I've always rated our striker nicky clark since we've signed him from queen of the south, he's never really had an extended run in the team, with stuart mccall now at the helm I fully now expect clark to get that run in our starting 11, nicky clark has everything in his game to go on and become a very good rangers striker, he's got very good movement, he's fast and has an eye for goal, you can start to see his confidence growing, what do we think fellow bears and also the ed?

18 Mar 2015 23:12:40
U may very well be right. Clark is young and hungry, and Stuart will play to his strengths,

19 Mar 2015 09:52:09
Tennent I always had him done as a decent striker but nothing special. he is quick and has had good movement off the ball but always fluffed chances with his feet and he's still doing it!
Im coming round to him though if he can start banging in goals with his head and feet I will admit defeat and see him as a potential great.

19 Mar 2015 11:40:43
He is good, no doubt about it, but strikers like him need confidence and good players around them, currently he has neither

18 Mar 2015 18:42:13
Being a long term Rangers fan I can only support the team not constantly whine when a new manager is trying to reshape a squad destroyed of footballing ability and confidence by mccoist and mcdowall.

The old guard need to go but McCall cannot commit managerial suicide by changing to 11 young players. He has to get them training again and fit again, then pick the best of the experienced players to work with the quality youth.
2 years ago McCall could have built from youth in the 4th division sadly we inherited the worst manager in history of ANY team far less Rangers.
McCall I believe has the ability to forge a group of 15 players playing with confidence and ability to at least reach the playoffs.

Teams may be doing well against us now and gloating about it but the ONLY games that count and are worth winning are the playoffs. I will happily accept another few draws if it allows McCall time to build a game plan and weed out the worst and the best of our squad.

If come the playoffs we fail dismally and do not qualify THAT is the time for debate and possibly for critisism, not after 180 mins of football and 10 days in charge with likely 6 training sessions.

I 100% believe Stuart McCall will end our poor style of play will bring in triple training sessions and I 100% believe will have us at the best we can be with the squad McCoist lumbered us with. So Stuart stick to your guns and show the doubters and impatient part time supporters that we will win and we will fight to he death to get promoted
I believe we will win the playoffs and will start playing well in 3 or 4 games from now - the McCall way passing and with 100% effort.

18 Mar 2015 20:06:57
Well said. I am convinced that he will turn things around. Whether that meaning promotion or just playing as a team and getting results anything is better than what we have seen the last few months. I said in a earlier post that the way we was moving the ball last night and the attacking style most of the night was a massive improvement. That is down to McCall. Let's start playing football again and get teams worried about playing us that's what I want to see.

18 Mar 2015 22:34:02
James its the defence that's the problem mate eh.

18 Mar 2015 22:56:32
Great post KT. Some of McCall's critics are of course wee Ally men and secretly hope for his return. Why - well you may ask- some sort of hopefully temporary mental illness?
McCall has to make the best of the worst situation probably any Ranger's manager has ever faced thanks to the previous management team and incompetent boards. We are so far down it might take Merlin the magician but wee Stuart will give it a real go and good luck to him

18 Mar 2015 16:12:32
i cannot beleive some of the posts we have a new manager (who is working with one hand tied behind his back ) we have a first team squad some lacking in ability all lacking in confidence and all not properly fit we have our new board who have made changes but they must be given time and they must all be given help and support we can't bring players in or move them out till the end of the season the manager has only been in the job for anumber of days and yet we have posts complaining about the manager and all things rangers if attendances drop and revenue drops it will be the end of the club chances to return to the big time we will lapse into stagnation and crumble as years go by.

