Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


24 Oct 2017 20:15:36
Pedro is staying. However like most mangers that depends if he changes quickly and doesn't stand by players who are not performing. Pena and windlass need dropped and we need to go 442. bruisers required. Maybe Pepe will join.



24 Oct 2017 20:36:02
who’s going to replace them windy?



24 Oct 2017 20:57:42
Surely we must have better players in the academy than windass and Pena. We shouldn't need to sack Pedro he shoukd walk away. This spell is killing us all and we need a true blue in their. I would like to see Mcinnes with Ian Ferguson. Durrant or bomber as number 2. I could live with knowing i am watching a team of triers



24 Oct 2017 21:11:12
Windass is playing out of position which doesn’t help and his finishing is poor he does need dropped Pena is hit or miss but does need to play to get up to speed with our game I think we should judge Pedro at the end of season



24 Oct 2017 21:24:08
Durrant or brown 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Give some young players a go. Ricksen first season pants, Sebo pants, Van mossed pants, Kontterman pants, Amo slated constantly, Seb Rosantal pants. Where that crap that at the moment where above Hearts hibs and St Johnstone having played less. Bring some more in at the winter. 👍 Drew at Berwick with Flo in the team.



24 Oct 2017 21:27:09
I'll tell who should replace pena and windass in the rangers starting 11,trev no 7!I've said many times on here that pedro is playing graham dorrans out of position! Doza is an attacking midfielder, not a defensive one! So that's the 1st change pena out and play dorrans in his more advanced, natural no.10 position! Secondly, no backbone windass out and give the young man city winger nemane his place in his natural position! There's your answer trev no.7!Easy mate, very easy!



24 Oct 2017 21:34:27
TommyRangers, forget these usual mediocre suspects, ie. derek mcinnes, tommy wright etc! We would need a manager that could go head to head with brendan rodgers! I honestly don't think mcinnes would lay a glove on rodgers, if he was rangers manager! We have to think bigger! Big sam allardyce would be the perfect choice as rangers manager, if pedro was leaving! Big sam is a planet ahead of mcinnes and wright as manager's go mate! We can't take risks with our next manager, simple as that!



24 Oct 2017 23:45:54
Supercooper

Totally with you with Big Sam. He would be an amazing coup for us. No nonsense Manager who wouldn’t put up with the timid performances against Celtic



25 Oct 2017 00:43:37
like it super coop - dorrans replacing pena as attacking mid that wld do me - agree that's the lads natural
position and he’s got a lot more to offer than picking it up off back 4 deep in our half

he can clearly finnish ( equaliser at partick slotted it top corner / 3rd goal vs st johnstone) so move him out wide or further fwd

id get holt back in midfield for his energy personally i’d get miller in for pena to support morelos (no coincidence his goals have dried up since millers been dropped)

and i'd drop windass for holt &’push dorrans further fwd

but pedro won’t!



25 Oct 2017 02:30:10
Could big Sam handle the mentality of such a big club? Yes his record in England is decent and he appears to be a good man manager but I can't remember him ever really being at a big club



25 Oct 2017 07:04:20
Ger88,big sam was at newcastle utd and they are most certainly a big football club!



25 Oct 2017 08:02:27
If we were to change manager now I think we need a Jim mclean type, someone that would strike fear into them, make them hard to beat and fitter



25 Oct 2017 08:13:48
I wouldn't mind seeing Miles at LB and John LW, I think John is dying to get into the box more



25 Oct 2017 10:43:53
Big Sam? get a grip guys, we have enough dodgy guys in our club already



25 Oct 2017 10:53:57
could live with a fighting team, really? we couldn't live with any team unless we r sitting top of league and that's a fact. you lot would booo them off the park if they had more than 2 draws in the league and score at least 3 in every game.



