Ibrox fans call for boardroom clear out starting with Douglas Park

After another false dawn ended with Celtic lifting the Viaplay Cup Ibrox fans on social media are calling for a boardroom clear out.

Less than a year ago 45,000 happy bears were partying in Seville trying to convince themselves that the SPFL title was small fry ahead of losing out to the 10^th best team in Germany.

John Lundstram was the best midfielder on earth while Giovanni van Bronckhorst had applied a few tweaks to the squad to raise the bar higher than Steven Gerrard had ever managed.

This season started with a place in the Champions League record books, another hiding at Celtic Park followed by the return of True Blue Micky Beale, fresh from sharing a few drinks with the loyal bears in the Loundon Tavern.

January brought Nicolas Raskin and Todd Cantwell to the club as the squad renewal was again put off but all was well with Beale the brightest young coach in the game.

At 1.45pm yesterday the Hampden team was announced without the January signings, by 5pm the bears were on their way back to Larkhall, Kilwinning, Bearsden and Bridgeton while Celtic lifted another trophy.

If Beale fails the board come into the firing line, from the Twitter thread below delivering two trophies in 11 years won’t offer up much in the way of protection.

The thread concludes with this belter, after the very detailed listing of boardroom failings.

That’s a pretty incredible thread. The amount of shite, as a support, we’ve had thrown at us, quite astonishing.

Come back after the break and shit the bed again. We fall 13 points behind Celtic and get put out the Scottish Cup by a pish Hearts team who were bottom of the league before football is stopped because of pandemic. Celtic win a fourth consecutive treble.

We then go into the summer of 2021 needing freshness. We sign 3 players in Lundstram, Bacuna and Sakala when we needed a goalkeeper, a centre back, a central midfielder, a right winger and a striker. The board thought that team didn’t need rebuilt and insulted our intelligence.

Rangers come back after the winter break and just like 2 other occasions, shit the bed after the winter break. January transfer window was a disaster. We go to Parkhead and lose 3-0 which Celtic swing the points. The tarriers with the unknown fat Aussie go on to win a double.

What do the board and Gio do? Extend McGregor, Davis and Arfield’s contracts. Sign an injury prone defender from Hearts. Sign a left back who’s the total opposite from Bassey. Sign Rabbi fuckin Matondo. Let Morelos and Kent’s contracts run down.

We lose 4-0 at Parkhead to Celtic and get blown away in the first half again, we get utterly embarrassed in the Champions League and become statistically the worst side in Champions League history after the board take every penny they could off the fans.

So the question is, why aren’t fans protesting? You were quick to fuckin chase the spivs out. Why not this board? Because they stopped the 10? They’ll also be the board who’ve appointed numerous dud managers and a board who’ll see Celtic overtake our overall count next year.

If you think this is okay, fuck off and support Aberdeen. This is what they’ve become since the Fergie days. Accept the odd cup and the odd good performances a season.
