They then dive into the latest boardroom drama, with John Bennett stepping down and the latest statement from Dave King

Andrew thinking this defence could go all season winning one nil every game is pretty funny 🤣🤣🤣

I’m liking a couple of things… We’re starting to see ‘options’ develop. For instance, Ridvan is no longer a “must” play, he is becoming a squad/relief player… Jefte can now be rested or moved up. Starting to see these options be created in multiple positions! Also, we still have loads of players we haven’t seen play regularly yet… Cortes, Nana, Cerny, Bajrami, Igamane, even Danilo. I’ll keep harping on it… give Big Phil the time… he’s (re-)building propperly! He won’t have 100% success with every signing… but I already see a huge improvement over our previous manager (term used overly generously).

[@I.B.Rox1962]

Shona’s bang on… 5-10 + yr plan is essential. And I’ll say it again… only Clement has been consistent in that message… hell, he’s even talking about how we (SPL teams) can improve the FA!

[@williamlang9508]

It is parks fault he stopped investment coming in also King said that he made mistakes . Kenny you just said that you were not going to slaughter his character but you just have to

[@stevenmurray3398]

He said the American deal wasnt there, but there is investment out there! Quite an easy statement to understand unless you are looking to undermine the guy? Why dont you find the guy or guys to takebus forward since you are so knowledgeable?

[@AlanMcConnell007]

He left during Covid to look after his S African business having left the club, so he thought, in capable hands. With no CEO and now no Chairman clearly he felt he needed to act, imo. Outwith that you'd have to ask DK himself. He's a tough taskmaster by all accounts, and perhaps is not liked too much as a result. He gets things done as we saw when he was Chairman previously. Better the devil you know especially as he has a proven track record with the club.

[@billyfiz]

Parks are a tumour within the boardroom, why the criticism just for King.

[@fourladshadadream]

Where did we praise anyone in this boardroom?

[@billyfiz]

@@fourladshadadream you didn't praise anyone but you all criticised king like you thought king was only doing it for something in return rather than for the good of the club. Tbh youz know King more than me so we'll see going forward if he's right man or not, hell definitely shake the place up and say it how it is. The board obviously don't want to lose their comfy seat and blazer.

[@AlanMcConnell007]

Tell Mr ''you know' that Dave King is the largest shareholder with MILlIONS invested. What's in it for him? PROTECTING HIS INVESTMENT!!

[@fourladshadadream]

Like he has done since he walked out? Why let it get to this point?

[@amartin3893]

I heard DK on Talksport, and think he's up to his old tricks. Claiming there is a crisis of unknown scale, throwing shade at Douglas Park, and claiming the club is going backwards with no leadership. Just what he did the last time he wanted rid of the board. Maybe he was right then, but not now. I think Dave King is a dinosaur who wants to sell his shares for a profit. At least after hearing what he said I no longer think John Gilligan is his proxy. I was worried Douglas Park had sold his shares, but now feel reassured he hasn't. Douglas Park is far better for Rangers than DK ever will be.

[@F217-o3r]

Park? useful? 😆 sure

[@jamessullivan4711]

DK would move rangers forward by putting proper experienced guys into the boardroom we’ve no chairman no CEO and no plans to get anyone anytime soon

[@amartin3893]

@@jamessullivan4711 He would likely reappoint Stewart Robertson. DK is an autocratic style business operator with old fashioned methods. He doesn't know what's best for Rangers.

[@amartin3893]

@@F217-o3r Shame on you and anyone else who doesn't recognize what Douglas Park has done for Rangers.

[@bryanh5684]

Andrew will be a big miss.

[@fourladshadadream]

He’s on holiday for a few weeks, I’ve not sold him or anything, he’ll be back

[@YouWillAlwaysHearUsRoaring]

Lawrence is shite same chat wear having about him that we had about Matondo and Dessers after Ross County, everyone on this Podcast has gave him stick and said they don’t want him being a starter, he’s not got legs, he’s not mobile enough , it’s Dundee United who just came up from the Championship he had a half decent game nothing more and people are saying he looks fitter and Clement’s had a word with him, he doesn’t look any better he just came up against a poor team and will be back to his old self in the coming games when the level of opponent rises. He’s just another aging journeyman taking good money out the club and delivering nothing when it matters. Don’t be fooled by these players because they turn up the odd game against Redarse Rovers, When Celtic turn up they will roll over again and yous will be back hammering them. They’re loosers until they win anything of relevance and let’s be honest they won’t. Shona makes good point on Dave King with his Buzz words.

