[Music] Every week I see that until I cannot wait to get some of the prayers moved out of that intro. Hello, and welcome to the Garron Few Rangers podcast for them. They're watching live on YouTube, Facebook, and 12. You can see some of the guys are still there for last season. Give me a bit of PTSD. If you're listening to an audio, you have not enjoyed what I'm on about. But welcome nonetheless. My name is Colin, and I'm delighted to be joined this evening. First of all, the man in the continent, the foreign correspondent for the Garron Few, how are you doing, mate? Yeah, fine, great, great, Colin, looking forward to the show, looking forward to the football this week, two big ones. One for Holland, and one from Quasco, famous Quasco Rangers, of course, right Saturday, looking forward to that. I mean, you've been representing both sides here, and you've got your orange ranger star points, so you're really nailing your colors to the mass for this week. Well, I'd love to see you. I had a backup call and I didn't know what, but that can go away, you know. Jesus, my heart's sent every time you reach your prop. You never know what's right, how many live shows. Here to keep his in check, wasn't he be joined again from another porter from the Journal, but this time meeting his Garron Few, but debut, let's dig, how are you, my friend? I'm good, thanks. Not only my, Colin, few debut, but my guests for debut on any pod are so excited to be here and chat with you guys. Well, not a close-up you're asked too much because you became as a guest, but the the Journal is slowly but surely taking over the world, or some nice exciting things going over there. So just remember, as when you think you taught me, when you're there, get invited on the Skype, remember, you can want to go on for your first part. We are working after the Westnells, or Westnells, the Angel's Journal as well, but for anybody who's not seeing what's going on over there, gives a wee bit of and say what's happening and what you're looking for on the channel. Yeah, we've got a lot of exciting stuff coming up. Tomorrow night's pod is going to be talking a little bit about the squad, when it is, and whether people should be concerned about it. We've got our first, or I think it's our first viewer suggested topic on Wayne's Day as well, with a sort of little quick competition on my last pod. And the winner who actually I can see is in the comments tonight as well. One that, and so we're going to be talking a little bit about the tactics. Do we need more than one tactic and a little bit about old tactics and whether they still work? So we've got that coming up this week. Lovely stuff. So obviously, we're going in 4-1-1-12 and of course getting them on YouTube, the Angel's Journal, very good trends of the gallon view. Last and by no means the least, hello to all the Westnells. First of all, watching on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. And of course, everybody else was listening after the fact. If you can give us a like, a subscribe, a follow, wherever you're getting a podcast, those viewing maps that will help the channel. And of course, if you're really extra keen, you can join the YouTube members page or or Patreon for just a pound a month for extra content. So, Davy, the show's titled "Miloc Report." We're going to start the show on a high because finally, Hamza Igammani joins Rangers. Don't when they get back and say it's taken about five weeks. There are several things that would have been considered the oldest way. His work pair may be running them but I'm quite surprised to not only see that he's been announced by Rangers but also surprised, presently surprised. He wasn't announced in the Moroccan under 23 sword for the Olympics so that means he's only playing to the Netherlands. Hopefully, that's by way of pre-season under them. Davy, I don't think he'll make or break your season but hopefully he hits the ground running and can go into it. Well, I certainly do call him. I hope he's a he's a goalscoreer we're working for. I must admit, he's YouTube films. I don't know whether he is. It's a 25 goal striker we're working for. So, I really hope that we're going to bring in an experienced striker call and I think we need to. Especially if Mr Desser's is weaving so out of everybody's rumour that he's supposed to be going to power. But, no, I definitely think we need to bring in an experienced striker and who that is. I don't know, but still talk to the the guide of what's we're doing. We're in a new wining. We're going to see John wining there but that's a different person. Lane Vangels then talk to John Lennon. The guy from Aberdeen is hiding a lot of people's Westerns as well. But have a dinner probably going to screw up the money that they want for him. Rangers come from. That's a big... Samuel, we're going to get decent money for Desser so if that goes through, so maybe we can then afford a decent striker. I think we've got to put money into a striker call and I mean they just put in pennies. I don't think you're going to get a good striker. I don't think we're going to get any better than Desser for the for the for the whole money. So I think we've got most of the money we're going to spend into a striker. Doug, I think we've all seen the guys we graphics that is done on the John Lewis to our page and I thank you for your money. He's definitely, he's a lively striker there and he can play not only through the middle but he can play outside the ring as well which is good before about variety. I think that will help him as our young player coming in in bed and I do agree with David. He's not your main man. He's not your main number nine. I think we've brought him with the whole play that's more than it is. But I think we won't have been almost asked to possibly impact the player. Maybe somebody who will play against Dundee at home when we need to there. So I've got our players. Do you see anything different? No, I think that's really, you can you can excel. One of the big issues that we've had with the team over the last couple of years is our inability to actually use the entire squad to play us being predominantly injured in one way or another. And something I'm excited to see is to finally have a manager. He has an entire squad that you can use and the way he wants to use them and rest people when he wants to rest them, not because he's forced to and because they're they're not able to play. So I think he can be a player. You know, they can come in. He's an exciting young talent. 