Chris Jack reporting that Ancelotti will make his decision in the next 2 weeks.
What if he says no and we're 2 weeks further behind and every other candidate knows they weren't first choice?

Blue89

1.) 15 May 2025 17:15:57
Blue, already not first choice. We have already been knocked back.


2.) 15 May 2025 17:19:14
We will have other candidates. I don't see us waiting 2 weeks if we deem it to be an issue.


3.) 15 May 2025 17:25:49
Going by the Spanish/ Italian media I'd say this is further down the line than being let on the journalists and tabloids involved in reporting it are very reliable sources and I don't personally see how accurate info like contract length and who his assistant will be would be leaked by them if it wasn't coming from good sources.

I suspect we might need to wait until after brazils last game on the 11th of June for an official announcement unless Rangers can convince him to join sooner and not go to the 2 remaining brazil games.


4.) 15 May 2025 17:24:26
He also said no contract on the table yet also.


5.) 15 May 2025 17:24:54
If he wasn't interested we wouldn't still be in talks, but even if he did say no, then the board would have backups.


6.) 15 May 2025 17:33:56
Real Madrid still have 2 games to play so he won't be leaving there till then that's in the next 10 days.


7.) 15 May 2025 17:46:05
By who John? if he knocked us back, can you reveal his name and don't say Frank ?.


8.) 15 May 2025 17:52:57
Edin Terzic pick6.


9.) 15 May 2025 17:55:35
So ancelotti is 2nd or more to be asked, I wonder who said no?.


10.) 15 May 2025 18:06:04
So Chris Jack who removed a twitter post from his account after he got something else dramatically wrong?


11.) 15 May 2025 18:29:24
Marco Rose.


12.) 15 May 2025 18:39:10
Marco rose i believe pick6.


13.) 15 May 2025 18:40:21
Didn't the Spanish manager turn us down.


14.) 15 May 2025 19:10:13
Already said rose rejected us, we could not meet his demands.


15.) 15 May 2025 19:17:04
Rose knocked us back.


16.) 15 May 2025 19:26:24
John can you say who's knocked us back?


17.) 15 May 2025 20:13:40
Think Rose wanted more money and more money to buy players so effectively walked away, still think the other candidates might make Rose rethink but I could be miles off the mark.


18.) 15 May 2025 20:19:45
Julen Lopetegui I remember John saying a little while back.


19.) 15 May 2025 20:38:52
Lopetegui declined to meet us. I think he had already accepted quatar job.


20.) 15 May 2025 20:55:26
Angus I said that about Chris Jack and guy digs abuse on here. He makes stuff up all the time and deletes it.


21.) 15 May 2025 21:30:14
It sounds like a few guys have possibly nocked us back and maybe as a club we are struggling to fill the post… Unfortunately even with the new owners the job really is a hard task ?✌️.


22.) 15 May 2025 21:59:47
Storm it was your post about the deletion that I was mentioning. I have said all along though that there are no leaks so why would he even know.


23.) 15 May 2025 22:18:51
What av been told from wel sourced sponsor is rafa benitez is had 2 rounds of talks

What else av been told was rafa was coming himself with ferguson an contract to assist in a 1 year deal

Ferguson has accepted this and his back room team.


24.) 15 May 2025 23:43:05
Real wouldn't let their assistant go because they have 2 games left. bollocks.


25.) 15 May 2025 23:46:24
12 rounds with the Kings English right there.


26.) 15 May 2025 23:52:11
The Rafa nonsense . laughable.


 

 

09 Feb 2025 20:17:23
Whoever the next manager is going to be, the ONE thing that they must be able to do is put fear into the players. If you look at everyone manager who has been a winner for us this is what they have in common. Players need to know they cannot let their standards drops and having that in a manager is what we're missing.

Blue89

1.) 09 Feb 2025 20:58:56
It's all very well sacking the manager and bringing someone else in, the players need to take responsibility, the goal wtf was jefte doing, barahmi diamonde were clueless, he had to go with a 3-4-3 today dessers igname through the top and play it at a high tempo, only midfielder with any craft he took off, hagi, absolute shambles, can we actually afford to sack him, also can anyone get a tune out of some of those players,


2.) 09 Feb 2025 21:00:20
Having seen how angry he looks in the after match interview I think he might be getting that way.


3.) 09 Feb 2025 21:23:28
The assistant manager brought in on a 3.5 year deal could he be someone PS has identified as a successor or was he a PC appointment?


4.) 09 Feb 2025 22:03:46
I've heard clement can a scary guy and isn't quite so putting the fear into them probably doesn't work.


5.) 09 Feb 2025 22:16:01
How about not just put fear into them but can instil personal pride and desire.


6.) 09 Feb 2025 22:38:03
The days of putting fear into players are gone. Players don't respond to that kind of management in this current era.


