Not so much a rumour as a prediction here. We cannot afford a manager that we would consider to be of Rangers stature. After the New Year, the board will announce that since no candidate stood out for them, Mark Allen will take a more active role in assisting the new head coach, Graeme Murty, who will be given a one year rolling contract. Alex Rae and Barry Ferguson will join the backroom team as Rangers go forward into a new era where we will encourage the old Liverpool 'boot room' ethos and promote players and coaches from within for the forseeable future. In the meantime, we will look for a few experienced players on frees or for small fees and go all out to sign the best young Scottish talent and others the scouting system might identify.

So a former man City youth coach and our under 20 coach will be our new management team assist by Barry ex clyde and Alex ex St mirren
Europe will be be trembling with fear.

No danger dutycalls! Our board are dithering regarding appointing a new manager, but i don't believe they're that stupid, by alienating the fans by doing what you're saying! The fans would never buy it! Our board more than ever, need to make a statement of intent, to all our shareholders and supporters! We need a manager of experience and ilk! Do us all a favour and go and do whatever it takes to appoint tony pulis, as the new glasgow rangers manager! Give us long suffering bears, a nice surprise for christmas,
tony pulis as our new manager!

There’s no doubt people like Ferguson and Rae know what Rangers are about but they’ve done nothing of note as coaches which would suggest they can’t coach so o don’t see how going back to jobs for the boys will help us out.



21 Dec 2017 21:46:14
To do whatever it takes they will have to either lose the director of football or tell him that he can’t have any say what so ever in first team matters and that includes which players we sign regardless even if he feels that in 18 months time there will be a guy in the academy just as good as a potential new signing. This is the main problem that is going to prevent a new manager coming in.



21 Dec 2017 22:27:34
I agree with most of what you guys are saying, especially coop, but I've got a horrible feeling this is the way they will try to sell it to the fans. I used Ferguson and Rae as examples, not as choices, but observing and listening carefully leads me to think this is not the fantasy I hope it turns out to be.



21 Dec 2017 23:04:17
I think you could be right but actually it's not that weird a scenario it's just how it's been dragged out.

I just can't see why a top level UK manager would take it when they get 5 or 10 times as much down there. Brendan Rodgers is still ridiculed down south so it won't help anyone's reputation either. Only options are a Rangers person (Murty, ex managers/ players) or a lower level manager.



22 Dec 2017 00:19:47
utter rubbish mark allen no experience in fact who and what the feg does he actually do?
waste of a wage
bee in my bonnet with him



22 Dec 2017 09:57:38
Load of pish as a have stated for a long time there will be money avaliable soon and a lot as soon as Ashley has sold Newcastle . He is still funding everything from a distance at the minute .



22 Dec 2017 13:17:23
This rumour suddenly doesn't seem far fetched.



21 Dec 2017 20:46:52
Jordan Jones almost a done deal to Rangers in January. Declan John will sign a pre contract, Walker and Mclean have both agreed to sign pre contracts but we could possibly pay a small fee to get Mclean in January. Rangers will attempt to get Tony Pulis or Aitor Karanka, if they fall through Mcleish will be given the job untill summer. Oh and Jason Cummings is staying in Glasgow 2 nights from 3rd Jan to the 5th so heres hoping we get him on a loan or permanently.



21 Dec 2017 21:06:20
Deary me, that’s some crystal ball you’ve got there!



21 Dec 2017 21:43:37
Can’t speak for the rest you’ve said but I know an ex player (Scottish championship level who’s 50 now) who knows McLean and he said the same thing about signing a pre contract



21 Dec 2017 23:18:21
I like Rangersnews stories 👍



22 Dec 2017 00:56:56
Is this the same Jamie Walker who’s talking to Blackburn Rovers right now about a move to them Rangersnews!? I know it’s a rumour site but F**k sake at least make something up that most folk will believe. 👍🏻



22 Dec 2017 06:04:27
Get that in the post to Santa rangersnews. can’t knock your optimism though. But at the same time wouldn’t want you balancing the books.



22 Dec 2017 13:20:41
bit of a contradiction to your other post regarding manager



21 Dec 2017 20:38:11
Rangers planning a bid to bring Jason Cummings to Ibrox in January. Also heard Tony Pulis is number 1 target for Manager but if that doesn't plan out we will go for Paul Clement. Reliable source.



21 Dec 2017 21:44:23
Would bite your hand off for Cummings



21 Dec 2017 23:06:56
Morelos and Cummings would be an interesting front 2



21 Dec 2017 20:42:39
Steven Naismith coming back in January - rumours

your thoughts?



21 Dec 2017 21:45:58
Would take him back in a heart beat. Cracking player if he stays fit. Think he would partner well with Morelos



21 Dec 2017 22:28:36
We'll need to get another treatment table in for him, the others are almost permanently occupied.



21 Dec 2017 17:52:05
According to sky sports news Pulis isn't even getting thought about by Swansea. They looking at Koeman and Bilic according to SSN. But we know how things change in football.
I'm surprised that rangers ain't even told us they have spoken to someone or that they do have someone in mind without naming names at least that way we the fans can have some hope that they are actually doing something.



21 Dec 2017 19:22:33
Totally agree with your point mate, the silence is deafening man.



21 Dec 2017 20:30:20
Because they probably don't have anyone in mind, took 6 wks to approach Aberdeen for McInnes with the arrogant assumption he'd say yes and then back to square one when he turned it down.



21 Dec 2017 11:32:58
Ssn- Pulis not be considered for the Swansea job.



21 Dec 2017 14:30:54
Let's see how long it takes Swansea to get a new manager. An absolute disgrace we are taking this long. Fans need communication from the board. No fault of poor Graham Murty but the points we have shipped could cost us this year with Celtics recent form. If we had got someone in from the start we could actually be challenging.



21 Dec 2017 15:47:43
I think the majority off the fans will be expecting a new manager in charge sometime in jan if this doesn't happen the board will see falling attendaces happning on match days it is already happing just now

Also with the amount of players been linked to go out there are going have to buy a lot replacments for them if they all move on



21 Dec 2017 16:09:51
Just how can we buy replacements in January when we have no manager to oversee this. I still have a sneaky feeling mcinness will still come in.



21 Dec 2017 16:41:55
McInnes rejected us



21 Dec 2017 19:24:23
Just shows you how good a manager pulis really is when Swansea don't want him. thoughts people?



21 Dec 2017 20:11:47
As Murty already stated, Mark Allen will be doing any transfer business in January



21 Dec 2017 20:47:48
Hearing a lot about Cummings coming to us! Probably need 500k to 1m would need to offload Herrera and Pena maybe get 500k for them both if wee are lucky both useless