13 goal contributions and 20 appearances in Mountain League. So you know that's a really good base to be working from. He's got a couple of trophies under his belt as well. So you know, I think he's the right type of mold of player to bring in a decent age. And I mean, he's 21 years old, so he's young. But there's a trend going on. I think about players coming in. The team is younger now. You just need to look at the Euros. You know, Spain have got the Yumal who's like 16 years old. Turkey has a really young lad and their team who was one of the best players throughout the tournament. So there's all young players coming in and making names for themselves these days. And I'm really hopeful that he can he can be what one of them come in, like you see, maybe not start every every game, but you know, make a good impact. And same way, Doug. I think how much here I go, in commandant plays, really depends on who he's up against for that top sport. I've put a quick poll in the in the YouTube channel and you know, 40% of the Volos so far, thank you. We're challenging for the main sport. The Niro, for me, he was geared up to be the main man last season. And I really did like the work of him. It was on a very short sample, basically. I need to caveat that. But I do think we should be expecting a lot for the Niro this year. I do agree with David. We need some day we're sending to the police vessels, but I suppose my question to you is, is the Niro good enough to be one of our main cycles as Ijimane? Good enough to be one of our main cycles as well. Yeah, I mean, like I say, unfortunately, you know, we got a glimpse at the Niro, but not really enough to make a real definitive judgement. I think we saw good things. He didn't really get into a stride before his injury. So, he's in effect a new sign in coming in this fresh this year, ready to play. And, you know, I think we're in a good position in that we've got, you know, with two strikers we want to sail, and both of them, you know, deaths have had a relatively good season, and all things could set out. And obviously, lammers went off and did really well, and also, you know, the players we want to shift are in good positions to be shifted. And hopefully for a reasonable amount of money to let us go out in, and like David said, get a player in who we can sort of maybe bank a bit better, if it's going to be someone like Rachmani, for example, who is maybe a little bit more proven than the rest. But I think having multiple players there all fighting can only bring out the best in all of them. And so, we hopefully get the most out of all of them. And, you know, I don't really, I don't care which one is in front. Whatever one scores the goals can have the shot, so I'm happy to have a few players fighting. The only concern is that, you know, if we do shift both deaths and lammers, it's going to essentially be an entirely new frontline. And my one concern, when we talk with rebuilds and clean deaths completely, is the fact that we've gone quite good again, rid of players who've been getting those numbers, and not necessarily replacing them with players that replicate those numbers. Something like when we got rid of Colac and Sakala at the same time, we shifted almost 40 goal contributions in one goal. And we haven't quite replaced that. Seema did quite well, but not necessarily anyone else, alongside deaths are so, it's, it's, it's just getting those players that are going to get those numbers so that we can, you know, keep pushing forward and not constantly having this back and forth that we've had in the last couple of seasons. I think a big part of that is when a player is certainly doing it. You have player Y and the wines ready, come on, and, and replace something, take his chance when player is certainly doing it, or even if player is doing it, then he has to do it, or even if he has to do it, he has to have very high ability, or he has to be replaced. And David, like, you've seen many, many great other angel teams, and I have, but myself and Mason, we, we'll record in a special for the Patreon on the O2 O3 season where we had five or six strikers, all chipping them with at least nine goals each. I do think we need at least four strikers, and then around the first team. So that would be the new Ughamani, maybe some day else who's a realistic experienced first pick, and then maybe some day else in the mode of Ughamani, and a name that never really goes away, or it will never, the name won't be stopped in terms of the, to get many of the first team, Zach Lovelace. That doesn't even go away until either with player might move on. Do you see, do you see anybody, Lovelace or otherwise, being able to step up this year, to be a further fourth striker? Um, well, Lovelace would really look good until he injured against it, man. I think he was playing, oh, I think he was playing, I know he was playing more than the right that day, and he looked at it to be able to share it. So