Good source from major shareholder Alex mcleish and Barry Ferguson will be in for wednesday, I have been told Alex mcleish was approached first and he has demanded a transfer budget of 8million and it has been approved as long as high earners are removed from club, I have also found out as I stated weeks ago that Frank de boer was contacted on the 6 th January with his representatives saying he would only come in June, as it would give him time to source players.
1.) 11 Feb 2017 18:21:30
Single fish
2.) 11 Feb 2017 18:31:09
So If McLeish n Ferguson in on Wednesday then De Boer coming in June why would McLeish need £8million when transfer window is shut 🤔🤔
3.) 11 Feb 2017 18:37:51
This sounds a bit far fetched! Macleish as a caretaker manager until the summer I can understand but why bring him and Ferguson in and then DeBoer in July and where is Macleish going to spend the £8m when the transfer window is closed!
4.) 11 Feb 2017 18:58:36
I can accept Mcleish in the short term but I would be majorly disappointed if he was the perm manager as I really don't think he's that good a manager
5.) 11 Feb 2017 19:26:31
Whoever comes in in the short term will probably have zero to spend. Job will be to get the best out of what we have available. I would imagine a high profile name will be announced for next season in order to sell season tickets. That seems to be the way the board works but saying that they must be applauded for the handling of the current situation!
6.) 11 Feb 2017 20:38:13
Nope never, de boer is on a break and Indeed he's not sourcing players.
7.) 11 Feb 2017 20:49:26
McLeish is a good Bear but a chequebook manager. He was a success for 51 etc because he had the £9M for Boumsong to more or less buy a whole new team. When he had no money he struggled and during points times were very dark under him - the only highlight one season was Chris Burke breaking through.
In short, if he's to get funds, he will be a safe pair of hands, otherwise I have reservations about him.
8.) 12 Feb 2017 18:08:02
Frank de boer has denied any contact. Mcleish would be interim if anything just now. Maybe confirmed permanent in the summer if he improves significantly the performance of the team. Can't see anything permanent just now in my opinion. Would much prefer de boer as I think he would have the contacts and the knowledge of some gems from holland. Wishful thinking maybe, but one can only hope.
9.) 12 Feb 2017 18:11:45
Eastmains 16, i take it that your source is saying mcleish and ferguson are now going to be the new longterm management team, as opposed to frank de boer? Especially as your source said mcleish has asked for 8million quid which was approved, and we all know we can't spend any money just now as the window is closed!
10.) 12 Feb 2017 20:46:04
Get Souness in at least till end of season this could maybe lead to investment via his mate (can't mind his name) But yeah Souness would bring a smile to my face. Other than that come summer and Warbs has got us 2nd THEN leaves my first choice would be Redknapp with Barry as assistant but I know that's prob not going to happen BUT Harry has loads of experience and contacts knows and UNDERSTANDS how big we are and I think would do the job for a nominal fee. SO in short my list in order of preference.
1.Redknapp
2.Souness, till end of season.
3.DeBoer, Wages could be an issue.
4.Gattuso
5.McLeish
Think it would be an idea to get McCann involved coaching and getting Hill involved coaching with Weir off!
11.) 12 Feb 2017 21:17:01
I think what East mains means is FDB was approached first to arrive in the summer but as events unfolded this week it was clear that we need to bring in a manager sooner than that, hence the approach to McLeish and Barry to become the new management team. The 8 million would be provided for the next window in the summer
12.) 12 Feb 2017 23:26:38
I would like somebody like a Tim Sherwood or A Franco Zola, I have no idea the availability of either or how much it would cost, but that's who I'd like
03 Feb 2017 17:39:19
Through my source in Qatar, frank de boer is top target at the end of the season, but McLeish and Alex Rae are in until the end of the season
Also Dick Advocaat has been approached by someone on the board on advice on this. Scouts, Murray Park etc, transfer policy.
1.) 03 Feb 2017 18:11:23
top man yourself, where are you getting all this info from, methinks its just wishful thinking on your part, never mind keep daydreaming one day it will all come true
2.) 03 Feb 2017 19:08:19
See if they hierarchy of our football club need to go and ask a former manager about transfer policies and scouting networks, i think we're already fooked.
The manager not knowing what he's doing just now is bad enough, i hope to god the board aren't in the same boat
3.) 03 Feb 2017 19:25:04
I don't know if it would ever happen but I always thought gattuso would do well for us not a great track record in management but I have a feeling he would feel at home with us just a thought
4.) 03 Feb 2017 19:51:02
Advocaats advice - spend 100mill
5.) 03 Feb 2017 20:16:50
Mcliesh would sort out our defence Hodson should start and young Bates given a chance at CB wae Hill or Senderos and does anyone else think Wilson would be a good choice for holding midfielder he is calm on the ball and can spot a pass
6.) 03 Feb 2017 20:42:49
The names being rumoured are either ex players or managers of Rangers - just waiting for Stuart McCall as the next one to be linked with us.