18 Mar 2015 16:56:29
On this occasion I didn't agree more, Stuart needs support, and the new board will remember the screams of support outside Ibrox only a couple of weeks ago

18 Mar 2015 18:01:43
The difference McCall as made is clear to see for me. The players will get their confidence back, he will find the team that works then hopefully get back on track. The players got jeered last night for passing the ball backwards, I wonder if that was the same fans who booed when the ball got hoofed from defence? I am convinced results will start coming

18 Mar 2015 18:07:22
Amen to that.seen enough last night to show that he will make us better. 18 chances, nearly half on target. really feel Clark will kick on now. mind you, I remember his faither, Sandy "Zico " Clark. who aspired to mediocrity . but he then went on to rag us when he was with Hearts. karma. if we can just get an early goal on Sunday, convert a chance. Rangers have never been a pressing team, and very rarely did we rag teams from the first minute, 6-1, 5-1 games against Dunfermline and Killie in title winning seasons the exception, even when Smith was manager, teams like Aberdeen and Dun Utd would swarm all over us for half an hour or so before we got a grip. be good to see us play that way. personnel not ideal, but fitness costs nothing.

18 Mar 2015 18:07:47
Spot on Bigwull, I sometimes wonder what people really want, I personally am just glad to have a club to support, one day Rangers will be back of that there's no doubt, and we as fans have got to be behind them in every step win, lose or draw it's our club.Stuart McCall Is no mug and I firmly believe that given time he will give us a team to be proud of, but it's not going to happen until next season, or even the season after, so let's be patient and thankful that we still have a Rangers.

18 Mar 2015 18:44:28
Sandy didn't play in a great here team nor was he blessed with raw talent, but he was a brave as a lion in the box, a poor mans hately maybe?

18 Mar 2015 20:24:45
I actually liked Sandy Clark, he happened to be in a poor Gers side, but as Tommy said he was brave, hard and gave his all.Could be doing with guys like him now.

18 Mar 2015 21:39:47
Would never question his heart or effort. show up a couple of our current strikers.

19 Mar 2015 09:44:16
He played in a poor rangers side and was also a poor player

18 Mar 2015 15:08:34
They say one man doesn't make a team but is it a coincidence that the last time we won was start of January just before young Lewis Macleod left.
r.f

18 Mar 2015 15:35:18
You still going on about him. He really wasn't that good.

{Ed039's Note - You really are so full of crap at times)

18 Mar 2015 15:38:35
also last time we one was when ian black was last in the team so take mccloed and ian black out and we fall to pieces pathectic

18 Mar 2015 15:45:29
That's my opinion though. He was playing at lower level so how can you justify that. I just think it's daft that you all pinned your hopes on a kid.

{Ed039's Note - And he was head and shoulders above everybody he played against and with, stepped into Scotland U21s and was the best player there as well. Remember these are the leagues where Celtic (and Rangers used to) send their young players on loan to get game experience before moving them on. Players like Charlie Adam learned their trade in these divisions before moving the Prem League and playing international football. Never going to be world beaters but at a young age players have developed in these leagues)

18 Mar 2015 15:55:06
My point being with Lewis being young you would think more experienced player would be able to cope better . who was the crap comment aimed at?

{Ed039's Note - The post it was pinned to)

18 Mar 2015 16:43:26
That would be little old me it was aimed at. I'm not saying he is a bad player. Haven't even seen him. But for you all to pin your hopes and dreams on one boy and say he was world millions was just nonsense.

{Ed039's Note - Whats nonsense is making a judgement on a player you claim never to have seen. Would the folk who have been watching him for 2 and a half years not be in more of s position to make that judgement than you? I have heard good and bad stories about James Forrest and Craig Gordon, but do you know what, I wouldnt pass judgement because I havent seen them)

18 Mar 2015 16:58:45
You are so right ed, though I suspect its more than crap!

18 Mar 2015 17:08:26
In pretty sure we won a few weeks back when Murdoch scored a cracker

Macleod - played well against spl teams for rangers this season and even got a call up to the full scotland squad

Rr: Yes to a large extent MacLeod made the team and was a huge influence for such a young lad. Pity Wallace didn't leave instead of him, think he would have flourished with McCall here.

