Oh and Gerrard had agreed terms initially hence why some of us had heard it was definitely him, but he's decided not to take it last week after whatever happened there he seems to changed his mind.
So who knows who's going to get it or got it, but think they need to get things moving with the qualifiers fast approaching and a team needed put together with a coach in place to coach them?
04 Jun 2025 15:25:02
I personally don't think SG had agreed any terms.
04 Jun 2025 15:47:45
SG never agreed terms.
04 Jun 2025 15:49:13
SG did not agree terms and was not offered terms. Straight from the top men.
04 Jun 2025 15:57:22
That's not true stig.
04 Jun 2025 15:58:54
Everyone walking away as the rumours say, to clear the path for Marco Rose? fingers crossed.
04 Jun 2025 16:04:47
Totally agree Ibrox.
04 Jun 2025 16:20:02
We need better than Gerrard and Martin.
Relieved Martin wasn't announced yesterday.
04 Jun 2025 16:20:38
Guys and Ibrox4me as a few in here heard same thing
Also players and ex players had heard same thing and were openly discussing it
That's a fact 100% true
It was rife through the helicopter Sunday event
And also John on here clarified Gerrard was spoken to as well in a post back a few weeks ago
There's a fair few who all believe and heard Gerrard was spoken to 100% that looks very credible?
And if you don't mind me asking if your so sure he wasn't
Who has been and who will be unveiled?
You can't come on and totally dismiss everybody surely without giving something back?
EBB if it's not true
Can you explain why it's not true and where you heard it's not true
So many coming in and rubbishing the Gerrard rumour yet so many credible sources have all heard it and said it
Just because you don't want it to be true doesn't make it untrue ?
He was at the very least spoken to and was was deemed to have been right up their in Cavanagh and 49ers preferred manager
I hope when and who over it is gets announced I Hope EHl can either clarify once and for all or least find out the real answer and be able to say in here and put it to bed and I'll leave it alone
Who else on here was at the helicopter Sunday event and openly hear the Gerrard rumour being spoken about?
That event was after someone of us was even told about it.
If you don't believe fair play
but others do and that's life.
04 Jun 2025 16:38:05
John what is it you agree with
I remember explicitly you saying a few weeks back you can clarify Gerrard was spoken too?
You also mentioned Lampard
and you mentioned another manager who's name slips my mind rejected talking to us
So I'm confused as to what you agree with
Are you now saying you haven't heard Gerrard was spoken to?
04 Jun 2025 16:41:05
John
Julen Lopetegu that's the other manager at same time you mentioned about Gerrard being spoken too
Yet Ibrox4me is saying he was never spoken too and you agree ?.
04 Jun 2025 17:00:15
For what it's worth, from the information I have heard - SG was not spoken to by the new ownership group.
Hopefully, that clears it up - or it may confuse matters even more.
04 Jun 2025 17:01:53
In fairness Stig, they said he wasn't offered terms not that he wasn't spoken to (at least from what I can see) Gerrard could have been spoken to and people could have thought is was him by virtue of him or his representatives speaking to people about being interviewed but it doesn't mean he was offered terms, just that he WAS a candidate. That being said he still MAY be the guy we ultimately appoint as other than EHL I think we are all in the dark as to what the board/ Thelwell have decided (if they truly have decided) . Even reliable sources are just hearing bits and pieces as the 49ers are keeping it very tight. Of course, I could be wrong.
04 Jun 2025 17:05:56
Sorry Stig. Calm down and read. I've once again said SG was not offered terms and this didn't agree terms. At no time did I say he hadn't had a conversation although my understanding is that this didn't happen. There are many agents, recruitment agencies and the like out there so it's not impossible there was a chat somewhere.
Also, I'm very much with what EHL has just posted. I appreciate you've gone out on a limb saying it's Gerrard, and if it is, I'll be the first to hold my hands up. However, it's best to read a comment first before changing it to suit your narrative. Hope this helps to clarify.
04 Jun 2025 17:07:13
Stingo my wee brothers friends with a couple of the young guys in the first team set up. Played with them at braidhurst so you can take a guess who. He's admitted that most of the squad aren't even sure who it's going to be ( at the time when I asked ) so what chance do ex players have? I remember when I was a young guy every one had it on paper we'd signed brown ( was coming from players in the squad and ex players at the time ) we even sung about it at Easter road I was there that day. He ended up signing for that lot ….
04 Jun 2025 17:20:35
EHL - the new owners alluded to the new head coach having no previous ties to Rangers is that still your understanding?
04 Jun 2025 17:21:14
I take every rumour on here as a rumour as we all should, I'm not in the know in any capacity however last thing I saw about Gerrard was Sky Sports.
