Rangers Next New Manager

Celtic/Utd/St Johnstone/Cally jags/Rangers/Hibs/Hearts, I bet most wouldn't get St Jonhstone or the cally jags
 
Not sure what the Scottish Cup has to do with it - it’s a Cup Comp which always throws up different winners

Looking at this all in a different way

Tonight driving home all the talk on 5 live and talksport all the talk is about Scottish Football - and it’s no doubt around Europe - the reason why - Gerrard , he was a massive player in Europe and worldwide and now him getting the job has created a massive interest in what’s going to happen - that must be good for the league. He may well attract more viewers and sponsors to Rangers to start with and if he does well to the league as a whole

This could be a very good thing for Scottish Football

When my Dad was stationed in Buchan from 82 -86 we all took a little shine to Aberdeen - the schools around where buzzing about their UEFA Cup run especially when they beat Bayern was it ? Semis or quarters and the team at the time was just superb but then they all left to go to various teams. It would be great if a team like Aberdeen or any of the Edinburgh teams gave the Old Firm a really good go but it must be so hard doing it with prob a tenth of what Celtic can work with in regards facilities and funds. But ill always keep an eye out for Aberdeens results.

Ahem. Cup winners cup. 😀 That team was an absolute stonker. Would walk the league now by about 50 points.

Anyway can't remember how long it was possibly 8 years ago that Hearts split the old firm and ran Celtic very close.

Also why it's been on talk sport etc is that Rangers are a massive club, as much as it pains me to say it, and they've just appointed an unproven English manager. Disaster waiting to happen.

I'd have preferred it if both the old firm had gone to England rather than bringing an English manager here. That would have been the best thing for Scottish football.

Sorry Cup Winners -

I’m not sure if it will be a disaster tbh - he is going to be backed by them , he isn’t the first English manager they have taken as their first job , I don’t think people will expect him to win the league first season which will give him a bit of time , I think he will get a few of the better young players from Liverpool

As for Celtic and Rangers leaving to English football - don’t see it ever happening .

But I do think there should be a Cup between the two leagues instead by of maybe the league cup ?

So which English manager went to Rangers as his first managerial job?

Apologies I thought it was Warburtona first managerial role and he came from coaching

Listening to a lot of the guys speaking both on talksport and they all dismissed the instant dooming of Gerrard going there

It could well be exactly what Scottish Football needs and exactly what Celtic needs

Maybe so, he's got 3 season's to stop the inevitable 10 in a row happening. I don't see it stopping anytime soon. Celtic stopped Rangers doing it with a very shrewd Dutch man and a signing no one thought would have become a legend in Henrik Larsson, I don't think Gerrard has that experience and yes he could get lucky signing wise but a signing like Larsson was to Celtic would cost over £10m and Rangers can't spend £1m

He wouldn’t go there if he hasn’t been given any financial backing from somewhere - and whilst it’s his first job his name is still massive in football and over the last decade or so a good number of players have taken high profile jobs and been able to attract players - can see a decent amount of players wanting to play for both Rangers and him. Plus what’s also not been mentioned is the guy he hasn’t brought in to help him and I reckon someone like Evans may well also help out.

But there is going to be a lot of interest on the league in the coming season which can only be good for the league

Did Souness win in his first season as manager ? Who knows also with the chance that Rodgers may leave
 
Rangers are still losing money year on year and getting by on "soft" loans from a few members of the Rangers board.

Will be interesting to see where the cash is gonna come from to re-build the squad in an attempt to close the gap to Celtic.
 
As a neutral, it seems a very big decision on behalf of the club and Gerrard. Certainly a big job to take on as your first role and you only have to look at Valencia to see that having a successful career is not guaranteed to make the transition a smooth one especially in a different league. Do Rangers have any cash at all for signings? If not, or not much it seems a big ask to expect him to break the Celtic dominance and how far behind are the likes of Hibs or Aberdeen as being the biggest contenders and do they themselves have the cash to invest next season?

How do you square that to the fact that attendance figures at Scotland league games are now the highest they have ever been.

Ha ha. They've not got a clue what they're saying to each other.
 
I wonder if they'll start selling L'pool & Rangers half & half scarves outside Anfield next home game :lol:

I personally think SG will attract players himself, just like when Hoddle got us playing football and ask Ruud to join us and he them in-turn attracted players, and the rest is history as they say. It all has to start somewhere, again, and I think this appointment could be the start of a rising of the phoenix for Rangers.

Shame that it’s just nothing but a load of religious nonsense in that thread - quite sad that even the fans of the club he has just took over are bringing it up - what a sad pathetic state of affairs. Got a great chance to improve things but I have no doubt there will always be some who bring up religion or what nationality he is - quite pathetic.

There is a key difference there and it starts with M and ends in ONEY

Rangers haven't got the finance available to pay Premier League or even Championship stars the wages they'll expect unless they are happy with £10-£15k a week.
