Rangers Manager Poll

23 Apr 2018 22:46:54
Neither!

24 Apr 2018 06:58:36
A big name hardly mentioned on here,
whom i noticed in the betting, was michael laudrup! He was tremendous at swansea, with a very pleasing on the eye, brand of football! He was also tactically astute! He most certainly is a big named manager that's for sure! He could attract players with his standing in the game!

24 Apr 2018 11:29:34
They are all half decent manager to be honest. Warnock would make us very hard to beat where as the other like more attacking play.

23 Apr 2018 19:17:23
De Boer is not the answer. Another shot in the dark.

Get money on the table and go for someone like Benitez, Dychr or Warnock. That’s the ilk of manager we need.

Now before you all shoot that down.

If Benitez is happy just keeping Newcastle up then that’s his choice, Dyche will see how loyal Burnley are, when next season they don’t get off to a flier (just ask Ranieri)

I’d enquire see if they have the bottle to come here and stop them for 10in a row. That would be a better legacy than a one season wonder or continued finishing just above safety.

Plus we could offer them Europe (if we achieve it) huge home crowds and the whole media swarming that being manager of Rangers is.

Whatever will be will be I guess, but we need a decent manager and funds.

If we continue to mess about with untested managers, we are destined for years of toil.

It’s up to the board to match the fans commitment, we have to do all we can to stop them.

I’m sick listening to them, lord it up as if they’re untouchable.

Boils my blood.

Finger out King and get quality in

23 Apr 2018 20:18:52
You’re living in a dream world. Scotland is a footballing backwater that has no appeal for proven managers like Benitez or Dyche.

It has nothing to do with the boards ambition or money. if they can’t get a job in the top two English divisions then they might consider Rangers or Celtic (Rodgers is a special case with Celtic) .

23 Apr 2018 20:29:10
We have to get quality in no matter what. Managers of that ilk is who we need. If we don’t we will end up like a villa or Leeds. Rudderless every season.

Brenda is special, he knew coming here was a win win for him. We were, still are in disarray. He’s off once his legacy is done.

That’s what we need to use in attracting a manager

24 Apr 2018 01:15:55
Dyche and Benitez?

Mate, you need a reality check, big time.

Those two managers are in a job with EPL teams, it would cost us our full budget on players just paying compensation and the managers wages.

Celtic have paid a lot of money in ages for Rodgers, but you need to remember he was out a job.

A good enough manager will come, and Celtics time will come also. Nothing lasts forever. The gap IS closing, despite the disaster of the cup semi final. This time last season Celtic were nearly 30 points ahead of us. Now it’s 10.

If we get a manager that has come experience and is not totally clueless, sorts the defence, then we will challenge. Simple as that. Think about all that has happened this season and we are only 10 points behind?

24 Apr 2018 11:27:12
Villa are in the play offs this season and could possibly get promoted to the EPL wouldn’t class them as rudderless

23 Apr 2018 18:41:56
Arsenal looking at Arteta to replace Wenger, should we get in there first?

23 Apr 2018 19:53:51
Oh aye arsenal will be shaking in tgere boots rangers got in before them . Shut up were rangers for god sake . It's arsenal man .

23 Apr 2018 17:18:43
How’s the feeling of playing big Alves as a defensive centre mid against the unwashed on Sunday. he's no scared to have a dig has height strength and not afraid to have a shot at goal

23 Apr 2018 17:52:12
Alves is too slow, he can’t run I’d rather have mccrorie there or even rossiter is he’s fit

Does anyone know if he’s still turning out for the development squad?

23 Apr 2018 18:09:57
I think Alves is injured. McCrorie must be played in front of the defence. It would have to be Cardoso with Martin at the back. I'd have Holt, Dorrans, Docherty and Goss with Windass on the bench. Too much like an empty shirt most games and his decision making is shocking

23 Apr 2018 19:18:19
Alves won't be fit, chooses to hide from big games

23 Apr 2018 19:30:32
How does that work, Seeker?
Keeper
Cardoso Martin (with Tavernier and John? )
Holt Dorrans Docherty McCrorie Goss (no Candeias or Murphy)?
Striker

Right!

23 Apr 2018 22:28:22
So all the big games like Porto vs benfica and fenerbache vs galatasaray not to mention playing the full 90mins in the euro semi finals for your country can't get much of a bigger of a game than that yet he is hiding from Celtic 😂 What a load of rubbish lol he clearly got injured that game what is it with all the conspiracy theories about that it's ridiculous that means bates was hiding when he come off aswell then?

