Rangers rumours 2

19 Apr 2025 14:35:36
Daily mirror reporting the 49rs are looking at mourinho. But I suppose some of you on here wouldn't want him being a defensive style coach!

19 Apr 2025 14:44:36
Wouldn't want him due to how much money we'd have to pay him. Guy's a winner but that comes with a price and we can't afford to pay that.

19 Apr 2025 14:45:06
They quoted what McCoist said on Talksport mate.

19 Apr 2025 14:56:49
Jason, i know it doesn't mean anything but jose mourinho has went into 4/ 1 second favourite with bet365 today with gerrard odds on 🤔
Florida i've also just been told an hour ago by a guy i'd call a reliable source, that steven gerrard is coming back as Rangers manager and has already been sounded out by our new sporting director and our prospective new owners 🤔 Again guys only passing on info 👍.

19 Apr 2025 15:05:34
More chance of Joe Barton getting the managers job of the England Woman's Team.

19 Apr 2025 15:13:56
He's a winner so I'd take him no bother. History won't remember the football it will be the cups and titles won we remember.

19 Apr 2025 15:16:20
John eustance could be a free after relegation.

19 Apr 2025 15:24:03
Correct Jason, I've said that many times, plus the fact it's more media nonsense, we ain't paying any management 200k weekly.

19 Apr 2025 15:32:28
There's a lot of people posting here that the takeover is in trouble. These things can't be true at the same time. I'm confident the takeover is happening.

19 Apr 2025 15:54:38
Coldo you really can't stop being an arse can you my wee mad stalker.

19 Apr 2025 16:07:00
Jose would do for me don't care if defensive or not as long as he wins us league - also point about his wage - the manager is crucial for any winning team - arguably the most important signing we will make this summer - we need to pay the going rate for a winner 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.

19 Apr 2025 16:24:39
I think quite frankly we need a more defence minded coach if we're stuck with this defence next season lol.

19 Apr 2025 16:36:28
I think it's safe to say that Mourinho will not be our manager.

19 Apr 2025 16:40:46
I really think we need to go back to basics and do the simple things well RE defensive style coach.

19 Apr 2025 17:20:47
Actually it isn't his football which would be an issue. the man is a scare and spends all his time fighting with everyone there is. I want my manager to have a bit more style and decorum about them. think the Americans might want the same. there are more managers out there who can be as successful here.

19 Apr 2025 17:44:59
If yiur the 49s and are looking for a manager surely logic is they'd at least sound out the last guy who won the title? I may disagree with the choice but do think SG will be at least be spoken too by the new owners.

19 Apr 2025 18:33:06
In regards of Jose, his wage would be ridiculous and on top of that the Turks would want compo. Rather see that kind of money spent on players.

19 Apr 2025 21:08:43
I I think the Turks would let him
Leave
He's causing quite the drama over there in a regular basis.

19 apr 2025 21:43:33
he knows how highly strung they can get, stevie.

and he's playing them like a violin.

brilliant.

19 Apr 2025 23:08:39
Tom it's exactly what he's doing mate.

He's after a pay off 😂😂😂.

20 Apr 2025 08:55:54
Jose is a done manager now we need better.

19 Apr 2025 10:40:00
Hearing from a very good source that Gerrard is coming back 🫡.

19 Apr 2025 11:29:58
Hope whoever told you is taking the proverbial 🤦🏻‍♂️.

19 Apr 2025 11:35:51
Gerard has already said in a podcast that he ain't coming back.

19 Apr 2025 12:33:01
Jason also said he was very happy at Rangers and wasn't going anywhere weeks before he done a runner.

19 Apr 2025 12:49:39
Jason, He also said he wasn't leaving Rangers mate! I haven't heard or want this to happen!

19 Apr 2025 13:20:01
SG ain't coming back.

19 Apr 2025 13:54:56
I hope not, we need better than him . I would hope we were more ambitious.

19 Apr 2025 14:08:43
He might be but certainly hasn't been confirmed to anyone at the club from what I've heard.

19 Apr 2025 14:21:27
Storm, how do you know SteveG isn't coming back and deal could potentially be done?

19 Apr 2025 14:29:47
Point taken. Would be happy to have Gerrard back tbh.

19 Apr 2025 14:52:09
1 trophy from 9 first time round, failed in his two jobs since, contributed massively to the financial issues we had by overspending on players wages and left us when it suited him to in the middle of a season.

He was hardly successful in his first stint, other than "stopping the 10" in a season in front of no fans where Celtic imploded.

