As many know I have advocated sticking to the long term strategy at every turn.
Many in the media have fabricated stories over the last 2 weeks that has caused a lot of hostility.
People will say it is Media spin, club spin whatever.
About a month ago I said on here that 3 people had been spoken to about the managers job prior to the sacking of Martin.
2 out of the 3 became designated preferred options.
I reported on here of a split between cavanagh and Marathe as to the future direction.
Danny Rohl was 1st choice in summer but the club refused to pay the astronomical release clause.
During this search Danny Rohl was always the 1st choice of Cavanagh.
This was due to him aligning best with the long term strategy.
Marathe preferred a short term fix of a crowd pleasing option to help sway the support hence speaking to Muscat after Gerrard.
I firmly believe Danny will be a success and I am now a lot less confident of a result on Thursday than I was yesterday.
I think we will return to the top under Danny ???.

Hopefully two days is enough to get a grip of them before the match on thursday.
It could be a great fixture to set up a good start to his campaign as Rangers manager. Will be a tough game but I think Rangers have the players and now hopefully a manager capable of winning the tie.

Sorry Asa but if he was first choice in the summer when we know Failwell and Stewart were doing the hiring then why would he not be 1st choice now? It's clear we have ended up with our boards 3rd choice after the man himself withdrew his interest.
I absolutely hope you are right and he proves to be a huge success and my disappointment isn't aimed at Rohl either but the idiots at the steering wheel.
It also doesn't bode well when you state the 2 main people involved can't see eye to eye on the direction our club should be going in.

As i said he was always Cavanagh first choice.
Panel favoured short term thinking with Gerrard and Muscat to steady the ship.
Stewart and Thelwell are as easily dispensable as any manager.

The 2 you didn't want are crowd pleasing, but the one you wanted isn't? Personally think the other 2 were 1st 2nd choice because they know how to win titles, they know the league, they know the expectations of the fans, the pressure etc etc.
If they were crowd pleasers I honestly fear for our club going forward. What owners in the right mind would hire a manager to appease fans, instead of the right man for the job?

Sounds like your spinning a lot of plates there mate, how about to give it a risk and we can all just wish Danny the best of luck?

Muscat probably used the Rangers interest to double his salary in Shanghai. That thought keeps going through my mind. I hope we now have stability. Russell Martin was blue-murder.

A lot less confident of a result thursday? sorry don't understand that what has happened?

I'm more confident now of a result Thursday.

I'm believing your posts less and less nowadays asa, I don't think you really know what's going on at Ibrox at all.
