Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


26 Apr 2018 22:37:42
Right fellow blue noses our powers to be have been roasted recently our players have been roasted and only a few years ago were was us as a club yes in the lower divisions. now were getting slated looking at a manager who has no experience at the top level. I for sure would say this over the last few years we have taken baby steps over players why because we can't go back to those dark days . this is not an easy fix but I'm excited listening to what we're hearing might happen over players and a new manager give the board the summer and I don't think we will be disappointed.



26 Apr 2018 23:08:29
Your right it is not an easy fix or a quick one and it was never going to be was always going to take time I do think tho that all this 10in a row business is putting a hell of a lot of pressure on the club think without this most people would be a least a little more patient lol

This headline.

"Steven Gerrard appointed Rangers Manager"

It has an element of pure fairy tale. Total football manager material. it oozes class and honestly no word in the English dictionary can be used to describe just how amazing it sounds.

BUT LET'S GET REAL!

as amazing as it sounds WE CANNOT TAKE A PUNT ON STEVIE G! .

If celtic had 4 in a row or 5 then MAYBE! .

BUT THE THOUGHT OF 10 IS NOW REAL WITHIN TOUCHING DISTANCE.

This next appointment will shape rangers for years to come! It can't be a punt and it can't go wrong! .

We need a big character. A leader of men. A WINNER! .

I don't care if we play long ball battling football. We just need to win games and dominate teams at ibrox.

I'm going to get slaughtered for this but try and see my logic lads

NEIL WARNOCK! . HE MAY BE THE WORST MANAGER IN TERMS OF STYLE BUT HE WILL GIVE US A WINNING TEAM!



26 Apr 2018 22:18:46
Gerrard is a winner mate, there's no doubt about that! Of course he's inexperienced but like i've said many times, every appointment is a gamble!



26 Apr 2018 22:21:02
He suppost to sign 3 yr deal



26 Apr 2018 22:25:25
I would also want Warnock but the hope that I have from all this Stevie G stuff is that i'm convinced that he will not come to Rangers if there is no money to spend. So surely if the board are indeed in talks then there must be money becoming available. I might be clutching at straws and in dreamland but my thoughts are that finally we must have a huge investment coming our way. mind u. just to burst my own bubble. . we r talking about McGregor, Arfield and McArthur who r all free transfers. . I give up, I have no idea what's happening but Gerrard will def not take the job if there is no money.



26 Apr 2018 21:20:50
Where are you hearing about Murty to Reading?



26 Apr 2018 20:37:19
Feel a bit sorry for Murty with the timing again in the build up to an old firm game but here's a question. If it is Stevie G, would we want him at the end of the season or throw him straight in for the last few games?



26 Apr 2018 21:28:07
As I understand it Murty is contracted to be in charge of the team until the end of the season?



26 Apr 2018 19:50:39
Keep hearing it worked for souness. he signed players like the England keeper England captain England right back the late great ray Wilkins and Trevor Steven to name a few, It would be great if Gerrard could sign Joe Hart. John stones Kyle walker deli Ali harry Kane. Massive risk but who would do any better right now.



26 Apr 2018 20:41:48
IF it's Gerrard all he can do, like any other manager, is sign the best we can afford and use his knowledge and skills to shape them into a team capable of beating the mhankies. That's the starting point, same as it was for Souness, for Waddell, for Symon, for Struth, for them all. Everything else follows on, positivity, European football, money, support, confidence, morale.



26 Apr 2018 21:37:26
Steven Gerard's lack of experience worries me but like every other manager that has had the privilege of running the gers I will back him 100pc if he gets the job.



26 Apr 2018 23:22:47
another agent sent in to put the final nail in



26 Apr 2018 18:39:03
Arteta just reheated the chance to be cone new manager of Arsenal. Don't think he would be a good appointment here at rangers.



26 Apr 2018 19:03:26
That's supposed to be refused hahaha and become lol



26 Apr 2018 18:10:54
Steven Gerrard. yes 100% agree that it's a massive risk for our club to take at this moment in time as he has no managerial experience. what he does have tho is a winning mentality, and a great understanding of the game at the highest level. And a point to prove.

Here's a question I've not seen asked. where does he go from us if he comes and under performs/ is a failure?

