Your tea oot! Keown is asking for three Ibrox failures to be overturned after losing £40m

Your tea oot! Keown is asking for three Ibrox failures to be overturned after losing £40m

Despite, and partly because of, the incredible victory over Nice, Gary Keown completed the task of killing three key figures at Ibrox.

The phrase “your teas” may be new to Cyrille Dessers, Phil Clement and Nils Koppen, but the tone of today’s Daily Mail article needs no translation skills.

Desceres was effectively signed, Clement picks him, and Koppen missed two transfer windows, unable to get rid of the Nigerian or find a replacement.

Hamza Ighamane’s two goals against Nice were a real headache for most of the Bears, Morocco’s Messi failed to score in domestic football but now has three to his name in UEFA’s second-tier competition, where you are relegated after defeat. by the amount of “Dynamo” Kyiv.

The win over Nice pushed back the time frame for Clement’s removal, but that could be reinstated at any time, with today’s match against St Johnstone an option, as well as Wednesday’s home game against Kilmarnock.

Combining his anger and frustration in Daily MailKeown writes:

Clement hung his hat on Dessers and got what you’d expect in return. As for Koppen, you have to ask why he didn’t see the need for a ready-made alternative and pull Dessers.

There have been teams in Italy sniffing, although that interest has not led to a concrete offer. However, reports claim that MLS side Atlanta United paid £4.5m for him and Dessers allegedly cheated on it.

With that in mind, it seems even crazier that he was still the top option until Igamane pushed him out of the way on Thursday.

The Old Firm Cup final is in two weeks’ time and the youngster is undoubtedly now in prime position to start with Danilo as his main back-up.

Chai Desserts are finally out, but it’s too late to save the league title that slipped from the club’s grasp last season. It is too late to turn the title race into a competition. And the £40 million that could have come from Europe is also long gone.

That’s why Clement’s tea also works out, regardless of what happens in the Europa League. Whether Koppen deserved a promotion because of all of that — along with other issues related to overall recruiting and the exact degree of relevant experience on his resume — is a matter for further discussion.

By the way, there will be a general meeting of the club on Thursday, where the Belgian and other top bananas will be open to questioning about all this and more.

The floor is yours, Rangers fans. Don’t miss an open goal like Cyrille does.

Wins against St Johnstone and Kilmarnock this week will ensure a show of dignity and respect for the chairman, manager and Mr Graham Park at Thursday’s AGM.

Failing to take six points will see the anger levels return to normal, but with long-term contracts, getting rid of Clement, Dessers and Koppen will be a very expensive proposition.

Since Clement’s appointment at Ibrox, both Mickey Beale and Giovanni van Bronckhorst have been appointed and dismissed from new management roles.
