Storm, I just saw your post to BB4.

What are you even talking about? Do you actually know what you're saying? Because I honestly don't.

I barely ever interact with the poster in question (Aph). I even told him weeks ago, openly on these pages, that I try to stay away from his posts because I don't like the stuff he puts up when everything is running smoothly, then suddenly drops all the crap he did the other day.

And I'll be absolutely blunt here I genuinely believe EHL left the site because he got fed up reading the same kind of posts over and over, constantly accusing folk of being this, that, and the other.

I don't like the guy and I rarely get involved in any of his posts, but when he comes onto the forum with that nonsense, I'll call it out the way I see it. I don't agree with accusing every other poster on here of anti-foreign rhetoric.

And to be honest, it also belittles the editors and people running the site if anyone seriously thinks they would allow genuinely xenophobic or anti-foreign behaviour to continue openly on the forum.

Is this why you really think Storm?

Now, has that been clear enough for you?

Mate, if you've got a problem with me, don't go to BB4 come directly to me.

I've already said before: if you don't like my posts, ignore me. It really is that simple.

But let me make this very clear I'm not anti-foreign and I'm not a xenophobe.

So I think it's pretty safe to say I wasn't even one of the people he was calling out, because I've never posted anything that could reasonably be seen as xenophobic or anti-foreign.

If I have- copy and past in reply, so I can actually read it?

I'm calling the post out because of the vindictiveness behind it — creating arguments over absolutely nothing.

The amount of arguments that one guy has caused in here has been outrageous.

Honestly, I've already said very clearly that I think he does it on purpose, 100%, while you and a few others keep falling for it.

It's blatantly obvious to quite a few of us that it's done purely to cause arguments and drama.
Sad, sad day- when you can't talk about football and perhaps wanting players from our home country without taking offence
Feck me

Anyway I can't be bothered now either
It's really pointless and a waste of time.

Folk really ruin things.

09 May 2026 01:10:28
Another great post, Stig!! Absolutely 100% correct. 👍👍👍 🇬🇧

09 May 2026 02:52:24
Stig, don't for one minute think my post to Aph was in any way against you, mate, as that couldn't be any further from the truth. Totally respect you as a poster, always have, pal. 💙

08 May 2026 23:27:13
I just seen Andy Halliday retiring at the end of the season wasn't his biggest fan as a player for us but one thing he did have was heart desire and fight and he is a born and bred Rangers fan wish him all the best in whatever he does next

08 May 2026 23:53:45
Like Andy, great pro and comes across well, and sure he'll do well in the pundit arena.

09 May 2026 02:13:30
Maybe he'll be our new head coach him and Arfy.

08 May 2026 23:01:46
Guys let's get one thing out of the way. If dr gets offered the Wolfsburg Job even in b2 he's off. Make no mistake aboit it man

He's been in Britain for 2 years and his family have been at home.

What would anyone of u do?

Only thing wouldve kept him would have been champions league football.

He'll go home make no mistake aboit it.

And so would all of us.

Personally I think there's legs in this one and I do think he's going to be off. I actually think it's already ageeed and players know about it, hence the story leaking and imo the drop off in the team.

08 May 2026 23:13:18
What would I do, Stevie?

Not sign a multi-year contractual commitment to a club in Glasgow,

Make no mistake, if Rohl leaves for this reason after less than a season, he's led us up the garden path. The result for us is more upheaval, chaos, and another desperate hunt for a gaffer.

If this is true - He's done us no favours whatsoever.

08 May 2026 23:27:23
So u wouldn't make changes if u thought it was best for your family, Marco? Fair enough. Pretty sure, if someone offered u a massive wage somewhere, ud consider it, then change your mind if u got a similar chance back home. Hearing plenty wanting him out, so where would the commitment to a long term deal be then? I'd be disappointed, but if done in the right way, can totally understand.

Just don't be one of those that claims to want to be near his family and end up going somewhere completely different.

08 May 2026 23:44:44
He's went where the work took him, mate.

Same as any job, get offered same job near home u take it??

Offshore in Africa or Aberdeen what u taking if money's same?

9-5 or 12 hour shifts?

Day shift or night shift?