18 Mar 2015 17:09:12
Because I remember mcgregor was playing well at same time as that boy. Yous valued McLeod at 3 million. Mcgregor was playing at higher level and I certainly wouldn't value him at that. Crazy what you all thought bout him. You all put a big weight on that young boys shoulders. That's what I remember.

{Ed039's Note - I wouldnt listen to your value of the boy McGregor anyway, not after valuing a player you have never seen. There was alot of weight on that boys shoulders, and here is why Marty ........ he is a very good young player. I hope that explains it to you)

18 Mar 2015 17:19:51
How's he getting on anyway.

{Ed039's Note - He is injured. Let me guess that knocks more off the value of the player you have never seen)

18 Mar 2015 18:18:44
Robert Fleck anyone?? Pmsl was the new superstar. Where's he now Antone??

18 Mar 2015 18:23:36
No not at all just hadn't heard much about the next big thing.

18 Mar 2015 18:58:13
Fair play to you ed, you have plenty patience with people deliberately trying to antagonize.

19 Mar 2015 09:47:05
Robert fleck played football 30 years ago I don't know why you bring him up? Do you mean John fleck who plays for Coventry? If your going to criticize a professional footballer at least make sure it's the right one.

18 Mar 2015 12:11:50
The first 2 results haven't been good enough that is obvious. But reading people getting on at Mccall is a joke. Draws are never good enough for rangers but the quality in play as improved vastly in the last 2 games. For a start McCall as stopped the endless hoofing up the pitch from defence. It was the first time in months we was using our midfield instead by passing them and losing possession. We kept the ball even if that meant playing it back. We looked more comfortable on the ball and the players looked like they knew there jobs. Secondly, the first 5 minutes of the second half we looked woeful again and lost a goal. But instead of losing our heads they stuck in dominated and equalised and took the lead. Ok not for long enough but a week ago we would of lost that game. We looked like a organised football team for the majority of the game last night. Ok we need to do that every game for 90 minutes but it is a start. McCalls influence is obvious for me at the minute. The major concern now is conceding 2 goals from 2 shots from a team struggling at the bottom. We need to defend as a team, press all over the pitch. Time and time again we have seen teams break too easy, the back four being exposed, then opposition scoring a easy goal.

18 Mar 2015 13:04:24
Yeah a sort of agree there with you, but I'm blaming McCall for the past 2 dire results, because he's been watching us week in week out, he's been on BT sport pointing out that where he thinks we're weak, and where he sees why and how we're leaking goals, so he gets the managers job, he gets 2 home games, against bottom half of the league, and bottom of the league, and twice, in them 2 games, the defence has let us down BIG time, now I know, the manager can only do so much, then the team has to do the rest on the park, but let's not get away from the FACTS here, mcCulloch is our weak link at the back, he looks so unfit it's unreal, he's far too slow, he's that slow he's scared to go over the half way line, because he'll get caught out with pace, and McCall sees all this, and has saw all this, and STILL, he's first pick in that team! He was at fault for the first goal last night, he got out jumped for a header, he noticed the boy was too fast for him to catch, so he follows the red about moaning that it should've been a freekick, Wallace has to run foul the boy because he was getting away, then they score from the freekick, poor poor poor goal to loose, get mcCulloch out that team as soon as possible, and you'll notice a BIG difference! McCall knows this, so why the hell hasn't he changed it??

18 Mar 2015 13:28:06
Getting tedious but I agree totally, ref my earlier posts. dropping Jig would galvanise the team, we could press more and play a higher line. sure McCall sees it, unsure why he has not dropped him. I absolutely believe we'll make the play offs, and McCall has to have a plan for what will be effectively cup ties at that time. play the young boys already blooded by all means, but don't get rid of all the experience. keep Law, Wallace, McGregor, Shiels in there. they've got it in them SOMEWHERE. losing Cap'n Carthorse might just bring it out . heard a lot about how good a player Jig was(debatable), and how he never walked away(72k a month lot to walk away from). so if here is some sort of play if fit clause, show you are a REAL Rangers man Jig, and walk away from it.

