Rangers rumours 4

26 Nov 2025 15:43:13
Received information that Robbie Thelwell has also left the club.

Anyone hearing similar?

26 Nov 2025 16:35:12
True blue doing the rounds nothing confirmed by Rangers.

26 Nov 2025 17:05:44
The clear out continues 🤔?

26 Nov 2025 17:13:04
Came from an account on X called 'Inside Ibrox' who, as far as I can see, have got a grand total of zero things correct.

26 Nov 2025 17:36:15
Exactly Scott.

25 Nov 2025 16:34:26
Anyone read rumours Barry Ferguson being lined up for sporting director.? Surely not.

25 Nov 2025 17:19:43
Think it's just speculation due to an interview on Go Radio tbf OWS, don't think anythings in it bud👍.

25 Nov 2025 17:28:09
*checks calendar.
Nope, definitely not 1st April.

25 Nov 2025 17:36:43
No, I can't believe that. This is the start of silly season again. Transfer window coming and this as well.

25 Nov 2025 17:42:30
Not a chance.

25 Nov 2025 18:20:57
Is Nerlinger still on the scene these days.

25 Nov 2025 18:44:41
That made me laugh. 🤣🤣.

25 Nov 2025 19:18:12
Baxter I'm still laughing.

25 Nov 2025 19:44:16
Christ on a bike, he can hardly spell his own name.

25 Nov 2025 20:02:56
If it's a choice between Barry Ferguson and an office water dispenser my money would be on the latter.

25 Nov 2025 20:38:04
That's up there with Jesus can turn water into buckfast.

25 Nov 2025 21:28:00
He was asked about it on GoRadio. Fake news.

25 Nov 2025 22:05:18
Yes directing us into an even worse position. Hilarious.

25 Nov 2025 22:11:21
Speechless lol.

26 Nov 2025 00:18:05
Berlinger is a very very good shout I hope he gets interviewed at least

I'd like to go Scandinavian or Eastern Europe markets heavily so we should look at someone who has the connections in this markets not England n Scotland.

26 Nov 2025 10:41:49
Laugh all we like at a former captain who was was a great player. To be honest I think he'd do no worse than some of the dumplings we've had. Let's keep hoping for someone foreign with a fancy name though! Ohh just a thought did we have anyone in this position when Walter was manager?

26 Nov 2025 11:03:07
Bunster don't be so soft. No fan has questioned his playing ability ever.

26 Nov 2025 12:16:21
Not Ferguson. but maybe not as far from the mark as you might think. I'm told it's a former player and final stages of negotiation are being settled.

26 Nov 2025 14:12:42
Can hardly spell his own name? How can fans treat a former captain with so much contempt, comments like this is completely and utterly uncalled for, some of our fans treat our former players appallingly and should be ashamed.

26 Nov 2025 16:50:14
If the club had listened to his suggestion of signing Mulligan and Shankland this summer wed be in a better position.

26 Nov 2025 18:05:10
agree GJD, it's embarrassing the way some talk, beyond crappy patter and don't give me the snowflake nonsense either.

26 Nov 2025 20:59:15
Sir Walter McCoist I take it you have absolute proof of our former captain and manager's illiteracy to support that vile statement? If not, you should be utterly ashamed of yourself. The same goes for the moron who calls himself Still Blue.

26 Nov 2025 22:53:49
A fantastic player and leader on the park, but I've met him enough times over the years to know he's not the brightest bulb in the box. And no, I'm not utterly ashamed of myself for saying that. We aren't the first to have differing opinions on this forum, nor will we be the last, we'll agree to disagree and simply move on.

27 Nov 2025 02:36:56
Barry still needs to line up his podcast fringe line first.

25 Nov 2025 16:29:01
I was told today by a guy who's close to former motherwell ceo and is currently at aberdeen, that Rangers interested in alan burrows 🤔.

