I don't have any information but since arrival of Patrick Stewart I'm getting more and more connections to man utd. I expect a player or manager or coach to be announced very shortly. I feel it in my water ?.
1.) 11 Jan 2025 14:16:52
Jonny evans perhaps ?.
2.) 11 Jan 2025 14:19:18

As we continue with the gnashing of teeth and being on the receiving end of continuous baiting from across divide spare a thought for Chelsea. 1.5 billion spent. No striker and a lossed last night. These things happen in football. that's why you can bet on it. QP was a debacle but it happens and we move on. No other choice. We don't walk away.
1.) 15 Feb 2025 09:49:28
Being beaten off qp and brighton are 2 different stratospheres tbh.
2.) 15 Feb 2025 09:55:36
Absolutely no comparison the premier league is incredibly competitive, Brighton have spent over 200 million on players and every game is a challenge no matter who you play. It just demonstrates how important a good manager is that's what makes the difference, you don't win the league with a bad manager.
3.) 15 Feb 2025 09:56:55
Mustcatin we are closer to queens park in terms of money to spend than we are to chelsea. We 100% need to move on.
4.) 15 Feb 2025 10:14:20
Livi i'm not sure why that's relevant to my comment.
5.) 15 Feb 2025 10:18:21
And beaten them twice in a week.
6.) 15 Feb 2025 10:52:55
Yes shocks can happen to any club but it's the form around them that concern me. One win in 7 away from Ibrox before QP is the bigger worry.
7.) 15 Feb 2025 11:19:59
Correct Kaiser ?.
8.) 15 Feb 2025 11:20:58
It's just not the same.
9.) 15 Feb 2025 11:45:31
Storm, 100% not the same they spend 1.5 billion and we need to borrow over 100m to keep our lights on, we are is the process of sorting this out now, our club has been broken for years but we're heading in the right direction now, but we will still have many more bumps in the road with any manager, still further wages cuts need made but we just need to trust the process and support our great club and the players on the park.
10.) 15 Feb 2025 12:11:09
In your opinion we are heading in the right direction, Mystar?
Until we get a new manager we will not be going in the right direction in my opinion.
You say bumps in the road. I say there are unacceptable defeats and Queen's Park was unacceptable.
11.) 15 Feb 2025 12:12:27
I accept it's a different league but I'm sure after spending 1.5 Billion, they were still shocked to lose. No? got humped 3-0 by Brighton. Shocks happen particularly in a one off cup game. We back PC, await an exciting window and move onwards and upwards, but slowly. Have you got the patience? No quick fixes when your broke!
12.) 15 Feb 2025 12:22:35
Morning Colonel, in my opinion you can't compare, for the reason that Chelsea are playing teams in a far higher quality of league, we should not be losing to the other teams we've lost to so far, as I said above, bo backbone in our case.
13.) 15 Feb 2025 12:29:52
Beside the obvious in terms of value and quality, there is a lot of similarities between our squad and Chelsea's.
Both are young and inexperienced, are capable on their day, but when things get difficult, both squads are very vulnerable.
14.) 15 Feb 2025 12:47:16
Be many more bumps in the road storm and it matters not about any manager we have, our players thinking that game was won before being on the park against qp is what lost us that game, shocks happen all over the planet in cup games.
15.) 15 Feb 2025 13:16:39
Tend to Agree mystar.
16.) 15 Feb 2025 13:42:32
Going by squad valuations ( from Transfermarket ) , the Chelsea squad is valued at 42% more than Brighton.
Going by squad valuations ( from Transfermarket ) , the Rangers squad is valued at 95% more than Queens Park.
There is no correlation to a team 8th in the EPL beating a team that is 4th and a team that is 5th in the Scottish Championship beating a team that is 2nd in the SPFL.
The team and manager underperformed last Sunday.
17.) 15 Feb 2025 13:56:24
Didnt brighton finish above chelsea last season? So hardly a shock. Nothing about them playing each other is relevent to us being humbled off qp. That would be more like liverpool being beaten off Accrington stanley as a comparison.
18.) 15 Feb 2025 14:29:44
I agree with you there My Star regarding the attitude against QP, big headed under achieving shower who got what they deserved.
11 Feb 2025 08:49:12
We all know and feel gutted after the cup result. These things will happen and I'm not being blasé about it. To survive we need to buy prospects, bring them on and sell. Obvious. We get that bit. But when you field a team with 50% prospects and youth, you're going to experience some bumps in the road.
As much as it hurts, and it does, it's going to take time and two more windows to settle. It's going to take time. However, there are some understandably are not prepared to wait and rip it up and start again. Not for me.
