All over Social media is pointing towards Jose or Gerrard getting the job seems to be everywhere for it not to be something in it?
In fact just read one that's saying Gerrard has agreed in principle to return Barry apparently offered to be his assistant but is choosing to leave his options open at the moment. No idea any truth in it or not.
I will say 49ers may want and could afford Jose
Whether they could entice him him is another story and I'm not sure how he would do up here yes great manager but falls out with folk to easily and had a lot of pay offs along with his successes.
Gerrard he did bring back a professionalism back to Ibrox he did start off our European runs and he did deliver 55 and when he left we were sitting top of the league and had got our team competing for the first time I think since we came back up?
I complained about him before 55 and wasn't entirely convinced but looking back I think now Tav as captain and seeing how many managers he's went through being Captain is a story in itself
For the 49ers Gerrard is a worldwide name and they may look upon his tenure before being a decent one and one they might think he could build on it with their backing?
I'm actually genuinely behind Gerrard coming back if that's who the 49ers want and they will back him to get a good team together he will have learned from last time and now knows what he's up against
For him to come back I'd reckon 49ers would have made promises so yeah I think I'd be genuinely happy to see him back.
Think we could do worse although some would say do better ?.
1.) 20 Apr 2025 10:22:40
Folk really need tae stay away from the papers, they talk absolute nonsense. Boookies also don't help as they know they can make a fortune off folk who buy into this and make decent odds on these guys.
Then folk canny count and think 2+2=5.
Come on Stig you should know by now it's just paper talk.
2.) 20 Apr 2025 10:23:22
Stingo, Rangers ain't paying any manager 10m a season, lowering wages so we can pay our next manager 10m, do not think so.
3.) 20 Apr 2025 10:25:08
I don't do social media but again since 49rs takeover news was broke i have always said GERRARD WILL BE BACK NEXT SEASON
I don't have any sources etc but if gerrard had the funds after he win 55 he would have not left for villa.
4.) 20 Apr 2025 10:32:00
The rumours on twitter etc… are due to them being favs with the bookies.
I for one will/ can't get behind S. G. I just don't think I have it in me but will wait until Rangers appoint the next manager.
5.) 20 Apr 2025 10:37:21
My star and BBJ
That's why I said I can't see it being Jose
I'm more inclined to think the Gerrard rumours could wave substance to it
What do you both think of the Gerrard Rumour?
6.) 20 Apr 2025 10:38:41
You have read the footballw gospel on facebook. The most tim page there is.
7.) 20 Apr 2025 10:41:53
No idea, Stig. But whoever we get has a massive job on their hands.
8.) 20 Apr 2025 10:46:18
I would like to give my opinion on Jose, and that there isn't a snowballs chance in hell, he'll be our next manager.
Regardless of any buyout, we are not paying him what he'll demand to become our manager, and most importantly, we don't need the drama he'll stir up.
Who would want a manager who plays his ticket everytime he wants to leave his current club in order for a big pay off?
9.) 20 Apr 2025 10:49:22
We would be better with Francie and Josie - rather than Gerrard or Jose - imho ??? - one for the more senior supporters? - at least we would get a funny laugh rather than the sad laugh we have had to endure for many a season supporting our club
Cmon consortium - make us truly smile and be happy again?.
10.) 20 Apr 2025 10:50:53
Cool stingo, hopefully it's not Gerrard, that would be the first wrong call from our new owners in my opinion but really can't see our next manager being Gerrard, he has failed everywhere.
11.) 20 Apr 2025 10:52:53
The only article I've seen saying SG is back and BF as no 2 is the footballw gospel page, he's generally wrong more than he is right so I wouldn't pay it much attention.
12.) 20 Apr 2025 11:08:51
My sentiments exactly with regards To Jose as stated above mate
He loves his pay offs ?.
13.) 20 Apr 2025 11:23:04
This whole Rumour started from McCoist on Talksport yesterday morning saying about mourinho and Gerrard it's unbelievable the amount of people on forums and social media who pretend there ITK or there mate is. ?.
14.) 20 Apr 2025 11:57:18
Listening to how they have done business with Leeds this organisation are serious with well balanced thought out mindset. There will be no scattergun approach of recklessness paying high wages to managers or players that don't merit the growth of the club. All their money and they signed nobody at Leeds in a Jan transfer window as they couldn't find the right player with the right profile or mentality. I love the thought of us being very well run after the last few years of not knowing when 2012 was potentially coming again. Exciting times coming ?.