25 Nov 2025 17:20:40
Apparently Burrows can't stand Rangers going by some posts earlier.

25 Nov 2025 17:53:01
Absolutely no chance.

25 Nov 2025 19:11:15
OMG another laugh 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

25 Nov 2025 19:19:21
Walter there was a big social media profile yesterday, I'd prefer lawwell.

25 Nov 2025 20:16:08
No for me …. I doubt he'd make the shortlist.

25 Nov 2025 20:39:32
Are you and sws trying 2 out do each other lol.

25 Nov 2025 22:12:14
Hes good at his job.

I find him a likeable guy.

Going by what's been said it would be a banners out appointment

Not good for the club.

25 Nov 2025 22:42:56
Leanne Dempster would ve my guess of being in the mix.

26 Nov 2025 01:32:24
Why consider a Rangers hater with a below average record with below average teams when we probably already employ the best candidate in Fraser Thornton?

26 Nov 2025 08:56:50
I agree Thorntonsuite, i'd hope Fraser Thornton gets our CEO job permanently and ticks most boxes 👍🇬🇧.

26 Nov 2025 09:19:29
Thornton suite do you think Fraser would be interested in ceo post full time?

26 Nov 2025 15:43:57
I would love us to at least approach Davie Weir
He would do us a turn.

26 Nov 2025 21:04:22
John, I don't know, my friend, but his CV is admirable as are his qualifications. He has vast experience of senior management and I'd like to hear about any candidate who could offer more.

25 Nov 2025 12:40:03
Scott McDermot at the Record reckons this is close to Rohl's assessment of the squad:

GREEN: Jack Butland, James Tavernier, John Souttar, Connor Barron, Mohamed Diomande, Nico Raskin, Djeidi Gassama, Liam Kelly, Mikey Moore, Findlay Curtis.

YELLOW: Derek Cornelius, Nedim Bajrami, Lyall Cameron, Clinton Nsiala, Dujon Sterling, Bojan Miovski, Jayden Meghoma, Emmanuel Fernandez, Danilo.

RED: Max Aarons, Joe Rothwell, Youssef Chermiti, Thelo Aasgaard, Rabbi Matondo, Oliver Antman, Kieran Dowell, Nasser Djiga, Bailey Rice.

Do you agree?

25 Nov 2025 13:29:19
Almost all of the RED were summer signings.

25 Nov 2025 13:34:55
Antman should be in the yellow group and Bajrami i think should be in the green.
Tav in the red purely because he's past his best and getting on a bit for an attack minded full back.

25 Nov 2025 13:35:16
Cornelius would be green. As would Nsiala. However if it's correct why would Antman and Aasgaard be getting a game ahead of Curtis.
Plus Rohl said that Aasgaard would come good after coaching.

25 Nov 2025 13:54:25
It's just an opinion piece of who the writer thinks is in each category, posted it for debate as some will disagree 👍.

25 Nov 2025 14:00:49
Not entirely,

Gassama and Moore can go down to yellow

Bajrami, Miovski, and Danilo are red

Derek should be green.

25 Nov 2025 14:01:57
Curtis green but red Antman and Aasgaard before him, Scott McDermott 🤐.

25 Nov 2025 14:24:02
It's not too wide of the mark.

25 Nov 2025 14:30:26
Need to ask why some of the red players getting a good amount of game time ahead of players regarded higher?

25 Nov 2025 14:54:29
Not with Rice and Cornelius?

25 Nov 2025 15:21:52
Antman is awful. He's not even a guarantee md starter for Finland. Just bang average player. He did well in The Netherlands but he never played against a low block. He's not a winger to commit a defender and go past them. He's a link up wide midfielder who wants to run onto the ball and hit the gaps to cross late into the box.

It's clear in his YouTube compilation before he signed. Rangers are constantly playing against low blocks. He'll never work out here. Hopefully he can be sold in the summer as January isn't realistic. Deserves to be in the red.

25 Nov 2025 15:52:11
The facts are it's an opinion/guesswork piece. We'll never know who's in what section and can all guess and dismiss those we disagree with.

He mentioned contract length and injuries among other factors so it's not purely on technical ability or tactical suitability. Also if Chermiti and Antman were red why do they start over those in higher ranking sections. Why does he give Aarons game time. Rothwell I would assume probably is in the red as he's disappeared from the squads.