18 Mar 2015 13:59:45
You are all saying it'll do us good to stay in that division for another season. You won't have a choice. It's a tough league to get out of and I wouldn't be surprised of its a few seasons before you get anywhere near getting out it

18 Mar 2015 14:27:07
Jig is a problem.I agree with that. He is never a centre half, he isn't defensively aware. But the problem is do you drop him let Moshni back in? I am all for giving youth a chance but maybe they can't see the young CBs being ready for it. The young RB sinnamon was on the bench yesterday so maybe put him in with Mcgregor back at his proper position. A concern for me is the lack of muscle and leadership in midfield when we haven't got the ball. That second goal should of been seen and dealt with. But looking through our team at the minute I can't see anybody who fits that role. Hutton doesn't look like the player I thought he would be, and take murdochs goal out of it what's he done? Games seem to pass him by. I am all for giving youth a chance but if the players aren't there you have to deal with what you have got. The team need to start playing for each other and they are showing glimmers of that, but the is still a lot of work to do.

18 Mar 2015 15:03:47
Yet again mcculloch gets the blame for these results, are yous blind? We can't hit a barn door from 3 yards, our midfield don't defend nor attack yet it's mcculloch who's to blame.

It's easy to make one player the scapegoat

18 Mar 2015 15:59:26
We scored 2 goals mate. so we can hit the barn door occasionally, just that we've got Jig leaving it open at the other end. scapegoat.? no, finished, detrimental to the team, yes. not the only one, but take him out and I think whole team would get a lift. we wouldn't have to defend on our 6 yard box for a start to make up for his lack of legs. Look, I never liked Jig as a player at any time, cumbersome, inclined to give away stupid fouls when we were attacking, balanced by the odd goal, and he did have a decent link up with Papac down that left side that made us hard to breakdown. but that was then, and he, and Boyd, are finished. time to move on.

18 Mar 2015 17:21:27
He did have a great part piece, getting a sore leg and rubbing the back of his head?? Even when he he'd commited the foul! Quality I think younger people say, finished long ago, can't have this contractual thing, if he knew he was holding the team back he would step down

18 Mar 2015 10:57:38
I thought the obsession with Rangers inflicting ra selik supporters (faithful through n through) would be waning by now but it seems as strong as ever, could it even be growing still? Why one of the self proclaimed best supporters in ra world posts more on here than the Rangers fans baffles me. Maybe its because ra selik only interest me when we play against them, but hey each to their own and if they find my Club more interesting than their own maratime bhoys from the land locked east end of Glasgow maybe its time to switch coats n and colours.

18 Mar 2015 11:26:56
Hey RM gers, luckily it is just a select few who are obsessed. A few of my friends are celtic fans and they were laughing at their so called fellow supporters posting drivel on the Rangers banter site. I think those with the 'obsession ' also have the fear. The fear that perhaps, once time is given, the Gers will be back and properly challenging .
Of course some smarty pant r£nt find it fathomless that things require time to change. Rome wasn't built in a day.

18 Mar 2015 11:35:33
Rangers will not be back. Time to start taking it all in.

18 Mar 2015 11:41:03
The trouble with that sentiment Nipponbear is that King sold us a story of imminent catastrophe if the board were not removed. The catastrophe is still with us, and the board seem to be very slow at taking the steps required to steer us clear of the immediate danger of liquidation. (i.e. cash injection to pay the bills)

Sure a long term strategy is nice, and nobody expects that sort of thing within the first couple of weeks, but there are things which need to be done now to save the club from another insolvency event. unless.

. the plan all along was for insolvency.

If we're not going to make the play-offs anyway, we could take a points hit by liquidating. But we still need to have enough points so that deducting 25 points doesn't push us into the relegation zone.