I think that's hope that he can come in, he can come in and do well. I don't know that I've seen anybody, this is one of the young boy, about 15, I have 16, I can't remember his name, but the young boy coming through, he was supposed to be really good. I don't see him getting into the first team yet, so I don't really know if there's anything going on, if they're coming through, call on that we can, we can, or I see McKinnon scored for, but that's my more midfield, of course, for the against Hamilton at the weekend, McCause when they believe as well scored. So yeah, I think that's one thing if McCause when he's going to stay, I think he needs to add goals to his game as well, and that's, that's one thing that we've been able to do the quiz out here, got to add goals to the game, call on, and who knows, the mate is still with us, so we don't know what's going to happen with him, he's similar scored as well at the weekend, he seems to have a magic life at range as he seems to be going and then going and but not going, but I don't see, I think we've got to bring somebody in, I don't see anybody coming through yet, that can do, I mean, the way that we think is coming through again not striker as Woudre every year we keep thinking he is going to be coming through but he's not even training with the first team now so I would imagine he should either step up to the first team or go out and sell. I don't see it right now he's getting past being of the in the age group the the the the the team or the youth are and he's not that anymore so I think I think we should dash in on him or or poom if he's good enough it does take me a nice way already the nice point I was going to talk about that was a career but before I do um obviously I gave a report for the patreon and the youtube members page at the beginning and it's always really appreciated when not only the people tuning in and watch you know me talk a lot you know and since we're my pals um but also when they they'll put them on you know for games support the podcast and kind of gave one of their long-term members and he's just definitely 10 um ground few memberships for the youtube so what that means is 10 random or chaos knows on youtube will get a first-man free on kami so that's really nice you kami um really really appreciate that so thank you my friend and incidentally he has one of the more details on the chat so make sure you find him or he will put you um but what Jane Kane gesture um dog we David mentioned there about Alex well if for example I play him or from the granny put him but I do think um we have better problems on the always bell than Alex well they step up scotry um and I don't want us to be a strawberry fashion session but we know long-term is no they aren't sorry what we need but I don't know it's just kind of when we've not had any any announcements other than uh ever contact whales moving on seeing his name pop up where I go against Hamilton and about his gym it's just like oh dear we've got another season of scotry many I've done with but um people to especially who go on the plane and who doesn't go on the plane to the Netherlands unless you without airport you're no granny no and I think I don't think we can look too much on that I do think players who will move on in the in the summer would have traveled as well because we need to keep these players training in the meantime but um we spoke last week uh I think it was actually first this was myself and then David and I was saying to Andy I'm getting a little bit nervous no way the lack of whales were going in and just with the same old faces turning up in these rangers to it on there what was do you ever say nervousness or do you think it's still where it is yet I'm I'm of the um opinion that still earlier I'm not too worried I get um simply because of the the euros and that's that that delays the transfer moving to the top of the table um and you know once the top of the table starts shifting and buying players from teams below they'll start needing players from and that will all trickle down and that will be I think will be when things will start to kick into gear properly um and we'll start getting players moving hopefully um we do have you know a good time for five to six maybe slightly more players that you know are on that block so I think we are at the point now where you know we've done our early business we've gotten in a decent deals younger players cheaper deals that we can get so I think we are maybe at that point now where it is going to take some movement the other way before we maybe see bigger signings coming in um but yeah I'm not I'm not too worried right now just because as I say you know I think the euros is a big blocker to general movement within the transfer window so once that takes care of itself if there's another week or so past after that and we're still not you know and that'll be when I'll start to play more but um I understand why fans are worried though because we're obviously we're starting to get into games getting to friendlies um and the preparation is going to be extra important this year now with the Champions League games and things coming up what with all the nonsense going on with eyebrows so I understand why people are worried um and there are reasons to be worried but yeah I'm holding on hope that the the plan is that it's all going to come later see the one thing coming back and just come in there see the one thing that people are saying over bringing in a squad player I don't think that's right I think the players sitting in the bench should just be as good as the players on the field and if they come on to the they should offer something different obviously if you're going to have the exact same player sitting