A few good debates with some fellow coaches today about the various rumours circulating about the head coach role.
Based on all the rumours we've heard, this is our assumed summary of where we are.
We interviewed 3 coaches - 2 relatively inexperienced coaches and 1 more experienced coach.
Our preferred candidate has accepted the role will bring a core backroom team.
The only open point is the extended backroom team. Our preference is to recruit these directly in order to build our own internal team - the new head coach isn't adverse to this however has requested oversight of the process to ensure the quality of resource matches their expectations.
No one seems to have any concerns over the takeover, or the appointment of the coach.
This of course could be completely incorrect - but I'm pretty confident it's not.
1.) 23 May 2025 11:45:12
Thank you EHL.
2.) 23 May 2025 11:46:47
Great info EHL hopefully calms a few bears down.
Bright future ahead.
3.) 23 May 2025 11:54:09
Cheers Ehl ??.
4.) 23 May 2025 11:54:25
Very clear and insightful EHL. need to chill guys and let the excitement build instead of any doubts.
5.) 23 May 2025 11:58:22
Cheers for the info mate and maybe some will settle down especially after copland telling us the takeover happens next week.
6.) 23 May 2025 11:58:49
Cheers EHL. So I assume your view that any of the media speculating about who's getting interviewed, or still under consideration is all nonsense as we've already got the new coach signed?
7.) 23 May 2025 12:00:06
I think what's clear that there is a certain amount of misinformation going about that's creating a level of hysteria. I am not suggesting the misinformation is deliberate or even known to be misinformation but I think we need to trust the process. These guys don't seem to be the type to walk away and they are so far in already it would be incredible if they did given the presence they have had at nearly every game this year so far.
8.) 23 May 2025 12:07:12
Is it a possibility the person who you believe has accepted the role is also on gardening leave until a certain date so can't officially sign a contract at the moment
I'm just thinking back to your comments a few months ago when you said the short list was 2 and then became 3 owing to circumstances which was at the same time Rose was let go from leipzig.
Also white horse asked the otherv day mentioned a German and asa has continually believed it to be a German.
If going by johns other post confirming terzic saying no that would make the shortlist of 3 terzic, rose and schmit.
9.) 23 May 2025 12:09:23
Good post and info EHL
Looks like good news all round today makes for a better forum ?.
10.) 23 May 2025 12:10:22
???????.
11.) 23 May 2025 12:14:17
Good luck in your new role, EHL.
12.) 23 May 2025 12:15:49
Great info EHL hopefully calm some nerves on here.
13.) 23 May 2025 12:28:45
Verdant, can't talk about any names, however I understand that a lot of the names that are being referenced as rejecting us were not interviewed - however we're ruled out relatively early in the process.
14.) 23 May 2025 12:44:50
Jasper72
I hope it's him!
15.) 23 May 2025 13:00:43
EHL any idea of timescales?
16.) 23 May 2025 13:18:25
Stevie g still the main man for it.
17.) 23 May 2025 13:24:02
Not me My Star as I am not ITK.
18.) 23 May 2025 13:32:22
Jasper, is DA your preferred option or have you heard something about him getting the job?
19.) 23 May 2025 13:37:32
Thanks ehl i think I was more thinking aloud when I mentioned names and totally understand you can't confirm anything.
20.) 23 May 2025 14:14:50
Ehl great news the candidate has been appointed.
21.) 23 May 2025 14:55:19
Ty ehl great info as per.
22.) 23 May 2025 15:05:50
Copland2 not talking about you mate.
23.) 23 May 2025 15:16:56
John ?.
24.) 23 May 2025 15:24:15
Great info EHL ??????????.
25.) 23 May 2025 15:28:51
Scotty, I'm not in ITK. However, I have been following all the posts over the last couple of weeks very closely and especially of those that do have some inside info. I also follow Italian (Napoli) and Spanish football and the various media outlets from both countries. It's not hard to piece together what 49ers intentions are with regards to appointing the new 'Head Coach'. The flip side is nothing is ever guaranteed, but that's where I placed my bet at 6/ 1. ????????.
26.) 23 May 2025 15:40:30
That was my thoughts Verdant, Rose may still well be employed within the Group so that could be the delay and could be a way to work around wages instead of pay offs if he takes another Job within the Teams they are involved with is just a thought.
27.) 23 May 2025 15:41:47
Dont like being a party pooper but i get the queezy feeling there is a serious amount of guesswork on this site in the last few weeks, don't get me wrong here i am not judging anybody on here as i am not privy to any information from any sources, and on the manager subject can anyone enlighten me as to why the daily rebel is pumping out russel martins name incessintly every day.
28.) 23 May 2025 15:46:46
Cheers EHL, I popped on the other day seemed like someone had chucked a grenade and everyone was panicking ? I read a few messages then thought naa I canny be dealing with this lol.
