They need help to find the next manager or there's every chance we will end up in another speculative experiment. I don't believe it's just a question of available finance either. I think we place too much emphasis on presumed technical experience & knowledge and not nearly enough on leadership qualities (OK, maybe Gerrard excepted) Expand They spoke to Graeme Souness about a return to the club which thankfully didn't materialise. However it was telling that Souness stated that there are far to many non football people making huge and largely incorrect decisions at top clubs including ours.

Expand Can’t disagree with the last part but genuinely can’t see what value souness would add to us. Would he tell us we needed to go out and sign half the england team? That might have worked for him but times have changes. Edited September 24, 2023 by Sutton_blows_goats 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The booing is OTT. I wanted him gone after Kilmarnock but when a Rangers manager can win in Europe and domestically in the space of 7 days it doesn’t matter how bad the performances were only the winning matters. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Isn’t that why clubs employ DoF’s/ Sporting directors? To take football decisions?

Expand My understanding is that they want to appoint a replacement. Maybe they can’t find the right person? I was also told MB doesn’t want another DoF to be appointed. Whether thats true or not I don’t know 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