Mind top managers demand huge salaries and as a club we need massive investment for this to happen.
7.) 03 Feb 2017 21:03:48
Still doesn't top TOMUSA wanting souness back at the club in some form with John terry player manager, brilliant.
8.) 03 Feb 2017 21:20:37
I'd try Kiernan at DM. Je constantly gets drawn out wide to the ball. Not such a bad thing for a DM. I'd never give him another minute at CB though. We really need a new CB and DM but we can't solve that until summer. Totally agree Bates should be given a shot ðŸ‘.
9.) 03 Feb 2017 22:17:01
Bears. We've known since near enough the beginning of the season that 2nd was our goal whether we thought we would be a fair bit ahead of 3rd or we would be in a battle for it, I and most prob thought the prior. But we all then knew that we were going to drop points this season. I like Warbs and have supported him BUT its his team selection and formations that frustrate me. We do not have the money to throw around paying off a manager to bring in a mediocre one. Warbs will be here till end of season and if we finish 2nd which I think we will King must giv him some decent cash for transfers BUT I've got a feelin King has lost faith. We can only wait and see but I do not know who to bring in. If only Warbs would listen to supporters regarding players formation and even sub decisions which really are beyond me sometimes. We ALL loved Warbs and it hurts the way the relationship is goin. King must talk to us at end of season also think season tickets will be going up by £50 minimum!
10.) 04 Feb 2017 00:00:15
Told you months ago King is disenchanted with Warburton and has already decided he goes at the end of the season.
I'd sack him now!
King and Co have put £20 million in thus far and Warburton has had 4 times the budget available at Pittodrie or Tynecastle to work with.
He is a failure!
11.) 04 Feb 2017 03:27:23
We all care passionately about our team. When we get beat (or pumped) it's rubbish. Time for a moment of clarity. we are still 2nd in the league, European football in sight and still in the Scottish cup. Every team gets beat and I know it's the manner in which we lost is unacceptable but I'm hoping that it will reinvigorate our push for 2nd as it did last time.
Will MW be manager next season? Who knows. We can't afford to sack him and I (gonna get slaughtered for this) don't want another manager for 2 months.
Like any business a football club needs money to survive and we ain't got much. I'm so happy my teams still around to support so I thank our current board for that.
Oh, spare me the old chestnut of the playing staff budget. It is the second highest but who's second highest in the league? And, if it wasn't there would be just as many questions asked.
12.) 04 Feb 2017 03:28:43
Really Andy? I thought you guys were going for 55, sure I seen the banners? On another positive note only 4 more victories and a draw and you have done it. Remarkable.
13.) 04 Feb 2017 09:08:32
Rickwitteriksen
My reference to Stuart McCall was to highlight how ridiculous these rumours are with names of new managers linked to usðŸ‘
02 Feb 2017 21:22:28
Hi there talking to my contact who is a major shareholder in Qatar has said mark warbuton has the next Celtic game at parkhead March 12.. A win is a must according to him if not Alex mcleish and Alex Rae and are in til end of season with a end of season meeting regarding funds for next season if available they will stay... As I said its temporary pride to the club
1.) 02 Feb 2017 22:23:31
@eastmains16 - what a load of Colin Nish. The same Alex McLeish who's crashed and burned at every club after Birmingham City? The same Alex Rae who got the tin tack from St Mirren? We'd be better of with the Ther Krankies in charge!
2.) 02 Feb 2017 22:24:28
Not understanding the few people on here quoting a mcleish return. He inherited a great squad last time around, spent another 15 million before some hefty bosman wages on some big players, and a whole ton of non entities. He also suffered a few MW issues himself when it came to favourites (namouchi) .
This squads about 20 times worse than when he was in charge, i doubt he'd be the man to rescue and restore to former glories.
3.) 03 Feb 2017 07:45:49
I totally agree that's a temporary solution we need to make a statement of intent with a laudrup, dyche, frank de boer
4.) 03 Feb 2017 10:08:30
We have no cash we are reliant on season ticket money and soft loans we need fresh considerable investment to make any sort of statement
5.) 03 Feb 2017 15:27:42
Eastmains16,i know your only sharing with us what you've been told, and i for one appreciate that mate, as this is what this facility allows us to do, although some can't even take that on board! However, on to what you were told. I honestly don't think we can keep going back to former rangers manager's, if mark warburton were to lose his job! that's most certainly not the way forward! There's plenty of good managers out there who would be very good appointments for us!
Now i must be clear here, as i'm still 100% behind our current manager and we should ALL, only evaluate where we are, at the end of the season! I like mark warburton's philosophy on how he likes to play football, its just that we've not got the players to play his style at the moment!