I'm not interested in having him back and after the last few seasons that might even be the final straw for me! For many fans this sort of appointment would instantly wipe out any goodwill coming from the takeover and put the new owners on a "no better than the last lot" footing.

They'd be very, very silly to even entertain such an appointment IMO. I'd go as far as to say Ferguson, who should be nowhere near the job next season, would be a better choice than Gerrard for the new owners.

Outside of a small minority of our fans who often can't see the wood for the trees, Gerrard would be a disastrous outcome of this takeover.

19 Apr 2025 17:04:12
Agree gdog.

19 Apr 2025 17:48:50
Yately it's my opinion is that not what this site is about and nothing will be done and people keep saying utter bs about managers. Takeover ain't complete and DOF or sporting director whatever you call him ain't in place yet.



I'll say this if S. G. comes back I will never be behind him because of the way the rat left and he will always be a rat to me.

19 Apr 2025 17:49:35
100% correct gdog don't understand how any Rangers fan would have him back it's utter madness.

19 Apr 2025 18:05:23
I really think SG coming back to Rangers is a massive con by the bookies - how many mugs are going to waste money backing this?

19 Apr 2025 18:06:00
First time around SG inherited a bag of rubbish.
By the time he sorted it out and won the league undefeated the board thought we were in easy street and wouldn't back him the following year so he said **** you i'm off and we know what happened after that.

19 Apr 2025 18:47:29
I agree, SG had his chance, if he left for Liverpool I could have understood but villa, we need a fresh approach, you should never go back, I remember getting with an old flame, stunning she was back in the day, a young Linda carter lookalike but after a recent night on the sauce and quite a bit of sauce I hasten to add I woke up next to Fatima whittbread, with more facial hair than Brian blessed. NEVER GO BACK!

19 Apr 2025 20:27:16
Good post Gdog.

19 Apr 2025 21:09:00
I have said from day 1 of takeover in press GERRARD WILL BE BACK.

19 Apr 2025 21:10:22
I came into post I've heard Gerrard back with Barry as his assistant that's certainly the word picking up some pace.

19 apr 2025 21:46:07
pro football is a cesspit, not a church gathering.

people come n go, say this n that.

and nobody should ever take words literally nor believe everything.

lying is what keeps it interesting, and chairmen and managers are the top of the league at that.

20 Apr 2025 00:14:03
If this takeover happens and SG comes back, it would be a bad start for a new regime. The club needs to move forward and look to the future…SG returning would be holding on to the past. Yes he got 55 but the guy jumped ship to the EPL as quick as he could and his overall trophy record is pretty poor.

On the takeover there are so many conflicting rumours and stories understandably every fan is nervous. There needs to be some clarity on what is going hopefully that happens soon.

20 Apr 2025 07:25:37
RFC, there quite possibly will be news on something this wednesday the 23rd april mate, as remember our CEO patrick stewart is holding an open Q &A with supporters/ shareholders 🤔 I would like to think we'll know much more about this prospective takeover after Wednesday, fingers crossed 🤞🇬🇧.

20 Apr 2025 11:37:02
INTR I admire your steadfast belief bud👍.

20 Apr 2025 12:00:57
Walter, May well be in for a shock,

20 Apr 2025 14:43:53
What's your thoughts on the takeover John?

20 Apr 2025 17:19:02
But John we keep hearing on here not to worry and this takeover is done mate 🤔 So why would you now say we might be in for a shock 🤔 only asking mate 🤔.

19 Apr 2025 09:40:12
Was with a pal last night who has a good number of shares within our club and he was explaining to me the situation with the takeover or potential takeover now. His words POTENTIAL.

Park is believed to be re-negotiating his position with the shares. Willing to sell half of them and keep half as the value of the club and shares will potentially double in the next 10-15 years. If that is the case it makes business sense for him to hold half of current holding. Personally pretty selfish on his part as it could potentially block a takeover as the 49ers will not do business with any holding less that 51%.

There are still lots of others holding shares however the price 49ers will need to pay shall depend on the people who hold the shares accepting the price on offer from the 49ers or negotiating with them. Some will clearly get more than others as these deals will be conducted privately.

I still think they will get the 51% but maybe will take a little longer now as they need to source from other individual shareholders.
My pal has agreed to sell his shares, not a massive amount but still 750k. He has made around 225k as he purchased his block for 525k.

I think it will be resolved before Christmas from what was explained to me. My pal thinks Barry will still be in the dug-out until this is resolved, be it Christmas and rolling into next summer OR when the share purchase can be complete. Whichever is sooner.