25 Oct 2017 13:51:47
I’m confident that McLean will come in Jan this will allow Dorrans to push further up the park but can you see Pedro dropping Pena? Walker is also a must for jan and then Pedro has no excuses as the first XI would be strong



24 Oct 2017 19:31:52
HI RickW. Sorry, when I say haters I never ever refer to Rangers supporters but the on looking media, poisonous clubs&supporters and officials that would love to see us fail at every turn. We are a club built on integrity, decorum, and respect. You don't need me to say you are entitled to your opinion. In my opinion we erode our clubs roots if we start to turn on the team, manager and each other they way some are. If we ever loose our identity in such a way then what makes us different from any other club. Remember who we are and let's not lower ourselves to the gutter level of the haters. If Pedro does go I hope its on the back of loads of really bad results with the board making the decision and not because the fans are booing and loosing the plot. I supported Warbuton and support Pedro 100% and will support the next managers even if its Peter Grant n Tom English. too far, I know.
PS, Look at our next 6 fixtures. All should be winnable. These games will make or break Pedro. 15/ 16 points minimum to keep the Wolves from the door.



24 Oct 2017 19:57:17
A club built on integrity decorum and respect!?!?! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂



24 Oct 2017 21:52:27
Good one lol. Integrity decorum and respect where do u want me to start.



24 Oct 2017 18:34:34
Let's get behind the team tomorrow night and cut the gap between us and 2nd place! Beat killie and it takes us closer to whoever is in 2nd at close of play tomorrow! Give the manager till end of season, I'm frustrated at some of the results this season but I firmly believe that we are miles ahead of where we were last season! We need to bring in a couple more 'winners' in January! Still abit soft at times and lack know how when we are having an off day! Stick at it lads good times will return.



24 Oct 2017 18:16:51
Unbelievably big Bruno is the only player to get pulled up by the sfa. omg how the hell did bowman not get charged with anything. this kind of thing makes us rangers fans think the world is against us. I'm disgusted with this.



24 Oct 2017 19:12:52
And they say celtic fans are paranoid. Alves is an animal and should be punished 😉



24 Oct 2017 21:37:12
Agree Alves should have been cited but to be the only one is a mystery



25 Oct 2017 00:20:37
Aye I can't deny that. Didn't see the game but saw the broken nose challenge. Not great.



25 Oct 2017 01:09:04
It's not a mystery it's bad refereeing and badly written rules. Moult was given a yellow and Alves got nothing. The rules state that the ref had dealt with the incident re Moult and the yellow stands. The compliance officer also ruled that Bowman's second elbow should have been a yellow card, and the rules don't allow retrospective yellows to be dished out, only reds. I'm not on board with this Anti Rangers thing, it makes us sound like the paranoid Celtic fans that bleet on about it. I think it is simply down to an atrocious standard of referees that we currently have.



24 Oct 2017 18:11:59
Surly if we fail to beat killie on Wed it's adios pedro.



24 Oct 2017 18:46:56
Totally agree. but he should be sacked anyway. I've always backed him but not anymore. btw i would be delighted if he turns things around but I can't see it. we can't win 3 games in a row . he keeps playing dorrans out of possition. he should be playing were he plays Pena. I'm just sick. also wee morelos hasn't scored a goal since playing upfront on his own. he was great when playing in a two. so why change it. I'm not usually negative but I've reached the end of the road. and btw the board probably can't afford to sack Pedro and his backroom team. so bassicly we are fooked



24 Oct 2017 20:50:56
All I've read in press and heard on phone ins is how Pedro lost control and set bad example to his players when he complained to 4th official about cardosos broken nose. Neil Lennon has went toe to toe with macoist and Jim Duffy has been on park confronting refs has goaded gers fans at ibrox as Celtic and hibs manager and never got the same level of criticism as our manager off the media why is that.



25 Oct 2017 01:10:46
Because we are Rangers. Our Manager should show a better level of restraint and professionalism than the likes of Lennon.



24 Oct 2017 18:06:52
What’s the predictions for tomorrow’s game then? I can’t see by a win in what will no doubt be difficult game - agree or open fire :-) but I’ll stick money on 2-1 Rangers!



