Think the H&H reaction pod was interesting.

David and Cammy specifically with the point about how the new manager should be changing the dressing room culture, and people like Jack, Tavernier, Goldson and Barisic being picked based on what they can currently offer is opposed to what they’ve done in the past.
 
I’ve got zero enthusiasm for this managerial search.
A change of gaffer isn’t going to fix things long term.
We might get a bounce for a few months, perhaps win the LC.

The issues with the club go far beyond the man in the dugout.

I’ve been saying it since the end of last season, I’ll get excited again when I’m given something to be excited about.
 
I'd like to put it another way, I'd like the successful candidate to meet the below criteria.

- have been an ex player at a decent level.
- have won at least one competitive league as a manager and other trophies.
- have managed for several years , ideally at more than one big club in which they were successful.
- have a clear tactical understanding of the game as demonstrated by previous teams they have managed, changes they`ve made having worked, different formations for different opposition having worked.
- having been successful at making players better than when they first found/signed them.
- working with youth and making them better.
- to speak fluent English.

I do not believe it is a pipe dream for us to sign a manager who meets all these criteria and I understand some of these will be less important than others.
 
Tin hat firmly on
I know it's a friend of a freind of my auntie's dug syndrome & even then it's unreliable gossip at best

But it's come from a neighbour who's got one son playing in non-league & another in WHUFC's youth academy
He also helps run local youth sides & is on nodding aquaintance with a number of other London club youth coaches / scouts etc.

Anyway he won't claim to be in the know - & says it's from an unsubstantiated source - but he has heard a whisper that Frank Lampard is going to throw his hat in the ring for our vacancy

Probably a load of $hite
I can't see it myself & I'm not sure what he'd be like - but I'm only repeating what was said

Anyway I notice FL is a studio guest on Sky for the Fulham V Chelsea match tonight - I hope someone asks him the question - even if I don't expect a clear answer
 
i'm not knowledgable enough to pick a certain manager
but i simply do not want a lazy

"knows Scottish football" - usually a loser
"knows the club" - had that, failed.

i just want a winner who will advance us - not leave us here this time next year

That’s kind of where I am.

The footballing side of our club is in dire need of focus, vision and leadership at the Executive levels.

Until this is sorted changing the manager will solve little, unless the manager that is brought in is high profile enough to be allowed to make all the changes necessary.

Spot on , a culture change is what is needed

It's the same snobbery from posters who think that fergusson and Shankland weren't good enough for us.

It's not snobbery, I'm just putting some balance out there to the thought that Rangers are well beneath the likes of Potter. Potter took two steps backwards at Chelsea.
 
I hope we consider Bo Svensson, Mainz manager. Admittedly not had the best start to the season but has had Mainz overperforming the last couple of years.

I'd like Potter but all the chat seems to be that he wouldn't entertain it. No doubt he's still being paid a fortune by Chelsea.

From the list I've went Gallardo, wanted him after Gio when he was ready to leave River. Think he's out of our league though.
Jansen seems a good shout and with deBoer (was spot on about Dessers) and Numan hyping him up might be worth looking at.

I think the wages he is looking for , for his first european job means he wont be under consideration unfortunately.

Think he would also be looking for a fairly hefty transfer budget.

We can dream though :))

Potter is a fucking wet wipe who would absolutely disintegrate in our environment.

In any event, he's already ruled himself out and we shouldn't even be considering him in the first place. He's an absolute fucking shitebag.
 
RangersRhapsody said:
I agree mate, just saying out loud he needs to realise he isn't yet Guardiola.
Done well at Brighton. Failed at Chelsea.
Rangers would be a good fit for him. He could have silverware and European success under his belt in short order.

If he gets us playing like he had Brighton playing in 2019, it might just work.
 
For me it doesn’t matter who the next manager is as he’s still to work with the current group of players,Thursday should be fine as we are away from home but the next home game is vitally important to SD because these same players absolutely cannot handle an angry Ibrox,hopefully the fans will be a bit more understanding of what’s going on but I doubt it very much.
 
