Rangers Next New Manager

[Robster59]

Is part of the reason that Rangers are looking at Gerrard is that for many managers at the moment Rangers is seen as a poisoned chalice. The club is still in a mess at the moment with so much going on in the background which is why, maybe, more experienced managers look at the job and say "No thanks!"

Not much better these days than back in the dark times of 2012. At least the big house is still open (though it's getting a bit tatty round the edges)

Gerrard shouldn't go near Edmiston Drive

 

[HowlingGale]

You know nothing. He came back to England, managed Tranmere and then................oh yeah, you have a point

Ha. Didn't know he went to Tranmere. Says it all really. Great, great player but...

Played 11, lost 8, won 2, drew 1. Yikes. He went there with Jason McAteer and I suspect the wage bill for those two would have been pretty hefty. You have to win big if you are getting big bucks.

Yep they lost a Cup game against a lower league team - name me a manager who hasn’t




His win percentage was better than the guy he replaced and also other notable managers over that period. Factually you are wrong

who's the better managee
klopp at Liverpool
or
pochetino at spurs

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Whoever gets the job they are still 3rd choice behind McInnes and Clarke.

Trying to think of a UK 'star' player who ended up as a league winning manager.

Funnily enough all ex Liverpool players.........Keegan, Souness and Dalgliesh.

I actually think there's no way SG can lose on this

If the unlikely happens and he turns things round he'd be a hero
If things don't move forward it'll certainly be blamed on budget/board etc etc as is normal for this wackadoodle club in recent years and his reputation is still intact
Either of the above still gives SG experience in a non-competitive senior league (which I'll boldly claim is better than his under 18's experience)

Rangers can (and probably will) lose out big time with him as a managerial appointment but SG can't really fall on his face on this one

Err no. You're forgetting, in England, winning in Scotland is something your granny's guide dog could do if you're with Celtic or Attila's mob. If he fails at Sevco, he'll have problems ever getting a job in the most over-rated league in the world.

 

[HughJars]

0-4, 0-5, I wonder if Celtic are winding up their ugly sister for a 0-6 Scottish Cup final.

Even the SFA couldn't pull off that fix. I think the steelmen (hope I can use that word here?) might have an issue there.

 

[IanM]

I wonder if Liverpool's under 18s would beat the current Rangers first team?

The protracted talks will be about three things:

1) Transfer budget
2) Transfer budget
3) Transfer budget

 

[Jacko_G]

I'd have more respect if they repaid the £72 million they owe the tax man.

 

[Foxholer]

Er...No they don't!

If you don't agree, then kindly define how (the current) Rangers owe that amount!

Oh deary me..........someone is not happy.

[USER1999]

When did the hastilly renamed The Rangers become Rangers again?

About the same time they gave up their trophy cabinet, and paid off all their debts, I'm guessing.

Thread about to be closed.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

King desperately scrambling about for new investors to pay Gerrard's contract conditions.
With his former financial record that will be a tough call.

This will end in tears, and probably a similar outcome to Murray's tenure.

What's that all about? Must pop over to see what the Bears are saying on their forum...they'll know

And I've pretty much given up on the The Rangers thing. They are in such a sorry state it feels cruel to keep kicking - as much as they (as part of the OF) would have dumped the rest of Scottish football for a wider European league - and I suspect still would if they could. So my sympathies are very limited and they are largely for my bro and niece in their misery as ST holders

Apparently Gerrard has shook hands on a 3 year deal to take over as Rangers manager, due to be confirmed officially tomorrow.

Crazy appointment, not what Rangers need just now

Each to their own but I think Gerrard is nuts taking the job.

Had a wee smile when a fan said, do they realise they'd be appointing a non-English speaking manager!
