I must say now that I've heard Murty, I like how he handles himself. I hope he does well for us all and his own future, seems like a good lad.
Not my choice for full time, but all the best son.
18 Feb 2017 13:04:30
@gdog10 - unless he plays 433 this weekend and then 75% of this site will slate him!
18 Feb 2017 19:33:39
As long as he does it his way, which i'm sure he will.
17 Feb 2017 21:17:35
I would say we are all clutching at straws, as I truly believe that DK does not have plan B either, but his is mainly due to there not being any money in the coffers.
The next injection of money will be from us and I will bet London to an orange that the soft loans will be paid first.
I believe that our directors will be asking DK about our club's viability, as they have responsibilties to the shareholders for their actions.
Not doom and gloom, just facts.
17 Feb 2017 21:33:46
Yawn! Billy, most of our directors are significant shareholders. They are currently running the club WITH DK. They are not in the dark. if they were then their strong reputations would be in tatters. as you have said before, there a a few serious and well connected people on the board, if there was anything untoward or uncertain about plan A, B or C then they are as culpable as DK.
18 Feb 2017 13:53:39
The soft loans will be converted to shareholding that has already been made clear.
The only ones not stating that are obsessed types that would even go as far as to pretend to be Rangers Supporters, of which there are several that prowl this site.
17 Feb 2017 20:41:02
Just seen pardew has now been made bookies 3rd favourite for manager. Thoughts?
17 Feb 2017 22:09:57
Pardew would do me I think he would do a great job up here . Bring it on
17 Feb 2017 22:20:34
Said it before, would take this guy any time! The usual suspects don't do it for me.
18 Feb 2017 07:48:17
Pardew would do a decent job and has he not managed at Reading when Murty was there.
Certainly a better option than some of the names being linked.
18 Feb 2017 09:22:36
Before you even consider Pardew Suggest you Google why he left Southampton. Mate of fat Ashley, as keen to jobhunt as MW and involved with a players wife. "ALLEGEDLY"
18 Feb 2017 09:38:42
Keep it nice and simple and get Tommy wright in. he's a guy who can wrk with ordinary players with a shocking budget and knows what Rangers are all about
18 Feb 2017 13:42:38
Pardew is a relegation battler not a championship challenger
18 Feb 2017 13:54:50
Pardew like MW would scuttle back over the border at the first sniff of a job in EPL.
17 Feb 2017 16:17:14
Warburton claiming he has King bang to rights. Warburton is perusing King for £2.1 million, which is for loss of earnings and half a million which is still owed to him for getting us promoted last season.
17 Feb 2017 18:25:35
14 out of the last 19 players signed by Warburton, their agent was Warburton's Daughter. mmm
17 Feb 2017 20:04:47
Why hasn't King paid him the win bonus for delivering the 1st division title and promotion? Hmm. Why the halogen heaters at the bottom of the marble staircase? Skint
17 Feb 2017 20:15:41
Smith2d, total nonsense, maybe 4, certainly not 14.
17 Feb 2017 20:27:49
Garner, Waghorn and Tav are listed as being represented by Key Sports Mngnt. As well as Zelalem. But when you add that to the number of players he's signed because he's worked with them before it really does beg the question as to how much scouting ability and football knowledge the man has.
17 Feb 2017 20:58:01
Aye Campsie Bhoy because Halogen heaters are the cheapest way to heat a room 😂. Other than burning actual cash I can't think of a dearer way. Numpty.
17 Feb 2017 21:14:11
TheFuturesBright, just telling what I heard my man, suppose we'll find out soon if it's true. Decent source though!
17 Feb 2017 21:08:44
this will be settled out of court there is faults on both sides and an agreement will be reached
17 Feb 2017 21:10:36
Well let's just see if those facts and figures are accurate Gor - I highly doubt it.
So far all we know are 'facts' by way of the statements from the club / D King and Warbs which are contradictory.
