Bang out of order the crap McD is getin! The man didn't ask for the job and doesn't want it! He is a rangers man trying his best. You lot need a word!!

07 Mar 2015 22:47:27
Agree 100% I want a new manager but I want ally and kenny to stay on and coach

07 Mar 2015 22:18:38
jack 1 you must be joking if he did not want the job he should not have taken it we do have a word in the dictionary its no and do you actually go to any games and see the dross mcdowell puts on the park every week

07 Mar 2015 22:30:32
That is quite simply a ridiculous post, if he doesn't want it he can quit, can he not?

07 Mar 2015 23:01:21
agree Jack, McDowall`s that good at youth coaching, that rumour has it that the easdales are trying to headhunt him as chief coach driver, for their school runs.

07 Mar 2015 23:09:01
You must be joking, a new manager wouldn't want them 2 onions around! You must be on the tonic wine tonight if you want ally to stay as a coach he couldn't coach a team of 6 year old!

07 Mar 2015 23:09:15
Know it's probably not everyone's view but give it to terry butcher and see what happens. Contacts etc and he is a legend no worse than billy d and Stuart
McC . Not keen on billy d has baggage and poor man management skills. Terry b every day for me

07 Mar 2015 23:28:48
bit of common sense, when you can't afford a Rolls Royce, you get a Mini. Same here, you have the players you could afford at the time
Ability of these players has probably been coached / improved to their max.
You will only get better players when they can be afforded but don't forget your city rivals will respond accordingly

08 Mar 2015 07:52:07
@Scmck It was Butcher who put Hibs in the championship promotion race with us and you think his reward should be the Rangers job? If you can't handle the pressure at Hibs you haven't got a hope in hell of handling it at Rangers mate.

08 Mar 2015 07:57:15
We have to move now and get an interim manager in. I'd throw rose petals at Walter ' s feet. Remember how he turned us around after Paul Le Guen? Feel a bit for McDowell. The players are just not doing it. They need their arse kicked

07 Mar 2015 21:08:37
I have, in my various guises, been saying for a long time, that the footballing side was secondary to the in-house problems. We now have no excuse for distractions. Surely, with an opportunity for promotion and impressing any potential new manager, the players would be busting a gut to perform. There are no more excuses for inept performances. Just as well I don't travel to games. After the euphoria of yesterday, it is back to reality. It can't get any worse, can it?

07 Mar 2015 21:45:50
KeyserSoze
Totally agree mate, I've been saying this for months, performances and the ability of a professional footballer being able to play the sport they have been playing for years and being well paid for by the way cannot be blamed on the board. Apart from Cammy Bell there is not one single player I would keep that has been brought in by McCoist. Pride and a will to win should be enough as well as having the opportunity to play in one of the best stadiums in Britain with fantastic training facilities.

08 Mar 2015 09:41:53
Brummie
Couldn't agree more mate. The players should be ashamed of themselves. The off field stuff should have galvanised the team to bust a gut on the park. Agree about Hutton comments as well. He's a decent player, no more. He's far too slow to play at a higher level

07 Mar 2015 18:07:49
well as the saying goes if king and co were at central park the honeymoon is over

07 Mar 2015 18:22:13
We need a new boss before Tuesday mcdowell dosenae want ta be there, fae sake every time he speaks you can see he wants away, da us aw a favour and aff.

07 Mar 2015 21:27:17
Andy mcdwell is not a manager, the guy never wanted to be a manager, ffs its like asking a joiner to cover for the welder, a new manager is top priority, but I could maybe see walter smith getting involved until the season ends, I said on here after our first few games in the championship we would be lucky to make the play offs for premotion, and though I hope to feck ime wrong, we will definetly need to get somebody in to try helping km out untill the end of the season

08 Mar 2015 08:18:25
Spot on pal my wee brother said the same before we even kicked a baw, l told him ta stop talking keek but what da l nae, wan thing fae sure is these players dant give a monkeys aboot rangers.and that is the bottom line, makes me very angry ta think these players are gaing payed fae the keek they are serving up.