in the bench as you've got on the park then all you're going to be doing is doing white for like if you've got a player coming on to the from the bench then he should offer something different to what you do otherwise you're just hitting your head against the brick wall but I think the players that are on the bench should be just as good as the players on the park I don't think there should be first team players in squad players I think they should always squad players and the the manager can pick from virtually anybody who the role is at my team uh level of skill so I get that I do get that but walking walking well into the walking and SPFL and there was a reality though that's growing we do need players who can just do our job as opposed to their everything forward um again the worst guy you're thinking David that everybody should be able to come in and you know can people I do think realistically there will be some squad fellows just because we don't have the resources especially when we've got such a rebuild if you don't give it in my opinion we need that we need a key center after that key madfielder a key striker what's that one you know what's that he back um it's a lot of players recommending you need then you need a healthy squad to who can come in and be available it's hard to get all how many players is that well maybe nine ten eleven start to get all of them the same high quality yeah well I mean what you're going to bring another Scott right that's that everybody's complaining about that's uh I think we'll need to use the own system I think that will be done near on the end what you've got to remember as well the transfer window isn't really opened up yet that's uh once once you get the people teams start buying players then you get that domino effect that the players get released uh or off for sale and then you get that sort of a domino effect trickling down so I think most of our business will be done then but at the moment yeah the team still out well obviously Turkey are just going home now and there's still teams in the championship European championships so a lot of players there although I don't have any players that are with their now that we'll be interested in them probably be interested in them but we won't be able to afford them so that's uh I think I just think that I don't see the point of just bringing in players I mean then you then you can be sitting in the bench and I do agree with you Chelsea I understand but I think those players who we know will do a job and I think it's okay to sign a player who will come to a job when you have a very healthy squad and a very healthy quarter of 15 16 players who are you know and not priming you know what they're doing and but this season I would want to see those those positions filled up with our cool mechanic with an Ali Smith way I'd rather see his user academy for that so I'm kind of agreeing with you in our like an artist here walking the way and they'll go I'll let you come in on this um as a unrealistic to give the academy graduates more game time so we don't dial the the quality of signings coming in but actually now it's something that I'm desperate to see us do I wanted the things that annoyed me a lot about last season was the complete the practically completing our lapsens of absence of Leon King um a player that you know we had to throw in straight into the fire playing champions league games besides um a defensive midfielder um as a centre-back partner um who you know came in did as best he possibly could and I thought did pretty well given the circumstances he was thrown into um and I thought you know after a season like that he could only only hopefully go and step on from that and what happens to season accurately just doesn't get a look in at all um so you know things like that kind of annoy me um because ultimately the same thing happened again this season with uh McCausland we ended up having to just throw someone a youngster in there because we had no other choice um luckily enough you know he went and ended up doing having a pretty good season um and again hopefully kicks on next year I hope I'm not sitting here at the end of the coming season going Ross McCausland hasn't played a total of up there I don't think I will be but you know it's the type of thing that we tend to do I think um you know I think what David said is is the golden aim you know you want to have as many players that you can have in your starting eleven without worry as possible um that is like you say though you know there is a level of realism we're going to have to have some players that are quite at the same level um and part of that is because you know I want this to have the squad having young players in it part of the model is obviously to be developing players so by definition if we're developing players they're not going to be at their top of their game um so there's going to be a little bit of give and take there um I mean players like Scott Wright I'm actually a bit of a Scott Wright defender I think he gets way more grief than he deserves um I think he's pretty much on the whole almost always done um a decent job when he's played he's not the standard we want we want players who contribute more um but when you actually look at a lot of players cite the fact he's I think it's a hundred fifteen odd games he's played um and he's only got something like 20 goal contributions but in those hundred odd games a vast majority of them are like substitution appearances for minutes at a time and when you break his minutes down his goal contributions has actually comes down to 0.4.90 which is almost a goal every two and a bit games um or a goal contribution every two and a bit games um now if you could do that playing 90 