I would highly doubt DK would completely fabricate the actions of the agent who allegedly tendered resignation on all 3s behalf
Add this to Warbs alleged attempts to engineer a move to Notts Forrest (neither of which I note he has denied) whilst in gainful employment. I reckon DK will have made sure that's reasonable grounds for accepting the resignations allegedly tendered.
just my opinion but let's wait and see. If either are true I'm behind the board 100%
17 Feb 2017 21:40:07
I think this only highlights what a poor inferstructure we have, he utalised what he could to get players in. I don't think this is anything underhand as it seems to be out in the open however who knows.
17 Feb 2017 22:03:51
Heard lawyer tonight say that as MW has under 2 years continuous employment there is not a thing he can do about this. I also own a company and am aware of this. Does not matter if it's somebody in a low paid job or the manager of the world's most successful club, the rules are the same. Don't shoot the messenger guys
18 Feb 2017 09:52:10
I'm sure what you are referring to is that he was still technically in his probationary period so the club could terminate his contract at any point they wished with only a notice period having need to be paid.
18 Feb 2017 14:04:17
Campsie Bhoy, realise you lot know a lot about fires but your tripping mate. Just worry about keeping Brenda. we will be back where we belong . It's not an if, it's a when!
18 Feb 2017 14:15:13
Correct. Rules are the same for everybody
18 Feb 2017 15:45:06
Will a lot not depend on what is in his contract? I say this because I am assuming that at that level the two year rule would be overruled by the t's and c's in the Employment Contract.
I guess it also depends on what level of authority the Agent has since if this includes the authority to act on behalf of the Client, then he would have had the right to tender their resignations. Problem is that it was perhaps inferred rather than expressed, so the burden of proof would fall on Rangers.
It's all a bit murky but it sounds to me as though Rangers took their time to make a decision which hopefully means that they took legal opinion.
Personally I still believe that it will be settled out of court. No Employer wants to employ someone that makes a point of going to an Industrial Tribunal. They are just trouble!
18 Feb 2017 16:41:15
Geddes I'm 30 will it be in my lifetime? More chance of being another new club than challenging us mate
18 Feb 2017 19:21:50
It's a 2 year probationary period Tomusa, no matter who you are or what job it is. Or so I've been told.
Campsie Bhoy - it's a gey big wheel that doesn't come back round. Desmond is not getting any younger and I hear his family all support a certain English club. They couldn't care less about Celtic. When Dermot shuffles off the mortal coil, what will happen then In any case investment is coming very soon. Things can change very quickly and when you are the world's most successful club investment is certainly a realistic possibility. We will be back in our rightful place soon enough
17 Feb 2017 15:18:15
Forget the DOF role and bring in Souness and Archie Knox! Could maybe get Souness' mate (can't mind his name) to invest as he seemed well interested in the beginning and if not Knox then bring Bomber :) don't know what you guys think, but I love both, especially Bomber and if it's just till end of season then go for it.
Seriously though, I do think we need to take our time picking the right guys, DOF or not. so bringing in a couple of solid guys like Souness and Bomber would put a smile on my face and we would definitely finish 2nd also.
What's your thoughts Bears?
17 Feb 2017 16:14:56
this is what happens when you lose your manager, all the old thoughts of the good times blur your judgement, i can remember quite a lot of the fans were happy to see Souness go, and i don't think we would have won 9 in a row if he had stayed, let's wait and see what's on offer out there, someone with the modern technique would suit me, you have to keep up with the times, well its my view anyway
17 Feb 2017 19:37:09
Any chance we try to look forward, souness, brown, mcleish, smith all yesterday's men. Its time for a young guy and a director of football that's the way forward, let's us develop young players and a scouting system, if the coach is no good move him on.
17 Feb 2017 20:25:09
Wait until end of the season and go all out for leeds utd manager garry monk! Of course this would be probably dependant on leeds getting promoted or not!
17 Feb 2017 22:10:15
Paul Le Guen, nah sorry, tried that one!
