The strangle hold on the SPFL title is over. We completely collapsed in the second period against Celtic to hand them the crown.

Our facilities are the best they can be and each time they're downgraded we get them back to the top, however very rarely have anyone decent enough come through the youth ranks. And Normally I'd head down that route with development, but when you're on a network save againt your brother its harder to do it that way.

That's the issue I have as well, both my youth and training facilities are "state of the art" but yet during my seventeen seasons only Barry Geggan and Peter Chisholm have come through to become first team regulars at the club. I've got another good left winger in the U20's currently out on loan at Hibernian but he's already 23 years old so I may need to try him in the first team next season and probably sell Hernandez. I'd love a top class (potential at least) striker coming through if I'm being "forced" to sell Shinnie.

Adam Shinne is still unhappy at the club and I rejected a transfer request from him - I feel he'll need to be sold in the summer with his contract due to expire at the end of next season and he'll be hard to replace that's for sure once he's officially left Ibrox. Granted he hasn't played too much football, Ibrahima Lago is also very unhappy and I turned down a transfer request from him - he only joined in the summer fs. I've also turned down a fee up to the region of £51m for centre back Elias so I expect him to become unhappy as well.

This has proven to be a tough season even though we've won the league on each of the last eight seasons. We are in second place after twenty four matches and lost four games, we are four points behind the leaders Hibernian but we did win the BetFred Cup again, beating Falkirk 4-3 in the final but we've failed to progress through the Champions League group stages and that'll remain to continue while we're getting extremely tough draws.

We lose loads of money every month I think the wages are killing it tbf!

You end up in administration with Liverpool or was it not that bad? I've been trying to be tight with the finances at Rangers with the highest paid player being on £65k p/w which sounds like nothing.

Unfortunately we (Liverpool) have gone into the red in finances quite heavily, had a board take over several years ago and unfortunately they've killed the club with lack of investment etc.

How? I always thought with Premier League money (and possibly Champions League money) then going into the red financially would've been quite impossible.

Season 16 has been completed and once again it was a successful enough season.

Scottish Premiership: Champions (shocker!)
BetFred Cup: Winners - beat Hearts 3-0 in the final
Scottish Cup: Winners - beat Falkirk 3-1 in the final
Champions League: Group stages - finished third in Group A
Europa League: Runners-up - lost 2-1 to Liverpool in the final

However it's come at a "cost" because Adam Shinne is unhappy at the club and wants a move away from Ibrox but I'm reluctant to let him leave but he's only got two years left on his current deal so I might actually have to sell him and he's going to be hard to replace as he only bagged 41 league goals this season. This summer I might try and get rid of the "old" players so Harry Cochrane, John Charlesworth, Nick Gibson and Cammy Henderson may be departing but we'll see.

Lastly the overall balance at the club has gone down to just £59m from over £100m so I need to make sure it doesn't get too out of hand.

To the surprise of no one I once again won the league with Rangers, won both domestic cups as well iirc but got dumped out of the Champions League at the hands of Liverpool. Had agreed to sell Nick Gibson to Manchester United for a staggering £50m but couldn't find a suitable replacement for him so the guy stays put and surprisingly he's not unhappy while Adam Shinne wants to go to Chelsea but I'm very reluctant to let him leave as he's been amazing for me.

EDIT: This is the squad ahead of what will be my sixteenth season as Rangers manager as we look for an eighth SPFL title in succession but more importantly, as we look for some Champions League success although I feel that'll never happen but never say never.

Peter Sani has been attracting interest throughout the summer but I'm reluctant to let him leave, same as Leandro Ibarra and Adam Shinne although I feel the latter will want to leave in the summer if we once again fail to win the Champions League as he's alerted the interest of (currently) West Ham but I've rejected a few bids from Arsenal for him. As previously stated, Nick Gibson was all set to move to Manchester United for £50m but because I couldn't find a replacement, he stayed.

Solid enough start to the league season although we've beaten the worst team in the league (via media prediction) 3-1. We needed three goals in the final fourteen minutes to seal the points with winger Nico Karger bagging a brace while Nicholas Helmbrecht scored in between the Karger double.

There's no point posting the league table as only one game has been played.

