Suddenly gerrard is a saviour and you are getting all this investment! A poll on sky says 83% say they don't want him and 67% have said he won't win a title with rangers and I just wondered who is going to invest in a club that still has so much debt at last count it was said they had 5 loans roughly £17m each although as you know I'm a hibby but I don't want any team to go bust or have money problems but all off a sudden everyone on here is thinking it's all behind us it's not you still have a long way to go it will take at least another 4-5 seasons to get back to winning the league. I've also been told at this moment Gerrard has only been promised £10m to spend so let's wait and see how it goes personally I think that he' will be out by February 2019 but that's only in my opinion.

04 May 2018 21:56:29
ok mate

04 May 2018 21:59:07
From what I can make of it, the loans get returned in shares, and by doing this, they get a bigger stake in the club while everyone else's shares get diluted. So in a way, they are increasing their stake without buying shares.

04 May 2018 22:08:59
Aye whitever, away over to yer own page, or are you no big enough yet to have one

04 May 2018 22:10:51
You worry about your team and we will worry about ours. I’m delighted we have Gerrard and am confident he will get the backing by the board. I think a lot of your post is wishful thinking and like that other mob your concerned that we might just have got someone to turn the club around

04 May 2018 22:13:20
Where did you hear he’s only getting 10 million to spend?

04 May 2018 22:24:57
The polls are the way they are because it's Celtic and hubs fans etc that are voting in big numbers. Don't worry we feel your pain. Watch out for Monday press conference.

04 May 2018 22:34:18
Blablabla!

We’ll do our talking on the pitch.

04 May 2018 22:34:37
Just worry about your own team

04 May 2018 22:38:01
We are enjoying our moment hibsboy we’ve not had much to cheer of late and this this box office stuff.

04 May 2018 22:38:28
Hibsboy that's your cell been cleaned time to go back in night night.

04 May 2018 22:40:21
What a fud. End of

04 May 2018 22:43:39
17 million in total soft loans not each it's public knowledge u honestly thonot the directors have put in 85 million in soft loans. Heard of the dembele calculator buto deary me.

04 May 2018 22:48:34
😂😂😂 just watched Rangers and mr Stevie Gerrard on the big news.

Just concentrate on your wee team hibsboy because a sky poll has just confirmed 100% of Rangers fans couldn’t give a monkies about Hibs.

04 May 2018 22:52:04
Nobody cares what you think. Your manager has popcorn for teeth. Hibs are an irrelevant club a fart in a nightclub.

04 May 2018 23:05:55
Only £10m?

I couldn’t care less if Lennon left tomorrow or stayed for the rest of his career, in my opinion it’s bizarre you’re here brandishing the stats and chipping in with our manager leaving in February before he’s even started and when your own club are doing relatively well? Obsessed indeed.

Do you know how much of a transfer budget your own team have for next season?

04 May 2018 23:11:49
Has your cider run out Muppet? What a sad, scared Timmy you are!

04 May 2018 23:23:41
Haven't heard anyone say he is a saviour. It's a blockbuster appointment regardless of his experience everyone is talking about it. Not guaranteed success but I think he has the characteristics to be a good manager. Only time will tell of course but it's exciting nonetheless

04 May 2018 23:35:18
HibsBhoy get real, Stevie G is here to enhance his own reputation and will only do that by delivering success, he may fail but that will not be for the want of trying or appetite on his his part and I just hope we can put a side on the park in the mould of the man, and he is the man, let’s give him our patience bears, this is no Pedro or Warburton we have on our hands, this is a thoroughbred who will develop and improve and will thrive on our support, as bigmarv always said, Keep Believing! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

04 May 2018 23:37:39
Why do you care so much? You know more about our club than us lol. Are you sure your a hibs fan?

04 May 2018 23:43:14
Hibsboy . the 83% were bog trotters highjacking the poll! . But thanks for your concern. He May or may not have that amount of money to spend (think you’ll find it a tad more😉) but he will improve the team. that I have no doubt. Can you and your inbred cousins no just be happy for us? Just once! 🤨

