PLG would have turned out a really good manager given the chance, its our demand for instant success that was the problem, he tried to turn around the culture of the club, dressing rooms full of fizzy drinks, pizza cakes etc - players out drinking etc. he wanted the players fit, committed and professional - if he had stayed he would have been successful.

Plg picked a fight with everyone who opposed him though didn't help himself although I feel he should've been giving more time and backing from Murray

now's the day, and now's the hour.time for the team to stand up and be counted we will see who are playing for new contracts and who's holding back trying no tae get injured so they can leave at the end of season tae a club at the right level for them (if it exists) we need leaders on the pitch men tae fight for cause.boys get out and get at em boys

really really hope mr king gets rid of current coaching staff and asap they have set in a deep rot into our club not one of them nos how to motivate a player and let's not even talk tactics, any young prospect we get will move on as current staff don't no how to nurture youth and bring them on, if mr king wants to keep putting bums on seats new manager or even temperary manager is only way forward, even with this crop of duds a bit of a tactition and self motivator could maybe just take us up this season via play offs

Believable5 Unbelievable1

My suggestion four months ago to bring back Walter Smith until the end of the season is, I think, the best alternative we have considering the latest statements by DK and the other members of the new board to "ca canny" for the present time. I think McDowalls suggestion to bring back AMCC will not even be considered seriously.

We all have our own ideas of what the solution should and it's good to see positive posts regarding the managerial position.

Walter Smith didn't have us playing any better he just had more money to waste than ally and Kenny. It's the fans fault most wouldn't accept mediocrity for a while in order to build a side they all wanted immediate success every year under dick eck plg Smith and ally.

Agree0 Disagree1

10 Mar 2015 11:03:20
There's no way McCoist will be allowed back. The board needs full houses from now until the end of the season and I think the fans would vote with their feet if we went down that road. Walter, the old stager, is the only option right now. The place would be packed to the rafters and he would demand performances from these players. If they can't respond to that, then there's something far wrong. What have we got to lose?

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Mar 2015 14:01:19
Walter had more money to waste? He won 3 in a row with a "waste of money team" he got to the Europa league final. He took a rangers (and scotland) team in decline and steadied the ship. He would do the exact same this time round

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Mar 2015 15:18:04
Good point l3mst3r.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Mar 2015 16:19:38
Exactly - he took a team in decline and steadied the ship. And he did it with the national team. Really, it's a no-brainer! Getting fed-up saying it. Maybe one more time - Walter, come on down! We need you!

Agree1 Disagree0

09 Mar 2015 20:44:20
I just hope to god Dave King doesn't bring back super sally as he is wanting to take us forward I think re appointing him takes us about 10 steps back, we need fresh ideas as anyone can see the coaches we have at present are not good enough. Get someone in till end of season that will go in and kick some backsides. No more old pals act RTID WATP

09 Mar 2015 20:36:49
Has anyone heard if our new board actually held talks with magath today?I wouldn't mind someone of the stature of walter smith coming in short term only until the end of the season as every 'gers fan on here agrees mcdowall has to be withdrawn now as manager and no return as manager for ally mccoist, walter most definitely will not be for the longterm as he's not what we need going forward to where we are regarding building, nurturing and coaching youth through, walter smith was never a manager who gave youth a chance so we will definitely need a modern style head coach who can work well with youth

Believable3 Unbelievable1

09 Mar 2015 21:11:53
If Walter worked under a technical director thigs maybe different

Agree0 Disagree3

09 Mar 2015 19:21:32
There are some crazy names being banded about for our new manager, we can not afford another £15,000 a week manager so I think we all need to forget about big names and big wages. Surely we have proof that model does not work. Paying almost double the salary of the winning SPL manager when we were in the 3rd and 2nd Divisions got us nowhere at all. Its time to put some real thought into it and get someone up and coming and hungry. i'd give the Manager and players for instance instead of £10,000 a week, I'd give them £2000 or £3000 basic, £2000 bonusfor a draw and £8000 bonus for a win, make them win for their over inflated salaries

Believable3 Unbelievable3

09 Mar 2015 20:03:10
There was a great opportunity to get Alex Noel in from Hamilton on a long term deal to rebuild the club, sad that he was available and we had the wrong board at that moment, he would have been the ideal young hungry guy with a knowledge of the game and a decent player too,

Agree0 Disagree2

09 Mar 2015 20:52:17
RMGers

Your model is exactly how the management should go about the contracts, if you are that good you will win won't you? Great well let's set your salary based on that.