19 Apr 2025 09:48:44
By any chance is your pal a Celtic supporter?

19 Apr 2025 09:52:36
Interesting, as it's pretty much the opposite of the what I've heard.

Would be really disappointed to see BF in charge come next season.

19 Apr 2025 09:58:50
There is no way my pal is one of them. He bleeds blue blood. Proper hard-core. Just need to see. My guess most of what he told me is true or along the lines of what he has been informed. It could happen next week. Never know, deals need to be done, simple as that.

He knows Ally well also and said there is no way he is selling. He actually said Coisty would only consider it at a Fiver a share. I have no idea what Ally owns share wise. I never asked.

19 Apr 2025 09:59:09
Oh no now I am really scared and worried now; well actually;y as you hopefully can tell I am not. just one question: if these were all concluded privately as you say, how does your mate know all about other shareholders? if 49ers are blabbing their business to everyone then I am not sure they are fit to run any business of any size.

also once they have agreement for 30% they are legally required to offer to buy the shares of all other shareholders at a price equal to or greater than the highest price shares have sold in the last 12 months.
you might be right but too many gaps for my liking.

19 Apr 2025 10:00:53
I think Barry has done okay with that squad. Let's face it he has been dealt a really poor hand in terms of the squad. Paul Daniels would be lucky to magic a few wins out of them. I think if Barry was given decent funds he could do well.

19 Apr 2025 10:08:01
I think that Bilbao 2nd leg was the nail in Barry's coffin, EHL. I can't see him being in charge past the summer. I wanted him to do well so badly but he's not ready for it tactically, albeit has the mentality but you need both to be a successful manager.

19 Apr 2025 10:12:05
Why is it at least one new poster each day comes on to tell us the takeover is in doubt?

I stand by my posts from the last 2 weeks.
I only post with good intentions and have done for a few years.

I don't expect everyone to trust me, but this sort of post is in direct contradiction to any information coming out of the negotiations.

19 Apr 2025 10:13:44
I will discuss this further in the morning.

Friends have faith we are on the right track now.

19 Apr 2025 10:16:54
If it's not resolved by Christmas i will eat my socks. If Ferguson is still our manager at Christmas, i will get the Celtic badge tattooed on my forehead.

19 Apr 2025 10:26:53
I wish the takeover situation was never leaked. Everyday praying for good news since it first broke. Anyone else constantly refreshing the page? It's like deadline day everyday ever since. MRGA.

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.

19 Apr 2025 10:39:22
I actually can't believe people take time out of their day to come on to another fans group page and make up nonsense to try to get a bite.

It's frankly weird and not something that would even cross my mind.
This is very clearly absolute pish and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to spot these fake things a mile away.

Get a life bud, genuinely this kind of obsession is not healthy.

19 Apr 2025 10:57:26
Ah, another new Rangers "supporter" with a "friend" who has "inside knowledge", and who uses an uber staunch username. Hmmmm?! Why even bother?! 🤣🤣.

19 Apr 2025 11:14:55
Asathor only one word mate, PANIC.

19 Apr 2025 11:27:18
This is utter single fish, A Timmy with too much time on their hands. When they get asked they always come with die hard or bleeds blue pish.

19 Apr 2025 11:34:20
I said it in another post regarding takeover, if things go and because shareholders are holding out for personal selfishness the fans would go crazy at them imagine park rocking up to Ibrox being the a part of the reason the takeover didn't happen, he'd need personal security.

19 Apr 2025 12:07:55
Some of the posts about the takeover in the last week or two should really end with 'hail, hail' shouldn't they?
If they weren't bothered they wouldn't be on here talking bs.

It seems to be looking positive folks. Can't wait for the club to be run properly by sports professionals and have the funding to build for the future.

19 Apr 2025 12:47:14
It was always end of April start of May, nothing I have heard to contradictcs this and usual negotiations for a takeover.
Try for the highest price but deal eventually or lose out.
It will be done soon.

19 Apr 2025 12:57:04
The thing for me and I could be alone on this is that I don't think I'd be overly concerned with making people believe me unless I had some desperation to be believed.

If I knew my info was solid and it was disputed I don't think I'd care enough to argue it's validity. The second I see folk so desperate to be believed, I always kind of take it as rubbish. Being from a Rangers supporting family and following the club all my life I feel the words die hard, bleeds blue etc are barely mentioned by true fans as we don't need to prove ourselves.

So in short. I smell a Timmy in disguise.

19 Apr 2025 13:22:30
100% correct Ayrshire not that I get much info. But been too much depression in some new posters posts.