25 Nov 2025 16:10:32
Honeatly think someone has pulled this outta their backside

For a start why would Curtis be in green when not had a sniff of first team under Rohl qhile Antman keeps getting games.

25 Nov 2025 16:12:02
We need to stop overlooking guys that perform well in spl.

25 Nov 2025 16:12:34
There should only be amber and red - not one players deserves to a green. Butland makes bread and butter saves but is prone to throw away stupid goals, so should be let go if a better alternative becomes available.

Souttar is bang average at best. Tav enough said. Raskin and Dio both flatter to deceive and none of the others are of a category that they can't be let go.

25 Nov 2025 16:13:02
The Netherlands Guaruntee a free flowing attacking football. The amount of goals scored in that league is astounding.

He's a skilful talented player so in that environment he's going to excel.

Maybe not here, see him going on loan with option or obligation to buy in January.

25 Nov 2025 16:15:34
Moore isn't our player and isn't goig be so for him to be green baffling all our loans should be red in my opinion.

25 Nov 2025 16:28:44
Good post Fork and I know is all hypothetical but loan signings should be under another heading.
Do we know if Meghoma is on an option to buy?
Moore, Didja, Aaarons definitely RED but unfortunately Moore is outwith our transfer budget.

25 Nov 2025 16:29:36
Mj 88 probably because the journalist does not pick the team.

25 Nov 2025 16:31:47
Kelly has not played a game and is out of contract, certainly not a green imo.

25 Nov 2025 16:36:35
Cameron needs good run before any categorisation can truly take place IMHO.

25 Nov 2025 16:53:27
Almost all the green are from previous regimes, don't think Cameron should be lumped in, he needs an actual run in the team, it's a pretty daming list if true, and would be the ammunition required to give Thelwell his books, he has wasted some amount of cash on very poor players, January going to be interesting not only on bringing fresh blood in but who will go, think quite a few will be champing at the bit to run away.

25 Nov 2025 17:24:08
Agreed Copland, loans should be separated, I think we do have an option on Meghoma and Cornelius also I believe.

25 Nov 2025 17:31:32
Probably going to have a few disagree here but Gassama is red as is Souttar and surely if Curtis was green we would have seen him some by now. Cameron is orange but Aasgaard is red and yet you'd think the opposite since playtime suggests otherwise.

My list would be

Green - Butland, Cornelius, Meghoma, Raskin, Diomande, Cameron, Barron and Curtis.

The rest you can put anywhere you want but I wouldn't be sad to see them go.

25 Nov 2025 17:40:23
A few wrong for me but the journalist chose Sterling. He is a red just down to his injury record.

25 Nov 2025 17:55:06
BBJ I agree with your list it is pretty much what I would pick.

25 Nov 2025 19:32:08
Guys ain't just a coincidence that every manager we have rates our captain james Tavernier 🤔.

25 Nov 2025 20:19:56
The Red, Amber, Green was a journalist's idea of what he thinks, for debate on here, his idea of the placements not our managers, it's an opinion piece for discussion, nothing to do with whether Tav is rated or not.

26 Nov 2025 01:26:31
he really likes Sterling i know that for a fact spoke highly of him on a call last week but did also say about his fitness.

26 Nov 2025 02:23:10
Antman will be given time and will come good given I've experienced a fair amount of Dutch football as I've worked between there and Germany for around 5 years this free flowing football is a lot of garbage and teams do sit 11 deep especially in the top flight Feynoord psv Ajax twente and alkmare usually play attacking football then you have a few teams who produce a few seasons of good talent currently utretcht/heerveen previously teams like vitesse gronigan ect but out with that the remaining 12/13 teams typically sit behind the ball if playing a tougher opponent. Rohl came out and said he's been suffering illness for a while which is likely affecting his game and it also tends to take players time to settle in.

