Butland potentially returning to Birmingham City.
Tavernier to Leicester.
28 Aug 2025 17:09:02
Sad times our club has been ruined from 3 clowns. How someone named Patrick Stewart ever got into ibrox is beyond me.
28 Aug 2025 17:18:10
I don't understand the Stewart reference. Not an Irish name if that's what it means.
28 Aug 2025 17:22:12
Not shocking in the slightest from what I've heard today.
28 Aug 2025 17:23:02
Now now no need to bring religion or nationality into it. He just is not very good.
28 Aug 2025 17:25:29
Asathor are you still seeing positives things from the owners mate? I'm seeing selling our best players and signing loans, we can't replace Butland with Meslier, the last thing I'm seeing is positives things now.
28 Aug 2025 17:26:51
How many players are fans expecting to leave?
Currently:
Tavernier
Butland
Raskin
Diomande
No time left in the window to get replacements.
Leaves NO assets for future windows!
28 Aug 2025 17:27:56
Ruined the feel good factor, they've never started of very well anyway, wrong men in a few positions from the kick off.
28 Aug 2025 17:32:18
Might explain the links to the Leeds goalie.
28 Aug 2025 17:34:57
"Patrick".
28 Aug 2025 17:37:14
Asa, yep, I've said Martin was ing to clear out.
28 Aug 2025 17:48:08
My star I am still seeing good things from a business point of view from the ownership family.
All the players that are being sold are players that people were wanting sold at the start of the window.
I have concerns about some of the transfers but that is the way with every team.
28 Aug 2025 17:48:26
Butland has been phenomsnal so far. Raskin snd diomande have been shafted by whstever the shape is he's trying to play in midfield. his tactics are awful, those 2 shoild be dictating our tempo ftom middle of park, not pushed wide.
28 Aug 2025 17:56:41
@ RFC18720
Get a grip and grow up.
28 Aug 2025 17:57:14
Asa would you say these are fairly down the line or just interest at the minute?
28 Aug 2025 17:58:17
Maybe our American friends will be happy with a top 6 finish this year if we're lucky.
Going with the rumours and noise we always thought there was a disruptive core in the squad but surely an experienced manager could have worked with them.
28 Aug 2025 18:12:45
The three stooges should be out asap. They'll run our club back into the ground.
28 Aug 2025 18:15:19
Butland to that Leeds goalie is honestly depressing man I can't take this rubbish any longer I am despondent with it all.
28 Aug 2025 18:18:44
Butland isn't going anywhere.
28 Aug 2025 18:21:12
So you mean the name Patrick from the latin Patricius which was given to members of the Roman aristocracy originally so means nobleman or of noble birth. that Patrick?
28 Aug 2025 18:21:32
Essentially looks like any 'previous' players are being replaced. Would have said bold idea were we to be dazzled with top door signings.
It now looks a little sad and desperate attempt to maintain control but if RM doesn't get results soon cannot see Stewart or thelwell saving his bacon (let alone their own)
28 Aug 2025 18:25:21
John that might be a possibility and if the rumours last year from Clement and Ferguson that players ruled the roost and wouldn't do what they were instructed it may be that the club's plan is to get rid of all those who caused those issues and start afresh.
so Martin's tactics may be pants but surely the club want players who follow instructions and do what they are told. if not by Martin but by the next manager as they didn't do it for the last 2 either.
28 Aug 2025 18:37:28
Butland tav and diomande all players people wanted rid of.
28 Aug 2025 18:37:39
John and Asa this has got to be a joke? We are in deep trouble if we shift this many players. ??.
28 Aug 2025 18:41:28
As i see it
American owners plans
Have to spend 20m contractual based on takeover
Did that but never told howuch to sell
Sell more than they buy toake profit
Get young players in so they don't need to buy more players in future and potential to sell high these loans are a stop gap to let marti. Develope our own players to sell isa owners will not care about results only profits omly ubtil fans start wwalki. g away and thier bottom line at threat will they act.
Next year will be even worse than this year
It looks as if biggest assets and biggest earners are being targeted asset stripping americans at thier best buckle up for a rough few years in my opinion.
28 Aug 2025 18:45:21
You may be correct on fans wanting some of these players moved on but I believe it could have been done better. Tav should have moved on 2 years ago but to treat him the way he has been treated lately is disrespectful.
28 Aug 2025 18:46:10
The American owners are asset stripping the club not investing at all . Butland, Raskin, Dessers all go along with Jefte and Igamane, millions coming in and we are signing loanees.
28 Aug 2025 18:47:52
Posters on this site have said many times to get rid of tavernier, butland, diomande, souter Dessers etc etc and if he doesn't sign. Ridvan too. Wanted yilmaz gone and Jefte too. Well you've got what you wish for. We're evolving. Takes time and pain. I feel the pain now!
28 Aug 2025 18:53:14
Ont thing selling players
But bringing in players with less quality less talent is another all these loans are not looking good
Possibly they knew this season was going to be a right off but just didn't want to telll the fans that.
28 Aug 2025 18:56:30
Here's the thing though, he's starting mainly his players, but had to bring Tav n et al on last night for damage limitation, so are the new guys not doing as instructed or we just going ignore that, as 5 of them were whipped off.
28 Aug 2025 19:01:01
I think he possibly means the Patrick who is a dyed in the wool Sheep supporter?? who has had a strong dislike for Rangers since his school days. Yes Patrick our employee who has a very big input as to what goes on with our club.
28 Aug 2025 19:02:50
So this is the same Butland that fans were saying was a liability and we should get rid. We now want to keep?
Talk about flip flopping. This is all we do.
Dessers misses a sitter - he's keech / scores next game he's brilliant.
Same as Tav - why is he still here - should have been punted 3 managers ago. Keep him brilliant servant.
