Reading have been struggling for some time and change there is possible. Given that Murty does not have the Rangers job on a permanent basis would he leave us for a permanent job with them in the Championship.
Can't ever see the manager of Rangers entertaining someone like Reading.
Unless of course he was struggling here.
Unless things go drastically wrong between now and the end of the season, then Murty will be our manager next season.
I'm sure it's a cert.Unless things go drastically wrong between now and the end of the season, then Murty will be our manager next season.
If he gets the word that the club is thinking about someone else he would be daft not to go - if Reading are interested of course.
I think he is a Reading man at heart in the same way the Gough would be a Rangers man, Steve Bruce a Man Utd man etc. I don't think he will ever be seen as "The Rangers Manager", he will always be covering the job until we get a proper manager.

Nope
Nope just someone like Forrest.
Maybe not today but if the vacancy arose later in the season, and Murty hadn’t been appointed, permanently, I guess he’d have to consider it.Reading have been struggling for some time and change there is possible.

I can't agree with that at all. He has it ALL to prove still. He needs to win the Scottish Cup and clinch 2nd in the league.

Would be unwise not to.

Reading fans absolutely adore Murty, he spent 11 years there and if it becomes available and Rangers don’t offer him a permanent job (and he wants a managerial role rather than reverting to a youth coaching position) then it would throw up the very situation that our Board should be considering right now.
Assuming that Murty will stay around regardless would be foolish, his reputation is growing as a result of what is happening at Rangers just now. Someone will go for him, the club needs to be ready to mitigate that.
Is his reputation growing? He has taken an inconsistent team and kept them predictably unpredictable. He has been backed with better players that someone else is clearly buying and yet we are still on the same points as a team that we have beaten 3 times this season. Despite the good results against the sheep and hibs away (the point at the piggery also) he has overseen losses against killie, Hamilton, hibs, St Johnstone and Dundee. I must be missing the reason why teams are going to be banging our door down.
Murty comes across as a man of principles.
I suspect he’d discuss it with the board and agree a summer release, if the option ever arose.
I like Murty. He’s handled this whole debacle really well.
Agree completely.
Whatever happens from here, Murty has done nothing for which he should be ashamed. His handling of this entire circumstance has been exemplary.
Right on the money.Why would any person leave Rangers after a successful transfer window and things starting to blend on the park?
If he even considered it I would get him to empty his desk and go. Rangers - Reading he would be a laughing stock and labled as a bottler for the rest of his career
This worries me. Just because a manager has experience doesn’t mean he’s going to walk into Rangers and take this team to the next level. It could turn to shit just as easily.I get all the different scenarios but what worries me is if he does depart all the good stuff may be undone with a new manager. We seem to be progressing and can't afford another manager taking a season to settle in.
Maybe not but we have to get into that position despite thing's looking up we still have a terrible record at Ibrox under Murty he has to change this.Can't see Reading playing in Europe every season.
He's already a legendary figure at Reading and he's doing a fantastic job managing the top team in Scotland at the drop of a hat and you can't see him being high on their wish list?Can't really sèe him being high on Readings wish list to be honest