24 Oct 2017 18:24:56
Steve clarks no mug will copy motherwells tactics flying elbows they will get a result



24 Oct 2017 17:05:47
I can’t believe we have people saying just give him time or give him till Xmas. the guy is a clown big time and brings a red neck to everything Rangers when he opens his trap. every time he speaks I sit and cringe. one minute at the weekend he says in take responsibility then the next interview he blasts the players saying they embarrassed him and the club! . wtf. he's out of his depth in a big way and whoever thought appointing a manger of the 5th best team in fekin quatar was a better idea than any of the other names who were mentioned need shot aswell. the next appointment cannot be a gamble and they have to get it right.



24 Oct 2017 17:04:16
For all those wanting McInnes as our new manager. Have you looked at his record since going to Aberdeen?
He has finished 3rd, 2nd, and 2nd without us in the League, 9-1 defeat to Celtic and other disasters. Yes he finished 2nd last season when we came back. 1 League Cup and no Scottish cups. Be careful what you wish for.



24 Oct 2017 20:31:26
Mark McGhee got beat 9.1 and mcinness has done a great job at Aberdeen anyone saying different is off there nut



24 Oct 2017 20:55:13
McInnes has done a great job considering the finances available to him. I’m sure he would have spent the £8m Pedro spent much better and got players in more suitable to the Scottish game



25 Oct 2017 16:58:14
A would take McInnes. Pedro's running out of time, ideas and excuses.



24 Oct 2017 17:00:42
Let’s flog Pena at a cut-price deal and use the money to scoop McLean and Walker. Don’t think many would argue that would be a coup. Reckon we would get 1.2-1.5 for Pena simply because of his international status and bringing into consideration what we paid for him not even 6 months ago. That should be more than enough to prize two potential Scottish internationals who’s contracts are expiring.



24 Oct 2017 17:32:24
Bobbybeag, do you really think anyone will buy Pena, the guy's useless, hopefully someone in Mexico might take him for a few pesos



24 Oct 2017 17:33:09
Who is going to buy him?



24 Oct 2017 15:48:32
Alves gets 2 game ban by sfa for kicking moult on sunday while moult receives a yellow card and Bowman gets sod all for breaking our players nose with his elbow. More sporting integrity no doubt but time all this anti rangers stuff was highlighted and we stand up for ourselves.



24 Oct 2017 15:54:29
retrospective action cannot be taken if the ref has given a card



24 Oct 2017 16:52:59
Makes you wonder if he decided not to take action against alves at the time and why no action against bowman for the second elbow incident.



24 Oct 2017 17:27:13
i was thinking the same thing mate



24 Oct 2017 18:08:57
bowman was not given a yellow for breaking cardosos nose he was on a yellow before that, if he got a yellow for that he would have been off so he would miss one game for 2 yellows, alves has been stitched up big time what do you expect from a bent compliance officer, liewells puppet



24 Oct 2017 19:13:02
Short memories and you clearly don't know the rules.
You CANNOT have retrospective action for a yellow card offense, which Bowmans clearly was as he never stopped looking at the ball and his arm was straight so no intention it was clearly a yellow.
Alves clearly kicked out ( so did Moult but he was dealt with) and that's classed as violent conduct so compliance officer is duty bound to look at it.
Anyone remember Pena only a couple of weeks ago who could have been sent off 3 times and got away with it.
But its all against you, what utter rubbish.



24 Oct 2017 20:01:17
Plain and simple Bruno deserves to get charged he kicked out. bang to rights but that's not what's bothering me. it's the fact he is the only player charged after Sunday. the comp officer is not Celtics puppet. he's just crap. some of the decision this year is unbelievable. I'm sick to death of the incompetence of here in Scotland. even the refs are the worst we have ever had up here. the refs are ruining the games. and that goes for every team not just rangers games



24 Oct 2017 20:49:39
so rayman what your saying is the ref got it wrong on 2 occasions 1 he should have booked bowman and therfore sent him off for a second yellow, he should have sent off moult for violent conduct as he retaliated at alves, so alves should have walked with moult and we would not be having this discussion and it does not have anything to do with retrospective action just that the referee is crap pure and simple and should not be selected for any top flight games



