Alex Neil, Norwich city manager is now favourite for the Rangers job!



28 Feb 2017 17:37:11
Interesting. given he is a coatbridge man who certainly favours the green half of Glasgow. We certainly ain't rushing an appointment which is a good thing as we MUST get the right man in. Its obviously not mccleish (thankfully) or Davies as they wuda been in by now. I just pray we r holding off for FDB. Doubt it tho.



28 Feb 2017 18:31:30
Would like it to be FDB but I think it depends on what role the director of football will have who ever the head coach is I hope Miller is rewarded with an extended contact as a player coach



28 Feb 2017 20:11:11
Would love it to be de boer but can't see it will probably lend up with somebody we've never heard off



28 Feb 2017 20:12:59
Did it again you know who I mean



28 Feb 2017 20:15:07
Once again we have a nother person in frame we are getting posted with all the mangers know I wonder who is next I Dout it will be Alex Neil but my gut felling is we want have anybody till the summer dk want spend money on mangers that are in a job we don't have money for any good players I don't know what you all think hope we get it sorted soon all this talk about investment I love to know we're that is comming from to because something would have been said by now by someone



28 Feb 2017 20:32:11
i for one will not be renewing my season ticket nxt year if alex neil becomes our manager



28 Feb 2017 20:53:06
It won't be Alex Neil but why would you not renew if he got the job?



28 Feb 2017 20:58:59
I heard today that the real reason de boer won't take a job mid season is to do with his pay off from inter in that if he takes a job before the summer he forefits a large portion of it. No idea if that's true.



28 Feb 2017 21:23:19
Because he is a celtic Fan. I wonder if these fans who react like this went mental when Neil McCann (celtic fan) scored the 2 goals when we won the league at the piggery. My guess would be yes. Its fans with views like the one above that hold our club back and keep it in the dark ages.



28 Feb 2017 21:39:44
how do my views hold the club back in my honest opionion our club has lost its identity lately and the problems from top to bottom show that I've bn home and away all season so my hard earned cash hasn't held the club back and also for the record i don't rate alex neil as a manager either



28 Feb 2017 21:48:26
Alex Neil sorry I don't buy that - his allegiances are well known and add that to the way he spoke about our great club with utter disdain following the Dorrans rumours last summer, it's very clear what he thinks of us.

You don't need to be a bluenose to be our manager, but I draw the line at the likes of Alex Neil



28 Feb 2017 22:19:42
I totally agree with you bigcol1872! But do you think alex neil is good enough to become the manager of glasgow rangers? I'm obviously talking about his ability and not his religion or the team he supported while growing up, that should have nothing to do with it!

Although neil wouldn't be my own choice i still think he's a decent manager/ coach! My own choice that i'd love to be our next manager/ head coach is garry monk, although i don't think he'll leave leeds utd! Monk is a terrific coach!



28 Feb 2017 22:07:59
Colshy your comment, like a hell of a lot of other fans views on Neil, would suggest that it's not his managerial ability that's in question but rather his allegiance to certain rival club. If I've jumped to this conclusion then I apologise. What difference does it make what team the new manager supported as a boy? For some reason we are the only club in Europe who still harbours this disdain for prospective employees that have supported celtic. well maybe not all of us. Whether he is good enough that's another argument. My view he is.



28 Feb 2017 22:37:55
Before Warburton took over I thought we missed the boat not getting him in then. I still think he is a very good coach but he seems to have stalled a wee bit just now. I think everyone's choice would be FDB but let's get realistic, that's not happening. So we are left with names like McInnes, Mcleish, Wright and Davies. My choice would be Monk, but could we afford him? If we don't get a decent manager then the club are almost accepting being in celtic shadow for years to come.



01 Mar 2017 04:03:10
In all realism we are years behind Celtic as much as it pains me to say it. We simply don't have the money to compete with them. Rangers in my opinion will not hire a manager until the end of the season to save money. We need a Rangers man in there someone who knows the club inside out. I'd like to see Barry Ferguson in there in some capacity with the intent of the reigns getting handed over after spending time with an experienced manager.



01 Mar 2017 17:00:28
why would he leave Norwich
took them to the prem, relegated, kept him, like him.
why would he leave to manage the rangers?



01 Mar 2017 19:14:37
Doesn't look like he's in the final running anyway.



28 Feb 2017 02:07:19
Ross Wilson from Southampton is not joining Rangers. Will be announced on Wednesday that he is not coming. There is no manager coming in before the end of the season. Murty will take the team till then. Changes will be made in the summer but not till June.



