Time for frank de Boer to be given the managers job for me

Mcinnes no can't beat the time
McLaren no way in earth
Big Sam con man
Pardew no thank you
Tommy Wright sh**e
Big eck heck

You no where am going way this so de boer record against the people is better than anyone at the moment

18 Nov 2017 23:06:52
Big Sam and Super Ally

18 Nov 2017 23:08:48
De Boer no more. That’s rhymes. Are you the cat in the hat 😂

19 Nov 2017 08:48:07
no super ally. he is a terrible manager

19 Nov 2017 13:52:25
de boer is pants! who wouldn’t have won the league when he was at ajax and his other 2 jobs put him somewhere in the region of the most unsuccessful manager in history!

18 Nov 2017 21:54:01
We are all asking and commenting on the new manager. Yes this is massively important and likely a new manager will want to bring his own players in. How can this be done given Mr King has slready stated that we need to sell to buy. are we really going to get BIG money for any of the current squad?
Surely this is not what a new manager wants to hear.

18 Nov 2017 22:36:43
Who realistically would bring in any decent money. Currently we have a team full of gutless imposters. Too many truly awful players. Hobson, Holt, Candeias, Wilson and Jack are average at best. Morelos tries but doesn’t look like a consistent scorer and Miller is now embarrassing himself on the park. We need a manager with experience and it shows how desperate the support has become that quite a few wanted Murty as manager. Hopefully that will have been put to bed now. TBH the club is a shambles top to bottom with no leadership on the park or in the boardroom. We have the dearest season tickets and the dearest replica however we are currently being cheated by the board and the players

18 Nov 2017 22:54:54
Sorry to say this but you have all been taken in by King. No money, he uses other people's money, and he is not a leader. Until he is deposed then we will never get anywhere.

Successful football teams have billionaires at the helm. We do not gave that.

Today was a disgrace, playing for 3 in a row, playing for 2nd place in the league, playing for Murty, playing at home.

18 Nov 2017 20:30:23
After seeing score come up today i called my 71 year old Dad who was standing in the cold waiting to get into the Subway. I only mention this to show how much our club means to so many people and all they want is to see a team worthy of the name, which we haven't had for too long now.
I believe the real problem is at the top of the club, Mr King. His lack of leadership is best summed up with his inability to take responsibility for the last two management appointments. Am sure you will remember his statement about how the board did the interviews and he let them choose, no real leader would not want to be party to this decision. Now is his time to show if he is in it to win or not?
I would like to give my view on what could work if Mr King gave it a chance. I know that is ironic giving my view above but am sure it would be suggested just saying what is wrong would have been challenged by others. This is my proposal for going forward, follow David Holmes lead and get a figure head boss.
I would go for Big Sam and as with the 1986 appointments i would get him someone with current knowledge of the Scottish game to work beside him. My choices would be No.2 Tommy Wright and No.3 Austin McPhee.
I would then hope Mr King would be the man to introduce them all and state, "These men are here for the next few years its all about building a club worthy of the name. We will not be buying anyone this window but instead give every signed player on our books until May to prove their worth. We will then back our new Manager in the summer window to have a team ready for the new season, when we will be going for title 55"
Now i know that all the above is unlikely but its what i would liked to see Mr King do to prove he really has the clubs best interest at heart? Please spare me any of the "Mr King etc saved us from the previous regime" my problem with all that is why didn't he do it before Whyte or Green got hold of the club? Show how much the club means to you Sir, show the 71 year old fans like my Dad standing in the cold November air its worth it and the men at the top do really want the same as them, "RFC back where it once was! ".

18 Nov 2017 20:49:22
I totally agree. Big Sam is an expert in relegation fights so he's spot on for your lot.

18 Nov 2017 20:55:01
Totally agree i was one of thousands who left today after 2nd goal. Performance simply not acceptable. We seem to just accept defeat now. I genuinely think king and board have not got a clue who to appoint even after 3 weeks. I think they thought murty till end season until today. Big sam ticks all the boxes from day 1. A hard man is needed. Afraid i am not sure we can afford him or the budget he would be looking for

18 Nov 2017 21:22:29
Great post we should push the boat out and go for someone like Big Sam instead of going for a risky appointment people saying we can’t afford him how do you know this and the money they pay for a risky appointment them have to pay him off if it doesn’t work could pay for a top manager look what Celtic did pushed the boat out for Brendan and look what he’s done for them transformed them without splashing mega amounts of money

18 Nov 2017 21:25:14
You’ve made quite a few points there but I’ve got to add that king and co did try to gain ownership of the club before but didn’t succeed due to previous share holders voting in the previous board