24 Oct 2017 20:58:12
Rayman99

You can still elbow someone intentionally without looking at them. It makes no difference if his eyes are watching the ball. As for your other points they are fair enough especially Pena who should have walked at least twice



24 Oct 2017 21:16:07
alan shearer best elbower ever been seen



24 Oct 2017 22:01:03
Dont forget mcculloch true blue that was his nickname.
Of course u can elbow someone without looking at him but its very difficult to do it intentionally. If u are totally focused on the ball then u are deemed to elbow accidentally. If he had a sneaky look i would bet he would be off that's all the ref can gauge it on. Intention is only known to the accused.
The ref had a shocker but the point was about retro action and how only your player got it i was merely explaining.



24 Oct 2017 12:47:21
One quick post. Things haven't gone great no however. i ask. anyone on here played football at a competitive level? When you lost or it didn't all go to plan did you all turn n blame your own manager? No.
Infuriates the life out of me tbh. Change a manager we have to start again. Who would we replace him with? Let me guess. McInnes wright alex Neil n the likes. Not one if them have done anything to merit it. Anyways it beggers belief. Changing manager every yr or so won't work n will just keep us going in circles.



24 Oct 2017 15:57:11
played for a couple of teams where the manager was to blame.

I was quite often played out of position which meant I was very uneffective. as well as the others that were out of position



24 Oct 2017 16:26:42
Agree with Ivlark, came through the youth ranks at a lower league club was leading scorer in each of my 2 seasons there and then got played on the wing or dropped because they signed a guy who had experience but couldn't score in a barrell of you know what. Stood up for myself got sent down to juniors and fell out with the game. The buck stops with the gaffer I'm afraid we had a few cracking younger players but we'd have a run in the team then be left back out o played out of position and results suffered but he stuck by "his" men. Brutal.



25 Oct 2017 16:54:47
To be fair Caixinha didn't merit the role either only difference with the 3 you mentioned is they have experience of managing in this country.



24 Oct 2017 12:29:47
Dont comment on here much but as a GLASGOW RANGERS supporter all my life i'm hoping the board cut there loses and terminate pedro contract give the job to murty and miller till the end of the season then either go for MCINESS OR ALAN PARDEW the board made the wrong appointment with pedro back in march so let's hope they do the right thing onwards and upwards cheers troops



24 Oct 2017 12:14:37
pedro just is not a good manager that is plain and simple he is loosing the plot and tge dressing room
we should go for mcinnis and back him up with getting a scouting network set up a side of the football club that the board have seriously neglected
look at what he does at aberdeen on a small budget it is a no brainer



24 Oct 2017 15:49:59
So after that disaster at the weekend, is there any decent info coming out that McClean, Walker and Moult or equivalent will be coming in Jan or end of season. Give me something to look forward to.



24 Oct 2017 16:00:40
Should they not give Pedro a scouting network to help him out?



24 Oct 2017 16:27:22
Pedro has had enough cash



24 Oct 2017 12:10:30
Blackness!

True supporter? Glory seaker? You must be having a laugh! 40 years following all over the place 30 years a season ticket holder more than gives me the right to give my opinion without your misjudged comments that make me question YOUR loyalties, you contradict yourself when you say we are in "dire times " do you honestly think we should still be in "dire times" after the money we have spent the players we have brought in, if you don't know the answer then i will tell you NO .
I will always get behind my team and cannot stand back anymore and let Pedro ruin the progress we have made as a club!
Sometimes it is harder to tell the truth than be



24 Oct 2017 16:13:42
A got the same the other day because i said pedros time was up like yourself I am there every week just about but if u slag the manager off you are a glory hunter it’s absolute nonsense I think the ones that say that are probably arm chair fans anyway coop.



