There are so many confusing and unanswered questions that I can't get my head round over the past few years. Here are just a few -
What was in Murrays mind when he sold the club to Whyte when he clearly knew this guy was a con artist. Don't let him fool anyone otherwise.
Why was Ally give 3 years on a ridiculous salary when it was clear for all to see after a few months that he was not up to the job. He should have been sacked years ago as he has assembled and managed by far the worst Rangers team in history?
Why did Dave King and co not come in at the time Charles Green and his cronies took on the club after liquidation? Why did they wait so long which would avoided all the issues we have now?
Why is Kenny McDowall still in charge of the team when it is clear he is tactically clueless like Ally and cannot motivate the team. Any half decent manager could do a better job that what he is offering at present. Get rid now as there is no chance of getting through the play offs with him in charge
Is Bilel Moshni really a footballer? I have had doubts for a while? I think he is a Celtic supporter in disguise because he is quite simply one of the worst footballers I have ever seen. The same could be said for a few others as they are taking a salary under false pretences and cheating the club
Does anyone else agree?

not the sort of rangers fan that likes to put the boot into the side especialy when were down but surely there is someone in the set up that can motivate the side more than mcdowell won't slate the man because he never wanted the job but for fu@@ sake nows the time to make a change only a few games left to make a charge

Steviec. I agree with most of your post mate, the bit I can't agree with is mr king etc should have got involved sooner, I think once duff and phelps go involved there was only going to be the charlieboy as new owner, but we will find out the true story when the four accused go to court, I also don't think they will be the only ones charged, more to follow, IDE imagine.

Tonight was very poor, no improvement. Lots of pass backs, no defence splitting passes. I am afraid Rangers are going nowhere on the footballing side, infact backwards. McDowell on £400K a year should be ashamed, how he can hold his head high is an affront to Rangers. Risking resigned on £67K trying to I prove himself.
As the City says Rangers are toxic, and certainly no quick fix.

28 Feb 2015 08:43:44
I will slate the man, if he doesn't want the job then why does he not just go, he costing us points!

28 Feb 2015 09:51:20
Agree with most of your post mate. Moshni is a bomb scare but to be honest he is not the worst player in that team and if you watch him he does actually put in a few saving clearances in every game. Unorthadox but effective I would say.

Agree2 Disagree1

28 Feb 2015 11:23:37
Hooly78 - one reason money. Same with Ally they want their £14,000 and £7,000 a week. That is more important than the club and the embarassing, shambolic, clueless and spineless football of their entire "reign". Kenny Boy doesn't want to be there but he wants his money more.Most mere mortals would probably do the same but surely not a legend like Ally?

28 Feb 2015 11:30:59
if he is not worst tell me who is he is a liability every game

After glimmer of hope last Friday, the effort of pressing and running appears to have got to the team. Hopelessly unfit, clueless at set pieces and long periods of being unable to simply get the baw. Nicky Clark has had my sympathy, but had the sort of night that'll end up with him getting hit by a meteorite on way home. sure his peg fell of the wall in the dressing room when he hung his clobber on it as well. the long hours of training put in by Smith trying to hit the first defender on the ear/arse/elbow/knee with his crosses paid off, as that's what he did all night. abysmal. do I think ANY post-EGM manager could sort this sub-pub team out at the moment? No, I don't. two potential play-off opponents have ragged us. we'll need a miracle of Easter Road 2005 proportions to get up.

27 Feb 2015 22:14:47
Our intrepid goalkeeper versus the other 21 until 14 minutes to go when Falkirk realized there was now someone one on the park who could actually score and went defensive.
Is Ally still picking the team do you think.

28 Feb 2015 01:25:05
Really really poor performance tonight, no one getting their foot on the ball! Murdoch for me looked too light-weight in there, got shoved off the ball a few times, good experience for the lad but like playing with a man down! a lot of long balls up2 Boyd in which case he clearly has no idea what to do with, that's when he even won any. i'm not going to bother touching on Moshni.

Its a team of passengers .

Kenny's comments during the week to the press wishing Ally to be still there & not him as Manager is just a pure & utter embarassment on his behave! its not the first time he's been out moaning about being there either, when do you EVER hear Managers speak like that? the man has no self respect!

Maybe after next Friday an appointment will be made till the end of the season, can't see out the season like this.

Agree3 Disagree1

27 Feb 2015 21:54:02
why does law get a game every week he gives nothing to the team the game just seams to pass him by when they say there is no hiding place you can bet law will find one he is a disgrace to the jersey and the manager is a joke they say his garden is full of weeds give mcdowel a trowel and send him on his way

I have believed for some time now, even if King & Co win the boardroom battle, that I do not think Rangers should go into the Premiership, in my opinion they will get beaten up by every team they meet. I think it is best for them to play next year in the Championship and slowly build a team with the new manager and develop a winning mentality whilst building a team that could challenge the top four. let's not kid ourselves, Rangers at the moment would struggle against the bottom four in the Premiership - it is sad but very true - we struggled against Albion Rovers! Have we moved on since then? I don't think so! Unless we get a major cash injection we are were we are, and remember it was major cash injections that got us into trouble in the first place.

RB

Trust me when McInnes comes in to manage this team will get the BIGGEST wake up call EVER

Jig, Boyd, Moshni, Foster and a good few others will be sent to the Garden of Al and Ken to help with the weeding

He will knock the remaining squad into shape and with some youth recalled and possibly a couple of out of contracts brought in I will not be surprised to see us start using TACTICS and a GAME PLAN plus EFFORT in every game we may well win playoffs.

