Rangers rumours 4

20 Oct 2025 11:13:38
Chris Jack reporting deal close to being finalised with Danny Rohl.

20 Oct 2025 11:28:28
After ruling himself out, class act.

20 Oct 2025 11:45:03
He said the exact same thing about Gerrard and Muscat.

20 Oct 2025 11:45:10
Good, get him in and let him get on with the job. As for those saying he's a 'Yes man' get a grip.

Whoever comes in needs our support, he's nothing like Martin either, he's an experienced coach and I for one think he's got a great chance of getting something out these players.

It's obvious there are issues with the squad so patience will be needed, maybe more than any manager has been given before.

As long as we can see a plan, the manager is transparent then we need to let him get on with it. If problems arise with Thelwell and Stewart then The top men will need to act.

20 Oct 2025 11:46:07
Lucky to finish top 6 now.

20 Oct 2025 11:32:26
I think there could have been some positivity around Rohl coming in - if they'd presented their reasons behind it well, and if they hadn't made such a mess of Gerrard / Muscat in the press. Feel a bit sorry for the guy coming in now as fans might be less inclined to take to him given the current state of play with Thelwell and Stewart. Hopefully we can park that and get behind the manager (if this one really does go through! )

20 Oct 2025 11:35:50
About time we got this sorted feel for Rohl honestly would have been my pick in the summer.

Be interesting to see his backroom staff considering his Assistant at Wednesday stayed.

20 Oct 2025 11:38:21
You know what, he's not my first or even second choice, but EHL rates him and will have discussed his abilities with our goalie coach so that's a decent reference for the guy. I'd have preferred a man of stature, steel and gravitas but I wish him all the best. Onwards and hopefully upwards.

20 Oct 2025 11:47:06
Because he wasn't getting the job.

20 Oct 2025 12:06:38
LoyalDavie, honestly, you've probably got no idea why he didn't come in previous. He may have had demands that were must haves for him, that the club couldn't proivide.

He's maybe been promised / negotiated more say in matters than he was getting first time round. Which means less power to Thelwell. No-one really knows what broke down, but with the overall feeling around Thelwell and Stewart, i don't blame him for ensuring his tenure is not as poisoned by them as Martin's was.

I for one, wasn't sold on him to begin with, although any manager would get my backing until proven otherwise, but the more i read, the less like Martin he is and the more likely he is to succeed at this club, should the fans / board allow him.

20 Oct 2025 12:19:57
The press release explaining this turn of events will be important for him. We need Thelwell and Stewart to be questioned and tell the truth about what has happened this last two weeks and Rohl himself will have to truthfully tell the fans why he ruled himself out and why he has changed his mind.

If the think they can con the fans with another tame RTV interview they really don't know Rangers fans. We have had so much B. S over the last few years we can smell it a mile away.

20 Oct 2025 12:42:15
How have Rangers made a mess of the press, we haven't said anything to the press. how can we control what the press decide to make up. the problem is our fans jump on the first bit of news they hear, good or bad, and then feel let down when the press have to do a u turn because they guessed wrongly.

20 Oct 2025 13:00:59
If Chris keeps on throwing out names he'll get it right eventually.

20 Oct 2025 11:08:33
Is anyone hearing Rohl is in Glasgow right now? I read on other fans forums that he was in Glasgow.

Also, is it true Stewart and Thelwell have informed the players that a new coach has been appointed, but they refused to name him at the time?

Honesty, there is so much rubbish out there, and has been since Martin was sacked, you just don't know what to believe.

I think I'm going to bury my head under a ton of sand until something actually happens. 🤣.

20 Oct 2025 11:21:24
Sunshine I am not aware of Rohl being in Scotland but he is certainly one of the frontrunners for the Job.

I firmly believe he will be a great option of appointed.

20 Oct 2025 11:24:41
Sunshine, some of my old colleagues informed me that they were advised 'to ignore the scaremongering in the media and that the recruitment process was complete and the new Head Coach would be announced in due course '.

20 Oct 2025 11:45:03
God help us.

20 Oct 2025 11:32:29
Maybe rohl was on the private jet in from Oslo last night? 👍🏻.

20 Oct 2025 11:36:52
Totally agree in great option Asathor, huge problem though mate, if he is named manager he won't get very long unless he hits the ground running, the majority don't want him, without knowing much about him, think he could be a good manager for Rangers.

20 Oct 2025 11:41:22
Got to give Rohl a chance. I feel the job is too early for him but folk saying he's just another Martin know nothing about football, Martin had a patient, boring style. Rohl is more about getting pressing and hunting the ball back in the opponents half. It's what we thought we were getting with Martin.

20 Oct 2025 12:01:51
If it is complete EHL then why the delay in getting it announced and getting him started. Big games coming up, no time for faffing about.

20 Oct 2025 12:25:37
He wouldn't have been my first pick just because it carries on the head coach set up when I think we need a manager but we need somebody in as soon as possible so, as long as we can see progress and some of Martins ideas either being phased out or carried out properly than I am quite happy to back him.