24 Oct 2017 12:01:18
Blackness

Your reply to my earlier post has me laughing but at the same time exasperated, you are questioning MY loyalty and being a true supporter! I have been a season ticket holder for 30 years through good and bad i and my matrs have



24 Oct 2017 10:56:19
I'm a 52 year old season ticket holder. Admittedly, I've not always been a season ticket holder due to shift work and finances. However I've been to many games over many years and saw the great, the good and the not so good players who have played for this great club. I honestly cannot recall seeing any player as poor as Pena.

I've got to acknowledge the fact that he has represented his country but based on his performances for Rangers, he simply does not look a footballer. His head is always down looking at his feet, his touch and general awareness is nowhere near the standard of a professional football player, least of all a Glasgow Rangers player. It's baffling. If Pedro is to succeed, he will need to immediately remove Pena from the squad.



24 Oct 2017 11:31:05
OTT to be fair his 2nd goal against St J showed he can read the game, get into position and be deadly with good service. He nearly set up a few on Sunday aswell in the first half, he's being a scapegoat, he will be in the top 5 scorers in the SPL at the end of the season.



24 Oct 2017 12:38:46
Pena is too hit and miss and unfortunately that has been the story of his career, apart from the obvious in that we played a terrible game on Sunday I think we need to give Herrera a chance up front and before I here that he is too slow and no good he is the only. big striker we have and with him occupying a defender or two it might give Morelos a chance to shine again as the false nine isn't working for him, Herrera has hardly had a chance he has only played about 300 mins in 9 games I think for 2 goals and one assist and we had miller in for ten games and 700 and odd minutes for 1 goal and 2 assists so I reckon herrera is worth a few complete games then if no good then back to the bench but let's give him a chance as he has a strikers eye and I would rather see chances fall to him than that dumpling Windass.



24 Oct 2017 14:57:26
Having watched pena in a few matches I have yet to see him control the ball with his first touch, it always bounces away from him, which is astonishing for an international player. He was put there to replace miller who was off form, but surely pedro must see that he is not the answer, morelos needs support and fast.



24 Oct 2017 09:42:03
After listening to Pedro at his press conference yesterday i'am now convinced his time is up, anyone who has been in management within any walk of life knows that consistency in the message you give/ send out to your players is vital, mixed and confused messages leads to total confusion and lack of confidence in your manager, Pedro time and again talks utter nonsense, one dsy he blames himself for the debacle on Sundsy 24hrs later it is totaly the players fault! CONFUSED and MIXED messages. I have no doubt Pedro is a good and honourable man but it is time for him to go.
In my opinion the man to replace him has and still is so obvious it is scary, McInnes has everything we need as a club to move forward, he is a Rangers man, he knows Scottish football, has had a good track record, knows how to deal with the Scottish press, McInnes showed in their exit to Motherwell that he knows how to admit he got it wrong and knows how to put it right, they got "battered" like we did and then 4 days later returned to Fir Park with a changed team ready for a battle and came away 1.0 winners, unfortunately as Sunday proved our league has and always will require you to battle against some hammer throwers and with the lack of good referees in our game you have to at times play them at their own game to WIN which is sad but true.
I guarantee you that if we were playing Motherwell tomorrow night Pedro would play the same 11 which no doubt would lead to the same result.
It is now time for the board to show us all if they actually have the ability and ambition to change NOW, yes it will cost us money but if this man remains much longer it will cost us a lot more than money.
Come on Dave you and the board got us into this mess it is now time to get us out of it.



24 Oct 2017 10:59:57
Good point about MacInnes completely changing his tactics after Motherwell battered them. As for Dave King, I wouldn't count on him helping the situation which is galling as he and the board have spent OUR season ticket money on a complete dud of a manager and the generally second rate players he has signed.

Caxinha can't win three games in a row in Scotland and apparently couldn't manage the feat in Qatar either, a country more interested in funding terrorism than in football. To be perfectly honest I would have preferred we went for Steve Clarke than Caxinha. I would rather have Steve Robinson or Jack Ross by a country mile. In fact, I would rather have just about any manager.



