Storm and Stevie just for you. Nothing has changed. Gerrard is 100% our next manager. That's all I have to say. ?.
27 May 2025 12:28:57
He may be Florida but like some posters have claimed it hasn't always been him so many people guessing and hoping it ls right so they can claim ITK and btw that's not what I'm saying you are doing but there's plenty that are.
27 May 2025 12:35:11
Florida, why are you 100% sure that SG will be announced as manager? Everything is pointing to Ancelloti being the new head coach.
27 May 2025 12:39:14
I think you might end up looking rather silly, Florida.
Fair play though doubling down instead of backing down. lol.
27 May 2025 12:58:42
Correct Jason it is only guess work because only a handful of men truly know, I think it will be Ancelotti though.
27 May 2025 13:05:45
Hope so Fb as I can see Henderson in the 6 role .
27 May 2025 13:23:42
Gvb, just for interest? What salary would you expect Henderson to ask for, oh and of course his signing on fee?
27 May 2025 13:25:44
Noone knows, we might have preferred candidates but until its all done and dusted and we offer someone a job and they accept anything can happen.
27 May 2025 13:38:27
Henderson going 2 sundered by all accounts.
27 May 2025 13:42:44
Bar if he's coming in as payer coach he's buying into the experience doesn't have to be crazy . Ya never know .
27 May 2025 13:47:35
Henderson at 35 is a no from me.
Fair play FB.
27 May 2025 13:47:58
Davide ancelotti is our new manager ?.
27 May 2025 13:49:40
My mate said a leak came from someone very close to Gerrard very early on and that's how he got wind of it and why so many ex players got wind of it
So it's not that the club or the 49ers leaked it it came from his camp by accident apparently
It's why my mate has linked in it twice initially at the start and then when he drifted out lumped on again
Suppose time will tell hopefully not long to find out.
27 May 2025 13:52:04
Sunderland.
27 May 2025 13:54:21
Ancelotti is coming.
27 May 2025 14:06:47
I hated the narrative of folk will be a bit embarrassed when a decision is made but I feel the more people write 100% happening, fact, etc then it is inevitable that some will be left looking a bit foolish and that's me putting it politely.
27 May 2025 14:31:37
It's NOT Gerrard!
27 May 2025 14:23:07
No he's not please stop it.
27 May 2025 14:31:47
I'm 100% sure no one has a scooby.
27 May 2025 14:32:23
Stig that would make sense my friend. From the two persons that told me. One is a hall of fame 9 in a row club legend the other is very close to the current Rangers setup and what's going on. His finger is most definitely on the pulse. I have no reason to doubt either and we shall find out soon ??.
27 May 2025 14:36:54
If its Gerrard then looks like we'd be going in with even less help and experience in coaching than he had last time. Well know Beale was his main coach tactician before with Gary Mac and others behind him. Davis and Henderson have practically nothing so would would be guiding him this time round?
27 May 2025 15:15:08
Thanks Florida.
Appreciate the update pal ??.
27 May 2025 15:21:15
Hendersons wage could fund 3 or 4 players.
27 May 2025 15:31:48
Excuse my ignorance here but how would a hall of famer have knowledge of a decision being made by businessmen and people with no prior connection to the club? I don't imagine they have chosen to given this particular ex-players a call to run it by him.
Also how would anyone be close to the current set up when that set up is apparently going into massive changes in personnel and re-allocation. With all the change going on and no media getting a whiff of anything how is it that these two know what nobody else knows?
I could be 100% wrong but I am very skeptical to the validity of these "sources" and whilst I believe it is most likely Ancelotti and I'm aware it could be Gerrard or someone else, I'm not trusting this until such a decision is announced.
27 May 2025 15:36:28
Beale was no technician and either was Gary Mac they were instructed by Gerrard (their BOSS) to train the players for a set formation and game scenarios yes like any Manager Gerrard would have welcomed their thoughts an ideas but he was the boss and made the decisions. Steven Gerrard inherited a sh""t show made us champions and had us competing in Europe year in year out and has been our most successful manager since Sir Walter. If Beale was a technician he had a year to show it with plenty of cash £££££ in the transfer market if only the board had given Gerrard that cash he may never have moved to Villa.
27 May 2025 16:21:08
Ayrshire not one person is telling you
Or asking you to trust anything they are posting mate.
End of day folk are just posting in rumours on what they have heard and given some back ground on how they heard it and and what they have been told
On why certain information is going around
I can give you a 100% fact though if you want one?