IF! he agrees to come and manage us. he knows he has to win and achieve success or else. he will never be a candidate for the Liverpool job, (the job he would die for)


In my opinion, he can only be good a appointment, Yes a risk. but for who? Rangers who have been stuck in the mud for the past 5 years or a new manager with the desire to become a premier league manager (Liverpool)



26 Apr 2018 20:32:29
Which begs the question that if he refuses the job does that mean he doesn't have confidence in his abilities to turn our fortunes around?
I for one hope he comes and he is a success.



26 Apr 2018 20:36:24
im tottally split on gerrard coming, rangers of coarse are my first love but i'm a massive liverpool fan to and we need a proven manager but part of me thinks he could be a great appointment a born winner



26 Apr 2018 17:47:32
If the core of your club is not stable it has an effect on the whole place. What an embarrassment that our internal affairs can't even be handled properly. No one can answer pfa union why the 2 players were suspended. No one knows. Clearly hung out to dry to deflect defeat . We will see how loyal this board are when murty gets the sack completely instead of going back to the under 20s. We seem to be a rudderless ship internally . What is they say they couldn't run a minodge.



26 Apr 2018 20:25:43
Are you suggesting that our “internal” affairs should be in the public domain?

This is a disciplinary issue that should not be discussed in public. when the time is right, the clubs HR people and lawyers will follow the correct employment law processes and we will hear about the result.

I can’t see Murty being dumped but I can see him moving on to a management role at a club with less profile than ours.

As for loyal. I think that the £m that they have invested or risked but giving loans to the club demonstrates a fair bit of loyalty to the club!



26 Apr 2018 20:26:23
How do you know the internal affairs aren’t being handled properly? Employment law doesn’t have many grey areas and they must justify why the 2 players have been suspended, that will happen.
That defeat couldn’t be deflected it was that bad!
Murty won’t be sacked, he will be offered his old development role and it will be upto him whether he chooses to accept it or leave and wtf is a minodge? Lol



26 Apr 2018 21:43:30
CFBear, To handle the matter of Wallace and Miller in the way it was done, the executives must feel that there was a most definite infringement of employment law, but history with Warburton etc. tells us our board have reacted before fully assessing the facts.
However, I tend to agree with DK17, that we should have people in place to ensure we are protected. I just do not have any confidence in our decision making re employees "leaving".
The way the Murty employment has been handled is a disgrace and the board should have a long, hard look at the way this man has been exposed.
As far as the loans that dk etc. have injected, there is no way that they can support the recent investment and until that is established, we will still be guessing.



26 Apr 2018 16:52:43
if it was steven gerrard and gary mcallister then i'd take that.
All these people who say we need experience we need a high profile manager. please enlighten me why anyone with these attributes would want to manage a team who is in a poorish state playing in a poor league. Just not going to happen. So get off your high horses and look at the situation with open eyes in the current climate.

yes these are risks no doubt about it. but this is where we are now.

but it is SG and GMC then these are 2 guys who would claim huge respect from players and would give some much needed life in the team.



26 Apr 2018 18:40:43
am just interested to know why you would take gerrard and mcallister Jamie ?

what have either done in management to justify anyone having faith in them - why would we possibly take another risk given previous appointments

i don’t agree we need a high profile manager but i do firmly believe we need an experienced man given size of club, weight of expectation and current state we are in

the rangers job is not for a rookie, especially not in our current predicament - sorry gerrard def not for me



26 Apr 2018 19:28:42
what experienced manager wants the job. none. apart from possibly warnock then none want it. clarke has 0 interest in rangers.

neil lennon had no experience and did very very well at celtic as much as i don't like him he is a good manager. gio took over at fyendoord had no experience. done well. and let's face it dutch league is head and shoulders above our awful league.

people have to accept our league is on a level par with Finland northern Ireland sweden norway etc.

so pray tell what experienced manager wants to come here.

personally my first choice is potter and reid but even that may be a gamble.



26 Apr 2018 19:32:00
if it is SG and GMC i would like to see someone with more experience there with them.

but as a whole they have contacts and players may well say i'd like to work with SG. Its a guess. but like i said no decent manager with experience will touch us with a barge poll. unless they they really are crazy.



