Rangers banter 6

13 Oct 2025 10:58:31
Checked out some of Danny Rohl's pressers. He sounds as if he would certainly be the main man, don't think he would take any dressing room crap and wouldn't be scared to make big decisions. just saying.! we will have to just Rohl with it. 🔴⚪️🔵.

13 Oct 2025 16:09:19
My real worry is will the lad be able to handle the pressure he is going to face, we are a different kettle of fish, and coming in at this time with the support somewhat divided could prove a hard task.

13 Oct 2025 17:13:16
He'd need to hit the ground running Shota, sad it likes that when a large percentage couldn't tell you anything about him, I'm also give a man time, posted yesterday about Rangers and Sunderland, I wasn't the keen on the Sunderland manager at the being of the season, but i was always give any man time (unless someone like Martin) but that has all changed as am so happy with him now, but I just know our manager will never get the time required because of the toxic nature of a large portion of Rangers fans now, It does my head in so dam much.

13 Oct 2025 18:12:54
Being of last season that should read.

13 Oct 2025 18:24:06
A don't think any manager we hire will hit the ground running with this squad, will need adequate time to do things his way, which he should be afforded.

13 Oct 2025 18:26:54
Beginning even 🙈.

13 Oct 2025 15:36:25
Robinson or McInnes for me both know the club, the league and the demand.

But with Thelwell and his Son at the helm we have no chance of bringing a decent manager, only yes men like Martin.

13 Oct 2025 15:56:20
I agree with that 🫡.

13 Oct 2025 16:44:25
Rab you get it mate👍.

13 Oct 2025 17:46:10
For me we need Koppen back and Davie Weir to join. Getting a decent Manager (or First Team Coach) then wouldn't be such a problem. The resignations and sackings shouldn't begin and end with Martin and I think we are all pretty much in agreement that Thelwell needs to go too.

13 Oct 2025 13:26:24
Lots of comments about Rohl being another project or not being the man for the job.

Personally I'd rather not dip into that English lower league market as Beale and Martin haven't exactly been what we needed.

I believe Gio, Clemment and even Beales team would be sitting at the top of the league this season so there's an opportunity to turn things around.

What we need is a manager who understands that we need to be aggressive from the first whistle. We don't need to hold onto the ball for 90 minutes and settle into a shape before deciding to start a phase of play. We need to pressure teams into mistakes and force goals.

A constructive press and solid shape that can deal with opponents humping the ball up the park looking to get in behind or dealing with a simple ball through the middle of our team.
Dare I say, even take a quick throw in or free kick now and again. We need to be the most disruptive and disciplined team on the field for a change.

Will Rohl provide that?

Is so - great. If not we need to look elsewhere.

13 Oct 2025 14:38:42
You should apply pele 👍.

13 Oct 2025 14:45:09
Why not? The championship is of far greater quality than the Spfl. If he can coach in it then he can coach in the Spfl.

13 Oct 2025 14:51:36
He won't.

13 Oct 2025 14:56:41
I need to say I think beale would of been good if giving time.

13 Oct 2025 15:31:52
As I mentioned before, listened to a Shef Wed podder and he said that Rohls team was very slow in every first half and usually conceded first and then would go all out for it in the second half.
I get that the team he inherited were at the bottom of their league but we aren't exactly blessed with an amazing team right now either.

13 Oct 2025 16:08:32
I probably fall into the Barry Ferguson category Strom. And most of the Rangers fans for that matter.

We ALL know what we need to see but the managers so far haven't shown us.

Too often - bar that title winning season - Gerrards teams fell back on Tav and borna lumping crosses into the box against 10 men in a low block. It was only when we managed to get a season where Morelos, Kent and Roofe stayed mostly fit we changed. Kent came more central, Roofe played off to the right of Morelos and all of a sudden we were making chances and winning a title.

Beale said he'd take the handbrake off when he came in. Nothing if the sort happened.

Gio was too pragmatic and from the outside unbacked so had to coach what he was given (sands, king and lundstram centre half's in the champions league 😵‍💫).

Phil was stubborn and lost the will towards the end with those same interviews, Tav following with the must learn from this and move forward. We didn't learn.

There's not enough anger in this squad. Not enough contempt for the opponent. Not enough hunger. It needs to change.

Two words for you superally 1982.
Russel Martin.

13 Oct 2025 16:46:08
Sick reading Championship is better quality yet they fail in the SPL, did you not watch Martin and half the duds from England?

13 Oct 2025 14:18:36
EHL with the names your hearing would you be happy with all 3 doing well for rangers.

13 Oct 2025 15:16:39
Yes, all three would be a vast improvement and I think can see all three being successful.

They are just very different styles.

13 Oct 2025 16:36:31
Thanks EHL.

U19 coach steven Smith overseeing training for now.

13 Oct 2025 14:05:42
I think whoever comes in destined to fail unless they have full control of transfer activity which I don't think they will. Yes it's ok signing youngsters with potential for sell on fees but we can't have a team of them. We need an experienced team with maybe a couple of young potential players each season. I think chermiti will come good in the end but how do we make a profit on him unless he banging in about 40 a season. Riches of the champions league is where our focus should be, not on potential players that may or may not fulfill expectation.

13 Oct 2025 14:37:58
Davie, i personally don't like the structure we have, although i do understand it. If we bring another manager in and he fails do we just sack him and move on to the next one? When do we look at the actual guy that's bringing these players in?

Now forget about Gerrard i'm over that, he's gone, but i think we should be flexible in regards to this to give potential managers the best chance at the job, same as we would want our managers to be flexible in regards to playing to the players strengths. Just my opinion i get others will differ.

13 Oct 2025 14:40:35
When we had Beale, Clement etc., we said managers can't have full control of transfers now we are saying managers needs it? Fickle fans indeed. People in charge can't win.

We are getting a manager it's a head coach so a head coach shouldn't have full control.

13 Oct 2025 15:04:22
A manager should always have the final say. Head coach is the wrong route to go.

13 Oct 2025 15:08:04
Before people didn't want managers to have control in case they get sacked now they want the manager to have full control 🤣.

13 Oct 2025 15:19:37
It's a model that has existed in mainland Europe for decades - and one that most of the most successful clubs use.

It's relatively new to British football, but is now very much the norm in England.

Personally I still think our transfer business has been good, and in 3-4 months we'll be back to debating how many millions our inform players will go for.

13 Oct 2025 15:24:24
Set up is what owners want and works at most other clubs, yes coach has to have input but not total control.
The biggest problem we have is Therwell he is incompetent to say the least, how do we trade to make profits with the amount we have spent on loan signings and probably the most expensive hardly getting game.

13 Oct 2025 16:48:38
The head coach route requires competence in every role to support this structure. We don't have that competence and was a major reason why SG said no.
