Domenico Tedesco knocked back Schalke yesterday, Asa mentioned, it may or may not be a young German coach (39) or similar words to that effect, he is an Italian/ German, any thoughts guys, or is it I've got 2+2 equalling 5.
1.) 16 Apr 2025 08:17:37
He is an outstanding coach, not suited to international football.
2.) 16 Apr 2025 08:23:47
Hopefully not.
3.) 16 Apr 2025 09:19:30
Fork, I'm hoping the Americans are working behind the scenes looking for a new manager.
We really need someone, as there's an awful amount of work to do reg recruitment.
4.) 16 Apr 2025 09:34:17
Fork he was also linked to Juventus 4 weeks ago I think. he reportedly turned down Schalke as they we in 2nd division. would be a good appointment IMO though.
5.) 16 Apr 2025 09:39:25
The talk of another european manager is giving me the fear! unless it's Jose ?.
6.) 16 Apr 2025 10:28:57
My fear would be having Jose as our manager.
7.) 16 Apr 2025 10:36:33
My fear with a foreign manager is not coming to terms with Scottish Football.
We need a coach with a clear attacking identity/ approach to playing against a low block in 90% of the games domestically. It's hard to find a manager who has experience of that. Gio and Clement both had successes in foreign leagues previously but didn't have a style of play that could be successful in Scotland.
Then you also require the mentality.
Can a young coach cope with the expectations and unrelenting demands of managing Rangers. I suppose we won't know unless given that opportunity.
It really will be interesting to see who the DoSO chooses in the end. I don't think I would be considering people like Marco Rose, Tedesco, Russell Martin etc.
Muscat's style of play would interest me as would someone like a Knutsen or Terzic. I would have loved someone like Bielsa if he was younger.
8.) 16 Apr 2025 11:51:46
Mourinho would be a disaster.
9.) 16 Apr 2025 11:55:32
True Blue you then mention 3 foreign managers as people you would like with 1 in his 40s and 2 in early to mid 50s. none of who will have experience of playing against a low block. not questioning the choices just the logic. if it were any of them or Tedesco they would appear to be good choices.
10.) 16 Apr 2025 13:00:13
I suspect we will see a 'foreign' manager recruited - which I have no issues with.
11.) 16 Apr 2025 13:25:08
The 4 I mentioned I like is down to their style of football.
It's attacking, fast paced and exciting.
Daniele De Rossi also intrigued me.
Marco Rose, Tedesco and Martin I haven't enjoyed watching their teams in the past.
Again, it's only a personal opinion hence why I said it will be interesting to see who the DoSO chooses.
12.) 16 Apr 2025 13:51:12
Roma are the only other team I follow every week.
De Rossi would be a major risk.
I'd rather Motta.
13.) 16 Apr 2025 13:58:35
Low block not that difficult to work out its a numbers game with big players for me
Big cf couple big cbs ball into box a lot
Sounds simple and old school but hey was good enough for walter.
14.) 16 Apr 2025 14:03:12
And recently its been more like we are being outplayed and not so much low block.
15.) 16 Apr 2025 15:00:50
Forever, how come Celtic innihilate every low block with a team of midgets then. We need players with smart movement and someone to see the pass to find such players.
16.) 16 Apr 2025 15:26:01
Forever, low block is where the defensive line starts and the space in between the lines and teams still play that way. The issue we have and have always had with this is that when teams attack form that position quickly then we get caught upfield and don't defend well against it. our FBs getting forward normally means we are short at the back and man for man often.
17.) 16 Apr 2025 16:40:56
Good post True blue. Agree with what you are saying ?.
18.) 16 Apr 2025 17:31:49
Royal Raskin was impressive before he left for Juve, believe Motta would be a great appointment for us.
28 Feb 2025 19:21:10
Leon King possibly away to Queens Park, good move for the lad under Davidson.
1.) 28 Feb 2025 19:40:10
Read that, Fork. We need better.
