I believe things r moving, Romano now saying three names have been spoken to
The three people I referred to before old firm game
Rohl, who thelwell met in Birmingham on the Friday
Other two names I was given were Gerrard and rose. I have no information we have met either of these two,
17 Sep 2025 14:00:34
Where's Romano said that John? Can't see anything online.
17 Sep 2025 14:03:13
Is it likely they're looking to sack Martin and immediately announce a replacement then John?
17 Sep 2025 14:04:52
Where are you seeing this John? Nothing on Romanos X feed about Rangers or us speaking with 3 persons ?.
17 Sep 2025 14:10:26
Surely not replacing a Championship coach that's won nothing with another Championship coach that's won nothing. Danny Rohl is not who we need. We need a proper experienced Manager, not a fairly inexperienced Head Coach. Only Rose ticks some boxes. Underwhelming trio imo.
17 Sep 2025 14:11:04
Martin Romano on twitter confirmed three people in frame, he has not named them.
Unless it's another of these parody accounts I am good at fallen for
Alloa only an opinion, but yes, it would be disastrous to bring in a temporary replacement.
17 Sep 2025 14:13:09
Could still leave it to International break.
17 Sep 2025 14:14:07
Good info John
Queue the noise ….
17 Sep 2025 14:14:44
I'd take any of those Three
Think Rohl would be last if the three for me
I'm not sure why just a gut feeling happy for anyone to give me something to try change my mind on that though
Can we put aside Gerrard leaving in the night for a second
Out with how he left - he conducted himself very well as Rangers manager always the professional looked the part talked the part and won the league something everyone else has failed to do.
He also left us 7 points clear at top when he left and had the measure of Celtic and pretty much everyone else by time he left
Our fitness levels under him were excellent (was that Beale? I'm not sure why)
But the professionalism he brought back to the club was excellent and he was the one that started our European runs right up to where we wanted them leaving GVB to continue it.
I have said before at the time he was building I wasn't all for Gerrard but he definitely turned me around with everything he brought
Who's to say with backing with the new board Gerrard couldn't go on to make Rangers the dominate team in Scottish football?
He comes with a lot of plus points now for me and to be honest I was disappointed when he left
The professionalism the love he seems to now have for the club and the fact his career railroaded since he left I think he comes back and gives his all brings respect back a winning mentality back and new players to work with
Someone argue a very good case against him coming back and not being successful?
Rose comes with great experience and be very happy to have him also
So all said and done Gerrard or Rose I'd be happy and look forward to seeing what each man could achieve with the correct backing
RM doesn't have it to be a coach unfortunately in any capacity can't see him doing anything much in his career going forward just not a manager.
17 Sep 2025 14:21:38
Booster they r names given to me, rohl is not someone i would want.
17 Sep 2025 14:25:31
Jasper if u think all three underwhelming I think u r in for a surprise, this week we have seen martindale Robinson Ferguson.
I'm being told our next manager won't be Scottish.
If one off Germans we have been linked with in the past, he should be told he is getting a Scottish assistant imo.
17 Sep 2025 14:27:15
John yu were pretty adamant a couple of weeks ago you wouldn't give any names until RM was gone has this change because your sure he's for the sack? BTW i'm thankful for the info but curious.
17 Sep 2025 14:33:10
The Stig, a very good post well explained imo.
17 Sep 2025 14:38:06
Good info John.
Rohl is certainly not on my list as he imo is another project manager.
I'd take SG back as he knows how to win in our league but I'd prefer Rose out of your mentioned names.
17 Sep 2025 14:49:03
John I've fell for them a few times mate.
I don't want rohl.
We need someone who has won trophies.
Someone with a record of getting the job done if u will.
17 Sep 2025 14:53:32
Rohl I don't think is who we need, too inexperienced and especially with the Scottish game.
Gerrard, loved it when he was here and don't hold anything against him for leaving. He was the constant professional. I just believe that ship has sailed.
Rose, he's been sacked too many times and over a short period of time. He's certainly the most experienced of those 3.
It's a difficult decision now for the board, they've hot to get the next one right.
17 Sep 2025 14:57:55
John 2575, completely agree we should be telling at least one his back room staff must be Scottish.
It's now been proven twice, if they don't have complete and full understanding of the Scottish mentality and game, then they will get caught out week after week, and we'll be back here in 3 months.