So I think the board are waiting, waiting to see how many points we can get out of the next few games, enough so that a deduction because of insolvency doesn't put us down a league. What they are not going to do is put their money into a club which is bleeding cash to offshore investors, and ex-managers all over the place.

Grim, but better to face reality.

18 Mar 2015 11:46:55
Relax Marten . Keep calm and pour yourself a hot chocolate. Fear and worry are making you post this nonsense.

18 Mar 2015 12:00:03
Martyboy I take it you like a punt, offering non runners as tips, so here a bet I will offer you in responce to your last post, I bet you that we will be back before you leave school, in fact I will bet you your first weeks wages, that's if you find a job in these hard times.cmon you know you want too.

18 Mar 2015 12:02:27
I think you are right Nipponbear and I think you are right on cue Martybhoy.

18 Mar 2015 12:10:08
I'm nice and relaxed. You were all bumping your gums last few we will do this and do that. I'm your reality check that's all. Prediction for tonight anyone. 1 nil celtic I think. I said you would sneak a draw last night. I'm on a roll. Stokes first goal. There you go. Make yourself a few quid. Put it into your club if you want.

18 Mar 2015 12:16:24
And how will the fans react then? I assume rock bottom attendances and similar actions as we have had in the last few months. Where will that leave the new board?
The steps required will take time, it's been barely three weeks, the onions in my fridge are older. I bet had we won the last two games no one would have this tainted vision of what the current board has planned. Before any money is invested they have to go through the books with a fine comb- I repeat it takes time.

18 Mar 2015 12:24:02
Also,
In your scenario where they take the point hit, we will be starting the next season with whatever players are still contracted plus a transfer ban. Not likely to succeed then, couple that with an empty Ibrox discount sponsorship etc seems a little foolhardy and not much to profit from.

18 Mar 2015 12:24:04
Why oh why would King and TPL spend £5 million on shares then liquidate the company, we know you are a hater of all things King expat but Mr Park who is worth I'd say hundreds of millions, Mr Taylor, head of trading at HSBC, Mr Letham, self made millionaire and Mr King who has earned enough to pay £44 million in a tax sellement did not gain their respective fortunes to pay £5 millionfor a 35% stake in an undervalued company to liquidate it. If they wanted liquidation they would not have bought shares and left the old BoD to do it, because under their watch tthat's exactly where we were heading and coming out the other side with no assets ie Ibrox, Murray Park, Edminson House, Albion Car Park, Rangers Retail, Club Crest ect would ALL belong to Mike Ashley. If ANY Rangers fan wanted that its time for a mental health check up. Fans of other Clubs would love it though.

18 Mar 2015 12:36:59
At least someone is talking sense on here. The only way to rid yourself of anything is administration. Again. And I have left school thank you very much. But I'm glad to see you like to give school boys your time.

18 Mar 2015 12:43:40
Good to know, coming from a financial expert.

18 Mar 2015 12:55:01
I see this season as a write of unfortunatlely, though I do look forward to the future when we get back to SPL and playing competativly against Aberdeen, Pacific Shelf 595 and DU . I would not resign any more ex players that have been mentioned and would let the likes of Miller and Boyd go . The expectation from these two guys was enormous but they never delivered. As I have said still looking forward to the future. Season ticket being renewed again.

18 Mar 2015 13:10:11
I'm no expert. Common sense here. Yes you changed directors. You have not changed the fact you are a loss making company. You needed loans to sort you out for a few months at least. Unless I'm mistaken there has been no cash injection so therefore nothing has changed. Mr Ashley still making a pretty penny as are others. The boards hands are tied I'm afraid. You are still losing money at an alarming rate. Any money put in will just disappear so therefore only way out is to break all these contracts hence administration.

18 Mar 2015 13:16:48
Well we'll see Nipon, I only offered it as a suggestion.

As for investing in a company they then liquidate, it makes business sense - if they can be preferred purchasers of the assets afterwards (like Green was). Then they would have complete control, away from Ashley's stranglehold. and probably other hangovers such as McCoist's gardening fee.