minutes all the time that would be great but um I do think he's he's uh he's done his best and that's the most that we can ask of any player you know we talk about this idea of leaving it all on the park and things that and I do think he always puts in effort when he goes onto the pitch so I'm not going to go into a player too hard when it's simply just that he's not quite good enough but um yeah I think you have to have a bit of a mix in there you want this many first you start a living that's as top call as you can a couple of key positions afterwards I think you do want to have on the bench that are similar and then youth players and some um development players in there but um you also need the youth players for for you to have as well so we also have to have certain younger players that are are so home-grown. My dad works in B2B marketing he came by my school for career day and said he was a big row as man then he told everyone how much he loved calculating his return on ad spend my friends still laughing me to this day not everyone gets B2B but with LinkedIn you'll be able to reach people who do get a hundred dollar credit on your next ad campaign go to linkedin.com/results to claim your credit that's linkedin.com/results terms and conditions apply linkedin the place to be to be.

I don't know about this we do need players which are already but just better than what's probably are like so what you mentioned there like the goal contribution per minute it's like the part of the modern game and it's not even not even a modern thing we can improvise natural normal and players of that or where some players are impact players and with the other's end their role in this world is designed to be impact players so I do think when they you know use that also you know you can only carry one or two in them because if you it's an element of game but I do think someday I just got playing that role in this world to weigh that most most squad's will have them. A young player can have that position that I agree my kind of like every minute the scott mccauslin can develop is defensive I bet a little bit more than every minute that would be a scott right minute should be a mccauslin minute because that to me would be giving him the game time that helps him develop and you can do that with other players as well. We've got in my opinion if a young player is in the first team squad they should be good enough to play minutes if they're not then they shouldn't be in the first team squad in the first place so you've got all these young guys you've got divine Fraser Leon King because Lynn McKinnon what's the other boy in midfield as well you've got all these players that are in the first you know the first team squad players now training with the first team so in my mind right well you must think they're good enough to potentially play otherwise why they they are in the first place so you know give them some minutes no one can convince me that divine and Fraser couldn't both play at throwback against you know the bottom half teams in the league I mean divine and often had a great season pretty well and alone and we let Lewis me all go and and he had a good season playing so you know these players go elsewhere and play reasonably well maybe they don't become the quality we need at the end of the day but they're definitely not going to if you never give them a chance to play. David the last world on the on the youth and the youth young players coming through and it's because his name's popped up and I've got a lot of times in the core main sand and and the conversation tonight so far Ross McCausland as he did enough to be first in player uh next season and um I'm keeping that vague uh for just a first in player I'm not asking you as your star as you enough for revenge to what Doug said now as he did enough to go into it because he's another one I think gets really unfair criticism now we'll nail my car off to the master I do think he's good enough to play apart on the 18 and I think he will develop but a lot of fans can can't buy into him I do think that's the more the more we go without one in the league the more impatient we become we're famous for a nightmare is support for patience um but what's your thoughts in Ross McCausland David? Well I think Colin he's uh I just said that the we need players on the bench that can change things that can offer something different and I think Ross McCausland is uh I think I think he brings on brings in something different the other players don't as I said I think he needs to add goals to his uh his game I don't think although he does go on a few goals but I think uh that needs to get better I mean all your forwards you should be at least working for nine ten goals from the from the wingers and and obviously you're working for in the 20s for a for a Superman striker but no I think I think there's a place for him I think a lot depends as well I would imagine that the the five player rule five substitute rule is here to stay I don't think we'll be going back to three anytime soon so I would imagine that gives a what a way way then to bring in younger players and I think with nine players sitting in the bench Colin then I think I think you're doing yourself wrong if you if you're not get a few young players uh that are filling in nine sports and I can actually get a game and I don't see the point of bringing a player on for three minutes uh to try and change a game I if you're going to give up time then it's going to be 15-20 minutes uh to to bring him in I mean the the the scot one down bringing on a striker with three minutes to go to try and change so that I mean that's just all the obviously so there's nobody going to change anything in three minutes so but I think