Football fans don't relate to football managers n players, but they're same as us.

08 May 2026 23:49:06
I have very limited sympathy, he's in football and knows all that comes with football. He knew what he was signing up for. As I've said before, I have a senior non-playing family member in a top 6 SPL team, even in Sco, as said family man has challenges week in week out, that's the nature of sport and Rohl will have similar in Ger. If he's not up for that, get a different job. Nobody forces these folks to take these jobs or careers.

09 May 2026 04:57:03
Contracts are there to be broken - well at least bought out.

If he goes, we will get compensation based on the value of his multi year deal, which will enable us to find an even better coach. Personally, although I like the gaffer, I don't think it will be difficult to find an upgrade.

08 May 2026 22:17:48
Just read ben Davies back at Ibrox ol we can't move anyone out l

08 May 2026 22:33:21
Ooc at end of season, so he's going to be leaving.

08 May 2026 22:35:09
Only back until end of season, out of contract.

08 May 2026 22:38:13
Did we ever get any cash for Cifuentes?

08 May 2026 22:54:47
Think he is out on loan as well, Laudrup.

08 May 2026 23:21:02
Davies couldn't get a regular game for Oxford.

Thank goodness he is OOC.

He's dined out well on our wage over the last 4 years.

08 May 2026 23:22:58
Cifuentes, McCausland, Danilo, Nsiala, Munn, Nsio, Hutton and Gentles, I believe, will all return from loans end of May/June if options on 4 of them are not taken up.

King, Davies, K. Wright and Dowell will return, but will be out of contract, so will leave when it expires unless offered new deals.



Cortes to return in January if option not taken up.

A lot of work to be done. I think it will be our busiest summer in years in terms of player turnaround.

08 May 2026 23:28:53
Cortes is a starter for Huracan, so hopefully they buy him.

08 May 2026 23:51:25
Cifuentes Lol, couldn't pass a laxative, strange though, as he came from Seria A merica lol.

09 May 2026 02:59:59
Always said I thought something wasn't right when Liverpool signed him and had a lot of injuries to cbs, he didn't get as much as a sniff.

08 May 2026 20:13:30
After Celtics decision re Rangers fans at Parkhead on Sunday e. g. flag size, no megaphone, no drums etc
I hope the Rangers Board will follow their example and reciprocate the bans next season!

08 May 2026 21:41:55
100% the Celtic board have effectively ended ultras being able to attend away games!

And it should be communicated to Celtic fans after this match that what happens at the next game at Ibrox is a direct consequence of their own club's actions.

08 May 2026 21:56:29
I wouldn't let them in Ibrox.

08 May 2026 22:55:23
Zikos, I don't think they will be any away fans in next season.

08 May 2026 23:31:35
Blue Order anyone? 👀

09 May 2026 00:06:16
I hope we don't. I hope we both put up nets and police the games properly with the strongest security measures, and allow both sets of fans to participate as they see fit within the law.

It's not an Old Firm without the away fans, man.

2 clubs need to sit down in summer with authorities and make a plan for the good of the game and the product.

Football is for the fans and that's being forgotten here.

09 May 2026 01:25:36
Policed properly, no problems.

09 May 2026 01:26:33
Putting up nets isn't going to stop the vandalism to the stadium. Disgusting graffiti mocking the dead, toilet pans kicked to bits, water flooding the concourse, and neds forcing their way in through the barriers and later onto the pitch. The lollipop man up at the school is a steward at Ibrox, and he had to use his body to stop bottles and coins hitting children and women at the last game. Football is absolutely for the fans, but not ones who can't behave themselves. They don't deserve to get let back in our stadium.

09 May 2026 05:00:42
Storm, that's a pity for the fans that attend and, to be honest, the governing body should step in.

The games are always better with an away support.

08 May 2026 19:47:22
Can I just say happy 61st birthday to our cult hero gk Andy dibble

Once a ranger .

08 May 2026 22:29:08
Stevie, after Tom saying that earlier today, I wouldn't be surprised if ex players like Durrant or Brown haven't mentioned Billy Reid, mate, probably Ian McCall as well to Cavenagh. Would love one of them in as his assistant. McCall was at the Falkirk game.

