Don't understand how people can take positives about us still being second, second in a shite league, the lowest we'll finish would be 4th and that's with a team of nobody's, I don't think Warburton is the answer, but again who would want the job the now, just after transfer window and team is so poor. Not a Rangers team

The positives are pretty obvious to me!

1 We are second in the league immediately after promotion despite little investment in the team that won us the Championship and promotion
2 We are solvent which considering our ongoing losses and recent history is a huge plus point
3 We have a manger who has a vision for the club in the future - hence persevering with a style of play and inducting the youth teams in the same style rather than solely worrying about the next result

Of course there are also negatives
We are performing poorly on the pitch but so long as we are second by the end of the year we will have a bit more cash to improve for next year

Alternatives
Plenty of folk on here are quick to criticise and point out the negatives but I rarely see any constructive alternatives being put forward that are based on reality

We could try to borrow £50m and we might win the league next year but we have learned that that is not a viable option even if we could raise the debt

We could all get down on our knees and pray for a fairy godmother or sugardaddy to smother us in riches and precocious talent with Pep or Jose to boot

I just don't see any short term fixes - whilst depressed about some of our performances and results, I firmly believe that we are on the best available trach to restore the club to the position it should be in.

1. Only second because we have played a game more. Realistically we are 3rd behind a team with a fraction of our budget and in danger of slipping further at this rate.

2. Solvent but not self sufficient.

3. We have a manager with no clue. He "preserves" our style of play because he doesn't know how to change it.

Why this obsession with money and being 2nd? We're so far bend 1st place it's an embarrassment! Our manager is inept, he's not a winner, he has constructed a team of lightweights who are not good enough! With the exception of Miller not one of them deserves to wear a Rangers shirt (MacKay still to prove his worth)

Still no alternative route put forward though?

Come on gosman and iwdawson, you can be negative all day long but you need to think hard about a better solution.

There is no fairy godmother or sugardaddy waiting in the wings with a blank cheque

Pep, Jose, DeBoer etc are way above our pay potential

We have no money to invest in £5m players (who would not want to play in Scotland anyway)

Let me see your alternatives.

Find a manager who'll look at our squad and play to their strengths, not one who'll try force a philosophy onto players who don't have the ability to pull it off.

ive spat the dummy out and I've joined the negative nellys for a while as I think the style he is playing is great if you have the quality to play it but we don't and without serious investment we will never have it under his reign.

if u see from last year we had a poor defence he didn't do anything about it in the summer when he should have but okay he was concentrating on the middle of the park which last year was our strongest part!

then to have no defenders in the January after abysmal performances all season is just unacceptable.
there Is the reason I have spat the dummy