7.) 09 Feb 2025 23:47:59
Kaiser players shouldn't need the manager do do that it should be a given for any player.


8.) 10 Feb 2025 08:03:10
A football manager needs to be a good coach that can deliver winning football. A big part of that will be making the squad we have happy again. Most of them look miserable, and I strongly suspect a lot of them want out. Hagi must certainly want out at this point. That substitution yesterday was embarrassing. Clement has lost the fans and I suspect the players know his time is up too.


9.) 10 Feb 2025 08:13:07
Listen to Roy Keane speak surely the will to win and hunger must come from within and personal pride. Currently there is a mix of experienced players who some of, know they are unwanted in the summer and some of constantly get told by their own fans that they aren't good enough. Difficult to motivate that blend. Thought Hagi was poor yesterday, and can see why he brought on Yilmaz for left side although it didn't work, for me I'd swap yilmaz for jefte and play ridvan at back and jefte on wing. Thought bringing on Dessers was right move, only thing I don't agree with was Rice, thought he was doing a good job.
Problem with building a team is you'll get inconsistency. A bit like the fans views who say Igamane is worth 25m then say he's useless because we get knocked out a cup. Or say we've got a chance of getting to europa final when we play we'll, but worst Rangers team in history when not.


10.) 10 Feb 2025 09:11:25
You are right to point out Rice. That young lad has stagnated in our B team since the day he arrived. He finally gets a chance after 18 months and the manager hooks him at halftime. What will that do for that young lads confidence? All I have read today is Rangers fans talking about Declan Rice and how he isn't good enough, and will never be good enough - He's 18. That boy should have stayed at Motherwell and continued his career there with Lennon Miller. Our youth academy is a massive failure.

It reminds me of the Leon King treatment. Leon King was called a 'generational talent' on the Rangers review. He goes from the B team to playing all 6 Champions League games under GVB. We lose them all, boys confidence destroyed, and he's written off by the support.

Lovelace just went back to Millwall after wasting years up here.

What is happening? Who is running the youth academy? It needs to be totally reworked. Hardie scored a winning goal against Liverpool yesterday as we exited the Scottish Cup to Queens Park.


11.) 10 Feb 2025 11:42:08
Blue that is why they are reviewing the whole academy and b team as it sent working. we had no choice but to play King at the time though as we had no-one else and he had to play alongside a midfield player. we were sitting 0-0 at half time against QP so manager decides to put on his most effective midfielder who plays same position as Rice. it might be as simple as that.


 

 

09 Feb 2025 01:36:53
Does anyone know is Sima's contract expires this summer with Brighton or did they extend it by a year? Heard some rumours of Koppen looking at OOC players and it could make sense if he was one of them.

Blue89

1.) 09 Feb 2025 04:18:16
Sima was asking for way too much wages I dunno if he's someone we will be looking at due to that. He's not starting for Brest currently either.


2.) 09 Feb 2025 06:08:15
Someone said he signed a 1 year extension.


3.) 09 Feb 2025 06:56:21
I would love that Blue, let's see what happens.


4.) 09 Feb 2025 07:23:43
Sima also had very good numbers when with us but i believe that ship has sailed ?.


5.) 09 Feb 2025 08:28:31
Sima won't happen. We had agreed a fee with Brighton in the summer but Simas demands were out of our pay structure so we walked away.


6.) 09 Feb 2025 08:29:57
Brighton hold a years option on Sima.


7.) 09 Feb 2025 09:29:09
Another one who's wage demand are probs double what we are able to pay nowadays.
Ship has sailed, move on.


8.) 09 Feb 2025 09:54:01
From a business perspective Brighton would be mad not to take up those option for another year, if nothing else just to get after for him this summer. Think simas boat has sailed for us. To be honest, I don't think he's the player Cerny is, and he had some very sloppy play when he was with us that got papered over but his goals at a time we found them hard to come by. Can remember him running it straight out of play numerous times a la matondo.


9.) 09 Feb 2025 11:11:19
I don't think sima was anything to do with wages he wanted champs league and we couldn't give him any of that.


10.) 09 Feb 2025 11:57:40
I'm pretty sure Brighton have an option of a 1 year extension.


11.) 09 Feb 2025 13:02:18
Pretty sure Sima signed a years extension at Brighton before they would let him go on loan again and that the story was that he wanted to play in the C. L so once we were knocked out he chose another club who were in it .
If he was out of contract he would be a cracking signing, imagine a front 3 of Cerny, Igamane and Sima, that would be exciting and have sell on potential.


12.) 09 Feb 2025 14:42:44
Cerny not for me to high a price tag to high on the wages we could get a couple of players in for that kind of money.


13.) 09 Feb 2025 22:18:38
Looks like his contract ends in 2026.