19 Apr 2025 13:25:43
Is he in disguise, Ayrshire? I would say he sticks out like a sore thumb!

This compulsion they have to spout all things Rangers is actually a sickness. If I ever allowed a football team I do not support to engulf my whole life, then It's time for me to peter out. Life is far too short to eat, sleep, and breathe all things to do with a club you hate.

Away and enjoy your own club, and life, and stop being a fud!

19 Apr 2025 13:31:24
More smelly from the dark side bored of their team winning so come on here to try and wind up us all which doesn't work. I've counted 5 of them now in the last two weeks . Go and support your team and enjoy it while it lasts cause we all know that use a keeking it cause u know what is coming next, this takeover will be done soon and Rodgers will be offski cause he can't handle a Rangers team on the up with proper investment.

19 Apr 2025 13:44:32
SS, very well put.
Tiresome reading all these "in the know posts". These seemed to start mid January.

19 Apr 2025 14:11:04
I don't know if it's a genuine post or not. I would never intentionally bring someone integrity into question. Saying that I Thank you for sharing the rumour but I will take it as that. I will continue to appreciate the guys who I feel are in the know. @asathor, @ehl, @john, @fork (even just for hus banter 😄) and Florida bear. But I hope the Gerrard is wrong. 😉.

19 Apr 2025 14:46:44
The amount of new fans we have due to a takeover haha.

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 14:57:06
I am a shareholder in the club and frankly what a lot of nonsense.

The takeover is in the legal part and therefore the details of what shares are being purchased and from whom is already in place.

Some people do not understand business.

19 Apr 2025 17:30:06
Calamero Fork.

19 Apr 2025 19:14:21
An injustice it is an injustice Cheers 👍😉🤣🤣.

19 Apr 2025 19:23:50
You can see the hahaha what's a pure staunch name i can use on da Rangers rumours page to trick them hehehe i'm so clever they will never know i'm a Celtic fan hehehehe da take over is in doubts da easdales and aw that hehehehe. I've definitely got them fooled they will believes me no problems hehehe i'm not scared of tha take over at all.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 13:36:50
Always look forward to your posts, stig 👍.

18 Apr 2025 16:13:55
I've only ever posted 3 times. I am 62, and been a season ticket holder in the sandy Jardine front in the same seat for over 40 years. I am not having a go at Dougie park, etc who came in and saved the club. My point is, they no longer have the funds to take the club forward, so must move aside. As far as my info goes, I currently work for sandy easdale, but my info does not come from him. The easdales were hung out to dry by Mike Ashley, etc. They will do their best for Rangers going forward given the chance.

18 Apr 2025 16:32:18
Give it up mate good grief.

18 Apr 2025 16:32:49
Cheers BB43 all info is good info👍.

18 Apr 2025 16:37:18
You make me laugh 😂.

18 apr 2025 16:45:14
i believe you are correct my man.

18 Apr 2025 17:41:15
Correct BB43.

18 Apr 2025 18:25:38
I believe that they always had the best intentions for the club and they just happened to be like 2 little penguins well out their depth in a shark tank with Ashley being a great white. They knew zilch about running a football club and Ashley took full advantage of that screwing us for millions. As for the hatred for them then i think that stems from their background as they are not exactly upstanding pillars of the community. A pair of shady B@st@rd$ would be a better description.

18 Apr 2025 18:39:12
White horse how's it going mate regarding the info you posted the other day mate about the high profile people from the 49ers staying at loch lomond and that the terms of the handover would be complete today do you know if that came to fruition.

18 Apr 2025 18:46:40
OMG I am 62 and sit in the front of the Sandy Jardine stand as well. I have just realised that I might be you Bear. just to check do you have grey hair and the same vacant look I have 😜. Old age means I might be posting as you as well as me 😂😂.

18 Apr 2025 19:02:50
Nah your Star or Hyperbangus, he's Angus👍😉🤣.

18 Apr 2025 19:21:06
You are not having a go at Douglas Park but your original post said " they had run the club into the ground" while defending the two guys who were complicit in actually running the club into the ground. I think we have now found out the key part of your posts " I work for Sandy Easdale ", what as, his Press Agent.

18 Apr 2025 22:08:09
Thanks Fork/ spork I got confused for a while there 😉.

18 Apr 2025 22:52:17
Listen mate I jumped on you yesterday that's apparently what I do. Keep posting.

18 Apr 2025 23:07:34
BB43 and hyperbang are both of you bald wear specs and a tad plump and good looking? As there seems to be plenty of supporters of that make up in the Govan. I wouldn't be allowed into the Govan as i'm not plump enough and good looking enough to be accepted although i'm bald and specy and built like a racing snake and on the uglier side of the spectrum which enables me access to the Main stand.