Basic salary on a combination of Hearts and celtic's strategies, surely an executive like Gilligan can liase with the other clubs to assess the average salary that players are on at the top half of the SPFL?

We have zero chance of competing with England and the top 5 countries in Europe. Therefore we have to look at us basing our wage structure on youth development, bosmans and loan signings with the occasional signings from Scottish clubs or lesser rated countries in Europe. MacLean at Aberdeen and Allan at Hibs are prime examples of the players we will be in the market for.

KT

Agree2 Disagree0

09 Mar 2015 21:49:38
I agree 100%, we should be scouting some of the Scandinavian and Eastern Europe leagues as well. No player at Rangers should be on more than 10k p/w with the average salary of 5k p/w. We need to produce good youth players and to be honest players like Wilson, Ness, McCabe, MacLeod, Telfer and now Murdoch have all looked the business. We as fans need to be patient and allow these players to express themselves, accept that where we are just now we can't win every game however we can continue to get better game by game! The foundations are there with the right guidance, structure and targets we will be back

Agree1 Disagree0

09 Mar 2015 21:57:47
Op I would not give the players a bonus for a draw, not next season either, regardles of what league we are in, the only time they should get a bonus for a draw should be when playing on europe, maybe a small bonus for a high finish in top league, and a really large bonus for winning top league, as it could be afforded, ie with euro money to look forward to.

Agree1 Disagree0

09 Mar 2015 22:35:00
There was not much wrong with junior teams philosophy. Every team that I played with had a basic wage, money for training two nights, a win bonus, a goals scored bonus and most importantly a crowd bonus. Obviously time has moved on but the basics have not changed. Just imagine how many bonuses would have been paid to our current squad. To be successful you must have a high entertainment level, so on a level of one to ten, where would you rate our team. Personally, being generous, I would rate it at two.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Mar 2015 00:37:13

Just watched our caretaker manager wanting to reassemble the management team who have put us currently in 15th position in Scottish Football and third in the second their with the second largest wage bill by miles for the last three seasons. Does he not realise that they have failed miserably, probably the biggest failure in Scottish Football history and the biggest waste of resources ever £18 to £20 million in players wages alone yo win 2 part time leagues and finish 2nd or 3rd in the championship, aye right great idea Kenny, get Ally n Man back for more of the same. The most worrying part is this guy is in charge of our football club, God help us, his lack of interest shines through and talk about leading by example, he seems bored and going through the motions so how can he motivate anyone else?

Believable3 Unbelievable1

The 3 Stoogies must not be allowed to reform, we've had enough of the old pals act the return of all the old players keeping out the young up and coming lads we must look to the future and mcculloch can go as well he's the one trying these guys and he's possibly the worst player some games!

09 Mar 2015 19:41:31
We've got to look forward and not backward and these comments from McDowell don't help. Even Smith is quoted as saying McCoist wasn't given a real chance or words to that effect and I can't see how he wasn't. Okay turbulent times and change of CEOs but as OP says, a pretty good budget nonetheless for a squad of players. We ended up with a bunch of journeymen and ex players at the end of their careers and a risk averse policy to developing youth. No more thanks.

Agree1 Disagree0

09 Mar 2015 19:48:56
Yes gkk he is the "Manager" thankfully only the caretaker one, oh I see what you are getting at Mr King and the rest of the Directors are in charge of the parent company if that's what you mean by your question.