08 May 2026 22:52:45
Beale. Tbf to AC, and it may be coincidence, decisions are being made that the fans are asking for. It seems from a distance the fans' opinions are being heard, imo anyway, what do u think?

Billy Reid would be a 10/10 appointment, mate. McCall not as much for me, but others whose opinions I value, like u, do think so.



Billy Reid, but would be error t dor Rangers Football Club right now.

If Danny Rohl moves and we go European again, I'd really hope Billy Reid is number 2, mate. Even Mccinnes and Gerrard or Muscat, even another, I'd really hope for Reid.

He's a European trophy winner who mouse singled out for praise afterwards.

08 May 2026 17:40:37
What's our thoughts on Rohl then. Stick or twist?

08 May 2026 17:46:24
I don't want to sack him but if he left to go to Wolfsburg I wouldn't be upset either.

08 May 2026 17:50:53
I'm of the same thought, Wishy.

08 May 2026 17:56:21
If we twist, recruitment won't be set back, but the way we play will be. If Danny does indeed leave for family reasons, then you can't blame him, but hope he is here next season.

08 May 2026 17:56:54
Yeah same here Wishy, not saying he couldn't do well with pre season behind him and a few players, but I think this team needs someone that they will run through walls for. We wait and see what unfolds.

08 May 2026 18:00:56
What way do we play, Davie? I am struggling to see our style under Rohl.

08 May 2026 18:11:29
Am 50/50 on Danny. ✌️ ✌️

08 May 2026 18:18:49
I would not sack him, but if he wants back to family, how do we force him to stay?

08 May 2026 18:33:17
I think that's what it boils down to, John. Missing his family is key. They are still over in Germany, aren't they?

08 May 2026 18:34:56
John, my question is why did he sign in the first place if family is supposedly now his main concern?

Could it be that, now things are not going wonderfully, he's now thinking maybe it's better if I just bail out and go back home and contemplate in the bosom of his family.



I honestly hope I'm totally wide of the mark because I like the guy.

08 May 2026 18:41:39
Unless he's telling lies, Rohl currently not wanting to leave Rangers, John. 🤔

08 May 2026 18:44:54
I'm not getting it. His family have always been over there, don't get why AC would get Rohl in on that contract if there was an increased risk of him moving for family reasons. I couldn't blame the guy for wanting to & being bk or closer to family, but I'd have to suggest that AC would have f***ed up again, as that would leave us right bk at square 1 & managerless at the worst time with such a recruitment drive & squad shuffle to get sorted in a short space of time, esp with the World Cup being on.

08 May 2026 18:47:32
He'll have a buy out clause of sorts and so will his team. We could command around £5m probably, that's a good deal for a man who many want to sack and who may well be gone by new year anyway.

08 May 2026 18:49:14
Jim, perhaps he was happy to try it before but now his feelings have changed re his family. Maybe he's finding it harder than he thought when he signed. Folk do change their minds. Anyway, seems like he's happy and it's not an issue anyway according to his presser.

08 May 2026 18:55:11
I thought he was pretty non committal at the presser today and gave stock answers, concentrating on Rangers, rumours in the past about job offers that were not true blah blah.

08 May 2026 18:58:35
Each to their own, troops, personally think it's ridiculous to even consider binning any manager after giving him three quarters of a season.

08 May 2026 18:58:40
Sir Walter, u told us Gerrard was going nowhere as he said he was happy,

U said Clement and Gio were not leaving.

Do u honestly believe Rohl would say I can't wait till season over so I can leave.

His set piece coach has also been offered a job in EPL.

08 May 2026 19:00:39
It's a strange one, he was never that happy at Wednesday. Mass.

08 May 2026 19:04:51
What else can he say, Sir Walter. He won't exactly come out with I am leaving. 😂

08 May 2026 19:18:05
Did he forget his family lived in Germany when he was interviewing for the role? Or when he signed a 4 year contract in Glasgow?

I'm sorry, I understand missing his family. I get that. However, why was he larping around as a British based football manager?

We all know the chaos that goes along with replacement of a head coach. Especially at Rangers given the sheer volume of managers we've gone through in the last few years.



So, to do this to us - if he does - would be highly unprofessional in my book.

