Warburton could turn out to be the greatest thing since sliced bread!

Nah, we'll have them on toast.

If they give him enough Dough, I'm sure he'll buy a team that'll rise to the occasion.

What's Homer Simpson got to do with it?

Sounds like he could be good appointment -

'Mark is not like that. He will do a studious, intelligent and steady job'- all qualities that will be of no assistance or help whatsoever to Warburton at 'Castle Greyskull' !

More on King's alleged wealth. ....this time from someone claiming to be a Rangers supporter.

One point raised. ....if there is a 6 or 7 pence dividend to creditors from the old company, DK will be due 1.2 to 1.4m. How he chooses to spend it is another matter.

Is that before or after tax?

That's a bit of weird logic :-)

McCall got more points if you don't count the bits where Fat Sally did better!

Yep not sure I understand the point being made.

McCall certainly improved their results against us but his record was still pretty poor. 7 wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats in his 17 games in charge.

The point is pretty clear. Means that Butcher was our best ever manager if you only count his wins

The point I was making was that they won 9 out of their first 12 league games up till and including the 8th November, when they beat Falkirk 4-0.

They only won 10 out of the remaining 24 league games, including the ones McCall won. McCall was an improvement points wise on the last few months of McCoist and McDowell, which was dire.

[Smartie]

At the start of the season McCoist was coming off the back of back-to-back championship wins and had had years to create a squad that was good enough to win the league, as well as resources.

I think he did ok at the start of the season because there was still a fear factor about Rangers. As soon as the other teams realised they were actually gash then they started to struggle big time. Their squad was big and old and slow, horribly imbalanced and he was way too loyal to people and stubborn in playing formations that had long since stopped being in any way effective. They were a mess towards the end of his reign and even worse by the time McDowell was finished with them.

I thought McCall did really well with them given what he inherited. They were on their knees yet he managed to sift through their crap, persist with the players that were just about worth persisting with, blooded a few youngsters and almost got them promoted. I think he got as much as was physically possible out of their squad from a horrendous starting position.

Personally I'm delighted McCall hasn't got the job. I thought he got the better of Stubbs in the games towards the end of the season. He made them much harder to beat and if they'd committed to him then he'd have more of an idea of how good the players they already have are, he'll know a bit about the opponents they face this season and will have an idea of what they need to add to their squad.

Warburton and Weir have a bit of the unknown about them but they are heading off from a standing start. If they get sufficient backing then of course they will be a danger to us this season. But we really have to spend most of our time worrying about our own games - if we "do a Hearts" and come out of the traps fast (and there is no reason why we shouldn't) then we should take a decent head start on them that may prove very hard for them to turn around.

Really good post, I agree with your train of thought but I do think Warburton will be a good appointment,I think he's the fresh face of the club they've needed for a long time, I also think he can make them a nore likable club, while their fans will still be the same old same old I feel he is a lot more genuine than the typical Rangers manager (Alex McLeish apart)

[Jim44]

According to a thread on FF, Warburton's first signing will be Clayton Donaldson.

I liked Donaldson when we had him, I think he suffered from Collins' poor signing policy (IIRC, Donaldson had been lined up by Mowbray). I've kept an eye out for him since he left us and he definitely seems to have improved.

Warburton signs then... I really should know better than to listen to the mental ramblings of obsessed soapdodgers who have been wrong about pretty much everything in this whole pantomime since day 1.

[Moulin Yarns]

There has been the usual media circus at Ibrox with the unveiling of Warburton and Weir, but what happened to the vote from the EGM on Friday. No mention, nothing, not a sausage!!

Did Mike Ashley just turn up and get his money back?

Where is the media in all this?