07 Mar 2015 16:50:20
Think it's time to replace McDowell he really hasn't had the heart for the job from the start and the players are obviously following his lead, if we are not going up as it looks to be the case then I would put durie in charge and bring in the best of the youths to get them experience for next season and totally drop all the players out of contract it may sound extreme but what is the point in playing them when they aren't going to be here long term

07 Mar 2015 18:00:24
Bt 61 this is the road we should have went down from division 4, or at the latest when mccoist got put on gardining duty, dukebox knows the youngsters,

07 Mar 2015 16:45:05
On a slightly different tack listening to Sportscence with Cosgrove etc. Quite saddened these men of the people still can't stop their Anti-Gers digs. Astonished SC, when talking about our new Acting Chairman mentioned building bridges, he immediately jumped on the Rangers sack cloths and ashes stuff. Rangers have been ripped apart by spivs, banks, football authorities and fellow clubs and. still CS is looking for Rangers to apologise. I suppose it will always be " no one likes us and we don't care". Only in Scotland.

07 Mar 2015 16:56:18
use the OFF button when appropriate - they are trash not worth listening to anyway so don't waste you time with them,

07 Mar 2015 16:57:33
I think that's exactly his point. You are still blaming everybody else for what happened when in fact everything that happened was the fault of Rangers and Rangers alone.

It might have been nice if something about the creditors had been said at the presser yesterday. That might have gone some way to mending bridges.

07 Mar 2015 17:12:09
Abhabh any problems we have had were down to craig whyte so maybe you should direct your problem at him not the supporter

07 Mar 2015 17:36:49
Edward123. I think you need to read the original post and then my response. I'm not sure you're getting the point.

Also the problems started long before Craig Whyte appeared.

07 Mar 2015 18:03:19
Abhaba our problens before whyte were under control .

07 Mar 2015 18:21:45
Why would you even care what Cosgrove thinks of us. His opinion is irrelevant and he is nothing more than a joke figure. Actually laugh when he tries to come across as some footballing expert. Judging by his appearance he has never played football in this life and can't run the length of himself

07 Mar 2015 18:32:30
Its a BBC thing Richard Gordon n Tom English done nothing but try to pick holes in Paul Murray interview and Dave King, nothing positive n these clown have been dining out on our troubles for nearly 4 years, is that not enough for them? No they still fancy a few kicks. I'd treat them with contempt when we get back to the top.

07 Mar 2015 20:18:53
Edward123. Utter nonsense. If everything was under control why did Murray sell the club to Whyte for £1?

07 Mar 2015 23:23:06
Abhabh ask the bank.they would let you know if they were honest enough.

08 Mar 2015 00:06:24
I don't need to ask the bank edward123. The answer is public knowledge. SDM could not afford to pay the bank debts, Whyte bought the club and the debt for £1, Rangers failed to qualify for the group stages of the champs league and subsequently the Europa league depriving the club of much needed income which lead to administration and ultimately liquidation.

Of course this is a very high level view of things, but I think it fits with the original post and who is to blame for the whole fiasco.

08 Mar 2015 00:51:07
Abhabh craig whte got the club for a pound on the condition he paid the 18 million debt to the bank, so though he got the club for a nicker, it cost him 18 million pound and one pence, but we won't split hairs over a paltry 18 million .

{Ed001's Note - actually that is splitting hairs, because it was only that he took over the debt, not that he paid it back personally. The club would have been surety and so responsible for paying the debt in actuality, not him.}

08 Mar 2015 10:23:31
Edward please read my post again. I said he bought the club and debts for £1.

08 Mar 2015 16:35:04
Ed in resonce to my post, yes the club would have been responsible for paying it back, but my reply was more to the point we had the debt under control, and the debt was going down, and not up, thus david murray only sold due to presure from the bank, the banks demands were in fear of us loosing the big tax case, a case that found in our favour twice.

{Ed001's Note - but your comment never said anything of the sort and was completely factually incorrect. Why try and argue the point? You were wrong move on.}

08 Mar 2015 17:39:51
Ed we will just have to agree to disagree on this one mate, if is the smallest word in the dictionary with the biggest meaning, if the bank, if david murray if craig whyte if charlieboy if ashley, if hmrc had announced the outcome of the case quicker if if if if .

{Ed001's Note - disagree? Give it a rest and be a man, you were wrong, you said he paid £18m and £1 for Rangers, he didn't. Just grow up and admit your error like an adult. Can't be doing with people who haven't the sense to see when they got it wrong! You were wrong end of story. There is no if, other than if only you were a grown up you would admit your mistake instead of trying to cover it up.}

08 Mar 2015 20:12:11
,, so my logic is it was part of the contract between dm and cw, thus craig shyte paid the money to bsnk.say to me give it a rest, have you seen the contract between david murrsy and craig ehyte, no, meither hsve i, but if the 18 million never needed to be paid back pront then whyte would not have psid it back pront I know he used the money from tickitus as the club never had the money to pay it, plus tickitux loaned whyte the money, not the club, thsts why tickitus hsve had him in a courtroom and not the club, so though we will need to wait until the court case to find out the truth, if whyte had not paid it back he would not hsve got near our club

