Rangers banter 10

{Ed's Note - WhyAreYouSoGoodBrian has posted a new article entitled, Glasgow Rangers Missed The Moment With Steven Gerrard

13 Oct 2025 10:08:35
I don't know why SG did a 180 but are you honestly saying that our owners promised him to be the manager with free reign over spending and signings for them to then flip it and say sorry Thelwell won't go along with that. if they were so determined to get SG in then they would have just told thelwell that's the way its going.

things happen, i was head hunted in the past, spent 4 long months in negotiations, looked at the final package and turned it down on the day they asked me to sign the contract. why, after speaking to my family, weighing up all the pros and cons, decided nah not for me.

Not everything is black and white, not everything has a sinister reason either. he didn't want the job 2 months ago and decided he doesn't now. maybe he hoped Rangers could be persuaded to up their offerings and Rangers said no, who knows. only the guys that were in the room know.

Gerard is not the messiah get Lampard or John Terry we need someone like Souness! Show me your medals - the perfect pitch to the current team!

13 Oct 2025 02:04:09
Question for stromtrooper. Unless I've missed it somewhere mate. Who would your ideal choice be out of the names we're currently linked with? A know u were not keen on Gerrard returning as most myself included were.

13 Oct 2025 05:46:10
We should sign adolf hutter

Just think of the songs lol.

13 Oct 2025 08:49:52
Franco it always has been since SG left the 1st time Knutsen I have been open about that. Would we get him I very much doubt but that's who I have wanted.

13 Oct 2025 09:43:22
You keep mentioning Knutsen even though you know fine well that he doesn't want to come. Yet any time someone mentioned Lennon Miller you shut them down with the reason you keep saying Knutsen. Funny that🤦‍♂️.

13 Oct 2025 11:04:47
How is that funny, he knows miller's family personally, knutsen I'd like also, what's up with that? For a 0-0 poster just on n trying to bait, away n raffle.

13 Oct 2025 19:23:29
Aye mate knutsen would be sensational if it were possible.

13 Oct 2025 01:50:29
Leicester wanted Rohl is the summer, just seen it, but the Sheffield Wednesday chairman wanted 5m.

13 Oct 2025 03:23:27
Had a £2.5 million buyout clause in his contract apparently.

13 Oct 2025 08:40:15
There was £5m clause that got negotiated down to £1m.

13 Oct 2025 08:50:01
Rfc, Couldn't have had mate, chairman wanted 5m for him.

13 Oct 2025 08:50:31
I have read 5 million but out clause and 2.5 million buy out clause so who knows what's correct.

13 Oct 2025 08:50:44
Leicester wanted Martin Also.

13 Oct 2025 09:11:08
Cool True, I just see he wanted 5m for him or wasn't going, crackpot of a chairman by the sounds of it, then he resigned a few weeks later mate, the more I'm reading and listening too his ex club fans and his ex players it getting very interesting and maybe that is the man we do need, same with getting a little info from the Ed, my only worry with Rohl isn't about him doing a good job, it's more about our own fans, which is rather sad.

13 Oct 2025 09:11:25
Wolfsburg also wanted him but Chansiri wanted too much so they moved on.

13 Oct 2025 09:13:26
They can have him now Storm, for nowt.

13 Oct 2025 00:02:29
Didn't watch the Scotland game but going by the reports I think that when he retires from the National team and returns to league football it's a walking football club.

13 Oct 2025 08:45:49
You didn't miss much.

13 Oct 2025 09:14:53
Looked very much like a team that just needed to get 3 points, which they did, just.
Basically beat Denmark at home and win the group .

13 Oct 2025 09:15:48
Didnt watch the game. But seen some results this morning. Faroe islands pulling off some results for population of capacity of ibrox.

13 Oct 2025 12:11:58
Beat Denmark at home we lose group on goal difference, we need some points from Greeks.

12 Oct 2025 23:02:48
I hope Rohl gets the job. The more you read about him the more appealing he is.
Been is some big positions in the past Like Leizpeg, Bayern and German National team. So he'd hopefully have good connections

Went to Wednesday and worked a miracle keeping them up even got mid table when they were rock bottom and heading down he turned them around with no funds or players.

He's happy to change tactics game to game and his football was exciting Watch. Yeah they let in goals and the win percentage isn't the highest but Wednesday were the worst team in the league. Obviously not a yes man or he'd of stayed at his job and I'd say He is the exact opposite of Martin. I'd back him that's for sure.

12 Oct 2025 23:40:10
I agree Polar . Fans were excited about Ancellotti Jr due to his having been a coach at big clubs . Rohl has too as well as being his own man at SW … I don't pay too much attention to win % as they don't take in the circumstances.

12 Oct 2025 23:54:28
Would rather take Steven Robinson than Rohl, not really jumping for joy with any of the managers that's been mentioned to be fair but Rohl is way down the list.

13 Oct 2025 00:03:19
The more I read the more he's the man for me.

4th lowest budget in the championship the season he got 12th.

Took over with them rock bottom of the league, 2 points from 12 games survived with a game to spare.

Adaptable, pragmatic, good man manager and tactically astute. Humble as well. Adored by the Wednesday fans even after walking away from them.

12 Oct 2025 22:47:37
Having thought long and hard, my choice for manager would now land with MCINNES.

12 Oct 2025 23:41:37
I agree, go get him now.

12 Oct 2025 23:53:58
He's the closest in ticking of the same boxes to Gerrard and he was my 1st choice.

Although this is only cause I don't believe that we're really in for McKenna

He would be my top choice if we had a realistic shot at him whicj we obviously don't if we couldn't give Gerrard what he wanted.

13 Oct 2025 01:20:17
I'm the same Stevie, with the names being mentioned he's the one I feel could get us winning games and challenging.

13 Oct 2025 05:07:54
Stevie G, i rate kieran mckenna but hand on heart mate to what i've read from people in the game i truly think danny rohl will go on to be an even better head coach than him 🤔 So if it was just between danny rohl V kieran mckenna to see who was our new head coach, i'd choose danny rohl my friend 🤔.

13 Oct 2025 07:10:45
Mcinnes will not leave hearts mid season.

13 Oct 2025 08:52:40
Delboy turned us down and once before and I believe he will do again if we went for him.

13 Oct 2025 09:18:14
Treble Mciness wage, that definitely makes him think.

13 Oct 2025 09:52:15
Same storm, he's in a good moment just now, hearts fans like him, his team top of the pile, with fantastic investor such as bloom from Brighton, hearts are on the up and the club itself in a fantastic place. Why would you leave that? And he would become the messiah if hearts were to go on and do the near on impossible and win the league. Unfortunately for us we are in disarray, hawdit and dawdit pulling the strings, our owners over the pond really not in touch with how big an institution we are, we have turned into the man united of Scottish football. Unfortunately the saga continues. There doesn't seem to be one outstanding candidate we can all agree on and get excited about. It's draining the soul out the club.

Cheers lads all interesting points with their own merits absolutely.