Sky sport sources close to Gerrard understand that he was never in discussions with the 49ers.
Now if that means he spoke with king or so who knows ?.
04 Jun 2025 17:21:28
Stig maybe john was on his medication at that point ? i do recall him saying it though mate.
04 Jun 2025 17:22:38
Stig, which is it.
You said "Gerrard had agreed terms initially", as that's what your source had told you, then you said a couple posts later "He was at the very least spoken to"
So had he agreed terms or not?
And what I'm reading was John agreeing with another poster that he indeed hadn't been offered terms and didn't say that he wasn't spoken to!
You seem to have got extremely defensive
It's like you've came on this looking for something.
People hear things, doesn't mean they're right or wrong but the consensus seems to be Rangers initially spoke to Gerrard and that's as far as it went.
04 Jun 2025 17:22:41
Ok Thanks for clearing that up EHl
I am bewildered to know why so many people had heard he was spoken to even players ex players had believed he was spoken too
if you ever do hear anything else on it EHL on it I'd be interested to hear as so many convinced he was.
04 Jun 2025 17:27:01
A heard it was Gerrards representatives that reached out to Rangers and out of respect they held a meeting with Gerrards team. They realised they where not one of the preferred options and withdrew themselves as a option.
04 Jun 2025 17:31:17
Why does it matter if he was spoken to? He's not going to be our new manager/ head coach. Let it go.
04 Jun 2025 17:31:50
Stig you are digging a hole for yourself mate. You were adamant it was Gerrard and now it is not you are trying to cover your tracks. In all of the time since you started posting I've never heard you mention a source, not once, until now. I think this manager situation is driving you round the bend and I try to avoid your posts to be honest due to the shear length of them but keep posting and keep the high baws low.
04 Jun 2025 17:35:29
Can we just announce this already man, been trying to stay off these pages recently as it's just everyone arguing who is or isn't going to be manager. Just announce it so we can get our new era under way already!
04 Jun 2025 17:42:26
I'm with you Stig. Gerrard verbally agreed to come back and something has happened that has broken down the deal.
Alas according to a reliable source, Martin should be announced tomorrow barring any last minute hitches. Matt Gill will be his assistant.
04 Jun 2025 17:47:21
Stig there is a difference between Gerrard being spoken to and your OP that he agreed terms and then he turned us down. everyone is saying he never agreed terms not that he wasn't spoken to. you can see the difference here surely.
04 Jun 2025 17:50:46
So I got it wrong stig.
Both guys posted after me. I respect their views
U keep up posting what u read and run people down.
04 Jun 2025 17:56:56
O dear stig that didn't go well ?.
04 Jun 2025 18:10:29
My opinion is that it would have been absolutely crazy if we hadn't sounded out StevieG to find out his availability? We have went on 3 month search for a Manager and ended up with Russell Martin… I will support whoever is Manager?✌️.
04 Jun 2025 18:16:37
Markymark no Rangers review said that of his own opinion nothing to do with new owners. he's since retracted that statment.
04 Jun 2025 18:18:35
Stig, I think you missed the hint in my statement - SG wasn't spoken to by the NEW ownership group.
A group who are air tight in terms of how they conduct their business.
If you were the OLD ownership group I'd imagine it would have been prudent to have a plan B in the event that the share purchase didn't conclude, or was delayed - otherwise you'd face the risk of starting the season with no gaffer.
What we know about the old ownership group, is they aren't quite as air tight.
04 Jun 2025 18:21:20
Bear appears not Martin, Stig says he walked away due to budget and say in transfers.
04 Jun 2025 18:30:09
John, it's 100% Martin.
04 Jun 2025 18:35:33
The stig you have had a nightmare here contradicting what you are saying. You are taking things as gospel by your "friend" and others that were at some dinner who obviously got it wrong.
They are hardly any leaks so why would they know? SG was offered nothing I think you are double down because if he did refuse job you can say your info was correct when it wasn't.
A couple of weeks ago I was worried about you and asked you to take a break So did others and you said you were going to and post less and you have went a total 180. Have a day or two to yourself mate.
04 Jun 2025 18:38:32
I like the Farley Tv version of what went down with Stevie G. Think it's very close to the truth of the matter and quite funny into the bargain .
04 Jun 2025 18:43:25
EHL that makes perfect sense and I suspect all of the rumours and conjecture are still coming from that old group but they have no real knowledge of any of this now. hence why ex players etc are trying to sound in the know probably from information from that source.
04 Jun 2025 18:54:36
There's always sense behind the madness Angus.
Also means that posters who post rumours that aren't correct were also potentially sharing genuine rumours from genuine contacts.