18 Nov 2017 22:38:25
Would also point out that the club were denied the chance for fresh investment due to McCoist not bothering to vote at the last AGM

18 Nov 2017 22:59:36
what right do we have to be top dogs we let to many people lead us up the garden path and not have a long term plan and we must think
about the 90 year old man that has stood at ibrox and never seen his team win there and he has folowed hamilton all his days he has
as much right to see his team be succseful

18 Nov 2017 20:23:16
Another disgraceful performance today from a squad of players who continue to shame themselves and the jersey they are not fit to wear. Not a one off so my comments are justified. Guy sitting behind me today hit the nail on the head and said - the whole team are a bunch of sh. bags. he is spot on. We need a hard man in asap time to knock a few heads together and get rid of the dross who are clearly not fit to wear the jersey

19 Nov 2017 08:50:43
we need a captain like Greig, Gough, Butcher. not Miller or Wallace.

18 Nov 2017 19:38:50
So, we still can't win 3 games in a row. Maybe that'll bring a sense of realism to those saying Murty should be given the job full time.

18 Nov 2017 19:31:10
To be honest guys I think whoever we get in as manger will do well to get anything out of these players they are dreadful. no passion or grit or roll your sleeves up to get a result once we’ve went behind.

18 Nov 2017 19:22:28
if mcinnes keeps up his results we won't have to pay comp they will pap him out the door as well absolute garbage

18 Nov 2017 19:10:44
Good to see ricksen and negri back at ibrox. Could only dream of a player of negris class again and ricksen it breaks my heart to see a hard man like him in his situation. No surrender fernando ricksen.

18 Nov 2017 18:52:41
An absolutely pathetic result today completely unacceptable, at home v Hamilton ridiculous poor very poor. I'm fed up of mediocre mistake ridden performances a bit toothless no sleeves rolled up fight about the team when we go behind from well payed players. I say again Hamilton at home not near good enough . Why o why are the board dragging there heels over a new manager they've had ample time to make a move for someone c'mon do your job and get it done.

18 Nov 2017 18:15:31
I'd give Billy Davies a chance at least until the end of the season despite the well-documented press he's had recently.

18 Nov 2017 18:31:42
No thanks

18 Nov 2017 18:40:58
Be a horrendous appointment if they give him it he’s not had a job in over 3 years shouldn’t be anywhere newar our club

18 Nov 2017 19:37:07
No way to billy Davis and we need a manager to come in and take control asap not someone just untill end of season.

18 Nov 2017 18:05:24
All those who wanted murty, you still think he's the answer?

18 Nov 2017 18:36:19
Yep 😁

18 Nov 2017 18:45:27
He’s remains more appealing to me than McInnes however that was a shockingly bad result today and a severe blow to his chances. I wasn’t at the game so maybe those who were could shed more info but the match stats show Rangers well on top but if your striker ain’t scoring what can you do?

Was this lack of prep on Murty’s part or team selection?

Or was this just yet another case of the players not performing?

18 Nov 2017 17:22:31
The board need to get their finger out

As to the 11 players on the park today hold your head in shame absolutely shocking performance today against the worse team in the league

We as fans are being short changed by players and the board

Anyone could see we were being over run in the middle of the park today

What has happened to morales?

18 Nov 2017 17:44:23
so overrun in midfield and we sub strikers for strikers then give nemane 5 minutes, anyone still want Murty?

18 Nov 2017 17:47:28
The board need to go, they don't who, who they want as manager no leadership

18 Nov 2017 17:51:46
Morales was our best player he needs someone with him I said at start of season we should have went for Moult what a front two that would make but he can't do it alone

18 Nov 2017 18:31:58
his name is Morelos.

18 Nov 2017 18:49:13
Absolutely agree mate, the non-signing of Moult has been a bigger mistake than anything that’s went on since Warburton left!

18 Nov 2017 19:01:39
Who cares what his name is he’s not producing the goods

18 Nov 2017 19:06:24
Listen guys n gals, I hate to say this but rangers are not going to be challenging in the next 5 years. I knew this would happen we moaned till pedro got sacked, now its the boards fault. In reality its craig whytes fault for putting us into administration, its a combination of bad decisions that have left us here. From being the best club in the world and in one moment left us on our knees. We have never recovered from it and its going to take forever to get better. The support will slowly start getting smaller at games and I think the board are aware of this. Come on we can't win 3 games in a row, hibs will win the league before us. What manager can come in and make a difference seriously, with no money and hardly any revenue streams not winning leagues, cups or competing in europe I don't see how any manager could do any different with the squad we have. i'm afraid it will be the same old keek at the agm on thursday, unless dave king sells us on black friday for a cheap price to some rich guy we are stuck in this mess for a long time.