I don't put him in the same bracket as Martin who I didn't want anywhere near our club because I knew he would be a disaster.
Lets hope Danny can make an immediate impact get some wins under our belts and start progressing in all three competitions.

20 Oct 2025 12:46:14
As a fanbase is this really us, we wanted Gerrard but he didn't want us, we wanted Muscat but he didn't want us. now when we get a manager whoever it is won't be good enough and won't get our support unless he wins every game, how sad its become.

all this from supposedly the best support in the world. half the reason no one would want to come is the toxicity from the fans and it will continue no matter who is in because everyone now believes the issue with getting a manager is because of PS and KT which may be right or wrong but what chance will a manager have where if we aren't ahead after 15 mins the boos and banners will be out there.

20 Oct 2025 12:56:31
I'm not sure JFM, maybe the new Head Coach needs a day or two to sort out personal commitments and relocate to a new country?

Just a guess.

20 Oct 2025 13:39:00
Asathor, He's in Scotland now mate, 👌, hopefully backed from all.

20 Oct 2025 10:42:14
Danny Rohl apparently ruled himself out, I say apparently as I don't know what to believe from the media story's flying about, surely we can't be seen to be going back in for guys that have knocked us back, embarrassing.

20 Oct 2025 11:37:06
Breaking news from The Herald saying that Rohl is on the brink of being appointed boss.

He wasn't my choice, but I'll back him 100% and hope that Asa is spot on with his assessment.
Looking forward now to news of the departure of haudit and daudit ASAP.

20 Oct 2025 11:37:09
You would think The Americans thought they bought a circus and not A football team with all these clowns about the place.

How did these guys make there fortune with all these errors?

20 Oct 2025 12:19:49
Both Asa and EHL have been on record, previously, nominating Danny Rohl as their preferred candidate for the vacancy.

Personally, if we are to go down the European coach path, I'm happy to bow to such knowledgeable people's imput.

I still would have liked Stephen Robinson of St Mirren, but I suppose the board would have been accused of "cheapskating" if making such an appointment.

20 Oct 2025 02:49:01
The name is heard not sure if anything in it is Jan zimmerman.

20 Oct 2025 06:15:36
That sounds like Bob Dylan's wife.

20 Oct 2025 06:45:51
Second rate name scraping the barrel to get a yes man for that blimp THREWELL n his son

Get then out they are ruining us inside and out

Guys a weapon.

20 Oct 2025 07:16:09
The times they are a changing.

20 Oct 2025 07:46:46
I see 'yes man' has become the new 'project manager'.

20 Oct 2025 08:22:18
Very good Jaws and Cuillin 😆.

20 Oct 2025 08:39:30
I actually have to laugh every time I hear folk saying 'he's a project manager'! What exactly do folk think we are just now? Are we the finished article? A club dominating the league and winning trophies left right and centre? I'd say at the moment our club is pretty much the definition of a 'project', and a pretty major one at that! ☹️.

20 Oct 2025 08:44:20
Whoever gets the job EHL will be a yes man?

20 Oct 2025 08:59:01
Did he not the theme for Miami Vice.

20 Oct 2025 09:01:42
I think its a bit obvious now that we are looking for a yes man character given the fact that Gerrard and Muscat have both rejected us because they both wanted greater control of transfers and staff etc but Thelwell and co do not want to relinguish that control. We really are a joke at the moment. What are our owners doing?

20 Oct 2025 09:02:03
We're all heading for a padded cell. if this keeps going.

20 Oct 2025 09:10:20
Not for me, not after the way he treayrd feank reynolds.

20 Oct 2025 09:34:13
NCblue - My head nearly exploded trying to understand that.

20 Oct 2025 09:56:58
The answer my friends is blowing in the wind.

20 Oct 2025 10:53:07
Treated frank reynolds*.

20 Oct 2025 12:54:20
NCblue, thought you were still in trying to read that😂😂.

19 Oct 2025 23:40:17
Slaven Bilic is what I've been told, but let's be honest it could up being Michael Carrick.

20 Oct 2025 00:40:59
Looks anyone daft enough to accept the job and be controlled by thelwell and co will get the job, so pretty much any current manager that's unemployed is the next potential manager,
Thought thelwell was walking if martin lost his job, time to finalise his threat and set him free as he is clearly doing all he can to disuade any decent candidates.

20 Oct 2025 01:00:57
If Rangers give the job to ole or micheal carrick i will never be back to ibrox as long at these yank idiots are here ruining our club with these 2 frauds.

20 Oct 2025 01:20:22
Seems they've agreed to Rohl's conditions so maybe not so daft.

20 Oct 2025 05:19:19
I think danny rohl will now be appointed our new head coach 🤔.

20 Oct 2025 06:48:28
Absolute joke we are

Thewell, sturt n Co need to go or we will be damaged beyond repair

Get davie weir in n trewell out

Need as much banners with that clowns face out
So he gets the message he's clearly not wanted at ibrox.

