So I was told earlier today that Clement has the job if he wants it. I won't quote my source but they are in our directors box frequently. Its not a done deal but I am really hopeful that Clement takes the job. Additionally there is £10million + available for players in next window. Time will indeed tell. Separately the same person told me that the board is struggling massively between corporate and football so expect a DOF imminently too.

Was told that same otterspocket that i posted on here the other day ?Our new manager will be phillipe clement if he accepts, as he's our preferred choice ?.

As I said in an earlier post it would be negligence not to appoint Clement if he wants the job. He is for me the stand out candidate and would be a major coup for us. I'll be in an extremely big huff if we don't appoint this guy.
I'm just glad Gallardo wasn't a realistic choice as I was gettingbyhe fear having to sit at Ibrox on a cold October day in my y's??.

More or less exactly what a said the last day mate a was even told about 10 million in January also so am hoping its all true my sources are decent to be fair ? but thays been 3 or 4 days that i have been told clement is the main target especially with his ideas.

£10m is no where near enough to sort this mess out unless the new manager gets additional money from the sale of any unwanted players.

10 million and a couple a free transfers could well help sort us out especially half way threw a season.

10m is plenty money. If we invest well and get 2 wingers and a centre back most of our problems will be solved. Ideally need to move on one of Dessers and Lammees as we don’t need 4 strikers.

i've always wanted clement but i have to say

the more i read and ask about john eustace the more i like, i think this guy will go far very soon.

He might Tom but it’s not the time for us to take risks and appoint someone pretty inexperienced. Couple more years in the championship and maybe but not now.

Tom thumb when you say John eustace will go far very soon, do you mean in the next 7 to 10 days soon? Or just soon in general. ?.

Is nobody else concerned about the wage bill if we're to bring in 2/ 3 players for decent money were going to be paying them decent money alsoreally need to move some on in January also.

There may be 1 or 2 leaving potentially there is some breathing room.

I'm more impressed the board are going to give him ten million in January.

Just wonder if that's based on moving people out too?

Hopefully Rangers don't get used as a plaything to up the ante regarding Saudi Arabia contract talks - we all know how agents etc play the system - last thing we need is to fail with one primary target and then try to jump for the cheaper option just to save face - if we don't get our man regroup and plan again - I don't care how long it takes as long as we make the best informed choice as I really want a long term plan/ visiom this time around.

Forget 10 million on two wingers and a CB.
It's 10 million on two full backs the new manager needs to look at, never seen such bad defending from full backs.
I swear Borna is worse every game.
Sort the full backs. stop the goals. it really is that simple.

as we saw in the summer, it's not so easy to offload players. who is going to go when they can get paid silly money, and then walk for free.

JR - Agree that the full backs don't cover themselves in glory a lot of the time - but we should defend from the front and midfield too - can't expect wing backs to be on edge of opposition penalty box and in left back or right back position at same time - so its up to others to cover and have a leader on the park who can notice this and get cover across as required!

New manager going to save the money until the summer, it will be a few loaners in the door in jan.

£10m is a good amount to bring in 2 or 3 quality players to help the squad. Still got Danilo, Cantwell, Wright and Lawrence to come back and not sure if we can activate recall from loan option in January for Hagi. Agree we need to get some more wide players into squad.


21.) 10 Oct 2023

Bring back Lowry and Hagi and sign Shankland from Hearts.

Send Dessers down the Clyde on a blow up boat fae B&M.

Fingers crossed Cantwell and Danilo come back soon and stay healthy.

There must be some decent free agents out there.

Investment/ change must be made in the scouting department.

Any money that is given to a new manager should be spent on CD's who can defend when facing their own goal.

As long as the new manager is selected after an informed and critical evaluation process and on his talent and experience and NOT by the emotion of the supporters I don’t really mind who it is. The selection of Beale breached all good recruitment practice as the Board pandered to the supporters. That invitation and visit to the Aberdeen game and being paraded around the Club Shop and the Loudoun was a pathetic and spineless act. No more please.

JR fullback’s definitely need to be looked at but the lack of wingers is the number 1 thing that needs fixed in January. Matondo has done well and Macausland/ Lovelace looked good enough to be used as backups. Add 2 good wingers in there and we are a much better team straight away. Would take some of the pressure off Tav and Borna having to do everything for us out wide and would mean they may not get caught out as much. I’d rather get a new centre back than a new full back tbh. Sterling hasn’t had a chance and was good in the Celtic game so I wouldn’t mind him given a shot at right back. Yilmaz has something there but he can’t stay fit.

We have five starters to come back into team, new manager and money available in January by the looks of it, as long as we appoint the right man then we could be a different animal come the turn of year, fingers crossed ??.


27.) 10 Oct 2023

Hopefully we see the academy players such as Lovelace, Rice, McKinnon, Devine, McCausland feature in the first team squad throughout the season.
Might save us a bit of money in the January transfer window.

Signing wingers automatically takes the pressure off the full backs, they can concentrate more on their main job and they have people to track full backs. Young McCausland showed how that should be done on Sunday . There will be more changes to come but in the January window a new striker to compete with Danilo and at least one winger is a priority . If we can get Lammers, Dessers and Roofe out the door that will make room and save wages.

We need defenders.

We do need defensive options, and I completely agree but I have a slightly different idea of spending the money, I think we should finally get our Ryan Kent replacement, someone that scores more goals than him. See if you watch the road to the Europa league final again on YouTube even his performances really stand out, but i would like someone with more goals.

as for defensive players generally speaking they cost less than attacking player, so I’d be searching high and low across the globe looking at defenders that have 6 months left on there deals- so we can get them for peanuts!

Loan to buy options will be quite smart for any area of the pitch, because it’s almost a try before you buy type thing so we don’t get burnt! Obviously with no clause we’re the selling club can terminate the deal I. e Tillman.

These are just ideas if there is cash to splash, I just think we should be smart with it. Because we have wasted enough money. Just Random ideas guys.

Hearing if he accepts it could be Clement, just finished watching stuff about him. He’s way more impressive than I first thought like on the training field and type of football. He’s no a big fan of long punted balls, which are really annoying to watch. I already knew he’s won stuff but it was the other stuff I was looking for. I don’t think he’s the type that’s going to be box office or have sound bites. But actually I’m glad of that because we have heard enough about handbrakes and other false promises. Either way I’m going to back the guy 100%. If he accepts, I hope he does. New times.

From what I have read about Clement, if we are fortunate enough to secure him as our new Manager then he might well get a lot more out of some of our players than Beale did. He is very much a player's manager, treats them all as individuals and works with them as such but equally he doesn't take prisoners so it will be up to them to show that they are good enough to play for him.
Right now I would be willing to give all the players, (even Wright and Dessers), the benefit of the doubt, given that Beale didn't appear to have a clue how to manager players.

Orange,

Think board will review and see 15m more needed. Plus new manager can sell as many duds we've just bought and after review squad, youngsters and unneeded. This may well increase war chest to 25m. New manager needs complete control.