If we don't it is a year to make up for the Ally n Kenny Show and build a squad and playing style we can be proud of to win prootion the next year

This squad are totally useless due to one man The Salary and his chronic lack of any of the abilities a football manager requires

i see Zaliukas was missing again this time Flu -the only thing he hasn't suffered from since signing is PMT but even on that I'm not so sure. Like the poster above says it's time to get the hoover out and clear out themess once and for all. King and co better sharpen their pencils and also need to make sure they put in place the best possible coaching team otherwise we are heading for life as a mid table championship team

See that Derek llambias ( what, s that guy all about), threatening his own supporters with legal action the rfb was set up by the existing board, are they trying to rile the support up to cause a disturbance at the egm.

Believable7 Unbelievable0

27 Feb 2015 10:58:36
This is what you call the sadest bitch type reaction the the Fans Board effectively revealing the disgusting attitude that Llameass, Leach and Somers have towards the average Rangers supporter and to the people such as King and the 3Bears that have put a stop to their destruction of Glasgow Rangers in service of their paymaster Ashwipe.

For a so called adult and representative of Rangers FC to act in such a petulant and pathetic manner just shows you really what these persons are like.

As tape recorded by a Newcastle fan he did say "Just wait till you see how horrible we can be" and that is clearly true. To turn on fans for just being truthful (unlike the board) is petty beyond belief.

Thank god these idiots are being removed I can't even imagine what further damage was awaiting us in their hands. well actually I can, Admin 2 and return to Newcastle with all Rangers assets on a plate for that F*T COCKNEY PR**K Ashwipe.

Good riddance

The thing is ally, if llambias, leach & somers are like we all hope voted off at the egm mike ashley has the right under his last loan agreement allowed to appoint 2 directors onto the rangers board so my take on it is that he'll re-appoint llambias & leach until such time that king & co stump up the big money required to pay ashley his money back and more, what's your take on this ed?

27 Feb 2015 19:34:19

28 Feb 2015 08:23:11
Well if rumors are true Ashley will also end up with 3 directors on the board? surely not again,,,,,,,,,, the man will never let go there is to much money to be made from us and as for the hidden ones (Green and co) they are still making money out of us too, so where will we be able to make enough money to pay the debt and make a fresh start.

27 Feb 2015 09:23:15
On a banter note

How differently do you feel now about the statement:

"We Don't Do Walking Away"

Compared to 3 years ago when The Contract Not Reader Guy came out with it?

They make me sad about the waste of 3 years that not walking caused our team

George)those words will haunt many, at the time it's what we all wanted and needed to hear it galvanised us in our darkest hours, as time moved on supers failings on the touchline became more and more apparent couple that with his willingness to back every clown that wished to be ringmaster of the Ibrox circus will live long amongst us, however all change next week anew beginning anew regime a chance to do what should of been done when first we don't do walking away were immorally quoted.

strange fans we have sometimes.

27 Feb 2015 20:47:45
What Ally actually said was "this is Rangers, We don't do walking away" I and the rest of you are proof of that. WE haven't walked away from OUR team. It is a quote that we will use from now until the end of time.

Agree1 Disagree1

27 Feb 2015 21:13:54
Well said Canadianblue, those that did walk away have to put a different spin on it though.

Agree1 Disagree2

27 Feb 2015 22:11:28
Many did stay away but not walk away we found giving money to getting our Club back rather than contributing to its demise supporting the board a better option. no one who has rangers in there blood walks away.

Regarding wages, though I can only speak for myself I do not know how geedy jr is, but personally I am happy to sign any contract placed in front of me and promise I will not read it. This is based on fact I expect roughly 800k a season plus bonuses and I want to bring a few of my pals as assistants and consultants ok?

A dedicated true blue Rangers man, and the money means nothing to me honest

jr

I have no idea what I am getting I did not read my contract!

As your number 2 I will need supply of those Clip Boards and lots of pens for my tactics drawings to show you as the games progress.

I would suggest we get a couple of straight jackets so that we are in the "folding arms" position all the time without having to think about it. Gives us more time to look all serious as things start to go wrong on the pitch

ps I have ordered The Beachgrove garden Xmas Annual for our likely Gardening duties midway through the season

It really is great to see the 2 Rangers fans groups growing in size and buying more and more shares.
And it's only a good thing. I personally think long term they need to try and go along the lines of Barca.
they are not a public company, as a supporter you sign up for the membership every year, which I think is about $100. So this is the equivalent of the direct debit we are all currently giving the 2 fans groups.
But as part of the membership you get advantages, the main one being you get a discounted season ticket for $200.
It would be a massive transition to move the whole company from being a plc to this but I think it's the only way to go.
Then hold 'elections' every few years to elect a president/chairman.

As currently I am paying the direct debit to the fans groups, and it's as we want the **** out if our club. But what happens when it's all owned by the fans? I think my suggestion is one which would be brilliant. And us rangers fans are dedicated and don't do walking away. And we have the numbers to create a great fan ownership.

Cheers

Agree totally I have been a member of Barca for many years and it is the ONLY chance of tickets for the Real games

I have only won tickets 3 times in all those years

Exactly what Rangers need would fund player and youth development annually plus other things I am sure.

Great thought, but only a thought i'm afraid, we keep having the nasty way of wanting rich entrepreneurs in charge who in the end are there for themselves only. blazers and the tie seem to be "golden key" for them all.