Given the the time we've had over the last 10 years or so I don't blame people for panicking tbh, I firmly believe the big wheel keeps on turning and we're on our way to the top again and hopefully lasts a good while, I'd love the team to be successful again especially for all the young team who haven't experienced a successful dominating Rangers.
29.) 23 May 2025 16:09:21
If he has been appointed then why haven't we all been told? As it was meant to have been done a week or two ago? Or has it just beed accepted this week?
30.) 23 May 2025 17:00:11
Strom, it will make sense when it's announced.
31.) 23 May 2025 17:16:10
Could still be in a job right now Storm.
32.) 23 May 2025 17:33:49
Ehl I have to ask, if you have heard a name does he excite you? I get the fact you can't actually name who it is but is going to be a good appointment?
33.) 23 May 2025 17:34:34
EHL, you're probably tired of this question bud but any clues on a timeframe? I don't have a source but I'm hopeful for next week, hoping that you share my optimism?
34.) 23 May 2025 18:01:12
I hope he is still in a job Mystar as it means it won't be Stevie g.
35.) 23 May 2025 18:17:38
Or he's helping his dad ?.
36.) 23 May 2025 18:26:13
Real Madrid's last game tomorrow! announcement a day or 2 after that ?.
37.) 23 May 2025 18:32:18
Putting 2+2 together with EHLs post and getting Ancelotti from that.
'it will make sense when it's announced'
Last game with Real Madrid tomorrow. Put a goodbye post on his Instagram, 'start of a new phase' is a quote from his post. I reckon this takes off Sunday/ Monday with an announcement midweek next week.
38.) 23 May 2025 18:43:21
No problem Mystar. ?.
39.) 23 May 2025 18:47:07
Coplandfront5 mate i should have said that Copland2.
21 May 2025 12:35:58
Seeing a lot of people getting frustrated at the club for the perceived delays in appointing our new head coach.
A lot of this frustration seems to originate from the puff pieces that are filling the media constantly - however this is because the club are purely focused on delivery a scale of change that we won't have seen before, which goes well beyond just the head coach.
What I will say, is there is zero panic on the inside.
The pace and control that we are operating at is both frightening and reassuring.
There will be a number of decisions that we as fans do not like, there will be a number of decisions that turn out to be wrong - but I believe we'll get the vast majority right.
1.) 21 May 2025 13:28:43
Season only finished on saturday, more than happy for the club to take enough time to come to the right decision for a new coach.
2.) 21 May 2025 13:31:14
EHL do you think we'll hear anything this week?
3.) 21 May 2025 13:31:46
Well it needs to start at the top with the manager.
If it's not announced by Friday it's a cock up and fans will start getting frustrated.
I think there will be an announcement.
There's a surprise coming one way or another that has not been discussed. Not necessarily manager possibly player or coach, who knows.
4.) 21 May 2025 13:37:51
EHL I am not frustrated with the club mate. Quite the opposite. Just fed up hearing my mate said/ Ave got info troops and also from the worried bhoys on the other side coming on.
5.) 21 May 2025 13:38:29
Why Friday?
6.) 21 May 2025 14:04:59
Lol, same WhiteHorse.
7.) 21 May 2025 14:13:24
EHL, I'm glad to hear things are progressing well and like you I'm not to concerned about the perceived lack of urgency in getting a head coach in place. If the lads heading the consortium had any concerns no doubt it would've been addressed before now. I'm more interested on what other changes will take place to improve the club and the team. How do you see things going forward? Do you think any player targets you might have heard mentioned will strengthen the squad? Any likely to be first team players? No names, just your thoughts.
8.) 21 May 2025 14:18:55
Another weekend EHL will be torture!
9.) 21 May 2025 14:37:52
The manager could be announced as the same day as the players return from holiday for all I care. I've fully bought into the 49ers and co and trust that they will make more good than bad decisions. I pay no notice to the attention seekers on social medias getting "mad"
10.) 21 May 2025 14:40:22
Thanks ehl. Appreciate you can't say much but can I ask if your post last week alluding to the conversation you had with what you described as straight from the horses mouth is still the same in your eyes. In that the club offered the job to a specific individual and it was accepted within the 48hrs and it was just formals to sort. Do to still belive that to be the case or has the landscaped changed so to speak.
11.) 21 May 2025 14:46:58
How is a cock up if it's not announced by Friday? They will announce it when it's done whether it be tomorrow Friday or next week.
12.) 21 May 2025 14:51:28
EHL "There will be a number of decisions that we as fans do not like"
Fills me with fear Tav will still be captain next year! ??.
13.) 21 May 2025 14:53:10
Bringing change at a frightening pace. oh it's exciting times. Thanks Ehl.
14.) 21 May 2025 15:04:43
Not really hearing a lot on transfers other than there is a lot of work do e and everyone seems to be really happy about it.
15.) 21 May 2025 15:38:06
Verdant, I am and have been 100% convinced for a number of weeks now that the decision has been and the deal is done.
There are obviously a lot of moving parts in terms of the takeover and various restructuring across the club, so there is a lot happening.
16.) 21 May 2025 16:07:12
Thanks ehl.