09 Mar 2015 22:07:09
Rm I think we could have bought the best youngsters in the top league, with the exception of the east end team, we could have offered them slighty more than they now Earn, guys like armstrong gms, and still save money in comparing to what we spend now, we could have got 4 youngsters for the wage we pay mcculloch, another 2 for what boyd earns 2 for millers wages etc.etc etc

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Mar 2015 22:12:39
Fed up with McDowall constantly telling everyone that he doesn't want the job. Only thing more annoying than this is his lack of ability. We need to jettison this clown asap if we are to have any chance in the play offs. Thought it would have been hard to find a manager even more inept than Ally but the board managed it

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Mar 2015 18:37:41
I don't really have a post ready at the moment but I was thinking if I suggest John Brown and Nacho Novo for manager it will stop jr coming up with at least 2 more to add to the 70 so far and get a reply from jr to boot.

I'm expecting a lot of critism here.
Super ally deserves the name given to him. Super.

We don't know the ins and outs of everything that went on behind the scenes.

As far as I'm concerned he kept us all together. Limited managerial ability maybe, however do not forget it was his 1st post.

No money to spend. HAD TO get promoted. Think wed still be closer if super ally was still there.
We can criticize his wages, signings all day long. But who knows what was said, and exactly what was happening behind.

He is one of our own, was and still is a legend.

Simple Noddy. The muppets in charge of our team don't recognise footballers nor do they give youth a chance. I agree he must be given a chance along with other youngsters. I'd only keep Bell, Wallace, Clark and Hutton of the current mob.

There does seem to be some thoughts amongst some fans that McKay is some sort of genius that would have changed our season but as I understand it he was put out on loan because his attitude wasn't right and was not interested in any defensive duties and this seems to have followed him to faith where the present manager has said he needs to improve his awareness during the game and he has been benched recently, sadly I think he will be another player to have unfulfilled promise

Agree3 Disagree0

09 Mar 2015 17:13:57
Gasparotto is the top youth for me personally with McKay not far behind. How McCulloch could be picked ahead of Gasparotto is a joke, the wages saving of 10k a week is just another nail in the Ally and Kenny comedy show.

He wants McCoist to return? ROFL. I assume he has no where to slide his tongue at the moment and needs Ally's ass to holster it for him again.

Cagliari have sacked Gianfranco Zola, anyone think he would fancy coming to Glasgow alongside a Brian Laudrup or Arthur Numan to make up our management team as I don't want an ex player as our manager but someone that knows our club to assist our new manager/coach. Only a thought!!

Dont tar everyone with the McCoist brush. There are ex-players out there that would make very good coaches/managers. I think McInnes would be a fantastic acquisition for our club. Can build competitive teams on a shoestring budget. Imagine what he could do with our resources.

Why would Ally quit doing something like gardening to take on a job he is not remotely qualified to do? You are clearly mad.

When I finish my current favourite passtime of watching paint dry I am going to watch some re-runs of Ally's teams' highlights from the last 2 years. I have them on a 1 hour video tape with a couple of Simpsons episodes.

I wouldn't mind Walter coming back however I would only like to see this in the short term (until the end of season). We've been there and we've done that and then he recommended McCoist for the managers role. Look what we got! Even in some articles today he states that McCoist didn't get a fair crack of the whip. Nah! He did and paid handsomely for it!

The plusses are that WS commands respect, is a great man manager and is tactically astute. but this is working with the dross that we have at the moment? Even WS may not want to tarnish his reputation by taking on this group of players.

Just dunno?

Agree1 Disagree0

09 Mar 2015 17:50:32
just remember this - Walter left and went to Everton, he wasn't able to spend big, and so he failed miserably there. He is a good manager, but he needs to be able to spend!!

Agree2 Disagree2

09 Mar 2015 18:03:47
I had a look on the Indiana Jones Whip Crackers and Lashing Society's Website and apparently you can become a 3rd Dan Black Belt Whip Cracker in 18 months.