23 Apr 2018 17:09:07
Tell us how u know this bearmode?

I’m pretty sure your just guessing mate

Can’t see mcarthur wanting to play for FDB

23 Apr 2018 16:18:54
Steven Gerrard for our next mangers? bookies had him at 25/ 1 now down to 8/ 1 first time iv seen him mentioned could be a decent shout no doubt he will be a top manager one day

23 Apr 2018 16:55:12
Saw that as well I'd be astonished if we took yet another punt on an inexperienced manager no matter how good a player he was all we're doing is swopping our youth coach for Liverpools just can't see it
Somebody with more money than sense must have stuck a big bet on him to reduce odds that much

23 Apr 2018 15:52:26
I know a lot folk won't like this but Young Hardie has had a decent wee run at Livi. I'd really like to see him used next year maybe even as a third striker to come on last 20 minutes or so. Sign Cummings hopefully but my main striking option would be Moult. Tried and tested in the league.

23 Apr 2018 16:00:34
For the 1st time i prefer cummings to morales. If his teamates had better decision making cummings could of had a hatrick

23 Apr 2018 16:24:15
Don't have a problem with Cummings but he missed a one on one with the keeper. Something Morales would have been getting dogs abuse if he had done it.

23 Apr 2018 16:40:44
I’d cash in on Morales. We were always going to be a stepping stone for the lad and he’s given us a decent return but he looks like a frustrated and fed up. Moult and Cummings would trouble any defence in our league.

23 Apr 2018 17:37:22
Cummings is not worth £1mill I’m a fan of Morelos he works so hard for the team, his confidence is low at this time just like most of the team and Blueberry I agree if that one on one with keeper had been Morelos he’d have been slaughtered it was right in front of me and I knew he was going to miss it he didn’t look confident at all

23 Apr 2018 19:29:02
Morelos gets slaughtered because he's not just missed one or two chances . he has easily missed more than 10 that should have been goals. . He didn't get abuse after the first couple but his misses have got worse and worse. . Misses against the tims twice . Hibs twice . Kilmarnock . Hamilton even has cost us a lot of points. . He needs to snap out quickly whatever huff he's in because his whole demeneer at the moment isn't helping him . He's like a golfer with the yips. He's just lost it and needs to find his way again. I think he's needing a hand because of all the work he does.

23 Apr 2018 14:01:35
Has everybody forgotten that Ryan Jack will be fit again next season? Think he will be a first pick for midfield.

23 Apr 2018 15:03:55
I'll be glad he's back in regards to first pick well that will depend on the new Manager and the summer recruitment.

23 Apr 2018 15:17:40
After a really poor first season I think he’ll struggle to get on the bench next year, we just can’t have a liability in the team.

23 Apr 2018 15:35:25
When jack was fit he was good for us. he's been injuried since Oct / nov can’t say he’s had a poor season

I would have jack in my team before holt, halillday and Goss

23 Apr 2018 15:46:26
Jcgers totally agree with u, goss will be gone, mb Halliday, holt good squad player

23 Apr 2018 15:58:08
Think he is a great option but not necessarily a first choice. CDM fight for a place between McCrorrie and him I think and that depth is a good thing. Throw Rossiter into that mix aswell. Think we have invested too much in him to discard him just yet and from what I’ve heard and read since he has been playing in the development squad their results have take a turn for the better.

23 Apr 2018 13:40:14
Imagine, Scott Arfield, Steven Davis, mcarthur, Charlie Adam in midfield for next season - I for one would be happy with that, Brown wouldn’t be strolling around as if he owned the place

23 Apr 2018 13:43:33
What happens to Docherty and Dorrans?

23 Apr 2018 13:53:28
Charlie Adam is done mate u watched him for Stoke this year he looks like he's towing a caravan

23 Apr 2018 15:06:11
Adam and Davis are yesterdays news with NO sell on value. Neither will be back at Ibrox again in a playing capacity

23 Apr 2018 15:22:19
i don't think many gers fans would worry about sell on value if davis etc signed 2 yr deal to stop 10 in a row

23 Apr 2018 15:13:02
Charlie Adam!, are you trying to wind us up? No need for Davis either, he done great for us but at his age he’ll pick up more and more injuries.

Charlie Adam, honestly I nearly fell of my seat there.

23 Apr 2018 17:15:40
Wow - all players mentioned are EPL players, not the dross / loan signings we currently employ . All 4 would add quality to our squad and wouldn’t cost the earth . I would also add Berra, Kyle Bartley and mcburnie . If you look at our current squad it’s made up of loan signings and players who’s contracts are up or players we need to move onwards - Wallace, Herrera, Cardoso etc. it’s almost 11 players who could potentially leave. Hollow55 I’m sure Charlie Adam is concerned about you and your ability to judge his footballing ability. 😂

23 Apr 2018 17:17:20
Adam and Davis stopping 10 in a row, full moon tonight? LOL

23 Apr 2018 12:15:39
reading a lot about the managers position and I think we should be looking at Graham Potter. He's took Ostersunds from the fourth tier to the top tier and won the Swedish cup he then took them to the Europa League where he got results against top opposition including beating arsenal 2-1 at the emirates, Tactically he is incredible and his assistant is Billy Reid who has a good knowledge of the Scottish game having managed Hamilton and won MOTY award with them. Thoughts bears?