24 Oct 2017 11:43:18
72 coop I know your not the only one on the site that would like Pedro to go, so for interest sake from all who want rid, how many managers a season would you be willing to sack, what if the next guy say next week comes in and in about 3 games has not won one a game do we horse him and get another and another till we get it correct, where do we stop, we played ok against St Johnston there is a gradual improvement, I think we will get second in the league which again would be progress, be patient there is no use sacking the manager, at least give him a season and get off his back, your moaning like others just makes you sound like a glory hunter and not a true supporter who in dire times gets behind the team



24 Oct 2017 12:36:33
How does wanting the manager to go mean your not a true supporter or a glory hunter? People are entitled to their opinion and because it’s different to yours they aren’t supporters? Facts don’t lie about him, he has lost 3 games to them without any fight, under him we have had our worst result in Europe, he can’t string 3 wins together in a poor league and has a habit of losing big games. Please try and disagree with any of what I’ve said or I am just another non supporter?



24 Oct 2017 12:36:56
All, this clamour for McInnes. What has he won in order to merit him the job? Simple answer is nothing.



24 Oct 2017 08:48:34
Are Rossiter, Kranjcar and Wallace all still injured? If not, we could do worse than bring all three into the team. I know Kranjcar has fitness issues but is a class act and can pass a killer ball. Either Aberdeen or Celtic will drop points tonight, or both. If we beat Killie tomorrow night then the gap reduce. Play Hardie alongside Morelos tomorrow and play Kranjcar if fit.



24 Oct 2017 12:42:36
Kranjar too slow and inconsistent always getting caught on the ball I know the bloke has skill but he's too slow for Scotland.



25 Oct 2017 16:27:26
Kranjcar is a luxury of a player. In a sense he is a pirlo (not the same class) You need to build your team around him. If we changed our formation to a 3-5-2 and let Kranjcar be the playmaker I'd like the idea of him being in the starting 11.



24 Oct 2017 06:21:55
I for one like Pedro he's not shy to say what he thinks he doesn't keep saying the same stuff over and over again in both cases past managers have done this.

I think he should get till the end of the season chopping and changing constantly isn't going to help us and I really don't see who could come in and do any better.

My goal for this season is finish 2nd which isn't out of sight by any stretch of the imagination.

For me it's the players not showing bottle in enough matches Dorrans the big Rangers fan at the weekend was as weak as any other player on the park. Time for them all to step up all the time not for 2 outa 3 matches. Show the grit and desire the manager does and we will do a lot better.



24 Oct 2017 11:32:39
More sensible posts. keep them coming its actually refreshing!



25 Oct 2017 16:26:46
FB. I agree apart from one part. Dorrans, or anyone else for that matter (including any Motherwell player) was not worse than Pena. He might be an enigma but he was simply abysmal on Sunday. I think I counted 7 touches including one header. The header went past the post, five touches were miscontrolled and one other was a lame pass. I really don't know what he is. There were rumours on these pages earlier in the season about his inability to do the basics in training - and the evidence has been clear to see. He was exactly the same v St Johnstone but miraculously scored to excellent goals too. His contribution on Sunday, however, was inexplicably poor.



25 Oct 2017 16:50:33
Players not showing bottle? Motherwell out done us tactically. it was very simple tactics to counter and Pedro couldn't, people need to stop defending him and open their eyes.



24 Oct 2017 01:36:48
Pedro must realise that the Mexicans were a mistake. Its almost as if he is too stubborn to take pena out the team somehow believing he will become a player. Don't get me wrong I don't think he is as bad as some people make out but, just like so many others foreigners, he just can't hack it in scotland.

I think we need to try get rid of them as quickly as possible and recoup some of the transfer money which we paid for them.

Moult and walker are a must, and now I can see us missing out on moult to a championship side.

We are a better team than last year but I would have expected to be much better than we are after 8mil spent. Its 2 steps forward 1 step back at the moment.

