According to a media report the wages allegedly marco rose is wanting to be our new manager is astronomical and just not feasible guys ?We just wouldn't even contemplate giving any new manager £3.8million a year ?.
08 May 2025 17:12:00
So that rules your choice out then SWS or at least one of them! ?
Only jestin' mate. In all seriousness, I think the announcement will be made sooner rather than later.
08 May 2025 17:14:35
Paying a Manager over £3 million a year is a no go.
08 May 2025 17:23:19
2 million per season should be our budget. I'd also like a manager on a one year rolling contract.
08 May 2025 17:27:31
Score him off your list then Coops.
08 May 2025 17:48:27
Think he wanted a salary of £3.8 million per year to go to Egyptian Al-Ahly. Is this another news outlet saying he would want the same at Rangers as i'm confident no one from the outside knows any of this infromation.
08 May 2025 18:47:02
It is reportedly the salary he was on at Leipzig according to Yahoo sports (well named) . it doesn't mean that is what he wants here,
also not an expert but I imagine that there is a chat with his agent before we officially approach him. so if he said he wanted in that ball park and we couldtn afford it or didn't want to pay it we wouldn't have chatted to him officially, which has been claimed by 'the media' as well.

Lets not make the mistake we made with pc.
08 May 2025 20:06:41
Non story.
08 May 2025 20:24:13
I honestly think a Scottish manager who has respect and knows our league would be better than all these guys from Europe, Clement, GVB, Paul Le Guen, Caixinha, Beale all garbage even Gerrard one win out of 9 at home was not great. Best Rangers managers have been Scottish so to save money and pay a relatively low wage so money saved can go into the transfer kitty I would be happy to have Martindale, Alex Neil, Tony Docherty, Steve Clarke or McIness even though he turned us down. Even wee Barry and his sidekicks or Kevin Thompson. We have been down the foreign interesting, good reputation, type guys already with no success (Advocat was OK but he was given millions and maybe should have been better in Europe but I suppose we were robbed at least one year by dodgy refs) .
08 May 2025 20:45:19
Why would 3 or 4 million in wages be a problem for billionaires, unless it affects ffp does it?
08 May 2025 21:03:24
I'm told at this stage Rangers have not met Marco Rose.
The preferred option is employed and his team are still playing as season not done.
08 May 2025 21:24:58
Yes lithium effect that.
08 May 2025 21:39:50
It's not Rohl then John as his season is finished.
08 May 2025 22:00:59
Hi John Just a relatively new poster mate enjoy your input?
If preferred options team is still playing surely that rules out Danny Rohl?
I would love it to be Knutsen but can't see it whoever it is I'll be right behind them.
08 May 2025 22:02:24
We might not find out who our manager is for weeks yet.
08 May 2025 22:17:02
You could at least spell Ian Durrant's name right when you spout that rubbish.
08 May 2025 22:21:50
Let's just save some cash, settle for second every year and go for Martindale or McInnes etc then and stand still.
08 May 2025 22:29:06
And I knew Ruby. Fine lady.
08 May 2025 22:56:52
Angus1812 - I am the mother of Kevin Durant the baskeball player, jumping to conclusions my boy.
09 May 2025 02:08:26
Durantsmaw, maybe best sticking to basketball, if you don't know the difference between A-LEAGUE and SERIE A. There's something not right way any fan that wants barry ferguson after recent results, hmmm ?.
09 May 2025 05:19:01
John, i know you're not impressed with the manager's names you're led to believe are in the frame for the job mate but you say others on here will ?I would assume that the names you know to be in the frame, have been named on here by posters as their preferred candidate ?.
09 May 2025 05:44:14
BB4 you are correct with the ones that want Ferguson support another team ?.
09 May 2025 07:14:14
Trying to stay out the managerial debate, but wanted to clarify a couple things.
The recruitment consultants that were using would have established things like expected salaries and compensation fees early on in the process.
Therefore if any candidates were unaffordable they wouldn't have progressed.
Sometimes the MSM just needs to fill some column inches.
09 May 2025 08:03:49
So you are the mother of an American basketball player from Phoenix. not sure Wanda that if it was you your motivational speaking career will be that successful given what you say in your posts. However as an American born lady you do have a remarkable knowledge of Scottish managers so I am impressed.