23 Apr 2018 15:28:24
Said before on here ages ago that Potter and Reid would be a good option to take on the management role with European experience, Scandinavian contacts, EPL and SPL experience. if Warnock is taken out of the running

23 Apr 2018 12:01:26
I hope the players remember all the digs and jokes made at our expense by celtic this weekend. I expect a passionate performance and hopefully a result. Let's ruin their party.

23 Apr 2018 11:04:48
Is there anyone out there who wanted to keep windass and morelos in January, that is now thinking the same as me that should cash in on them?
I feel like they are taking up really important positions for us that could be filled by someone else that could make more of an impact.

23 Apr 2018 11:32:32
Somebody would have had to have bid for them in January for us to have the option of not keeping them.

23 Apr 2018 11:54:15
I don't think we where offerd a fair sum of money for windass that why he still have him but come the summer if we can get a good offer he should be sold.
Morelos should really have been sold whith the amount offerd but i think our chairman and manager among others thought there was a genuine chance of us catching celtic so offers where rejected not a very smart move on our boards part.
Something is cleary not rite with morelos just now any good manager would be putting a arm around him and listing to him and get to the bottom of the problem for the sake of the player and the club.
But murty does not seem to be his kind of manager we need morelos back to his best to acheive a good fee or to help us challenge next year.

23 Apr 2018 12:25:18
I wanted to keep morelos
looking at it now we probably should have cashed in

he offers a lot to the team but is now lacking in goals recently
ultimately that's what he is there for.

windass can go for the right bid 1m+

23 Apr 2018 13:02:39
There was no offer for morelos mate. If there was it was certainly nowhere near 11m if there was we wouldn't have borrowed against our assets from close bros a legalised loan shark

23 Apr 2018 15:38:46
Frustrated Blue I agree totally. If we had been offered 11mill and knocked it back and took a loan against our assets then I really would be worried about people running our club.

23 Apr 2018 09:18:43
A would like rangers to use some of the kit money from hummel ie 1.5-2 million to go and attract sean dyce as manager he's been overlooked for some decent jobs in england and can only do so much with burnley we could attract him with the chance of european football and the chance to win trophies and as he played cb am sure he could sort the defence out and toughen us up he always speaks well amd seems to have good man management skills just a shout what yous think

23 Apr 2018 10:33:04
Great manager, no chance he would come though

23 Apr 2018 10:37:36
behave yourself!

23 Apr 2018 10:38:40
No chance unfortunately I’ve had the privilege to be
invited to Burnley by the owner as my mate works for him.
The chat is Burnley are scared that a top 6 club try to get him. I like you would love to see it but. These guys are on
mega bucks we could not look at that type of cash
Unfortunately

23 Apr 2018 10:39:59
Burnley looking like they may make Europe this year

23 Apr 2018 11:02:55
just think we are going to have to spend to appoint a good manager a know it won't be dyce but just putting out who a would like or that type of manager atleast don't think a foreign manager is the answer we need a tough manager to sort this mess out put fear back into out squad just can't see who it will be though just have to wait see what the board come up with

23 Apr 2018 13:52:43
Sean Dyce is a great shout Sm99! You never no as I would certainly test the water? Sill think they will go with RDB🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

23 Apr 2018 18:55:12
DOF will not have power to sign players manager doesn't want. His remit is to raise availability/ suitability to manager but final OK will still remain with manager.

23 Apr 2018 07:49:58
Wife and kids away for the weekend so I get a rare whole day in the pub. Three darkside fans, waiting for their game, and 1 of them says "I hope we get beat today Hibs will jump the Gers into second place" OK he was wrong about that . The question is I could never imagine a circumstance where I'd hope we got beat. What about the rest of you?

23 Apr 2018 10:09:01
They did move into 2nd. Only for a day, but they did.

23 Apr 2018 10:42:16
No they didn't they were level on points worse goal diff

23 Apr 2018 07:36:25
A win is a win I suppose given recent results but Morelos couldn't hit a barn door from 50 yards. Having said that, I'd like to see Morelos and Cummings start against the unwashed as the two up-front. I'd also bring back the Alves/ Cardoso pairing in defence and push McCrorie into midfield. I'd drop Windass. We must get some sort of result next weekend.
Foderingham; Tavernier, Alves, Cardoso, John; McCrorie; Dorrans, Holt, Murphy; Morelos, Cummings.

23 Apr 2018 08:04:56
Definitely need to change the shape for next week and mcrorie in holding role is an absolute must

23 Apr 2018 10:21:22
Rossiter in holding role, alves and Mccrorie CD, must drop windass. Was no existent against Hearts

23 Apr 2018 11:09:56
Rossiter hasn't played in ages, no chance you could throw him in a game like that. I'd flood the midfield and play cummings up top. Morleos head is up his arse, bench him and see if he can make an impact if he comes on later. Martin, alves at the back, mcCrorie DM, Dorrans and Doc in the middle murphy and candieas out wide, tav and john full back and Alnwich GK.
