Rangers resignations?

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

He was clearly never a Ger as he has done walking away.

As a supporter of one of the Gers fans diddy clubs I'm afraid schadenfreude is my over-riding emotion. Doubt Sellick will be challenged by The Rangers for 10 yrs - what with The Rangers running the £10m deficit mentioned and Sellick reporting a profit of just under £20m and on course to bring in £30m+ for Dembele plus 10s of millions each season for Champions League. Meanwhile we diddy clubs will just keep plugging away look for a top 6 place and a cup final every so often whilst remaining financially sound.

The fan ownership thing seems to be working well though.
The Foundation for Hearts have just contributed another £1m towards the new stand.....that's over £4m in three years directly from the fans.
Hibs seem to be going down the same route as Hearts and Motherwell.
These clubs will never be able to compete with celtic.
Rangers will take years to become a force again, if they can stay afloat by controlling their spending.

Watching the game yesterday I guessed Hearts are in the process of replacing their old main stand - with a main truss running the length of the stand looking all on it's lonesome at the moment.

Fortunately I missed the game. I gather it was awful.

Yes...rebuilding old main stand to take capacity up to 20,000+
They have been at capacity for the last few years with a strong season ticket and corporate demand.

Looks like going bust was the best thing that happened to them.

Hibs also getting strong support in the Championship and a new Edinburgh City team in the league. The capital's fitba future is looking rosie.

And here's Mrs Hogie telling me at the weekend that she doesn't want to move to Glasgow - but wants to move to Edinburgh - New Town, West End or The Meadows or maybe Leith area. Maybe I'll find myself watching Hearts of a winters day - more likely to watch Edinburgh - or head up to Perth.

Always a great atmosphere at Tynecastle, glad they stayed at Gorgie.

You will need more bawbees in Edinburgh, especially New Town/Meadows.
Leith is nice [in parts] and grotty [in other parts]. The sun shines there quite a bit.

Alan Pardew in the frame for the managers job.
Good match.........he would do a decent job

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Ha ha ha ha. He could cause riots up there.

Alan Pardew in the frame for the managers job.
Good match.........he would do a decent job

In fairness with the budget and players any halfway competent manager could do a "decent job".

Problem is Rangers expectations (and that of the fans) are a lot higher than decent........ Bit of a shame for the fans (although hurts me to say it ), everything they do is a shambles over the past couple of years

Rangers couldn't afford Alan Pardew, he would command £2m a year easily before his staff salaries.

Budget..yes.........players not so sure.
For a small proportion of Rangers budget Hearts, in recent years, have bought and sold a much better bunch of players.
Rangers would do well to copy their model.

I'm a 40 year Jambo fan but even I think we should be a little bit reserved and humble when holding up 'our model' as an example (that we've been using for nearly a whole 3 years)
After all we only have the current model because of a huge financial failure trying to follow the Rangers model of throwing money around

Things are certainly on the up in the very recent past but lets face it they could hardly have gone down much more

Very true, I should have said 'recent model'.
Getting a bit ahead of myself.

I do like your little date jibe, very good

Jamie Walkers old man works with my son and he is very prone to the 5.1 in whichever scenario he can find, like a 5 mph sign with him standing beside it with his index finger up :rofl:

Well it is worth mentioning now & again

Hennie Otto knows it too:

And I read of Rangers fans furious that their team cannot beat the likes of Inverness Cally Thistle and St Johnstone...well these two teams are not that bad these days - just that many Gers fans can't hack it.

So now we hear them saying that the team and club today is not Rangers - it is not the Rangers of Struth, Waddell, Baxter and Young - it is a different club. Which is rather what the rest of Scottish football have been pointing out since Rangers were liquidated in 2012.

What is quite nice is that, given the coming fixtures, some Rangers fans are expecting Rangers to be overtaken in the league in a few weeks time by St Johnstone

I very much doubt a diddy team will overtake Rangers, altho they are at serious risk of finishing as low as 4th as they continue to slip further behind Aberdeen and Hearts continue to close the gap.

I suspect that you may well be right - but some Rangers fans are certainly considering such an Armageddon scenario

I doubt it, no matter what newspaper you read it in. And I use the word "news" without prejudice when describing newspapers...

I was reading such statements on The Bears Den. That forum is always good value.
