I don't believe that this has happened overnight.

Salzburg sacked their coach week's ago.

Rhol was going home for 3 weeks

He happens to be very close to Salzburg.

I'm thinking it's possible that maybe interviews have been held during the last three weeks, they've decided on Rohl and now it's been released to press, because announcement is likely imminent.

I don't believe Rohl will be back for preseason!

Thoughts?

John says Rohl wants to leave us. He's obviously well connected at Ibrox, and, going on past experience, I've no reason to doubt this is true. As Egl says, RB Salzburg are dripping with money compared to our league. It's a no brainer for Rohl.

Glasgow is closer to Salzberg travel time than Leipzig is (where his family is). Direct flights from Glasgow, and none from Leipzig. Maybe they have the internet and can chat over WhatsApp or similar. 😉

12 Jun 2026 22:40:31
Angus, it's really not closer or quicker. Just saying.

12 Jun 2026 22:51:35
The only way to get from Salzburg to Leipzig is by train (over 7 hours), car (much longer) or by an indirect flight (3 1/2 hrs). All of these take more time than the direct flight from Glasgow to Salzburg (2hrs 20). So, it is quicker to get from Glasgow to Salzburg. So, it is much quicker; I actually checked before I posted. Just saying.

12 Jun 2026 23:08:31
But why would he fly from Glasgow to Salzburg if all his family are in Leipzig? The timings you need to be making are Glasgow to Leipzig or Salzburg to Leipzig? Which, the train is 5 hours 51. 🫡

12 Jun 2026 23:46:22
6hrs 54 mins it takes. I have just checked.
tho Salzburg is closer to there than Glasgow is.

As the crow flies 59 mins and from Glasgow 5-7hrs

I don't know why it matters, but Salzburg is closer. That is a fact.

13 Jun 2026 08:34:50
Not when I am looking to take a plane. Glasgow to Salzburg is direct. Salzburg to Leipzig is via Frankfurt. Hence the faster flight time.

Glasgow to Leipzig isn't direct so you need to go via Frankfurt again and the flight times are then about the same.



Not saying distance wise Glasgow is closer but that due to lack of direct flights the travel time is. That was the discussion, not which two are closer together.

It was soo do with him being closer to his family btw which is why it started.

Let Rohl go for 5 million get home back in 18 months for free because Salzburg will punt him after a season.

12 Jun 2026 15:20:25
Why would you want him back? Glad someone taking him off us for 5 mill tbh, as he probably would be up for the sack come Christmas.

12 Jun 2026 19:35:20
Take the 5M, it will pay the compo for getting rid of our next manager in October. Then the merry-go-round will continue

12 Jun 2026 10:05:09
If Rohl leaves then all the best to him, he pulled us out of a hole and gave us hope for a while.

The two main contenders to replace him:

Gerrard, by all accounts was ready to return but couldn't work under Thelwell and co. Biggest concern with him now is his back room team. Steve Holland was going to be part of that but now assistant at Man United and Defoe is at Woking.

If it's McInnes does he bring half the Hearts team that are out of contract and in that improving the squad. He knows the league 100% fell short last season for various reasons but with the right backing could he be the better option?

12 Jun 2026 07:39:00
If Rohl is to leave then I personally think this is good move for both sides the falling out with players ect
Was probably never going work this new season anyway and would needed replacement half way threw season

Hear is few manager we could approach
Knustsen would be top priory but he has done brilliant with bodo glimt that would make real statement
John Dahl tomasson is another good coach
Also Gio was let go by Liverpool and I think him backed properly with this board he would do a brilliant job
But then same argument could be made for gerrard but look at number players gerrard went threw and how long things Tain him to get right
Then you have Derrick Mcinnes at Hearts done brilliant job at Hearts so backed with more funds and is Rangers man he could well do a brilliant job at our club

12 Jun 2026 08:40:37
I agree Gio wasn't backed properly in his time with us but domestically we were horrible to watch under him and that was with a fairly strong squad. We obv had injury issues and poor recruitment at that point but the quality of play was poor.

12 Jun 2026 09:06:00
The quality was poor because of injury, he was forced to play players out of position, young lads who would never normally be starters and strikers taking injections just so we could have a striker on the park. Indeed, at times we didn't even have a striker available.

12 Jun 2026 09:07:06
And SWS domestic football wasn't always eye candy either. We often were outplayed on the park, but had the resilience to hold on and get a goal on the counter.

12 Jun 2026 10:55:06
I suspect it will be another huge payday for bookies. Easy for them just to put up the same list of managers as last time and rake in the cash. Whilst an outsider no-one has thought of will get the job.

11 Jun 2026 21:30:36
Can't remember who but someone was saying that this was possibly on the cards, that there was almost a game of who blinks first with AC and Rohl both publicly saying he would be supported and here but of the understanding that if the right offer and compensation package was available he'd be gone

11 Jun 2026 22:45:45
Goram, it was always a one way street. Cav did not want change, manager wants out.

11 Jun 2026 23:05:02
Why did Rohl even come in the first place then, John. He's been in the job 9 months and the both tell us at the end of last season he's here to stay and he'll be our coach next season.

The more that's revealed, the less it makes sense.

