Who knows how to set up a poll? Who do you want as the next Rangers manager? I tried earlier but couldn't get it to work.☹️

Frank Lampard? Are you f**king serious. His teams are a mess. 

And no more Dutch managers please.

I'm more and more drawn to Muscat. Plays a high tempo style of football. Teams known for pressing well. Has won league titles in 2 countries. No nonsense straight talking Aussie. Has experience of what's expected in the British game. Recommended by big Ange. Speaks English.

All the others don't do it for me. I reckon Muscat is the kind of character to tell certain members of our squad some home truths. That's what we've needed for ages IMO.

Reading an interesting article on Muscat. Here are some highlights...

It’s not just the fact that he won it which makes it so impressive, but it is the way he went about it and the challenges he had to overcome that proves his credentials as a manager. Muscat’s Yokohama side played with flair and a high energy style reminiscent of the football Ange had them playing, while also putting his own stamp on the side as he refreshed the club with some smart recruitment to pull them out of their post-Postecoglou hangover.

Like with Ange, high energy football has always been a signature of Muscat’s teams. Playing against his Melbourne Victory side was always one of the most physically demanding games of the season. You knew it was going to happen, but the first 20 minutes still left you feeling like you’d been hit by a train. Through their aggression and pressing, they just suffocated you and before you knew it they were two or three goals ahead and the game was over.

I’m sure he will but I don’t think that the Rangers job is a job for a rookie

I guess they just need someone to pick a team and talk to the players over the next 2 fixtures. I don't think there is chance in he'll that Davis will get the job.

Not a chance it'll be Clarke.

 

More managers in the last 12 years than our previous history up until then. What a horrible statistic.

Interim managers do not count.

Steve Davis is a great professional. I trust him to do the job to the best of his abilities. 

I agree.

I'm just glad Beale is gone.  He should've been punted after the Celtc match.

 

Hopefully we have a permanent manager installed during the international break.  

His approach in that game against them was unforgivable. The whole world could see that MacGregor had too much space apart from MB. 

Steve Davis? Is this the same Steve Davis that was still around at the club despite being effectively retired? 🤔

He has been awful but in his defence (of sorts) the whole team has been awful. Whatever skill set he has, our team is simply not set up to get the best out of him. Same for Lammers. Same for Danilio. We simply don't create chances. 

I'm intrigued by the 2 additional votes stating Beale should stay. Could those posters please put their case forward as to why he should remain?

The players are clearly not playing for him.

I really don't get why people aren't agreeing that the board are making severe, dire errors? It's been obvious over many years now, even their appointment of DoFs is riddled with errors. They really need some consultation with experienced parties before appointing anyone else.

 

Personally I think the appointment of a new manager at this stage will just put a plaster over our problems and the plaster will come off again at the start of next season. I think we are missing much more than a new manager.

 

- We need a complete clear out of the squad, I thought this was happening during the off season but I was dismayed to realise that the same players that have failed year on year still make up the bulk of our first team for our games this season. A huge failure, and I still can't get my head around getting rid of Colek who was our most efficient striker.
 

- We need to re-establish what it means to be Rangers within our dressing room. How do we do that? I believe we absolutely need to revert this snobbery of overlooking the best Scottish talent. Beale should be sacked alone for his remarks about Scottish players not being good enough and then signing Dessers and Lammers. Not only are these players a long way from the required ability we need, they are a long way from understanding what Rangers are. We need to start bringing in the best Scottish players again, and maybe the best Scottish coaches.

 

I could rant all day actually, but I have to make scrambled eggs for my kids now.

 

 

Would signing Scottish talent, eg. Shankland and Nisbet, mean more goals? We are a team set up to not make chances. It's criminal. I'm done watching Tav continually hit those floating and aimless crosses to no one.

Get rid of the manager. Get rid of that god awful Tina Turner garbage. All remnants of 9 in a row should be assigned to our museum. We are far from Simply The Best. More annoyed than I was yesterday.

But we chased SG who had just won us the league.

SG left and was always going to leave.

They won't sack him but if they do they will appoint someone useless on the basis of being a "Rangers man".

How depressing 

Just now, Sutton_blows_goats said:

I’d be surprised if they sack him, they are as clueless about running a football club as he is at managing a team.

 

Clowns from board room to changing room.

He has to go.

It won’t matter if we change manager I doubt if even someone like Pep or Klopp could get a tune out of our players we’re up the creek without a paddle.

Of course they would. You're being silly now.

We found Colak (who did a fine job at Premiership level) and Sakala (who did a fine job at Premiership level) not good enough (raked in 7,5m), and brought in Lammers and Dessers for a combined 8,5m. We sent Hagi packing for no obvious reason whatsoever, after already letting Lowry out on loan.

 

Injuries were bound to happen, did happen and those we have left are not up to what is required, starting with the captain.

 

BTW, two of their goals were still a comedy of luck and errors. You don't get these very often.

 

Back in the day, Walter's Rangers were "hammered" 0-3 at Ibrox by Hibs (Ivan Sproule) and Hearts (Allan Johnston, methinks), so this comes close to that. Still, I would be surprised if Beale was still the manager by Monday.

By Monday? I would be surprised if he is still the manager after tonight.

Another title handed to our rivals. Pathetic. 

Maybe I'm stating the obvious but the players are playing like the don't believe in what they are doing and that comes down to the manager. Bye bye Mr Beale. Yer time is up.

Didn't they do this at the start of the season? I'm sure I've read about this before.

Rangers 2 Sheep 0