So on that basis Ally had ample whip cracking tmie allowance.

Maybe if he had used a whip in training rather than a box of Gregg's Chocolate Eclairs we may have seen some football played.

I didn't meant to step on your Steven Pressley prediction of the other day that just dripped with insight and knowledge. Walter Smith has always been a good man manager. Just because of the Alan Gow situation does it make him otherwise.

09 Mar 2015 22:37:49
I would ask everyone this, if Walter "Bleeds Blue" and is a hero to many (absolutely he was to myself previously) how come he never came outright and told everyone what happened in the board room? My understanding is that hush money was paid and accepted. It broke my heart to have accept that he let us down at our time of need. No longer should we blindly call for him to come to our rescue, it's time for fresh enthusiasm and a new direction. Walter and Ally let us down BIG TIME!

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Mar 2015 22:37:55
Alrus blue although I would agree on walter smith come back to see if he can give the non tryers a lift, I read that mr smith strongly advised mccoist not to take the managers job, probably mr smith new the shit was about land, that's probably why mr smith stepped aside, I've just seen kenny mcdowell on the news bbc1 and the way he is talking it sounds like mccoist will be coming back.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Mar 2015 23:31:29

Fellow bears, after reading this morning that Ashley has told Newcastle that he would use us as a feeder club and that if we were both in Europe at the same time Newcastle would get preference therefore banning us from Europe. I think the new board should approach the sfa with a view to banning dual ownership in Scotland and make Ashley 's involvement illegal so he would have to sell up because I believe that he will use the European thing to hurt us as a way of throwing his toys out of the pram.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

09 Mar 2015 15:26:22
not so long ago on here people were castigating the sfa for daring to get involved with ashley and rangers and telling them to GTF because ashley was putting money into rangers and it was percieved that the sfa were harming the gers by questioning his motives and it was all about those bad outsiders kicking us when we are trying to get up,, nobody was bothering about illegal dual ownership when it was thought Ashleys money was going to put Rangers on a firm financial footing. in fact there were calls for how can the sfa stop a person buying any shares he wants to. but now its all . make it illegal and punish him for daring to make a fool out of all the bears. and again we want nothing to do with the corrupt cabal that is the sfa . that is until it suits us then it is all about When are the sfa going to do something. decisions have to be made Rangers either want to be a part of scottish football under the umbrella of the sfa or as some like to make out on here Rangers ARE scottish football. it can't be both or either just when it suits any given instance. at the moment Scottish football is poor but Rangers are also very poor ( in football terms) it is time to stop all the " we want revenge on all those who kicked us. we want appologies. we want retribution. if Rangers are to thrive once more then scottish football as a whole must thrive and that can only be done together

no daddyo not on the payrole ( wish I was) just fed up reading about they did this they did that, can't wait till we are back where we belong so we can show them . well we are not so great now and won't be for some time and as long as the " everybody hates us we don't care attitude" continues we will never be as we once were . some on here stating champions league football in 2 years. dream on. let's be realistic for once . this season has shown how far away Rangers are from being a force in Football. struggling against part timers and semi pros. yet with 2 or 3 new players some on here believe we will be world beaters oh sorry and a new manager,, yes we need these things but time is our biggest enemy and of course money;;;mr King has a lot of things to sort out outwith the playing staff and it all costs,, and there is no point having a winning team on the park that has exhausted most of your budget if there is no infrastructure and future planning in place to maintain it. it is not the EPL. win the SPFL premiership and you get circa £2 Million hardly a fortune in fact it would prob equate to 2 months players wages it is going to be longer than most on here think and as long as the vengence talk goes on the harder and longer it is going to be.

In my opinion there are only 2 names we should be thinking about. Short term, to settle the ship.

1. (should be) sir Walter smith.

2. Alex mcleish.

Both know what's needed. Standards been through it.

Might not bring the best football ever but getting things settled and results are what's needed now.

