EHL, 2 questions please:
1. You said you had heard a rumour of at least one coach we have approached in the championship, but the name you heard doesn't sound like it excites you?
2. You said you were leaning towards keeping the current team in place, but realistically, what are the chances of getting rid of most or all them and having them replaced with better quality?
06 Apr 2025 11:48:56
I said previously that i would like Barry involved in the new management set up and Mcgregor the goalkeeping coach, after thinking about it far more I've changed my mind, Barry's reaction to the players probably wouldn't be welcomed from the new manager, I'm not saying what he's saying isn't true because it really is but just don't think is manager would be having it.
New management team for me, maybe keep the Belgium/ Morocco coach but the rest can go.
06 Apr 2025 12:16:54
Mystar, I agree, imo, if BF thought he was in with a shout he wouldn't have been just as scathing yesterday ( although its 100% true) .
Managers may admit to having poor game, but don't totally RIP the team and morale to bits, especially just before a European tie.
New management won't accept those comments ( again, I agree with him, but shows why he hasn't progressed from Kelty)
06 Apr 2025 12:22:38
Hi Stig, the name from the Championship I'd heard didn't immediately excite me - but I did say that after I thought about it I could see the logic behind it.
I have been really impressed by McCann and Dodds - and would love to see them stay on. However, BF isn't a patch on PC and as time goes on I think his inexperience is going to become more and more apparent.
06 Apr 2025 12:46:23
We need to play with two wide players and stop playing igamane and dessers together also IMo.
06 Apr 2025 13:16:09
Hmm I'm wondering Scott Parker
Although not sure he'd come now given his Burnley side on a good route to promotion if they can se e it out pretty tight at the top .
06 Apr 2025 14:25:02
Storm I agree it's never worked with them together even for pc so don't know why we keep playing them together.
06 Apr 2025 15:06:39
Thestigno1 i agree with you mate ?If it was burnley manager scott parker that EHL was referring to i would doubt very much if he'd leave english premier league bound burnley, to become our next permanent manager ?.
06 Apr 2025 15:12:30
I'd hope it was Carrick over Parker but want neither.
06 Apr 2025 15:49:21
BAR, that is was shocked me mate especially with this game on Thursday, yes fire in about the players in the dressing room but saying it under media attention was way wrong.
06 Apr 2025 16:07:34
My star imo, Fergie thought he had a chance of getting job, that disappeared yesterday.
06 Apr 2025 17:08:09
Agree John last week they were his players this week not good enough for Rangers.
06 Apr 2025 17:56:38
He's tried everything with these players so a big dose of the truth and a few dropped shouldn't do any harm , only trouble being with a couple out suspended for Thursday we are struggling to implement that, Butland Dessers and Jefte have direct replacements, already got to change Soapy and Dio so predicting the line up will be anyone's guess.

Hi kinda new to the chat but like reading all the rumours, If you are talking about championship managers the two that spring to my mind are Frank Lampard or Danny Rohl at Sheffield Wednesday. Rohl is admired in Germany and many English teams and is linked with Southampton and Leicester.
The outsider for me and would cost an arm and a leg but is box office is Jose who I believe will leave Turkey. I thank Barry at present but would he stay on as an assistant . Would keep the other coaches but depends on the new man wanting them. Its a big call for the new owners and they have to get it right. Just so frustrating as Celtic are there for the taking, they have lost 14 points from turn of the year but we have not once capitalised on it and gave them a free hit every bloody time.
06 Apr 2025 19:02:54
That's the one good thing that came from the game yesterday. We would have been in trouble had Ferguson got the job FT.
06 Apr 2025 19:26:20
I don't disagree with BF, the players are miles behind the standard and simply don't appear to give a toss. I don't buy this 'they're trained to forgot the loss and move on'. They should never forgot some of the loses and performances they've given us, it should haunt them.
Ferguson won't get the job because it's simply too big for him but I don't disagree with a thing he's said, the players should be embarrassed.
06 Apr 2025 19:37:07
He did still refer to them as his players yesterday, but nothing he said was wrong.
From the championship, Danny Rohl is the only one I'd take. Shouldve been Corberan.
Should be going for Motta or Terzic.
06 Apr 2025 19:43:38
The Wednesday fans seem to think Rohl has an agreement with Southampton already. Something to do with compensation they can't announce it until they are relegated.
He has done a good job there however.
06 Apr 2025 20:41:58
Doesn't matter if nothing he said was wrong what was wrong was him telling anyone that wanted to hear, dressing yes media no.