I'm split over wether we should get rid of Pedro or give him until the end of the season - we can see signs of improvement and we are scoring much more than last season and possibly with time we can get stronger but on the other hand we can't go up against Celtic 4 or 5 tomes this season and just roll over for them. We need fight and grit.

Kevin Thomson and Ferguson type players who not only put themselves in about it they also encourage and shout at other players for going in half hearted or not turning up.



24 Oct 2017 06:44:57
Your right we are better than last year and playing in some matches good football. Rossiter would have added bite in that midfield and needs a spot in place of jack or Dorrans when he is back fit. Dorrans can then play as a 10 as Pena isn’t interested. It does not make him a bad player just not suited to our game as a few are finding out. Pedro can see a player. See he is good technically or score goals. What he can’t see is if the game in Scotland suits the player. All manager make errors in judgement Pedro just seems to be centre of attention at Scotland’s biggest club. Give him time. See who we get in January as I believe there is a team there. Just need to fill the voids that are clearly empty at the min.



24 Oct 2017 07:46:45
spot on oz blue - the Mexicans have been a mistake and a few other signings as well. By the looks of it, could take them all a long time to get up to intensity of SPL. if at all

I would bite your hand off for leaders in our dressing room
like ferguson or thomson but we’ve seen what happens to strong characters like miller who speak out about standards at our club.

i’m worried and think Moult will get snapped up by another team now - we’ve dithered too long

Realistically what decent players would want to come to us with Pedro as manager?

I bet the Huddersfield Town fans are glad they didn't let their unknown foreign manager go as in his first full season they finished 19th in the league. I live in West Yorkshire and know more town fans than Rangers fans, they told me back then that they just love the guy and he needs time and they were losing goals but they could see what he was trying to do different. I never once heard any of them calling for his head as they aren't the worlds most decorated club and don't have the pressure or scrutiny. What I'm trying to say is the people who are questioning why the board brought him in don't realise it was a gamble that could have been the best option at the time and maybe (hopefully) it may well still be. If you didn't pinch yourself when you heard a big household name like Bruno Alves was going to come to us after the years we've endured starting at the bottom and didn't get excited that Mexican international players would be arriving then your telling porkies. He has to stay it's not over yet, the Spl as a product needed a shake up and dinosaurs like McLeish will not bring that, it won't help we have to see the bigger picture. I think it's vile how the media are treating him, they flour every comment up and twist it around. The game needs characters like PC, he wears his heart on his sleeve and I love the guy I really want him to succeed and I think he will if he is given time. Be patient because putting another manager in who "knows Scottish football" is the kind of nonsense that the English game and the product they've created and succes that league has enjoyed would laugh at. Don't you see that when most of the world think about Scottish football they think of the style of play that Motherwell dishes up every week and it's time for our league to welcome more Pedros as the game needs a change and the attitude of fans is holding it back. I can see what happening and we all can, every other manager is saying it's a bunch of foreigners, go and kick them off the park and they won't like it, it's true they don't so they have to learn so keep their heads and play football, they were panicking and rushing things yesterday as they were being hacked on every challenge. The team will come good have patience there's good things on the horizon. cue the pelters.

That is your opinion Matt and you are well entitled to that but in my opinion if he can't win 3 games in a row there's serious problems somewhere and that would get most managers sacked at any big club

Best post I've seen on here for a while

So when he describes himself as a "Vampire" is that the vile media flouring his comments? lol

He is a rotten Manager who can’t win 3 games in a row in one of the poorest leagues in Europe, he humiliated us in Europe and his team has lay down to Celtic 3 times already. There is no passion, fight or bottle in the team and constantly picking the awful Pena and hapless Windass defies belief. His passion as you call it seems to be squaring up to other players or managers on the touchline which to me isn’t befitting of a Rangers Manager. This man gives the press enough ammunition to have a go at him and he has no one to blame but himself for the media attention. He was a shocking appointment and has set us back another few seasons. Once he has gone someone else will need to come in and try and build a team. It’s going to take years to sort the mess out and the longer he is in charge the longer it’s going to take to sort out his mess