Although we were promised transparency, King & co have offered us guy little of it over the last week or so, so speculation is all we have.

18 Mar 2015 13:23:20
When Rangers start taking advice and going into administration on the advice of or to make Selik fans happy, I'm a Professor of Economics (money matters Marty), its obvious you would love to see us in admin or liquidation again so that Aberdeen and Dundee Utd are your main rivals and "competition" you are all getting excited about winning a "treble", well Martybhoy this should be your third treble in a row and if you win it this year its still a fail because you should have won every domestic competition you entered without your only " real" competition. Our trebles were won including yourselves and you know that means a whole lot more.

18 Mar 2015 13:32:45
You are as much a financial expert than I am. I'm a facts person. You are a loss making company fact. You have no credit line to a bank. Fact. You have no investment. Fact. You don't own much of your club anymore. Fact. Mr king has disappeared now he's seen the book. Fact. Do you want me to go on.

18 Mar 2015 13:33:45
As much understanding as a bamboo stick. There are other means to raise capital Marty boy. Patience required. Who's demanding payment?, are players going with out wages?
Over thinking is dangerous for Marty!

18 Mar 2015 13:53:03
Which board give day to day press conferences? Go into administration and the assets go to the one who has securities over them- Ashley.
In the scenario of admin then sold to preferred bidder will be working with dribble of fans, depleted squad, transfer bans, no training facilities etcetc
All this worry over the new board scheming seems a little paranoid, possibly born from our last two results.

18 Mar 2015 14:16:31
"Go into administration and the assets go to the one who has securities over them- Ashley. "

No they don't. What happens is that the assets get sold by the administrators, and the money raised form those particular assets goes to Ashley. This is what a first charge means.

Since nobody else is going to buy the assets except King (why would Ashley buy them off himself?) he gets them at a preferential price (much like the way Green did at 5.5m). Ashley only gets some of his money back. As a play to avoid paying Ashley all of the 10m, it actually makes sense - but only if we aren't going up anyway.

This is why I think the board is waiting.

18 Mar 2015 14:44:11
Why would no one else buy the properties?

18 Mar 2015 14:59:31
Well, in answer I would return the question. who else would buy them, except people interested in running a football club. They are of very little use to any other investor.

I suppose someone might buy the stadium andMP with a view to renting them back to us as a long term investment, but that would only happen if there was a sustainable "us" to rent it back to after an admin event where we'd lost the assets. A risky proposition, I'd say.

There would really only be King and the 3B with the money and the desire to buy up the assets, and they'd get a preferential market price from any administrator they appointed.

Green paid 5.5m, I'd guess the assets were worth much the same now. Bang, saving of 4.5m straight away, and a clearance of HMRC debts, other outstanding debts and contractual obligations, onerous contracts, and two fingers to Ashley (who'd only get half his money back) in one swoop.
Obviously they'd lose their investment in the shares they bought, but they are perhaps thinking longer term.

If the 25 point deduction (+ 5 for not paying social taxes perhaps, but all negotiable) doesn't put us into relegation. And if we're not going to make the play-offs (since getting promotion, however unlikely it seems now changes the game plan a lot) then now would be the ideal time to make such a move.

It would be a tough sell, for the new board, I grant you.

Nippon,
King Park Gilligan and Murray are NOT taking Rangers to Admin 2 they actually stopped Admin 2 and currently EVERYTHING to do with Green and Ashley is under forensic investigation which for the intelligent amongst us (not pat) means weeks of scrutiny of all the contracts and loan terms.

Pat is a silly little man that is bitter and hasn't a clue about the realities of what is actually happening at Rangers

Ignore him as all Rangers real fans do

He is a celtic supporter incase you did not work that out

18 Mar 2015 18:34:34
KT I have said the same long ago, using the word WE, pathetic, never read a positive word about Rangers from him, he must think he, s being very clever, actually how sad is that?