26 Apr 2018 20:01:12
Trev7, You are on about an experienced man taking the job? None are out there and Stevie G would maybe put us back on map? Going down Clarke, Neal route surely can’t be an option? 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧



26 Apr 2018 20:20:05
no experirenced managers out there.

really guys

maybe high profile ones we’ve all heard of wouldn’t want to come here due to SPL ok yeah I get that fair dos but there are plenty experienced guys out there

i’m not saying we cld afford or attract a moyes or bilic or allardyce but hand in heart you’d be happy with gerrard

sorry guys respect your opinion but well just have to agree to disagree

If it is gerrard and he’s a success i’ll be first to hold my hands up i promise but not my choice



26 Apr 2018 20:30:46
bilic etc is a risk as well. always had money to spend.

look what rangers are looking
1. manager with experience
2. can manage on a shoe string budget
3. can get the best out of players
4. can work with a DOF.
please tell me one who fits that bill and is cookoo enough to work in a dieing league where teams get knocked out of first round in europe. please honestly tell me why would you come.

hence why we get gerrard etc to make a name for himself and hope.

scotland as a footballing nation has gone so backwards in the last 20 years. its is what it is.

we must try to look outside the box now and pray it works.



26 Apr 2018 22:03:31
Who did Souness manage before Rangers? erm



27 Apr 2018 00:28:20
It would be less of a gamble lads if everything behindone the scenes was rosy and there was solid foundations cor a rookie msnagerbut the whole infrastruce of our club is a mess and would be hard for even an experienced man. I hope it works but I feel it's a huge gamble.



27 Apr 2018 11:32:48
A Liverpool legend with no management experience coming to rescue one of the city's big clubs who have been down on their luck, ladies and gentlemen I give you . John Barnes, and we all know how well that worked out .



26 Apr 2018 16:07:40
Can’t believe the moaning re gerrard, he’s a winner and wants to enhance his reputation. He wouldn’t come to rangers unless he feels he can be a success which will result in him landing the Liverpool job. If we become successful as a result I can live with that.



26 Apr 2018 16:12:13
Agree totally we need to grab this with both hands it shows that we are on the way up if we can attract profiles sas soon big as his yes it's a gamble but so is Gio Van B FDB Alec Neil, warnock and the rest
I got one am excited by this potential appointment



26 Apr 2018 16:06:52
It makes sense that an appointment is imminent [ probably end of season. ] for the position of first team coach, with the signings of players in recent times and those supposedly waiting in the wings to sign.
Surely all these signings are not being brought in by the director of football, without discussing the matter with our future coach. As no matter if it is Gerrard, Murty, McCulloch or whoever they would need an input.
Also, last night I done a rough calculation on the recent input of cash and somebody [ or group. ] are funding the club in a big way. So with a couple of additions to our squad and a quality coach we will show the rest we are Simply the best.



26 Apr 2018 15:31:35
If it is that Gerrard that ends up our new manager I’ve got to ask why, yes he won everything as a player and also all his England caps but to start managing without any experience it’s a big decision for the board because it will be another clear out this season then if it go’s tits up it will be another clear out suppose we will just have to wait and see . 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧



26 Apr 2018 15:42:59
Could always ask him to play still far superior to anything we have



26 Apr 2018 16:03:59
Stevie G will not come unless we guarantee decent finances for him to shape the team. If true it’s a bold move by the board financially and I just hope it’s not an all in or bust scenario. Genius or crazy risk? I can’t make my mind up with pros n cons



26 Apr 2018 16:54:24
The prospect of SG becoming our next Manager is beginning to grow on me.

I can see so many parallels with Graeme Souness career and we all know that turned out

So, yes I can understand many bears concerns about his lack of management experience, his age, but on a positive note, he’s had the pleasure of working with some of the best coaches/ managers in the past 20 years or so.

I’d like to believe that he will have picked up more than a few tips on formations, game management and man management.

I’m old enough to have watched Rangers in the early 80’s pre - Souness and believe me it’s gone full circle.

