Anyone know if there's a press conference planned by the club with the new manager? Can't wait to hear his thoughts on today and get an idea of what he sees for the future.

I think the club will leave the press conference until tomorrow and that's the correct way imo. Today is Murty's day and rightly so. I know it was only a draw but it shows us that we're capable and not that far behind Celtic everyone is making out. Hope everyone has a great night.

The press conference of the unveiling of our new manager, pedro caixinha is tomorrow morning mate!

John1, it was only a draw, in an otherwise dead rubber of a game. 33pts tells you there is a massive gulf between the sides. Anyone can beat anyone else in a one off game, but over a season your club is still years behind. Enjoy your night celebrating a draw 😂.

Guys, can someone clarify the negativity we have towards Billy Davies as a viable option as the next Rangers manager?
Opinion seems to be split on him amongst gers fans.
Reading about his past as a manager his record is excellent. Reaching the play offs on the championship with 79 points each time of trying, winning the most manager of the month trophys in a single season, and achieving premier league promotion with Derby.
Articles I've read talk about "being difficult to work with" as he's a bit of a control freak and bullish. But isn't that something we could do with? Sounds a bit like souness or jock Wallace!
This isn't because he was a 'rangers man'. I ask purely as a credible option to what we need.
The McLeish era delivered some fantastic memories and trophies but I also remember how bad we actually were at times and going back to him I don't believe would improve us in the long term.
De Boer sounds great on paper but let's be realistic. If we got him it would cost a fortune that we don't have, and if he did achieve it, how long do you think he would hang around?
Unless I'm missing something the best option of the three mentioned would be Billy Davies.
Thoughts?

I have no doubt Davies is a decent manager but it's his off field carry on that worries me.
I'm sure I'm like every other Gets fan that's been getting pelters from mates at work over the past few years due to our predicament so I wouldn't readily welcome more due to our managers dodgy past.
I hate to give that crowd any credit what so ever but they have got their manager appointment right this time so we MUST get it right this time or we can forget getting anywhere near them for the next few years
If there's funds I would like to see a proper statement being made with the new manager
If the new head coach is someone like Barry Ferguson it will confirm to us all that we are in sh*t state and to start worrying

Fraser, good post and agree with what you say.
But what is the off field stuff everyone talks about?
It's mentioned all the time but no one every says exactly what the problem is with him.
He spoke in an interview with the daily record about it a year or two ago and he claims it's a whispering campaign against him. Two sides to every story, and I'm definitely not Billy Davies PR guy! Just trying to understand what I'm missing as he seems like the sensible choice when looking at our situation.

His personal life is a car crash!

I am a Celtic supporter. Reading the above post about Billy Davis. Rangers can bring young managers in from foreign leagues who have done well, same as Celtic did with Ronny Dalia. Until they take a Celtic or Rangers job, they have no idea of the pressures. Ronnie left after 2 years and he still didn't get it. I would do everything I could to get McInness from Aberdeen.
I am not trying to wind anyone up, and what has happened at Rangers with Whyte, Green, McCoist etc is criminal. King has misled the fans with promises of £30mill plus personal investment so all that's happening is that fans are being disappointed time and time again.
So here it is. Don't expect any major investment, it's not coming. £11mill in loans still to be paid back. No money for players of any quality, so Rangers fans that's the truth. You can dream of billionaires investing but this is the SPL, it's not happening. Billionaires buy EPL teams.
So the fans need to play their part by not shouting for a managers head when he is working with poor players. Yes worst Rangers team I have seen but worst Rangers players. It won't change till you bring your youth through or pick up a few young players with potential.

Hooly - no problem not taking him if that's the case but again, what is the personal life problems we hear about? I find it strange he's out of the game totally. He's clearly got it as a coach. So bizarre he's been out the game so long.
6.) 26 Feb 2017 13:27:25
Check out Tommy Sheridan, **** of the Earth and you will find Billy Davies name comes up in the commentary!
7.) 26 Feb 2017 16:38:57
I don't care that he's friendly with tommy sheridan! I know they're friendly as they come from the same neck of the woods! Its his ability to coach us that i'm interested in, and imo he without question has the ability to be our manager/ head coach! Without a doubt!
8.) 26 Feb 2017 16:54:09
Some of our supporters clearly have little ambition when they want one of life's failures like Davies in charge of Rangers! What is more they clearly don't understand that an Institution like Rangers FC that has seen itself degraded with creatures like Green and Whyte in control would be stooping to a new low in appointing Tommy Sheridan's buddy given all the stories that surfaced during the aforementioned's trial!

We'd also need to pay two salaries for a director of football and a coach so gives you an idea of the calibre we're probably looking at