Another thing The amount of people in our support who have little to no knowledge about football is astounding plays 5 or 6 bad games - dud doesn't get the numbers dud gets the numbers but isn't flashy dud the list is endless if no one gets behind the players how can we lift them and push them on? Ironically the only league title we've won in the past 14 years we didn't have any fans and quite a few of those games up untill around December when they fully crumbled we probably would've lost if the usual atmosphere was there. We can be the best fans in the world but we can also be the worst at times and untill we show a bit of unity and get behind the team our fortunes won't go up look across the city there all moaning because there board aren't improving because they know they've got it cushty but they aren't moaning about there current crop of players because they know 9/10 there going to win almost everything anyway even if most of them are rotten because they've got a decent core and the amount of last minute goals they score typically means that the fans aren't on the backs of players untill a result has went wrong where as if we aren't 2/3 up by half time everyone's booing and going nuts.

I want us winning like everyone else I want trophy's to return but we need to give patience we can't keep rebuilding every 6 months.

26 Nov 2025 11:30:00
A good insight and viewpoint, Sam.

26 Nov 2025 13:46:03
SamOfOrange, best post I've read for a while 👏 and the players are written off far too quickly by many.

24 Nov 2025 22:12:15
Guys watch out for Keelan Adam's Falkirk defender on Rangers radar from a Falkirk fan I work with.

24 Nov 2025 23:57:40
Never good enough imo.

25 Nov 2025 01:28:47
He's in his first season out of non league football after postponing a law degree. He is now holding down the right back spot at Falkirk and I seem to remember him having a decent showing against us. Maybe that sparked a wee interest. He is 24, though, but his CV certainly reminds me of a certain Davie Weir. Late developers are sometimes gold.

25 Nov 2025 08:40:41
The amount of reasonably priced players who know Scottish football but are classed as never good enough is laughable.
Doig, Shankland, Lewis Ferguson, Josh Mulligan.
We could have them all for less than 3m all in.


I'm going to use Barron as a good example, grown as a player and although he's not going to be Ronaldo, he'll be a very good player and servant for the club.

25 Nov 2025 08:43:22
He's a good player along with Allan.

25 Nov 2025 11:27:23
Amuses me. Just about every name mentioned on here is deemed as never good enough. Or not Rangers class. Rangers clad was a term coined years ago when we had arguably World class players. No such things as Rangers class anymore.

25 Nov 2025 11:55:54
Would take lads like him anytime over overhyped, overpaid dross fae down south or abroad.
We need a core squad of Scottish players with a bit of heart if we are to be successful again.

what's Rangers class, thelo, slow old Joe, ants not in his pants, I could go on, this snobbery needs to stop, it never bothered Walter to pick up a player fae lower Scottish teams.

25 Nov 2025 12:32:32
BazBear, I don't disagree that those 4 would make a difference I doubt we would have got them for the money you suggest. Both Doig and Ferguson went to Italy for over £3million each and I'm pretty sure Aberdeen in particular would have added a " Rangers tax" and they would have cost us more.

While I agree that the Rangers class label is not what it once was, we should not be signing players just because they are better than we currently have, that's a pretty low bar.

We should still be wanting to sign players based on the level we want to achieve. I don't know Adams at all but maybe a full season at Falkirk in the top league will give us a better idea how good he is, so we should be watching him and others to be fair.

25 Nov 2025 12:32:36
Mulligan preferred Hibs, says it all. You can't get players who aren't interested in coming in first place.

However, there is a level of snobbery amongst our fans with regards to homegrown players.

25 Nov 2025 12:36:09
Falkirk are a tidy little team been a fun watch this season.

25 Nov 2025 13:57:04
Been said on here many times Martin vetoed the signing of Mulligan, offered 3k, said no offered 5k said yes was coming and Martin blocked it.

25 Nov 2025 14:03:24
Chilling mulligan wanted Rangers, rm did not.

25 Nov 2025 14:31:03
CalB, Falkirk play entertaining football and are a very organised side, have a good manager mate, look at his record the last three seasons, league one champions going undefeated, champions in the championship, 5th in our league, he would have be a good Celtic appointment, good Celtic man and plays the game the right way, just imagine what he would do with superior quality, so very glad they never though, Nancy is so big a gamble i didn't believe they would take it.