14.) 09 Feb 2025 22:29:47
One I can't see happening either would be easier to give Hagi a contract if he wants to stay.

Big if though.


 

 

10 Jun 2024 01:25:03
Has there been any news on the young CB Nsiala from AC Milan? Only 20 and built like a tank

Also looking like Kabadayi is a goer based on him being in the UK recently, his agent following Rangers on social media and Koppen having previous relationships with Bayern (got Tillman to PSV when he was there)

Really hope we get the boy Garcia from Uruguay.

Still think Miovski would be a better option that Rrahmani but hopefully I'm proved wrong if he signs.

Blue89

1.) 10 Jun 2024 06:15:38
He was in the UK for the Champions League final. Doesn't mean he was here speaking to us. Who is his agent? Had a quick look and can't see any of the agents from the agency that he's part of following Rangers on Instagram.


2.) 10 Jun 2024 06:50:29
“Still think Miovski would be a better option that Rrahmani but hopefully I'm proved wrong if he signs” - From what I’ve read Rrahmani likes to start from out wide, come inside, and have a shot. Miovski is a striker. So these guys play in two different roles. Rangers need wingers. The only wingers contracted for next season are: Scott Wright, McAusland, Matondo, and Cortes. More is needed.


3.) 10 Jun 2024 07:11:38
Generic, I'm pretty sure Rrahmani is a 9.
I do think he is as good/ better than Miovski and has a higher ceiling.


4.) 10 Jun 2024 08:02:04
Wright and Matondo - NEED moved on asap. Both are too flash in the pan and will not help us progress IMO.


5.) 10 Jun 2024 08:06:18
Yeah, you’re right. I’ve got him confused with Yusuf Kabadayi (the young winger from Bayern) .


6.) 10 Jun 2024 08:48:40
If the manager sticks with wright and Matondo I’ve got doubts about him. Matondo shows glimpses but we need consistency not glimpses. Wright has no end product. He’s fast that’s all. We need consistency up front not flashes in the pan.


7.) 10 Jun 2024 11:02:03
Matondo show glimpses because he only gets small runs in the side, any player needs a solid run of game to prove their worth.


8.) 10 Jun 2024 11:13:54
Of all the players we've signed recently I'd have loved Roofe, Jack and Lawrence to have stayed Injury free. Unfortunately, like Roofe and Jack, Lawrence is another who has talent, but offers little over the course of a tough season!


9.) 10 Jun 2024 14:42:54
Matondos only gets brief stints in the team becuase he is not good enough and is far too injury prone. First offer that comes in, he will be away.


 

 

11 Jan 2024 20:55:01
Seen something saying we are interested Greg Stewart. Surely that's a wind up.

Blue89

1.) 11 Jan 2024 21:08:32
Good player, never got a fair chance imo at the time.
Ship has long left the port though.


2.) 11 Jan 2024 21:27:49
Difficult a wind up I'd say. can't see PC even looking at him.


3.) 11 Jan 2024 21:29:00
He never got a "fair chance" because he was nowhere good enough. C'mon, he was bang average at best! ?.


4.) 11 Jan 2024 21:29:18
Ha ha, no chance, love GS though, he turned up at another club, forget which, on first day of training with a full Rangers tracky on, no F*cks given, Rangers to the core.


5.) 11 Jan 2024 21:38:19
He's just wanting back to Scotland after being in India. He'd definitely do a job for a spl team just not us.


6.) 11 Jan 2024 21:46:06
He will go to Kilmarnock.


7.) 11 Jan 2024 22:05:28
If he's coming back its to be a chef for the Gordon Ramsay Indian range he must have learned to cook over there.


8.) 11 jan 2024 22:47:45
good striker, in the right place, not quite up to quality required,

i liked the boy tho,


9.) 12 Jan 2024 06:51:15
He’ll be back to sign with Johnstone Burgh.


10.) 12 Jan 2024 07:28:26
I think killie as well only se him at us for 6 month if we are loaning out lovelance and Stewart would be last pick striker.

Club just posted Sterling out long term ?.

Blue89

1.) 11 Apr 2025 17:02:43
Feel sorry for him and also feel sorry for the club depending how long he's out could affect any potential move in summer or am I over shooting it.


2.) 11 Apr 2025 19:21:15
Whether returns before season ends or not doesn't make a huge difference. noone will buy him with the amount of injuries he has had.


 

 

27 Feb 2025 16:18:56
Seen reports saying the takeover will happen only if Leeds win promotion because of rules having multi club model is easier in the premier league than championship.

So what would happen if Leeds get promoted, takeover happens, and then Leeds get relegated next season?

Feel like it's media crap because they actually hate the fact that Rangers will have money.
I saw the Open Goal episode the day the news of the takeover came out and it was incredible how the tims on there looked genuinely nervous and weren't there normal laughing joking selves when they realised that there's a big chance of it happening.

