......are the bears now ready to accept that we are a total total shambles and a laughing stock right now.
We demand £10m for a player and then sell him for £5.5m.
I understand the club has massive financial difficulties - but its the fans that are being sold short here. We have shipped out half a dozen players in this window and brought in ONE. And what have the fans been told about it?
We get a pathetic defensive post defending the current squad because it has a lot of 'internationals' in it. Well Whytie if you think Broadfoot, Bedoya and Healy are the types of internationals Rangers fans are desperate to spend hundred of pounds on season tickets to watch you are sorely mistaken.
I posted this last week and there were a few staunch gers fans happy to turn a bit of a blind eye to our very public very amateur attempts at transfer dealings.

Still of the same opinion lads?
Now the window has shut

our net spend on transfer fees before we sold Jelavic was in the region of £2-£2.5m

I wouldnt expect many Gers fans would expect us to 'spend like we used to'. But at the same time I dont think many Gers fans would have expected us to fall so far so quickly.
The club has been left with only 1 fit striker at a time we are dropping behind celtic on a weekly basis.
It is suicide.
I am not a 'die hard' Rangers fan. I go to games as I have done since I was a kid. But I go because I enjoy it.
If it doesnt make me a true supporter then fair enough - but I can tell you I wont be in a hurry to pay £30 a game to watch dross like Edu and Healy playing every week.
There is an element of any football teams support who will go through thick and thin. Theres also an element who choose to go becuase they enjoy it and think its value for money entertainment. There is nothing wrong with that.
If it makes me any less of a 'fan' in some peoples eyes then thats fine by me. There plenty of other things in life I would rather succeed at than being a football fan.

I think the backing of Whyte by so many is a reflection of the Old Firm neurosis.
Celtic fans have dug around, found some nasties, shouted about it, and Rangers fans go into default opposition.
Rangers fans need to take action against him. He is looking increasingly like the Venture Capitalist every day. Total spiv.
Tell me berz. How many of you remember seeing him at Ibrox over the past ten, twenty years? In the stands, in the lounges?
He's came from nowhere.

I wonder what Ally McCoist's next statement will be. It must be getting to the stage that he is damaging himself by helping to prop up Whyte.

Yes of course, because Abramovich is a wholeheartedly sound bloke and not at all a shady Russian. I mean, have you even read his wikipedia? Not the font of all truth but seriously!
By comparison, Whyte is a saint!

Paisley,
Abramovic is a crook in the same way all those oligarchs are. They were in the right place at the right time.
Thing is. We know where he has gotten his money from.
We don't with Whyte. Even stanch Rangers men are now saying the same thing Celtic fans have been saying from the start.