I draw comparisons to Celtics superiority throughout the Greg/ Wallace years and the Souness Revolution that catapulted us to new heights and 54 titles

So if Stevie G is going to be our new Manager, then he’ll get my support and I hope the fans really do get behind him

It’s coming Bears. embrace it and strap yourselves in as it may be a bumpy ride. 🇬🇧🔴⚪️🔵🇬🇧

I



26 Apr 2018 17:56:00
Greyfriar, i also was going to watch rangers through the greig and big jock wallace years,1st and 2nd stint! I've been going to watch rangers for nigh on 42 years now! I can remember superbly well the revolution in 1986,when graeme souness replaced big jock wallace,
originally as our player/ manager, with walter smith as his assistant and what an appointment these 2 were! So like you mate, i can see where you're coming from, as it does draw similarities, if indeed stevie gerrard is appointed as our new manager! The same impact could also follow! You just never know! let's hope for the gerrard revolution, if he does indeed become the 18th manager of the famous glasgow rangers!



27 Apr 2018 11:36:55
Difference is souness was able to come in and buy players on a different level to anyone playing in Scotland , Gerrard won't be able to do that .



26 Apr 2018 15:00:51
I thought with the agreement arnfield, and the offers to mcgregor and MacArthur that we must be going down the road of director and head coach.

For me it's a yes to all 3 above, happy with SG and I am confident Allan has a few Centre halves lined up.

For me nothing but positives and a well done to much maligned Board.



26 Apr 2018 13:58:28
Hmm a lot seem to want Warnock, now I am in no way opposed to this his no nonsense approach may well be what we need. 69 and won nothing but very experienced. My favourite Neil also won nothing BUT experienced at the top level and still what late 30's . Gerrard no managerial experience playing legend so knows the game. let's be honest whoever we choose is a gamble. I'll just get behind my team as always.



26 Apr 2018 16:08:10
I don't see why Gerard would want the job. Its not money he's got plenty of that or that he's got a connection with us because he hasn't and even if he came up here and won league it wouldn't be noticed down south as they don't rate our football. I just don't see what is in it for him. IMO I don't think it's a good idea to go with a guy with no experience after seeing how it's panned out for Graeme Murty.



26 Apr 2018 13:00:37
Wat about louis van gaal? Came out and said had an offer he cannot refuse? A know its an i wish situation but u never know. After wat happend an man u he mite fancy a challenge up here. thoughts?

As for people sayin warnock wouldn't want it because he's takin cardiff to the epl he has said loads of times he doesn't want to manage in the epl again. So could b somethin in tht 1.



26 Apr 2018 12:43:47
Another to get chins waggin. Just read on SSN that Van Gaal has been offered a job in the last few days that's too good to turn down haha Never know bears. Thoughts?



26 Apr 2018 15:38:36
Dutch national team?



26 Apr 2018 12:36:58
I wouldn't be surprised if something is announced abou Stevie g being the new manager before game on Sunday the story seems to be gathering pace.



26 Apr 2018 12:31:41
How desperate are you getting your complaining the under 20s coach hasn't enough experience and it was to big a step up so the board apparently want to hire an under 18s coach instead a self confessed Celtic fan can't see what can go wrong myself.



26 Apr 2018 15:39:29
Think you will find Steven Gerrard is a Liverpool fan



26 Apr 2018 18:54:09
Are you comparing murty to Gerrard rang'? Gerrard that's won just about every domestic honour and is known the world over? Gerrard the well known WHAT fan, you're a joke and are making an arse of yourself now.



26 Apr 2018 22:30:13
Gerrard won everything as a player but he's nowhere near qualified as a manager. Just cause he was a great captain doesn't mean he'll transfer those skills into management.
I genuinely can't believe people are trying to justify this potential appointment



26 Apr 2018 12:20:37
Gerard could prove to be a great move if true. . Especially if his contacts open us up to some excellent loan signings from liver pool. We all said that about Mark Allan and man city and nothing happened right enough but this is a liver pool legend we are talking about. .



26 Apr 2018 12:18:43
SG would allow us to increase the demands on future sponsors for next season and beyond that if successful -the same bounce we got from Gazza. We can't afford Gazza type players so must get 'status' from elsewhere.

A young manager who is still known by young players would attract them rather than older managers.

The player we are currently connected with would seem to be more suited to a UK manager but is SG too big a risk in the light of Ally, Pedro, Warburton?