15.) 20 Apr 2025 12:26:00
If you showed Gerrard's track record with his name not shown. Everyone and I generally believe everyone would be shouting no way, no chance not good enough.
16.) 20 Apr 2025 12:41:26
Correct pieter. I am very confident when I say S. G.
Will not be the next Rangers manager. It's just my opinion because anyone gets their knickers in a twist.
17.) 20 Apr 2025 12:47:04
Guys for me it's a much better chance that Russell Martin will be our next manager as opposed to it being jose mourinho ?.
18.) 20 Apr 2025 12:49:18
You have a point there Pieter.
19.) 20 Apr 2025 13:07:05
Papers and their heavy bookie sponsorship is just rinsing folk for easy money.
20.) 20 Apr 2025 13:45:21
INTR gerrard knew we had 2 ways to get money to strengthen.
1, sell players. He refused.
2, beat malmo and get CL football. He failed.
It was his own fault he wasn't backed.
21.) 20 Apr 2025 13:58:47
Correct royal Raskin.
22.) 20 Apr 2025 14:12:37
I honestly do not think the 49ers give a toss about a "big name" manager. It'll be whoever fits their and the DoF vision.
23.) 20 Apr 2025 15:31:29
You ask my opinion on SG Stig.
Well for me there is no chance in hell do we bring him back after the way he left and I'm surprised as many would want him back.
He chose to leave us for a big club etc and tucked tail and ran. If he had come out and said I'm taking it to be close to my family again I would have understood but not to join a big club.
He should have sold many players but argued he wanted them to stay and we lost out big time, so it's a no for me as he has proved he really isn't that good a manager since he left. Still thank him for stopping 10IAR that's it.
24.) 20 Apr 2025 15:54:10
Big Brenda ain't doing to bad across the city after coming back… Majority of their fans didn't want him back? Gerrard is probably already signed up to return and to be fair the list of candidates are shocking.
25.) 20 Apr 2025 16:04:48
Fair assessment BBJ
Wonder if we will be surprised by who we get.
26.) 20 Apr 2025 16:13:43
Correct BbJ just shows how desperate some of our fans are that they would take him back.
27.) 20 Apr 2025 16:27:35
You're the 49ers, you can get jose, you have two clubs Rangers and Leeds hmmm.
Behave, jose is not going to be Rangers manager.
28.) 20 Apr 2025 16:29:40
I would like an old head manager
this ideal of young manager is stupid he's just more likely to leave when a decent offer comes along.
29.) 20 Apr 2025 16:52:21
I agree bbj I'll always thank Gerrard for stopping their tiar, but I would rather potential new owners look elsewhere when appointing a new manager. Gerrard's a no for me. I'm not keen on mourhino either.
30.) 20 Apr 2025 18:27:29
I just want a manager who gives us an attacking style of play and not turgid sideways passing for no reason, hopefully whoever comes in to run the club gives the new manager decent funds to build a squad, i'm not expecting spending £10m on one player but i would at least expect to be able to buy 3 or 4 bits of quality at £4m or £5m if we get scouting right.
31.) 20 Apr 2025 20:21:42
I'm not someone who's ITK. But I can caterogically tell you now, that 200k per week Jose mourinho will not be the Rangers manager next season.
19 Apr 2025 09:15:41
Quick one
See Jason Ayto name being mentioned more on the DOF role across various platforms.
Anyone heard anything concrete?
1.) 19 Apr 2025 09:51:56
Stig, no one knows who the next DOF is going to be. It's all speculation.
I don't think we'll have to wait too long to find out though.
Next few weeks should be interesting.
Good to see you posting. Cancel that break you were thinking of taking from here.
2.) 19 Apr 2025 10:02:53
Stig don't know if he has the experience we need tbh as he was assistant to Edu at Arsenal and missed out to Berta recently in the main role.
3.) 19 Apr 2025 10:12:37
Thanks Mark, I'm just going to to pop in out when I hear anything of interest to post.
Jason Ayto rumour - He might be a good appointment don't know much about him other than what I've read and seems well thought of down south with some other clubs apparently circling around him.
But thanks for your sentiments Mark, looking forward to seeing what unfolds over coming months.
4.) 19 Apr 2025 10:12:53
The Stig, think he was hoping for a permanent promotion at Arsenal after Edu moved on - but they opted for the fella from Athletico Madrid.
Seems to have a pretty good reputation in the game.
5.) 19 Apr 2025 11:31:25
Yes that's what I was reading EHL.