2.) 01 Mar 2025 10:40:21
Let's see how he does on loan Mark44 before making judgement. How many stand out 21 year old centre halves do you know?
3.) 01 Mar 2025 12:49:43
The boy at Dundee Utd.
4.) 01 Mar 2025 12:51:55
I've seen nothing from him to suggest he'll be a player for us.
McMinn, at 10k a week do you think we're getting value for money?
5.) 01 Mar 2025 12:53:52
Sorry meant Graham at Falkirk on loan from Dundee the Utd guy is 24.
6.) 01 Mar 2025 13:45:10
He's not a Centre Half he's a CDM always has been, it's been discussed on here many times.
7.) 01 Mar 2025 22:21:03
Fork I think you're right but he's never been given a chance though in this league it's hammer throwers and monsters in midfield, put your foot on the ball and get flattened by a stampede of them, most teams actually make Kilmarnock look cultured.
8.) 02 Mar 2025 09:39:55
Played CDM a few times for the b team and once or twice as a sub for lundstram I think it was, he didn't look out of place and has an eye for a pass.
24 Feb 2025 13:44:46
Ferguson announced.
1.) 24 Feb 2025 13:50:48
Pantomine continues.
2.) 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 13:57:18
With Charai, Dodds, McCann and McGregor.
Hopefully knock some heads together in the dressing room and make Raskin captain.
4.) 24 Feb 2025 13:57:27
This has walter smith vibes. Now we need to weed the players who are not up to it.
5.) 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 13:59:01
Did I see Billy Dodds mentioned, gawd help us.
7.) 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 14:03:54
I am done completely and utterly done.
9.) 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 14:05:02
The loneys have taken over the asylumn, i could understand Kevin Thompson or Neil McCann. Ridiculous decision.
11.) 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 14:07:37
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 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 14:13:58
Blazin' Squad anyone?
15.) 24 Feb 2025 14:14:15
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 14:18:10
EHL I'm going to guess you mean by who the the coaching team put on the field and who they leave in the house?
17.) 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 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 14:26:59
Well that let's us all know what club thinks of Thomson.
20.) 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 14:27:48
Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not EHL?
22.) 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 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 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 14:40:29
Tav will soon get rid of them also.
26.) 24 Feb 2025 14:41:41
Ehl, what is Thomson role at rangers.
He now knows what they think of him.
27.) 24 Feb 2025 14:48:43
Fergie will absolutely root out who shouldn't be at the club.
28.) 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 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 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 15:08:28
Time for Koppen to go as well, wee question, tim Big Kris?
32.) 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 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 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 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 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 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 15:22:05
Gers how could you understand Kevin Thomson what has he done to justify being head coach.
39.) 24 Feb 2025 15:36:00
LaudrupHagi - been some wild posts over the last few days, but that takes the biscuit.
40.) 24 Feb 2025 15:37:19
John, I've not actually been. Able to work that one out.
Reading between theo e it's more about a longer term strategic piece with his academy. Giving us a footprint in the east.
41.) 24 Feb 2025 15:47:15
I read a press piece where they are thanking Ferguson and his management team for stepping in so it seems they come as a package. I agree with SWS let's just get behind the team for once.
42.) 24 Feb 2025 15:58:32
So Kevin Thomsons the "rent" sorry water boy?, forgot Storms the other one??.
43.) 24 Feb 2025 15:58:34
Who brought Charai in and why, who brought gobskitter Stewart in and why?
44.) 24 Feb 2025 16:13:52
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 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 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 16:26:04
Mills, Stewart brought in to oversee the sale of the club. That was his role at Man Utd re Ratcliffe.
48.) 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 16:45:15
Good luck to Bazza and his team ?.
50.) 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 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 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 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 17:11:58
To quote Coisty this morning, Er. I'm a little bit surprised. Let's see what happens.
55.) 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 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 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 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.
