Ferguson announced.

Pantomine continues.
2.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 13:56:49
Fans will be divided again ?
Negative is he's not a good manager. Big positive is he'll go through any player that doesn't give 100%.
3.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 13:57:18
With Charai, Dodds, McCann and McGregor.
Hopefully knock some heads together in the dressing room and make Raskin captain.

This has walter smith vibes. Now we need to weed the players who are not up to it.
5.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 13:57:55
I kind of get it but at the same time it could end horribly, I'd imagine Charai will be the Beale to Ferguson's Gerrard. It can't get any worse. Surely. I don't know how many times I've said that to myself in the past few years.
6.) 24 Feb 2025

Did I see Billy Dodds mentioned, gawd help us.
7.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 14:03:06
Wishing him all the best of luck. 1st thing he needs to do is drop all those who went to the board regarding the manager and fine them 2 weeks wages and tell them insubordination will not be tolerated at this club.
8.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 14:03:54
I am done completely and utterly done.
9.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 14:04:10
'The issues facing the club run deeper than the manager'
Music to my ears.
I bet it won't take long for the new Coaching team to shine some light on the issues.
10.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 14:05:02
The loneys have taken over the asylumn, i could understand Kevin Thompson or Neil McCann. Ridiculous decision.
11.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 14:06:25
Fork, if i heard that news last night i reckon I'd be fuming, but after thinking more clearly about it day, I think his could be master plan until the end of the season mate, get them players that don't understand what representing Rangers is all about out as fast as possible.
12.) 24 Feb 2025

Big KB, unfair on sir Walter that comparison.
By half 2 Fergie will be on FaceTime to pedro saying told ye!
13.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 14:10:27
Just like we thought, the footballing department within the club is broken and not working. Time for Koppen to go aswell. The way we identify players is all wrong.
14.) 24 Feb 2025

I'm fine with this. He could be a big success, but even if not, we'll know by the end of the season which players were taking the piss.
16.) 24 Feb 2025

17.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 14:21:40
Agree mystar for all the negatives it entails at least he's going to deliver a few hard truths to some players who don't get what the club means.
18.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 14:22:16
Ferguson will give those cowards a rocket.
They won't like it.
But that's just too bad.
19.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 14:26:59
Well that let's us all know what club thinks of Thomson.
20.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 14:27:37
The poster who said Walter Smith vibes should be ashamed of themselves! :D
Look, it is what it is, playing to a portion of the fanbase who want Rangers men, on a temporary basis, till the takeover is complete. A holding pattern.
Big fan of them all as players, but Ferguson has shown himself to be an utterly terrible football manager. But I don't expect this to be a long term thing and it absolutely can't (can it! ) get any worse than what we've been watching for months.
21.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 14:27:48
Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not EHL?
22.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 14:34:18
I'm absolutely mind blown by that decision.
This decision just shows how badly we are being run.
I'm really interested to hear whose decision this is and their reasoning behind it.
Embarrassing.
23.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 14:35:16
Who was going to take it until the end of the season? With the take over looming no one of any real credibility will look at us until that has gone through. I'm glad it's someone who knows what it means to wear the shirt. Knows the club and the fans and what it means to be a Rangers player.
24.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 14:36:44
Clement should have been sacked months ago, he has no tactics and is utterly clueless on how to overturn a result,
could not the get the team disciplined the way Gerrard did, let alone the superb attacking tiki taka Gerrard and Beale had us playing, even Gio was far superior tactically to clement.
Personally i am glad he is gone, should have been done earlier and we would have still been in with a chance of the title and cups, Celtic aren't as high and mighty as they think.
Poor management, poor tactics, poor excuses, good riddance.
25.) 24 Feb 2025

Tav will soon get rid of them also.