26 Apr 2018 16:01:36
Even untested as a manager Gerard would be better than Ally, Pedro and Warburton in my opinion.



26 Apr 2018 12:17:53
* Bosman, however would be happy with a few Bosnians - Sasa👌🏻



26 Apr 2018 12:12:21
Not a rumour guys just a wee thought about king being at the liverpool game could he have had a meeting with souness not sg about becoming next manager poss even the 2 of them would love that guys but maybe just wishful thinking.



26 Apr 2018 12:25:07
wishful thinking mate

it was a jolly for King

maybe he should more time at our games



26 Apr 2018 13:38:23
Maybe he was trying to get Totti. Lol!
Take it as you will



26 Apr 2018 14:40:17
Guess time will tell I seriously hope he was just watching the game and not meeting up with gerrard



26 Apr 2018 11:52:26
If stevie g fit enough role as player/ manager would be ideal with experience beside him

similar to souness/ walter set up

great player and broony for one wouldn't get near him and he would command great respect

thoughts?



26 Apr 2018 11:48:18
If it's true remember souness he came in when we were going no where massive gamble get the boots looked out Stevie the board obviously thinking it worked once try it again and we can sell season tickets.



26 Apr 2018 11:27:28
Not keen on stevie g as manager no being negative but think we need a manager with experience got to remember managing rangers is a massive task with lots of pressure no doubt as a player he managed that expectation but diffrent as a manager plus he's got to have good tactical ability can work under the best managers in the world don't mean he's going to be a good manager himself and a can't handle another mess of a season to be honest



26 Apr 2018 14:09:53
Yes I agree with your post needs to be a proven manager at the helm



26 Apr 2018 11:26:28
Hi ED,

Can we have a straight forward poll?

Gerrard Yes/ No



{Ed033's Note -


Gerrard Poll

26 Apr 2018 12:26:46
As player/ manager



26 Apr 2018 11:06:28
alot of doubters on here re gerrard however there must be new investments ent in place to make such a bold move . I can’t see him being happy with Bosnians and loan deals. If this is true i genuinely feel we have turned a corner .



26 Apr 2018 11:26:31
Bosnians😂



26 Apr 2018 11:30:02
Bosnians?



26 Apr 2018 11:32:16
I will have 2 bosnians and a happy meal



26 Apr 2018 11:35:23
Bosnians? I’d take dzeko in a heart beat.



26 Apr 2018 12:27:25
Papac No.2



26 Apr 2018 13:00:55
No spaghetti Bosnians for my tea the night again 🤣



26 Apr 2018 13:52:53
Lots of people don't want gerrard, no experience but would take arteta?



26 Apr 2018 14:11:30
The perils of predictive sex



26 Apr 2018 14:43:48
Screw that if we are talking Bosnians then give me sasa papac any day of the week



26 Apr 2018 16:04:38
the seeker - that sounds good



26 Apr 2018 10:38:42
I think Steven Gerrard would be a good appointment. Never having managed outside of the development squad is a concern since we really need to mount a serious challenge in the league and a seasoned couch is probably the best route to go down for quick success.

Having looked at the managers Gerrard has played for with club and country is pretty good. Benítez, Sven and Cappelo Dalglish houlier and Roy hodgson and more. Captain of a champion league winning team.
All of this experience at the highest levels will definitely be an asset to any football club at some point in the future who's willing to take the chance and give him the time to adapt into the role.

Got to be worth it.



26 Apr 2018 11:35:41
Irrespective he hasn't managed in major position I would be excited because think squad would play out of skin for him.



26 Apr 2018 14:13:28
I hear he favours physical types. That'll do for me. It's time we were standing up for ourselves again. Too easily bullied off the ball and kicked off the park



26 Apr 2018 10:19:37
And another thing regarding Gerrard, at least we'll finally be able to get a big name printed on the back of our strips, never thought I'd see the day I'd have Gerrard on my rangers top😉



26 Apr 2018 10:00:32
If murty doesn't have enough experience to be anywhere near the Rangers job how can Steven Gerrard suddenly be the right man. At least Murty had done a few years coaching at different levels. This just smacks of chasing a big name regardless of whether they're suitable.



26 Apr 2018 13:29:19
SG could be right man because he's played at highest level. Who has Murty played for aside Glenbuck Cherrpickers.



