Rangers Takeover Latest: Deal Agreed in Principle

[sammy1872]

Martin would go the same way as Warburton. It would work for a few months until teams figured us out and then he wouldn’t know how to change it. Wouldn’t surprise if we are sitting top of the league in November then fall back in the new year

 

[Rasmus Klump]

Seems to have took lessons and learned from his mistakes.

This is perhaps the most important thing we need to look for!

 

[insanicdrunk]

I wonder if the deal agreed upfront has any contingency clauses based on us winning the europa league. You would expect it has all eventualities covered but I wouldn’t out anything past this club.

Would be the most rangers thing ever for us to win the Europa league and scupper a potential takeover because the existing board get a chunk of guaranteed uefa cash and move the goal posts.

Wtf? Just what this thread needs.

Enough about Managers etc. get the thread back on topic or it’s getting locked.

His style never worked with a really poor EPL squad. It doesn’t necessarily mean his style wouldn’t work when he has one of the best squads in the league. It’s why Bayern appointed Kompany as they thought his style will work with the right quality of players.

It’s not only nature that abhors a vacuum, so does the internet.

There’s currently nothing to discuss about the takeover that hasn’t been said a million times so people will fill the thread with other stuff.

Just lock it until something of interest comes along.

 

[Mr. T.]

How would Kompany have done if he toon over, say, Dortmunf though?

It's totally different challenge we face.

Sorry, what?

 

[Quijibo]

Being refereed differently is a massive issue as well. I’d like someone to come in and be strong enough to call that out. I’m not sure Martin or any foreigner without playing in Scotland would be able to do that.

We had Walter in charge and people were still complaining about calling out refs. The fans will never get what they want in this regard.

 

[Coza]

Wtf? Just what this thread needs.

Seriously mate I’m 99% sure they will have had a price based on XYZ agreed already including outlandish stuff like we win the Europa or Domestic title.

But put it this way I’m certain the professional competence is bolstered by the other side of the deal.

Yeah I’d be absolutely astonished if we are at this stage and there’s still the ability for our current owners to suddenly pull the rug out and demand more cash.

People are naturally concerned, but I think need to take a deep breath and stay patient and positive

 

[Stone Cold]

The cheating and corruption wasn’t anywhere near as bad or as blatant than it is now though.

 

[Broonsky]

It's totally different challenge we face.

Leverkusen won the league last season, Bayern were second, but Bayern under Kompany will win it this season.
We're second this season...
Not totally different at all.

Last summer if we had appointed Kompany, what would people be saying? He also had a set way of playing that never changed no matter the opponent, and his Burnley team routinely got turned over, and they got relegated with one of the lowest ever points tally. Would we have been delighted to appoint Kompany? Would we now?

 

[ChildOfGoth]

There's several managers I'd prefer than Russell Martin, including Muscat, Schmidt, Nancy.

But dismissing him because Southampton were terrible this season is a bit short-sighted. They did nowhere near enough recruitment to survive the EPL this season and all three promoted teams are going to be relegated, just like last year, the jump is huge now. Vincent Kompany took Burnley down last season with a record low tally of points, they were a shambles, but Bayern obviously saw something in him and look at him now, top of the Bundesliga and in the Champions League QFs. I don't think Kieran McKenna is a terrible manager either, all the top clubs wanted him last year but he's about to get relegated too.

The point you are painting is while clubs are in transition then the managers are vulnerable to being blamed and ditched .

Ring my bell

Naw

 

[Jeepster]

We said that in 2008.

Walter used to get dogs abuse on here because he wouldn't come out and slaughter officials often enough. Every manager has had the same.

 

[ChildOfGoth]

the idea is surely to eventually qualify for the CL and to actually compete in it

that's where the money and return on their investment will come from

russell martin isn't going to get us into the CL

can't believe that we're actually considering it (if true)

^ this is imo the crux .

Any manager who comes in and doesn’t achieve in EL / CL is likely to be termed a failure very very quickly .