18 Mar 2015 19:14:52
Matyybhoy your a facts persoon your also telling lies you tipped us to lose 2v3 yesterday fact

19 Mar 2015 08:54:07
Tommy and KT, completely unable to actually argue with facts, resort to name-calling. Again. Pathetic.

In my experience, the first people to accuse others of being Timmy are to be watched very carefully.

19 Mar 2015 09:52:44
How can they be preferred purchasers expat when Ashley holds security over every asset bar Ibrox expat?

20 Mar 2015 09:12:09
Holding security over an asset in a loan only means you get paid first if the assets are liquidated, it doesn't mean you get the assets if the company goes bust.

18 Mar 2015 09:04:05
Why didn't Kenny mcdowell mention that he had to pick big jig and Lee wallace whenever they were fit he was quick enough to bring it up when the boys from Newcastle were signed

18 Mar 2015 09:27:33
Wallace should have left when he had the chance and mcculloch has never been a footballer. All elbows and no action. Terrible captain. Who do would you get as captain though.

18 Mar 2015 11:36:00
McCulloch was descent ten years ago played football in the premiership for you to say never a footballer is laughable.

18 Mar 2015 12:33:19
Oh dear it had to happen I suppose- a post from Martybear that I agree with.
McCulloch was never worth the millions that Walter Smith spent on him. He is a very lucky man to be earning the thousands of pounds per week he earns which we cannot afford and is part of the cronyism at Ibrox with his pal Ally that seemed to put themselves before the club. He also in addition to being too old and a further weakness in defense -cannot motivate his team mates which surely is the minimum you would want/expect of a Rangers captain. Finally on "Jig" his decision to stay with Rangers as a 33/34 year old man on thousands of pounds a week will be seen by his supporters as loyalty and as a no brainer to keep the high salary by others.
Wallace looked marvelous in the two worst divisions in Scotland but has found this year more of a struggle and the former amateur Andy Robertson is now miles ahead of him.

Looking back over the last 2-3 years, until some small signs of hope with the youngsters finally getting a chance in the team in the last few weeks, the only player who was beginning to slightly excite and fill you with some optimism was Lewis McLeod other than that watching Rangers has been a non stop visit to the dentist.

Fact that every single player has gone backwards under 3 managers.

Morning lads. Hope your all well. My take on all of this is your club clearly can't afford to pay the win bonuses. A draw is a happy medium if you like. Got to be something like that. Surely you can't be that bad.

They are that bad but at least they can build next season in the championship. Get rid of nearly all the out of contract duds and bring in young hungry players. Play at least 6 young players till the end of the season and see what they can do they can't be any worse than some of the imposters on show

I was listening to the radio phone in the other night and we now have Celtic fans queuing up to tell us what is wrong with our stadium? Why? we already know this and it does raise some serious question about the structure within the clubs management!

We already employ a facilities manager on a salary of £33K per year, this would seem to be excessive in light of the new revelations by the Celtic fans saying the roof is falling off etc, etc.

It would appear our own are failing in there duty of care to the club and supporters, maybe the new board should be asking some questions on who is supposed to keep the stadium safe and up to reasonable standard, I would hope this could be done otherwise get somebody who can do the job correctly, this would then prevent the other mob from again telling us what is wrong with our club again!

It don't matter how well you do your job if every time you ask your boss for a budget to do the repairs he answers no money/ other priorities.

£33k a year for facilities Manager isn't exactly a massive Wage.

That was the first thing Mr king mentioned when he walked out the door after winning the vote, the state of the stadium

Have I missed something here that's a few people on here shouting for aird to be given a chance. He was a regular for most of the season and was absolutely rotten can't take a man on and the few occasions he managed to beat his man his final ball is shocking. He's had his chance and he's certainly not the answer to our problems.

He is another awful player and shouldn't be anywhere near the team. Another waster who needs to go
