Seen big boss Walter around the place recently. No wonder we've been good since the start. The cavalry has arrived to point out Stevie and co's past mistakes. Walter Smith doesn't just show up at training for the last few days, just to pass the time of day. He's having input and by looking at what's going on, Stevie is man enough now to accept his mistakes and is trying to improve and change. The RFC board is pushing out the boat this season to give us 55. There is no alternative. We will win.



28 Aug 2020 21:42:43
Smith has had no in put at all.



28 Aug 2020 22:13:46
KJA9 - prove that statement. How do you know? Always badgering people who post. Give it a break.



28 Aug 2020 22:20:59
Pure fantasy.



28 Aug 2020 22:30:01
if we were going to let sir Walter dictate how things were going to be done, he'd be back in his brown brogues. Let him enjoy his retirement, he's earned it.



28 Aug 2020 22:33:05
I’d be surprised if that was his motive and no manager would put up with someone brought in to point his mistakes out. it’s only a good thing for our club tho if Legends like him are around and I’m sure SG enjoys and listens during the convos. Can’t get enough legends like Mr Smith around training complex and Ibrox.,



28 Aug 2020 22:50:01
SG admitted at the start he'd talk to Walter. Who wouldn't?

Consulting and chatting with a club legend is a completely different thing to Walter being the coach behind the scenes.



28 Aug 2020 22:50:56
I'm quite sure Gerrard has had input and advice from smith and many others in the game. Maybe not during training sessions though to be fair👍.



28 Aug 2020 23:00:10
You hear in interviews with managers all the time that they speak with other managers, ex managers/ team mates etc. i'm sure Walter and others will talk to Gerrard, offer advice but not formally and not bluntly to point out his mistakes.



28 Aug 2020 23:15:55
100% gerrard and coaching staff will have been happy to have sir walter on the training pitch and steven gerrard has stated before he picks sir walters brains on football what footballw man wouldnt.



29 Aug 2020 00:20:23
Didn't say anywhere that Walter was a behind the scenes coach. To the doubters, kja, Snell, sir Walter, etc. look at today's training photos released by RFC. Uploaded by RFC. On RFC official website. Walter is there beside stevie. Training pitch. Today. Photographs of them. Together. Players close by. If it's fantasy and he has no input, why is he there? Just to pass the time of day? He's just there to look at the grass and pissy clouds and not pass comment on anything? I'm just an old retired successful RFC manager with no helpful suggestions whatsoever because I'm retired. Any help to win the league is imperative. He can say anything he likes to Stevie because he has earned the right. Anyhoo, the whiners on here don't bother me. its all keyboard banter. I can take a pisstake.



29 Aug 2020 01:20:10
Im 57 in the building trade for 40 years and still learning even more from older people

The old saying "The day when you know everything is the day you die"



29 Aug 2020 07:33:38
Who cares? He either gives advice or he doesn’t.

Either way, it’s not really something to get all excited about on here.

This I’m right your wrong, my dads bigger than your dad just gives the Celtic fans ammunition to say that our fans are thinker than theirs.



29 Aug 2020 09:11:25
Well if any of you listen to Stevie G. He has stated many times that he has phoned Walter for advice etc throughout his time as manager so he must be lieing eh. Its isn't an official capacity or anything its simply advice. and let's be honest he would be silly not to ask this legend for advice.



29 Aug 2020 09:24:58
Correct Kri55. SG recognises Sir Water as source of immense experience and wisdom to tap into. Sir Walter loves the club, brings no ego and is available for a quiet word of advice if called on. Absolutely love pic of SG and Sir Water together.



29 Aug 2020 09:53:30
Lets hope when we win the league this year we can ask Sir Walter to do the trophy presentation or the flag unfurling!



29 Aug 2020 10:13:31
Walter has seen and done it over the years. Stevie is a very smart and knowledgeable young manager who is driven and, in his own words, not averse to consulting the old fox from time to time. Put two and two together. Not saying Walter is picking the team or anything as ludicrous as that, but obviously Stevie gets some very useful pointers from time to time.



29 Aug 2020 10:51:41
I think there is a bit of truth in there somewhere of course SG would listen to WS of course he’d listen but each manager has his own ways of managing and to say SG has accepted his mistakes and WS is there to correct them is wrong in so many fronts, if that was the case WS would day be the manager he would take responsibility for his decisions and I can’t see SG allowing someone else’s ideas to be used on his team and rightly so can we not accept that WS can walk in and out of our training ground as he pleases he is a legend of our club and while he is there they will chat and SG will listen and if they both agree the advice may be used but to say he’s there to point out SGs mistakes is wrong.



29 Aug 2020 11:51:08
Everyday is a school day 🔴⚪️🔵.



29 Aug 2020 13:44:05
Baz . u don’t know he has, so now you badger ka. As I try to say on here many times people should try respect opinions or as all just closing site down.



