Time for change posters on every seat today

I think the board were happy to make an easy £3m. I think the only similar scenario was a good fees earlier when we were going to play them in New York or Boston. There was no negative reaction that I can remember.

Rangers and Celtic always had a working relationship at board level in the past however given that they were instrumental in driving us down the divisions it can never be the same.

I’m not talking about past relationships though, I’m talking about the current board

They were happy playing second fiddle for £3m but won’t compromise for a European type allocation. It’s not hypocritical for fans to criticise the board for the Sydney fiasco and then criticise them for the current allocation issue - I’d say the opposite actually. As said, it’s ironic they’re happy playing second fiddle for £3m on Anges homecoming but won’t compromise like adults for the benefit of fans

Your post I replied to implied it’s a hypocritical standpoint to be criticising the board for the allocations if you were against Sydney. It’s far from hypocritical

How long would other appointments be given to overturn celtics dominance?

Until we can match them financially over a number of years, then we are unlikely to beat them to trophies consistently.

Catch 22. We need to invest to win the league, to get to the CL and the money it entails. Also, fairly confident that if that happened the paedophiles wouldn't negotiate qualifiers. You can then reinvest and the cycle carries on.

And there we have it, we should just roll over and accept second place?

We had a smaller budget than Celtic in Walters second spell and won 3 leagues. I can’t believe any rangers fan would accept second place

I seriously don’t know what the protestors want to happen. Stewart Robertson in his role is an administrator/accountant type of person. The finances are in order , probably the best they have been for 20 years.

If successful and he is removed he will be replaced by someone of a similar ilk. He isn’t going to change the way we play, isn’t going to make us more money and isn’t going to give the support a standing section.

Ross Wilson is different many blame him for squandering our limited transfer budget. If this is factually correct would the main board not be first to remove him. It is them after all that continues to juggle the finances to keep us competitive.

Let’s agree to disagree for the same of both our Saturday nights. We both are coming at from different viewpoints and I don’t think either of us will move much.

He should be held partly to blame, but the manager sanctions the signings.

Robertson I think is always going to be compared to Lawwell in some respects.

Lawwell is always on the front foot with the media and football authorities in Scotland and because of that they rarely get the short end of the straw from either.

Robertson should really be the public face of the club and be front and centre when defending the fans, players and club but is nowhere to be seen most times.

That clip above is probably the most aminated we've seen him since he joined Rangers and only cause it's him personally on the end of some stick.

Sure most will know he hasn’t a clue it’s there found it funny but I was right up the back relaxing today bliss nobody asking or telling me it’s there seat for a change lol

The problem we face is that we spend money but the vast majority of it is spent horrendously and we barely recoup any of it. Replace Wilson with someone who has a better eye for a player and it wouldn't take as long as it will with him in charge

You are correct.

Robertson has spent a significant amount of money taking us from 55 to mediocrity.
He is still spending a considerable sum keeping us there.

In terms of financial performance, the executive board has produced miracles in a relatively short timescale.

Robertson, supported by Wilson, has under delivered in so many key operational areas over the past 2 seasons.

The club has appointed a very well respected and brilliant young coach with minimal management experience. I think he is a great appointment.
The corporate board now needs to ensure he is backed fully and it’s never just about money.

Personally I’d like to see DP appoint a specialist CEO to run the club. Priority task is to work on restructuring the football operation, get the right staff in place at all levels for the start of a major transitional phase this summer.

So do we just accept second place

We have more fans than them. We need to utilise that.

Assuming we sort out the terrible recruitment, and eventually match the sponsorship monies they get, our only way of catching them financially is a sugar daddy, expanding the stadium or charging more for season tickets. We need one of these soon.

Remember the debenture schemes that helped build the club deck? Remember Ready for the future for the corners. We will need to go to the well again or forever depend on them slipping up or hoping it does go in cycles.

Pretty pathetic. It’s not been a vintage season and the board have made errors but what a load of entitled nonsense.