18 Nov 2017 19:12:50
Big Sam and Barry.

18 Nov 2017 19:21:09
No thanks to Big Sam and I wouldn’t let Barry buy a seeason ticket he thought he was bigger than the club when he was there

18 Nov 2017 19:27:11
who is doing the business though JC mate? The list would be very small! Our home record is appalling, these players need to man up and if they can't deal with playing at such a big club, in front of such a big support then admit it and move on rather than picking up a wage they are definitely not earning. Morelos is only 20, least he looks like he cares when he plays. Its bad times if we have to hang our hat on just him for goals. The support and midfield are a joke. They all settle for being passengers, not one grabs the team or game by the balls.

18 Nov 2017 21:55:27
I agree with u snell mate . no ones doing the business from top of the board to the squad .

18 Nov 2017 17:05:49
I eat my words about Murty. The board must act now and get big Sam. Hibs and Aberdeen lose as well so opportunity missed and Moult gets both goals against the Sheep. Can this go on much longer?

18 Nov 2017 17:47:40
I've not said anything about who our new manager will be and I've honestly not got a clue.

I think Murty has done great with the youth team and it would be ashame to loose him altogether if he got the job and was sacked.

You can't blame him for today, we were pretty toothless. If we did go with Murty he'd need to be given time and forgiveness for making some mistakes as it would be his first managers job.

investing in a young inexperienced manager is not at this moment in time a risk we can afford to take.

18 Nov 2017 17:48:18
Big ŠäM, no thanks

18 Nov 2017 19:02:03
I have been totally bemused by almost all of the names mentioned for the managers job and have said so far that if we can’t go and get a Gio van Bronckhorst or similar top manager then we should stick with Murty.

That was a terrible result today but I wasn’t there so I can’t comment on the individual performances.

For me unless an outstanding candidate fancies the job then Murty will still be in charge on Friday and I will reserve judgement on him until then, if he goes with the same players that let him down so badly today and they fail then he’s back to youths 100%.

However, if he drops 4 or 5 and they turn in a performance then that’s all we can ask of the man.

If we had a new manager in place straight after Pedro got pumped and we won the first 2 and lost today we would say he’s still finding his feet.

Obviously another poor result on Friday and Murty is no longer an option.

18 Nov 2017 16:49:15
Guess we'll see how far down the road the board are with their " due diligence" on Monday.

18 Nov 2017 16:42:52
Hopefully this is the kick up the a*** the board need 2 finally sort out the managers job. were looking lyk a laughing stock. no ones going to come in and wave there magic wand and win the league but a bit of stability and we can start building a squad capable of challanging.

18 Nov 2017 10:14:29
So Chris Coleman is off to manage Sunderland so that's another one gone that I didn't fancy as our manager also, with Moyes at West Ham another escape. I still wouldn't rule out Murty being given a chance but with Aberdeen twice and Hibs and Septic away before the end of the year, I guess the board are thinking stick or twist.

18 Nov 2017 16:36:04
The way Sunderland go through managers he will probably be looking for a new job very soon.

He's not somebody I'd like to be our new manager. We've been waiting for a few weeks now and in all honesty I still can't think of anybody realistically that I really want to get the job. There have been a few names that I wouldn't object to but none that excite me.
I think that's more to do with the position the clubs in just now than anything else.
I just can't see us making major inroads in closing the gap between Celtic in the next couple of seasons.

18 Nov 2017 03:14:19
Whats the point of bringing in a so called big Name on wages that are OTT for him then not to have money to spend come Transfer Window which most of these Managers expect! I think guys like McInnes Wright O'Neil would be on wages that would be in our bracket. Financially Murty makes sense but in terms of experience he is a massive gamble.
If McInnes doesn't get it then I'd like to see big Tommy get the job. Plus it would mean that O'halloran might actually show what he can do in a Rangers Top! :D

18 Nov 2017 09:45:45
O'Halloran has already shown what he can do in a Rangers top. Nothing

18 Nov 2017 00:47:35
I watch every game, every preseer. What some are saying on the back of a couple of pressers about Murty is ridiculous. Warburton and Pedro were fine in the pressers. What is depressing me is to think that our support really think the presser and the way the manager come across really matters. Like Souness has said recently, its not tactics, formation or managers it the players that matter, you just need good players end of! We have good players that are only getting to know each other. Now come the end of the season and we are fairly successful, who would you congratulate, Warbuton, Pedro, Murty, new man, King, they all have investment in our current squad.
PS. Greeting like big baby at Children in need, i'm lucky to have two healthy kids and can't imagine what some parents and youngsters have to endure.
I would hope that there is some family out there that is going through a tough time and the Gers winning or loosing but giving 120% will lift their spirits. ATB.