29 Aug 2020 16:18:44
That was a long debate on nothing then, he’s been talking occasionally with Walter for 3 years,



29 Aug 2020 17:11:11
seriously, if you have met walter while talking to sandy jardine, class does operate that way.



29 Aug 2020 23:29:30
It was leaked last week that walter comes into training to talk to the players about what rangers means, this season in particular and that the players are "terrified" of him. No tactical input, just motivation.



02 Sep 2020 12:32:49
Having Sir Walter around the club has to be nothing but a positive thing. He got the best out of every player in his teams. Players would run through brick walls for him.



28 Aug 2020 16:22:56
Seen some posts regarding us being interested in a Russian midfielder

What's more interesting is apparently Rangers have came out and said it's not true

And the reason I find it interesting is they have came out and said it's rubbish very quickly

Yet the amount of players were linked with daily the usual suspects
There has been no mention from rangers at all

Why they so quick off the mark on this rumour? Weird one for me?



28 Aug 2020 16:45:52
SG said it’s rubbish.



28 Aug 2020 19:19:02
If Gerrard has shot it down I would tend to believe it. He was quick to shoot down the Nsame from Young Boys link.



28 Aug 2020 19:48:50
On a free but several Clubs interested.



29 Aug 2020 20:25:13
Out of all the chances we had today against Hamilton we should have scored a barrel load, but most of our shots were in the side netting or over the bar. But if we could get nsame from young boys in then and only then we would be scoring 6 OR seven goals in every game. I don't understand why SG was quick to shoot it down about nsame as he would be a fantastic striker and would be a hero and idol with us rangers fans. So SG should go and get him now as well as the Russian midfielder from zenit st Petersburg.



29 Aug 2020 21:57:20
the russian would add that extra bit of class to our midfield. Have seen him a few times and it would be a masterstroke by us if he came. But we are looking for players and no doubt every free agent of decent quality will be linked. But being linked to that quality of player will never be a bad thing.



28 Aug 2020 13:30:05
Looks like we've submitted plans for the new building to replace Edmiston house this morning 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.



29 Aug 2020 16:16:27
Can anyone post a pic of the new building in sightings page?



28 Aug 2020 13:13:44
According to the sun We are targeting Zenit midfielder Daler Kuzyaev' on a free transfer. Don't know much about him. Played a few times for Russia national team.



28 Aug 2020 15:44:08
Looks a player, scored a great goal vs them in europa league.



28 Aug 2020 15:51:11
The boy’s definitely a player, but not sure this is anything more than papertalk.



28 Aug 2020 15:53:35
Bluebell, the 12thman is quoting a story in the sun. You're in for it now 12thman🤭😂😂👍.



28 Aug 2020 16:18:35
Bankie it can't be paper talk, it must be true if someone has posted it and the 12thman must believe it🙄👍.



28 Aug 2020 16:50:30
Send it on I have very thick skin Coldo 🤷‍♂️.



28 Aug 2020 16:55:01
They need to get one right eventually. Why not with the Russian.



28 Aug 2020 17:07:55
The 12th said "according", you were quoting Jackass from the Daily Rebel as gospel to back up your take on the Morelos Lille bid!
Owned again Mr Thumbs Up! 😜😂👍👀.



28 Aug 2020 17:24:15
If bb is claiming he owns you Coldo your in trouble mate,

He thinks nobody who plays for Rangers can be a snake, I say throw away a black armband worn in honour of a former player and you virtually stop trying while taking wages for 6 months then he’s a snake, end of.



28 Aug 2020 17:24:24
Actually I said "daily record saying".



28 Aug 2020 17:37:15
Gift that keeps giving tom👍.



28 Aug 2020 18:34:47
What do you think the difference is bluebell between "according to the sun" and "daily record saying"? Do you think both statements mean the same thing and are not the opinion of the poster? 🤔👍.



28 Aug 2020 18:35:58
All in the context Mr Thumbs Up. You forgot you added - I thought we had already rejected a bid of 16mil🤔👍.
As for TomThumb, anybody who uses Tim patter of calling a current Rangers player a snake is well worth the watching. 👍👀 End of😂😂😂.



28 Aug 2020 18:40:11
What about the rest of the team, 'that virtually stopped trying' while taking a wage? 🤔
What are they? 🤔.



28 Aug 2020 19:05:44
I asked the question bluebell, its nothing to do with context. Its down to a lack of reading properly. Same as you read my post of the picture about the conversation between the tims about aribo completely wrong. You are trying too hard👍.



28 Aug 2020 19:42:42
Do you realise that you all bickering over who said what and what was implied ruins any decent thread on here.
Nobody cares!
OP the original post is interesting and a bit gutted to see we aren't interested especially as he is a freebie. I wonder if we have someone else in the pipeline to be so uninterested?



28 Aug 2020 21:17:45
Am sure we do bluegenuis. No idea who though.



29 Aug 2020 17:12:54
coldo swimming impossibly. no news there. 12th no need to get anything right mate. its a rumour page!



27 Aug 2020 21:22:58
I have read that Olympique de Marseille want to sign Morelos but only on loan. Supposable Gerrard has told them he will not loan him out its sale or nothing.