People have called it parochial for me saying it but I genuinely don’t give a %^*& anymore and each time I say it, I’m always proved to be right.

Whoever it is for me needs to have someone in the coaching set up who has played and won at our club. We are unique. People who haven’t lived it on the park cannot relate to what it’s actually like.

They need someone with them explaining all the intricacies that comes with being a Rangers player and more importantly being one that wins.

I banged the drum with Beale to have it and I banged it with Gio and both ended in failure. Gio needed it because he’d been away from our game for over 20 years and the landscape had changed so much. We have a squad that includes serial losers which wont go anywhere else soon and are failing us each and every season.

People will scoff at this but any character at Rangers around the team and players have been removed by the last regime up there and now by the new one. It’s needed more than ever. I am sick to the back teeth of laptop coaches and failed captains trying to tell our players current or old what playing for Rangers is all about.

Because nobody wants him :D

I would take him……however

It would be when the Japanese season finishes in 6 weeks, and then only a contract until the summer to see how he goes.

Unlikely he would go for such a deal, but we need to take both time to appoint someone and protect ourselves from the possibility it goes tits up and we have another compo payout

Name me a single club that doesn't think they are unique? That doesn't think that they are special.
 
Might as well have Muscat as manager and Bocanegra as DoF.

2 of my least favourite Rangers players of all time.
 
I know it won’t happen but I’d love Steven Davis and Alex Rae to do really well and turn things around. Davis although softly spoken has a real steely determination and won’t be messed with.

Not many clubs who would deem a manager with a 71% win rate a failure and sack him 2 months into a season. (Which was right)

The win rate and results were not the problem per say. The football being produced was the problem. If it had continued we would have ended up mid table at best.

Does Muscat not fit most if not all of these?

you know this how ? he comes across as quiet and not the kinda guy that tells players a few home truths
 
Empire said:
That’s bait.

In all seriousness he would be perfect but I think there’s too many things to stop it being him.

Kevin Thomson would be possible and I’ll get heat for saying this but I’d even like to see Maurice Ross involved in the coaching staff.

id be happy with Thomson

I guess your thinking along the lines of Thomson

So your suggesting that if Beale had someone like him on his coaching staff we wouldn't be in this knot?

Thomson (as the example) would have no say in his diabolical transfers, tactics, subs etc. Would he have choke slammed him for subbing James Sands on v Celtic in January or what?

He would however 'get it'

Small minded farcical outlook
 
It is always going to be gamble, no matter whom we choose. Look at Ten Haag at Man U, or what happened to Potter at Chelsea. I didn’t expect the player who scored the vital goal against Dunfermline in 2003 to be such a managerial success at Arsenal. My vote went to Jansen. Knutsen would be my 2nd choice. Both affordable. Potter not.

I know the guy that sacked Ross from one of his last jobs

He was a complete and utter clown didn't turn up etc

I've heard him speak since and sounds the opposite maybe he's matured
 
who the fans want and who our new manager be are 2 different things, the board sees differently from the fans, and i dread to think who they will employ, most likely the cheap option
 
A lot depends on whether the new man will be able to work within the current set up or not. No DOF, slimmed down under performing scouting dept. and an academy that isn’t exactly renowned for bringing through talent. Add to that the state of the squad at present and financial limitations. It’s a tough one to get right.

He didn't say it would solve every issue, just that it could be a benefit.

Beale was inexperienced himself and surrounded himself with laptop coaches who's only experience was working with English lower league clubs with no expectations (I know Banfield worked at Arsenal, but %^*& knows how). That's why he'd sit in press conferences and say things like he couldn't understand the booing at half time on Saturday when we were 1-0 down to a dire Aberdeen side and about to go 7 points behind in the league.

I don't care if it's a Rangers da thing to say, but we 100% do need guys involved who know what it's all about.