Chasaboy
18 Feb 2017 11:24:31
what exactly did Frank McPartland get paid his big wages for? did he actually do anything other than help Rossiter come to the club? as far as i can tell it was in fact Warburton who went all over the place to talk to most of our players before they signed! is it any coincidence MW and DW also left Brentford in very similar circumstances, they and the board blaming each other for everything
17 Feb 2017 15:04:22
We don't need a dof. Strong minded managers won't entertain us if they work under a dof.
17 Feb 2017 16:45:08
DoF is definitely the modern trend so those managers will have nowhere to work soon
17 Feb 2017 14:51:41
just thinking about if we were to install frank de boer in the summer and he does well next sesaon then what if a epl team comes in for him and he wants to try himself there.
would we not be in the same managerial situation we are in just now. (manager uses us a stepping stone) like warburton was supposedly told king and co.
tbh teams like everton, southampton, west ham. etc will can offer a hell of a lot more than anything in scotland
do we need a three/ five year plan on the park or just in the boardroom/ director of football. i think if we sort out these two points it wouldn't matter if the manager stays 1/ 2/ 3 or so years as the footballing idea is then installed and you identify a manager/ coach to step into that way ( like the way southampton do it)
there are a lot of managers names that are no way near what's good enough to take on the problems/ pressure that's involved at the club right now
is frank de boer the answer if he's given the proper funds?
any managers in the usa league that's worth a shout?
17 Feb 2017 15:42:04
If any manger in Scotland is touted for top jobs in EPL, it shows they are doing a great job. You would imagine we would be in a decent position if that was the case. At the end of the day, whether player or manager, if they are that good they won't be in Scotland for long. That is just reality.
17 Feb 2017 16:45:49
Having a DoF means that if De Boer leaves the system doesn't, so we could cope.
17 Feb 2017 17:00:45
Think this is my 1st agreement with you cullin. Rangers and celtic can't compete with the epl money wise, which to me is not right due to the following and they are also massive for TV. About time someone was telling sky that we won't accept your rubbish offer anymore till they up the cash.
17 Feb 2017 18:52:42
Rangers can't compete with celtic money wise never mind epl. Think a lot of yous are being fantasists. De boer is never going to come to rangers let it go 🙈
17 Feb 2017 19:32:05
Spoc youve got deboer leaving already, jesus man, one step at a time, the man can't and won't Leave because he won't be there to do so. As a famous man once said.
"Get Real"

18 Feb 2017 14:15:56
Let's just remember yayo all the talk before you lot got Ronny? He was the next best thing since sliced bread according to u lot until the cup game where u lot were taught a lesson by us, then u get Rodgers and let's not forget what has he actually done in his managerial career? Nothing exactly came to Scotland when Rangers were piss poor trying to win something cause he couldn't cut it in the epl.
18 Feb 2017 16:02:32
Dogzz that's just utter tripe youve just posted. Taught us a lesson did you haha 2-2, the only lesson we learned was how directors shouldn't behave. Our fans were split 50/ 50 with RD from the get go. And Rodgers getting very very close to winning the EPL is hardly not cutting it is it. All your points proven to be rubbish. Try posting something with less of an angry jealous theme please.
17 Feb 2017 12:22:40
If mcleish does get the job let's hope he can get us some centre back like boumsong or kyriakos!
17 Feb 2017 14:30:56
Big soto was a bombscare😱
17 Feb 2017 15:06:14
Big Boumsong eh, only kept him for 6 months then punted to Newcastle for about 6m if I remember. Good player.
17 Feb 2017 15:11:50
Bougherra is coming back
17 Feb 2017 15:14:26
JLS not in his first 6 month mate. Yip big eck got us some solid defenders like big marv, boumsong and big soto as well
17 Feb 2017 19:35:40
JLS how can you say kygriakos was a bomb scare wow the man was a big animal in defence with major strenth and power his defending was a 8/ 10 on most match days and he played a decent game in the champions league too . your just talking nonesense mate haha
18 Feb 2017 09:43:53
Not for me wes1 i thot he was a nightmare. he was world class if your comparing him to the defenders that are ther just now.
