The Rangers Supporters Trust today launched their campaign entitled "We deserve better" at the custodians of Rangers Football Club.
The trust has set out area of concern to the support as detailed below, and various RST spokesmen will be appearing on various media outlets tonight, including Setanta Sports and Real Radio, looking to put pressure on the club to explain the following :-
- Only 2 league titles in 8 seasons
- Only 2 cups won in last 3 full seasons
- Losing to the worst European opponents faced since Valletta in 1983
- A state of the art training facility, yet no advancements in technique or set plays
- No discernible strategic vision, either on or off the pitch
- No long-term transfer or team-building plan
- Only two youth players (McGregor and Hutton) of genuine quality produced in the last decade
- Selling first team players to cover losses previously made on fringe players
- Consistent failure to move fringe players on for reasonable transfer fees
- Lucrative pay-offs for failed players - Failure to profit from our most lucrative ever season
- Failure to engage with or interact with the support in any meaningful way
- Treating Rangers fans with disdain as customers instead of valuing and working with them as supporters and part of the Rangers family
- Inability to either attract inward investment, or to convince fans to invest in any meaningful way
- Reduction in the status of our club from leading football force in the land, to almost social pariah status through a failure to challenge those seeking to link Rangers with sectarianism
- A PR operation which only acts when senior club figures are personally criticised and all too often fails to defend the Rangers support
- Fan morale lower than at any time in the past 24 years
