Who is to be blamed for the mess at Rangers?

And how can it be fixed?

bigluckybob133w ago

What mess? We are doing ok and getting better game by game, you can see that a mile away. Keep the faith and support the team, they'll come good!

pranav.shahaney3w ago

The question was posed after Rangers got knocked out of two European competitions. Things seem to be a lot better now

Recruitment team

jjamieson19623w ago

Recruitment team should be shown the door long time ago we need fresh people in. Recruitment team across the road is 2nd to none.

pranav.shahaney3w ago

Dan Purdy stepping down is interesting. It’s the perfect time for the owners to overhaul the recruitment department

ajack12619633w ago

Totally agree

petelamo19574w ago

Thelwell jnr and Purdy

dakir.thanveer4w ago

I'd expect their peformances to be reviewed in the coming weeks

shawsy1690004w ago

Thelwell

pranav.shahaney4w ago

Big changes needed after the window. Many want him gone. Who replaces him?

dakir.thanveer4w ago

Wouldn't be surprised if their performances come under review at the end of the month or so

shawsy1690004w ago

The recruitment team

nayhair0074w ago

THE PLAYERS WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT, 4,5,6 MANAGERS CAN'T BE WRONG, NO MATTER HOW MANY DIFFERENT TACTICS THEY TRY, SADLY THE PLAYERS ARE JUST NOT UP TO IT, I'M NOT SAYING THAT ALL 50 1ST TEAM PLAYERS ARE RANK BUT THE 11 WHO ARE GIVEN THE HONOUR OF PULLING ON THE FAMOUS BLUE SHIRT, SHY AWAY FROM THE PRIDE, THEY NEED 11 WARRIORS ON THE PITCH

pranav.shahaney4w ago

The playing squad has changed so much over the last 12 months. Maybe it’s the managers and the recruitment setup that need to be questioned for the quality or lack of through the door

dakir.thanveer4w ago

I agree, there is a bit of complacency in some players. I'm hoping that is something McInnes can address. But for that he needs to take some pressure off his chest first

jjamieson19624w ago

Derek stating one more signing problay kelsey and thats it! Thought we would sign more bye bye trophies this season!

dakir.thanveer4w ago

Yeah! In the interview, even McInnes looks disappointed. Hopefully they pull a rabbit out of the hat before Friday

henderson365.884w ago

The players they just don't get it

dakir.thanveer4w ago

Any player who has particularly impressed you though?

a.c.s.fletcher16904w ago

Recruitment

dakir.thanveer4w ago

Recruitment has not been up to the mark, I agree. Started off well, but didn't address some key issues for far too long! Penrice is the biggest example. Should have done that long time ago, but they waited for Rommens to get injured

grahamlove614w ago

THELWELL,SOUNESS GOT IT SPOT ON WHEN HE SAID YOU NEED PEOPLE WHO HAVE PLAYED THE GAME TO HELP PICK PLAYERS,NOT THELWELL WHO GOT THE JOB BECAUSE OF HIS FATHER,I DON'T BLAME PEOPLE TURNING DOWN THE MANAGERS JOB

pranav.shahaney4w ago

Agreed. Can understand why Gerrard would not want to join this mess

marlinsteven19624w ago

Need points but mcinnes will have to wait until transfer window closes then have a meeting with his staff to decide his playing style going forward and get the players on board

pranav.shahaney4w ago

Shouldn’t that already have been decided, so the club can bring in players that fit his system?

marlinsteven19624w ago

Mcinnes never got a real pre season due to this management do not know if he is the answer but as I have said the club is overrun with management and coaching staff and Kavanagh is either too stubborn or to naive too see this maybe he shoukd sell up as he does not seem serious about this going by the way that he keeps ignoring feedback from the fans

pranav.shahaney4w ago

Yeah I do think joining when he did massively disadvantaged him. However, he did get enough time with his core squad in pre-season. Performances need to be improving periodically. September’s a big month

charleshunter084w ago

Recruitment team

pranav.shahaney4w ago

Any technical directors you’d like to see joining Rangers?

jammy1ne1mo ago

We did well today , far better Rangers teams have come up short at Pittodrie, credit when due , but when the subs came on I thought we were weaker . If we can keep getting even 1,-0 results maybe confidence will grow , a couple of good season pros please before thursday.

grahamlove614w ago

Need the centre of defence sorted and quickly

dakir.thanveer1mo ago

I agree! Much better performance! Just need to find that balance

georgeherriot111mo ago

Don't want Derek sacked, he is a real Rangers man and will definitely turn it round.