Ehl, what is Thomson role at rangers.
He now knows what they think of him.
27.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 14:48:43
Fergie will absolutely root out who shouldn't be at the club.
28.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 14:51:34
It's evident from EHL that the culture in the team is shocking and the players are a massive part of the problem. Of course PC had to go but I think Ferguson is a great short term appointment to weed out players who don't care. We're not winning anything this season anyway so that doesn't matter, what matters is the standards of the club getting to where they should be so the new manager has a foundation to build on.
29.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 15:00:55
Stevie G, Ferguson was one of the first to go above Paul Le Guen when he was a player. not sure he has a leg to stand on.
30.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 15:05:55
Guys for god sake let's get behind our interim management team of barry ferguson, issame charai, neil mccann,
billy dodds and allan mcgregor and see what happens from now until the end of the season?I back them to the hilt and hope it works out for everyone of them, before we appoint our new permanent manager in the close season? They'll put the fight ?back into our club and leave nothing to the imagination ? I wish some would just wait and see what happens before doubting everything about these appointments ???.
31.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 15:08:28
Time for Koppen to go as well, wee question, tim Big Kris?
32.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 15:09:27
Bang on My star and i thought the exact same mate and i back them ?% for the remainder of the season and let's see what happens and these guys will instill fight into our players/ club ???.
33.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 15:09:52
For my own sanity I'm going to assume Charai is the manager and Ferguson is just the face of it.
34.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 15:14:08
Well that gets Dodds aff the telly! going 12 rounds with the English language " a cuttle of good chances there for the adecemicals " Anyway what's up with big Dunc, this board of butchers, bakers, candlestick makers, accountants, bankers and car salesmen need to get themselves to . some text missing .
35.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 15:14:44
Barry Ferguson coming in has " Walter Smith vibes "? In what way? Walter had history as a great coach before he joined us, was an legendary manager when he came back the second time and was real gentleman . In what way does Ferguson even remotely compare?
36.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 15:19:53
Guys, it's only till the end of the season and as EHL says, we will most probably find out some home truths. Don't see a big deal in it. Did people really expect us to install a perm boss right away? Mystified I am if that's the case. (In Yoda voice)
37.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 15:21:13
John that's naughty now coops will have a meltdown ?? (and this is a joke)
I have to be perfectly honest I would have kept PC till the summer of this is what was taking over ? this is not a good start for PS imo.
38.) 24 Feb 2025

I'm not comparing Fergie to Walter?? I'm comparing the return of Rangers Legends. Walter returned after the mess of PLG and Fergie returns after the mess of PC. Why should I be ashamed of myself? ???. No I'm not a tim?? Koppen identified these poor weak players. What a crazy day.
45.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 16:15:58
Storm, I too was thinking we should have kept pc for the twelve weeks,
Apparently Ferguson and his team on 25 k a week between them. Another saving for the board.
46.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 16:20:30
I don't think ANY of this lot will react to this well and if he starts to 'root out'troublemakers, non triers, and just not good enough, then God help us.
Next visit to Parkhead will be interesting, Europa bye bye.
47.) 24 Feb 2025