Blue89

1.) 27 Feb 2025 16:46:55
Multi club ownerships are generally pretty complicated - but they're no longer frowned upon by most governing bodies and most have pretty straightforward processes in place to deal with them.


2.) 27 Feb 2025 17:05:31
Talked about this yesterday seems everyone i agreement it was a non story and their is ways round it and it won't affect anything for us so we're all good

Ally replies are on the rumours page Blue ?.


3.) 27 Feb 2025 17:12:19
Can't see how Leeds don't get promoted. Absolute stick-ons.


4.) 27 Feb 2025 17:15:10
Great question which kind of de bunks the whole think. didn't even think of it like that before.


5.) 27 Feb 2025 17:57:08
Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't Andrew Cavanagh hold the majority of the 51% that the takeover consortium with 49ers Enterprises will obtain. Therefore 49ers will not be the majority shareholders, Cavanagh will be as some form of way round the multi club issue.


6.) 27 Feb 2025 18:08:07
There was zero complication for Nottingham forest owner when in championship.


7.) 27 Feb 2025 18:24:25
Imo 49s are mot wasting money on a potential takeover and due diligence costs if it was a non starter.


8.) 27 Feb 2025 18:46:42
Think common sense should prevail in these situations. IMO talks don't get to an advanced stage without knowledge and understanding of the laws around it and any issues being ironed out.


9.) 27 Feb 2025 19:05:36
Cavanagh can have a large holding, others in the consortium can hold shares also, they can pool there holding as they are a group, they act together but are individual holders, thus have control, that's my thinking on it, may be wrong though.


10.) 27 Feb 2025 20:43:14
Complete and utter non story and this is has already happened with clubs in championship.
I wish people would die diligence before posting and also people agreeing with him.


11.) 27 Feb 2025 22:20:11
Fork if they are in consort it might not affect SFA rule but by Takeover Panel rules they have to offer to buy other shareholders shares. If those were to accept it might affect the written consent which the SFA would be required to give. not 100% sure but my read on it anyway.


12.) 28 Feb 2025 05:45:45
Think that's their endgame Angus?.


 

 

25 Feb 2025 18:16:21
For a bit of fun because we need it, who are some shouts for manager next season if takeover goes through that would be of a top caliber but not too far fetched?

I'll go for Mourinho after he falls in love with Ibrox.

I still would like to see how muscat would do. if that ship has truly sailed then knutsen for me. To be fair I cannot really think of anyone else that grabs my attention. Everyone says no to mcinnes but I trust Walter smiths judgement and although he has flaws, it could be the making of him. then again i suppose all managers are a risk. sometimes is just down to your Donald if it works or not.

7.) 25 Feb 2025 14:22:10
So just to ask who played right back if Tav doesn't play from the players we have fit?


8.) 25 Feb 2025 15:24:20
Understand guys, barry ferguson has always rated james tavernier and has constantly said as much ?Baz has now confirmed that tav will remain Rangers captain while he's in charge.


9.) 25 Feb 2025 15:58:52
Pretty sure he just said he's still captain, nothing about while he's in charge that he didn't say.


10.) 25 Feb 2025 15:58:58
What a lot of you can't seem to understand. drop Tav and play who in that position, we are devoid in numbers. then manager is accused of playing people out of position.


11.) 25 Feb 2025 16:09:21
It's another manager that will
Leave before Tav. Every manager keeps picking him as captain every manager leaves before him ?.


12.) 25 Feb 2025 16:09:51
I would play king of he is fit before Tav Angus.


13.) 25 Feb 2025 16:22:17
Back in the day, used to regard McCann as a bit part player, a placeholder, or as Craig Brown (unfairly) called him - a poor man's Ryan Giggs.

How I'd love a Neil McCann in his prime in this side now!


14.) 25 Feb 2025 16:42:59
Interesting,
You can't expect to be bombproof just because you happen to be the skipper
Wonder who said that??.


15.) 25 Feb 2025 17:34:18
Alan Hutton to be added to the team.


16.) 25 Feb 2025 17:47:08
Fair play Storm as at least you have a name; not sure if he is fit though. You are right about the order of who will leave as well as Ferguson will leave at end of season dn Tav not until close season when he is sold.


 

 

23 Feb 2025 18:48:12
Anyone wondering about the assistant manager that just signed the 3 year deal? What's the story with him, will he be interim, will he go too, what if new staff don't want him?

Blue89

1.) 23 Feb 2025 19:05:48
Who brought him in? Koppen or Clement? If it was koppen I think he will be the interim.

If the price is right then we need to sell and rebuild with new prospects that will then make us a profit while improving our team.
If our recruitment was good then many fans wouldn't be scared about us losing our best players.
The problem lies in the scouting and how poor it has been in recent years.