Wondered if that might sway him to move on if he gets a good offer with a good opportunity perhaps the 49ers could offer him such an opportunity at our club?
A chance to start the revolution of their reign, perhaps ?.
6.) 19 Apr 2025 13:36:50
Always look forward to your posts, stig ?.
12 Apr 2025 12:50:40
@ John,
John couple things you've posted got me thinking. You may have heard some different names mentioned on players we may be interested in?
Would you be able to name a couple that you have heard?
Also, do you know if we're still awaiting a response from Boyle and Mulligan?
1.) 12 Apr 2025 13:22:33
Boyle said no. We won't pay what he is getting at Hibs.
Mulligan has rejected us twice.
Plenty of names being mentioned. We will wait and see.
If we have a large transfer pot.
2.) 12 Apr 2025 13:30:26
No chance we have a large transfer pot.
3.) 12 Apr 2025 13:30:57
Think I might have taken Boyle as well
And not good news regarding mulligan
Wonder what our top wage outlay would be for the correct player.
4.) 12 Apr 2025 13:34:07
In the last game when Boyle scored he was ? the fans knew from then he wouldn't be signing.
5.) 12 Apr 2025 13:49:06
Thought the Boyle interest was the April Fool, delighted to hear turned us down.
6.) 12 Apr 2025 13:51:06
I'm glad we're not caving to wage demands for a player that has no future value, but Hibs must be paying him a fortune 7/ 8 grand a week must be.
7.) 12 Apr 2025 13:51:22
Bit strange the boy from Dundee rejecting us ? Boyle I thought was going home to finish career in oz.
8.) 12 Apr 2025 14:28:18
The boy from Dundee probably fancies a move down south and thinks it will further his career more than us.
He could also fancy Aberdeen as an example, with the moves some of their players have gotten over last few years it could prove a clever move and better than sitting on bench and in stands for us.
9.) 12 Apr 2025 14:41:48
Ajd, could you please tell the rest of us what our transfer pot is?
10.) 12 Apr 2025 15:00:00
Mulligan and his family are huge Celtic fans so that maybe explains why he rejected us. Maybe he thinks Celtic might eventually come in for him.
11.) 12 Apr 2025 15:54:25
Ajd, you don't think we'll have a half decent amount of £££ to spend this summer once the takeover goes through and we sell a few players?
12.) 12 Apr 2025 16:07:31
Boyle is like griffiths and mulligan might regret that decision.
13.) 12 Apr 2025 16:36:04
Storm Boyle home is Scotland.
14.) 12 Apr 2025 17:04:57
Banker I don't post April fool stuff. Problem re Boyle is Saudis are paying 7k of his salary Nat hibs. He's on 9.5 at hibs.
15.) 12 Apr 2025 17:07:28
Stevie I was told Wrexham had made an offer with certain first team football.
16.) 12 Apr 2025 17:54:33
If Mulligan did turn us down even once, he shouldn't have been asked again, walk away and leave him where he is if that's the case ?.
17.) 12 Apr 2025 18:14:55
Strom he's from mastrick in aberdeen ?.
18.) 12 Apr 2025 18:48:14
I know that but he said he wanted to end his career in oz as he plays for them does he not? I should have worded it better but fact remains he said he wanted to play there.
19.) 12 Apr 2025 19:46:02
Mulligan currently gets 360 quid a week at dundee. Football a very short career. Out with Rangers and Celtic in scotland your not retiring mid 30s at any other club.
20.) 12 Apr 2025 20:38:37
John that would be a fantastic move for him.
They're a club on the up. They're going places and I look at them like a Bournemouth of years ago, they're going to climb the leagues over next few seasons so a young guy lol mulligan could find himself in the epl in a few seasons if he went there and progressed.
Good luck to him I say.
21.) 12 Apr 2025 23:50:51
Boyle was never offered a contract.
08 Apr 2025 19:47:05
Hi EHL,
Do you know whether Sterling is being moved on this summer, please?
I'm sure I've read you say he needs to be moved on. I get the impression you're not a big fan of him?
1.) 08 Apr 2025 20:04:58
I honestly have no idea Stig - I wouldn't imagine he's top of the list of players we'll look to move on, or that there would be much interest in his signature - so I assume he'll stay.
As for me, I'm not a fan.
As much as I appreciate his attitude, I think he's pretty limited technically.
2.) 08 Apr 2025 21:02:05
Weve a few players who are billed as technical players but are useless here. I wouldn't mind 10 players with sterlings attitude over the 'technical'players we have.