17 Sep 2025 14:58:17
A really good post, Stig. Before RM was appointed, I was very much in the don't bring Gerrard camp, but I've warmed slightly to the idea given how badly the RM era has been. Gerrard is more of a manager than a coach, though, and it would mean departing from the club's current model. Who do you think Gerrard would bring in as his 1st team coach and play the role Beale played first time around?
17 Sep 2025 14:59:32
Agree John - Rohl seems a bit of another gamble as it's a tried and trusted manager we need to get us out of this situation.

17 Sep 2025 14:59:51
Don't see anything from Romano unfortunately on his official channel about Rangers ?.
17 Sep 2025 15:06:16
Of the 3 names mentioned John although I was against him coming back Gerard is the one that sticks out for me. Cheers for the info sir??.
17 Sep 2025 15:08:39
Roger Schmidt.
17 Sep 2025 15:14:27
Mourinho is in talks with Benfica so it won't be him.
17 Sep 2025 15:19:25
Think I would take Gerrard, the last manager who I could see the formation that worked week in week out once we had players of a high enough calibre, maybe am just playing it safe, don't want Rhol.
17 Sep 2025 15:21:51
Apparently he was speaking to Team Talk about it.
17 Sep 2025 15:39:20
It's definitely going to be a tough decision when it's made on who the board decide to back as our next manager with the epic fail and fallout of RM
They really need to make a good decision on the next manager
Thanks John. Just trying to remind everyone the good points of Gerrard as we can get so bogged down on the way he left and his long it took him to win the league but we were in some mess when he took over
We have a decent side on paper this time around surely someone with a good deal of man-management skills motivational skills
Tactical flexibility, understanding of the Scottish game and being able to withstand pressure and knows how to handle the media
Basically the total opposite of RM ?.
17 Sep 2025 15:46:36
Gerrard has standards. He always stood up and took the blame if he got something wrong. I always remember he was raging as well even when we'd be winning 4-0 and the team started to take their foot off the gas. That's the standards we need.
17 Sep 2025 15:47:21
One Walter reason I posted names was Romano and others refer to three names.
If I'd waited, then said that was same as my three, folk would rightly say, so they were.
So that's why I changed my stance, I do believe we r close to the end. We now have a manager existing game to game, not good for anyone
Hope that makes sense
Copland can't believe anyone could lose log on info, love your posts.
17 Sep 2025 15:49:24
If Potter gets sacked from West Ham would anyone take him and Billy Reid?
17 Sep 2025 15:49:32
I'd take Steven back right now, if not sooner!
Knows what it takes and I think he can work with the squad we have.
17 Sep 2025 15:54:51
At this point I'd take the lunch lady as manager.
17 Sep 2025 16:07:13
Stevie G for me?????.
17 Sep 2025 16:10:02
Gerard for me, has the respect in the game and the professionalism. and a point to prove. Neil McCann to assist him .
17 Sep 2025 16:33:24
Bear blue i will 2nd your shout on gerrard, i was also against the idea of him coming back, but i have also warmed to the idea at this moment in time, his squad was a million times fitter than any since he's left. He would have the instant respect of the squad and he would be inheriting more talent than what he had when he arrived first time round.
17 Sep 2025 16:40:28
We need someone who iant going to underestimate the league and the task at hand. I'd personally go for Robinson at St Mirren.
17 Sep 2025 16:42:35
I believe rohl could be another not well thought out choice.
I was all for a foreign manager before but think things have now changed with the amount of english based players signed i think we will need a brittish manager
Also one of the main reasons i think guys like rohl and martin are wrong is we need stability and a manager who will remain in place for some time rohl if he does well will be away at the first sign of a premier team or bigger european team
For me this puts the likes of.
Mcinnis gerrard dyche ferguson wilder
Front and centre of best choices on long term basis not looked at many more brittish candidates though.
17 Sep 2025 16:43:59
Rfc i think rodger schmidt would have been an excellent candidate before transfer window when we had opportunities to bring in thier own types of player now we've went big in english market can't see it fitting.
17 Sep 2025 16:47:41
Stevie gee must b nxt manager he knows scottish football more than the rest of the names.