We have a new manager who is keeping pace with the gallogate gallacticos and we still have a Scottish cup to retain

Too bad we did what we normally do and fucked it in the one game that mattered the most. But then if people still haven’t learned that that’s what these players do they’ll clearly never learn.
 
Don't agree with it and didn't hold the poster up, just as plenty others didn't.

However, I've got mates who did agree with it and held up the posters and other mates who feel the same as me.

No big deal to me and everyone is entitled to their opinion.

It won't make a blind bit of difference anyway, imo.

Agreed mate. Robertson is paid extremely well, and for what we are receiving in return is not acceptable no matter what way you look at it.

I know emotions are high but it’s a laugh, there’s no way he’d get sacked for that

Different if he was holding it and joining in chants. It’s clear a sign was held infront of him without him knowing it would be there

Only takes seconds for someone to shout him and then someone firing it infront of him

Not the best post in my opinion.
Club will be on his case now.
He sorted an important issue for me this season.
But idiotic tweets like that will not do him any favours.

Club won’t mate, one look at that and you can tell he’s no clue
 
After all the comments on here we have youngsters that can’t or won’t to see the bigger picture. We’re screwed for prize money from Europe due to our Put Down by Scum Clubs that the UBs Still take away tickets for the same clubs that wanted us deeeid! Maybe if they put the same effort into starving those barristers! Out of existence by refusing away tickets they would do some good.

Mate, all me my mates, the UB and many others want to do is support Rangers at every game. We care more about supporting the club than starving other clubs of money.

I don't really think it's the investors they're hunting mate, majority I've seen are for the replacements of Robertson and Wilson, both of which invest no money in the club and take home extremely healthy salaries

Loving Rangers more than you hate other clubs is how I’d put it. A sensible way to look at things. Plus our support is so large if we don’t go there’s another ten behind us looking for our tickets.

I’ve been a big fan of what they’ve done in recent years, but I’m with you.

They are NOT helping our club with this.

Hope they let us all know who has £50
million plus to come in to replace the current board.

In what universe does it cost £50m to replace Robertson and Wilson? Which is what they're campaigning for?

Slightly different scenario mate.

If the board think Wilson and Robertson are doing a good job (and they'll know better than anyone on here how they're performing), then no chance they'll be sacked, irrespective of demonstrations.

Cancelling Sydney had virtually the whole Rangers support behind the decision and rightly so.
Getting rid of Robertson and particularly Wilson, has the supporters I know well split.

It will take £50m to firstly buy another’s directors shares to establish control, and then to actually make a material difference to the squad.

If it’s Robertson & Wilson they want out, and nothing more, then it won’t be done with the current board supporting them.
 
Not sure how i feel about the protest. Fully support the right to do it but I completely disagree with the comparison to getting rid of the spivs. This board have ploughed in millions of their own money and brought us back to where we are. That cant be compared to the easdales etc.

As for robertson and wilson, i think there is a legitimate case that both should go and aren’t performing to the level we require them to. However, Robertson is now presiding over a Rangers that are becoming self sufficient and that will be huge for the board. As for Wilson, his track record has almost too many diddies to count. However, re-signing goldson, getting Lawrence, cantwell, raskin, tillman etc is very good work from him in the recent history.

Its neither of their fault that we lost to Celtic in the LCF or that we lost the league last year. They should have sacked Gio earlier this year though.

I agree we should evaluate their positions but this is a daft take make. Mediocrity? Since 55 we have come with a PK away from a European trophy that no Scottish team has any right to be near and won the Scottish cup. We are losing this league partly because they didn’t bin gio but also because we have never had a season like this with injuries. Add that to the fact Celtic are on course to break a points record. I fully expect beale to win the league next season and for us to win the SC Semi. Calling the last couple of years mediocrity is harsh and untrue.

Excellent point. Folk comparing this to outing the spivs as well. Mental.
