    I blame Lawell for his neglect of the scouting staff. Instead of blowing 3 million on Boli it should have been spent on employing a first class scouting team. Player recruitment is vital and we have made a complete * of it. Forget Neil Lennon being to blame, if we lose the league it will be down to signing poor players. Neil Lennon is given these players to work with , the blame rests at the scouting teams door and even more so at Lawells for allowing these chumps to waste millions on * players. We are shooting ourselves in the foot and handing our title to the huns.

    Another one Rangers #55 have ended.

    I can't think of one good signing that he brought to the table.

    For that, he can * off.

    Hopefully this is another indication of root and branch restructuring at the club that we desperately need.

    He should get his final wages docked for his overall performance here.

    Useless *.

    DoF must surely be a done thing, at least surely McKay is having more say than we are led to believe.

    Not saying the guy was *, to be honest he wasnt here long enough to know if the signings under his watch are actually decent or not - not when Lennon was the one "managing" them.

    But it's positive signs of the massive restructure we are expecting. DoF must surely be signed off and agreeing to these sort of things as well, even if not announced to us in public yet.

    How much has this guy been paid for failing completely? You would have thought that following Congerton he couldn’t make things any worse but this guy actually managed it.

    I actually remembered praising him at first as I thought his signings on paper were right.

    But again like most signings in recent years its hard to know which he actually led.

    Time for change anyway. He was a slight improvement on congerton..I guess.