[@fourladshadadream]

No one is fooled, he played well that’s all.

[@F217-o3r]

I'm looking forward to 2027. A Tavernier-less Glasgow Rangers. I mean,, celtic will have overtaken us by then - but at least we'll have a chance (after he's left )

[@Damz___z]

😂 The Anti Dave King Clan, Coming at you at full force

[@petershields5290]

Susrprised they are not happy. Our current board is disgusting and aint working or investing.

[@fourladshadadream]

Ah because we all gave the current board a glowing reference as well, instead of King

[@petershields5290]

@@fourladshadadream The current boards a joke tho. 🙈 Begging to think we don’t have a board actually lol.

[@peteradam2555]

Anti Dave king or smart enough to see through Kings standard rhetoric? 👀

[@BlueBellsRBlue]

Every word spoke here in terms of concerns was true. That's undeniable. Love to hear what he has proven before that has fans so enthusiastic about his return? He literally got short term success at the expense of the clubs long term success. We are where we are now and a lot of it was because of the foundation King set.

[@pelikanrogue1738]

Right Kenny we know your pals a high profile ref 😂

[@BillStorrie]

💯 about ego's & that has been an issue for too long!! Old school thinking of short, medium & and long-term planning is a must. That needs stability & consistency.....if only!! 🔴⚪️🔵🇬🇧

[@ScottB05]

The manager can't adapt to what the opposition manager does. Resulted in side to side slow then back then long ball. Doesn't play between the lines with forward passes. The centre backs reluctant to pass forward.

[@petershields5290]

Whats the problem? we need change, Dave King obviously proved in the past he can fix things maybe he has possible investment from the east! Why would he with some of this board in place. WE WANT KING!

[@fourladshadadream]

Opinions are allowed, there will be a lot of groundswell for King, it’s already been knocked back & won’t be happening anyway

[@petershields5290]

@@fourladshadadream Probably not as nothing changes.

[@BlueBellsRBlue]

@petershields5290 weird how so many fans commenting are also raising factually based concerns about King. I guess none of them are "real fans" and "cheerleaders" pal eh? 👍 you seem to be basing everything on the current board not being fit for purpose and I've seen no one disagree, all that's being said is King is probably not the answer.

[@ScottB05]

Seen enough of Dessers and Tav. Bloody awful.

[@jeffray7494]

Kyle Fox better of with Samantha Fox at least she looks good or did..:)

[@J.D_7]

Thank you to all 4. Great show and chemistry. Enjoy the holiday Andrew.

[@ikabod9251]

I get you are no fan of King, but I don't understand anyone backing the current board. They have brought the club we love to its knees from a place of power after 55. Where did the Bassey and Patterson money go? Where did European money go? Lots of questions and no answers change is needed, imho 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@fourladshadadream]

Don’t think anyone backs the current board or said that?

[@watp8879]

I use to quite respect what strve clifford etc said but to say that about Dave king is wrong and also a few other statements he has made and it is parks fault etc the state we are in let's not beat the bush , Dave king gave us gerrard who stopped 10 and had us 6 points and cruising before he left so, but everyone has there own oppinion , what I will tell use all of these podcasts now majority of thr presenters etc are puppets for the board, funny no one talks about king and for kenny to say king didn't bring sucess is laughable

[@fourladshadadream]

Everyone has their own opinion, but, what Stevie says is wrong, I don’t respect him anymore, it’s all the Parks fault & podcasters are puppets for the current board. Just as well everyone has their own opinion though 😂😂😂

[@BlueBellsRBlue]

Agree 💯 on King lads. One thing i wish you'd stay clear of is any notion that the Parks are not also in need of just as much, and probably more scrutiny. Thats the one thing King shining a spotlight on i do absolutely agree with.

[@andydavie506]

Spot on Shona about Lawrence now having a challenge for his position 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 sadly it also questions his attitude

[@stevenmurray3398]

Buzz words says the stats Queen lol

[@andydavie506]

He wants Park out and to be honest so do I.