New manager/ coach for the new season. Cathro or mciness.

Though the streets be running narrow, . Say.

Believable3 Unbelievable1

Agree3 Disagree0

09 Mar 2015 14:08:52
Yes eithe is ideal for this but I see that role as being taken by Magath now as the board will want new ideas and a new face to inspire or order the undeperforming people is this squad which translates as all bar Murdoch and Hutton. Bell excused obviously.

09 Mar 2015 14:12:54
Rangers apparently went for Cathro in January. Going by this, it would have been the old board who were eyeing him up. Is he on the radar of the new regime, who knows. He is doing his apprenticeship at the moment, and as you say, it would certainly be a challenge. Listening to King on Friday, it is more of a coach he is after. I wonder if he gets the players to try and hit his archie with the ball.

Agree0 Disagree1

09 Mar 2015 16:12:45
WS would be an ideal short term fix, that is to give us a reasonable chance of promotion. It is a bit late this season to worry about giving more youngsters their chance. It is either promotion push or give up and start from scratch. That is the only reason I would see in bringing WS back.

09 Mar 2015 13:23:53
Agree Edward, they haven't been deployed properly, worth another go.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Mar 2015 13:55:04
The ones I would keep are;
Law (was good prior to coming to us - by no means a first team starter)
Hutton (can still develop)
Aird (can still develop)
Sheils (can do a job if given the chance)
Clark (not been given a chance)
Boyd (not been given the service but has let his fitness slip)

We've got to remember most of the players we have are ex-SPFL standard players. Its the coaching and fitness that has been lacking. let's be honest if you have a manager that's dropping his kegs for target practice - a player is hardly going to think they commend respect and in-turn the standards that the club demands. Ally was too interested in being one of the boys rather than a manager. McDowell - I really have no club what he has brought to the fold?

Agree1 Disagree0

09 Mar 2015 14:00:45
Keep Hutton that is it. Law and shiels can f off too much to say for themselves.

09 Mar 2015 14:59:47
Have to say am not sure about Clark, thought he would be one that would make a quicker impact and even though he is still young, I just wonder is he one of these players that never quite comes to light no matter how long you try with him. Just how I see it.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Mar 2015 15:46:23
joscro, clark has potential, our management can't use him though, top goalscorer in Scotland 2 seasons ago, he's only 23! if played in the correct way he would score 15-20 goals a season even In the top flight. another talent wasted by ally.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Mar 2015 16:43:36
Law is a coward, who hides when the tackles come in, Hutton has earned a wage for nowt for years, airs hasn't got the strength to cross a ball, play Clark as out n out striker,

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Mar 2015 16:58:30
Don't think Clark is good enough, nor Hutton, nor Aird. I'd keep Law and see how he goes under a new manager 'cos he started well and did a good job at Motherwell. In fact the only ones I would consider keeping, apart from Law, are Shiels (don't think he's been given a fair crack), Smith (useful utility player at left back or left midfield), and maybe Daly (don't think he's being used correctly - he needs wingers to hit the byline, not crosses from deep). Would have kept Miller had he been a couple of years younger.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Mar 2015 17:40:58
Clark has had a bit of game time recently and I can't say he impresses me. Never looks like scoring. Young at 23. there's a hatful of younger lads at hearts and hibs who are showing more desire and quality

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Mar 2015 18:07:21
Noddy: Agree well almost completely, spooky, Law should be kept, Clark should go, Shiels can always give us something and MAYBE keep Daly, although he hasn't done it this season.

Personally I would only keep McCulloch he has been outstanding paricularly in the manager's office the way he rose to fire home that pen on the 12k a week contract was simply stunning.

How I see it is we shouldn't rush to get a new manager. We need to find someone who is willing to take charge until the end of the season then go looking. Am not sure about walter by himself but there is another Rangers man out there who might just help, just to say he did manage his team at one point and that man is sir alex ferguson. Let him put on the badge and have 3 months in charge, in the past 4 years stranger things have happened. Maybe even walter in charge with sir alex number 2 as am sure sir alex owes him a favour from his time at Manchester United when sir alex needed him.