59.) 24 Feb 2025 17:31:43
Not over the moon myself, but it's only until the end of the season until we get someone permanent.
60.) 24 Feb 2025 17:40:25
Rabbi and others,
how will he do that then?
61.) 24 Feb 2025 18:10:17
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 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.
Fork KT ain't cutting my grass am the water boy.
63.) 24 Feb 2025 19:10:23
Zikos I'm putting it into context we have went from payin clement 40-50 k to paying four people 25 k.
64.) 24 Feb 2025 19:11:34
Lol aye you are a bit wet lately??.
65.) 24 Feb 2025 19:13:07
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 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 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.
68.) 24 Feb 2025 20:06:58
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.
69.) 24 Feb 2025 20:41:23
Hagi stop shouting fgs?.
70.) 24 Feb 2025 20:41:28
Rabbi what is Cantwell saying on instagram.
71.) 24 Feb 2025 21:33:31
100% agree with that Rabbi.
72.) 24 Feb 2025 22:10:40
This appointment is the correct decision. it's about getting the bad eggs out and understanding our way. fergie might or not be the right man but he'll give a damn good try n doing so. He won't give anyone a kiss or cuddle if they're no feeling upty it that's for sure.
73.) 24 Feb 2025 23:55:47
So true SHAGGER! Hope they react in the right way with ugly mate.
74.) 25 Feb 2025 02:10:50
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.
75.) 25 Feb 2025 06:53:15
@ Fork, i just had to be heard hahaha watp.
76.) 25 Feb 2025 22:36:43
Stormtrooper although I don't agree with keeping pc I agree whoever made the final call ps has been made to look like a wasted appointment says something backing manager a few days later he's gone.
24 Feb 2025 11:53:00
I'm hearing Ferguson, McConnell and Dodds interim, don't know if it's accurate tbf.
1.) 24 Feb 2025 12:12:20
Bring back Clement! ?.
2.) 24 Feb 2025 12:34:00
McCann not McConnell ??.
3.) 24 Feb 2025 12:34:46
Great Post again EHL. The facts of PC's reign set out clearly. Up to each fan to absorb these facts and draw their own conclusions.
4.) 24 Feb 2025 12:58:12
Barry Ferguson a half-witted ned should be nowhere near our dug-out.
The inept board thinking we are mugs and will accept "a Rangers man". The staunch brigade will no doubt start cheering his name.
If it's to steady the ship for the last ten, hopefully more games dependent on the Europa league why not approach someone like Alex McLeish?
5.) 24 Feb 2025 12:58:35
Good post as ever EHL. PC has been sold a pup. Circumstances and trading loss dictated staffing. That makes his job even harder but PC was confident enough in his abilities to get a tune out of the team. But something has gone wrong in the dressing room. Lose the dressing room, results suffer. Results suffer you lose the fans. Ultimately you lose your job. It's a damn shame and I'd like to hear the truth from PC. But I'm sure he will have signed a non disclosure agreement. Nice guy shafted but we move on. I'm embarrassed to say I'm excited how things will pan out. Onwards with a few players getting a severe roasting and captaincy removed from Tav. Step up Raskin.
6.) 24 Feb 2025 13:00:46
Allan McGregor will be taking over from Colin Stewart also.
7.) 24 Feb 2025 13:06:55
The board are largely to blame but decisions on quality signings before PC cannot be laid at his door. This combined with the growing impact of FFP has restricted the club but other clubs have successfully adjusted
As for PC, from a squad of around 22, he has had a say in around 12 of them and the rest were inherited. He may not have selected these players but accepted the model and the players being given to him and the challenge to grow. He has no excuses as the stats speak for themselves. Was he dealt a rough hand yes but he took the money and the contract extension and was not up to it. Injuries, bad form and suspensions and playing every 3 days are all part of football at Rangers and Celtic and you sink or swim.
In the end the board, the manager and the players have not been up to it for 3 seasons.