20 Oct 2025 08:29:44
Tbh I wasn't completely sold on Muscat, mostly due to the Postecoglu situation at the moment. I felt that it could all go wrong without the players that suit his style of play.
Not sure about Rohl either, although he was working with one hand tied behind his back at Wednesday and had had successful stints as assistant at Bayern and the German national team.
I was all in for Gerrard as he had walked the walk here and had the measure of Celtic before he left. At the end of the day, if it's Rohl we need to be all in and give him a chance. One thing - Stewart and Thelwell must go asap. Seems to me like they are trying to destroy the club.

20 Oct 2025 09:00:18
LH did those words come from KT mouth?

20 Oct 2025 09:06:14
Michael Carrick refused an interview after Martin was sacked.

20 Oct 2025 09:54:07
Heard the same regarding Lampard when he was spoken to a couple of years ago that fans won't be back if he gets appointed but were more than happy to go for the typical European manager who the ones we've had all more or less have the same sort of philosophy nonsense.
Carrick like Lampard still has a lot offer in management like Lampard is showing now and would be a better option than the rest of the names mentioned.
I personally don't want him but would certainly back the idea more than the Danny Rohl for example which will be an absolute disaster and will get swallowed up in Glasgow.

20 Oct 2025 11:43:01
Rick, Frank is doing a brilliant job at Coventry right now which, unfortunately will rule him out of a move to us right now. Because they are my wife's team I've been keeping a close eye on them and have been really impressed with how they play. Frank has always said he is a big Rangers fan and I'd love him to get the chance to manage us one day. All ifs and buts but imagine how different things could have been had he been installed instead of Clement.

19 Oct 2025 22:32:13
From a very reliable source within the club I am being told it's between Ole and Rohl, what I just heard is that Röhl withdrew when he was offered the role before Muscat but he wanted a contractual guarantee that he could not be relieved of his duties on the basis of the teams performance (as it could take time) and or the clubs positioning in the league table standing until 31/ 12/ 2026. Although he was offered a 3 year contract Rangers refused to agree to
His request leading to him withdraw. I have been told that tonight after the whole Muscat scenario contacted and agreed to Röhls conditions. Apparently the Gerrard situation was similar to this as he said he wasn't happy with the current squad and didn't want to be judged on this seasons performance, again was told no. (could fit with "timing wasn't right for Gerrard" statement as he wanted a full pre season with the squad or at least a period where his position wasn't dependant on the teams performance.

Ole has came up and I think he is a decent manager, he held United together, done well albeit with a good squad at molde and Stewart personally knows and rates him. From what I was told there now the attempted appointments and therefore subsequent failings are due to thelwell and not Stewart. The board expected and were promised a swift resolution from thelwell after martins sacking as he said he he had 3 high profile candidates for the role that fit perfectly and are eager to join. 2 weeks on they have not got that. the board are very unhappy that we are now going for the 4th or 5th choice who originally were not rated high enough to be presented to them by thelwell.

Stewart is a glorified lawyer for the club as has no real footballing knowledge but after the Gerrard rejection he suggested Ole to the board as a temporary solution on a rolling contract. The board said no but after this fiasco decided to reconnect to Röhl but have also asked Stewart to approach ole again as they have lost faith in Thelwells competency.

19 Oct 2025 22:53:43
The demand at our club is to win now seems like Thelwell hasn't grasped that yet I don't think he'll last much longer.

19 Oct 2025 23:29:41
Surely if gerrsrd turned us down fir the same reason we shouldn't approach him.1st.

20 Oct 2025 01:03:27
Gerrard was clearly interested or he would not have left his family or the lifestyle he has in Bahrain to come to London for the talks if the timing wasn't right, obviously someone (Thelwell) said something on day 2 that changed Gerrards mind and he withdrew and flew home, then Rohl rejected us, now Muscat, so their is one problem to us securing a suitable manager and that is Kevin Thelwell, if the owners don't act now we will be in this position again in the next 6 to 12 months.
Of course another obvious issue is our make shift defence that needs sorted out, why Neither Fernandez or Nsiala are being given a chance when our CBs make mistake after mistake game after game and still keep their places.

20 Oct 2025 02:13:33
No manager should have a guaranteed year to turn it around aye maybe have in there contract to be judged from January but if you can't get they players doing better in under a year your a piss poor manager I seriously reckon there is 3/ 4 managers in the spl that would have us winning by January.

20 Oct 2025 03:38:10
Shouldnt need a year to be beating SPL teams let's be honest.

20 Oct 2025 05:33:19
I think they should with the current squad, it's awful.

20 Oct 2025 07:04:51
Been told millions belive nothing
THREWELL is ruining us within
100 percent, Gerrard then muscat, he's chasing anybody decent away cause his mate got sacked
End of.

20 Oct 2025 08:47:06
Gerrard walked because we said no re Beale.

20 Oct 2025 09:13:56
If Beale was in Gerrard's back room team, who was feeding the press rumours about Holland? 🤔.

20 Oct 2025 09:39:32
No one press just plucking names everywhere

Allegedly we suggested Robinson intstead of Beale a non starter.

20 Oct 2025 11:45:06
Robinson would have been an excellent choice as assistant imo, John. I guess now we'll never know.