Good morning fellow Bears. Got my RST share certificate in the post today so what a good start to the week! Along with others who've posted, I think we must get McDowall out right now. A bit of a dilemma but why not let Smith and Magath run things until the end of the season and line up a new, younger manager for next season? I've a good feeling about the board with people like Gilligan and Park as directors. And before our green friends across the city start again about 'newco' rubbish, in 1994 they changed their trading company to a new name AND a new company number. The football club still existed but the company that ran it/owned it change. Ring a bell?

Believable5 Unbelievable0

Why Smith? Football's outdated was never good with youngsters, not what we need.

Agree3 Disagree2

09 Mar 2015 12:29:08
They changed their trading company name to The Celtic Football and Athletic Company Ltd which was registered as a Newco on 11 October 1994. They then changed it again to Celtic FC Ltd which was registered as Newco number 2 on 24 September 2001.At the time that HMRC decided to put us into Administration Celtic had Net Current Liabilities amounting to £32.6m i.e. debts they couldn't pay whilst we had won 3 titles and were heading for No.4 with £18m of manageable debt yet we were put into administration before they were forced to go into administration. It was also noted that John Reid resigned from his position as a Director in 3 Celtic Companies and his position within the Revenue and M.P. just after Rangers were put into administration.

Agree2 Disagree2

09 Mar 2015 13:41:32
Strange turn from the OP but. 1. Celtic have never been in admin/liquidated therefore renaming the parent company is perfectly acceptable and is not comparable to gers situation assuming your referring club/comp argument, 2. HMRC never put yous in admin it was Craig Whyte, 3. Re John Reid there is abso nothing wrong with resigning as a Director of company, there is however something in accepted rules suspending anyone who was a Director of a liqudated concern for a period of 5 years from assuming a Directors role; and that doesn't even begin to touch on a convicted tax evader.

I think mr king shd just alloW someone else to take up the role and start rebuilding your reputation rather than continuing with the victim charade. Show some humility and the road back will be quicker.

'Show some humility and the road back will be quicker.'

What a load of b******* MB, if the fans of the other club's involved can't stop having a dig, why should Rangers bow down to them. They are incapable of letting things lie. Maybe they should try and move on too. It will be all the sweeter in the long run though.

Agree2 Disagree1

09 Mar 2015 15:13:48
Keyser. I think the point am making is at the core of your reply. Most other fans merely want the rules to be applied and not bent over to accomodate one club no matter how big that club is. Your insinuation that people should let things lie exemplifies a widespread belief of a lot of gers fans that shd be allowed to flaunt the rules because its rangers; and there lies a need for humility. Accept the rules yous were part of formulating and abide by them and other supporters will accept yoyr club has dropped this victim mentality that mr green did so well to create.

For the record I delibrately mention 'most and alot' to show there are persons on both sides of this argument that just can't see the damage to both clubs. I also think Mr Greig being invited to the game could be the start of gers rebuilding purely in the act of inviting the man.

Yaaaaawwwn! You say black they say white. Grow up and move on people. Rangers will simply be whatever each individual wants them to be. However, the simple fact is there is still a Rangers playing out of Ibrox and if that's all you want then fine. This new company/club argument is an utterly futile argument with nobody willing to conceed any ground. I'm more interested in what kind of Rangers this is going to be. Show me a modern, progressive European club developing youth with entertaining football and sign me up. However, if it's just going to be the same living beyond their means, bitter fans with a bigoted songbook then you can keep it.

Mr King has already stated there will be some money for the football team. With the right man in charge along with a couple or three of good signings a mix of Bosmans and loan players, a little wheeling and dealing. I'm hopeful we can hit the road running next year. But, as I've said before, we need to change the manager now, bring in an interim until the end of the season. Otherwise I can see us even slip out of the play off places, or, at best, getting pumped again by Hibs over the 2 legs. WE NEED WALTER!! COME ON DOWN!

