Title: A post about nothing in particular
My Opinion has not changed since the start of the season. PC and Bennet need time to try and get this re-structure sorted. The rebuild was in 2012, this is different in my view. I fully get the spending on the infrastructure of the stadium and other avenues in a business world but in a footballing world we have went backwards. Basically investing in new revenue streams due to FFP but the main product is not very good. Leads to lots of frustration in the fan base. I also believe being back at Ibrox can help.
I believe we need to give the reigns to one individual that has a working relation with PC and they set the compass bearing to which hopefully the club reaches its goal. If that's Bennet then that's how we move forward. He is the only one that is in view. The board need to utilise him to reduce the stress level of the support. We do not need a CEO.
PC as a manager is trying to say the right things but again the majority don't understand micro success especially after getting humped by Celtic. He will I believe be given time but he needs to start thinking and understanding that our support are patient but can turn. So the motivational arguments keep for the players. We aren't bringing in the same quality just cheaper options, however over the long run it would need a disaster for us not to finish second. Not being defeatist but an objective view on things as they are now.
Let's put this to bed. SG won one trophy. He bolted because he saw what was coming. He did not want to ride it out. My biggest regret is GVB. He won a cup and got to a European final to get the push for Beale. That's a board decision but was all the board, not sure. Time to move on take the hits and we'll keep supporting the Teddy bears.

If he was trying to say the right things why we he highlight the win against Ross county after the humiliating defeat at the weekend. This seems like a man who is desperate.
2.) 04 Sep 2024 02:33:14
SG left because he wasn’t backed at the exact time he should’ve been backed. He was offered the Newcastle job a few months prior to taking the Villa job so why did he not just bolt to the EPL then?
The failings fall will the board and the fact they aren’t very good at running a football club.
I feel sorry for PC because I believe the board gave him false promises so he’s had his hands tied behind his back. But at the same time he isn’t inescapable from criticism himself. He needs to learn from his mistakes. If we can see that Tav is going to get ripped apart by Maeda then why can’t he. If we can see that every time we turn the ball over the other team are one pass away from being in on goal against us then why can’t he? It’s schoolboy stuff. His main goal for the rest of this year should be to give the team a structure and be hard to beat. If that means playing 4 CBs then do it. Talking about beating Ross County won’t fly with the support or about stats against Celtic.
3.) 04 Sep 2024 07:02:11
That's a decent balanced post Windy, we've been losing money or struggling to break even for years now, and we just had to bite the bullet. There's a chance Tav will still go to Turkey, and when tge new guys settle well gave the basis of a young sustainable team which we can add to every transfer window, the board gave millions to Beale in good faith and it didn't work out, I always thought Gio should have been backed and given time but the baying mob hounded him out too. Confidence and a leader in the middle of the park is all we're missing.
4.) 04 Sep 2024 08:44:00
Ausbear. You proved my point. Micro Success was Ross County. It’s a motivation tactic to see small improvements even when it seems it’s went pear shape. Best result in 4 years. Thus why I said “keep it for the players”.
5.) 04 Sep 2024 08:50:00
Blue SG wanted to keep players and bring in more on the same wage structure. He was backed. The board thankfully didn’t do that. Again micro success includes Ross County and yes Stats. Agree keep that out the press. As for Tav agree again. Now is the time to make his mark.
6.) 04 Sep 2024 08:50:30
Good post Windy and agree with everything except for the support being patient. I think he was looking to highlight those 'micro successes' in his post-match. when was the last time we beat RC or others 6-0 we tend to go 2 up and then settle, they pinch one back and we are nervous. surely that is progress. we were well-beaten on Sunday but he is right we had almost same possession, same shots and same on target; again progress of sorts from the last season. His system will get better as players bed in and if that makes us use the possession better and turn those chances created into goals. More performances like RC will build that confidence and players might stop snatching at chances in the big games.
