Is it true we sounded out a manager before thd old firm game about the taking over ftom RM? I think john posted that.
06 Sep 2025 14:43:17
Walter I said we spoke to an individual.
06 Sep 2025 15:08:55
Who wasn't Scottish ??.
06 Sep 2025 15:12:16
They must be looking at other potential managers.
06 Sep 2025 15:16:15
Yes i remember John saying before the old firm game on the friday, that Rangers spoke to a manager about the possibility of replacing russell martin as our new manager and he wasn't scottish ?I was also told we spoke to someone but that someone i was told was scottish and none other than barry ferguson ?Do any of us know for definite if indeed we did speak to anyone at all ?no we don't so god knows ?.
06 Sep 2025 15:29:04
Someone posted the other day about mourinho being reached out to.
06 Sep 2025 15:37:06
General consensus from the various rumours is that we have spoken to 3 individuals who are currently available.
All 3 have expressed an interest should things progress.
06 Sep 2025 15:55:25
I'm sure things will progress if we fail to beat Hearts and Hibs after the break.
06 Sep 2025 16:13:38
Manager needs to beat hearts to keep his job I don't think he's the correct man but hopefully he proves me wrong.
06 Sep 2025 16:16:35
No chance did we speak to Barry Ferguson.
06 Sep 2025 16:22:28
Mourinho isn't big enough to manage us.
06 Sep 2025 16:22:45
I love u ehl.
06 Sep 2025 16:23:29
See van bommell said last week he was in talks with us for the job until RM got it.
06 Sep 2025 16:24:13
We need someone now!
This isn't going to work.
There's a league to be won.
I hope the club don't leave it too late.
06 Sep 2025 16:37:45
Any truth in the rumour KT threatened to walk if RM was punted?
06 Sep 2025 16:41:08
Just hope to hell Erik ten hag is not one or we are double fecked.
06 Sep 2025 16:50:27
I'd be surprised if anything other than 2 wins in our next 2 games keeps RM in a job…….
06 Sep 2025 16:50:38
Wilkins step away from the drinks cabinet?❤️?.
06 Sep 2025 17:05:17
Aye i suppose you'll know Storm ?Who did you hear mate, let's have it ?EHL, was one of the 3 allegedly sounded out OGS mate ?.
06 Sep 2025 17:05:40
I know for a fact Rangers have not spoken to Barry Ferguson about any potential managerial role at the club.
06 Sep 2025 17:07:46
Rock and a hard place, lose to hearts possible new manager but league already over, we have a squad that would challenge for title and we as a club would of made an arse of it.
06 Sep 2025 17:14:14
Tbh I think another ex man utd boss would be more likely in OGS. we need experience someone who knows how to win leagues and cups the profit PC before his disastrous ending.
06 Sep 2025 17:15:41
Not excuses now . Window closed, plenty of time on the training park. Players in for his system . Granted players on international duty. If does lose our next 2 games I would be quite happy if he was sacked and just as happy if Thelwell stuck to his principles and walked.
06 Sep 2025 17:19:06
Sorry john an individual so a manager or an agent but we did speak to someone about replacing RM? The reason I bring it up is if the club have it in mind why not just do it and get it over with otherwise we will be in a worse position. 6 points is not insurmountable but 10/ 12 is imo.
06 Sep 2025 17:38:31
Rusty he never got interviewed.
06 Sep 2025 18:02:05
Ehl yes there are three names all unemployed, I only know of one we spoke to, the other two r well known.
06 Sep 2025 18:36:03
Now walter I said manger not from Scotland, it's like playing games with words.
Walter owners have a plan, its there 75 million.
06 Sep 2025 18:43:22
Hose A, Rose A, Roll A.
06 Sep 2025 18:49:00
Fork, too late??.
06 Sep 2025 19:27:34
The other scenario is we skelp hearts and hibs.
06 Sep 2025 20:02:07
Yup sozzled??.
06 Sep 2025 20:13:04
I suppose it is a Saturday ?.
06 Sep 2025 20:13:36
Jose? Marco Rose? Danny Rohl?
Some strong candidates there if we're thinking of trying to get one of them to take over soon.
06 Sep 2025 20:20:45
Rusty, Van Bommell said he was spoken to about the job BUT never actually got as for as talking to anyone from the club, so he wasn't really in talks about the job.
06 Sep 2025 21:11:06
You right coops I will know as I spoke to Barry and Derek recently very recently thanks as I have said before I new Barry from school and hadn't spoken to him in a long time until recently thanks ?.
06 Sep 2025 22:15:54
I wish we would have replaced RM after the old firm game in order to give the new manager some time with the players over the International break. As we didn't, I think RM has these next two games to save his career. If he is replaced, do we want Rohl, Rose, Solskjaer or Van Bommel.? I don't think we would go after Jose. Would like Knutsen myself but don't think he would come.
06 Sep 2025 22:58:04
I also spoke to baz in a restaurant very recently in harthill storm ?A regular visitor to this restaurant baz is my friend ?.
06 Sep 2025 23:17:52
He's got as much chance of knowing as you do Coops.
