    Rangers FC Imploding (how close I wonder to collapse)

    The past couple weeks have seen my favorite Scottish club make headlines...just not for football (the football has been dreadful anyways).

    It all started with manager (and club legend) Ally McCoist announcing that he would resign at the end of the season, and the board decided to put him out on gardening leave and installed assistant manager Kenny McDowall as caretaker manager for the remainder of the season.

    There has been lots of issues brewing between the board of directors and the supporters the past two seasons. The top blew this past weekend after a match between Hearts and Rangers was abandoned after 25 minutes due to snow and sub zero temps.

    When the Celtic manager might just be the most popular inhabitant of the Ibrox directors’ box, it tells you everything about where Rangers are right now.


    It's telling when the manager of Celtic is at the game in the director's box and is probably the most popular man in that box.

    What has effectively united what had been a fractured Rangers support? The prospect of Mike Ashley (owner of Newcastle United) gaining security over Ibrox Stadium.

    After the fiasco that was this weekend, caretaker manager Kenny McDowall tendered his resignation after just one month on the job.

          It's amazing they can't get their **** together (again). That club should practically run itself successfully. Hearts are completely running that league (0 in the loss column so far), and it's great.

              I can't believe they turned down Robert Sarver's take over offer TWICE.

                  I see that they're finally playing Celtic again this weekend. I'm sure the Celtic supporters will be very respectful in their songs and chants.

                      I predict many yellow cards.

                          The return of the Old Firm....it's been too long.

                          Stranger things have happened in football...but I'm kinda tired of living vicariously through my FM Rangers side.

                              They really need to get back to the top flight. I don't see Hearts collapsing as much as they need to (though they did finally lose). They have a young, hungry team that grew up a whole lot last season playing in a hopeless campaign. So Rangers are probably going to have to deal with 2 playoff legs against Hibs, who have been playing very well recently. That will be make or break time. I don't think either team will have much trouble with 11th place in the Premiership.

                                      They're apparently trying to loan 5 ****ty bench fillers from Newcastle. Desperate.

                                                  I feel horrible for Kenny McDowall....actually not really. He doesn't give a crap. The board can't afford to pay him to leave....

                                                  I know Dave King is no saint, but I feel he actually has the club's best interests at heart, which is obvious by the actions of the current board they do not.

                                                  But hey, my FM Rangers side just won another league title and got out of Champions League group stage.

                                                      They lost to Hibs today. All hope is lost.

                                                          Triumphant Dave King takes to the steps of Ibrox and insists: We want more fans on board at Rangers

                                                          THE new Rangers Kingpin delivers his victory address and calls on more supporters to control the club.


                                                          The old board is gone, a new board is in.

                                                          Will be interesting to see what happens. Hopefully, they send Kenny McDowell home and get in a proper manager.