And also that before he was appointed, it was reported that he had walked away.

It's understandable that AC doesn't want more change. I don't want more change either and I can't help but thinking we just keep getting fed a pack of lies.

12 Jun 2026 08:28:26
Gazza, I am with you on this, but know from life in general that companies very rarely tell the whole truth. I think Rohl would always look to take an opportunity at the right club in Germany, particularly. I know Salzburg are in Austria, but if he does will are Leipzig the next logical step.

Then, if you think that RBS would have known they were sacking their manager at end of last season (they don't just do it on a whim), so feelers out to agents to see if managers would be interested.

That, together with Klopp's backing, would explain the approach.

Disappointing, as he did well last season and Klopp and others obviously see a good manager in the making. I can also understand the willingness to go, not just geographically, but he may get more than 3-4 months with RBS to build a team.

12 Jun 2026 09:05:04
That would have been me, Goram. 😎

14 May 2026 13:23:22
So far, heard a few different rumours about Rohl's position and the stance of the owners.
Heard another one today on site.
Game of bluff between both parties.
Rohl wants to return home and may be in demand elsewhere.
Owners aren't over the moon with the current situation but would let him go to another club if he asks to go.
Where it gets tricky is that the owners don't want to sack him this early in his tenure and are willing to let him go for the compensation from any interested clubs in his service.




Rohl did similar in his second season at Wednesday. Doubts over his tenure. He came back late for pre-season and left by mutual consent 2 weeks later.
It's a case of who's got the best poker face.
Take all of this with a pinch of salt if you so wish.

12 Jun 2026 09:11:11
Well, John, if he wants out, then indeed it's a one way street. I just hate the turmoil we have to go through every friggin season, and sometimes 2 or 3 times in a season. To be fair, with the hostility at Ibrox every time there is any sign of failing, then who really wants to be there.



We don't have millions to spend to guarantee success, and even if we did we all know there is never a guarantee. I get it, fans are frustrated at lack of titles, but changing every couple of months will never bring success.

12 Jun 2026 09:16:40
So does this elevate your status to "ITK" or just improve your smug face. 😉🙄🤣🤣

12 Jun 2026 10:23:40
Smug face obviously, Fork. 😏

12 Jun 2026 10:36:36
👍🤣 MPH.

12 Jun 2026 17:02:13
Geesa change is another nightmare, unless we win league.

Imo, we should sign a manager for four seasons with absolutely no break clause by either side. This is what Cavanagh was trying to achieve.

11 Jun 2026 19:57:46
I may be amongst the minority but I'll be gutted if he goes i genuinely think with a full pre season we would have a much better season

11 Jun 2026 21:04:10
Me too. And, unfortunately, even if he stays now, the fans are all split again after seeming all together again.

11 Jun 2026 22:12:04
I wanted him gone after the season, but after a good few weeks, convinced myself he's the man for the job.

11 Jun 2026 22:45:18
I would be quite disappointed if he were to leave. Manager after manager feels like it's never ending at the moment.

12 Jun 2026 04:08:55
Kaiser, we weren't together. I was backing Rohl only because the owner did. I didn't want him in charge this season, and I said at the end of last season, 1 win in 4 games going for a title is criminal.

12 Jun 2026 06:12:59
If he goes, I will be glad to see the back of him. Not sure why anyone would think the fans were altogether regarding Rohl. Disastrous end to season meant he should have been chased out the door.

12 Jun 2026 08:23:37
Maybe not all wanting him, Storm, but like u say, majority were now backing him, even if just acceptance, and we were looking forwards. Now it's all split and division all over again, and probably will be most of the summer, as we all disagree over whoever is picked.

12 Jun 2026 08:29:57
If he goes, as seems likely, then we will only need to wait another 3-4 months before wee are discussing how much we hate the new one and want rid of him. So look on the positive side here. 😂

12 Jun 2026 08:41:51
I tend to agree that a pre season and recruitment with his input, Rohl could have become a success here. We will never know now.

12 Jun 2026 09:13:22
Is no one fed up with the rinse and repeat? They will get their 9 in a row, and maybe even that 10 the way we are going. It's friggin crazy and frustrating.

12 Jun 2026 12:57:26
Geesa, I have been for a long time now, but if we can't see past the 3 points is everything every game mentality, then we will never stop them. Draw in 1st game of next season will have the usual vitriol and fans saying they knew he wasn't any good, followed by poor tactics, poor subs and then not liking his press conferences.

Not only is the manager merry-go-round becoming boring, the same rhetoric from fans is as well.

12 Jun 2026 16:21:37
You do know there's other sports you can follow, Angus. 🙄😂

12 Jun 2026 17:44:13
Tiddlywinks 👀 It's all about getting your colours in the hole, bit like Rangers every few months. 😇

11 Jun 2026 18:59:52
What's everyone's thoughts on Will Still if Rohl goes? Just curious. Would seem to fit the 49ers model.

11 Jun 2026 19:08:52
Absolutely not.

11 Jun 2026 19:22:10
Will who?

11 Jun 2026 19:48:55
His chainsaws are hopeless.

11 Jun 2026 20:01:32
😂😂 Never change Fork.