Mills, Stewart brought in to oversee the sale of the club. That was his role at Man Utd re Ratcliffe.
48.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 16:38:29
Ferguson, Dodd, McCann, and McGregor will make sure these players know exactly what's expected of them. They will demand the very least we fight for every single ball. That's the very least we can expect. Good balance of experience there as well, not only with our club but in our game. The biggest thing Ferguson brings is he's a born winner and leader.
49.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 16:45:15
Good luck to Bazza and his team ?.
50.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 16:47:16
John, it's not a saving if we're paying PC off.
Personally, think it was only a matter of time but would have given PC the European games given he got us there.
Suppose it would have only been delaying the inevitable.
I would add the board and CEO are putting themselves in serious jeopardy by appointing these inexperienced "coaches". Imagine the heat they will get if they get turned over by Fenerbache or worse Celtic given the last time the teams played we hammered them!
51.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 17:08:10
Given i seen a little bit of Barry's coaching when at Clyde first hand and in fairness he could've improved on that a lot since then. I'm not jumping for joy over this appointment in fact probably disappointed. I had seen better coach's at Sunday league level but as I said he obviously could've learned a lot more since then and improved given it was 10 years ago.
52.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 17:10:38
Fergie was not my first choice for interim head coach/ manager but he is here now let's get behind them. I rate McCann's football knowledge and the Moroccan coach has experience. I only hope they have the gumption to drop who needs dropped and for me play a different formation. Blooding some youth would be great.
53.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 17:21:24
They've been put in there for a reason.
there is reasoning behind it, may be that a new manager can't come til season end, or new owners haven't got one yet
The board have seen there's no real Rangers men left and acted, its a no lose situation, barry might just beat celtic, nobody knows otherwise.
54.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 17:11:58
To quote Coisty this morning, Er. I'm a little bit surprised. Let's see what happens.
55.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 17:30:47
You know I wasn't a fan of getting Ferguson but now he's in will have my full support we need to remember it's only temp and if there was ever a time for a crazy left field appointment it's now
Think McGregor return will help new team relate to squad and tell players who these guys are
McCann is good on technical side of the game.
Dodds should be able to give igamane a few pointers.
Barry not known for being likeable but is that what we really need have previous managers been too soft on these players who knows only time will tell I guess
I'm assuming they've taken really low wage and will walk away for nothing and have come to help the club and not feed off it so we should all get behind the new team they are Rangers men at heart and will do thier best.
56.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 16:32:33
Bar72, I think Europe was bye bye anyhow.
With players not responding to clement and clement just standing on the touchline doing nothing, I'd rather a manager that shouts and kicks arses when needed than someone who's an empty shirt.
57.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 17:22:10
Having heard so many whinges about foreign coaches, foreign players
etc, for several years, let's see if a wee spell of "Scottish Rangers men" who, supposedly, understand the SPFL, can therefore transform us back into a team winning games that we should be winning.
These same guys have been (as pundits) earning a decent living, so, for them, it's put up or shut up.
I'm not being negative here, I honestly do hope these guys can use their collective SPFL knowledge to turn us around.
58.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 17:24:12
John it's maybe a case of not wanting to disrupt what they're initially bringing him in for, for it to be tainted by bad results and chased from the club.

Laudruphagi… the irony of you posting about clueless is funny. I think the general view is, why Ferguson. Same here. I expect he's more of a front, like Gerrard, and the coaching side will be handled by the assistant and McCann. Billy Dodds, wow! May as well asked Rod Wallace if he was free.
62.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 18:36:06
Zikos we would still be paying PC if he was still here so what's the difference?
I have had time to think about it and we all need to get behind them.
Cheers for info John.

He reportedly took a 50% cut from his payout which at £50k per week is . £25k and exactly what new coaching team are getting.
maybe the board have a new strategy: if fans are wanting rid of a manager they threaten Ferguson again and we stick with what we have ?.
66.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 19:42:15
Can we give it a rest for crying out loud, we all wanted PC gone and he is. The club were always going to appoint an interim until end of the season and if there is a group of guys who know what playing for us means it's this lot who have come in. Not to mention backed up by a very highly regarded coach in Cherai so let's just get behind these until the summer and see what happens with the takeover and who they want on a full time basis.
67.) 24 Feb 2025
24 Feb 2025 19:51:41
FERGUSON COMPARES TO SIR WALTER IN THE SENSE OF BEING A GOOD RANGERS MAN WHO KNOWS WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE A SERIAL WINNER AT IBROX. IT IS ONLY TEMP UNTIL SUMMER SO GET BEHIND ONE OF OUR OWN.
STARTING TO THINK OUR FANS ARE NEVER HAPPY.
DO YOU'S LOOK AT THE RAIN IN THE MORNING AND ASSUME THE DAY WILL BE BAD? NO. SO GIVE ONE OF OUR GREATEST EVER CAPTAINS A CHANCE.

La cala by knowing that he's only here for the next few months he has no fear of upsetting anyone. Call him what you want but he's a born leader and he'll sniff out the charlatans straight off. Cantwell's most recent Instagram story tells us all we need to know about Tav and the "leadership" group.

I honestly don't get all the fuss over the appointments it's 3months f#s and all trophies bar Europe gone with very little chance of beating fenerbache with clement anyhoo so a left field gamble appointment won't make. A large difference in grand scheme of things.
Besides I'd rather a new manager preseason to hopefully get new manager bounce an d maybe see how we do starting the season with hopefully a bit of confidence for a change.
