Barry and his management team are not responsible for the position we are in, that lies squarely with the board.
However, I hope this ends the ridiculous posts from fans wearing BF cheerleading outfits and waving red, white and blue pom-poms. Because the impact that is being stated is simply not there, if he was our permanent manager right now most fans would be shouting for him to get the sack with our recent performances and results.
Barry is a Rangers legend as a player and will remain so no matter what happens for the rest of the season.
But he does not have the attributes to be Rangers manager. Managers who are far better equipped for success have failed miserably in recent years because the job has been a hugely difficult one.

True tommygun. He was never going to be our manager mate.

Agree with that.

We have a major problem, and much of it is down to us our supporters .
Of course it is right that we drive our club and team on to success . However we are in my opinion, too demanding we push Board and club to achieve more than is possible into too short a time .
We aren't allowing team to evolve and build success on top of success. Every other season we seem to be pulling team apart and start rebuilding not only with players but managers are changed after little more than a year . The pressure and desire that us supporters exert creates nerves among our players and coaches . One defeat can start a sequence of bad results. We can get results against fairly good European teams and Celtic, but we fall too often against opponents we should take apart.
The Board has to act like a Board and lay down a realistic blue print for success . If we are going to be taken over by Sf 49 ers let us be sure that building a successful football team is their number 1 objective, that they use a successful team as the builder of wealth, rather than build wealth and then worry about team A take - over to improve team is great, a take - over to make rich men richer is no good at all. Success won't come over night, it has to be built up from sound foundations.

I agree that fan expectation has contributed to the managerial merry-go-round that has happened in recent seasons.
But the club at every level, players, managers, football direction, recruitment, club direction has been chaotic. Not one part of the club has had any stability and when we are run like that the chances of success are next to none, it's why I blame the board.
I am really optimistic about the new owners, not because of millions of pounds but because the things I have picked up about them point to them being proper operators. I believe they can bring the stability and leadership needed to run a successful sporting organization.
I think next season will be similar to this if I am honest as the summer will be another mass turnover of players. But beyond that I am sure we will compete on a regular basis.

Firstly apologies, know I have been ranting a bit recently, but something has not been sitting well with me regarding refereeing of Rangers recently. Now starting to see more of you see this and wanted to put a few points across.
I did not want to comment on the VAR till I seen it myself.
I just have and it's utterly damning. If you compare the first two incidents they review it's honestly night and day.
On the Kilmarnock one the ref explains what he has given and immediately ask ref to delay, they then establish point of contact, then go into discussion with each other, agree that it's potential serious foul play from multiple angles, in slow motion and real time, then recommend on field review.
It's genuinely fantastic, exactly how VAR should work and shows the process is there.
Then you listen to the Cup final one and they are just saying "it's just outside" over and over till the end when it changes to he's more outside than in.
The difference is stark and damning.
None of them can be allowed anywhere near a Rangers game again. Which means they need to be sacked as you can't have referees that don't manage certain clubs.

I Understand the frustration from fans shouting for Clement to go. We have all seen yesterday before, with better players than we have right now, I might add.
It's an easy option to blame Clement, get rid of him and it will be all better. Just like you all said with Gio and Beale when that was never going to be the case.
He was given an extension in the Summer because those in charge obviously recognised that there are no quick fixes to years of mismanagement.
Our squad of players is lacking in quality and will take at least a couple of more transfer windows to get anywhere near to the level we need to be successful. We had a 27 player turnaround in the summer, reducing the wage bill massively, which is hardly a recipe for success.
We need some stability at the club after 4 managers in 3 years. To create an environment where these young players can progress. Am I totally convinced by Clement, no, but I am totally convinced more instability is the last thing we as a club need.

This is absolute nonesense. IT companies manage the infrastructure and applications that companies use. They do not access any data as that would breach data protection regulation which has fines based on turnover. For those that don't understand what that means, it is effectively unlimited fines. No IT professional would remotely consider doing what this guy says they are doing.

Know what's embarassing. Slagging posters on a rumour page.

This season is 99.9% on the board. PC got absolutely hung out to dry due to thier ongoing incompetence in running our club. He was not given the tools to do his job.
Having the best interests of the club at heart is no longer enough. I really hope this takeover works out as we need them gone as soon as possible.
10 Feb 2025 16:28:33
Couple of points, pretty sure managers are entitled to thier full contract, I know they can come to an agreement with club to take less so the clubs don't just put them on gardening leave. But legally when you sign a contract it's pretty much iron clad.
I really don't know if PC can be a success with us, but the money it would cost to get rid would take up a large chunk of the limited funds we have available for players. Personally I would rather we spend it on players that we desperately need, particularly in forward areas. Since he has been manager we have been lucky to have one fit wide player for basically his whole tenure, sometimes none at all. Turning to Yilmaz when Hagi was deservedly hooked yesterday shows how little we have available.
While that does not excuse yesterday's result it does give an idea what he has been up against, mainly due to poor recruitment over a number of years.

Complete nonsense Ally, CD9 was one of our better players last season.
If he does go which random player will you pick to blame if we lose again this season Ally.
Only thing that's clear to me is it will be someone else who won't deserve it.

3 wingers and a centre half. We can beat the low block teams in our league with greater threat in wide areas. Don't need to worry about them scoring a goal if we score 3 plus regularly like Celtic.

This sort of debate shows where we are as a fan base. I understand we are all frustrated but both Dio and Barron can contribute to our team going forward.
If we can add more quality to the squad, players around that quality can improve significantly. Especially younger ones like these two.

Football has moved on quite some way since those managers won for us. Also last manager to win the title was English.
Problem you find.
13 Apr 2025 22:16:39
I know your a fan but, dude, we've been terrible. We lack organization and have turned into a long ball team. Teams like Dundee, Aberdeen and Hibs that we have played recently have played much more progressive football than us.
I know we have issues with our playing squad so I don't blame Barry or the rest of the guys but it's clear as day they don't know what they are doing.
13 Apr 2025 20:43:56
He done the right thing. Can't fault the players too much as hardly any of them have played much recently. Hilarious that the sheep could not beat us from 2 nil and 10 men. Especially the last minute goal and the ensuing crying from shinnie, what's not to like.