17 Sep 2025 16:50:06
Excellent write up Stigno, Gerrard has been the most succesful manager since we came back up, the way he had us playing was an absolute joy to watch, when you consider how little he spent on the squad, and the clear out of the bang average squad he inherited on joining, the amount of records both Gerrard his backroom team and the squad broke both domestically and in europe was excellent,
the tiki taka and all out attack as well a superbly organised defence, i personally believe Beale (for all the stick he gets) had the squad training very hard to fitness levels none of the teams in scotland and many of the teams in europe we faced came close to matching, this allowed to take on and often beat far stronger quality teams in europe, even though Gio took us to the europa final, it was with Gerrards squad, i also believe if the board had spent more money when he wanted them too in order to compete for a place in the champions league group stage he would have stayed.
For me he is absolutely the best choice we could make right now as he would get the squad in shape again, raise the team expectations and instill both belief and discipline again, qualities we are sorely missing in the team right now and have been for some time, the downward turn for us began when he left, and i don't blame him one bit, a chance top manage an EPL team with money to spend would be hard for any manager to turn down, yes it did not work out for him, but that is a hard league to have consistent success or any kind of success for that matter, as we see season after season, Guardiola being the exception, far better managers than Gerrard have failed in that league.
Steven is a born leader and does not mess around, think your bigger than Rangers gone, think you can go to partys during covid and disrespect the fans, the club and our history your gone.
i sometimes go back to old YT videos of how he had us playing once his system was ingrained in the team, just to reminisce how good we really were under him.
Remember when he made all those young lads that went to the covid party apologise and then called them into his office one by one and ripped up there long term contract right in front of them and sent them packing despite some not having been at Rangers that long, that is real discipline and at club as big as Rangers that is exactly how you deal with a situation like that.
not to mention his goal avergage per game for / against ratio was 4 for - 1 against, we could sorely do with those kind of results right now, plus Gerrard would get a chance to bury Brenda something i think he would relish very much.
He's red, he;s white
He's Blue,
He's f***ing dynamite,
Stevie Geeee
Stevie Geeee
(slight adjustment there but it works lol)
17 Sep 2025 16:50:25
Who is Martin Romano? Everyone reporting 3 names!
A rumour spreads like fire in the wind …
No one had a clue about most of the signings and no one had it for certain it was RM until it was broke by the MSM.
The same will happen again. No one has a scooby doo what the Chairman and Vice are thinking. No one.
17 Sep 2025 17:02:18
This is just a short list but there is so many top quality managers with out a club just now, i would love the Board to go for something different and quality instead of looking at championship managers or going back to Gerrard. I would even like Barry F to get a shot as his idear of a scottish back bone is the way forward.
Rafael Benítez
Gareth Southgate
Marco Rose
Edin Terzic
Joachim Low
Erik ten Hag
Roger Schmidt
José Mourinho
Ole Gunnar Solskjær.
17 Sep 2025 17:26:54
Mj88, Robinson would love the Rangers job mate.
17 Sep 2025 17:27:47
Anyone but Stevie G don't want him anywhere near us walked away.
17 Sep 2025 17:37:36
As i posted yesterday, i was told yesterday that we've sounded out the reps of roger schmidt and allegedly talks went well ?I also have no doubt that sean dyche is in the equation here ?I wouldn't want danny rohl, as he's more of a gamble because of inexperience and the size of our job imo, not saying he's not a good young coach but not what we need ATM ?We need an experienced manager/ head coach and i wouldn't mind at all, if steven gerrard came back as he would be a good appointment imo ?Also roger schmidt and marco rose would be good appointments i feel, with a scottish assistant beside them ie. a neil mccann our former player (although not scottish steven davis etc) My first choice remains kevin muscat and has done before clement was appointed ?.
17 Sep 2025 17:53:53
Lmac Martin is the poster on this page and Romano is Fabrizio.
I think the issue here is that the candidate needs to be one who unites and will have fan backing if it doesn't start with wins from the get go. As is seen on here fans all have their own personal preferences and not sure firstly who would be best for the role and secondly who would get that universal approval.
17 Sep 2025 18:05:15
Storm the one thing about SG is he won and went unbeaten while only conceding 13 goals.
Any manager we have is ALWAYS going to accept a job in the EPL as it's the biggest in the world and now we know that he wasn't given the backing that he was promised, yet when he left we were 7 points clear and most likely going to win 2 in a row.
Now I was really annoyed when he left but after looking at it from his POV I could understand it.
17 Sep 2025 18:13:57
Lmac should the Ed's just shut down the rumours page.
17 Sep 2025 18:31:21
Any of these guys,
Schmidt
Gerrard
Rose
Dyche possibly
Think we would be back on right track hopefully ?.
