McInnes it is not - Staying with the sheep

[Tubby_Tarzan91]

Pretty sure I heard on the radio coming into work there that Del boy is expected to take Aberdeens pre game press conference today.

 

[Bouncebackability]

Stewart Robertson - "Derek, Tony. Welcome. We'd like you to become the new Rangers management team."
DM - "Hell yeah. When can we start?"
TD - "Abso... (phone rings)...sorry, need to take this....Hello...Hello...Ma?..yes Ma, meeting them now...but...Ma....Ma...but...but....put Da on....put Da on....PUT MA DA OAN... (waves apologetically at Stewart and DM)..sorry guys, won't be a minute...Hello...Hello..Da...yes...Da...no...Da list...Da no...but listen....but....put wee Sean on....Da...Da....put wee Sean on...."

That’s the spirit Docherty.

 

[Union Jack 1872]

I'm hanging on to the hope that the Ferguson stuff is just paper talk.

It’s not mate , McInnes and the others are a certainty Ferguson still has a bit to go.

 

[Recoba]

Another day of conflicting stories......lets get to it

 

[Union Jack 1872]

Another 48 hours you say?

Possibly, McInnes will be in the Stand on Saturday with Murty in charge one more time .

 

[Union Jack 1872]

Two moderators (Empire and DocStone) have posted on here umpteen times that Ferguson is NOT going to be part of any backroom team so stop trying to spread this nonsense.

Well mate I can only tell you what I’ve been told and the source is good although Ferguson isn’t a certainty yet but the rest are.

 

[Badboy]

My only concern is that if the rumours are true of the assistant manager having staunch republican leanings then we should be saying that DM is welcome however he's not. This rumour, if true, could come back and bite him on the erse. This is the Glasgow fishbowl. There are no levels people won't go to to get a story.

 

[chateaubleu]

Here's hoping it's done today.

 

[Virgil Hilts]

Possibly, McInnes will be in the Stand on Saturday with Murty in charge one more time .

If G M's going to be in charge on Saturday, I'd sooner this dragged out until after the sheep's game on Friday night.

 

[Teddyjohn]

Well mate I can only tell you what I’ve been told and the source is good although Ferguson isn’t a certainty yet but the rest are.

It's common knowledge at this point that McInnes is a certainty and that it's highly likely he'll bring his own backroom staff, however Ferguson is not going to be part of anything.

 

[Fat_zidane]

Bringing Ferguson back to Rangers is like a married man bringing his ex bird into the marital home to help raise his kids.

The wife doesn't understand it, the ex just happened to be an excellent ride once upon a time, and the mad bitch as her eyes on the master bedroom.

The pool of talent open to us really is limited if this is the peak of our aspirations. Or the people that run our football club and our Manager to be are totally clueless.

Cantona, is that you?

 

[Nerf Herder]

Today's got to be the day.... right?

Right??

 

[Union Jack 1872]

What a lot of shite. Stuff like this should see the thread locked. Just such obvious lies

Ok mate you believe what you want not going to argue with you .

McInnes , Docherty and Marshall have all agreed to sign up a few things are still being ironed out between us and Dolly and I have no idea what the Ferguson hold up is as I was only told he wasn’t a 100% but McInnes wants him .

 

[Union Jack 1872]

Ferguson is NOT coming to Rangers.

McInnes does NOT want him.

FACT

Not what I’ve been told just because you say fact doesn’t mean it is .

I don’t want Ferguson but only passing what I’ve been told .

 

[Union Jack 1872]

If G M's going to be in charge on Saturday, I'd sooner this dragged out until after the sheep's game on Friday night.

Barry Robson is taking the press duties and team for Friday ,

McInnes is done with Aberdeen .

 

[interbear]

I have known Tony Docherty for 25 years - he is not "Selik Minded" - when I worked beside him all those years ago his passion was Football - Football development with a love of the game and not one club !!!
He is a gem of a guy - and no, I am not a "timposter" !
There are some mischief makers here s we all know trying to upset the applecart - but trust me Docherty is a class coach and was rated as a top coach at a very young age - , McInnes saw his ability and has stuck by him !!!

Encouraging reading and good to see someone with actual knowledge of the man rather than the knee jerk reaction of some.

 

[Dave570]

Anyone else think it is a bit of a coincidence that Pedro started his new job today,and we go for Mcinnes?Was he on gardening leave and gets a start so we don’t pay his compo?was that what the board were waiting for?

Oh good I love a good conspiracy theory.

 

[Hemdani]

Please stop comparing McCann to Docherty, McCann wasn't and never will be an attendee of sectarian organised nights.

Can you back that up?

Probably not, as you still haven’t backed up your “O’Halloran still goes to the Piggery” claims.

 

[Union Jack 1872]

It's common knowledge at this point that McInnes is a certainty and that it's highly likely he'll bring his own backroom staff, however Ferguson is not going to be part of anything.

Won’t argue with you mate let’s just wait and see ,

I think Ferguson would be a terrible appointment and would much rather JJ was kept by I’ve been told he’s dropping down to the U20s and Ferguson has been lined up for his job.

 

[Virgil Hilts]

Barry Robson is taking the press duties and team for Friday ,

McInnes is done with Aberdeen .

Cheers U J.

It's all very confusing.

 

[RFC_Champions]

My source tells me the 7th Dec is “the day”.....

If it’s not today it’ll be the 8th, 9th or 10th..... maybe even next week.

Take it or leave it. I’m just passing on what I’ve been told.

 

[Union Jack 1872]

Cheers U J.

It's all very confusing.