17 Feb 2017 10:31:14
Claudio Reyna would be a great DOF for us with Barry Ferguson FTC.
17 Feb 2017 09:15:32
According to DR article in interview with Brenda, Warburton hadn't spoken to King in months. That's worrying. Whatever we think of Brenda the article is interesting as he obviously engages well with the Septic board. King needs to move back to Scotland or sell up and get out.
17 Feb 2017 11:30:53
Brendan Rodgers is Warburstons friend, he isn't going to speak against him now is he! He shouldn't even be commenting on something that is none of his or his clubs business.
He is obviously starting to feel like the godfather in the SPFL due to the succesful period that Celtic are currently enduring, empowering him to comment on all things. He said that he hadn't spoken to Warburton so he doesn't have any more facts than we have via the media.
Why do people put all of this on Dave King. Is is one of a number of shareholders, not the full owner of our club. He is also one of a number of people that are keeping the club going with soft loans. Chairman granted, but there is no need for his daily attendance at Ibrox. We have a structure at the club and aheirarchy like any business. We are in the 21st century where video confrencing is pretty normal these days. I agree that he should attend all board meetings and these should be held monthly.
17 Feb 2017 10:40:16
What does it matter if he hasn't spoken to King? That's what the board and Robertson are their for.
17 Feb 2017 11:38:55
I agree. It tells me that our club is much better suited to a DoF.
17 Feb 2017 14:45:59
Alrus, you weren't reacting like that when Warbles was commenting on everything to do with the scottish game, and the media were sitting drooling like he was the saviour. Besides, we all know that Lawell is the real Godfather in Scottish football 😁
17 Feb 2017 14:52:22
i don't think so a director is a buffer between the board and managment and will just pass on bad news saying you can't sign him he costs money!
we need money before we need a manage as alex ferguson couldn't close this gap with no money
17 Feb 2017 15:20:18
Shouldn't come as a surprise their manager talking about us! Their fans are experts on everything to do with us, as well as employment law and high finance.
17 Feb 2017 15:52:59
Bhampot, commenting on the Scottish game and commenting on an individual matter, one which BR doesn't have all of the details is pretty different to the instance you mentioned above.
Anyway welcome…its all about the Rangers.
17 Feb 2017 16:49:43
Welcome?, you obviously are new to this page aren't you, i can be pretty confident that BR will know much more than you or i will ever know about your shady boards amatuer attempt at getting someone off the payroll. The old Rangers would have done things in a proffesional and fair manner. Not this bunch of cowboys. Just like you, they are new to all this.
17 Feb 2017 19:41:30
Im not going to list the individual matters that MW commented on, so i refered to it as the Scottish game, too many to mention. And i'm sure he wasnt in possesion of every little detail. So how is it different? . Your just posting one sided nonsense, having a pop at BR because he is the succesful manager at Celtic. I do though agree that it is almost definitly all about "The Rangers", long may it continue too.
17 Feb 2017 00:45:23
Rangers to win 3-0 on sunday; mckay, waggy and hyndman the goalscorers! Come on the gers!
17 Feb 2017 10:45:57
I get fed up with supporters thinking we will win easily, we're a shambles and right now, everytime we play, i expect a defeat, that's how poor we really are.
17 Feb 2017 14:57:34
moaning at people trying to be positive! if u want to be negative then that's your prerogative but don't moan at sum1 for thinking positively.
we are in a mess right now but the team isn't as bad as people make our we are sitting up at the top end of the table at the first time of asking.
yes there is a fiasco with managers and directors and such but to moan at people for thinking the team we all support will win against a mediocre team that's sitting well below us is the height of stupidity.
17 Feb 2017 15:19:10
I think a win too, I'll go for 2-0, our standard score.
17 Feb 2017 18:26:57
I hope he drops Halliday after the Morton game and gives one of our other midfield players a run to. We don't need a holding midfield player if we play 4-4-2 I reckon we will win, it won't be easy though!
17 Feb 2017 20:45:57
James stirling, i'm a realist.
