forlanssister 3,114 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Roddy Forsyth is usually more reliable than the rest of the pack...... Steven Gerrard will be the next Rangers manager... providing three issues are resolved Rangers wants Steven Gerrard to be their next manager CREDIT: GETTY IMAGES Roddy Forsyth, scottish football correspondent 28 APRIL 2018 • 11:27PM Steven Gerrard will be the next Rangers manager, providing three issues – so far unspecified – are resolved between the former England and Liverpool midfielder and the Ibrox board. The Sunday Telegraph can disclose, however, that spending on players is not one of the outstanding matters and that Gerrard has been assured that he can make a case-by-case argument for cash to be released for preferred transfer targets. The same arrangement permitted Mark Warburton to sign Joey Barton on exceptional terms and also for Pedro Caixinha, during his brief reign, to bring Carlos Pena and Bruno Alves to Ibrox for wages that were cited as necessary to add exceptional strength to the playing squad. Gary McAllister, the former Leeds United, Liverpool and Scotland midfielder – who managed Coventry City, Leeds and, in a caretaker capacity, Aston Villa – will move to Ibrox as Gerrard’s assistant if the remaining issues are settled. The agreement in principle with Gerrard is a further blow to Graeme Murty, now in his second spell as interim Rangers manager. On Sunday, Murty leads Rangers into the cauldron of an Old Firm derby at Parkhead, in which a Celtic win will assure the Scottish champions of a seventh successive Scottish title. Graeme Murty's days as Rangers boss look numbered CREDIT: GETTY IMAGES Murty, who had been told by the Rangers board that he would be in charge until the end of the season and would be considered for a longer-term appointment on merit, declared defiantly on Friday that if he saw the team to second place in the Scottish Premiership he would have fulfilled his job remit. Aberdeen’s home win against Hearts on Friday pushed Rangers into third place, a situation not likely to be altered on Sunday. Moreover, Rangers’ pursuit of Gerrard has effectively put Murty on notice ahead of a supercharged Old Firm derby, only two weeks after Celtic crushed their arch-foes in the William Hill Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden Park. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aweebluesoandso 290 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Looks like we will be getting Gary McAllister too, one of them would be good enough for me, but two men of quality, buzzing is the word i am. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
