Was speaking to a fellow fan today. He said he heard from someone manager is agreed behind the scenes already but didn't have a name. Also said he had heard as many as 12 new players will come in one for each position with some of the players we have atm making up the squad after basicly everyone is put up for sale out with raskin iga and unfortunately tav. Probably just chat he's had and not any inside info this time of year we all hear all sorts tbh.
16 May 2025 16:49:16
We need 12 players tbh. Cerny, Kasanwirjo, Fernandes all expected to go back to their parent clubs. Dowell and Davies expected to go permanently. Lawrence, Balogun, Hagi all out of contract. That's 8 already.
16 May 2025 17:11:03
Think he's been reading this page mate. Also think 12 players in pretty unrealistic.
16 May 2025 17:14:54
I do think we need to knock this takeover on the head and decide not to go ahead with it. If these guys can't keep their mouths shut and stop blabbing the manager news and who we are going to keep and get rid off with players then we surely don't want to be owned by such an unprofessional outfit.
or is it just me who would think that way; or are they telling no-one and they are just the owners we need. I will let people decide their own stance.
16 May 2025 17:19:50
Very obvious Tav will see out his contract deservedly so. Have your opinion on him all you want but for the dross he's had alongside him for all those years it's the least he deserves.
Not his fault the club have failed to provide him of any challenge for his position.
16 May 2025 17:20:51
Aye makes sense from what I've seen on here, pretty sure I read that 12 players were apparently going out. Exciting times ahead.
16 May 2025 17:55:58
Its what i heard angus so i posted it i don't read this page and think ohh my god the board have been speaking ohh my god melt down time.
16 May 2025 17:59:16
Not really paul i'm sure i seen someone on here say we had offered multiple ooc players a deal say we get 4 ooc players signing 8 doesn't seem to crazy to me.
16 May 2025 18:04:23
This was stated in this page yesterday was it not?
16 May 2025 18:24:45
Must be a fellow fan who reads this that also lives in the lake district then storm.
16 May 2025 18:26:44
It's not going to be a case of one in one out - our squad is in need of reducing.
So if we sell the likes of Dowell (likely), Cifu (potentially), Davies (potentially) and Matondo (unlikely) then we wouldn't look to replace them.
16 May 2025 18:46:43
Muscatin I didn't say you did. However it appears that people believe whatever is written and wherever it is written. I am writing my opinion that I don't think we should do business with a group who tell our secrets to every Tom, Dick and Harry. That is allowable I reckon. but I think it more likely that every T, D and H haven't been told. I will leave it up to individuals to decide but I will continue with my right to free speech on the forum.
16 May 2025 18:50:24
Agreed Tav should leave when his contact expires with a testimonial. Loyal, hard working pro on and off the pitch. Never hides and is always available. Has captianed the team through thick and thin, various manangers, Promoption to the SPL, stopped the 10, EL final, SC LC and outragous goal return. If he was in one of our better teams in years gone by he would have the honours in numbers, he is just unlucky like a few of our better palyers he came in when he did. One of the greatest attacking fullbacks the Scotalnd has ever seen.
16 May 2025 18:54:56
Ehl we must try and add guys who can step into the 1st team straight away yes we have a bloated squad but too many are not good enough.
16 May 2025 18:55:50
Tav is a record breaker, unlike most footballers.
16 May 2025 18:59:47
Aye that's a good solid plan Angus knock this takeover on the head and carry on in doldrums of second place.
As it stands right now we are a former big club with next to no assets worth selling player wise.
Do we carry on with same players yoyo through mangers in the hope we might get lucky.
Or do we get the takeover complete and get our club back on solid ground and build us back up to what we once were.
Maybe you are happy with second place and the odd little run in Europe but I'm not.
I want us back to winning titles.
16 May 2025 19:16:32
Is 12 out? Also including some of the young lads who wont/ haven't made it?
If so that reduces the outgoings a bit.
16 May 2025 19:20:29
Was the fellow fan ibrox4me because he wrote this yesterday.
16 May 2025 19:47:05
No orange some random bloke in a town near my village he started talking to me because of my 01 Rangers top he hadnt seen since then ?.
16 May 2025 19:53:42
Alex that isn't what I said and if I have to explain it well. but here goes: the takeover is happening but the details of who the manager will be isn't being released by the club IMO. hope that is understandable to you. perhaps I need to avoid it being a little veiled in what I say as it may not be obvious to some what I mean.
16 May 2025 20:30:12
Muscat I wasn't having a go mate incase you thought I was ?.
16 May 2025 20:31:33
Ehl it may need reduced but we 100% need be quality in the squad without a shadow of doubt.
16 May 2025 20:52:49
Not veiled?.
16 May 2025 22:12:41
Thanks Fork but it seems that some don't see that by saying what I do I am trying to make it seem obvious that the news getting out there isn't coming from the club. or are they releasing 4-5 different stories on who the manager is to throw people off. not likely IMO.
16 May 2025 23:19:57
Our squad needs reducing in size probably but needs increasing in quality and all you need to back that statement up is look at our bench all year and how poor it's been.
16 May 2025 23:24:58
If it comes from the club or not angus people will always debate its what makes this site good to be part of.
17 May 2025 08:02:13
Muscatin I don't have a problem with that. I just feel the need to add to that debate by reminding them the chances of to being true are slim. people seem to have a problem with that but are happy to accept rumours from every JCB salesman in Scotland as the truth. odd to me that is.
17 May 2025 08:36:56
I did say it was probably just some chat and not any inside info so if people believe it as fact that's down to them lol its only ever fact when there getting the photo shoots done.
17 May 2025 08:58:49
Ehl i agree squad doesn't need that many
Just needs players who remain fit
Thinking lawrence sterling should ve goung too but will prob stay
If we then get any injuries we should be looking to youth to fill in.
18 May 2025 08:57:00
Although i don't think 12 is that much of half of them are youth like nsiala type signings
Guys who could go
Cifuentes
Davies
Dowell
Cerny
Matondo
Bajrami
Propper
Lawrence
Hagi
Yilmaz?
Igamane?
Dessers?
Danilo?
Souttar?
Raskin?
If some the guys with? Go we could easily be having to recruit up to 12 but hopefully some will stay.