I was told last night off a very good source everything I’ve posted.

The Ferguson stuff is a bit more vague but I have no doubt about the rest all being done .

 

[Lossie Bear]

Are you ITK????

 

[Virgil Hilts]

I'll be very disappointed if the B F' part comes to fruition.

Thanks again.

 

[Mr. Blue]

Hopefully the Ferguson rumours are fake news

 

[RFC_Champions]

Are you ITK????

“Just passing on what I’ve been told”

If I’m right then that’s good. If I’m wrong “it’s no ma fault coz I was just passing on what I was told”

 

[Union Jack 1872]

I'll be very disappointed if the B F' part comes to fruition.

Thanks again.

That makes 2 of us he shouldn’t be anywhere near Ibrox in any official capacity.

Your source could be correct as it will be done by the weekend.

 

[Cobra_1972_]

Can’t wait until this is all over and we can focus on going forward in the new era.

 

[Virgil Hilts]

That makes 2 of us he shouldn’t be anywhere near Ibrox in any official capacity.

I'd be surprised if the board would want B F for a number of reasons.

 

[Meldy]

Ferguson is NOT coming to Rangers.

McInnes does NOT want him.

FACT

THANK F@CK

 

[BrownBrogues]

Be very surprised if Ferguson got a job after publicly criticising the board for the time taken to appoint a Manager. Not really a good starting points, however being of a similar age, he and I have some mutual friends and they say it's on the cards if McInnes comes in. . I don't know if that's Barry's wishful thinking or if it has been discussed.

 

[Drumchapel-Bear]

It has always puzzled me if Barry really is as bad an influence as folk on here would make you believe, why just about every manager at every club he's played for has made him captain?

 

[Union Jack 1872]

I'd be surprised if the board would want B F for a number of reasons.

I totally agree hopefully that bit isn’t correct but nothing would surprise me.

As I said the Ferguson info was far more sketchy but it was passed off as fact that Murty and JJ were going back to the U20s

 

[NsKMaDBaDGer]

Second is now acceptable is it.seems your thinking is in line with the boards.

Its not acceptable, but it is realistic given the stage we are at in our return to the top.

 

[Virgil Hilts]

I totally agree hopefully that bit isn’t correct but nothing would surprise me.

We should find out soon U J.

Cheers

 

[Riccles]

I'd be surprised if the board would want B F for a number of reasons.

Apparently it's got nothing to do with the board or the fans, if the new manager wants it, the new manager gets it.

Probably the end of the DoF also.....

 

[Haining84]

Apparently it's got nothing to do with the board or the fans, if the new manager wants it, the new manager gets it.

Why would it be the end of the DoF?

 

[bornabluenose]

Second is now acceptable is it.seems your thinking is in line with the boards.

No mate , it's reluctantly pragmatic.

The day we see it as acceptable is the day we are no longer Rangers.

We will win 55 but it may just take a few more steps to get there.

 

[Scottya86]

I totally agree hopefully that bit isn’t correct but nothing would surprise me.

As I said the Ferguson info was far more sketchy but it was passed off as fact that Murty and JJ were going back to the U20s

I really hope JJ doesn't bumped off for Ferguson but maybe Murty has requested JJ goes down and helps him as they seem to have a good working relationship?

 

[Riccles]

Its not acceptable, but it is realistic given the stage we are at in our return to the top.

Second place is not acceptable, and should never be our goal.

And realism should never be part of being a football fan.....we hope against hope if we have to

 

[Riccles]

Why would it be the end of the DoF?

It's been quoted a few times that McInnes does not like the DoF concept and prefers total control.

This could be rubbish. I'm only going by comments made on here.....

 

[Haining84]

The DoF is going nowhere and outlined at the AGM he is here to assist and lay foundations down.

 

[King Kenny Miller]

It has always puzzled me if Barry really is as bad an influence as folk on here would make you believe, why just about every manager at every club he's played for has made him captain?

The abuse Barry Ferguson gets on here is truly beyond me. I just don't get it.

Me? I love the wee guy.

Would I like to see him back at Rangers as part of the new backroom team? Absolutely!

Will it happen? I don't think so.

 

[Union Jack 1872]

I really hope JJ doesn't bumped off for Ferguson but maybe Murty has requested JJ goes down and helps him as they seem to have a good working relationship?

I think it’s more the fact that JJ is a good coach with a good attitude and they don’t want to lose him .

 

[SuperGers07]

It has always puzzled me if Barry really is as bad an influence as folk on here would make you believe, why just about every manager at every club he's played for has made him captain?

He was stripped of it twice at the club it mattered most to him.

 

[RangersEasyOK]

Apparently it's got nothing to do with the board or the fans, if the new manager wants it, the new manager gets it.

Probably the end of the DoF also.....

Seriously how can you just come to these mental conclusions ?

 

[Butcher6]

So we now have Barry Ferguson coming but he's bad. JJ to be maybe going because of bad Barry. Now McInnes will get rid if the DOF who has put him up as the best candidate because he doesn't like them

This thread is awesome mental but awesome.

 

[Northhiglander]

The abuse Barry Ferguson gets on here is truly beyond me. I just don't get it.

Me? I love the wee guy.

Would I like to see him back at Rangers as part of the new backroom team? Absolutely!

Will it happen? I don't think so.

You don’t get it? What bit of do you not get? He is a treacherous wee sod that should be chased from Ibrox

 

[Torque_87]

Here's hoping we get confirmation today. If the Sheep have their pre match presser today you'd like to think it'll be sorted for then one way or another.