26 Apr 2018 22:36:10
It's got very little to do with how good a player he was. Can't argue he was a much better player than murty but how does that guarantee he'll be a better manager. Most have been clamouring for an experienced name to guide us at this tough time. People have bemoaned murty for having no experience but at least he had been a part of the Rangers set up. Gerrard is walking in from the cold



26 Apr 2018 09:58:20
As much as it's totally out of left field the idea of Stevie G with N Warnock as no.2 could work; NW at his time of life doesn't want the stresses and pressures of EPL if Cardiff go up as they will be favourites to come straight back down again, he has had documented disputes with the ownership of club and could see this as his swan song to win some titles/ cups.



26 Apr 2018 10:48:10
Neil Warnock as number 2?

There is absolutely no chance Warnock would be Gerrard's assistant. He's taking Cardiff into the EPL.



26 Apr 2018 14:50:52
Hi lads if it is SG which is looking more and more likely, then it will be McAllistar as his No 2 I'm sure. I for one would welcome SG, sure he has no experience and doesn't know Scottish football, however he has a pedigree and will attract better quality players and all players will play out their skin for him, also he is a no nonsense man, and a big name in football, Rangers need that and let's not forget Graham Souness proved it can be done. I have a feeling this is what we have been waiting for, and he will know the reasons he is there to stop 10 iar. And the bonus of the link with Liverpool can only be good for Rangers. Sorry for rabbiting on lads.



26 Apr 2018 09:19:33
The board can't win with some of you guys. You asked for a big name, you asked for a leader, and that's what we've got. He's got to have experience! Most of the other realistic candidates haven't set foot in a big club let alone know the standards required, while Gerrard has been with one since childhood and almost singlehandedly led them to European Cup glory. He also captained his country and played at World Cups. If that's not experience what is? There isn't a young player alive that wouldn't want to play for him and he would be a hero to most. Of course it's a gamble but it's also bold and progressive, and he knows our opposition as well as anyone. There are lots of positives if you decide to look for them.

Keep Believing!



26 Apr 2018 09:36:14
Just because he was a great player doesn’t mean he will be a good manager. I just think some fans believe it is a bit of a gamble and maybe think we need an experienced manager.

Great players don’t akways go on to be good managers. Our greatest player John Greig, didn’t have a great record as manager.



26 Apr 2018 09:42:04
That's a very good perspective Marv, and for what it's worth, I agree. Not sure we can afford the tried and tested, ticks all the boxes manager, but this appointment (if it happens) ticks a lot of other ones which you have mentioned.
Time will tell as they say, but one thing is certain, if he does take the job, there will be some amount of interest across the footballing world, which can only be a positive for us, no?



26 Apr 2018 09:44:01
Well said Big Marv. Gerrard is no fool and brings a world of experience. He also knows Brenda inside out.

If we pull it off he has my 100% backing.



26 Apr 2018 10:00:49
I can picture it now. 1st old firm game at parkhead next season, Celtic fans start singing you'll never walk alone and he joins in. In all seriousness though, experienced, inexperienced, I don't care, as long as they get results.



26 Apr 2018 10:05:29
I think Stevie gerrard would be a great appointment we need a man with a huge presence and that's what he has he's been there done it in football and i'm not worried about his lack of management experience who did guardiola manage before barcelona?



26 Apr 2018 09:13:46
Lots of media outlets confirming we are in talks with Gerrard, this board has not got a clue. i'm done with this nonsense.



26 Apr 2018 09:11:59
With transfer window opening at the beginning of June, do you think a new manager will be appointed very soon? As we know there needs to be major changes to the squad, so a new manager may need as long as possible in the transfer window to make the transfers that HE wants.



26 Apr 2018 09:09:39
I know we are in talks with Gerrard about becoming manager, and everyone seems to be going mental, just a thought but isn't it the norm to be interviewing candidates? Just because we're in talks it doesn't mean we will appoint him, who's to say there isn't a few potential candidates and it just so happens that he's first through the door for talks? Or he could be third, fourth for all we know, let's just see what happens before we have heart attacks bears



26 Apr 2018 09:02:16
I'd be happy with stevie Gerrard as manager. Ok he hasn't got much management experience but did soumess or Zidane or even Walter Smith and look how they have done. The guy is world class and must know what he is doing. This could be the best thing in a long time to happen at rangers



26 Apr 2018 10:07:55
Robbie, hope you are right mate, but the only problem is the other managers all had money to spend, in fact Souness bought half of the then current England team, but let's all support whoever it is



26 Apr 2018 10:16:23
Jetmayfair. The only way half the England team came up to rangers was because English clubs were banned from European competitions.