3.) 08 Apr 2025 21:18:04
Wouldn't mind some players with good attitudes and some ability.
4.) 08 Apr 2025 21:19:42
Like who BigDado?
5.) 08 Apr 2025 22:25:05
If we got first half of never season out of sterling fit we may get a decent fee for him in January, if not for his injuries he's be a cracking player for us.
6.) 08 Apr 2025 22:39:53
Ehl.
Bajrami
Lawrence
Cortes so far
Danilo
Even cifuentes
Davies
Jefte?
Yilmaz.
I like hagi but some say him.
7.) 09 Apr 2025 06:17:37
Stevie, with the exception of Bajrami from your list - not sure I recall any of those players attitudes being questioned.
8.) 09 Apr 2025 07:58:13
Danilo, hagi, bajrami, lawrence.
Lammers before them. All bench warmers, supposedly highly technical. Came with decent reputations. Have done zilch.
9.) 09 Apr 2025 07:58:59
Oh and dowell.
10.) 09 Apr 2025 09:10:44
I agree with EHL, Sterling is a very limited player who is adequate in many positions but excels in none of them. His positional sense is non existent and we can do so much better than him.
11.) 09 Apr 2025 11:18:59
Ehl think I read that all wrong bud ??.
12.) 09 Apr 2025 11:34:14
Sterling is one of our best performers.
My only real doubt over him is his injuries. Maybe he needs the same chef as Raskin.
13.) 09 Apr 2025 12:51:42
I thought we had extended Dujons deal a couple of months ago so that doesn't look like someone we are going to get rid of.
I think he.
14.) 09 Apr 2025 12:56:41
I thought we extended Dujons deal a few months ago, so it doesn't sound like someone we want rid of.
I think he's a decent player, he has good ability, pace and a willingness to get stuck into a tackle that is lacking in a lot of our squad .
Although he is no Tav going forward he is a good defensive full back and I think he would get better at centre back the more he plays there. Could fill in as a defensive midfielder in certain games but hope to never see him play on the wing, ever again.
I would definitely keep him as part of the squad for next season.
15.) 09 Apr 2025 14:39:07
I think he'd be a great CDM like a busquets type.
16.) 09 Apr 2025 15:30:12
If sterling was fit every week he would and should stay but you can also say same for yilmaz balogun danilo much like what we all kept saying about roofe jack but simple fact is he's not available enough when needed.
17.) 09 Apr 2025 15:34:36
I like sterling but his injury record is shocking if we could move him on for some money then I'd take it.
I know a player can get injured any time but for us the last 4 seasons with injuries has been a shambles.
Ryan jack
Roofe
Helander
Cortes
Danilo
Sterling
Matondo
Lawrence
Hagi
Soutar
All of them missed most or all of some seasons that's a lot of wages.
I'm blaming the players obviously they want to be fit and helping the team.
06 Apr 2025 10:22:02
EHL, 2 questions please:
1. You said you had heard a rumour of at least one coach we have approached in the championship, but the name you heard doesn't sound like it excites you?
2. You said you were leaning towards keeping the current team in place, but realistically, what are the chances of getting rid of most or all them and having them replaced with better quality?
1.) 06 Apr 2025 11:48:56
I said previously that i would like Barry involved in the new management set up and Mcgregor the goalkeeping coach, after thinking about it far more I've changed my mind, Barry's reaction to the players probably wouldn't be welcomed from the new manager, I'm not saying what he's saying isn't true because it really is but just don't think is manager would be having it.
New management team for me, maybe keep the Belgium/ Morocco coach but the rest can go.
2.) 06 Apr 2025 12:16:54
Mystar, I agree, imo, if BF thought he was in with a shout he wouldn't have been just as scathing yesterday ( although its 100% true) .
Managers may admit to having poor game, but don't totally RIP the team and morale to bits, especially just before a European tie.
New management won't accept those comments ( again, I agree with him, but shows why he hasn't progressed from Kelty)
3.) 06 Apr 2025 12:22:38
Hi Stig, the name from the Championship I'd heard didn't immediately excite me - but I did say that after I thought about it I could see the logic behind it.
I have been really impressed by McCann and Dodds - and would love to see them stay on. However, BF isn't a patch on PC and as time goes on I think his inexperience is going to become more and more apparent.
4.) 06 Apr 2025 12:46:23
We need to play with two wide players and stop playing igamane and dessers together also IMo.