28 Feb 2017 06:59:23
Seems to go against what's been said in the press recently. Obviously we don't know who they will be (dof and manager) but I do believe we will appoint both soon.



28 Feb 2017 08:14:20
How can the board announce wilson not comming, when they haven't said a thing officialy or un officialy about him. if true they would appoint a dof, and say they were number 1 target. they aren't going to say, sorry tried to get wilson he said no, so heres our 2nd target?



28 Feb 2017 08:58:52
it may not be Wilson but i'm sure they will announce a new director of football this week.



28 Feb 2017 12:29:53
Rangers have not even approached Wilson. First they would need permission to speak to him and his boss has stated that nobody has asked for that permission.



28 Feb 2017 13:29:04
It will be announced that he is NOT coming. that doesn't make a whole lot of sense mate?



28 Feb 2017 13:59:28
Johnnymac, are you a glasgow rangers board member under the disguised name of johnnymac? Only the rangers directors know what's going on as to regards of who and when they're going to appoint a DOF and a manager/ head coach! Nobody knows a thing mate! Even the media and rangers men within the media, haven't got a clue what's happening, so with all due respect mate, you don't know what's happening either! I stand to be corrected tomorrow if your scoops are correct! But i can assure you i'm not holding my breath on it!



28 Feb 2017 14:03:12
Why would we make an announcement about someone not coming. Wisen up



28 Feb 2017 14:41:55
Why do people think Rangers will make money if they get into Europe? Other Scottish teams have done 3 qualifying rounds in the Europa league and took a hit on the process after transport and accommodation costs. Even in the group stages the money available is not that much. Only the champions league would bring in decent revenue.



28 Feb 2017 14:47:47
I for one don't like the idea of a director of football.
i think it would take away any chances of us ever getting top quality in to manage the team.



28 Feb 2017 15:11:26
He's just made it all up that's why



28 Feb 2017 16:41:51
All I am telling you is that he is remaining at Southampton.



28 Feb 2017 17:09:38
Is anyone expecting a statement confirming that Ranieri is not going to be the new rangers manager?

Rumours - a currently circulating story or report of uncertain or doubtful truth.

That does not mean "a complete load of made up tosh"



28 Feb 2017 19:02:33
'Is anyone expecting a statement confirming that Ranieri is not going to be the new rangers manager? '



28 Feb 2017 21:48:19
Supercooper let me assure you that no manager is arriving at ibrox this season. It does not matter what is being said in the papers Murty is in charge till june. Wait and see.



01 Mar 2017 09:52:35
Anyone who thinks we do not need a director of football are underestimating the size of the rebuilding job at the club

Currently we have no manager, no assistant manager, no scouting team and a relatively poor first team set of players.

To bring a manager in now and expect him to solve all the problems with the first team, set up a scouting network and get a new coaching team in place before next season all on his own is delusion. If we left this till the summer it would be near on impossible.

We need a fresh start, a director of football can be the focal point to put the club in a direction where changing the manager won't be a total rebuild every few years.

It works well on the continent and for clubs like Southampton, Spurs, West Brom and Man City (albeit City have endless funds) .

I like the sounds of Ross Wilson as DOF but he will only come if he has cash to spend on players and to change the scouting and coaching setup. He would show real ambition and I would be confident in whatever manager he chose.

However, one thing is for sure, the calibre of candidate we appoint will reflect the financial position we are currently in.



01 Mar 2017 17:54:08
Johnnymac, I tend to agree with you where appointing our new manager is concerned! If the permanent manager we're after is currently in a job, then of course its more than likely, we'll have to wait for him, until the end of the season! For example like a garry monk etc! But if that is the case and the guy the board want, can't or won't come just now, then i really do think an alex mcleish, billy davies etc, will be looked at on an interim basis, for the rest of this season mate! I honestly don't know if ross wilson will become our DOF, but then again only the directors will know this for defo! My own 1st choice for the DOF role, is paul mitchell anyway, who's currently serving his notice with spurs!



28 Feb 2017 01:44:17
Any choice of manager and/ or dof will be dictated by cash. Dk can give "whatever" but he is not in a position to put our club on the straight and narrow. What is the betting there will be no appointments in the next couple of months?



28 Feb 2017 06:30:05
We'd also need to pay two salaries for a director of football and a coach so gives you an idea of the calibre we're probably looking at



28 Feb 2017 09:13:18
What are you willing to wager billy? I reckon we'll have at least one appointment announced by this time next week



28 Feb 2017 21:50:28
BR 65 i will wager what ever amount you want. There will be no appointment by this time next week. How much do you want to lay out?