17 Sep 2025 18:40:24
Lol, not often we agree John - but agree with you 100% - it's a rumours page, if you don't want to read or discuss rumours don't log in.
17 Sep 2025 18:59:39
Erik Ten Haag and Ole Gunner Solskjaer are a pair of failures in every job they have had bar one, in their home country at that. These are another two who don't have the personality or character to be Rangers manager and if they get the job Stewart will be to blame again.
As for Thelwell talking to Rohl, are we really going to let this guy pick our next manager . He should be gone in the same taxi as Martin, Stewart and Purdy .
If we pick an older experienced manager we don't really need a DOF. Let him have some younger Rangers men to assist and also make one of them chief scout instead of Purdy.
17 Sep 2025 19:00:22
John, x.com/FabrizioRomano
that is Romanos Twitter account. Too many fakes going about, but I don't understand what the fake profiles want to get out of it.
17 Sep 2025 19:39:18
Geddes, yea Gerard would be a good appointment but more so with Neil McCann by his side, as I recon that could work out perfect, McCann knows the script on being at Ibrox, and knows what he is talking about, very good to listen too, & very easy to see his point .
17 Sep 2025 19:54:13
No John they shouldn't they should encourage folk not to get salty when their opinion is questioned.
You've not got any special dispensation to post without rebuttal. No one has. There is no hierarchy on here.
You most certainly have a pop at other folks and rightly so. We all do. And it's absolutely fine. Some of us just accept it and don't moan about it or rush to defend other folk on their behalf.
EHL, we're all entitled to an opinion and to question what someone else is hearing, no? That's how it works right?
17 Sep 2025 20:26:21
Lots of grumpy feckers tonight?.
17 Sep 2025 20:38:57
Would take Gerrard back 110% he would have respect
N make us a team again
Ibrox was a fortress
We where kings in europe
Held our own against some of the best n got 56
We would fitter n well organised
N he would get the best out all our players I for one think he would be cracking n get ibrox roaring again.
17 Sep 2025 22:13:28
LMac, of course everyone is entitled to question each others posts - however my interpretation of your posts is that you're actually questioning ALL rumours unless they come from the Chairman or the Vice Chairman.
Which defeats the purpose of a rumours forum.
18 Sep 2025 00:22:06
EHL i get your point about rumnours etc but some folk post on here and its almost taken as gospel even when it doesn't come to fruition and then anyone whos not a long term poster is laughed out the room
don't want this to come as a personal attack but you've spent about 3 weeks saying he's getting sacked tomorrow etc and this person that person has been spoken to and nothing of what you said has happened.
however i hope that one of the times you say he's getting bagged it does happen :) i keep reading your posts thinking " I hope to god he does actaully have some insider knowledge"
18 Sep 2025 06:53:18
Big gaffer - if you're going to criticise other posters, at least be accurate.
Saturday was the first time that I posted that I think his time has come to an end and at no point did I put a time or date on it.
More importantly I said 'i think', I explained why and have also explained that I could be completely wrong.
18 Sep 2025 08:39:21
EHL I also used to question every rumour but realised people get too upset about it. If they have inside information my mind wants to know as much details as possible and I want to ask questions to get that detail. so they can post the rumour but I just wish they asked for more detail ? I tend not to comment now as people do get upset at being questioned. it seems the correct response is just good info or thanks for that.
re only believing what the chair or vice chair say they spoke to the FAB today and no-one on here believes what they said either so no-one can win really. ?.
18 Sep 2025 09:45:45
I'd take Billy Dodds if we can also get a translator too.
18 Sep 2025 09:59:55
I know of Ray Romano, very funny guy everybody loves him apparently.
18 Sep 2025 13:45:58
Wslgers4ever - Ten Haag won 6 cups at Ajax took them to the semis of the champions league, his Ajax teams were superb, and hard to beat of course he had a world class academy producing superb talent, in fact the last world class Ajax teams were his, they have been rubbish since.
Several of those players are at top clubs now.
Anthony there was a monster on the wing, they were scoring for fun and absolutely destroying the dutch league with ease.
18 Sep 2025 17:31:37
Has anyone got confidence in the board to pick the next manager?! They have said they want a "head coach " so surely that rules out Gerrard, Mcinnes, dyche and many others! They said they want someone who has a progressive, attacking philosophy; but look how that has worked out for us!