24 Aug 2024 21:07:40
Never saw the match. So get that at last the tactics and formation worked, but what is intriguing me is. What changed in Mantedo?
1.) 24 Aug 2024 22:37:16
Ross cty were pants.
2.) 24 Aug 2024 23:28:36
Storm ??.
3.) 24 Aug 2024 23:44:46
Everything fell into place the day mate that’s what the difference was. Matondo 1st goal seems to hit off him 2nd goal was ok.
4.) 25 Aug 2024 03:00:26
Club hoping for three new signings before the transfer window closes. CB, CM, Winger. All players that haven't been mentioned/ rumoured by the media yet.
CB will definetly come in, talks getting ramped up as soon as Davies move is confirmed (its about 90% done) .
The other two signings depends on outgoings. a lot of interest in Cantwell so it looks like he'll be off, enquiries made for Hagi but nothing concrete yet.
Dowell and Matondo aren't actively up for sale. Clement likes both. Interest in Matondo is genuine, but would take good offer for Rangers to sell.
Scott Wright seen as a good squad player. low wage, and homegrown so selling him isn't a priority. There's interest from Hearts though, but sale is very dependent on what the offer is, and if Wright wants to make the move.
5.) 25 Aug 2024 08:41:26
We played well and made RC look very ordinary. Signs that team are now starting to play as PC want then to. Thought Matondo's first was great movement to front post and a flick finish. Restricted them to a couple of chances as well. Thought Tav did well drifting into middle as well. sort of inverted full back but given no-one now likes him suspect I am the only one.
13 Aug 2024 22:18:04
Think off coming into a place of work as the new boss and finding that it's an absolute nightmare. You are trying to create a vision but you face hurdle after hurdle from staff you didn't hire. You have a new CE who backs you but you have to cut costs and your customers expect instant change and rewards.
As a club we are at 2018 part 2 but in a better place. In 6 years we have won 3 trophies and reached a European final. Time to knuckle down.
22 May 2024 20:28:52
Right. Anybody hearing anything team wise Saturday?
I'm thinking Lundstram will start.
1.) 22 May 2024 21:37:36
Lundstram is banned mate ??.
2.) 22 May 2024 21:45:21
Lundstram shouldn't be starting way too slow to go against their midfield ?If sterling is fit it should be sterling, raskin and cantwell ?We need steel and legs in our midfield engine room to give us the springboard to have any chance of beating them ?.
3.) 22 May 2024 22:01:19
He starts I'm watching fa cup final.
4.) 22 May 2024 22:07:12
Windy I spoke to a friend today he thinks lunny walks back into the team, tbh if sterling is needed defensively we need 3 in the midfield so I'd be tempted.
5.) 22 May 2024 22:25:22
Loyal I thought it was a 2 game ban. ?.
6.) 22 May 2024 22:30:28
Carluke lundstrum is not banned.
7.) 22 May 2024 22:37:43
Based on his last performance, why would he even be considered.
Seriously, he was found wanting against this opposition last time out and nothing has changed. Its going to be a tough match please don’t play this man.
8.) 22 May 2024 23:22:24
Agree folks. I think Cantwell has to start even to man mark mcgregor. I hoping not but a mid three of Raskin, Cantwell and Lundstram is what I see. I think Diomande is a rabbit caught in headlights in old firm games. I’ll be wrong but it’s banter.
9.) 23 May 2024 01:23:35
His 2 game ban has been served. he's available sadly.
10.) 23 May 2024 06:26:36
So windy given he's costing 4.5m but can't play in our biggest match would you be paying that amount for diomande?
11.) 23 May 2024 06:53:32
Wish he was banned - after the selfish attitude and naivety shown by him during last OF - but being at bare bones no doubt he will be under consideration?.
12.) 23 May 2024 08:12:59
He is banned from my memory ? He should not start again in a Rangers jersey.
13.) 23 May 2024 10:24:20
OWS. He was signed for potential not the finished article. In both old firm games he has been lost, just my opinion. The fact he cost 4.5m means nothing, it’s what the going rate is and hopefully next year will see him kick on.
