John, have you heard anything about raskin situation?
30 Aug 2025 12:54:00
Storm, if Martin not sacked tomorrow, Raskin will be gone.
Thelwell should step in.
30 Aug 2025 13:14:30
Whilst I am fine with Raskin going for a healthy profit - we have all said we need to do better at this type of business following the Kent and Morelos debacle - to go in this shoddy manner due to RM is rank rotten.
30 Aug 2025 13:15:09
John, i'd be stunned if Thelwell hasn't backed RM and his decision on Raskin.
30 Aug 2025 13:16:12
We have a Belgium International ( who was getting rave reviews ) being chased out the club by an imposter.
The team should have been built around him this season.
30 Aug 2025 13:20:07
Why is that John, what has been the cause of this fallout?
I think most fans wanted Nico as captain and a new deal, or sold anyway.
30 Aug 2025 13:28:17
Step in and do what John? Back raskin and sack Martin?
30 Aug 2025 13:36:28
John thelwell should be next out the door he brought Martin here and signed half these duds.
30 Aug 2025 13:39:44
Raskin obviously cannot work with RM. Bound to be a disruptive influence for RM. But I'd hate to lose Raskin then shortly after RM leaves. This team isn't trying a leg for RM, except maybe Barron and Cameron.
30 Aug 2025 13:39:55
Barron, the manager has told players he wants Raskin, Tav, Butland, Dessers, diomande out of club.
But Martin's attitude is allegedly incredible, I'm told, Tav, Butland, Dessers not siding with RM.
30 Aug 2025 13:44:42
Yep Thelwell needs binned and the club need a strong chairman.
30 Aug 2025 13:46:32
Not only is and has Martin chased and hounded players out the door for whatever his reasons, but he has lied about it in press conferences. He denies there is any rift with any players, which is clearly blatant and deliberate lies. Which in turn means fans cannot trust a word he says.
30 Aug 2025 13:47:27
Thelwell definitely needs to go. We can't have the person responsible for hiring Martin being part of the new manager search.
30 Aug 2025 14:00:14
Get rid of Thelwell and bring Davie Weir in.
30 Aug 2025 14:03:42
Rfc, would weir not need to want the job?
30 Aug 2025 14:13:41
Bring davie weir in. As if he will just leave his nice job at brighton.
30 Aug 2025 14:25:16
Davie Weir isn't binning off Brighton and just quitting for Rangers … you can't believe that ??♂️.
30 Aug 2025 14:29:30
Arthur numan would be my director of football.
30 Aug 2025 14:32:56
If this is indeed the case John and I for one don't doubt you, surely Russell Martin should have been relieved of his duties after Wednesday's debacle and before tomorrow's likely debacle.
Is there an argument to terminate his contract on grounds of negligence of duties towards the betterment of the club with regards the handling of players/ club assets.
I'd offer him a small pay off or see him in court.
30 Aug 2025 14:54:31
Martin and thelwell need to go cheers John for info. I didn't think Tav and Butland would side with RM I thought the reports were bs.
30 Aug 2025 14:58:34
Mph why don't you wait until we know the truth on Raskin before putting blame on RM. what if rsskin is causing bother behind the scenes or has been trying to manufacture a move away.
30 Aug 2025 15:06:17
Obviously RM wants yes men. I know there's a code of conduct for players but if it's the fact that Raskin has spoken out about his position or the style of play then so what?
You want your players to have a bit of backbone, and you can't blame anyone for speaking out a out the way we've been playing this season.
30 Aug 2025 15:09:48
So John the players rm wants rid of are not backing the manager because he does not like them as players due to his style or is it due to fall outs they want away and he wants rid.
30 Aug 2025 15:13:20
So John why would Tav, Butland and Dessers side with Martin if as you have said, he has told them too that he wants them out of the club?
30 Aug 2025 15:55:22
Rfc. I will write more on Monday after window shuts, but the initial major bust up relates to treatment of Nsiala, Tav Souttar, Butland and Raskin all backed Nsiala.
30 Aug 2025 15:57:30
Rangers royal, can u show me where they have sided with Martin? unfortunately they need to tow the party line.
Tell me where any of them has not backed the managers since they joined Rangers.
30 Aug 2025 16:02:02
Only a few recent signings are siding with RM. Only one way to fix this.
30 Aug 2025 16:45:02
Numan would be a shout. Even Gary numan would be better.
30 Aug 2025 17:11:25
John you said you were told Tav, Butland and Dessers not siding with Martin. My point to you as you've said that Martin has told them he wants them gone is why would they side with him if he has told them he wants them gone?
30 Aug 2025 16:08:00
As predicted with Thelwell waiting and not sacking martin everyone is seeing him as a target now too and deservidly so. i do think some of players that have not shown up well could do a lot better under a different manager.
But would we want Thelwell picking that manager? hell no.
30 Aug 2025 17:22:13
So john our squad have downed tools in support of a player Barry ferguson deemed not ready and PC before him only played him occasionally. The players need to do there jobs they're employed by Rangers not RM and frankly if they react like thst they'd be better out the door as well.
30 Aug 2025 19:04:59
Thelwell is part of the problem.
Stewart shouldn't escape very close scrutiny either.
