[Official] Rangers part company with Beale

[yuddie 1,693]

Mainly because I loved him as a player ha.

 

He's had success tbf though.

Shame it didn't work out i really like Beale. 

 

Off that list i would take Bielsa. 

 

Muskat feels a bit on the nose. You are looking for lightening to strike twice in the same spot.

Unkempt unshaved an ill fitting black coat and a plook on his face no that's not a Rangers manager 

[yuddie 1,693]

It's a shout not many will like and I get it tbf, but I wouldn't mind Wilder until the end of the season.

 

He's had promotions from the National League through to the Prem and his Sheff Utd team played great football under him.

 

On the proviso that it's a rolling contract.

 

Idk if it's an omen but apparently he was in the Rangers end at Hampden in February.

 

Not mad for it, but I'd take it. Have KT as part of the staff.

Every name that's mentioned fills me with terror. I suppose that's more an indication of where the club is at rather than the candidates themselves. It needs a giant like a Souness, Gerrard or Smith second time around to pick up the reigns.

They're the same names that get spouted for everything at the moment, bar Muscat, and that's just the usual ex player link. 

 

Lampard. Jesus wept, I'd rather have Murty back.

I do think we need a manager who will have the reputation to attract top players. Gerrard and Souness had players who were only there because of who was manager.

I think the leaks about Muscat, Potter and John Eustace indicate the board have been sounding people out. I just hope some of the people they have been sounding out are better quality than those.

 

The J League has 5 weeks left I hope Davis & co are not in place to keep the seat warm for Muscat..

 

Many will point to Ange and call it a lazy link but don't forget we have an investor / director with a presence in Japan and Asia who spoke publicly about connection's he has in Japan and South Korean football in Stuart Gibson.

I don't know if anyone saw the well dressed couple from the Far East before a recent match in a cordoned off area next to the pitch alongside Bisgrove and others?   Wondered what that was about.  Clearly very important guests getting special treatment.

[yuddie 1,693]

I know this is a bit of an old da gripe but I hope the next manager coming in bloods youngster's and plays with a core of Scottish players.

 

We're in a position, contrary to popular belief or at least imo, that we can because of how dominant we are (or should be) game to game.

 

Young players values aren't going to drop by playing them week to week and there is something about having a core group of Scottish (NI as well tbf) players in the dressing room - it's always been the way with Rangers up until Warburton and then Gerrard.

 

We need to get back to that.

 

Not fussed whether the manager has connections or is Scottish mind.

I'm pleased the board have acted, they should have done it a few weeks ago but at least this wasn't dragged out any longer. 

 

With his entire backroom team going too I don't think it was realistic to bring in an interim manager from outside the club. We've two big games coming up this week, having a temporary manager who doesn't know any of our players would simply create more chaos. Davis, while inexperienced at management level, at least knows the bulk of the squad well and will already have informed opinions on each of them. 

Davis might well prove to be a wonderful manager but I suspect this job has come to soon for him and that it is indeed a temporary appointment. If he excels in the coming weeks there might be a clamour for him to get the job until the end of the season, but I'll need some convincing that's wise. Davis was a wonderful player, my favourite of the 21st century, there's very little he's not achieved as a player, so he can speak with authority and should command respect in the dressing room. I'm happy to give him my full backing. 

 

I'm a little surprised at Rae coming in as his assistant. Do they know each other well? They didn't play together as far as I can tell. Rae's coaching career isn't stellar, it strikes me he's available, knows the club and won't cost too much. He does feel like an interim appointment by the club rather than who Davis asked for. 

I've no idea who I want as the permanent manager. I've seen various names bandied about, many of who I've never heard of and so can offer no opinion on. That there isn't a stand out candidate means whoever comes in will need to win over at least a section of the support. 
There's not an obvious Scottish manager, surely our first consideration. McInnes burnt his bridges last time, Martindale has to much baggage, the Aberdeen manager is inexperienced as well as being an ex-Celt and Naismith is also too inexperienced as well as polarising many in our support. Kettlewell is doing OK at Motherwell, but not so well he'd be considered for us. Stephen Robinson is doing well at St. Mirren again this season. He did well at Motherwell too. I can't imagine his is a name that will get many in our support excited, but we'd be remiss not look at his record and knowledge of the league we ultimately need to win. 

 

Beyond that I'm just hoping we don't go for someone like Lampard or a big name former English player, hoping lightning will strike twice. There is a big argument to go for experience this time. 

 

Rangers job is different from most in football. You're expected to win every match, that's not the case almost anywhere else. Not everyone is able to manage in those circumstances. I saw Brighton got hammered at the weekend, if that happened to Rangers we'd be demanding heads, despite the wonderful things the manager has achieved beforehand.