I'd have more respect for him if he said "sorry everyone, this club is an absolute basket case, not what I thought it was going to be like, and I can't wait to get out".

Still unprofessional, but I'd respect the honesty.

08 May 2026 19:40:05
Good point, Marco. He is still a young man and we will know his choice soon enough. I think he wouldn't knock back a job in the Bundesliga.

08 May 2026 19:41:15
Know nothing about his family situation, but it's hardly that unimaginable to think someone tried working away from them and found it harder than expected and changes their mind, or their family find it harder and puts a strain on their relationship.

He's not been unprofessional in anything he's done either. He's seeing the season out, and then we'll see, but I'm sure it will be done properly if he does go.

08 May 2026 20:02:48
Lmao at Wishy and Carluke. You two neighbours?

08 May 2026 20:20:49
Carluke, as much as I agree with you regarding the style of play, players will now know Danny's set up. New manager comes in and it's back to square 1.

08 May 2026 20:28:10
Whatsnyname Wishae is a different country. 😉😂

08 May 2026 20:46:06
Yately, am 60/40 on him at moment am really unsure but I think we can't keep sacking managers and expect success.

To the people that want SG back, does he get more than one season to win a trophy? What if he comes in and wins nothing, say next season, do we keep him?

08 May 2026 21:41:44
Why is the alternative to completely confirm an exit? I've heard plenty of managers and players say "we will see", or "my focus is on this season", or "you don't know what the future holds".

Can't think of many managers saying "I will 100% be here next season and I'm in the right place with the right people" then leaving. Gerrard did say he was happy. Hence why Ryan Porteous mocked him in that cup game after he left with the infamous "do I look happy".

Clement and GVB were sacked as the fans shouted for their heads and booed after matches. I seem to remember walk outs during our new owners visits and the good ol' black background with the red cross over faces. I also remember Clement being vocally backed by the board, but they then had to change that due to results and pressure from the fans.

Folk get opinions wrong.

It's ok. It's not that deep. SWS and many others are allowed to think Rohl won't leave the same way others are allowed to believe he will. Healthy debate is fine, but going after folk for their previous calls when nobody in here has a 100% success rate is a bit less cool in my eyes.

How many in here thought Skov would win us the league? How many expected Miovski to score an abundance of goals? Who expected Fernandez to become what he has? My guess is we all got stuff wrong. Same as the numerous rumours and names thrown around that go nowhere and disappear. Everyone gets it wrong, doesn't mean they should just agree because they've got things wrong before.

Anyway, that's my wee rant, lads. Let get this site back to healthy debate based on logic and perception, not past deeds of posters or name calling (none in this thread).

08 May 2026 21:44:48
Has his head been turned with the possibility of going to a Bundesliga team, which in turn means closer to his family? Couldn't blame him if he went. I think he signed a 2 and a half year contract, so we would get some compensation.



But I'm hoping his commitment to Rangers hasn't changed, and he'll give his all to the team for at least the next 3 games, which I'm sure he will, as he seems a stand up guy.

08 May 2026 21:45:23
I wouldn't be fussed tbh. Although he has improved results since he came in, it was an extremely low bar. And has failed when it matters most on several occasions now.

I was hoping that he would learn from those mistakes and implement a better, more effective style of play next year, but if he goes, I wouldn't be upset, I'd be on the phone right now to JBA in the event he does go.

08 May 2026 22:20:20
If Danny goes to another club I'd expect a transfer fee.
If he just decides to leave, I'd have it written in any contract termination agreement that we are entitled to compensation if he moves to another club within the timeframe of his contract with us that is terminated.


To be honest, I'm happy enough to continue with Danny, but wouldn't lose any sleep if we have to go down another route next season.

08 May 2026 22:59:31
Mvg, I wouldn't say it's unprofessional as things could have changed with family in the last week, month, or 6 months. Football is not everything, and things change in an instance sometimes, especially with family. So it's 100% wrong to call him unprofessional when we don't even know if he will be away or if it's reasons for family if he does go etc.

08 May 2026 23:44:16
I don't think he will be sacked, so, if he goes, I hope we get compensation for him, but it's back to rinse and repeat with manager names.
