McDowell resigned after learning of the bords plans to agree to bring in up to 6 Newcastle fringe and youths to his sqaud without any say on the matter. He was also told that he would expect to play the loanees, McDowell told the board it makes his position untenable, that he is not happy with the board making team selections or bringing in player without his input. Strong rumour we are paying Mike a pay as you play on each player, effectivley we are using Mikes loan to pay Mike Ashley so he can pay their Newcastle wages.

Ya he'd rather play wasters like black, foster,Hutton, mcculloch and Miller! If he wasn't happy why did he not just go, instead of hanging about like a bad smell collecting his salary, let's not paint mcdowall as some sort of hero and that he resigned over some sort of principle! Those 5 youngsters should walk in to are team after Sundays debacle!

Surely if he was so disgusted by the loans, he would have actually resigned, rather than handing in his 12 months notice?

I think it's pretty obvious that the man quite for the simple reason that he has had enough, and who can blame him. The whole club is a mess from top to bottom.

These 5 players are welcome additions to a squad who have lost their heart and are struggling but the signings raise so many more questions than answers.

not much point in bringi!g in these lads and having Allys proxy picking team and deciding what tactics we are playing. I say that as nothing has changed since the swapover not will it. they should have brought in a young hungry man with some tactical nous.

Quiet frankly the young lads that have come up will hopefully be of a far better standard that the dross that call themselves Rangers players at present

Hear hear could not be any worse! I am still optimistic for mike Ashley, let's be honest there's only 291 richer people in the world than him.

Gnw2012. The only reason these loaners came here is because no club in England would entertain them,reason being they are injury prone,good players no doubt ,but it's like waring a wrist watch that doesn't work,pointless.

These players are young, hungry and eager to prove something. None of that can be said about any of our current players at the moment. Our squad needed refreshing, it needed younger bodies, and it needed it all over the pitch. Hopefully we'll not be seeing Smith, Black, Foster or Hutton in the team as much now, to name a few.