8.) 24 Feb 2025 13:24:36
Ranger100, you're sounding like one of them yourself, best cm in Scotland for many years, he'll be coming in to show these players what playing for Rangers actually means.

More fergie bashing. i repeat we as a club are getting what we deserve we have one of the most hate filled fan bases in the world. We hate our own legends ?? give it a break. That half witted ned has won more trophies as Rangers captain that this current squad has been in finals or league title chases. disgusting fans.
10.) 24 Feb 2025 13:36:19
Big Eck had a recent health scare, was being checked out re:- head knocks impairing him.
11.) 24 Feb 2025 13:50:17
Already been mentioned, but Barry will be there to tell this group of players what playing for Rangers is all about. If that is the remit, there is only one person better and that would be Ally McCoist who won't be giving up his TV contracts for a four month gig, regardless of who it is with. Our season is all but over, all we have to play for is pride and Barry will be able to tell them exactly how to do that. If this was a permanent appointment I would be a bit more sceptical but given that it's a short term gig I have no qualms about it. Hopefully the chat about Neil McCann being involved is correct, I advocated for him being part of the management team on a few occasions.
12.) 24 Feb 2025 15:24:09
Ferguson would have asked for Dodds so he wasn't the thickest in the group .
24 Feb 2025 10:30:31
See the Sun saying Rae and Van Der Heyden away too.
1.) 24 Feb 2025 11:50:15
Yip posted this earlier I'm glad Rae is away sorry to say.
2.) 24 Feb 2025 13:00:31
Rae gone. can't say I'm sorry.
Fork's banter posts with other poster's replies to Fork's banter posts
20 Apr 2025 07:48:08
Coops and Florida Bear, I noticed u both posted that SG is coming back from "good sources", not questioning your source or your posts guys, but did SG not say no, as he wasn't ready to get back into it at this time? Someone posted that on here, can't mind who though, cheers guys?.
1.) 20 Apr 2025 10:34:45
Fork, SG is supposed to have denied he's coming back in a podcast apparently, according to a poster on here. Can't remember who it was.
2.) 20 Apr 2025 10:36:32
It's all over social media fork and i think it's coming from what the bookies are saying as them have them fav and 2nd fav for the job. For me I don't think
It will be either.
3.) 20 Apr 2025 10:39:56
I don't think SG would be the answer Fork, and I would hope for better.
However, if it is him, then he'll have my full support as I will always be grateful for 55, and in now way, do I view him, or think of him, as a "rat" (absolute red neck) as was recently posted on here.
4.) 20 Apr 2025 10:40:34
Fork, i really can't see this happening, but who knows.
5.) 20 Apr 2025 11:32:39
Not me I don't really want him back tbh, was just asking Coops n FB their thoughts guys as they had heard from trusted sources??.
6.) 20 apr 2025 11:56:07
not a great manager, but mire importantly might be his family connections which Rangers will definitely not want to be even minute, y associated with
his daughters mans dad in particular.
7.) 20 Apr 2025 12:08:20
That the kinahans TT?
8.) 20 Apr 2025 12:38:47
It was from a friend of mine who was told by a former long-term employee with Rangers Fork ?.
9.) 20 Apr 2025 12:46:59
Redneck ?? was expecting your usually boak rubbish. He is a rat plain and simple some fans will accept what he done I won't. S. G. will always be a rat to me.
10.) 20 Apr 2025 13:00:45
Chhers coops appreciated ??.
11.) 20 Apr 2025 13:04:56
Wasn't wanting your source Coops was wondering what u thought of Gerrard saying no, not at this time bud??.
12.) 20 Apr 2025 14:42:10
My source is very close to Rangers Fork says it's happening which surprised me too ?.
13.) 20 Apr 2025 14:57:08
Cheers FB?.