25 Nov 2025 18:07:46
Wsl, I was kinda thinking at various points along the line, such as Ferguson a few years before he went to Italy, doig, the year before, mulligan next to nothing, Shankland free rather than their last moves, but even at twice that they would have been cheaper than Danilo.

25 Nov 2025 19:39:59
Adams was he not previously at Rangers?

26 Nov 2025 15:47:45
I don't think so, may have been there as a kid but can't remember him copland3.

27 Nov 2025 07:30:16
Apparently he did spend some time training with Gers back when he was a kid but his slight frame meant he was released by the club.

24 Nov 2025 20:59:19
Jeff Fong (49ers chief) and Gretar Steinsson were at the game at the weekend, coincidence or not🤔.

25 Nov 2025 08:44:13
Were there not some 49rs heirarchy here for the Celtic game or thereabouts?

25 Nov 2025 09:33:56
I think there all getting now what they have taken over
I'm hoping to see big improvements this summer under them
Been bit of a disastrous start to there reign but there clearing out and starting again this time more informed in my opinion.

25 Nov 2025 10:53:59
Stig, I agree.
Good to see them owning their mistakes.

25 Nov 2025 12:00:18
There is no manual for running clubs, there is no formula to guarantee success. Analytics only goes so far with managers and players. The point is they got it wrong but have took decisive action. I know it wasn't fast enough for fans but they do their due diligence get all the facts and then acted. Should be applauded.

25 Nov 2025 12:33:25
Was Steinsson not involved in the appointment of Martin?

25 Nov 2025 14:04:30
Wsl. He certainly was, I really don't rate him.

24 Nov 2025 15:52:14
Does anyone know if Thelwell's son has been shown the door as well? @John.

24 Nov 2025 16:01:28
He has not, at this moment he is still an employee.

24 Nov 2025 16:02:29
Baxter not yet. Purdy needs to be next.

24 Nov 2025 16:14:28
No he hasn't.

24 Nov 2025 16:29:17
So far I've read that him and Purdy won't be sacked.

24 Nov 2025 16:31:49
100% John. Purdy and Thelwell Jr away and they need to look at the upcoming appointment of our head of academy in January.

Anyone with previous ties to Thelwell should be booted. Get Koppen back.

24 Nov 2025 16:32:38
It is interesting how many people want him gone. He only arrived last month and has had no part in the disastrous recruitment that took place with Purdy and Kevin Thelwell.
Is he to be sacked simply because of who his father is. Seems a bit of a witch hunt. Happy that Thelwwll senior and Stewart are away.

24 Nov 2025 16:37:46
Would we take Koppen back if Purdy goes?

24 Nov 2025 16:44:28
I think it will be a cause of get the New CEO in the door and then he will create a structure for what Director he needs and also what current staff need to go. Its a shame this was not done earlier as we missed out on a great man for one of the Roles in Davie Weir.

24 Nov 2025 16:58:08
I'd imagine there's quite a few sweating.
We need more sackings.

24 Nov 2025 17:28:09
Jfm, for me it's how the recruitment process was handled.

24 Nov 2025 17:29:08
Bro I would Weir not have needed to want the job.

24 Nov 2025 17:48:04
We spend more money and negative energy on back room staff and directors etc at our club, shocking!
Would hate to know how much money all this restructuring costs us each year! Payoffs and severance fees.
Should be more money spent on the squad than the suits! Worlds upside down!

24 Nov 2025 17:59:04
Mark why more sacking we need to get the right people in the building then stability or we're done for. Got to say I think there's more to this than meets the eye.

24 Nov 2025 18:08:38
Nils koppen would be offers to be a part of the new k set up if it was upto me. Is ask him his ideal position and title and give him that. Let him run the football dept.

24 Nov 2025 18:09:22
Yes from me Bee82 but can't see him stepping back to help us out.

24 Nov 2025 18:10:38
Koppen has started a new job in the last few weeks. can't remember who, a Swedish team maybe? Something like that. So unlikely he'll be returning. Davie Weir?

24 Nov 2025 18:23:17
Good move from Daddy Thelwell bringing in his son
2 pay offs for the family inheritance!

😡.