26 Apr 2018 12:10:32
Heard today gerrard, mcallister and John Hughes, park paying the wages



26 Apr 2018 08:58:49
This isn't a rumour it's just a thought, how would everyone think of Arteta as next manager.



26 Apr 2018 09:33:42
I believe he was being considered.



26 Apr 2018 08:44:22
Most major media outlets reporting were in talks with Steven Gerrard.

Nervous about this to say the least.

Being positive about it, every good manager must start somewhere, but is Rangers the place for him to find out?

If this is true, I hope that there some serious investment coming to back him, people on social media keep comparing it to Souness appointment, but look at the players he was able to sign?

Needed an experienced assistant also i'd say. (Not Nicholl) .



26 Apr 2018 09:02:43
Gary MacAllister rumoured to be part of his team. A very intelligent gentleman with top level experience and a bluenose to boot.



26 Apr 2018 14:53:18
Bigmarv82, hearing same, plus a Scottish ex manager, two names being bandied are John Hughes and jack ross



26 Apr 2018 07:45:38
Stevie g is not going to be our new manager it can’t be we can’t have a guy who has never managed a big club like ours.

This would be a massive risk and I am afraid if he does get it we may as well give the unwashed the treble again next season

I WILL NOT RENEW MY SEASON TICKET UNLESS THE BOARD GET THIS APPOINTMENT CORRECT AND I PROBABLY WONT BE THE ONLY ONE WHO FEELS LIKE THIS

DAVE KING GET A FINGER OUT AND GET EITHER

GIO VAN BRONCKHORST
FRANK DE BOER
ANDRE VILLAS BOAS


NOW



26 Apr 2018 08:03:45
Seems like deja vu if Gerard is appointed.

I remember a novice international, leader on the pitch, top of his game pro was appointed as our manager. He was still playing and made a few errors at the beginning.

If Gerard is anything like Souness there’s quite a few non renewers who are going to be wishing that they were true supporters because they won’t get their seats back anytime soon.



26 Apr 2018 08:15:39
Gvb fdb avb. Why? Gio fantastic player etc experience managing in holland pretty much same as scotland psv ajax feyenoord a monkey could lead them to top 3 fdb same done it wigh ajax won leagues inter done nothing sacked palace never won a game sacked. Avb had a few teams since appointed at chelsea and do e nothing or he would still be there so whoever the board appoint get behind them but as for the 3 u mentioned what seperates them frm gerard apart frm managerial experience. Do u think feyenoord were sayin we won't renew if gio get the job? His first job in management they've all got to start somewhere and look at gerard career speaks for itself i think he knws wat he's doing played for some great managers get your head out the clouds doesn't matter who me u or tom dick or harry want it will b who the appoint n thts that



26 Apr 2018 08:27:26
Gio n fdb didn't have much more experience than stevie g when they took charge of big teams. Souness, zidane and so on.



26 Apr 2018 08:29:25
I can see your concern but spin back 30 odd years! 36 year old player manager in Souness no managerial experience! Some times you need to gamble as for your list the only 1 to manage big clubs was AVB how's his record?



26 Apr 2018 08:28:31
with board on the brink of apointing him i can only assume he has really impressed the board in his interviews and is willing to work with a director of football.
this apointment is so strange and uncesseray by the board but they must see something they like in him.
But they don't exsactly have a good track record of chosing the right manager and i hope for the club and for them he is the right choice cause.
Gio van bronckhorst deboer boas warnock neil clark i can only assume these managers have made higher demands and asked the board a lot of questions and may not be willing to work with director of football.
When our club promised us the best manager possible i thought we would have got one of names mentioned above.
It reallt should be one of the list above.
On plus side he will know Brendans tactics inside out and may be able get the better of in next next season and he may be able attract better players i will give him my full backing but if it turns out he was the wrong choice then it needs to be the board that leave next.



