Ultimately its the Manager's decision who gets signed; that has been well-documented by Rangers and by Mark Allen.
Getting to the point where a decision has to be taken is a 'group effort' based upon the profile of player the Club wants to recruit (@mart22 explains it well above). That provides a short-list which will, inevitably, include any names the Manager throws into the hat. The DoF works on those options and comes back with what is 'do-able'. The Manager makes the call on what his preferences are.
So, in answer to your question, the ultimate decision of who we sign - finances permitting - lies with the Manager. The Manager therefore, rightly, carries the can. As I've said earlier, if it works for some of the top Managers in the game why on earth shouldn't it work at Ibrox?
Thank you.
So we come back to the question why are we attempting pre contracts , knowing that we are changing managers. Or, worryingly, are we changing managers?
With regard to the “style” of football Rangers wants to play , each manager will have their own preference.
According to mart22, will we only appoint managers that will play the Rangers style?