05 May 2018 00:26:11
HibsBhoy, get a grip ya walloper. You not got a spoon to burn somewhere?

05 May 2018 00:27:19
i don’t care about hibs, never have

i’ve never looked for aberdeen's result, why would I

and i certainly cldnt give a monkeys about timmy as obsessing about their rivals is their forté

press coverage of a team going for back to back trebles this wk tells you all you need to know

it’s ALL about the Rangers . we are still the only show in town

he’s no experience he’ll be sacked by xmas . really

let’s wait and see

i’m not worried but i know plenty who are

it’s all they talk about

we are all they talk about

04 May 2018 21:33:57
Now that Steven Caulker seems settled in Scotland and back playing regular, I’ll be surprised if Gerrard doesn’t consider him a transfer target. With all the difficulties he’s had I’m glad to see him playing again and hope perhaps to see him in a Rangers top soon! (Ps him and Skrtel would be a monstrous pairing at centre half. slower than a week in the jail but still monstrous! )

04 May 2018 21:04:48
Been wondering what to say here really bears.

all a can come up with is that this feels really special, unlike it has done for a VERY VERY long time.
and a mean beyond even 2012.

this feels special


big task lad,

let's go.

04 May 2018 20:04:40
Been thinking today amid all the change and with a new manager coming in.

I’d like to see the club connect more with supporters, especially the next generation.

For example, why not have an open training session at Ibrox on a Thursday or Friday before an away game.

Let the U17’s and the development squad play home games there too, if fixtures allow and put them on at weekends or Friday nights too, if the first team are away.

I’m sure fans would come out and support. I’m think a £5 fee for adults and kids free if accompanied, plus fire in a couple of pies etc and your making upwards of £15/ 20 per fam of 4.

If you got between 1500/ 3500 or 3500/ 5000 attending, your into between £70 or £100k a time, Could be used on the stadium, on the academy or fund a few players wages.

Would give the club a chance too include the next generation and improve relations between fans and club.

Just a thought.

04 May 2018 20:19:08
Great shout mate

04 May 2018 20:31:34
And the young bears club. My oldest was a member, was looking forward to signing up the younger one but it hasn't been around for years.

04 May 2018 20:42:41
Jardine72 great idea but you wonder how someone at the club can't come up with your idea. good shout mate.

04 May 2018 20:48:12
I'd love that jardine I just think the park would get in a bit of a state for games

04 May 2018 20:53:50
Covenantor I’m sure the ground staff could manage it, it’s only an extra two games, our surface is good.

I see teams like Bayern and Barcelona doing it, even teams such as Köln and Auxerre have open training sessions. Great way too keep the young bears interested.

04 May 2018 19:21:23
I've got to say I would have been happy with Gary McAllister on his own after Pedro so this is unbelievable . 4 year deal instead of 3 also for Stevie g shows he's in it for the long run.

04 May 2018 19:30:18
I loved Gerrard's reply "I miss FIGHTING for 3 points on a Saturday"
thats a word for the non triers we have

04 May 2018 20:21:40
Its all about the players now, they are playing for their future. If i were a player knowing Steven Gerrard is now manager and possibly watching then i'd be busting a gut and playing out of my skin. Having said that i'm sure Gerrard has a pretty good idea who he wants to keep. i'm expecting a huge effort tomorrow .

04 May 2018 23:45:53
Exactly Bluepete, this bunch for whatever reason have never had the appetite and desire to fight for the 3 points, Stevie will change that or ship them out

04 May 2018 19:01:52
There are 3 bigs games still to go this season. I hope the team haven’t been distracted by all the news today. let's hope the team can add to the big news by winning at the weekend for starters. I would like to think the players will be out to impress the new manager, and let's see a more competitive team on Saturday. BRING IT ON! let's GO!

04 May 2018 18:36:57
totally buzzing with gerrard appiontment diehard bear but also love liverpool remember when we signed souness was overjoyed at the time but i feel this is bigger his hunger and desire is stronger the man is a born winner big times ahead we are the people again lol.

04 May 2018 18:11:27
I think DK has pulled off a blinder by securing SG.

McAllister is another Rangers man and will relish being the foil.

Another world class name walks into the Bears den.

I’m sure we will be fitter, hungrier, more determined and sharper under the new management team.

Hopefully Jimmy Nicholl can Gee the lads up for the last 3 games and secure a Euro bearth.

Suddenly having hope is a good things.

Onwards

04 May 2018 17:29:01
Thought that was a really good press conference no outlandish claims thought Steven Gerrard came across as a very confident guy with an underlying determination to be fair I thought Dave King was good also Can't imagine gerrard and mcallister putting up with any crap
I'm feeling good for once as a bear I really hope we get 2nd now give him a great Base to work from.