5.) 06 Apr 2025 13:16:09
Hmm I'm wondering Scott Parker
Although not sure he'd come now given his Burnley side on a good route to promotion if they can se e it out pretty tight at the top .
6.) 06 Apr 2025 14:25:02
Storm I agree it's never worked with them together even for pc so don't know why we keep playing them together.
7.) 06 Apr 2025 15:06:39
Thestigno1 i agree with you mate ?If it was burnley manager scott parker that EHL was referring to i would doubt very much if he'd leave english premier league bound burnley, to become our next permanent manager ?.
8.) 06 Apr 2025 15:12:30
I'd hope it was Carrick over Parker but want neither.
9.) 06 Apr 2025 15:49:21
BAR, that is was shocked me mate especially with this game on Thursday, yes fire in about the players in the dressing room but saying it under media attention was way wrong.
10.) 06 Apr 2025 16:07:34
My star imo, Fergie thought he had a chance of getting job, that disappeared yesterday.
11.) 06 Apr 2025 17:08:09
Agree John last week they were his players this week not good enough for Rangers.
12.) 06 Apr 2025 17:56:38
He's tried everything with these players so a big dose of the truth and a few dropped shouldn't do any harm , only trouble being with a couple out suspended for Thursday we are struggling to implement that, Butland Dessers and Jefte have direct replacements, already got to change Soapy and Dio so predicting the line up will be anyone's guess.
13.) 06 Apr 2025 18:50:53
Hi kinda new to the chat but like reading all the rumours, If you are talking about championship managers the two that spring to my mind are Frank Lampard or Danny Rohl at Sheffield Wednesday. Rohl is admired in Germany and many English teams and is linked with Southampton and Leicester.
The outsider for me and would cost an arm and a leg but is box office is Jose who I believe will leave Turkey. I thank Barry at present but would he stay on as an assistant . Would keep the other coaches but depends on the new man wanting them. Its a big call for the new owners and they have to get it right. Just so frustrating as Celtic are there for the taking, they have lost 14 points from turn of the year but we have not once capitalised on it and gave them a free hit every bloody time.
14.) 06 Apr 2025 19:02:54
That's the one good thing that came from the game yesterday. We would have been in trouble had Ferguson got the job FT.
15.) 06 Apr 2025 19:26:20
I don't disagree with BF, the players are miles behind the standard and simply don't appear to give a toss. I don't buy this 'they're trained to forgot the loss and move on'. They should never forgot some of the loses and performances they've given us, it should haunt them.
Ferguson won't get the job because it's simply too big for him but I don't disagree with a thing he's said, the players should be embarrassed.
16.) 06 Apr 2025 19:37:07
He did still refer to them as his players yesterday, but nothing he said was wrong.
From the championship, Danny Rohl is the only one I'd take. Shouldve been Corberan.
Should be going for Motta or Terzic.
17.) 06 Apr 2025 19:43:38
The Wednesday fans seem to think Rohl has an agreement with Southampton already. Something to do with compensation they can't announce it until they are relegated.
He has done a good job there however.
18.) 06 Apr 2025 20:41:58
Doesn't matter if nothing he said was wrong what was wrong was him telling anyone that wanted to hear, dressing yes media no.
19.) 06 Apr 2025 21:30:54
I think I'll prefer to trust our managers judgement on that, thanks though.
20.) 06 Apr 2025 22:54:42
Personally i think they ripped thier own confidence apart to blame that on ferguson is laughable
when are we going to stop doing the same rubbish over and over we need to change everything starting with captain time to leave butland can go 90% of squad can leave.
I can take team losing but i can't take the lack of effor from these players poor mentality think theve all chucked it and are waiting to see what happens with bew board and possible new manager ao now they are all just coasting and staying clear of injury in case they need to move on and sure many of them will now that we are not going to overpay wages.
21.) 07 Apr 2025 05:52:22
Madness for anyone thinking what Ferguson done was the correct way.
22.) 07 Apr 2025 07:39:56
When PC kept it in the dressing room and smokescreen the press people were screaming out for him to just be brutally honest, now BF has said what we all thought and somehow that's wrong too. I agree, he's probably guilty of playing to the fans but he's fuming. I always liked how McCann talked about the game so would liked him involved in the future. The truth is, countless managers have took the blame for the inability to afford our main targets over the years or the fact that said targets didn't want to come. Dessers seemed to play his best when in Europe or coming off the bench.