{Ed001's Note - this is just gibberish, stop wittering on. Just accept you were wrong for heaven's sake. You should be used to it by now. Your logic is non-existent.}

07 Mar 2015 15:39:24
Morning troops well what a glorious morning it is the showdown at midday (well 11am ) was like a scene from a movie when the crooks get run out of town by the lone gunman I even have the theme of a fistful of dollars running through my head 😊 I'm sure we all raised a few too many 🍻🍻 to the people who made all this possible I can honestly say I haven't had such a good feelng about our future since Walter returned in 2007 .watch out scottish football the odds on the worlds most successful football team just went up!

Right hair of the dog I reckon or maybe just keep drinking 😝

07 Mar 2015 14:10:05
Hi fellow bears was over a ibrox ticket office today to renew season tickets. Was good to see happy gers faces again even in the wet weather. Stood in queue for over an hour and was glad to see so many bears over getting tickets. Now is time to support club financially to get us back were we belong at top of scottish football. The gut behind desk told me fans have been coming back steadily all week and in my view let's show scottish football what they've been missing.

Good luck today and look forward to seeing ibrox full again on Tuesday against QOS

07 Mar 2015 12:46:04
just one thing before it all becomes history the easdales I reckon were sold a pup and as was shown they gave there renumeration back and never voted against the resolutions they have at least came out the whole thing with a bit of dignity and I reckon they have been shown to be villains by everyone but now I reckon ashley and co have held a gun to there head with finance

07 Mar 2015 13:02:19
Wull what about the other times they used their votes and proxy to vote against the last requisitioners and voting various funding offers from King, TPL, Brian Kennedy and Server? They only abstained because they knew they were done anyway n thought they might get people to think exactly what you are by doing so.

07 Mar 2015 13:40:08
One way or another they finally did the right thing, just maybe they believed deep down that king was best for Rangers, or that awipe was a dangerous man for Rangers, who knows, but their decision helped enormously, I think DK knew it was coming?

07 Mar 2015 15:52:19
rm gers at that stage they probably thought they could do a job and were hardly likely to give up then I still think green trussed them up and at the end of the day they done everyone a huge favour by not voting they wanted to do a deal for 2 directors ashleys men and somers put the kybosh on it however they did the best for the club at the end of the day

07 Mar 2015 17:16:33
Rm yes I agree with you mate the sleasdales are spivs, well part time spivs, they are doing there apprenticship at this moment in time, they don't have enogh money to be fully paid up members of the secret spivs orginisation, thugh slowly but surely they are getting there.

07 Mar 2015 11:55:11
I really hope king can achieve all he is claiming, I think he can bring stability but we have a huge task ahead if us personally I still want promotion to Premier league we could do with the tv cash and old firm revenue it could only help our cause especially with the money we owe Ashley and the kit money he is stealing from us. We might not be first or second but as long as we're in there it will be a result until we can compete for the title.

07 Mar 2015 12:20:09
blackout exactly my sentiments promotion is not beyond us but we are going to need a manager anyway so why not sooner rather than later I have no doubt with someone decent at the helm we can gain promotion especially playing in front of capacity crowds in fact if king and co don't address managers position a s a p I would be very dissapointed because I feel it would show a lack of ambition or finance at this time and at the end of the day someone will need to sort out contracts of who stays who goes and who comes in

07 Mar 2015 13:43:22
I think you will see a massive change in Kenny from now, the guy has been under terrible stress, he is one of our own after all, he didn't ask to be put in this position, we do need a new man, but let's hope Kenny is a bit happier today

07 Mar 2015 17:41:49
Yep big change in kenny today! NOT!

07 Mar 2015 18:06:06
tommy 51 u were saying 5pm saturday noyhing has changed

07 Mar 2015 18:46:36
@hooly78, as Kenny and the players said after drawing with Falkirk, we look it as a point gained, the lot off them are raking it in, yet look like players who can't wait for the season to end so they get to f&&k out off it.

would`nt put my faith in these chancers putting up much of a fight in the play offs.

will be lying on a beach after first round off games, saga tours have some really good deals in may.