18 apr 2025 23:26:36
many people work fir sandy easdale, in fact he supplies employment ti the entire inverclyde area

you seem to ha ve a lot to say about people you don't know wsl, I've always liked yiu as a poster but your letting yourself down here, you don't know these guys

they tried to help, it didn't work

they are still Rangers fans, and were a long long wayfrom being " complicit in running the club into the ground"

try beginning, a5 david murray"

and ending a5 david murray.

19 Apr 2025 07:52:50
Three cheers 😅😅😅 built like a barlinnie skinnie, specky and bald but Nobody can take your humour off you.

19 Apr 2025 10:05:11
3 cheers out of those criteria I wear specs but not all the time. However this is the first I have heard that the ground is split into physical characteristics. I wondered why no-one looked like me. I will be more careful at ST renewal this year 😜.

19 Apr 2025 11:00:11
Never heard anyone over 50 call it the Sandy Jardine stand, the Govan stand is imprinted in our memory even with how much we loved and appreciated the late Sandy.

19 Apr 2025 12:43:53
These Timmy supporters really need to look up what a qualifying statement is in respect to lying.

So transparent.

19 Apr 2025 13:39:38
TT, I'm not letting myself down at all over this . I never said that I knew the Easdales and I'm sure lots of people drive buses for them and that doesn't interest me . What I don't forget and you seem to, is that they were deeply involved with Ashley and his group of Charlatans.

They were the Rangers supporters who were in a position to stand up against what they were doing, with all the dodgy Sports Direct and other deals but they did nothing so they were complicit.

If you think our problems begin and end with David Murray you are forgetting a large piece of our history and names like Craig Whyte, Charles Green and Mike Ashley. Yes David Murray is partially to blame, but it wasn't him that refused to pay a tax bill and threw us into administration.

I don't care what you think of my posts a, I won't forget their involvement like you seem to want to, they left the club in a lot worse state than Parks and co have it now and by the way we probably wouldn't have a club if they didn't wrestle away from Ashley and the Easdales .

19 apr 2025 20:04:00
coopers, itl always be the centenary stand to me and many of my age bro

wsl, they ate business people

do you think they believed what the6 got involved in was to destroy the club they love?

or do you think they believed it was a business decision designed to help Rangers compete again?

you don't know what they believed d9 you?

and not one of those people ever involved in Rangers except for one decision by one man

david murray.

18 Apr 2025 01:44:40
Andrew Cavenagh and Gretar Steinsson both in attendance last night.

18 Apr 2025 05:35:36
Yes they are trying to get their mygers points tally increased due to the takeover falling through.

18 Apr 2025 07:52:31
Were they guests of Sandy Easdale? :P.

18 Apr 2025 13:14:33
All well and good attending games but the fans need some news on the takeover, is it nearly done or how far along is it? , club is an absolute shambles at the moment winning heehaw, season is over and they are asking folk to pay hard earned money for ST.

18 Apr 2025 13:38:38
If the season ticket is such a gripe for you then don't buy it plenty of people to take your place.

18 Apr 2025 13:51:53
Think we would all like more info regarding the takeover bigtrfc however I don't see that being the case I don't see them releasing any info regarding the takeover until the deal is completed as anything can happen.

18 Apr 2025 13:57:50
Bigrfc is fishing lads.

18 Apr 2025 14:07:50
Why would i be fishing by asking for a wee bit of news on the takeover, fans need some positivity.

18 Apr 2025 14:18:36
People on every other day asking for more info or an update on the takeover, the takeover is happening it's moved at incredibly fast pace but if you've ever even just bought a house you know how it is to deal with solicitors and paperwork, this is a deal involving multiple shareholders with multiple solicitors gaining ownership of an international football club/ business/ brand with many other branches to the business these things don't happen overnight.

Maybe just me but when it happens we will be told and until then I am not overly bothered, which is the best way to be able to ignore all of the hogwash which is being written. similar to buying a player when I see the scarf above their head I know it is done. until then just relax, leave the panic to the media and other teams supporters.

Season ticket renewals are the same time ever year. You have used that to slate the club and have a wind up over the takeover. You are fishing.

Big75 you could try being a Trans activist and you might gain some support in your quest for Transparency. Wave a big old see through transparent rainbow flag at the front doors of Ibrox demanding answers from the prospective new owners on how a confidential business deal is going.