Somewhere in the middle for me but I'd still be punting these 2 and others if we can get replacements etc.
How many times have these players let us down.
How many times have we heard Tav tell us the performance was unacceptable.
Yes this is a tough time but it doesn't change what we've been subjects to over last few years with exception of the occasional bright spot.
Time to move on even if it means tough times in the short term.
28 Aug 2025 19:11:31
Wsl we've spent 20 mill on transfers 23 inc miovski.
28 Aug 2025 19:30:12
Yes the main blame for this disaster is Martin, Thelwell and Stewart but our overlords need to be accountable as well.
28 Aug 2025 19:30:48
It's OK getting rid off the above mentioned players if they're bringing in better but the trash that's coming in to watch are playing worse than school kids and an arrogant arsehole of a pretentious manager.
28 Aug 2025 19:34:49
Did they not sell the high earners and biggest assets when they took control of Leeds? I don't have an issue with the likes of Tav being told to leave, should've happened a long time ago. There is something rotten in this group of players/ coaching set up/ wider club and it's been there for a while, a proper clear out was needed and from what has been said about the internal situation/ split the job could largely be done in one window. This can raise funds for future transfers and drastically reduce the wage bill.
Add to all of this the ego of RM and his frankly bizarre footballing philosophy, its complete chaos. I don't think anyone could have foreseen just how bad performances would be. Yes a draw here and loss there but we are not winning often and when we do it's hardly because of a great performance.
You would think with all the likely outgoings we should have 3 or 4 decent quality signings lined up to arrive before the window shuts. What quality player however is going to look at us right now and think that looks a great place to progress my career.
This could get a lot worse before it gets better (again) .
28 Aug 2025 19:34:57
The yanks have not been asset striping Hamza forced his move Raskin wants out he's asked for a transfer in real terms they have to restructure our wage bill we've had years of paying high wages with no real value for money.
28 Aug 2025 19:40:15
It's not about just 'getting rid' of players, it's upgrading them. Not waiting til the windows almost closed and having a fire sale of the only experienced players we have.
Meslier was a promising keeper but by all accounts he had a mare for Leeds his last run of games.
I see no upgrades at all, just mediocrity everywhere. This BS is depressing.
28 Aug 2025 19:49:41
I think the idea of wanting some out was to replace them with better not just to get rid for the sake of it and turn us into a league one project.
28 Aug 2025 19:51:45
Getting rid of these players would be fair enough if we had brought in a solid spine of a team to build round but not happened, to be honest to play this system you could hand pick players from the top teams in Europe and still struggle to do it right, this ain't going to end well with this man in charge, would advise the owners to get more security at main doors on Sunday as their will be thousands of unhappy bears at the doors.
28 Aug 2025 20:07:22
Fork I asked the same thing, he mentioned we lack harmony etc yet majority that started that game were his signings. So question being, are these players already causing rifts or just not buying into what was sold to them by an imposter?
28 Aug 2025 20:10:33
My name is Patrick and I've been to Ibrox hundreds of times so I don't quite get your point.
28 Aug 2025 20:28:41
Kevin, Patrick and Russell go now. Your time is up ?.
28 Aug 2025 20:32:31
Spot on bbj, not having this group getting it stinking when they haven't been playing and some are out the door. His players are starting so whose at fault.
28 Aug 2025 20:36:28
So we sell Igamane and sign Miovski I think that is an upgrade isn't it. it isn't too late to buy players to replace any we lose as the window is open to 1st.
Fork perhaps the disharmony is being caused by the factions of old and new players. something is definitely wrong though and whilst Martin may be one reason imo it definitely runs deeper than that. however it is just a rumour they are all going so will wait and see. if it is could Martin be the fall guy rather than just the bad guy.
re asset stripping then a bit odd. they put £100M in to buy shares. if we sell all our saleable assets that might come to around £30M so they lose £70M unless the new players start to play well and build up their value. these Americans would be the worst asset strippers I have ever come across or seen in my life.
28 Aug 2025 21:13:30
Angus I will ask you yet again. what exactly runs deeper? Last time you eluded to this issue and said it was a culture thing so what is it you know that we don't?
28 Aug 2025 21:14:39
Yeah Fork, I don't buy that excuse one bit as he is trying his hardest to move on almost anyone who was here before him but then moans about harmony when they're his signings. Absolutely baffling so it is.
28 Aug 2025 21:23:18
Well said Mystar.
Re Butland - he's been sensational so far this season. Double figures against Bruges if not for him.
28 Aug 2025 22:50:28
MVG - but he can't be relied upon. He play a few games followed by many poor ones.
1 leg vs Brugge he was culpable for 1st 2.
28 Aug 2025 22:51:12
Walterguitar that's unfair, many of us said those things when it was owners that would have invested it back into players and club not the Americans.
28 Aug 2025 22:51:36
Bbj I know nothing as I am not itk. however there is more to this reading between the line from comments out there. Clement and Ferguson said players refused to follow instructions.
McCann said players were mentally weak and didn't have Rangers DNA ( the ones we are complaining about rumoured to be sold) . Martin said a while ago about squad being vastly different by end of window.
Martin saying he is backed by owners which tells me he was brought in to get this whole thing done. so too many questions for me on what is being done and why. if there are these factions then does that explain the fact players aren't fighting for each other and not even doing the basics right.
you can blame Martins awful tactics for a lot but players not jumping to head the ball, not working hard. just too many things I can't see the logic in. I prefer not to do the I down want Martin and not think about the why's of lots of other stuff. you will not agree but we will see eventually I guess.
28 Aug 2025 22:57:59
Well said mystar lol
Marco you do realise mystar has total 180 on his position at start
I know be ause i was one of the few sayimg what wveryone else is saying now over past week or two.