I still rate warbs as a very good coach! If we do have to change there's a good few managers, i personally would like us to go for. Here's some of them, frank de boer, alan pardew, garry monk, chris coleman, david wagner, michael laudrup, gio van bronckhurst, nigel pearson, billy davies etc! I would prefer us to forward think if we do change warbs, not going back to alex mcleish, walter smith etc. They've had their time and did brilliantly well, for which i'm very thankful for!
6.) 03 Feb 2017 16:32:52
Mcleish and Rae in til end of season then frank de boer who has been contacted as my source has said its down to transfer kitty. De boer for me Aswel .
7.) 03 Feb 2017 16:07:33
I always like the way mcleish attacked celtic with pace and power always went for it with 3 up front against them would be a good stop gap till end of season and would certainly improve the fighting spirit in the team and play a formation that suits the players
8.) 03 Feb 2017 16:29:03
There is no way sean dyche is coming to Scotland to manage anyone although he'd be good, Chris haughton Brighton manager is decent gaffer, frank de boer, Alex Neil, alan pardew needs a job (although not keen on him)
Plenty a decent managers out there that'd be better than the dross we are enduring the now
9.) 03 Feb 2017 16:39:52
Eastmains 16, what about a david wagner, garry monk, alan pardew, nigel pearson, frank de boer, michael laudrup, billy davies, chris coleman etc?
10.) 03 Feb 2017 16:50:38
Honest to god, so if we get gubbed in the next few games it won't matter as long as we win at celtic park?
11.) 03 Feb 2017 16:59:12
I don't understand the McLeish thing as well and don't think people with little to no experience as a manager should come in either and I think the squad we have is a good one except defence!
if another manager comes in hopefully they like attacking football aswel but are not scared of changing tactics or formations
12.) 04 Feb 2017 03:44:03
Here is a serious question not point scoring. What is it going to take to stop Celtic?
Carrying on with MW means you are as good as Motherwell or Hearts on your day can give anyone a game maybe a cup but never winning the league.
Bring in a De Boer, why would he come with no money?
Even if he does developing youth will take years. With the expectation of winning now why would you bother to havev your repuration tarnished.
So what's it going to take? Personally I don't think you will challenge for the league for a quite considerable time.
04 Jan 2017 18:28:13
On game on nye a certain invester that wanted to buy the club but got turned back 3 times, now King and co have made contact with him for investment for the summer is Robert sarvar the Phoenix Suns owner . Bottom line is he wants full control. This could be a major deal if this was to happen, investment from America right away . This is from a shareholder who has admitted there are funds there but not funds to compete with Celtic.
1.) 04 Jan 2017 18:48:01
A wee Google search led me to this 2016 article:
"Phoenix Suns Franchise, Owner Robert Sarver Voted Worst in NBA.
ESPN’s Annual Ultimate Standings rank all 122 major North American sports franchises on a variety of standards. The Phoenix Suns finished last in the NBA, and 120th overall.
The rankings rip on the Phoenix Suns for everything – their best ranking is 98th overall in affordability. 98th out of 122 is only good compared to 120th.
Is this fair? I am obviously biased towards the Phoenix Suns, but these rankings seem overly harsh. Here are the categories, and the Suns rank (out of 122). "
2.) 04 Jan 2017 19:11:05
I looked into this serval times an thought ok he has went for us a few times then levante then real Mallorca, now this is the bit that turns me he put up his investment deal, how fast it would take to get this deal done, will the funds of wealth be for players and maintenance ect, I did find that out and it was a investment of 35 million for playing staff, debt free, no loans ect . His main objective is instant success with rewards ASAP. Only people blocking this is Dave King with his lies. Not Ashley who we know is a wasp annoying us . Take note bears because these Watford or Brentford players won't make us top dog again.
3.) 04 Jan 2017 19:55:12
Do you think the deal will go thur as u know the shareholder.
4.) 04 Jan 2017 20:11:48
Yes as the blue knights as we call them were a rescue plan to sell the club to the right man as the funds aren't there, blue Knights aren't our glory days returning, we all know that but one thing for sure is when the game on Saturday kicked off there were Robert sarvar watching it with his representatives . The investment is available for summer transfer window.
5.) 04 Jan 2017 20:28:36
Why is this conversation happening? He bought mallorca about a year ago and hasn't shown any signs of selling up so quick.
6.) 04 Jan 2017 20:44:10
No he bought it with a consortium of nba owners who also own Vancouver whitecaps football team also . If your contacts are that good put this question on to them a say why has Robert sarvars buds been thrown out, and the investment is there ready to go . Instant investment not loans we need to pay back investment, and I know there was a winter competion and pre season fixtures on table with Mls clubs.