04 May 2018 18:16:38
Agree totally. Steven Gerrard came across as cool, determined and he knows what he wants. Streets ahead already of Pedro and Warburton. Will be interesting to see how many players lift their game tomorrow and the last 2 games away. It should show up the real chancers in our dressing room. We all need to get behind Stevie G (Ger) . This is so positive for the club. great appointment

04 May 2018 17:16:58
We have a great signing so let's hope it rubs off on our squad. Three wins gives us second place and is what the current squad really should deliver to us.
270 minutes of total concentration and effort. Jimmy Nicholl will have us organised and so to the players selected, this is your chance to show that you have something to offer, and are not as worthless as you have shown recently.

04 May 2018 16:38:52
Stevie g says It's important to me to come to your work smiling. Well that's el buffalo out the door then lol.

04 May 2018 16:32:00
I hope to God SG is going to work out long term but at this point in time we've made a massive signing that's put us back on the map world wide with a big blue thump.

Timothy, Sheep and Diddies, You may mock, we know who you are. We don't know what you want. If you're looking for revenge, I can tell you it pointless but what Rangers do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills we have acquired over a very long history. Skills that make us a nightmare for people and clubs like you. If you let it go, now, that will be the end of it. We will not look for you, We will not pursue you. But if you don't, We will look for you, We will find you and we will destroy you.

04 May 2018 18:01:40
Aye awryt Liam Neeson haha

04 May 2018 16:15:36
I think Gerrards been on here gathering our opinions before taking the job, this wee quote of his is spot on and I hope he sticks to it

"But what I won’t be is one of those managers that goes on about a philosophy and talks and talks and talks; I think it’s important to walk the walk. "

04 May 2018 15:38:34
Must say, watched Gerards press conference and very impressed.

04 May 2018 15:15:51
I think that McAllister might be a more important signing than Gerrard. Great experience to assist Gerrard.

04 May 2018 14:45:45
right we got Stevie G in. but what's next we still need to finish 2nd and try get to the group stages of the europa league. but saying that all the loanees won't stay.

saying that Stevie might want a hole new squad.

but what's the kitty like. £2 - 5 -7 - 10 - £15 million. regardless what we spend Celtic can better that. they have a larger kitty than us and can attract bigger players due to champions league. yeah we have a big name as a manager that players will want to maybe play for but again Rangers come with a bad rep. 4 managers within 2 years. Warburton, Pedro, Murty and now Gerrard. let's hope this one cam see out his contract.

04 May 2018 15:40:41
That's not bad rep that's bad management which would appear to have been eradicated PLUS possible new chairman/ board. This is not a possible bar to signing players we want but if anything a good honey trap for the best PLUS presence of SG to allow better set up.

04 May 2018 14:29:35
Gerrard wasn’t my preferred choice but, I and I’m sure the majority of Rangers fans and supporters wish him all the best. I hope that the board algo give the support and backing that he requires. Also I am sure that he and Gary McAllister will attract footballers to Rangers that previously may have been unsure about coming to Rangers. Do you think that Gerrard could help improve certain players at the club? I think Rossiter May benefit (as long as he stays fit), also maybe he could help get more from Windass. At the start of the season though I am sure it will be a very different team as to what we see until the end of the season. I have seen quite a few different rumours already (loans and permanent) including:

Carroll
Skrtel
Solankie
Woodburn
Adam
Crouch
Morrison
Rooney
Rodwell

I’m sure he will be looking to make signings as soon as possible. His first few confirmed signings should give us an idea of what direction we are heading.

04 May 2018 15:07:43
if the rumours on McGregor are true it look like we are cashing in on foderingham which we should get around 3 million for. hopefully that will be added to the transfer kitty.

I honestly don't think we are that far away from having a good team. If we an get two proper centre backs with mcrorie acting as back up/ rotation that should sort out the defense.

if we get arfield and a good defensive player in we will have good options with dorrans, jack, rossiter, holt and windass.

murphy and candias are both good players on the wings.

strikers are a problem, I don't rate morelos but he might get better with time. i'd like to sign Oliver Mcburnie but I think we also need a big target man when teams sit in against us.

if we can clear the decks of the players not good enough like pena, herera, halliday, hodson, o'hallran etc and get in some good back up we will have a good squad.