my core is the one that I think there is a place for him and uh I don't think I think there's other players that could be moved out before before he moves out I definitely do as I say I would love to see love waist coming back as well because that that game against him that really sort of uh brought out the best and I'm like that time so I would quite well like to see what what what's going to happen to him whether he's going to end up back in the BT mode whether he's going to uh break through into the first that game against a month I was like well voice that's just trying to be the new 70-10 days when we talk about Jordan Russell that'll be like well voice I know but I wonder if we ever will see him again because it's all went quiet in the west from front end up and why it's moving attention to your field then and we kind of spoke about it before we started before we started recording say then he's why I talk about the eight boys David said John Bennett and Doug asked him what is a John Bennett because we've heard fuck all uh from said Mr Bennett um over the last but since um since we announced that we have uh my supply of the way um at risk of being the old men shouting their clothes I'm going to ask your opinion on the doctors when we're on the channel um usually I need calm David doing but I think over the last four weeks David and they've been raining me and uh it's the longer this goes on the more the other that's frustrated me what's your take in the whole debacle um I mean I I think maybe just the type of person I am I tend to give maybe slightly more slack than most um I mean it's always a situation that we really could be doing without um you know we've got so much going on as it is we're trying to rebuild the team and new coaches and people coming in new players coming in um you know the importance of Champions League qualifiers and stuff so all that um just really could have done without it at the same time you know if it's uh a delay in shipping that's ultimately was out with the club's control um so I'm I'm hesitant to put too much um sort of rage into it as as much as maybe some others that said the bigger problem for me is the communication issue um I'm not just over this particular issue but the broader thing I mean this we haven't really heard from Ben at all since he kind of first um came out and and did his little spiel about besting class and then things like that and since then I don't think I've really seen him once um and to me that's the bigger issue it's the club still isn't isn't really getting a good enough level communication with the fans um something that we talked about over the uh journal recently was the fan advisory board um it came off of one of our pods um and I contacted them emailed them that night and to their credit one of them email about within about an hour whether or fly um because they had meetings in the January in the march um and they mentioned me quarterly so that would mean that they were due to meet and read about now um I trained off they had just had a meeting and it was 72 hours later that the news broke about the delays and not had been mentioned in their meeting um so you know that kind of caught them off guard um but then they said that those minutes would be out shortly and that was over a week ago now and those still aren't on the club website um so it sounds like the experience of of um communication and the transparency of communication just still doesn't seem to be there um even if they have nothing to add I think it would be good if they were coming out and saying look we're still working on this we've just been talking with the SFA we've just been talking with Hampton we've just been talking with whoever um we're working on this day every single day to get it done um put some reassurances out right now fans are just sitting there going oh am I going to get to go to these games are they going to be somewhere I can travel through is it going to be somewhere I can't um you know they've just got no clue what's happening and if you leave that vacuum then it will get filled by someone else um and a lot of the time that someone else may or may not be people you want to fill that vacuum um or it'll just be people will fill it with the worst case scenario so I think that's the bigger issue for me not so much the actual problem itself um but the lack of communication in care that they're taken to reassure fans that you know they're working on it and that they're going to make sure that whatever the outcome is that it'll be the best outcome they can get that that last point is such a good point because um in general I can be a week gobshade realize ah I didn't really spit my dummy I've been very vocal with this over the last few weeks and and I've no seen I speak for all fans but I know those fans it's feel the same as me and and David why is it oh yeah I want I want to be careful with my body of the cause that says need an old regime right let's be honest and I I'm probably more vocal over when the club gets it wrong which is maybe unfair and mapper um but this lack of communication it speaks to the arrogance that we've seen very poor rangers balls have in the past and I do think like if in money and it is spibs we we had just this absolute disdain of the supporters of should be the last people you know it got a wee bit better under Dave King I think he regressed under um Douglas Park started to get a wee bit better under Buzz drill but again we all did say at that time it's only lapsed over some ways we see long-term sustainability and for me Dave even though that just seems to be so I don't know if I'm wanting to much any less but is this a long-term problem the rangers the rangers balls have we communicated to the fans