MrPotatoHead has written an article entitled, Is questioning Rangers' manager justified?

Good article mph agree with what you said.

Good Article MPH
I think it’s the amount of false dawns that’s not getting to folk me included which could be contributed to worrying about how any money in summer will be spent and if it will be spent wisely enough to improve the team enough to actually go compete for the title from start to finish
we will never know of course until next season is well under way
I suppose the likes of ourselves should stop worrying about things out with our control and trust the board and the current manager to get it right hopefully this time around
I do think we need to stop rubber earring Scottish talent under our noses and have a blend of domestic and European players.

Nice article MPH. Sums up the season quite well. I guess the next question is.
Is the squad stronger or weaker than the squad that ended last season. Because that's not just on the manager, it is on the club. Have they got their business model up and running. We didn't meet our short term goals, how is the club doing on its long term goals.
Youth Development
Marketing
Senior Development - IE Transfer costs in vs Transfer profits out
Asset Improvements - Stadium etc
Debt Repayments - ie loan paybacks to chairmen etc.

You are spot on, Stig.
One false dawn too many and we all start to think 'will we ever get out this rut'.
It's like groundhog day on repeat and unfortunately as fans we get excited at the start of every season.

Spot on as well, Blue North.
I don't think we are stronger as we are continually fire fighting with disaster after disaster whether that's in recruitment of players or appointment of managers since Gerrard. The time to strengthen was after 55. We never quite managed it.
Every season we put our faith in the board, manager, players, director of football etc that they are going to get the basics correct.
Now like you say if they are going to continually squander the money to improve the squad then how does stadium expansion come about.
No point in having an increased capacity if the product on the park is horrendous and vice versa.

Great post MPH too much common sense in for the majority right enough, I don’t think it will catch on ?.
Mystar you agree with what mph said? About the players? The players only a few weeks ago said would win the league easy? ?.
13 May 2024 16:02:23
For me the proof will be how we start next season.
Beale actually improved us last season but his start to the current season was terrible and I don’t think we invested wisely in the new signings.
We need to invest in younger talented hungry players (both Scottish and abroad) .
Hopefully the combination of the new manager and new recruitment team will be successful!

Storm more drivel we should have won the league.
13 May 2024 16:28:10
But we never, My star, did we? The only drivel spouted came from your mouth, but still you won't admit it.

My Star, we shouldn't have won the league. The team performed well against the rest of the league bar Celtic since the departure of Beale. The recent losses come down one thing and that was the failure to beat them at Ibrox. It broke the belief within the team. That game was must win despite what everybody says more games, math etc. Celtic were under no pressure to perform all season. We had to be pretty much perfect up until that game and we were. Then we handed them a goal in less than one minute! That's when I personally felt it was over. It was an exciting game and happy for the draw but it was a miracle goal from Matondo that saved our blushes. The team had nothing left after that game and it has shown in the games since. it wasn't that we gave it away, we couldn't catch them and that was mainly due to only taking 1 point out of 12 against them.

Raisetheroofe we should have.
13 May 2024 17:38:49
But we blew it with results against Motherwell, Ross County, Dundee, i was wrong raisetheroofe, i just never seen that happening mate.
13 May 2024 18:14:28
Yes my star, it was you that said we would win the league easy. We didn’t win it at all that’s all that matters. You and your whoppers make me smile ?.