1.) 11 Feb 2025 11:24:27
Absolutely agree. So many not looking at the bigger picture. We are in a mess and this will take time. Any new manager will be working under the same circumstances and restrictions as PC.
2.) 11 Feb 2025 12:53:41
Not for me either.
3.) 11 Feb 2025 13:14:22
Sir Struth I agree with that to extent but how do you weed the poor managers out if it's always down to the club being a mess, that can't be an excuse for Sunday or countless games that the team should be doing better in, that's down to failures with the players and ultimately the man who coaches them.
If we continue down this road then god knows where it will lead to.
4.) 11 Feb 2025 14:01:41
Colonel, this is the first time we have ever lost at Ibrox to a lower league club.
This is the worse defeat in our history so it cannot just be dismissed by saying these things happen, the manager should have been sacked on Sunday night.
10 Feb 2025 09:18:31
One minute surprise n PC we trust next get him gone. What PC did he n Belgium might be good on the cv but it has no bearing today. It's results based which gives you your stock today. Results in league and cup abysmal, however in Europe credible.
Can't manage park the bus hit on the break tactics but can manage open play . Tongue in cheek as PC is going nowhere as we are broke let's have two managers, PC for Europe and a Scot for league? ??.
1.) 10 Feb 2025 09:56:32
Correct Colonel history guarantees nothing in the future?.
2.) 10 Feb 2025 10:43:37
Dont disagree really but how do you then choose the next manager if you ignore his history? The cv of the next manager needs to be manages a club in transition, with a really poor budget, with players who don't try and is able to set up a team to break a low block. and that doesn't guarantee it as we don't know if he will manage to replicate it in Scotland.
It's a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.
3.) 10 Feb 2025 11:10:14
Kjetil Knudsen manages on a vastly inferior budget to PC.
4.) 10 Feb 2025 11:55:08
The manager is responsible for creating a culture where laziness and lack of effort isn't tolerated it's one of his key objectives, he needs to make sure when that team takes to the field they are confident and raring to go. Yesterday from the start we looked slow and clueless, passing the ball around the halfway line expecting a lower tier side to come onto us was baffling. We created virtually nothing, a few shots on target which made their goalkeeper look good, we never played through them until Dessers had a chance late on. I think this season has been diabolical we simply don't know how to play against a low block or score from a set piece .
04 Feb 2025 09:18:32
Well in truth I'm a wee bit disappointed this morning. With us dealing very quietly now and John saying Stewart, Koppen and Clement at training ground. I felt something was going to happen. But unfortunately nothing. Were they there. If so, Why were they there?
Other than that I'm happy with things evolving and EHL info re summer business. Onwards.
29 Jan 2025 10:59:17
Thanks John as ever. Feeding us a titbit. Keeps us going. He has given us clues. It's like an episode of traitors! So a player leaves and good savings made. this will happen Thursday so I imagine he is in the squad. Also a player who is . just ok. announced Friday. Just ok does not indicate Cameron. Oh the excitement. I hope it's Ridvan out. It may be Katic to end of season while Fernandez gets up to speed. Have my doubts on this. Keeps the interest up and the submissions high. Oh. and room ready at 1 DG. I'm excited ?.
18 Feb 2025 09:14:32
Jefte is our fittest LB but can't defend. So he's not our best LB. Shows we need a LB and a RB for that matter and a big tough CH. We need a lot.
I'm so frustrated also. 4 m for Cortez. Hasn't kicked a ball. It's unbelievable.
17 Feb 2025 08:19:29
By the time PC completes his contract. and he will, his Moroccan assistant will be fully up to speed to step up. A good prospect. and we are now dealing with ' prospects '. More importantly, no wasted money sacking PC and no costs sourcing a manager. Who will be up and running immediately. Simples and cost effective.
16 Feb 2025 14:57:13
Solkjaer oh no. Ten Haag. got to be nonsense. I believe we have already recruited our next manager as I and EHL have previously mooted.
15 Feb 2025 12:19:26
Sorry JFM08 you're absolutely right oops ?.
15 Feb 2025 09:34:07
Chill chaps. It's an automated survey of your match day experience. Not the result obviously. No doubt if they didn't ask they would face criticism. I think we need to look up the word Banter. so much moaning ?.
16 Feb 2025 14:49:34
PC has Not lost the dressing room! No way.
16 Feb 2025 14:48:00
We are a bit lightweight Athole. Lose a lot of 50/ 50 tackles.
16 Feb 2025 09:59:50
Dessers for me. 60 mins. Igamane on.
16 Feb 2025 09:59:50
Dessers for me. 60 mins. Iganame on.