07 Mar 2015 19:10:03
I can understand poor kenny being stressed that 7 grand a week must be he'll to survive on!

07 Mar 2015 21:19:54
I didn't have the benefit of hindsight, he failed, but I still blame the chancers on the park,, McDowell was a very highly regarded coach, he didn't apply to be the manager, he won't be out of work long, that will prove how good he is at HIS job, those guys on the park know they are leaving

07 Mar 2015 22:30:54
tommy1-D King says he`s looking for a good coach, so would you recommend McDowall since he`s so highly regarded. get real if he`s that good surely he would try to implement/coach his own brand of football.

but what does he do, copies his big pal Ally`s long ball tactic.

McDowall`s not a good coach, just been fortunate, IMO he`s been found out, he`s clueless and will find it hard to find another top job in coaching, all because of his greed.

he should just have walked.

07 Mar 2015 22:48:24
Blubear its quite amazing to think the players at hearts are on a fraction of what our lot get, yet they always bust a gut for there cause, our players are just a shower of non tryers imo, lazy non tryers at that .

07 Mar 2015 10:06:52
I really hope to see Mr John Grieg at the next Rangers home game.

07 Mar 2015 11:08:15
Harry redknapp plus Gary Locke for me ( next season). Hoddle? seriously.

07 Mar 2015 11:49:35
When I saw harry redknapp resign last month I actually thought I actually thought dave king should bring him in when he gets control as Harry would easily take rangers back to the top of Scottish football. Whoever it is I'm sure king will not take it lightly.

{Ed001's Note - Redknapp would be very unlikely to manage in Scotland as he won't leave his home in Poole.}

07 Mar 2015 11:52:37
Harry Redknapp?not a chance plus we don't have the 150m he would want to spend.Davie Weir and Neil McCann would do me.

07 Mar 2015 13:44:46
Carry has virtually retired to the beach at Bournemouth, he won't move to Glasgow,

07 Mar 2015 10:01:30
Hoddle for coach. It's a stretch and most likely will never come about. You can stick Billy Davies up your.

07 Mar 2015 12:26:28
brothers keep the feet on the ground I have heard that darren ferguson has been mentioned also this came from america dave king is very friendly with kenny dalgleish and hhe will have big say on incoming players

07 Mar 2015 12:40:25
Bigwull why would kenny dalglish have a say on incoming players when he's not going to be our manager, darren ferguson no chance of being rangers manager, don't rate him and the ones you DON'T rate are streets ahead of darren ferguson as a manager mate!

07 Mar 2015 13:48:44
Wot about dalgliesh? Who knows?

07 Mar 2015 14:17:37
Dougie Freedman being batted about.

07 Mar 2015 14:57:58
Gdog10, where has dougie freedman's name being banded about mate?The only time I seen anything linking freedman to the rangers job was almost 2 weeks ago in the sun newspaper, that paper actually said freedman was being lined up by the board of directors that's just been ousted mate!

07 Mar 2015 15:49:55
Few posts on Facebook. I have a couple of mates who know some of the Rangers boys, Gough in particular. Freedman mentioned as well as McLeish coming back, in fact McLeish is Goughies choice. He told a couple of friends of mine that he was going to help fix Rangers problems. So I am expecting Gough will be involved in some way however big or however small.

07 Mar 2015 08:58:39
Well fellow bears another day in the life of Rangers? It will be tough and we will have a few shaky moments going forward but I think 86% of our fellow shareholders and probably 92% of ordinary fans will be delighted that Dave king, John Gilligan and Paul Murray and dougie park have returned to save our club, I think honesty and transparency will be the order of the day and there will be a lot to uncover, stability will be very important but we need to get harmony and stability on the park as well, we need these remaining players to get a grip for the remaining games as I am sure the fans will do there bit by attending in huge numbers, so let's see if any of them deserve To stay at our club? I personally think we will only be able to select about five or six From the present pool who might be saved.

We will need to get back supporting the club, but I would without a doubt still boycott anything from Spivs direct, Ashley has already shown his true colours with his actions and the behaviour of his two puppets lyinass and leech!

I hope Kingco keep the fans informed on who has been involved in "the great stadium robbery" and what action will be taken.

I would suspect he will have some cleansing to do once he get inside the club as he quite rightly said the stadium is an absolute shambles! Why has this been allowed to happen? They have a "facilities manager" (?) who is on £33K a year! And this guy is about as much use of a chocolate frog on a hot radiator, absolute waste of money with no knowledge of how to run a stadium, they have used contractors and sub contractors over the last 3 years but NO progress in the stadium? Which beg's the question what have these people being doing?

Still many issues that need to be addressed but hopefully with the new regime that will soon sort this mess out, hopefully they don't use the same people who have squandered the last 3 years budgets?

Otherwise let's get back and try and get the club back to the top where we belong.