07 Sep 2025 00:03:59
Mourinho isn't big enough? jeez that's a topper.
07 Sep 2025 01:24:23
I know mourinho likes to say a lot of things.
But he did say he wants a European side that isn't in UEFA competitions. So if he sticks to that then he probably won't be interested.
However he has coached in almost every big Derby apart from old firm and Boca/ river.
07 Sep 2025 02:43:17
Is Barry really your friend, SWS? What did he tell you in the restaurant? Has he been spoken to about replacing Martin? I take it Harrington's is where you meet? Never mind, I'll ask him when I see him next week, but when I spoke to him on Thursday he said he had not been approached. Maybe he has been now though?
07 Sep 2025 07:11:54
Now Thornton i never said baz said himself he'd been spoken to mate ? I said i was told he had been and that was long after i had spoken to him at the restaurant mate and you know baz wouldn't tell anything like that and i personally wouldn't ask him my friend ? Hope that clears that up for you mate ???.
07 Sep 2025 07:46:41
I know you were having a bit of lighhearted fun Asa my friend, when you said the 3 manager's names of jose mourinho, marco rose and danny rohl ?I know you like the idea of ole gunnar solskjaer as a possible future manager/ head coach of Rangers mate and i myself wouldn't be against that at all ? However Asa, if martin can't start to turn things around, realistically who do you think would possibly become our next manager/ head coach mate ? I'll be honest, i can't see mourinho coming to scottish football as our manager?I would honestly think marco rose would have a very good chance of succeeding martin and becoming our new manager/ head coach but i wouldn't rule out OGS ???.
07 Sep 2025 08:39:05
Cool coops ?.
07 Sep 2025 10:10:06
You can tell its the international break.
Some folk waffle on the forum.
He says, they says, I know, they know.
???.
07 Sep 2025 10:32:28
Not for one minute that i'm saying danny rohl couldn't possibly be a good choice to replace russell martin, but surely if it did come to getting shot of martin, we'd be better going for a much more experienced manager, who's managed decent sized clubs and won things ?
I honestly don't know if putting danny rohl into the Rangers head coach/ manager's job would be a good thing so early in his career, with the size and expectation that comes with being Rangers manager ? That's a lot of pressure for a manager with very little experience ?.
07 Sep 2025 10:39:18
SWS my first choice would be Rose.
I think Ole would succeed especially in the more head coach setting.
Danny Rohl would likely be the easiest target.
Jose would be the extreme luxury option and i believe he would be interested.
07 Sep 2025 11:36:54
Thornton, what's your overall opinion of Russell Martin mate ie. do you think he will be relieved of his duties shortly and if we don't beat both hearts and hibs ? Also who would be your choice to replace martin if this did come to pass ?.
07 Sep 2025 12:10:18
Thornton, I agree Barry has not been approached by the club
Asa my understanding is solksjaer and Stewart did not get on at united.
07 Sep 2025 12:30:27
Ed can we do a poll . Who knows the Barry the best and who is his bestest bestest friend ??.
07 Sep 2025 12:38:51
I can confess I know very little about the relationship between the two my friend.
Ole has always been very private around his exit from Manchester United.
Although I must say I believe United would be in a much better position were Ole still in charge.
07 Sep 2025 12:44:50
Ole would be a massive gamble. Too big a gamble aftet martins disastrous appointment, I'd expect a safe pair of hands when Martin is sacked.
Mourinho would have to half his demands aswell: €9m a season wef max out at €5m only because it's a elite level coach but notmally I'd say €3m.
07 Sep 2025 12:55:42
Harthill has a restaurant? this is news .
Btw all Jose loves a wind up and even if he's a bit tired now he does bring other coaches with him to help, any player gets 5 mins with him they will feel better and do better, even Dowell and Rothwell .
He's made some howlers like going to Spurs but the man is a genius .
07 Sep 2025 13:11:42
That's easy Scotty it's the coops fella.
07 Sep 2025 13:12:26
Every coach would be and is a gamble and people saying experience we have had that and it's not worked either ? we just need the right one who ever that may be.
07 Sep 2025 15:08:42
Big Sam would be a good shout.
07 Sep 2025 15:27:01
SWS I have no idea of Martin's position currently except that I have heard one or two saying he is no more than a couple of games away from losing his job, and that will remain the case as the season goes on. A couple of wins could extend his tenure but losing the next two matches will undoubtedly see him gone. As for any future successor I have no idea, but it would have to be someone who commands a high level of authority.
07 Sep 2025 15:31:56
Stevie, big sam has been far too long out the game mate ?.
07 Sep 2025 19:18:27
Solskjaer is a serial loser and doesn't have the character to manage a club like Rangers.
07 Sep 2025 21:44:55
That has crossed my mind coops, I don't know how his health is.
There's never been another manager quite like him for coming in mid season and turning it around.
08 Sep 2025 02:35:23
If it's no a petrol station it's a restaurant ???♂️.
09 Sep 2025 10:37:44
Anyone like Nuno espirito Santo, god only knows what Forest expect from a manager but whatever it is it ain't happening .
Go for it Brendan lad it will be fine .