09 May 2025 09:33:58
Stormtrooper, Angus, and Boyblue4 - Just because I want a Scottish manager and maybe Ferguson at that does not make me a Selik supporter, that was not very fair. As for my comments regarding Italy/ Martin Boyle I am a mere female football fan who can get things wrong, we can't all be perfect.
Angus also said my above post was rubbish, but it's my opinion nothing more, what is wrong about wanting a Scottish manager and why is it rubbish? Smith, Souness, McLeish, Wallace, Waddell were all pretty decent not sure why it's rubbish, it's just an opinion. Whatever managers you come up with I will respect and that is something lacking in here by the looks of things.
09 May 2025 09:44:32
I also would look at Fergie because he beat them in their own backyard, unlucky to beat them at home with a goal marginally offside, got us into Quarter finals in Europe and actually got a decent home result against Athletic Club he is just in the door and boyblue4.
What is it that's not right about giving Fergie a chance after the above results? I could easily argue what is right about bringing in another foreign manager who knows nothing about our league or our history? As I said, I will respect your opinion and not slag you off. All I ask is the same in return.
09 May 2025 11:21:14
The only successful foreign manager we had was Advocaat and he had millions to spend. Every other foreign manager we had was a failure. We have had more success with Scottish Managers than any other. So there is nothing wrong with wanting a Scottish manager. I have my doubts about another foreign manager.
09 May 2025 11:55:44
Just because people have different opinions does mean they are tims. That's pathetic. let's face it, people backed PC, Beale, Pedro, Warbs etc. Does that make them tims because they backed someone who turned out to be a failure?
Strom you backed PC when people were starting to call him out, does that make you a tim?
Both Angus and Mystar were very vocal about how successful PC would be. Does that make them tims?
Fergie has inherited a shambles of a squad. How does anyone know that without time and his own player, Fergie wouldn't be a success?
At least Fergie has the balls to call these players out instead of making excuses.
Only Raskin and Igamane are of the quality of starting 11 players, maybe Dio if he is more consistent. The rest are squad players at best.
Fergie is not a miracle worker, even though he worked miracles at Celtic park and against Fenerbache.
This squad of players are an absolute joke.
It amazes me how Koppen is still in a job.
09 May 2025 13:53:52
Durantsmaw, people have opinions that the earth is flat, should they be respected as well? Barry ferguson for manager is in the same league as that.
{Ed033's Note - Yes, people who have the opinion that the Earth is not a 7926 miles in diameter, spinning globe (i.e. non rotating and flat) should be respected. :)
09 May 2025 15:05:18
Cathkin Loyal - So many thanks for going out on a limb for me, that is pure really appreciated so much. Can I also say as a woman supporter and a pure bluenose, I would like a guy with a bit of sexiness and a bit of charisma and you canny beat a Scotsman, and don't laugh, but Martindale ticks the boxes, been in the pokey, doesn't take any pish, probably can hod his drink, and a pure bluenose like me.
He also knows a bit about football for me my dream Rangers management team would be big Dunc, John Brown, Davie Martindale and Davie Weir. And McGregor to take control of the goalkeeping fiasco we have right now. Stop all this garbage about foreign coaches it doesn't work at Rangers .our team is unique it needs passion, knowledge and good auld Scottish bluenose know it all.
09 May 2025 15:24:59
I can't defend the sexiness and charisma description of Martindale, you're going to have to fight that battle alone??.
09 May 2025 15:27:20
Must admit i do agree with that. lol.
09 May 2025 15:18:31
Wee Boy blue 4, name your choice for manager and be realistic.
09 May 2025 16:42:48
You can't name Scottish managers who were successful in the 80s and 90s and claim this as an argument for having a Scottish manager today as following that logic. so Neil McInnes, Martindale etc have done nothing to show they are up to the calibre of what we would expect as a manager. If there is a manager who is Scottish and has that record then I would back it all day long.
@durant I didn't call you a Tim but said that you could spell the name right, although I didn't actually realise you were Wanda Durant at that time ?
BTW I still think given time and backing that Clement couldn't have succeeded but we are past that. however whoever gets the job will need longer than the 6 games they get before fans get on their back. as to me being a Celtic fan I will leave it to others to read my posting history to make that decision. as always I am comfortable with being a Ger and don't need others to reaffirm that.
09 May 2025 16:34:36
Really Ed?
Durantsmaw anybody but ferguson, it's that simple. Love how you greet bout respect, then proceed to call me wee Boy blue 4. Maybe practice what you preach?
{Ed033's Note - Yes, really.