well they were supposed to all these working groups were supposed to be being brought and I don't know whether obviously I'm a long way away from from eyebrows but I don't know where you hear about these words what's actually happening these working groups it's a it's an updates and that it's a great early but I don't know if the fan advisory board the dog was speaking about that that's that's like that's what the dog was mentioning and they also leave me in the corner of the list this sure sure why they could they could advise them and they they could bring the any use out that that's uh I mean this is going to cause rangers a fortune it's not just the delay and work the way that it's ever it's going to be hounding we're going to have to bring you the pitch now I would imagine that the the desk we would have to we're going to have to do it anyway so I wouldn't imagine we're going to have to pay all the the the pitch renew but we what we need to do is we they were there was going to be a long-term system to put the pitch in and we knew it we needed done in a five day similar as a five day way to do it but that of course a lot more so we will probably have to pay that then we're going to have to pay the rent for a for a hounding and then we're going to probably have to pay compensation to Queen's Park because they they've been given after the the Scottish nations we as a nations we call it I don't know what you call it but um after Scotland playing that then Queen's Park we're going to get hounding so we're going to have to probably pay them compensation and that's it's going to cost a lot of money and I've seen Bennett did uh was talking to our journalist and he put basically over under the under the bus through the bus program saying if it's all his fault uh I read that somewhere so yeah I think it is long-term calling that's uh maybe we need Kenny I went back in the dressing room there till till weeks of information but no I think to do it I mean preferably I thought hounding hounding is obviously the best bet for supporters because they don't have to travel much further but I think we're going to have to do all these this is grass uh putting a new grass and getting all these costs I think Maury Field is probably the better bet simply because firstly we can get 67000 then if we can fill if we can fill that going to Edinburgh I don't I don't know so obviously we could make more money 17000 extra seats is uh it's quite a lot of money to bring in and it would probably cover its own cost then but um obviously the SFA I mean they have they've jumped into the bit to try and get us to go there because they've they've seen uh door signs when I pass in the front the rise but that no I think it's it I think it's shock sister I don't know why but I mean the plan has been absolutely almost what it's for is it yeah right and that's what we can agree and just don't know those there's almost not me in the point in the comments uh what can you do with materials being delayed and I suppose the point I'm making is I don't believe that that's the only way I shoot the other just down the delays and to do to those earlier point the only way to squash that uh that comment is by actually coming in we are comprehensive update and not just uh I quite tweaked um with um supporters update as a title um no just sorry I'm gonna go well I was just gonna say I think you kind of hit on the point there for me uh because the analogy that I sort of think about it must in terms of myself and maybe why I'm you know less harsh on the board is you know it's as if you know I'm getting a new bathroom and and my plumbers messed up um you know so ranges is me we're the customer in this scenario so you know it's a contractor that's made the issue but I think you hit at the point where when you said there that you don't necessarily trust that that was the only issue because if that was the only thing then you know the contractors to blame because they've not got the stuff when they should have got it um and they've not ensured that that's happened which has put us the customer at this advantage I'm hoping that we have insurances or um underlying underliners and things to help cover some of the costs and things that jay was mentioned there so that's kept to a minimum but the the lack of communication you know it leads to what you're saying there where it breaks down the trust between the board and the fans if the board were bare communicators then we might be sitting here going well we know that they'll be doing everything that they can to make this sort this out and and whatever happens they'll do the best they can and be talking about it in a positive way but we've had so many years um in recent memory of just cock up after cock up after mess up after mess up that that um trust isn't there and whatever boards come in they're going to have to build that and the only way that they will do that is with clear and transparent communication um I mean we've not even touched on the fact that obviously David touched on there the fact that I mean he's potentially blaming Biscro who's obviously gone we also don't have I see all right now um so you know that's another issue in and of itself I haven't heard anything about that actually now that I think about it in the last week and a bit um you know Biscro left there was the link where the boy from hearts and then actually I've been too wrapped up in transfers but I'm sitting here now thinking to myself I'd say I'm not a word about that either um and that should be something that we should be really trying to get started quickly because again you need someone to be steering the ship properly um so you're I mean that's just another issue on top of one type of things there. Do you