24 Nov 2025 18:38:17
Bee - would Koppen want to come back?

Anyway, he's just joined Copenhagen.

Thought the guy did a v. good job in difficult circumstances.

24 Nov 2025 18:40:19
Does anyone really think he got the job fairly.

24 Nov 2025 18:51:03
From what i got in the Cavenagh interview, everyone has the chance to prove their worth in their jobs so, that tells me that neither Thelwell jr or Purdy will be sacked unless they do something that would merit them getting sacked.

24 Nov 2025 19:20:33
We shouldn't assume everyone appointed by Thelwell is useless just because he appointed them. They will all stay until the new guys takeover and then what will be will be. The new Head of the Academy hasn't started yet and can't be blamed for anything except wanting to work for Rangers and even Thelwells boy had nothing to do with the disastrous recruitment.

To be honest even Thelwell and Purdy can only be partly blamed as a lot of the players were wanted by our manager at the time.
Glad they are both gone but no need for a night of the long knives just yet.

24 Nov 2025 19:48:59
The last thing we need is more upheaval just as DR getting results.

24 Nov 2025 19:59:48
Mac it was Purdy who brought Chermiti to Rangers, Thelwell then signed off on it.

24 Nov 2025 20:09:54
Wsl my issue is there was no shortlist for many posts unless u can name anyone who was interviewed.

24 Nov 2025 20:35:25
Wls look at the state of Thelwell jrs summer business at Norwich before he left. There's no way him and purdy are going to be leading recruitment in January if they have sacked Thelwell.

24 Nov 2025 20:47:39
That's a sackable offence right there and then John.

24 Nov 2025 21:50:57
Well it won't be koppen then.

And what people are saying here then is … Stewart and Thelwell were saying right we need this job filled and giving it to someone without doing interviews etc?

While I'm against those 2 I can't say I'm against that type of way of working.

If u give someone the job, ie Stewart ie Thelwell then they are entitled to run it the way they choose.

If they think giving the job to someone they know and feel will help good at it then Thata uo to then.

The problem lies with giving them the job, the reins and the keys in the first place.

If u want someone to run it via interview panels and so on then pick someone that will work that way.

24 Nov 2025 21:51:17
I don't think there's any basis to terminate Thelwell junior's contract at present, would possibly be opening ourselves up to unfair dismissal?

Would imagine there will be certain metrics/targets that Stewart and Thelwell have fallen demonstrably short of so there is justification to sack them?

24 Nov 2025 21:55:17
Dado, there gone, it's not fault of people employed imo.

24 Nov 2025 22:14:49
John 2575, I can't as I don't pretend that I'm in the know, I'm just a fan looking in from the outside like most. I can comment on players because I can see what they do in front of my own eyes but not staff. We don't just bin every player that were signed by a manager that we sack. Raskin was signed by Beale who has only just been beaten out of the two worst managers we've ever had by Martin. I've worked for a good few bad bosses but they occasionally hire good people so everybody deserves to be judged on their merits.


As for Thelwells boy, he wasn't in charge of recruitment at Norwich so he may not be qualified for the job he has with us now but its certainly not because of that. Personally I have no idea what the recruitment process was in the summer and whose idea it was to sign who. I have heard that most signings were at Martins request so others may have been guilty of making these moves happen. Not saying some shouldn't be binned but just that we shouldn't assume everybody brought in is useless. Currently its guilt by association.

24 Nov 2025 22:31:08
Will, Thelwell jnr is just in the door. We can get rid easily if we want to.

25 Nov 2025 01:04:15
Id assume unfair dismissal would be non existent due to the payoff they'd get?

We had plenty time to go back in for Koppen, he was available for months after we stupidly released him,
Stewart and Thelwell should have been sacked earlier, Koppens joined Danish Champions League club FC Copenhagen now as head of 1st team scouting and recruitment, given his track record of spotting and signing quality young raw talents that sell for good money, he is an excellent appointment for an ammbitious club like FC Copenhagen, who will benefit greatly from his recruitment and scouting knowledge and contacts, without spending too much for new young players, could have been us but we shut that down just as his signings were increasing in talent and value and will never know how much he would have benefited us given a few more years, just look at how average PSV were when he joined, now they are top quality side as Koppen was given time there as he was with Genk.


