To me it seems like everything in the media has been misleading, nobody was ever actually offered the job (or indeed withdrew from the race so to speak) and it has in fact been Rohl from the start.

So Gerard and Muscat didn't remove themselves from the process, is that what you are saying?

If it was Rohl from the start he wouldn't have walked away because others were wanted. They would have appointed him a couple of weeks ago.

Looks like it's going to be Rohl. I feel sorry for the guy as he's not going to get given a single bit of patience. I actually believe if he was hired in the summer we wouldn't be anywhere near as bad but hiring him now to get us out of this situation, I just don't think he's going to be up to the task. Il caveat that by saying if we beat Celtic at Hamden it's a perfect chance to get everyone united behind him.

Wishy, I believe Rohl could work for Rangers right now mate.

I'm sure you said the exact same thing with Martin. Not your 1st choice but the more you read up on him the more your convinced.

20 Oct 2025 10:49:42
So anyone itk got any new info on who has been chosen?

I've not stuck my tuppence worth in about the new manager situation as I'm absolutely bewildered by what's happened to our great club! We all got a massive lift when we heard the new owners were taking over and we thought we were going to live the American dream instead so far it's been a nightmare!

I fly out to Tenerife on Saturday for my usual four week break and I said before for the first time ever I've not looked at fixtures to see what days I need to appease the good lady beforehand so I can hit Ibrox Bar and spend some time in the sun watching the footie. Whoever the new manager is he has a massive job to do just to lift the team never mind think about getting results on the park as we look totally flat and lack of any kind of spirit.

We can blame the new owners and we can also blame the two that answer to them (which I do) but as an ex player firstly I'd be looking at myself and see what part in this scenario I'm playing.

For me I think the biggest mistake we made since new owners took over was getting rid of Koppen as I truly believe he would do a far better job than Thelwell as his vision was miles ahead of this absolute charlatan.

Anyways a good few weeks in the sun away from the madness and hopefully the by the time I've came back we have a new manager and not went through another two managers by then.

I'm sure at some point Mr C and Mr M will get the right people in the right jobs to take our club forward.

Is this recruitment process really a mess or is that what the media have us all led to believe?

It's not difficult to use any situation to manipulate the narrative.
Gerrard and Muscat have their reasons for not coming - Gerrard I believe was actually to do with his backroom. Muscat may say recruitment but I actually believe the club would prefer him in now whilst he wanted the Chinese season to conclude. And having seen Saturday's second half performance I think the hierarchy are correct to try and get a manager in now rather than wait another 6 weeks.

Now, IF these reasons are correct regarding Muscat and Gerrard - these are situations the club can't control about these candidates and they can't take the role on NOW.

Now look at the media's role in all of this - their job is to sell news, increase engagement. When there is silence from Rangers and no updates, its an opportunity for the media to fill space.

Ask yourself, does the daily record, the sun and other journalists have inside knowledge of the club or do they have contacts with candidates and their agents?

Totally embarrassed to be a Rangers fan, feels like politics not a football club, people want thewell Co out but the the hierarchy will not listen
Who goes into a job knowing you want make any decisions to help make it better, no one would take that job unless there desperate.
Hard times ahead an it's only gone get worse. F. A was excited an buzzing at the start now
Would rather watch my local team than that drose.
Listen to World media an there laughing at us.
God help us because that's all we have.

Some at the club are am embarrassment but I will never be embarrassed to be a Rangers fan.