We've had to rely on loan signings ahead of our second season at the helm of 1860 Munich and even they've been difficult to find at times but I'm satisfied with who I've been able to find especially Park Yi-Young who has joined from Second Division side St. Pauli and should definitely be a regular starter during his season loan.

Indeed. You know what's the worst part? If we didn't concede that 95th minute header when we were already losing..we'd have been up on away goals.

Shucks.

This could be a tough season ahead if I struggle to get some loanee's in because even with releasing Sascha Molders at the end of his contract (he wanted £3.2k p/w which we simply couldn't afford) we are still near £3.5k p/w over the wage budget and we've no transfer budget either. Getting a good/quality striker in is the #1 priority.

Then why don't you do it yourself then? Everyone on these forums have a life and can't be online 24/7 and @claassen will sort out the update(s) when he's motivated.

The long unbeaten run has finally come to an end, annoyingly losing 2-1 away to Furth II. A 20 match unbeaten run in the league alone cannot be sniffed at but it's just frustrating it had to happen to someone, I don't know, who are crap and started the game fourth bottom and in the relegation zone.

Astonishingly we are still unbeaten this season as 1860 Munich and a scoreless draw at home to Bayern's second team ruined what could've been a perfect month. We still remain in the Bayerischer Pokal after seeing off Don Bosco Bamberg in the eighth final stage.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/AaZ3ggU8tYDm5bD33Y8y7Dw5ILshfgZkXmHTxP2c.jpg

Top of the table and currently three points clear of Bayern's reserve team who currently occupy second place. I'm surprised the excellent start has continued.

The away games against Nurnberg II and Bayreuth were both particulary frustrating because we conceded late goals in both of those games which ultimately stopped us getting more points on the board. We did draw at home to the leaders Eichstatt but they had ten men since the 62nd minute and we just couldn't captialise. It was an easy progression though to the Bayerischer Pokal Eighth Final in which the draw hasn't been made yet.

Superb.

Since the last post a few hours ago I have added two more players - spending another £28.5m on two defensive minded players. Gianmarco Lucifredi cost me £9m from Marseille as another centre back option while I shelled out £19m on right back Josh Williams from Manchester City. The league season began with a 4-2 win away to Aberdeen but that doesn't tell you half the story because Aberdeen were reduced to eight men before half time.

Na don't give up, I've thought similar with Arsenal but then i realise I'm not gonna manage 8 seasons anywhere else so would love to stick with this (want a new stadium) until 2019's game. You've still got the champions league to play for.

I was planning on taking the vacancy at Manchester United a few seasons back whenever they finished down in sixth as I could've attempted a clear out and try to rebuild them to title winners but alas I was unsuccessful and I stayed put at Rangers and iirc then won the league title and have done since. There was talk about potentially leaving Ibrox for a brand spanking new stadium but I haven't heard anything else since but I'm not fussed on whether we leave Ibrox or not as it's an iconic stadium imo.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/3fenlMQjDMMQPVxHFq6cQTqs722b5ySdiwT7A3MW.jpg

Just looking another centre back or two as three simply won't be enough over the course of the season, especially when competing in the Champions League.

Some players' morale has been slightly damaged because of me, I was supposed to place the third choice goalkeeper in the U20's squad as I don't think he'll be getting used much (if at all) this season as I accidentally placed the majority of the first team into the U20's and I had to profusely apologise.

I had planned on leaving Rangers after the Europa League success over Roma but after I thought about it I realised that even though I'm dominating the league now and at times the cups, I'm still enjoying managing them and it hasn't gotten boring yet - mainly because big clubs keep trying to sign my best players, thus needing to replace them once they depart with equal or better players - e.g. Fred Klaus is more than likely heading to Manchester City for £45m.

This summer I have decided to "splash the cash" as I have a near £200m transfer budget due to saving over the seasons.

Season 12 has been completed and it was quite a disappointing season even though we won a fourth consecutive SPFL title.

But we got dumped out of the BetFred Cup in the second round (our first hurdle) following a 2-1 defeat away to Hearts which meant we couldn't try and win that competition for a fifth consecutive campaign while our chances of a third Scottish Cup crown was ended by fierce rivals Celtic who beat us 1-0 at the quarter final stage. Our Champions League hopes ended in the First Knockout Stage, losing to Lyon.
