{Ed001's Note - just to say, I would rule out Jonny Ertl, he is highly unlikely to move north of the border due to his missus. She has a very good job, based in Northampton, for the English FA and a budding career as a singer, she has recorded a few tracks with a friend of mine.}

Not heard of most of them, but under McCoists guidance any ability they have would be wasted, it wouldn't matter if Barcelona gave us their full team McCoist would play exactly the same way. awful.
We need to get a real manager in and give him money to sign the players he wants in the positions the team needs rather than buying cheap rubbish and sticking them on in any position.
Basically Green and co need to remember we are a football club first and foremost, there might be some money that he can make but not if we don't pay it, I have no interest in watching the current dross and will not part with a further penny until McCoist has been sacked and we have a proper manager and players with more ability than the part timers who are humiliating us.

Dont know what everyone thinks, but I would take Daly in a minute, would certainly do a job, and I would hope that his attitude/workload would rub off on others, [no names required]
Believable14
Unbelievable7
We can mention the best players available for signing, but until we have a management and coaching staff in place we could make Ronaldo and Messi look ordinary. Get the coaching structure correct and then any talent in players will surface.
Agree11
Disagree1
Re 1] yeah agree but you still need ability and attitude to start with, and right now we have quite a few with neither.
Agree3
Disagree1
Daly is not the way ahead for Rangers. He is far too old. The only way forward is to buy young players further develop them then sell them on. Nicky Law fits that bill
Agree4
Disagree5
Nothing against Jon Daly but I think he's too similar to lee mcculloch, is he what we're really looking for or need?
Hutton2
Agree4

@3: and you think they would really develop under this management team?!
Agree7

This nonsense is making us a laughing stock, stop posting such pxxh,
lets just post evry player in britain eh? wot a sad shower, this is rangers ffs, do we not still have requirements to be a gers player?
unbelievable drivel, Tommyblue
Agree5
Disagree4
Personally, I'm in no rush. I'd be much happier with a developing group of young players than continuing to be a retirement home and pension fund. Trouble is, any genuine young talent out there would have to be mental to come anywhere near us with our current coaching set up. We're already in the process of ruining the young talent we already have.

@5 yeah your right mate need to get rid of current management team before any player develops

ok I know we can't sign players until January but when we can buy players why not go for nahki wells from bradford he's small but he's quick and has scored quite a few for bradford this season I seen him playing in the fa cup and I was impressed and he's got a lot of time to get better as he's only 22 what do you all think

Lyle Taylor has scored 21 GOALS and Andy Little 22.

Your right mate, taylor would be a good signing if we didn't have a hemmings, same type of player, coached differently, evidently. Under this backroom regime our current youth squad with never reach the hights players like taylor are hitting. We shouldn't need to add to wage bill, nurturing our youngsters correctly is the way forward, like we all keep saying, unfortunately some folk don't share the same mantra

Ed I've worried virtually from day 1 about Charles green, I'm more convinced than ever that we could be back at square 1 if not worse, I don't believe a single word of what he says, my main concern is way ally is still manager? It's not because of his management skills, so why keep him? Any thoughts ed? Has your opinion of green changed? {The Ed039's Note - I like the guy, I would be interested to see year end accounts and what his plans are for next season, but liking the guy and agreeing with his business plan are 2 different things, I dont think the business model has ever been right and Ally is part of that business plan, and everyone knows my views on Ally, legend - hell yes, manager - hell no)
Believable10
Unbelievable2
Easy - pay off ally cost money, sack ally still pay him money. Ally offers to 'leave' no money.
Green properly knows McCoist is hopeless but if anyone new comes in then they want a transfer budget which again costs money. Accounts will be very interesting bearing in mind the naming right will be involved in that account too.
Lenny
Agree2
Disagree3
At sheffield green brought in poor players that were expensive and sold the team, same here tried to sell team but they tuped off, brought in players, poor quality but on huge undisclosed salaries, only when sandaza caught do we find how bad.
no debt was claim, truth is worse than before, who owns stadium, £2 million for a car park when trying to rebuild. if back in admi what good a car park for rebuilding a team. worse now than before
Agree5
Disagree1
The car park is a money maker, I'm sure you buy a season ticket for it, not too sure of the prices though, but it can certainly fit an awful lot of cars in, I'm sure the £2m will be paid off relatively quickly.
Hutton2
Agree3

It looks like you might be right.

3) the car park season ticket was £250 reduced last year to £200. There must be 1500 places. Good money

Ed,
Any idea when we're being given the list of options for the renaming of Ibrox? or what the options may be?
Personally I'm against it under this regime as I think it's just another way to make a quick buck for Chuck.
Baybear {The Ed039's Note - Was Sports Direct not announced?)

