be or are perfect. Maybe long term PC won't be a success but he'll have helped move us in the right direction, i. e. lowering wages, bringing younger players into the club, making us more self-sustainable, moving on players on high wages and poor performers etc.
I note guys who's opinion i respect like John, who says things will get worse before they get better. If they do i will weigh that up when and if it happens. Level-headed and maturely.
These incessant overreactions to paper or MSM snippets that are nonsense is wearing and has created this toxic atmosphere.
Players talk. Agents talk. You WILL put players off from signing for our club.
Think on.
4.) 15 Aug 2024 11:59:53
Debatable John however I was mainly referring to our interest in new signings. Written off as not Rangers Class. What exactly is that. Some would say Barron when with Aberdeen. currently one of our best players by a mile. And there's more in the league who can play week in week out in the poor league. Rangers class? Probably!
5.) 15 Aug 2024 12:00:23
John u can add ross McCausland and scott wright to that.
6.) 15 Aug 2024 12:01:14
O think we can all agree the squad is not where we want it to be. That for me also means the team is not able to execute PC football plan of an effective 4-2-3-1 or variations of.
Again I believe there are bargains to be had for EPL once their squads are set, good young players from all leagues (including our own), and I believe the club are working hard to try and move players on that we would rather weren’t here.
But until that happens we do need to rally round the team today. Dessers not your cup of tea (or in your eyes sub-standard), fair enough. But until such time as he’s replaced or sold give him and those like him your full backing! Toxicity helps no one at any level and often makes people dig in harder.
7.) 15 Aug 2024 14:19:37
Macnaughton yes the players are not good enough to play the system but we need a system that we stick with and recruit players that can play the system.
We cannot keep shifting to different systems that’s how we find ourselves in this mess, wrong players on high wages difficult to get out the building .
8.) 15 Aug 2024 18:06:39
Cool colonell
Paul remember I said Mcausland was terrible I got slaughtered told no boy and one of us.
Still a very poor footballer.

Maybe John25 can advise as I've had no answer on finance page. Bought rangers shares at last offer. There was a scheme that permitted small investors to buy shares for below 500 which was deemed to be the minimum. I contributed 100 PNDS via follow follow and after some time and delays etc I got my share certificate. . for 400 PENCE! No response from follow follow as I'm wondering where my other 96 quid went.
Any other guys had a similar experience or any insight into why this is . I've heard of costs but 96 quid is a tad expensive.
Help guys.
1.) 28 Jul 2022 17:37:17
The Colonel, you sure it’s not 400 25p shares you have received?
And still we follow on.
2.) 28 Jul 2022 18:06:54
Floyder thanks. I'm onboard celebrity EDGE cruise ship docked in Italy lol. And youve made me think! Am I going nuts? Bit spooky I think it's 400 pence.400 x 25
You could be right and I suspect I'm mad. Thanks I'll check on Saturday when I'm back. I'll watch livi game at Heathrow. c'mon the famous!
3.) 28 Jul 2022 18:19:39
Colonel it should be 400 x25p shares as floyder says.
Love celebrity edge.
4.) 28 Jul 2022 21:57:44
Thanks John25.it seems I'm losing it and as for the Edge. agreed superb. Magnificent ship. Now. let's get back to the famous!
11 Sep 2024 09:09:43
It was Shankland now it's Tav till we play again. Ok. Tav was an absolute bargain and has been a great servant always fit. Apart from Maeda he's up to the job in this league. Get off his back and appreciate his service until he leaves. Hopefully head held high.
11 Sep 2024 09:05:57
Don't knock due diligence. Save a heep of embarrassment down the road. Let the process take place and the right person will take the hot seat. Just because an appointment isn't made doesn't indicate it's gone wrong probably means it's gone right!
01 Sep 2024 11:15:20
Whether Hagi is a good guy or bad guy is immaterial. Whether his daddy is a fud or he's tried to escape is. immaterial. The boy had a contract offered accepted and signed. And now We Rangers want to renege on the said agreed contract is a disgrace. It should be honoured like the honourable club we claim to be. Play him. and sell him.
31 Aug 2024 07:40:02
Talking nonsense HB. The highland woke king? Just ridiculous.
22 Aug 2024 09:44:40
I would accept 1.7m for Tav and play King or Sterling RB. Do we honestly think only Tav can score penalties. Stand in front of those nets. you shouldn't really miss. Tav has been a great bargain servant but it's time to go.
12 Sep 2024 12:56:57
I am totally and completely confident of a win on Sunday. We will smash them. 4-0.
12 Sep 2024 12:54:55
David. Absolutely right. Barron is good and he does run about a lot but he is not captain material just yet. There's more to being a captain than being a good player. Other responsibilities I'm sure. Great wee guy but captain? Maybe in 5 years.
12 Sep 2024 09:16:10
He won't drop our captain end of. Not against Dundee anyway.
11 Sep 2024 08:59:55
I don't want to meet this Aunt ?.
11 Sep 2024 08:56:18
I'm not Divine's biggest fan but the boy did well when called upon. Didn't put a foot wrong. A good back up on low wages.
I also thought King was better in Tavs position. Did well I thought.
As for grammar police. I hate youse. just saying ?.
