Official: Gio confirmed as Rangers manager

Any news on whether Defoe is moving with Gerrard?  Given he hasn't played and our striker play has regressed, that feels like a failed experiment and if we can  exit that deal, it would be good business.

When we read the accounts on Friday we didn't think that it would take the manager's departure to kick start the player trading model.

Biggest sale since Jelavic

I think moving of Defoe is the least of our worries at the moment.

With the DoF thing, I think it will depend on the person coming in being able to get the best out of players by using a similar system.

 

At work, the thought of a new boss is usually a bit daunting but sometimes they're better than the old one.  Time will tell on that front but I'd assume any new manager will be known for playing a similar way to the 433 system going on throughout the club (which makes someone like GvB likely but someone like Warnock far less likely).  That makes players less likely to leave because they don't like the style of play.

Apparently GvB played with wingers at Feyenoord in a 4-3-3, which worries me - we have one winger!

That would be an excellent plan if players didn't have emotions, loyalties and be prone to fits of pique in the face of change. Which is what always faces a new manager and this will be no different. The DoF and the incoming manager can choose to accept any dip in morale as merely part of the "model" but I think we all know what will happen back in the real world.

Yes, you are right with regards to morale etc.; it's inevitable.

 

I suppose my point was more in terms of the type of player we have, positionally and style-wise. A new manager should be able to slot in and use them.  So, I don't necessarily think a new manager will need to bring in someone "he can trust". If a new manager wanted to make wholesale changes like that, then he's not the right option.

Officially, he`s a registered player till summer 2022. Whatever he is actually doing remains to be seen.

 

Any word on who packed his bags along with SG?

Agreed.  It wasn't my first thought, but it did cross my mind.

Beale and McCallister, Scott Mason the first team analyst too.

 

I think we can expect the majority of his guys to move with him.

What about Knutsen of Bodo Glimt? Looks like he’s done an incredible job.

Sitting here looking at some of the comments of our former manager onsocial media and these mugs should be ashamed to call themselves Rangers fans in my opinion they are no better than the mob across the city .

I wonder if any of these guys got offered a job at a much bigger salary would they knock it back .