Good luck to Nils he deserves a club that both want him and believe in his abilities to bring in quality talent and build a skillful side while scooping big money from his reccomendations, he is one of top talent scouts in Europe for a reason, he is very good at his job.

25 Nov 2025 05:37:24
I think Seeker under employment law that his contract can be terminated without reason within the first 3 months but notice period would need to be given. Maybe he's working that notice.
I think he's getting it tight because of his father but I don't belive he's qualified to do the job he was given.
Horrible position to be in.

Jfm09… you know the old saying about the apple eh.

25 Nov 2025 14:22:27
Yes I believe that's correct jfm 👍.

25 Nov 2025 17:00:00
Camoo I'd say Unfair appointment (Nepotism) in the recruitment of Thewell Jnr by Purdy, his dad's mate. You're not trying to tell me there's not better and more experienced options out there than the inexperienced 27 years old old son of the Director of Football? Have a look at his summer recruitment at Norwich.

It's as bad if not worse than his dads, as is Norwich's league position.

24 Nov 2025 12:07:12
Thelwell and Stewart both gone, Thornton acting ceo until replacements found.

24 Nov 2025 12:48:51
About time, great to see the owners taking decisive action to sort out issues which have been building for some time now.

24 Nov 2025 13:10:42
What we now need is an investigation into Director of footballs transfers 👍.

24 Nov 2025 14:18:59
We started the season full of hope.
These 2 boys have been a huge disappointment.
Its a relief to see them away.
Good luck to young Danny.

24 Nov 2025 13:24:16
excellent news and the next appointments need to be the right fit with the right background and experience.

24 Nov 2025 14:44:05
Bobby, why do we need a second investigation.

24 Nov 2025 15:02:18
John, agreed.
We need to close the book and Stewart /Thelwell and simply move on. Errors have been made, action taken and seems to me we should now be looking onwards and upwards. So long as lessons are learned I say let any further action rest.

24 Nov 2025 15:13:09
Just got to hope Thelwell comes in for Chermiti, in his next job!

24 Nov 2025 15:20:21
It's maybe just my bad mind, but has there have been some underhand business been conducted by Thewell? Maybe there has already been and that's the real reason for his summary dismissal? nothing to do with alignment of values.

24 Nov 2025 15:38:53
Really positive news. I wonder if this was expedited by Danny's 'traffic light report' where majority of summer signings sitting at Red or Amber putting the nail in the coffin?

24 Nov 2025 15:45:24
Said day one there was something not right with Thelwell.

For a director of football to come to a club without a dossier of potential signings when recruitment is what you will be judged on said it all.

Prooved correct but hurts that its set us back so much however this is a good day for the clubs future and don't think its any surprise it was done before transfer window

We just need to make sure and get right man now.

Id maybe put someone with Rangers results on pitch as their main goal as an overseer of what next director of football does someone with a football backround.

24 Nov 2025 15:45:59
Wonder if we will now get truth on Chermiti deal and other appointments at club.

24 Nov 2025 15:38:26
Leeds fans now hoping that mess gets sorted too, I know a few and they are far from happy. that's normal really but they seem even worse the now.

24 Nov 2025 15:58:49
Cause he squandered 10 mill to his mates at Everton? on a complete no hoper John

Deal screams aof shadiness
Lots a folks calling Thelwell out for it
Stuart let it happen

Both thought they would get away with it as Owners in America?

24 Nov 2025 16:03:39
Bobby need to be cautious re these type of posts pal.

24 Nov 2025 16:17:27
Blue u totally miss the point. Cavanagh instigated an investigation into the role of both this has resulted in both being SACKED.

There is no point in another investigation, what would u do sack them again.

24 Nov 2025 18:16:41
Bluedreamer, But you don't play at every level for Portugal if you're a no hoper, rated highly by many that knows better than us, his only problem was the fee we paid and that shouldn't be his problem.

24 Nov 2025 18:43:30
John if that's the inside info and accurate then fair but if other posters don't know that how can they know what the pair have been sacked for.

