The Kevin Kyle interview was more than interesting and revealing.

" Players in it only for the money. " We needed Paul Murray and ended up with anything but. I've been dead against the boycott but have to admit I get it. We can't sell the soul of the club. If it takes 10 years to get it back, so be it. Sadly.

I don't see KK's statement as a shock. Ally's appointment as manager was made for one reason and one reason only---- to get the fans onside. Nothing to do with building a team or tactical ability. Sign players and get a team on the park and ''they will come''. Win a few games, at any cost, and they[us] will follow in their thousands. ''We don't do walking away'' spouts the manager and Green merrily fills his pockets. Green done deals to suit his own end, so please explain to me why some fans feel ally is justified in making the most of the ludicrous contract he was given. On the other hand, Ashley provides a service for a deal that suited the club[Green] and as part of that deal the naming rights for Ibrox was included. Ashley is slated, albeit he did not utilise what was part of a contract and amcc is justified in going for everything he signed up for. Double standards I would say.

Do you actually believe that big lump a wid?So he reckons he was payed 100 grand for the handful of games he "played" in?Not only that, these riches he earned made him so disillusioned by the game he chucked it LOL.I suggest he was on a pay as you play deal of a grand a game,at most.Sour grapes comes to mind,that and the fact he needs money from the interview for Xmas.

This story crops up every few years, the players are only there for the money, more media spin, kick us when we are down why don't you, we will be back should be our wee saying, we will be back.

Mccoist staying for the 12 months, no promotion this year.

Or is it just so the shareholders can be fobbed off with another 120 day review as he's not been in the post long enough to give the answers we all want? Coincidence??

just a thought for us unhappy rangers fans.

Im losing my patience hearing the word boycott everytime we hear something we don't like or see happening at the club and the only ones suffering are the team as is seen by the current level of performance and position in the league

I just think its time that we got behind the team as unless we do we face no promotion and further pain.
Look at newcastle the fans don't enjoy the regime that's in charge but they overlook that and stay loyal to the team on the park that's an example I beleive we should follow

Ive been a cautious supporter of ashley and his involvement in rangers and still beleive that his involvement in the long term will benefit us

All I ask is put the team on the park, first for once and give them our full backing for the new year but not from the sofa but from being at the game shouting and cheering them back to form and contention to get us promoted

Put ally and the board to the side and focus on what matters THE TEAM!!!

GP

{Ed001's Note - the Newcastle fans have organised boycotts too you know. Also numerous protests. It is only that the team suddenly hits form as they get momentum that they die out.}

GP, I agree with your thoughts on Ashley, cautious optimism about his involvement. Unfortunately, I refuse to watch the standard of football being played while mcc. is in charge. In fact, I would rather go shopping with the mrs. , and I rate that on a par with a visit to the dentist.

i think we have been putting the board and mccoist on the back foot far to long we have well and truly supported our team in previous years and been giving nothing in return what is there to be happy about at our club so action against the board and mccoist needs to happen and I see the report of hatley supposedly trying to talk to the players behind mccoist back now we no why he sitting next to easdales

How can anyone make a case to watch that standard of football? The football is appalling. I understand about getting behind the team but why should we bother when it's the same one paced rubbish week in week out. Why watch the same players play badly knowing that no matter how bad they play they will be starting next game.

mike ashley is making the positive moves that the fans were shouting out for ,first of all remove graham wallace and the other guy I can't remember ,now the move to replace ally mc coist which to me a majority of fans wanted , M.A . has a game plan and that involves putting money into the club ,so please no more boycotts or we might cry wolf once to often and end up with NO club at all doug t.s.o

Bigdimps ime not being cheeky here, but how do you know what mike Ashley has planned for our club, as there's been nought in the media, no word from nobody, have we to guess and hope we guess right about Ashley's plans, if he has plans.

hi george M.A. is an ambitious guy with a track record for success and keeping his mouth shut , as my old ma would say never let the left foot know what the right foot is doing ,id my own hgv road haulage business for 39 years till I retired last year ,i had people wanting to buy into it as a partnership ,but success is better off in your own head rather than shared ,so there is no reason to share any his plans with the media or anyone for that matter ,its obvious to me he sees rangers as big potential to make him a lot of money ,but at the same time M.A will need to speculate to accumulate to which will be to rangers benefit doug t.s.o

Bigdimps. Yes I agree with all you say at n6 mate, especially about letting us know the script, he must be smart enough to know that if wants the fans to back him he will need to let us in on his plans, he has me wondering why he won't declare his intentions, maybe he will be happy enough with his retail deal, without more involvment, I hope this is not the case, thus I think he should let the people, the people that will either scupper his plans, or back him to the hilt, he is a clever man but isn't acting like one imo

Good on you big d, I'm with you and as we were both taught about your business dealings. --- '' Do the deal and live off it'', but most importantly, ''silence is golden. ''

hi george and billy b I think M.A. will surprise us but at his own pace hoping to build up a trust between himself and the fans , he has the best opportunity to expand big time with gers if he invests money for decent players and a good manager to overtake celtic and spread his gospel in europe ,i also don't think he will let the spfl and sfa get in his way either ,as far as i'm concerned no rangers in scotland and scottish football is finished ,its balancing on the brink of a cliff right now doug t.s.o

Billyb silence is golden when you are dealing with hundreds of people, not when you are dealing with hundreds of thousands, and with the media shooting us down at every farts end I think they should be put in there place, and give us something to look forward to, leaving us guessing is wrong imo