18 Apr 2025 07:48:17
Dodgy refereeing and initial tactical naivety cost us dear last night, along with rashness and an awol RB. Yilmaz injured n off, nsiala on and we still have a 5, dio to lwb n jefte to lcb was just so wrong in every way, hagi sacrificed at ht to rectify his mistake (hagi wasn't in it much tbf) dessers head fried from pen and a fecking booking, where was cerny for most of the game, igamane and danilo should've been on earlier, Barron tried but not quite up to it yet (needs more at this level) .
Looked better at times at 442 when balogun had to depart ( big guy has no luck) he was raging and has probably played his last game if its a break, shame, love the guy.
"It's a real long way to go to say goodbye" some will get the ref? we constantly punch above our weight in Europa and its a thrill to watch at times, behind the couch at others, BF won't get the job and we will bid adieu to a few, who knows how we'll do once the 49ers take over, but I'm sure they have identified what needs to change.
Onwards to our next adventure. ?.
1.) 18 Apr 2025 08:27:59
Pretty fair summary Fork, although I disagree with the refereeing comment.
It's just a little frustrating that the back three has been ineffective more often than it's been effective - hopefully we revert back to a four for the remainder of the season.
2.) 18 Apr 2025 08:29:06
Fork, well summed up pal.
3.) 18 Apr 2025 08:38:13
Yeh, agree with most of that Fork, especially the second half .
For the life of me I can't see how VAR didn't give the pen. The penalty to them in injury time was just a kick in the teeth.
The boy Williams is just so good, better players than Tav have struggled to get near him. Unlucky with injuries again but Balogen and Yilmaz were carrying injuries I think.
Overall, amazing that that group got to the quarters and once again Rangers had a great Euro season.
Wee not on Jefte, I was a big fan initially but went down hill last few months, hope he keeps going because there's good points to his game.
4.) 18 Apr 2025 08:40:32
Was crazy taking dio out the middle of the park. Lost all our shape.
5.) 18 Apr 2025 08:43:03
Dont know if anybody saw jefte in 1st half half turn round and jog towards our goal when they were attacking he wasn't even looking at the ball. he's so tactically inept its crazy. His spacial awareness and footballing brain is very poor.
6.) 18 Apr 2025 08:57:52
Should we play 442 from now on? Quite a lot of people are now onboard with this set up. Maybe we should have listened sooner.
7.) 18 Apr 2025 09:44:28
He's only 21 though Paul. Hahaha. If that was a 21 year old scottish youngster he'd be in the B team months ago. Jefte is one of the worst players at top level I've ever witnessed. Loan deal might sort him though.
8.) 18 Apr 2025 10:14:38
I wouldn't play 4-4-2, think we need 3 in the middle in order to control games.
9.) 18 Apr 2025 10:18:45
Paul, I'm convinced the 'footballing brain' is not in the top 3 requirements these days. The number crunchers and sports scientists have more to say on wht THEY regard as an athlete and player. Natural skill and footballing brains are few and far away these days.
10.) 18 Apr 2025 10:51:49
Jefte defended well in 2nd half people just looking to nothing.
11.) 18 Apr 2025 10:52:30
Coldo no we shouldn't play 442 ever as it didn't work either.
12.) 18 Apr 2025 15:44:42
Agree on both points Storm. watch every team when another breaks and players regularly don't sprint back. if we want our FBs to attack then we need to find way to defend when they are out of position as it is impossible to ask them to sprint forward and then back if we lose the ball.
17 Apr 2025 22:53:13
What a result for bodo.
1.) 17 Apr 2025 23:37:01
Superb result for Bodø and Norway as a whole.
2.) 18 Apr 2025 07:14:49
First time a Norwegian club has made the final 4.
3.) 18 Apr 2025 07:32:55
Apart from our result, it was a great night for football. Watched the Man U collapse and comeback the Bodo penalties. Epic.
17 Apr 2025 18:49:36
Guys I trust the input from Asa, John, Ibrox and EHL on the inside btw, this I'll take as legit before I'd take the words of hacks who are paid to put out stories, mainly made up, when they have no idea they fabricate nonsense, the club has a tight rein on the business and will let them know when it's time, don't get caught up on negative journalistic spin, anyway njoy tonight guys, could be the start of something special??????.