06 Apr 2025 21:30:54
I think I'll prefer to trust our managers judgement on that, thanks though.
06 Apr 2025 22:54:42
Personally i think they ripped thier own confidence apart to blame that on ferguson is laughable
when are we going to stop doing the same rubbish over and over we need to change everything starting with captain time to leave butland can go 90% of squad can leave.
I can take team losing but i can't take the lack of effor from these players poor mentality think theve all chucked it and are waiting to see what happens with bew board and possible new manager ao now they are all just coasting and staying clear of injury in case they need to move on and sure many of them will now that we are not going to overpay wages.
07 Apr 2025 05:52:22
Madness for anyone thinking what Ferguson done was the correct way.
07 Apr 2025 07:39:56
When PC kept it in the dressing room and smokescreen the press people were screaming out for him to just be brutally honest, now BF has said what we all thought and somehow that's wrong too. I agree, he's probably guilty of playing to the fans but he's fuming. I always liked how McCann talked about the game so would liked him involved in the future. The truth is, countless managers have took the blame for the inability to afford our main targets over the years or the fact that said targets didn't want to come. Dessers seemed to play his best when in Europe or coming off the bench.
07 Apr 2025 07:58:53
100% agree storm
Do you not think there could be a disconnect with what manager wants and the recruitment we were told before clement took over that he liked to operate with at least 4 wingers chopping and changing them depending on opponents but at Rangers the recruitment seemed to totally ignore signing wingers.
Ypu don't see Rangers hotting the byline anymore get opposition defenders facing thier own goal we make it easy for them. Swinging ball in from deep positions
Whens last time we seen tav jefte or yilmaz get right down the wing.
07 Apr 2025 07:59:31
Madness thinking your opinion holds more weight than anybody else's. It's about all I need to know about you really.
07 Apr 2025 08:24:40
So Star I am mad then as I want my manager to be calling players out I they show that type of performance. he didn't name individuals. It was only a matter of a few months that fans were complaining the last manager only quoted stats and didn't call the team out. BTW I appreciate you have an opinion but perhaps not calling other and who don't hold that opinion would be a better way to go. Read Tom's post on other discussions I you need more context.
07 Apr 2025 08:40:48
Angus him calling the team out in public ain't for me.
Dado all I can do is laugh at that man.
07 Apr 2025 08:45:43
Saying that isn't a Rangers team is a great thing for they players hearing it publicity eh especially with a massive game days away.
07 Apr 2025 09:17:21
I think it's madness to be decrying Barry for doing what we have all wanted a Rangers manager to do for far too long. Supporters have the right to know that the manager has ripped players after a game. Nobody, and I mean not a single soul, ever told Sir Alex that he was wrong when he did something similar. Anyone going to tell me it was wrong when he did it?
I think the job has passed Barry by now, I think he would have been in with a shout before the run of results but not now. In my view, I don't think that even winning the Europa League would get him the job now. I would like to see elements from the current coaching team to be kept on, namely Barry as Assistant Manager and Neil McCann as a coach, but I really cannot see him being appointed manager now.
07 Apr 2025 09:44:01
Very cool with him telling the players what he thinks but it should be behind closed doors.
07 Apr 2025 10:26:30
Maybe it was about time someone publicly shamed them for their displays all season and running another manager out the door in clement
Maybe behind closed doors just hasn't cut it
Maybe publicly will hit home just how woefully bad they have been and not giving a F about anyone bar themselves.
07 Apr 2025 12:27:33
Stingo not just before a game like we have coming up, showed his inexperience in my eyes.
07 Apr 2025 13:07:35
Possibly My Star let his emotions probably get the better of him but I forgive him and agreed with what he said ?.
08 Apr 2025 15:01:06
Fergie doesn't know why we played well or when we played badly . but listen he's ragin so that's good, sadly though Dodds has no idea why he's there and wants back to go 12 rounds with the English language on bbc commentary, tactical genius McCann probably wants back on there as well. Btw he's a tactical genius after the game, not before it.
08 Apr 2025 16:08:13
Edit *why we played badly he can see when.
08 Apr 2025 18:26:04
My star I think Fergie spoke like a captain and not a manager after the game. I'm split on it, as a player I would have loved that kick up the arse done publicly and I would have shown it in my next game but looking at changing rooms I was in, a very large percentage would have been raging and spat the dummy and got right on the phone to agent.
