9 points behind before November even starts, a maniac of a manager of who thought Rangers’ ‘display’ v Aberdeen was good, and a bunch of players few of whom are remotely fit to wear the shirt.
Unfortunately, Ibrox Noise has been warning about Philippe Clement ever since the first Parkhead loss last season – we initially endorsed his appointment, and we got it badly, badly wrong.
Anyone who still wants this fool in charge of our club is a complete Happy Clapper who isn’t that bothered by Rangers’ success, only looking like a ‘staunch’ fan to others, pontification and sanctimoniously preaching about ‘win lose or draw we follow on’.
Rangers’ performance at Pittodrie was exactly what Ibrox Noise (and the majority of Rangers fans) expected. A drab, feeble, pathetic affair with no coherent, no power, no tactic and no hope.
Yes, the first 25 of the second half were a bit better, but nowhere near enough, and while Bajrami’s goal was outstanding, it didn’t feel particularly deserved, even if Rangers had improved a jot.
Aberdeen are a plain better side than us, with a better manager and better players. Rangers are now in a battle for third place, which is a disgraceful thing to say on Halloween.
Philippe Clement and his abysmal management has taken us from nearly winning the title to choking the lot, and going on a horrible downward trajectory that has turned us into a midtable team.
We warned about him after he failed at Parkhead, we warned about him when he called 3-3 at Ibrox a ‘moral victory’.
We were called ‘tims’ for this, we were abused repeatedly by Rangers fans for ‘not backing the manager’.
Heck, we were even abused similarly after Kilmarnock last week, for saying all this then too – and now that it’s happened two SPL matches in a row, suddenly all the fans are agreeing.
We didn’t want to be right, but we knew we were, and unfortunately the damage since March has just continued.
Rangers have fundamental issues for sure, but signing the rubbish that Clement and that joker Nils Koppen have definitely hasn’t helped. They had £16M and two windows and Rangers are miles weaker than even before the summer. Don’t pretend £16M can’t buy you anything decent.
This is the manager, remember, who swore by the hapless Fabio Silva.
Clement needs to go, resign, arrivederci aur revoir.
Few fans now endorse him, even if they still add a few caveats about the board.
It was a bad, bad appointment, and we need to move on.
We’re sure he’s a good man, and if he has the same character as Paul Le Guen, he’ll resign now.