pranav.shahaney4w ago

Fans want the team to succeed no matter who the manager is. However, there comes a point you have to question if the manager is the right one to help you succeed. I’m not saying he should be sacked but he’s got a lot to do!

dakir.thanveer1mo ago

I backing him to turn things around, too!

markarmstrong20101mo ago

Should have got the players they wanted and stop messing about money on players ,should have had what we wanted so the players could bed in and play as a team

robertdelussey1mo ago

Totally agree let's hope its not to late we were a good few points behind last year and nearly pulled it off still time

pranav.shahaney1mo ago

Still 2-3 more players are expected to join before the window shuts. Who would you like them to be?

mckk107791mo ago

J

robertdelussey1mo ago

Recruitment team but I would say the players have to take more responsibility on the pitch simply not good enough from the majority of them.

pranav.shahaney1mo ago

I think a lot of the players don’t seem to know what is expected of them and this falls on the manager

brysonhunter791mo ago

RFC, listen to the support,who know more about football,by far, agents taken you to the cleaners again. You are being badly advised somewhere along the line.,name and shame them. We wouldn’t stand a chance in the English lower league very hard. pill to swallow and watch

pranav.shahaney1mo ago

Of all the signings made this summer, how many are you actually happy with?

marlinsteven19621mo ago

Recruitment team we needed proven first team players not potential or championship rejects like dan neil

dazclark7341mo ago

Exactly! Signing players who can't get into championship teams is one of the reasons why we're so bad

dazclark7341mo ago

Recruitment has been shocking hasn't it. Signing players who aren't getting into a championship team is one of the main reasons why we're so shite

colinhartley401mo ago

The owners are ultimately in charge so it's there fault 😔

pranav.shahaney4w ago

What should they do to better this situation?

darrenmedford19861mo ago

Its to soon to blame the manager. The owners are investing and those in charge of recruitment are awful get rid of theilwell bring in davie weir

pranav.shahaney1mo ago

Thelwell is clearly not qualified for this role. Rangers can surely bring in an upgrade

jah8012hunter1mo ago

The manager he has no system he can pick a starting 11 and the formation is all over the place we started strong but as he tinkered with players and formations you could see we got weaker and even the players don't know what there doing then we go one nil down take of a striker to bring on a defender he hasn't got a clue his mentality is not there

pranav.shahaney1mo ago

I must ask: What formation? He keeps changing things all the time and it’s just so confusing for the people watching. I believe players too mustn’t be exactly sure of what’s expected

samuelshirley2691mo ago

All of them

pranav.shahaney1mo ago

It’s hard to argue against this tbh

jammy1ne1mo ago

We can't sign players from the leagues we have been and expect anything . Fernandes , Peterbrough, gasamma , championship, dan Neil, championship , nadiri, German league 2 japaneese German league 2 , we should be signing established players from the top leagues,

dazclark7341mo ago

Exactly! Signing league one standard players an standard championship players ain't good enough! Players from the top leagues have to be signed.

ackie761mo ago

One quality player is worth a dozen second division wannabes

w22976341mo ago

The whole dam lot top too bottom wee sure can't play a defensive with what wee have

pranav.shahaney1mo ago

How would you change things?

ackie761mo ago

Most players are not McInnes players he must get time to get to know players and put his own team out naderi is a joke gasman is not rangers class asgaard is not interested enough Ferdinand bomb scare I could go on but think he should get more time

colinlawrie19871mo ago

The blame is fully on McInnes. You said Naderi is a joke who is it picking Naderi over Shankland and Miovski? Who is that's changing formation 5 times a game? Who is who has the side looking like a badly coached mess who have no idea what their actually supposed to be doing? Answer to all is McInnes

pranav.shahaney1mo ago

How can you say they're not McInnes' players? Two of them literally were with him at Hearts. Most signings are being made with him approving them

dancoombs1mo ago

I see a bunch of individuals and not a team on the pitch. I blame the manager and the recruitment staff for that

pranav.shahaney1mo ago

Both have been put in place by the ownership. They've made big changes last October and they may need to act quickly again or it's going to be another disastrous season

brysonhunter791mo ago

This is becoming a total shambles from top to bottom My opinion the owners and his Muppets get out ASAP treating the loyal fans like idiots. The SFA needs to look at the way Scottish clubs are run by we are in a mess and it's contagious. Buying for the sake of it never works,.also the bad press in USA Get these gangsters out before we go down again.

pranav.shahaney1mo ago

The owners are backing the manager. It's on him to get a tune out of these players, don't you think?

pranav.shahaney1mo ago

A lot of it needs to be attributed to the recruitment team. However, this team should not be made to look as bad as they are under McInnes