You need to be a little fairer on posters

Just because you have inside info shouldn't mean you put posters down.

24 Nov 2025 19:23:47
Don't you think Cavenagh and co have already done an investigation before making these decisions and if there was anything underhand, as is being implied, they would have done something about it. After all its his money.

24 Nov 2025 19:25:08
Bobby was asking questions not making statements.

24 Nov 2025 20:02:40
Forevever I've written several times about the investigation and who was actually interviewed for the jobs, never ever put any one down

Going back on today's posts alone I've said it six times.

24 Nov 2025 21:08:45
Thelwell's transfer dealings at Rangers have been shocking. Paying 10million for a player who hadn't scored in 2 and a half years and bringing in friends and family to important roles. Not to mention being responsible for our worst ever manager.

Patrick Stewart, brought in from the basket case club that is Man United. Done nothing for our club but hang loyal supporters out to dry. Backed Clement after Queen's Park, Backed Martin to the hill an absolute disaster of an appointment. I am glad my club is rid of them 🫡.

25 Nov 2025 10:40:45
Mystar,

He's a no. hoper. Everton no goals - thelwell signing 8 mill. Rangers - 1 goal £10 mill. To me that's a no hoper, so he's played with Portugal, no help to us. Certainly no reason to waste 10 mill.

Yes both sacked, John, But there has to be an investigation into:
1. wages they inflated for themselves?

2. money squandered to other team on over inflated player?

Yes they have been sacked at Rangers
But if any wrongdoing money wise, John. That's a totally different investigation.

25 Nov 2025 12:39:48
Florida Bear, just wish Stewart had the guts to stick with his backing of Clement, we wouldn't be in the mess we are now. We gained nothing during Ferguson's tenure and if Clement had been given the backing Martin got, I'm pretty sure we would have been challenging at the top of the league and have 9 points in the bag in Europa League.

We threw him under the bus at the start of the season then talked about continuity and sacked him months later.

25 Nov 2025 14:10:32
Blue, that is the investigation that was just completed.

24 Nov 2025 11:20:32
Thelwell and Stewart to be dissmissed. today, announcment at 12 noon.

24 Nov 2025 12:40:13
Its done.

24 Nov 2025 12:41:52
I saw that about bloody time 😁.

24 Nov 2025 12:50:31
Best news iv had all season n9w we must get this next appointment right.

24 Nov 2025 13:37:15
That came out of no where for me as much as I didn't like them in the role i'd have thought they would have got the rest of the season.

24 Nov 2025 15:01:08
Get Davie Weir.

24 Nov 2025 15:47:03
Glad its done but for cavenaugh to continue to allow them to hire staff for so long does not bode well for him either.

24 Nov 2025 18:44:10
And would he have not needed to sign off on deals like Chermiti.

24 Nov 2025 20:07:05
Forever simple answer no. The structure as explained by him and Stewart

Recruitment i'd players, Thelwell negotiated fee and salary, Stewart pays from the allocated budget

The owners stated they did not wish to micromanage executive people, I think that needs to change, but does Cavanagh have the knowledge

Imo we should have a ceiling on player cost, certainly lower than 8 million.

24 Nov 2025 21:00:02
I wouldn't mind paying 8 million for a player that was worth it and delivered for us.
How or why we paid that amount for Chermiti is ridiculous.
A striker that hadn't scored in 28 months prior to joining us just doesn't make sense.
Strange they both got the boot with immediate effect.
I'm impressed with the Americans lately.

25 Nov 2025 05:21:40
Chermiti was out with long term injuries during the no score period, plus his injury rehab, see Danilo, was scoring for fun in Brazil, at Ajax and Feyenoord before coming to us, not so much now since his long term injuries and rehab, still the best CF we have right now, he's scored more than the Miovski and Chermiti combined.


None of our current CFs are Rangers quality on current form and a fit in form Morelos, Dessers, Igamane could outscore all of the current 3 combined and barely break a sweat doing so.
We don't keep proven strikers we release or sell them then squander millions buying multiple duds to
Replace them lol.