Private jets? Car registration plates? Cameron House Vs Marr Hall? Travelling barbers?
What drama do we have in-store in today's episode?
1.) 21 May 2025 08:22:58
Silly season.
A lot of the rumours from first time posters strangely now picking their time for info.
Looking forward to getting manager announced, and start talking about players again.
At this stage I have lost interest and don't care who it is now ?.
2.) 21 May 2025 08:23:04
Day 92 in the Big Hoose. Stevie G has just gone into Asda for a bar of Fry's chocolate cream ? you do need to do it in the VoiceOver in your head.

12.) 21 May 2025 10:28:48
It's not McInnes so anyone will be better than the sunbed hoofball chancer . And he may persuade that big lump Shankland to stay with the torn faces, it's a win win .
When he's available again at xmas we will be fine and settled.
13.) 21 May 2025 10:31:54
If Angela gets beat the night he's available by friday.
14.) 21 May 2025 10:48:22

15 May 2025 21:37:28
Seeing lots of great chat about the head coach role and process, a lot conflicting with what I've heard throughout.
Heard tonight from as good as the horses mouth that from the outset we had a shortlist of two, that was expanded to three to include a more experienced coach.
Following the first meetings there was a stand out candidate and they accepted the role pretty much there and then and agreed terms within 48 hours.
The club were close to announcing it over the weekend as they were concerned over it breaking, however as there are still a few formalities to finalise they opted to remain quiet.
All good things come to those who wait.
1.) 15 May 2025 22:08:09
Great information EHL thank you.
2.) 15 May 2025 22:17:27
Any nationality you can tell us EHL? ? ?? or ???.
3.) 15 May 2025 22:18:53
A reassuring post EHL. ?
Tick-Tock.
4.) 15 May 2025 22:19:06
The plot thickens again?.
5.) 15 May 2025 22:19:13
Interesting post EHL. If the club was concerned about it breaking but are still keeping it under wraps, this might suggest that the press is still in the dark and that they're naming of Ancelotti, for example, is wide of the mark.
6.) 15 May 2025 22:19:39
Terzic rose and ancellotti perhaps.
7.) 15 May 2025 22:22:25
EHL ??
When will we all be put out our misery ?.
8.) 15 May 2025 22:24:23
Assuming that's why the reports in Spain and Italy came out then EHL. Just a matter of time until Ancelotti is confirmed by the club. Sooner the better and it puts end to all the speculation and allows us all to look forward to an exciting period for the club. Been a long time coming.
9.) 15 May 2025 22:26:14
EHL what a difference it makes having a level headed poster like yourself on here chilled never rises to noise and always polite and professiona mate
Just a genuine nice guy if anything take that away with you bud
Have appreciated everything You have given us over the course you have been on here ?.
10.) 15 May 2025 22:30:17
Good stuff EHL let's hope whoever coach is he is outstanding.
11.) 15 May 2025 22:42:32
EHL, top info as always bud
Would you imagine we're talking a Monday-Wednesday next week for the new head coach if you had to hazard a guess? Seen someone on here prior saying that so wanted to know if you shared that sentiment!
12.) 15 May 2025 22:51:11
Ehl is it the same guy as you told me last night? ?.
13.) 15 May 2025 23:02:22

Excellent post and insight EHL. Won't be long now. Let the fun begin.

??????Forza Azzurri??????.
16.) 15 May 2025 23:36:07
Ancelloti will be 1/ 10 by Sunday so if you want to make a quick £1.50 bet now though you can still get hoofball McInnes at 100/ 1 if you are game.

