The Rangers Winter 2025 Transfer Rumours and Deals - Thread

[der Berliner 3,860]

We've rotated more managers in the last decade than during the previous 100 years. One of the bigger mistakes were that we handed so many people the job and gave them time to build their own version, that we lost the leagues (refereeing interference aside) during their trainee period time and again. You might blame all the managers in person, but they usually dragged a whole bunch of people to our club, all with football brains (you would have hoped), yet none came up with a pragmatic approach to the realities in Scotland. How can these 4 or more people in every managing staff time and again fail in spotting the obvious? If I were the CEO (with not that big a football brain), I'd get some football experts around me, have their opinion, and then ask the manager what he thinks needs to change. If this approach is not in line to the realities and other opinions, I'd think about someone doing it better. Clement got a contract till 2028, so was obviously earmarked for a transition process. A horrific injury record sure didn't help, but no matter who was available, we toil along with no change in the approach, half a handful of games aside. So, where's the transition?

 

You come to a point where you ask yourself that whomever we may sign in January is essentially irrelevant, as long as we don't adapt the system in a way we should.

We did get footballing people involved when hiring Clement but the board chose not to listen to their opinion. 

 

By admitting in July that we weren't going to win the league, we gave the players and manager a ready made excuse, and it's an excuse some fans are clinging to.

 

God help us if Clement remains in charge until 2028.

But did the same people (person) not admit their opinion of Clement was wrong?

No, they said they were impressed with Clement, but were more impressed with the 2 other candidates. 

 

The point is, there is no point in hiring/involving football people.if you arent going to listen to them.

 

However, the is no guarantee that if we'd gone with Lampard or Muscat that things would wlhave turned out differently. 

 

Edit - if you mean after the fact, then yes he did say they were impressed with Clement.

Hope not. We’ve just one fit CB

I'd imagine the Kasan loan may end due to his injury so that may allow us to replace him with another defender.

A recall from loan for the silky Ben Davies from Birmingham? 🙄