think what there is properly you said properly there obviously it's not been done properly up to now. Just to give a bit of context for you know what's not so helping to help me on spinning a bit off a field I chose before this my frustration doesn't come through this thing in isolation this comes through ranging just continuously getting decisions wrong which impact supports um I think like the Edmondson House was far too delayed this new G41 bar that I may be opening the new Superstore February in early 2024 was the due date for that it's never known as that entire for the year so that's been in going. The 150th anniversary like celebrations and quotation marks was just a different font on the badge um it was a gold badge instead of a white badge they make an ask of it and then in effect as it is actually poetic that I got this today before coming on the board and I went through my dad's who will mark my ranger's um Texas and whoever gets sent and my dad got through in Friday the my gels kit and for a daft we called a pin badge and some I can say and I'm going to put it in the bin probably I mean that's what I get for 40 pounds that and the privilege to spend more money and I'll do some sort of well about the fans being treated like cash cows and you I know it's my option to pay for the strips or pay for the tuckets nobody's putting a gun in my head it's my hobby I want to do it and ultimately such and soon my business I know that they probably need to make money but this whole disdain for what you get in return both on and off the pitch baby um I've no got to go down the my gels uh tantrum again because that's not the people of the book but do you see what I'm saying where it's not just one thing with angels it's every opportunity I feel with the fans and after all yeah what's said was seems that we're calling but I don't know whether Ben is just frightened they come out to me for this way because I mean this this call cup is uh I mean it's there's no it's not even fact is it five weeks now before it's we play a first game yep and we don't even know where it's going to be we have an aqua where it's going to be and I mean it sounds like shambles how can i i mean people would be dear for these these these these tickets the least they could do is keep us up to date with what's happening and if he doesn't know what's happening call and then then it's they're not even it's part of the problem because that that's the whole problem obviously somebody's not knowing what's been going on and that's uh you know it's just uh the the the lack of the lack of the white and everybody know what is if they want to thank me the family club everybody and anybody and they should treat us that way everybody and anybody and they should let us know what is happening with the club is it going to be a month is it going to be just august is it good are we going to go into september october and still not have a place to play no they knows have they started work yet or what is that is it is it i mean if they're not started work yet and then i don't even be finished in september to be honest with you but uh no it's it's just uh there's some biggest shambles as i've seen at the club for ages uh calling and and as i say the the lack of uh of wetness know what is actually going on is it's it's something that the board are at fault for you can't you i mean they can't they blame anybody else but the board because they should be the ones that are telling us what is happening just as well that the saying do you get man infected because that's what they've been uh an absolute tyrant of our pod if not at least we opened the web about our good news but i suppose now we've brought all that off our chest gen sets is a nice a place with any to wrap it up um before i do i go dog usually we we predict the this role for the next game um but we don't know exactly what wands is friendly and will be like um so it's the other preseason we are predicting how many signings will we see rangers make in the next seven days so catches off many do you think we'll get over the line um sadly i want to say i've had that i feel like maybe none but i'll say one to keep things optimistic baby do you have a um do you have any higher than none of one are you the same as dog i think i do i do these very well get one this week go and i think we'll we'll hear about another 40 names or their possibilities that were supposed to be chasing but i don't think anybody really knows who who were chasing or what were chasing obviously we were after i can't remember a guy his name dreeok or something without from from excels there in holland we were chasing him he went to p s p s v so he's off the off the list and there's another couple of guys that were supposed to be chasing real the last name i have was bobby quark of witherpool were supposed to be going to try and get him and own so i doubt i think it's too early for over one player yeah i don't think we'll be bringing them into later but um yes yeah there's a few names kicking about who were all voters from arsenal seem to have been released by arsenal so you know we were interested in him i was at yeah i thought that when i thought that was actually dead in the water i was at yeah i thought i said he wasn't interested right you know we have a daily news podcast monday free day stop giving away all the content we need listeners to come in and fucking hear them in the news podcast take a number many many we're saying in this week none none i'm inclined to agree with you David no maybe if i answered this before um the join been around i wouldn't have said one or two but after that i'm like no i'm a fucking staining navety and we'll have a a chance to have deadline the announcement of i don't know why
