Should we try this approach

Lets do what the Rangers fans have done:

There are plenty of similarities in the list of problems. They got media attention when someone unfurled a banner at a game in full view of the tv cameras.

 

WE DESERVE BETTER

yeh.. Rangers are protesting for "only" winning 2 cups in 3 seasons and "only" winning 2 league titles in 8 years, and "only" being 2nd in the Scottish premier.

The attitude of their fans makes me sick.... i tell you what, stick them in a relegation battle with the worst squad in their history then see whatt hey have to say... they aught to shut up and accept the succes they have.

tossers!

No JAS. That was the 1956/57 team.

• Failure to profit from our most lucrative ever season                                  
• No discernible strategic vision, either on or off the pitch                                 
• No long-term transfer or team-building plan
• Failure to engage with or interact with the support in any meaningful way           
• Treating fans with disdain as ''customers'' instead of valuing and working
  with them as ''supporters'' and part of the
  family                        
• Inability
  to either attract inward investment, or to convince fans to invest in
  any meaningful
  way                                                                                     

• Selling first team players to cover losses previously made on fringe players
• Consistent failure to move fringe players on for reasonable transfer fees
• Lucrative pay-offs for failed players                                                                 
• Only two youth players of genuine quality produced in the last decade (have we even produced 2?)
• A
  PR operation which only acts when senior club figures are personally
  criticised and all too often fails to defend the support
• A ''state of the art'' training facility, yet no advancements in technique or set plays
• Fan morale lower than at any time in the past 24 years

Throw in the loan player debacle, the history of poor managerial appointments and you might have a case.

Pub Football.

I''m surprised Gordon hasn''t memtioned it in the House and offered to bail them out (as with all things Scottish) and force Kaka, Messi and Rooney to sign for them.