⬆️⬆️ up there Stig talking about getting put out our misery Angus?.
25 Apr 2025 20:57:29
BF putting to bed any rumours of him being number 2 to SG in today's presser.
1.) 25 Apr 2025 22:23:01
EHL, I didn't see the whole thing, but he said he wouldn't manage anywhere if he didn't get the Rangers job. by being assistant or coach he isn't managing. the finest of hairs to split I know, but could be still be part of the coaching team and not break that vow?
2.) 25 Apr 2025 22:27:28
EHL, baz couldn't be no.2 to steven gerrard anyway as allegedly gerrard has no chance of being our next permanent Rangers manager ? That's wide of the mark for me because none of us knows who our new manager is going to be ?.
3.) 25 Apr 2025 22:47:45
I saw his interview he said he would improve our team if he was given the job well he hasn't improved any team he was given the job at or am I wrong.
4.) 25 Apr 2025 22:48:45
Why do you constantly say rose is going to be the next manager then coops if you don't know? ? embarrassing.
5.) 25 Apr 2025 22:57:50
Angus, my take from it was if he's not managing Rangers, he doesn't want to manage and if he's not managing he's happy with his ambassador role.
6.) 26 Apr 2025 07:40:17
EHL I take that from it as well and having read it again it does sound like if he isn't number 1 he won't want to manage and happy to go back to the role. perhaps I am trying to be too clever in my interpretation (I know) and saying by being a number 2 or coach he isn't technically the manager here.
7.) 26 Apr 2025 08:22:02
Is exactly what he said EHL.
AND, I still think we are in for a surprise re Manager/ Coach, I'm sure the lucky person hasn't been mentioned yet ( although there have been a few ??)
8.) 26 Apr 2025 08:54:44
Angus, yeah - one thing with BF is he says what he's thinking, so there's not often a requirement to read between the lines.
But I get what you're saying.
9.) 26 Apr 2025 09:02:17
I think its funny how new guy coming in thelwell made a book coaching the 352 and Ferguson goes with playing 3 at the back i don't think any decision will be made until after season finished or maybe if Barry loses more games.
10.) 26 Apr 2025 09:02:58
Quite simply storm, because imo i think Marco Rose will be our next manager, not hard to understand eh. ?
What's embarrassing about i think Marco Rose will be our manager? ? honestly you crack me up ?.
11.) 26 Apr 2025 09:03:32
EHL - you are correct mate, if he doesn't get the Rangers job then he'll be happy to go back to his ambassador role.

I see West Ham are linked to Cerny, Maeda and Engels.
Would be quite happy to see both leave Celtic.
1.) 23 May 2025 16:23:25
Engels is a poor mans Raskin.
2.) 23 May 2025 16:24:23
Seem reports of Italian teams and £30mil being thrown around about Engels, surely not!
3.) 23 May 2025 16:41:19
If that's true they are laundering money.
4.) 23 May 2025 16:46:47
I really like Cerny but he's at his level in Scotland he will never get into that west team ahead of bowen.
5.) 23 May 2025 16:52:09
Engeks has shown very little. Want him to stay at celtic.
6.) 23 May 2025 17:06:48
Surprised at this - Engles is an incredible talent and one is love to see as far away from Celtic as possible.
7.) 23 May 2025 17:19:25
Only thing i can see is 19 mill. Nothing about 30 mill.
8.) 23 May 2025 17:28:37
Incredible talent are you serious no were near Incredible. apart from taking pens he's done nothing.
9.) 23 May 2025 18:33:01
Agree ehl 21yr old 10 goals 13 assists young players of the year, in his first season in Scotland. Takes corners free kick penalties for treble winning champions. 7/ 7 penalties. The boys got bags of potential. Wonder what he'd have to do to have a good season in some people eyes.
10.) 23 May 2025 18:48:58
Probably be treble champs my bad!
11.) 23 May 2025 19:03:16
BB he would have to play for us.
12.) 23 May 2025 19:26:07
Incredible? Raskins owned him all season.
19 May 2025 21:33:26
Would recommend keeping an eye out for the Canadian midfielder, McDonnel who played for Brugges tonight.
Absolute class act.
1.) 20 May 2025 00:00:47
Is this a player we may be interested in for no6 position?
2.) 20 May 2025 07:28:42
Stevie, not a chance.
He's only 17 and Club Brugges signed him for a couple of hundred thousand from Canada.
He ran the show yesterday against our young team and by all accounts is already attracting attention from some top top teams.
Good news is, we're starting to embed the same process and system as Club Brugges for identifying young talent.
3.) 20 May 2025 08:10:16
Right mate sorry, I never even knew we had a game against Brugge yesterday so I get it now. I thought Brugge had been playing and that was a wee mod for us to have a look.
If we go down any for of system that Belgian clubs do well that's only going to be a good thing for us long term.
19 May 2025 16:17:19
Interesting article published around the Leeds United Stadium redevelopment proposal and it being linked to a £1b regeneration proposal around the area of the stadium.
Still early days, but reading this really does wet the appetite.
1.) 19 May 2025 17:00:22
Glesgha cooncil will put every obstacle possible in place for any area/ stadium regeneration EHL. So don't get too excited.
17 May 2025 20:34:41
I hope we sign Mackenzie now and I hope he scores a towering header against The Sheep.
1.) 17 May 2025 22:48:45
I expect we will see the weeks worth of media coverage of it with politicians and pundits discussing it for days and the fans called out for being scotlands shame. I'll be shocked if this gets as much coverage as the bottle being thrown on the pitch at the last old firm.
2.) 17 May 2025 22:49:20
I hope he is the new manager.
16 May 2025 13:02:44
Little shout out to Souttar, who has played over 40 games now in back to back seasons.
Have a sneaky suspicion he'll leave over the summer, however hope I'm wrong.
1.) 16 May 2025 13:20:01
I read on here yesterday someone says he wants away? I like souttar but think there are lots on here that would be happy to see the back of him.
2.) 16 May 2025 13:23:01
Not fussed either way, he's the best out of a very poor bunch.
3.) 16 May 2025 13:34:42
So long as he's replaced with a Scottish centre half he can leave. Far too inconsistent. Defence needs Nuked.
4.) 16 May 2025 13:45:39
Tav, that's my info, he wants to go to the championship.
5.) 16 May 2025 13:59:07
Raskin, a Scottish cb name one better than him? very good cb for Rangers.