23.) 07 Apr 2025 07:58:53
100% agree storm
Do you not think there could be a disconnect with what manager wants and the recruitment we were told before clement took over that he liked to operate with at least 4 wingers chopping and changing them depending on opponents but at Rangers the recruitment seemed to totally ignore signing wingers.
Ypu don't see Rangers hotting the byline anymore get opposition defenders facing thier own goal we make it easy for them. Swinging ball in from deep positions
Whens last time we seen tav jefte or yilmaz get right down the wing.
24.) 07 Apr 2025 07:59:31
Madness thinking your opinion holds more weight than anybody else's. It's about all I need to know about you really.
25.) 07 Apr 2025 08:24:40
So Star I am mad then as I want my manager to be calling players out I they show that type of performance. he didn't name individuals. It was only a matter of a few months that fans were complaining the last manager only quoted stats and didn't call the team out. BTW I appreciate you have an opinion but perhaps not calling other and who don't hold that opinion would be a better way to go. Read Tom's post on other discussions I you need more context.
26.) 07 Apr 2025 08:40:48
Angus him calling the team out in public ain't for me.
Dado all I can do is laugh at that man.

Saying that isn't a Rangers team is a great thing for they players hearing it publicity eh especially with a massive game days away.
28.) 07 Apr 2025 09:17:21
I think it's madness to be decrying Barry for doing what we have all wanted a Rangers manager to do for far too long. Supporters have the right to know that the manager has ripped players after a game. Nobody, and I mean not a single soul, ever told Sir Alex that he was wrong when he did something similar. Anyone going to tell me it was wrong when he did it?
I think the job has passed Barry by now, I think he would have been in with a shout before the run of results but not now. In my view, I don't think that even winning the Europa League would get him the job now. I would like to see elements from the current coaching team to be kept on, namely Barry as Assistant Manager and Neil McCann as a coach, but I really cannot see him being appointed manager now.
29.) 07 Apr 2025 09:44:01
Very cool with him telling the players what he thinks but it should be behind closed doors.
30.) 07 Apr 2025 10:26:30
Maybe it was about time someone publicly shamed them for their displays all season and running another manager out the door in clement
Maybe behind closed doors just hasn't cut it
Maybe publicly will hit home just how woefully bad they have been and not giving a F about anyone bar themselves.
31.) 07 Apr 2025 12:27:33
Stingo not just before a game like we have coming up, showed his inexperience in my eyes.
32.) 07 Apr 2025 13:07:35
Possibly My Star let his emotions probably get the better of him but I forgive him and agreed with what he said ?.
33.) 08 Apr 2025 15:01:06
Fergie doesn't know why we played well or when we played badly . but listen he's ragin so that's good, sadly though Dodds has no idea why he's there and wants back to go 12 rounds with the English language on bbc commentary, tactical genius McCann probably wants back on there as well. Btw he's a tactical genius after the game, not before it.
34.) 08 Apr 2025 16:08:13
Edit *why we played badly he can see when.
35.) 08 Apr 2025 18:26:04
My star I think Fergie spoke like a captain and not a manager after the game. I'm split on it, as a player I would have loved that kick up the arse done publicly and I would have shown it in my next game but looking at changing rooms I was in, a very large percentage would have been raging and spat the dummy and got right on the phone to agent.

Is this fans forum event on Wednesday night just going to be Patrick Stewart doing one of his briefings possible some updates about the progress of looking for a manger and possible DOF appointment
Or will it be something more detailed?
1.) 20 Apr 2025 17:05:00
I have a feeling the takeover will be announced? . As otherwise such a pathetic season for the team it doesn't really make sense breifing the fan base.
2.) 20 Apr 2025 17:38:54
It would need to be good news considering the season we've had.
3.) 20 Apr 2025 17:59:27
Paul I don't see any announcement until end of season mate I'd love something definitive sooner.
4.) 20 Apr 2025 19:47:46
Don't think it will be announced on Wednesday and don't even know how much PS could say about it either a lot of fans could be disappointed.

Thestigno1 has written an article entitled, The Next Glasgow Rangers Manager Will Need Time
1.) 18 Apr 2025 17:23:28
They will need time but progress has to be evident to get the time.
2.) 18 Apr 2025 17:38:25
Stig. Time is exactly what's needed, unfortunately the fan base will not allow time, they never do. The fan base is the biggest problem. Unfortunately until the fans change, the situation won't change whoever is in charge.
3.) 18 Apr 2025 18:07:38
Stig, keep the posts coming. You're a much respected poster on these pages.