04 May 2018 14:20:52
Stevie G has signed a 4 year deal good luck and welcome

04 May 2018 14:01:10
All the talk of no managerial experience, yes it's true and it is a bit worrying, but then I sit and think about it, Gerrard has played at the top level, trained at the top level, premier league experience, champions league experience, international experience a plenty, high fitness regimes, I could go on.
The main point is, he has played and learned from top managers throughout his career, he would gained various tactical knowledge from different managers different methods, basically all his knowledge will be of HUGE benefit to Rangers and I'm certainly excited about what he's going to bring to our club!
This could turn out to be an amazing era we're entering so strap in and enjoy the ride

04 May 2018 13:33:37
Well the media are going crazy, certainly for the moment the story is nothing but positive.

There must be money coming otherwise Gerrard ain't saying YES.

It's risky but so was Souey! Different time different circumstances I know.

I just love the fact that Rangers are still able to attract the biggest of names to the club, even when we are at the bottom!

If this fails then the board must go. I've heard King is off and that is the next Chess piece being moved.

04 May 2018 14:01:33
Hearing that guy sarver is back in the frame

04 May 2018 13:17:54
Stevie g has arrived at ibrox

Happy days.

04 May 2018 12:46:40
See McCoist bumping his gums again. What a bitter twisted tit he is turning out to be.
If only he was half as good a manager as he was a striker for us, we wouldn't have been so far behind.
So many chances to bring the young guns through but stuck to his pals and stupid wages in the bottom tiers.

04 May 2018 14:08:46
Name the young guns he could of brought through and where are they now?

04 May 2018 12:27:07
Martin Skirtel knocked unconscious nearly swallowed tongue and played on in match for his country. Guts and determination in abundance. Just the type of player we need. Welcome Steven Gerrard MBE to Ibrox.

04 May 2018 12:48:27
Where are all the mhankies today?!?!?!?!

04 May 2018 14:35:29
gram probably at ibrox?

04 May 2018 11:33:28
Conference moved to 3pm.

04 May 2018 11:16:35
Now that wee have our new gaffer. I wonder where the money is coming from to bank roll us. Hope that announcement is made at the same time. Exciting times ahead for us. Talk of skirtel is already got my hopes up. Wonder if Torres fancies a year here as an old pals act or if Klopp will help out with a few loans of fringe players.

04 May 2018 10:52:37
Steven Gerrard will be confirmed as the new #Rangers manager at a 3pm Media conference. Get yourself along to Ibrox!

04 May 2018 10:26:19
I just hope he doesn't underestimate the Scottish game like Warburton and sign some decent players.

04 May 2018 09:40:36
Even after everything our club has been through these past few years we can still go out there and pull in the biggest names in world football. Who was the last person who had Stevies standing in the game to join the Tims? We wanted a big name. Well lads they don't come much bigger than Steven Gerrard. let's get right behind our team for WE ARE THE PEOPLE!

🔴⚪🔵.

04 May 2018 08:59:34
Steven Gerrard. Welcome to Glasgow Rangers sir. The worlds most successful football club. Onwards and upwards. Let's get behind the new management team bears.

04 May 2018 09:19:36
I’d urge every user on this site to tweet Humza Yousaf transport minister and give him the spoiler alert Steven Gerrard WILL be the Rangers manager after his tweet ridiculing us
welcome Stevie G

04 May 2018 08:28:46
See Gerrard's main priority is too sign Martin Skrtal, think this would be a fantastic signing

04 May 2018 07:14:05
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 4th May 2018

04 May 2018 01:12:27
Just a thought, it's been an incredible piece of
Pr that all week the papers have been filled with rangers and Stevie g

04 May 2018 06:16:02
The best celtic story is tht moussa dembele says a rangers player called him "a rubbish football" in the record 🤣

04 May 2018 06:38:19
Let all turn out in our thousands at ibrox to welcome S G today

04 May 2018 07:41:32
Don’t forget the free fanny pads😂😂🇬🇧

04 May 2018 11:18:08
Great timing cellic not in papers, did they actually win league lol

04 May 2018 00:07:58
Well If SG is indeed revealed tomorrow let's back him and the club and show a bit patience and hope he SHUTS up all the Celtic friendly media who tried to put him off!

04 May 2018 07:59:11
We definately need to go give him time mate