I mean hard to see him leaving, a team worth laying a few mill for him? Being Scottish, added value to us for Europe quotas.

Cost us in the Bilbao and Celtic game, and a few other games from memory, not the level we need if we are going to mount a serious challenge.
Wish him the best if he goes.

Gladly let him go.

Would not be against it. Like the guy, but easily replaced. Makes a lot of mistakes.
10.) 16 May 2025 15:04:42
I didn't say one that's better. I want 2 new starting CBs and then a Scottish centre half as back up. We shouldve signed mckenna last summer.
Lewis Mayo would be ideal.

Said it before, Souttar is the best CB we've got and he isn't good enough.
12.) 16 May 2025 15:06:05
Ready made replacement by given Balogun a contract extension ??.
13.) 16 May 2025 15:27:25
If he's not interested in new deal, sell or he walks for zero next summer.
14.) 16 May 2025 15:34:18
Solid big player, and if he was to leave I would be looking for £6M plus.
15.) 16 May 2025 15:40:38
Similar info John. Could well see him at Leicester.
16.) 16 May 2025 15:43:23
Balogun is our best CB which sums up our issues at the back.
17.) 16 May 2025 15:48:51
So if he is easily replaced then by who. remember he needs to get the club, have insight into the league and understand the Scottish game. that would narrow the field down to about 2 ??.
18.) 16 May 2025 15:49:01
Is it possible souttar wants to go play with his brother?
19.) 17 May 2025 00:05:00
Info I got is the big msn is happy and settled and enjoys his other business interest away from football and his and family preference is to extend.
23 May 2025 21:34:28
Wow, I guess if you're going to be wrong you may as well be really wrong!
23 May 2025 20:44:50
Not heard anything OWS - he seems to be pretty settled.
23 May 2025 17:00:11
Strom, it will make sense when it's announced.
23 May 2025 12:28:45
Verdant, can't talk about any names, however I understand that a lot of the names that are being referenced as rejecting us were not interviewed - however we're ruled out relatively early in the process.
23 May 2025 11:05:50
On addition to Camara, we're actively working on deals for another 4 players of similar age / experience.
23 May 2025 22:09:50
A team with character Boy Blue.
Heard the commentators saying they were linked with DeBruyne and Nunez for next season.
Nunez is one of those players I could see being a success with them.
23 May 2025 21:45:58
Lol, correct Fork.
Red on square and brown on bacon.
Banana ketchup sounds like something I don't want in my search history Ed.
{Ed001's Note - it is a real thing mate, very common in Asia.}
23 May 2025 21:20:50
Gotta be red on square sausage!
23 May 2025 21:10:56
Brilliant for them both!
Add to this Ferguson winning the cup and Doig winning Serie B - not a bad season for the Scottish lads.
23 May 2025 21:09:46
I thought for a second it was Dessers.
