If the shortlist is the Talksport 5 I'm really concerned, after some of the exciting names mentioned Ancellotti is the only that I'd quite like and even he's a risk. The others I really don't want. Hopefully it's just more speculation nonsense and better is coming.
19 May 2025 08:04:20
Don't fret Kaiser the press are laughable.
19 May 2025 08:13:56
There are a few things to consider.
The names from the TalkSport list will have expressed an interest in the role.
They'd have ticked several of the boxes we were looking for, their agents would have entered dialogue with the recruitment team and they may even have spoken directly with the recruitment team.
However, from what I have heard, only one was formally interviewed.
Whilst these out of work managers are looking for new roles, it's in their interest to leak that they've spoken to Rangers - as it will trigger a reaction from any other roles they are applying for.
19 May 2025 08:14:23
TBH, I'm not sure how Talksport would know who we've spoken to.
19 May 2025 08:22:21
Correct EHL.
19 May 2025 08:43:32
Mark the process is how EHL has described it. Out of work manager's agent touting for jobs. even if they speak to us and we say no straight away they cans till claim to have talked to us. tell contacts in press that and all of a sudden you have a rumour. I think same things happen with players being touted.
19 May 2025 09:04:14
One thing for certain. We will get our man. Saying goodbye to Barry and Co states there will be success in our quest for a head coach. It's coming.
19 May 2025 09:01:31
Thanks guys I get it. Tend to pretty much ignore the speculation as majority are just that, but when talking down to final shortlists getting more concerned as time goes on.
19 May 2025 09:44:34
Well the process has been tighter than Ken Dodds wallet. It wouldn't surprise me to see a completely new name being announced. A shock appointment.
Still wondering what EHL alluded to when he said some fabulous exciting news that will please and news that will divide opinions. Any further on this EHL?

Colonel, yeah said the other day one was a player contract extension and one was the new head coach.
Time will tell which is the outstanding piece of business by the club and which is going to cause some noise.
19 May 2025 10:28:04
I'm expecting the new manager to be announced this week.
19 May 2025 11:20:30
Thinking the same Mark.
19 May 2025 11:34:21
Got to be a Raskin extension and then an unknown head coach appointment to divide. Maybe
Feel like no matter who is appointed then it's going to divide. So many Stevie G fanboys wanting him back and a lot who don't want him. Then those who don't want him are further divided by who they prefer and who they don't want.
19 May 2025 12:17:39
Tom lawrence or tav ehl, it's got to be.
19 May 2025 12:35:52
Mark r we near 21-23 May.
19 May 2025 13:13:19
Hearing whispers about both Balogun and Hagi re-signing. That would certainly cause noise EHL.
19 May 2025 17:12:13
Kaiser add Lawrence to your list.