1.) 17 Apr 2025 19:16:50
Fork I agree with you mate although it is disconcerting reading supposedly sports journalist writing the opposite.
2.) 17 Apr 2025 19:30:32
Ows you agree but you still have doubts ? too many paranoid fans.
3.) 17 Apr 2025 19:42:29
Noise OWS, they want us to fail bud, no one likes us, we don't care bud, let them howl at the moon mate??.
17 Apr 2025 08:21:52
For tonight
Kelly
Yilmaz
Tav
Soapy
Balogun
Jefte
Raskin
Dio
Hagi
Cerny
Dessers.
1.) 17 Apr 2025 08:56:20
Thats probably right, but i would love a 442 but canny see it
kelly
tav soutter balogun jefte
cerny raskin Diomande hagi or bajrami
dessers igamane
2 in the box through balls from midfield, crosses in box and long balls into the box. they would not be used to that as most teams sit in against them at home.
2.) 17 Apr 2025 08:59:15
I'd prefer Igamane instead of Hagi.
3.) 17 Apr 2025 09:03:11
Only change from your line-up for me fork would be igamane for dessers.
4.) 17 Apr 2025 10:29:23
Could see Butland starting?.
5.) 17 Apr 2025 10:21:58
We don't have the midfield for a 442. He's tried it already.
Also, igamane can't play off the left. If he's starting over anyone it's dessers, which he should be.
6.) 17 Apr 2025 11:21:04
I think Dessers will get the nod but it should be Iggy on this one.
He holds the ball up and is much stronger. His distance striking is way way better too which we might need.
7.) 17 Apr 2025 11:37:38
Igamane has to play surely.
8.) 17 Apr 2025 11:56:35
I can't see dessers not starting whether that's right or wrong is a different matter but he will 100% start tonight.
9.) 17 Apr 2025 12:31:26
Agreed Storm?.
10.) 17 Apr 2025 12:32:45
I've a feeling Butland might start as well ?.
11.) 17 Apr 2025 12:38:58
Is Soutter available tonight?
12.) 17 Apr 2025 13:03:00
Yes Baxter, both him and diomande r back.
13.) 17 Apr 2025 13:10:28
For me anyway, dessers is a certainty to start ?.
14.) 17 Apr 2025 13:18:32
I'd be keeping Cerny and Diomande behind our cf he impressed in Turkey.
15.) 17 Apr 2025 13:41:26
Ive got a feeling Butland will play tonight.
16.) 17 Apr 2025 14:25:35
100% spot on with that statement, Storm.
We can all have who we would like in or out the first 11 but Ferguson seems to have a stable first 11 that he likes apart from the odd tweak.
17.) 17 Apr 2025 14:37:54
Seeker, it would be Kelly for me.
We'll soon find out.
18.) 17 Apr 2025 16:39:26
Not sure Mark, I think Butland is the better goalie. Whoever plays I hope they have a belter of a game.
19.) 17 Apr 2025 17:22:25
Get the feeling whoever plays in goal will be busy.
I'm going into this game quite confident.
20 Apr 2025 19:51:25
Europe quali's to think about, spot on Coops??.
20 Apr 2025 11:37:02
INTR I admire your steadfast belief bud?.
19 Apr 2025 19:14:21
An injustice it is an injustice Cheers ????.
19 Apr 2025 14:55:34
Thanks pieter for including me in such esteemed company, I can neither confirm or deny that I know nothing????.
19 Apr 2025 10:28:29
No disrespect bud, but that's a whopper for a first post and contrary to posters with inside the club info, feel your buds at it.
20 Apr 2025 14:57:08
Cheers FB?.
20 Apr 2025 13:04:56
Wasn't wanting your source Coops was wondering what u thought of Gerrard saying no, not at this time bud??.