28 Aug 2020 04:36:59
Say we let morellos out on loan to me 3 year contract we rate him at 20 million so 6/ 7 million 1 year loan fee plus his wages he’s playing in a better league and if he does well your talking mega money.



28 Aug 2020 06:05:52
Marseille qualifies for champs league so Morelos maybe happy to go there but they are skint apparently. Maybe a loan with obligation to buy could be worked out. Not so sure that helps us currently though as we seem to be waiting on the funds before moving on with our own business.



28 Aug 2020 09:14:21
Just sell him no loans. What if he goes there and flops on a loan deal.



28 Aug 2020 10:21:23
When are rangers going to admit they have priced morelos out of a move and are stuck with him. Unbelievable he is considered for selection tomorrow. itten and roofe need 90 minutes matches to help their fitness. The more you play morelos in present form the more his value depreciation.



28 Aug 2020 10:42:46
6 counties well worded 👍.



28 Aug 2020 11:09:33
Still can't believe we sold Jelavic for 5.5m.



28 Aug 2020 11:48:46
SOS if we weren't absolutely on are arse cash wise then we would have easily got double that.



28 Aug 2020 12:41:17
What? You actually say “ when will rangers admit they have priced the player out of a move and are stuck with him? .

And someone actually said “ well worded”

Actually lost for words, have you ever known a club to say that like?
Pathetic even for you mate.



28 Aug 2020 12:42:14
Morelos will not start tomorrow.



28 Aug 2020 14:03:25
Do you look for spiders so you can pull their legs off mate, or you too busy burning pictures of Rangers players.



28 Aug 2020 14:13:29
i think Morelos will play, but depends on how he has been training. He is still considered the number 1 striker. like it or not. and to not play him, removing him from the shop window will devalue him quicker than any attitude he may have.



28 Aug 2020 14:17:21
If we have rejected 16mil then we have priced him out of a move because he isn't worth 16mil. 👍.



28 Aug 2020 15:48:16
In the current transfer climate Morelos is definitely worth 16m plus but currently only Lille have made an offer and Marseille have expressed an interest in taking him on loan.
Ideally we would be better with a permanent transfer as he has indicated that he wants to move.
The money would let us bring in other players to strengthen the team but if he was to go out on loan this would on save us money on the wage bill and also receive any upfront loan fee.
Hopefully this transfer saga comes to an end soon.



28 Aug 2020 17:29:08
The truth is, we could all wake up Tom and find another club has been in talks and he’s away, nobody’s seriously believing other clubs haven’t been kept informed, be very unusual if that was the case, unless someone has a close friend of a coach who is in the know.



28 Aug 2020 18:27:20
Rangers have not priced morelos out a move he is worth £20mil+. If dumbelle is worth that morelos is better than him. Then you have to look at Odsen edourd at celtic they rat him at £50mil and they will prob get £30mil for him so why should we not want best money for our players.



28 Aug 2020 19:17:36
Dembele is a far better player morelos and so is eduoard, by a country mile. C'mon ibroxstorm you can't really be serious. 👍.



28 Aug 2020 22:35:26
Alf is nowhere near the level. of dembelle and Edouard and unfortunately for him, probably never will be. Bottom half epl or more than likely a championship level player.



28 Aug 2020 23:10:39
Like him or not. Hate his face or love it he has been a goal machine for us. I wish he would have scored against Celtic but when he doesn't score he bullies defenders and makes their life a misery. Most of Alfredo's goals he made almost single handed. Everyone else has to start chipping in and helping him.

Gerrard got exactly what he wanted this week by dropping him. His nose is out of joint with roofe playing and scoring and itten playing as a two up front.

When he's been crap Gerrard says so, so if he says he's been training with a rocket up a*se then I believe him too.

I bet u at the very least he has a say in the game tomorrow.



28 Aug 2020 23:15:07
Keep in mind we got Alf for £1 million and they paid £9 million Édouard! So I'd say he's progressed pretty amazingly if we could get between 15 and 20 million for him. That's quite an increase from his previous value

And he's scored more than the both of them in his seasons here so how is he not at their level?!?!

Was he not the top goal scorer in Europe prior to our departure?



29 Aug 2020 17:05:17
being "overpriced" maybe we have a refocused player.



29 Aug 2020 22:15:57
Cant believe some of the comments on here. The comparison of morelos to edouard. If you swapped the 2 put morelos in celtic and edouard in our team you honestly think morelos would score less goals? I know edouard wouldn't score as much. People say we have a crappy league so let's look at Europe last season. Morelos was top scorer in Europa league prior to C.V.. that's not just between the 2 that's in the tournament. Any other team in the contest he would easily command 25 million minimum for a 24 year old Colombian international. let's look at players who have went for bigger fees mcburnie was 20million plus. The guy struggles to get into a pish poor Scotland team and was never tested above championship level. Solanke went for big money and played less matches in his career than morelos in a season. Also probably scored less career goals at the time than alfie scored last season.
We will never get anywhere if our players are constantly undervalued. You honestly believe edourd is worth double what morelos is worth.