Still waiting for the Murray park name change!
Agree7

Yeah Ed, I know it's Sports Direct but was the agreement (by 300 supporters club representatives?!?!?) that it was fine as long as it had Ibrox in the title? We were then told options would be posted on the club website to vote on. I'd like to point out that those 300 don't represent me. In fact, I'm getting pretty sick of being 'represented' by effin' supporters groups that don't ever ask my opinion!

The season is over now! so who cares who ally puts on the pitch the title has been won div 3 job done!
Lets now concentrate on getting rid of deadwood and brining in some decent free agents to strengthen the squad and help us move forward next season.
Let the young lads get as much experience as possible while we can.
*ksd*
Believable13
Unbelievable6
Getting rid of the dead wood is going to be hard. Who in their right mind will pay players like Sandaza, Black, Cribari & Faure the wages they are currently on? If Rangers release them it will cost us money we don't have. We don't have enough good enough youth players either at the moment. I doubt there will be that much movement in the summer and not many new players coming in after the embargo ends. Rangers have done the same thing in the summer that got them into trouble in the first place. Namely paying poor players more money than we can afford

Rangers’ moves for two new signings could be scuppered by SFL rules - and their own players.
Ally McCoist is reportedly keen on Honduran midfielder Arnold Peralta and Mexican striker Alan Pulido. Both are available on free transfers at the end of the season, but as the duo are non-EU nationals they will need work permits.
The SFL only have 20 spots for non-EU players across the leagues, and limit these to three per club. If Rangers bring back American Carlos Bocanegra and Romanian Doran Goian from their loans it will put the Gers over their quota, and McCoist will have to give up the chase of one of his targets. {The Ed039's Note - Romania joined the EU on 1st Januaruy 2007, Goian does not need a work permit to work here, Romanian's need some sort of registration document to be here working, but not a work permit, and a few of my Romanian colleagues have advised me that this registration document will no longer be needed in the near future)
Believable11

Romania get full membership soon. Daily mail run stories daily about how they are going to invade the uk soon lol
Agree4

Ed, this is the current status on Romanian's from the UKBA website.
From 1st January 2007, as European Economic Area (EEA) nationals, Romanians have been able to move and reside freely in any EU Member State. Romanian nationals wanting to work in the UK will need to obtain authorisation to work before starting any employment, unless they are exempt from doing so.
Most categories of employment will require your employer to obtain a work permit before you apply for an accession worker card.
However, in certain permit-free categories you will only have to apply for an accession worker card.
These categories are:
* airport-based operational ground staff of an overseas airline
*au pair placements
*domestic workers in a private household
*ministers of religion, missionaries or members of a religious order
*overseas government employment
postgraduate doctors, dentists and trainee general practitioners
*private servants in a diplomatic household
*representatives of an overseas newspaper; news agency or broadcasting agency
sole representatives
*teachers or language assistants on an approved exchange scheme
*overseas qualified nurses coming for a period of supervised practice
Agree1
Disagree2
Romanians as EU citizens can visit and stay in the country, but their employer needs to obtain a work permit to employ them. This only applies to Romanians and Bulgarians.
Agree1
Disagree2
Romania, Bulgaria and others are not full members of eu. Their full memberships are being delayed as they don't meet the financial targets. Their citizens cannot freely move within eu with regards to employment.
Green/ McCoist know this and are deliberately targeting non viable international players they can not sign up. Thus blaming SFL, SFA, etc. For not signing anyone. Why not target viable players from European 500 million people?
Agree4
Disagree2
The border agency is getting scraped. And immigration tightened up. Why would the government allow a Mexican or Honduran in to play bottom tier football taking a uk players job and only playing part timers? That cannot be justified.
Agree3
Disagree2
SFL div1 should get all twenty spots. It would be amazing for work visas to be issued for div2 and div3. That level of football/ employment does not merit awarding foreigners visas and work permits.
What div in England is the cut off for foreigners?

Just a point for us fans to ponder,
john brown would have been a godsend in this rangers dressing room, simply because he wouldn't have allowed certain, players, to treat playing for rangers as just another job, it isn't, nor is playing for celtic, bomber has faced total hostility from people who used to be heavily involved at dundee, at the top level simply because he is a ranger thru and thru, certain things were said in the dundee directo
rs. Box
x. Rece'ntlmy when bomber and butcher came down the tunnel together regarding bombers background, I dkont mean make him manager, but walter knew bombers worth at ibrox, do u think john would watch as the likes of black puts a gers, john put his neck on the line and allowed his emotions to get the better of him, he wasn't the only one during this period, certain things were said to him behind close doors, ttbop on and then plays like a spoilt bully?
Believable11