4.) 18 Apr 2025 18:12:36
Guy you are so right on this. we want instance success and the same progress must be evident is always spouted. we like Knutsen but fail to realise that he has had since 2018 to get his squad and team to a level where they reached the EL semis. prior to that they did get to latter stages of Conference league but it isn't instantaneous and yet we would want him to be that for us if he were manager. hopefully this time the new owners have courage and stick with their choice.
5.) 18 Apr 2025 18:24:59
Good post stig ? if your away till next season, hope you and family have a great summer pal. Look forward to seeing you back next season my fellow bear ?.
6.) 18 Apr 2025 18:56:58
U mean he's coming back?? only kidding stiggy boy??.
7.) 18 Apr 2025 20:02:27
You were one that wanted Barry to get full time job
PC should have been kept till end of the season when then board new all we could get was Barry another wrong and embarrassing decision by the.
8.) 18 Apr 2025 20:04:16
If Rangers are serious about having the ability to win say 4 SPLs out of every 10, they would as a club from Board through Manager, coaches and most important through all our fans, we need to plan for the long term, not threaten Manager and individual players before Christmas. Manager must be given time and opportunity to build from a young base of players, with new blood added every year until something like season 2029/ 2030 to get a team capable of challenging every season from then on . We are far too impatient now and for last 10 years.
9.) 18 Apr 2025 20:25:52
PC Should have been bagged before Christmas nevermind kept on.
10.) 18 Apr 2025 22:23:17
Agree yoursperx but the reality is one loss to Celtic and fans will be crying for the next managers head.
11.) 18 Apr 2025 22:27:55
GTGAC. Absolutely correct mate.
12.) 19 Apr 2025 09:22:20
That's not true at all GTGAC. Its absolutely not the fans fault. We have to ensure that any project shows progress. If we see progress then the fans will get behind the project. If there is no progress then how can you expect fans to follow blindly?
13.) 19 Apr 2025 10:31:49
Dgers, Gio is a perfect example, European cup final, won Scottish cup and then qualified for champions league, if that's not progress I don't know what is, fans turned very quickly due to league form and he got the boot after a year. He SHOULD never have been sacked, in my opinion.
14.) 19 Apr 2025 15:29:37
Our champions league form was not progress and neither was our league form. We never progressed after the EL final and SC final. He SHOULD have been sacked.
16 Apr 2025 19:03:13
Trying to remember meant to post this other night
Was listening to Clyde 1 on way home think it was Monday night Celtic fan was going off on one because can't remember now was it Derek Johnstone or Hugh keevans had mentioned the takeover and believed it was close
This Celtic fan came on and rubbishd the whole thing I actually very nearly pulled the car over to call in ?
I've been on a couple times before a few years back and I thought that's it I'm calling in mans putting the C right ?
Then I thought better not can't have a rant at some stranger on the radio I do enough of that on here ???
Even worse think the night after Tuesday someone said something and for some reason thinking back on it I can't bloody remember what they said but again I was shouting obscenities at my radio in the car driving home
Anyone driving by would have thought I was on the hands free having an argument with someone ??
That's how my drive home at night goes at times listening to them all calling in no wonder idrink ?.
1.) 16 Apr 2025 19:12:44
Heard it or rather watch's it on instagram ????.
2.) 16 Apr 2025 19:20:53
Never listen to it anymore, some of the ? on it is nuts.
3.) 16 Apr 2025 19:52:44
Marvin Bartley couldn't stop laughing at the guy ?.
4.) 16 Apr 2025 20:08:31
Aw fork it can make for some good listening and funny moments
That guy on Monday he was raging which did make it very funny
I'm dying to call in when it's complete to ask how he's doing ?.
5.) 16 Apr 2025 23:30:02
Lol listened to stephen from springboig 49s ain't taken over he speaks to his friends lol WHAT A NUGGET.
6.) 17 Apr 2025 03:44:46
Big Stephen ? watched it on the FCBK
Great watching.
16 Apr 2025 07:32:11
Shout out to Eddie Howe hope he recovers quickly
It's amazing in this day and age Pneumonia can still be deadly with all the medicine and equipment we have it can still take your life
Fingers Crossed Eddie gets over it.
He's a talented Coach and I rate him highly.
1.) 16 Apr 2025 09:12:20
Wishing him well, Stig.
Always came across very decent.
2.) 16 Apr 2025 09:49:15
The wife had it a couple of years ago and was seriously ill for a few days. Still struggles with her breathing.