Ex players at helicopter Sunday all said Gerrard
Again just because there also saying it doesn't make it true even if their convinced it's him
Loads of folk at helicopter Sunday event all heard the ex players talking about it or most did from what I heard
But Florida Bear iNTR and my mate which I posted around same time as the other 2 all said it very early on way before bookies and helicopter Sunday event and newspapers
And again it doesn't make it gospel
Only time we will know the manager when it's announced by the club
but that goes for every bit of banter and rumour across this forum the newspapers radio stations and your mate down the pub
But the site is about rumours so folk are posting them and it keeps the site fun and interesting nothing more nothing less ??.
27 May 2025 16:30:21
Walters I'm not arguing against the job he did but Gerrard said himself that Beale was behind the coaching/ tactics. Obviously SG had the final say but he leant heavily on their knowledge and experience (and others I've forgotten their names) . He can't do that with Davis and Hendo. If it's him I'd rather he came with someone far more experienced.
27 May 2025 16:33:32
Im not dissing FBs and others who have nailed their predictions to the mast but I genuinely think if it was to be Gerard it would have been leaked by someone in Getards camp already.
27 May 2025 16:50:39
Its not going to be Gerrard as the club and new owners have said the new Manager will not have been at the club before.
Lets hope if Davide Ancilotti is the manager that he can bring some young talent from Real M, Napoli or Bayern M with his contacts there.
27 May 2025 17:28:08
It's fairly obvious no one knows. All we can go by regarding Gerrard are the 'hints' he's been dropping right back to March when he put up the suit image with "Hold On, I'm Coming" as the song choice. Makes you wonder has it been him since Clement went ??♂️ At this point I don't care just get it done!
27 May 2025 17:38:10
Stig no-one is saying that you, FB and others didn't get told this information from a variety of sources. However like Ayrshire and I have said this all along I still don't get how they got the information from a group of US businessmen who aren't even based here and have kept every bit of business up till now very well hidden unless they wanted to release it. and if they do why would they up to a month before they announce the manager. why not announce it and say his start date will be delayed. that makes more sense and less chance of these leaks.
I can't also understand why both Gerrard and Ancelotti camp both saying they have got the job. As I say not saying you haven't heard it and don't want to fall out all over again with Florida over it as I never doubted he was told this.
BTW I also don't think anyone saying any of the other managers names have any better sources which lead back to the only 3-4 guys who know.
27 May 2025 17:48:32
I don't think it's SG.
The stig I have no problem with people posting rumours at all ever or that it's SG just that FB and CF5 had for a few days/ week posted snide comments when others said other people. I still don't think Cf5 was the original Copland road 5 just my opinion as his whole style had changed this time.
27 May 2025 18:42:11
Mark there's plenty of media written and video of Gerrard saying how vital Beale was. Most of the players I've even seen questioned on this backed that up.
27 May 2025 19:41:23
Angus, I'm only stating the obvious mate on how rumours start.
I'm not for one minute saying it's him or anyone else. But explaining why rumours come about. It doesn't need to be the business men from 49ers and it doesn't need to be from the club
My mate got his info from someone who apparently leaked it from Gerard's camp by accident from someone he knows around Rangers. But I'm assuming it's why ex players all heard it too unless they heard it from Gerrard directly I don't know and will never know why they all think the same and why they all mentioned it at the helicopter Sunday event
I suppose end of day all it takes is for a wife of anyone at board level to say to a friend who repeats it and it goes from there. Not saying it is but rumours can be from anywhere from anyone some might be true who knows.
But no one Angus is saying or from what I've seen and read so far is saying it's came from the 49ers or the club. Patrick could have said to a family member familiar member passed it on it's easily done
But the main part of my post is (this is a rumours site). Can't we just treat it as a rumours site or do we now have to show messages of proof of any rumour connection to the person who passed on the info so the person isn't interrogated to show his passport birth certificate and a copy of today's newspaper. ?
It's getting tiresome anyone who posts up a rumour has to now prove where they heard it how they received it.
I just say that's great info look forward to seeing what unfolds
That's great Info have you heard anything else
That's great info be disappointed if that comes to fruition
That's great info let's see what u folds
Not right come on show your papers ? come on and your passport and your birth certificate show me your connection to the 49ers. How do you know Jed Yorke come on. How do you know Nils Koppen come on show me your evidence ?
IT'S A Rummmmmoouuurrrr site.
????
Ed have we a breakdown on what a rumour site is for anyone that's possibly not Caughtened on yet mate ???
Sorry couldn't resist
Hate to think how it's going to be when it comes to players. And how do you know this and then it will be rinse and repeat I'll have this post copy and pasted for when the time comes ???.
