Now that the fallout from Wednesdays horror result has died down slightly, can I ask fellow Bears what they feel about seeking a billionaire backer that would guarantee to overturn the mankies dominance of the SPFL.

I still believe that due to our financial restraints, we need to give Stevie at least two season or even to the end of his contract if necessary to get us back to the top.

Am I right in thinking we turned down an American billionaire a few years ago because he wanted to rename Ibrox.

As far as I'm concerned I couldn't care less what the ground is called. The manks call it the asbestos dome etc., so what difference would it make to us.

It will always be the home of the great GLASGOW RANGERS regardless of the name.



25 Jan 2019 16:24:12
Wishful thinking. No return on an investment getting involved in Scotland.



25 Jan 2019 16:35:40
no no no. I don't want our club to become one of those clubs, I would rather build a self sustaining football club over time instead of having a sugar daddy. I would not rename our stadium either.



25 Jan 2019 16:38:51
We won’t get someone to put millions into the club, it’s not going to happen in Scottish football unless it’s a rangers fan who have millions spare they don’t want back.

We will match them and we will overtake them not today but with hard work and doing it the Rangers way it will come.



25 Jan 2019 17:36:54
Yeah the American billionaire Bill Miller was favourite to buy the club in 2012 until we fans unfurled banners at ibrox saying the "yank can **** off", great move by us! And then we ended up with Charles Green. Wonder where we would be if Miller had bought us.



25 Jan 2019 19:36:00
Do we really need a billionaire owner to beat a team like Kilmarnock? c'mon let’s be honest Wednesday just wasn’t good enough end of.



25 Jan 2019 19:50:24
horror result .

we lost 2-1 away to killie who are 2nd on merit

not what i wld call a horror result it was hardly 5-0 or a defeat to alloa

folk on here slating gerrard and saying defoe and davis signings are a mistake after 1game need to get a grip

the result hurts bit credit where it’s due to killie and wee bit of perspective please

just way i see it lads.



25 Jan 2019 21:34:37
We don't need billionaires to fund our club. Buy young talent like morelos. Players looking for pathway to england. Buy cheap bring them on for 2 or 3 years then sell on at big profit. Need to get rid of the 7 figure loan fees and buy a young player for that money. The worral loan makes no sense to me could have bought a tested spl defender for that money. Nothing special just good honest centre half. Money we have spent on defoe and davis loans could have got the 2 boys from hjk. I know i will get slaughtered for saying that but they looked like hungry players with decent talent and big potential.



25 Jan 2019 21:41:58
I think Dermot Desmond is considering a bid?



25 Jan 2019 21:59:21
Let's be honest It doesn't matter about a billionaire We should need millions to be beating teams like Kilmarnock!
No disrespect to Kilmarnock they've come on from Stevie Clarke's appointment, who I feel is doing better than Stevie Gerrard!
The problem was tactics were shocking!

We cannot be using the excuse of plastic pitches as every team is in the same boat in having to play Kilmarnock

Where we went wrong was we never set up to play two wingers and really go for the jugular and therefore stretch Kilmarnock, who were comfortable as a result Jordan Jones and co was always going to cause issues with that back two McAuley has no pace and Worrall reckons he is Pique at times and switches off!

Having Tav whipping crosses over and being often upfront than back caused more issues for our back two furthermore as there were no cover
No excuses these guys punished us because tactics were piss poor from Mr Gerrard on this occasion!

It seems our scouting network is lacking from our neighbours across the Rd Why go for experienced old friends in Defoe, not to forget the money He is earning, when we can got for young and hungry talent!

We are still a defender required and another striker
Why was Lafferty not playing up tops with Morelos To bring Defoe on for the last 20-25mins would've made more sense! That want happen though because we are paying good wages for him to be sitting on the bench!



25 Jan 2019 23:53:03
I'm sure in the past we all thought we had a sugga daddy in Murray but look where that got us and before we all jump on the post those that were there during the Murray era loved the fact we spunked money out on everyone and their granny! I'm Scottish football we don't have the luxury that they have in England where the can chuck millions at players knowing the tv revenue in one season covers it!

As pa previous poster says we have to find raw players looking for a springboard to the premiership or bigger leagues where we can cash in on in a couple of seasons time!

And I ain't even going to bite at the dermot post!



26 Jan 2019 10:17:36
Kyle. We have been trying for 6 years now.
Do we have to wait till the mankies get 12 in a row if stevie can't stop them.



26 Jan 2019 10:19:26
A billionaire backer, to win the spfl? are you mad. We should be able to win the league with what we have - just need a manager who knows what he's doing.



26 Jan 2019 10:37:54
Can't believe how bipolar our supporters are. Last week we were all buzzing and one bad performance to very good Kilmarnock side it's all Stevie G isn't good enough we need a new owner think everybody needs to calm down.



26 Jan 2019 19:35:55
We need to calm down but you have to admit the diamond formation didn't work - too narrow and no width.
Sebrofg - what would be your team v Livingston?
Surely SG must revert to a 4-3-3 formation.



