Time for all of us to get real in our manager search, we just simply cannot afford the likes of Big Sam he is looking for £4M from Everton, Van Bronk. Why would he leave a team that is currently playing Champ. League football?
We seem to be struggling to agree with Aberdeen a comp. figure which in my opinion we should sort out ASAP for McInnes, as for Pardew and McLaren i can't see them even getting out of bed for anything less than £2M p/ a, Pardew would not like being paid significantly less than his pal Brenda!
McLaren may take less as a way back into British football but not for me, it is looking more and more like a McLeish with Murty as his assistant option, let's see but let's get real.

I like Bilic, always came across as really passionate and a proper football man, I thought he was destined for one of the top jobs in English football having taken west ham to a higher level, admittedly had a bad start to the season this year but I could see him doing a right good job for rangers. Think he might be the kind of guy who would be open to taking a bit of a cut in cash to get back in the game and restore his reputation with a platform to compete in Europe Rangers would offer him that, . Ps not going to run down McInnes but just feel bilic might have more potential and worth sounding out? Thoughts?

couldn't agree more mate and i also agree about McLeish with Murty. Both are very capable and would be a great combo

mcleish is a dud guys get real he was only that's succesfull here because of the team he was left by advocat and has done nothing of note since even the scotland job he was left big walter's side which he had beating the top teams and he left rangers in a mess and same with scotland he can't manage or build a team of his own. proven in jobs since then

Coop, I agree that some of our fans need to get real but, we are not struggling to agree compensation for Mcinnes at all mate, in fact we haven't started speaking with any manager yet, despite what we might be told by tinpot journalists in the media.
Rangers are taking their time to try to ensure they get the right man, Murty could be in charge for a decent chunk of the season. A short list is only being drawn just now.
If Rangers want Mcinnes, we will be getting him. Aberdeen are skidmark compared to us and they always will be. Do you really think Rangers won't stump up 800k compensation if that's what Aberdeen want? We had to pay 400k for Pedro.

Peds11 what do you have against MacLeish? He inherited a failing team from Advocaat, Martin O’Neill came in to celtic and started dominating us i'm sure we all remember the 6-2 defeat McLeish had to sell players and manage on a shoe string budget but still managed to win 7 trophies in 4 and a half years and was the first manager to get any Scottish club to the last 16 of th CL and if you check his net spend I think you’ll find he done all that on minus £10m or somewhere close to that give the man some credit🙄

Spot on highland bear. I don't know why the big man is being dismissed when people like McInnes, who spends his life capitulating against them and a corrupt individual such as Sam Allardyce are being lauded as saviour. As you say the team was failing under Advocaat before McLeish came in on a fraction of the budget and won 7 trophies in just over 4 years as well as take the club into the last 16 of the CL before them. He has walked the walk. Let's get him on now!

Highland bear, it's because peds11 is obsessed with wee Del and seems to have a death wish for our club.

like i said he would have to be a different kind of idiot not to win with the team he inherritted and can u remember some of his signings just google it if u can't they where terrible. and he got a winning side from advocat not a failing one mate.
he came in we where strong when he left we where 3rd in a two horse race so don't tell me he is the man to fix us when he can't even do that when we had a much much better side than now.
plus what has he done since then except get fired left right and centre he may have had a good run with us but this does not make him the man for the job.
i wasnt a fan of his back then and said he was ruining our club but it was too late by the time everyone else clocked on