26 Apr 2018 10:01:39
Same as Pedro impressed the board a will not renew honestly board out now



26 Apr 2018 11:14:48
Southsideger i think gerrard will be completly the opposite from pedro it is a gamble but i think it will work out. just hope he is getting a say on signing players.
There is no doubting he is a big name and will attract a lot of attenion will be intresting to see if he brings his own staff.
There will be a lot of fans excited at this apointment and you can garantee ibrox will be full come begning of season again.



26 Apr 2018 11:53:19
How do you know who the fight appointment will be? No one can say for certain the 3 you mention will get it right



26 Apr 2018 07:32:49
If Stevie Gerrard was going to be new manager it would have been announced he coming at end of the season! It's paper talk, The new manager will be Neil Warnock nothing being said at moment as Cardiff fighting for promotion and he don't want to derail there chances, Warnock does not want to manage in premier league again, him and Allen have spoken about targets.



26 Apr 2018 08:18:22
He signed a 2 year deal with Cardiff in February



26 Apr 2018 09:07:09
At the moment it looks like it is going to be Gerrard, with the reports of talks being held and some major betting firms now removed the betting for next manager.

Personally I don’t think this is the job for Gerrard. I think it would be a massive gamble. At this time we need an experienced manager. Maybe the board are thinking if they get this news out before Sunday’s game it might give the fans a wee boost before the game. However, if that is the case they could be wrong. There is no doubting Gerrard was a superb player, this does not mean he will automatically be a success as a manager, especially at a club like Rangers. If he is appointed, then I hope I am wrong and he does make a difference. If he gets of to a poor start, then the board can only expect fans to have more protests and stay away from games.



26 Apr 2018 07:18:28
Think about it, this Stevie G rumour about becoming the next gaffer could actually be a master stroke by the board. Gerrard played under Brenda so will know about all his tactics and behind the scenes methods. Gerrard has also been learning from a far superior manager in Klopp, so should have the know-how on how to outplay Brenda.
Gerrard will also have access to Liverpool's talent pool of players, contacts with players he has played with (Torres, out of contract at Athletico Madrid etc. ) and commands the respect of playing at the highest level possible.
This could actually work with a little patience to start with, but a good, testing pre-season will be key for the new players to bed in and hopefully progress through the Europa qualifiers



26 Apr 2018 08:23:34
Loved the Torres bit.



Review Of The Day 26th April 2018

26 Apr 2018 07:30:16
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 26th April 2018



26 Apr 2018 07:10:51
Cardiff are in a promotion battle so posts stating Warnock will be announced on Monday are off the mark. Warnock would not upset the apple cart by announcing termination of a 2020 contract from Cardiff at this stage. SG now edging further ahead. Tutoring under Benitez and Klopp and a sharp learning at MK Dons - he's a class act and would be a good appointment.



26 Apr 2018 00:40:11
According to everyone on Twitter it is indeed Stevie G. Take a minute to let that sink in!



26 Apr 2018 06:59:04
Yip BigMarv82,andy devlin from the scottish sun also reporting that stevie gerrard is the guy rangers want, to become the new rangers manager! He reports talks between both parties are very close to being finalised!



26 Apr 2018 07:32:01
He would attract a good good calibre of player but would need an experienced assistant like souness and sir walter .



26 Apr 2018 08:59:23
Gary MacAllister is rumoured to be part of his team. A very intelligent gentleman with experience at the highest level and a bluenose to boot.



25 Apr 2018 23:57:53
Looks like mcgregor and arfield deals both done and dusted. I think both will bring much needed quality. Bit gutted for fods tho as think he has been decent. What's the thoughts Bears?



26 Apr 2018 00:43:12
I think Fod is a decent shot stopper but a bombscare on crosses and doesn’t command the defence well enough apart from the odd shout of “AWAY! ”😂. McGregor far better keeper and more importantly a winner who still has a few good years left in him despite what some people think



26 Apr 2018 06:22:12
McGregor all day long he is a better keeper!



25 Apr 2018 22:07:19
I just hope that at least on Sunday we can compete and stay in the game.

Hibs and Motherwell showed if you get in about them, you stand a chance.

This is our last good chance at some redemption and too cement a grip on second spot. Desire, determination and discipline from the off.

Build the gallows bears and keep the faith.