We need a manager and team who have these skill sets over all else .

 

[ChildOfGoth]

The budget we are going to have on players everybit as important.i would love for us to spend about 30 million and in the process clearing out guys like bajrami and propper.Will we spend that much who knows

Tbh I don’t either of them are the major issues they are here under the new salary regime and have value to the team . Not yet banger signings but valuable .

Certain others are more significant

 

[ChildOfGoth]

Martin is nothing like Postecoglu in style. I want a manager who plays a style like Postecoglu did as it made mincemeat of the league but Martin is miles away from being that man.

What about his European record though mate .

We can’t survive with poor results like those

 

[cooprfc]

Sorry, what?

Its quite obviously what I'm saying mate unless you can't look past a couple of one letter typos/autocorrects cos I was on my phone when I posted it. Jeez.

Aye but Bayern are financially in a different league to anyone else and them not winning the league was a bit of an anomaly. Saying Kompany is doing great because they are in the CL Quarters and top of the Bundesliga is really just par for the course for Bayern.

I wouldn't take Kompany even now. I followed him at Anderlecht and wasn't impressed, thought he did well in the Championship but didn't adapt last year and is now just doing what Bayern do no matter who is in charge (1 season out of 15 excepted).

 

[cooprfc]

Plenty managers play a style like Postecoglu for their plan A but manage success in Europe by being adaptable.

I don't want actual Postecoglu. Just that type of high energy, fairly direct, attacking play that works well in Scotland.

He didn't invent it.

 

[Now and forever]

Maybe but only if they feel Leeds and Rangers are similar, I don’t. Completely different stages of the journey, completely different challenges. Farke got Norwich out of the Championship and they’ve trusted him to do the same with Leeds, doubt they care too much about the style and will just reciprocate the style and expect it to work in Scotland

An attacking style is what is needed up here

 

[All of the Lights]

It shouldn’t be too much to ask for that we are able to adapt style between domestic and European games. It’s good management/coaching to be able to do so.

I say that knowing that not call coaches are willing to do that, but I don’t get why so many of them refuse to do so and find it difficult.

No we need a manager who will win our league as number 1 priority. We've been good in Europe under multiple managers.

Given it’s been going on since October I doubt it, also it’s not only the board that’s selling their shares. Doing something extraordinary like winning the Europa League will have no bearing on the deal.

Sounds like you have a few name’s in mind there AotL .

I reckon it ain’t simple at all . WS & DA eg spent fortunes in much more hospitable periods for us and never managed it let alone regularly.

Disagree . Even if they won the title , let’s say eg Collum Clancy Walsh all get killed in a hit on the sfa , they also need to play qualifiers now .

You can see the angle here tho top6 with StM and compete with Oaf in matches despite having a tiny proportion of the funds .

Basically the successor to the Derek McInnes fanbase

 

[jf1960]

One of the reasons Brenda wants away of course any half decent team will put them out at 1st attempt

 

[Coza]

Of course it will. The immediate cash reserves projections upon completion literally triple overnight. The future earnings (champions league cash, super cup cash) get catapulted to another stratosphere and guaranteed.

I am 99% certain the price agreed with the selling parties will have scenario based agreed outcomes. My only apprehension to say 100% is that it’s us we are taking about. The kings of a screw up.

Lock the thread until there’s an update on the actual takeover

Never understood why people get so worked up by things like this. It's a message board. People are entitled to speculate, post thoughts and, occasionally, we may get a wee snippet of info before it hits the media such as Gym Bunnys post about Martin last night.

 

[BrooklynBlue]

Why do digressions result in the threat of a thread closure?

It seems only natural that connected to the takeover, for example, would be a question of who the new owners would want as the gaffer.

Such discussion is hardly going to hide any big takeover news in the thread.

I dislike a fair few on the board for their decisions

But they wouldn't do this in general they make poor thought out decisions which is either bad timing or poor judgement or both at times but that kind vof thing isn't in the make up of what they have done