As for Sat I think PC respects Lundstram thus why I think he will play. Raskin I believe would be better next to him.
14.) 23 May 2024 11:06:52
It isn’t right but if lundstrum is fit I think he will start.
15.) 23 May 2024 11:22:06
OWS. Forgot to say I wouldn’t splash that cash but believe we will.
29 Apr 2024 10:19:15
Do I think we will win the league no, do I think we will do a cup double ?. Will we beat them at Parkhead, II can't really can't see it.
Thing is at Christmas we all agreed we needed a new team and nothing has changed except it's nearly May and in theory we can still win the league. So we keep pushing and hoping, that's all we can do, because no matter the formation or staff on the playing surface, we still need a new team. We can blame who ever or point the finger which I have done many a time but we are where are now. Which is 5 games left. Oh I believe Dessers will be here next year but Tav won't. ?.
1.) 29 Apr 2024 11:07:10
Meant I can’t see us beating them at Parkhead.
2.) 29 apr 2024 11:41:30
big issue is the guys who know they are leaving, that's a massive thing imo, that will definitely affect the mentality, energy and commitment when the going gets tough, will lundstrum put a 2m per year contract at risk by stretching every sinue at parkhead and hampden?
he looks like he's going through the motions jus5 now imo.
3.) 29 Apr 2024 12:06:13
I think at xmas, almost everyone agreed we needed a ch and a striker to win the league.
Call us what you will but most on here were correct.
4.) 29 Apr 2024 12:07:37
He needs dropped as he's been dreadful and his attempts at shooting have been worse that a 3 year old. overhyped bang average at best player, no wonder the Sheffield United fans were glad to see the back of him, I'll be glad to see the back of him too!
5.) 29 Apr 2024 13:02:04
Bar72 perhaps your right, maybe the board didn’t want to take the gamble, maybe FFP played is part or just no cash. we definitely needed a forward and got Silva. Still there though in the mix.
“Call us what you will” ?.
24 Sep 2024 23:47:02
Who was it then?
04 Sep 2024 13:18:20
Agree Sunshine. I’ll wait and see.
04 Sep 2024 10:15:28
Macnaught. That’s sounds like a shift then. I totally agree few should leave on a free.
03 Sep 2024 21:29:51
Mate it’s your first post but cmon. However I will sit tight for a sniff of what you declare is gospel from someone in the know. ?.
01 Sep 2024 22:32:06
Fleck.
07 Oct 2024 12:23:25
Storm we are a pre SG team now. I was asked what changes I would have made against Celtic. Barron and Raskin in the middle. Dio will lose us cash as will Cortes and I expect Proper.
15 Sep 2024 11:12:51
Mate players, supporters and managers are football motivated or they were in his day. He had a philosophy that most understood. It’s changed. The steps we are taking are supposedly to make us a more sustainable and in the future a successful club. Through my experience be it a public or private company re-structuring regarding wages and size every so often indicates there is re-occurring problems. We keep highlighting a need for a CEO who is an extra chain of command, that will cost wages. He will though be a buffer for the board. ? when you slim line, others need to take on responsibility. Football doesn’t really have a lot of ways to generate cash but one of the most successful ways has been handed to our rivals 3 years running.
So maybe we need to go back to that philosophy. In the rear with the gear staff always blame operations even when the equipment they are getting is broken or below par. Personally keep the chain of communication to a minimum. that's why I agree with Shankly.
15 Sep 2024 10:43:22
Angus the problem is we’re replacing individuals with cheaper not better and individuals we hope will progress. We have not won the title in 3 years and if this continues it could be longer. Yep history will show it has happened before but 3 trophies since 2018 after our big last rebuild. Most will be concerned.
15 Sep 2024 10:34:43
Sterling is not a midfielder. Raskin and Barron for me.
04 Sep 2024 09:02:51