7.) 04 Jan 2017 20:50:21
because its a wind up, he gotcha.
8.) 04 Jan 2017 20:58:35
King wants investors but doesn't want new owners bottom line, and the fact is there is a split in the boardroom over investment with 2 buyers who have the investors there, Brian Kennedy has been approached same thing with him also but souness slagging of King lately won't work, so we are down to the red bull investment or Robert sarvar with his instant plough of money . And words of David Robertson is Rangers will be big time players with in a summer.
9.) 04 Jan 2017 22:33:23
East mains how soon could this deal be announced.
10.) 04 Jan 2017 22:35:29
If only.
11.) 04 Jan 2017 22:10:21
Eastmains16, robert sarver now owns a spanish club mate! Say no more!
12.) 04 Jan 2017 23:08:42
I think if all checks are made, and all party's are happy including shareholders then April, there's a instance with Leeds United how keep changing owners and again they have sold majority of shares to a man who's in it for the money. Sarvar wants rangers to be a franchise over in America big time, and yes it will make him money Aswel in states but will make us money from states also to have available funds, i know one thing alistair Johnstone has been involved, pretty sure he has shares in Rangers Aswel again. As I said and this will be my last post on issue. We need the right men for the job on the field and that means we need the right men for immediate danger cash injection . . And one more thing was talking to micheal mols and he said frank de boer is holding out for Rangers job.
13.) 04 Jan 2017 23:13:44
Gon455 read all my posts he's leading a consortium not outright owner . Let me make it simple the offer has been put down.
14.) 04 Jan 2017 23:42:14
Aye and arthur numams going to fill in at lb till wallace back and imran ahmad as head of communications too.
15.) 05 Jan 2017 09:49:13
I fear that King would want to make a killing on his shares. So far there is little to suggest that he is likely to spend any of the promised $30m on players and the cynic in me says he only secured ownership to recoup some of his lost £20m from the Murray era.
16.) 05 Jan 2017 20:31:00
After the last 5 years letting Robert Sarver anywhere near our club could be a disaster!

Hi guys missed the game on rtv how did senderos get on today.
1.) 04 Feb 2017 19:48:50
Played solidly from what I hear.
01 Feb 2017 19:56:26
Kiernan is a disaster a believe people on here were supporting him. How many times
1.) 01 Feb 2017 20:05:17
Even if we get out of jail (again) tonight this can't be allowed to go on.
2.) 01 Feb 2017 20:09:34
He needs benched like McKay was earlier in the season. What must Senderos be thinking being behind him in the pecking order?
3.) 01 Feb 2017 21:16:23
Benched?! He needs shot!
28 Jan 2017 14:21:23
Toral looked tidy today very technical needs to get fitter but hyndman so much energy definitely motm... Kenny Miller absolute class
06 Feb 2017 21:57:01
Managers without contract are first in line and yes frank de boer is number 1, how he needs his reputation back in line he can go to mid table bottom end of epl and be in a scrap week in and out.
If he gets the Rangers job and there is investment of at least 15 million for the summer then he will be there and he won't be with Ronald, it will be Orlando trustfull, we have also understood in past 48 hours Big eck, Walter smith has pulled out maybe they have watched the horror show and doesn't want the grief.
now Barry Ferguson has stated to numerous close board members who he is close with the parks ect that he would act as a interm manager until end of season for a pride and honour for the fans.
03 Feb 2017 16:32:52
Mcleish and Rae in til end of season then frank de boer who has been contacted as my source has said its down to transfer kitty. De boer for me Aswel .
03 Feb 2017 16:28:19
Why can't people get in there thick skulls you need to invest to get something back out. We need to invest in a title contender team yes it might take 2 year to do it might take 1 but as soon as we get the champions league we get the money back, our players become more valuable, we sell we buy. So stop saying we need to work with a 5 year plan we need instant return when and if we invest in team and manager. Champions league football pays itself for a football club
03 Feb 2017 12:30:43
Scotsscotish you are right. Warbuton and weir are away if next game at pitodrie and parkhead are defeats. De boer is top of the list and he has been approached, but I heard mcleish and Alex Rae til end of season that's why no new contracts are offered to McKay, Miller and hill
03 Feb 2017 07:45:49
I totally agree that's a temporary solution we need to make a statement of intent with a laudrup, dyche, frank de boer
06 Feb 2017 22:16:27
Yes you might think am crackers but al tell you this senderos will be a rock for us and he will score at parkhead ., he is more of a leader than hill and when I watch him the more game time he gets and a run of games the better he will be, and maybe just maybe drag taveneir out and play hodson and play Danny Wilson as a defender midfielder and I reckon Wilson will be playing that role this Sunday. Here's hoping
05 Feb 2017 20:19:19
Does anyone think senderos will start against Morton
