Rangers v2.0 (A)

[tHeArAb]

There is a key difference between what Mellon achieved and what Courts has: top six. Add to that the possibility of finishing high enough for European football and the difference is even more stark.

It sounds to me like you should perhaps call it a day? If you don't want to go and would rather do something else, what's the point?

However, the fact you have the choice on whether or not you continue to go and watch United is a very precious thing.

Mellon also had Shankland, an in form Fuchs and a keeper whose head wasn't all over the shop. He also didn't have to go through a cost cutting exercise losing 10 players mid season. I'm willing to give Tam the benefit of doubt here. He's identified the need for at least 6 signings in the summer, so to me, he has at least acknowledged our deficiencies. First season as a pro manager and we're sitting 4th with the possibility of Europe. We'd be pretty daft to get rid and jump back on the managerial merrygoround that is Scottish football. He rectified our poor defence in the last summer window. Let's see if he can do the same in the forward areas.

It should also be added the points total Mellon had after 33 games would have been enough to take United in to the top 6 this season. The difference between this season and last season was 2 points. We have benefited from, other than Hearts, no other team outside the OF having any consistency. And you rightly pointed out we had Shankland last season. So very little difference between the 2 and I would stick Tam. The biggest error was bringing back McNulty who is a complete waste of space. I am not sure that was Tam's decision. The goal scoring issue is still to be sorted.

I'm not sure TC has much say in the transfer policy at all. He was asked about signings the other week on the radio and his answer suggested that.

Baffling how Shankland is being brought into this when he wasnt even our top scorer last season, and as much as he is derided on here, TC is on record that he has not played that top scorer Clark in his favoured position this season, more than likely because he has had to play McNumpty when fit!

Is it to TCs credit that we cut 10 players? We got money for Shankland last summer, then Fuchs and Smith in January, but i would expect Asghar is the one to have dealt with that, and all the loan deals.

Not so sure he rectified our poor defence and more than likely landed lucky. Cant help but listen to stories that Mulgrew was inbound before Mellon departed and Mark Reynolds was coming to the end of his time anyway, and we just needed Connolly as far away as possible. Then there is the emergence of Freeman, Nielsen and Graham, and while TC has the remit of giving youth the chance, they have to be good enough to get that chance in the first place. Most disappointing thing now though is i think our best defender has played his last game for the club!

Who'd be a football manger, eh? No credit for any good and all the credit for any bad. 🤔