Papac was originally overlooked by Walter Smith when he took over from PLG. After two or three months Walter came out publicly and said he hadn't been fair on the lad and put him straight into the team. Great player and a nice lad as well.

Apparently Magath's already in town. I think you're right. McDowell will be gone by the end of the week. We need to act fast now and arrest the decline on the field. It's just getting steadily worse and I can see us slipping out of the play off places. It's so hard to stop the rot when it sets in.

McCoist played terrible football punt it up the park. McDowell is getting the players to keep it on the ground and he dropped Black, which is what most of us had been crying out for.

We should only make one signing - Hearts.

Save us looking around all summer add Shiels, Hutton, Law, Wallace, Murdoch, Clark and Bell we have a decent team plus Neilson be happy to be manager then.

Reading some of the platers Zaliukus. Law ect urging the fans to return ( nice one ) returning to Ibrox will be a no brainer now but the players now need to respond. I would ask Dave King to take John Greig into the dressing room before the game and say just ten words. Gentlemen this is what a Glasgow Rangers Legend looks like!

Just read there at a Newcastle board QnA the board told fans Rangers would become Newcastle feeder club and that Cashley would pick Newcastle over Rangers if both qualify for Europe. Can I say a resounding well done and thank you dave king because we now don't have to worry about these kind of things because they would be out voted out maneuvered and out gunned. So finally Mike ahsley you were told who you were dealing with but you never listened so here it is again.WE. ARE. THE. PEOPLE.
. WE. ARE.THE.PEOPLE.

I honestly think Ian Cathro will be brought in, with Magath coming in as director of football. King was quoted saying we need more of a coach, and that we need someone who can come in and develop the players and work with the youngster. Of all those in the frame, this clearly puts Cathro as front runner. He's worked wonders with younger players and is a cracking young coach. He will attract good quality youngster's who will want to be coached by him. Personally I hope this is the choice, as it would be nice to see the best young players in Scotland want to play for Rangers, rather than leaving us for the likes of DUUTD.

Would cathro want to leave a lovely place like Valencia a big club (granted he's only a number 2 but he is still young) to come back to the cesspit of the sphell

I noticed in the paper about Weir being linked as coach, and also on here suggestions of Warburton and Weir coming in.
I admit it does sound good as Brentford are doing well and he is getting the best out of his team.
My doubts are that there are suggestions from King and co That they will look for more of a coach and then a director of football.
The one thing with the director of football is that they pick players to buy etc.
it has been suggested about Magath coming in a director of football type role. Which he hasn't done before.
and the reason Warburton is leaving Brentford is that his chairman wants to do the 'Moneyball' idea where buying players is all based on stats. Also Brentford chairman has a company which sells player stats!
So Warburton is leaving as he won't have His own way with buying players.
so if magath is picking players, why would Warburton come to rangers?
Also Weir said he had been in Scotland long enough as his family are In Liverpool. Although Brentford is far from Liverpool too.
All hypothetical though, let's see who they get in. Most important decision in the club's recent history.

Hi fellow Bears. I've enjoyed the last 48 hours and reading the various posts. Here's how I feel now. I have lived in Sussex for the last 30 years but my passion for Rangers has never faded. I'm delighted that we have a Board in place now who are Rangers men through and through. I'm sure we'll get there in time. My priorities would be:
1. Pay off McDowall now and appoint a new coach/manager without further delay
2. Sort out the Ashley deals and move on
The rest will be resolved. A new coach/manager will spark a revival, I'm sure and having mulled over the candidates, Stuart McCall would be a good call at this time, maybe with Walter Smith as his mentor. I think we'll go up via the play-offs but King & co must act and deliver on what they've promised. We can consolidate in the SPL next season and then go from there. I'm in Glasgow in a few days time on business and I'll be visiting Ibrox to pay homage!