26 Jan 2019 22:24:20
Copland i think we need to go to a 343. Greegs katic goldson [mcaulay] worral tav jack davis berisic candeis morelos kent.



26 Jan 2019 23:34:07
Millar was never serious and was just courting publicity. fact. no sensible person would invest in the Scottish league when the odds down south are grossly more attractive . especially in second tier.



27 Jan 2019 12:29:55
Mols, Celtic got a billionaire backer and still have him.



27 Jan 2019 12:39:48
No we don't want to rely on a billionaire. We want a club that sustains itself, a scouting system that identifies players of value other than wasting 2 or 3 mil on duds and a club that is able to scout, develop and bring through youth. 👍.



29 Jan 2019 00:05:50
Ha bluebilly are celtic happy with the millions and millions their backer is putting into buying players, not. that with all the dosh they've made when we were down says to me he’s no interest in spending . only bought disco lights so as he could hire groundbout for concerts and discos ha.



25 Jan 2019 14:15:55
Gers sign andy firth goalie fae barrow on 18 month contract think big wes could be off.



25 Jan 2019 15:33:14
Maybe he's going to play at CB.



25 Jan 2019 15:49:13
Or it could even be Shagger Tryan.

News has it he has slipped compared to start of season.



25 Jan 2019 17:08:47
Dont be daft billy blue. this lad coming from barrowbwill be 3rd choice to let McCrorie go out onloan for game time. He was barrow sub goalie .



25 Jan 2019 17:16:02
He'd need to be pretty poor not to be no2. Unfortunately Fod will be with us until his contract runs out or we strike a deal to get rid. I'm sure I read he was on £10k a week. Nobody will touch him on these wages. He's rubbish.



25 Jan 2019 17:30:44
Have to disagree there, Fod has been a very good keeper for us and was unlucky to drop to 2nd choice.



25 Jan 2019 18:57:44
It’s not unlucky if you just aren’t as good as the number 1. Brilliant backup for McGregor and hopefully stays till the summer.



25 Jan 2019 19:32:48
Blue billy what planet you on why would it be Mcgregor and he’s been excellent for us this season.



25 Jan 2019 21:25:20
Thing I find strange is our new goalkeeper appears to be 5ft 8 in.



25 Jan 2019 22:04:46
Yeah Jboy21 he has been slotted into the under16s 😂😂😂.



25 Jan 2019 23:56:30
Fod is rubbish .

I shake my head at that comment!

Maybe not the best distribution but he done us well when he had to .

Short memories I say!



26 Jan 2019 16:57:09
Fod is a cracking goalkeeper done fantastic for us.



26 Jan 2019 19:38:19
Don't understand the Firth signing surely we should have kept Robbie McCrorie instead of sending him out on loan.



25 Jan 2019 09:49:52
Kamara will join before window closes as will kent on permanent deal. Also pre contracts being worked on for Stevie naismith, Martin skrtel and Alan hutton.



25 Jan 2019 09:55:54
If we manage a pre-contract for Skrtel then we should be negotiating to bring him in now. Goldson is the only one of our defenders I trust. I would say Katic but seems he's never going to play.



25 Jan 2019 11:31:57
Whilst I love Alan Hutton and rate him immensely I don't think bringing in a team full of previous players and older players is the way to go. We'd be better bringing through our highest quality youngsters and combining these with some of the best players in the league. I'd prefer McKenna from Aberdeen at the end of the season than Skrtel 100%.



25 Jan 2019 11:53:02
Wipendclean mckenna has absolute zero interest in coming to us. He wants to go south. if anything in Scotland it would be the tims.



25 Jan 2019 12:47:48
To be fair Hutton has been tremendous for Aston Villa but I don't think bringing back players is the way forward we need to bring players in with a sell on value and he doesn't have that at his age.



25 Jan 2019 12:59:30
Dear Marble and these 'rumours' come from where? I'd be happy if Kamara joins and Kent on a permanent deal but I'd only be interested in Naismith of the others. He'd grab goals in 'the hole' position.



25 Jan 2019 13:34:56
I don’t see Kamara as a starter for us so no need to get him in now, I see rossiter is linked with a loan to Motherwell, hopefully we can add 1 more player for our starting 11 before next Friday!



25 Jan 2019 15:42:32
Also let's not bring back anymore old players. Next thing you know wiess will pop up again, get jelavic whittaker weir while we are at it.



25 Jan 2019 15:43:48
No chance re McKenna, they are talking more than seven million
Good to see mccrorie going on loan, needs game time.



25 Jan 2019 16:45:45
Them that don't know McKenna will
Join the other side and it won't be
More than 4 mill
Back to Wednesday's game
We always came back from a break
With bad results.



26 Jan 2019 19:39:46
Bring back Halkett from Livingston.



25 Jan 2019 08:52:09
Any update as to whether Goldson will be fit for Sunday? If not I dread to think what will happen with the 2 bombscare's at the back at Livingston.