All the best to Eddie Howe who is a really good coach.
3.) 16 Apr 2025 10:10:27
My mother had pneumonia in 2021, the start of her downfall.
Wishing you all the best Eddie.
4.) 16 Apr 2025 12:00:03
Stig of those ill enough to be admitted to intensive care with pneumonia around 28% don't make it. They've been trying to reduce this figure for many years but haven't been able to change it.
These figures came from my consultant when I had pneumonia in 2014. I was on life support for 8 days and in an induced coma for 48 hours. I feel extremely lucky to have survived that and I have great sympathy for anyone that gets pneumonia. Wishing him a speedy recovery.
5.) 16 Apr 2025 12:39:28
His age and fitness will be in his favour as 85% of those who do die are over 75 and a majority of the rest are young babies and those with auto-immune issues.
not great though and hope he recovers.
6.) 16 Apr 2025 13:03:24
Correct Angus my mother was over 75 at the time mate, hopefully he will make a full recovery.
JFM glad you made a full recovery mate that must have being scary.
7.) 16 Apr 2025 13:37:08
Lost my dad to pneumonia only 47yr old ?.
8.) 16 Apr 2025 14:06:48
So sorry hearing that Boy Blue ? a young man.
9.) 16 Apr 2025 14:27:18
Very sorry to hear that BoyBlue
That's awful mate such a young age ?
JFM glad you made a full recovery mate.
Very scary illness no telling how your body reacts to it seems it can just hit folk really bad.
10.) 16 Apr 2025 14:38:19
Cheers mystar, it was incredibly scary, my wife was told when I was put in the coma that the following 48 hours were critical. I have had underlying medical condition since aged 11 which made it more difficult. Just happy to still be here.
11.) 16 Apr 2025 20:49:01
Newcastle not missing Eddie Howe much, 4 up against Palace.
20 Apr 2025 16:04:48
Fair assessment BBJ
Wonder if we will be surprised by who we get.
20 Apr 2025 11:08:51
My sentiments exactly with regards To Jose as stated above mate
He loves his pay offs ?.
20 Apr 2025 10:37:21
My star and BBJ
That's why I said I can't see it being Jose
I'm more inclined to think the Gerrard rumours could wave substance to it
What do you both think of the Gerrard Rumour?
19 Apr 2025 11:31:25
Yes that's what I was reading EHL.
Wondered if that might sway him to move on if he gets a good offer with a good opportunity perhaps the 49ers could offer him such an opportunity at our club?
A chance to start the revolution of their reign, perhaps ?.
19 Apr 2025 10:12:37
Thanks Mark, I'm just going to to pop in out when I hear anything of interest to post.
Jason Ayto rumour - He might be a good appointment don't know much about him other than what I've read and seems well thought of down south with some other clubs apparently circling around him.
But thanks for your sentiments Mark, looking forward to seeing what unfolds over coming months.
16 Apr 2025 23:58:52
It was obvious he meant league and I read it that way storm I don't even know nth poster but very obvious what he meant unless you all lost your common sense which seems to be the case these days on here
Everyone has to spell out in capitals what their implying
Jesus wept right enough what has happened on here folk are really killing the forum without realising it.
16 Apr 2025 20:13:22
BBJ
Let's be honest not just Ange they have a tendency to pick the right manager recently
Is it the right manager or is it down to the right recruitment that makes their managers look good
Then again think Ange told them to go for the players from the Asian league and they listened
we could get the best manager but recruitment could do terrible and he doesn't get a chance
both need to be on the ball this time.
16 Apr 2025 20:08:31
Aw fork it can make for some good listening and funny moments
That guy on Monday he was raging which did make it very funny
I'm dying to call in when it's complete to ask how he's doing ?.
16 Apr 2025 19:39:46
Zikos he's talking about managers and being successful at Rangers not players and their nationalities
Angus I didn't say we should limit it to Scottish hence why I said couldn't think of anyone that could really do a job for us right now
Moyes good manager think he should stick with Everton though seems a perfect fit for both parties and good luck to them (sorry Ed) ?
We should try to stop nitpicking and just enjoy the post for what it was
Would be great to have a Scottish manager and be successful again
Argument finished ✅ ?
Now more importantly can't wait to see what meltdown occurs when the takeover is complete ?.
16 Apr 2025 18:48:42
EHL
Can you rumour 1 name
John can you rumour 1 name
Both of you have heard about or possibly not heard about ?.
