Ongoing new manager discussion and speculation


Recommended Posts

Maybe Rangers weren't willing to allow him to bring his number 2 with him?

 

I very much doubt we'd be that petty but, again, six weeks down the line I'd like to think we'd know McInnes' thoughts on that before asking him to come to us.

We have saved 2 months worth of wages on Pedro and his backroom team plus 1 million on compensation to McInnes... and have also leap-frogged them into 2nd place in the league. We aren't doing too badly out of it financially :roflmao:

 

We've left it a bit late to plant the Owen Coyle to Ibrox story ahead of Saturday... ;)

If that was to be the case, then the boards handling of this is incomprehensible.

 

Docherty has been with McInnnes as No.2 for his entire 10 years in management.

 

Did they expect him to say he was ok with not bringing TD ?.........not going to happen.

 

Did they expect McInnes to perform as good or better without his No.2 ?

There's a tale here, but will we ever get to hear the truth of it? Going forward the board need to pull a big Rabbit out the hat or settle with Murty and JJ.

 

As long as it doesn't drag on, it's getting oan my tits.

 

We ain't getting no 'big' rabbit and Murty isn't the man longterm.

Don't really believe it myself, but was just offering it a possibility.

THERE has been a great deal of media speculation regarding the appointment of a new manager. We assure all supporters that they will be the first to know when we are certain we have someone with the correct qualities required by our club.

 

The Chairman made it clear at the AGM that the club did not consider there to be an outstanding candidate among those who had applied for the position and the club was therefore considering managers currently under contract. This requires permission from their present clubs.

 

The position of Rangers manager requires an ability to win football matches and the mentality to cope with the demanding off-pitch environment that goes with being the Rangers manager. This is a critical aspect of our assessment of any candidate during the interview process.

 

After the two games against Aberdeen, we requested permission to engage with their manager to assess his readiness and willingness to consider the Rangers position. This was declined. We were subsequently made aware by Aberdeen’s statement that, at this stage in his career, it would be best for him to remain in his current post. We endorse that position because moving to a massive club like Rangers is a big step with concomitant risk. We continue to consider candidates but will only appoint someone in whom we have full confidence and who feels he is ready for the job.

 

In the meantime, we have great confidence in Graeme Murty, who will continue as interim manager at least until the end of the year. The manner in which he has approached this task is a credit to himself and the club.
