Rangers banter 9

Swap Thelwell for Davie Weir and we are on the right road again.

20 Oct 2025 21:45:52
Bluey that's what I don't understand, we could easily get rid of Thelwell and co. Weir and Gerrard are free🤦‍♂️.

20 Oct 2025 22:10:55
Gerrard was in the building, well the training ground, everything bar a few things agreed. Thelwell was the reason it didn't happen.

21 Oct 2025 00:02:36
Weir spent an absolute fortune during his time at Brentford, I thought we were away from the days of trying to buy success.

21 Oct 2025 05:34:42
Molly Weir would have done a better job than that Clown.

21 Oct 2025 07:40:13
It's a no brainer Bluey.
Not only would it appease the fan base, but they would be replacing someone with a questionable track record in Thelwell with a guy who's not only held in high regards as Rangers fans, but with a team who have performed as well as any down South.

20 Oct 2025 21:02:47
Good luck Danny boy.
We now have a German captain of the ship🚢 Rohl Britania.

20 Oct 2025 23:21:47
Sharp as a tack as always cheers 😂👍.

BB4 let's get one thing straight.

I am not saying that Gerrard and Muscat were crowd pleasing options because I didn't want them.

I am saying that because it's true.
These guys do not fit with the model and long term strategy.

By crowd pleasing option I am describing someone who the board felt could unite the supporters whilst also providing short to medium term stability.

This is an approach that was pushed vigorously by both Scottish members of the board and an approach that Marathe sided with.

In my post I said that Cavanagh 1st choice was always Rohl.
That to the best of my knowledge is true.

20 Oct 2025 21:56:39
Dont see how he unites the support.

20 Oct 2025 22:14:25
I'm genuinely excited by Röhl and what he can bring to our club. Not heard a bad word about his coaching and man management style. He's also big into crowd energy and I believe, with a good start and some points on the board, the fans who have doubts will buy into him.

20 Oct 2025 22:40:45
Azul, H e's talking about Gerrard or Muscat.

20 Oct 2025 23:51:45
Asa it's not true it's your opinion. So let me get this right, a part of our ownership team were prepared to go get a manager in Gerrard/ muscat that
1. The fans wanted.
2. Doesn't fit with strategy.
3. For a quick fix.

Geezo, God knows what's going on behind the scene's.

20 Oct 2025 20:04:29
Good evening fellow bears. Haven't been on for a while. I like everyone else am delighted to see Russell Martin gone. just a small thin nagging me though do you think that the new manager will get a tune out of the players? Is our bad form only down to the manager? I stated before I think we do have good players so I wait in hope.

all the top successful managers have had a great squad have they not? Any good luck Danny and all here is hoping! C'mon the bears.

20 Oct 2025 20:40:12
No it's not and Saturday proved it our defence is a complete and utter mess and still needs rebuilt and our strikers need to get finger out.

20 Oct 2025 20:51:25
Let's just put this sorry episode behind us and get right behind our new manager and team, i certainly will. Good luck Danny Rohl 🙏.

20 Oct 2025 21:10:35
Brian I think Danny Rohl will be the most instant in the change of the team as he reacts weekly to each team in some aspects and will fit round our strength as far as I can read. Others have a philosophy the players have to mould to. This wasn't my 1st choice but I can see why they've done it.

20 Oct 2025 21:37:14
Well said Boy blue.

20 Oct 2025 21:39:37
It's clear to me that the players have not been trained properly and they lack fitness and stamina. That is down to the imposter and how he wanted his team to play. Make no mistake, we have decent players, including the defence, but it will take time to get them fully fit.

20 Oct 2025 21:47:24
Our strikers need service first and foremost.

20 Oct 2025 21:51:40
The defence is a shambles for sure Strom. It could go either one of two ways next summer. As it stands our back 4 is made up of OOC players and loanees. If Thelwell is still in charge of recruitment next summer we've got no chance.

If he's gone before then and we can get someone good in then it could be a game changer for us next season.

20 Oct 2025 22:06:17
So if he gets pumped on Thursday give him a break it's not his fault he's a coach not a manger. He's only working with the players Thelwell says he can. It will never be his fault it wil be Thelwell a as he don't pick the players.

20 Oct 2025 20:04:18
Ehl and Asa can I ask what excites you both on Rohl?. i'm impressed by yhe fact he's coached the German national team and a champions league winning team but as a coach there's little to look at.

20 Oct 2025 20:38:35
One Walter I am excited as we have managed to hire one of the most exciting young talents in German coaching.

He has many admirers and talking to people I know from top clubs in Germany he is one of the highest rated coaches around.

20 Oct 2025 21:05:46
OWS, I'm very much in favour of coaches who are willing to work with the players they have, invest in their development and who are willing to prioritise winning games over philosophies.

These are things that a lot of clubs have moved away from, however something that seems to be going through a mini renaissance at the moment.

Martin in my eyes represented everything that is wrong with football (probably sounds harsher than I intend) - Rohl on the other hand represents everything I want to see at Rangers.

Add to that his reputation within the game and I am genuinely very very happy.

20 Oct 2025 21:15:53
OWS I would suggest that like most things made in Germany that he will be solid, reliable and a consistent performer, he has worked under a great manager at one of Europe's finest institutions and will stamp his own identity on us. I'm for one am excited for the times ahead a good young hungry coach, let's go!

20 Oct 2025 21:42:58
Asa, I remember similar things being said about Paul le Guen. I am far happier with this appointment than I would have been with Muscat and ecstatic in comparison to when the imposter was appointed.

20 Oct 2025 22:17:28
EHL u described it exactly how I feel mate. Particularly about Martin is what I've said for a couple of years even before he came. I'm excited to see what Rohl can do if the players are willing to buy into it.

20 Oct 2025 22:32:07
Just hope Rohlis as good as some think as we can't afford to get this wrong.
Not exactly a big list of potential clubs looking to appoint him.
But it is what it is, so let's hope he is fully supported by owners to enable him to have best chance of success.

20 Oct 2025 22:34:58
Are you returning to Ibrox EHL to take up a new role now Russ is gone?! :-)

20 Oct 2025 22:55:29
Totally agree EHL…. think he has that ruthless streak in him that will be the reason for improvement and who knows perhaps silverware.

20 Oct 2025 19:51:03
Welcome to the Famous Glasgow Rangers, Danny Rohl The World's biggest and best Football family If you put a Winning Rangers team back on the park and win us trophies you will have made a lot of angry Rangers fan's all over the world Very Very Happy indeed and you have me my wife and 3 children's 100 % Backing Let's hope We go on and get a rohl of victories starting Thursday Watp 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧👍.

20 Oct 2025 20:44:04
And if you don't you'll be boo'd off the park and hounded out the club within weeks. Just kidding.
