Anyone heard Barry ferguson until the end of the season? No sources just heard from a mate.
14 Oct 2025 09:54:20
Nope Ferguson already said he'd never take the job on a temporary basis again.
14 Oct 2025 10:13:55
Ferguson won't be back as manager.
14 Oct 2025 10:29:41
Tbh it would be very difficult for Barry to turn it down imo.
14 Oct 2025 10:32:57
If he is being considered good enough till the end of the season, he should be considered good enough for a permanent post. He's a better option that some on the alleged list, such as Muscat for example.
14 Oct 2025 10:40:19
If Ferguson was to take the role we should do the same as Celtic done for Ange end of season contract and have a clause that if he impresses he will get a 3/ 5 year contract.
14 Oct 2025 11:18:50
If Ferguson gets the gig we'll be lucky to make top six!
14 Oct 2025 11:23:52
Hopefully.
14 Oct 2025 11:29:40
Dothebouncy, after that statement you need to back it up. How is Ferguson better than Muscat?
14 Oct 2025 11:37:44
With the names mentioned including Stevie G., be lucky to get that anyway.
14 Oct 2025 11:39:42
Do the bouncy, how is Ferguson better option than Muscat? Other than he's available right away as nobody wants him. Punted from Alloa and Clyde.
14 Oct 2025 12:04:49
Hope not. 4 wins out of 12.
14 Oct 2025 12:09:30
I don't want Muscat anywhere near the club, he's working in a diddy league with diddy players. Frankly, as has been said before, Falkirk would win that league. He knows nothing about the club, the league, the players or the expectations. It's simple really. I firmly believe Barry Ferguson would have had us at the top of the league now if he had been appointed.
14 Oct 2025 12:26:02
DoTheBouncy you must be at it here? Are we talking about ex-Rangers Player treble winning Kevin Muscat who shared a dressing room with Ferguson, Malcolm and McCann to name a few? How on earth would he not get it.
Barry - as much as I love him - hasn't succeeded as a manager anywhere and failed upwards to even be entertained by Rangers, where as Muscat has won EVERYWHERE he's went, I don't care where that's been - winning is winning. Dunno if you want to peer across the other side of the city and see what their winning manager from "diddy" leagues done in a short stay?
If we follow your logic here, he's winning leagues with Diddy players so surely when he comes here and competes against teams the standard of Falkirk with our multi-million pound squad it should be a cakewalk, no?
Should get a 5 day cool off from posting for spouting that kind of nonsense.
14 Oct 2025 12:15:44
As some people have already said, Ferguson's record at the end of last season was poor hence why he wasn't offered the job full time. Going back to him as an interim again reeks of desperation and would be really unfair on him.
I don't think he would touch it under these circumstances. We seem to be experts at making people offers they can't accept. If we did go for an interim until the summer, who are we waiting on to appoint?
14 Oct 2025 12:18:34
I agree do the bouncy.
14 Oct 2025 12:27:16
The other lad that came to scotland from diddy leagues didn't do to badly. He absolutely obliterated SPFL. Also anybody from scotland at moment calling any other league a diddy league is a joke ??.
14 Oct 2025 12:27:16
Muscat played for the club and he's in a league with huge money, just a wee bit more than Falkirk I hear
I firmly believe Muscat is the right man and Ferguson isny.
14 Oct 2025 12:28:57
How does muscat not know the club or expectations. You do really he played foe us so I'm sure he knows exactly the expectations ?♂️.
14 Oct 2025 12:31:46
Forzapapac madness mate ??? recall ange doing not bad from these diddy leagues.
14 Oct 2025 12:53:13
Forzapapac has sent DTB to the naughty step.
14 Oct 2025 12:53:53
Muscat played 22 games for Rangers, I stand by my comment - He's a dud. Sharing a dressing room with a dud like Bob Malcolm, a bigot, means absolutely nothing to me, Malcolm is a knuckle dragger.
14 Oct 2025 12:59:08
It's an unbelievable post Paul, I'm at an absolute loss for words past what I've already wrote and there's other agreeing with the former!
Brutal man.
14 Oct 2025 13:08:13
Ange! Enough said. Flawed logic at its finest right there. The quality in China certainly isn't any worse than here in Scotland.
14 Oct 2025 13:17:39
Muscat all day long. Ferguson was a great servant and I'd admired his playing. Forever grateful. But. I also think he's as thick as mince and not got the nous to make Rangers a success. It takes more than slapping your chest and swearing your love. Muscat all day long.
14 Oct 2025 14:54:20
Played 22 games in the treble winning season. Last Rangers team to win a treble. That don't sound like a dud to me ?.
14 Oct 2025 14:55:49
1872Blue - Don't talk nonsense like Forza has, Muscat may have played alongside players who won the treble but that knuckle dragger played little or no part in it. Brought in to be a hatchet man, absolute caveman of a player. He will be lucky to last until the end of the season, pains me to say this but he will be found out probably quicker than the last imposter was. If this is the best candidate we can identify there is something very wrong with the recruiters we employ.
14 Oct 2025 15:37:33
I don't think he will play probably just coach / manage! but the team will toughen up for sure, first class choice and the vast majority will see it that way.
Just wondering which treble winning manager signed him as a player?
14 Oct 2025 15:45:29
Was it not the case that Muscat never played in any of the old firms because McLeish felt he was too hot headed for the fixture?
By the way, if Malcolm is a bigot and a knuckle dragger you must put Ferguson in the same bracket seen as they're best mates.
14 Oct 2025 15:46:28
Dothebouncy this sounds more like a personal grudge than a balanced argument.
1. Played for Rangers ✔️
2. Knows club✔️
3. Plays attacking football ✔️
4. Won trophies in 3 different leagues and countries. ✔️
Not bad for a Dud.
Do you have Sky Australia, Sky China or Sky Japan
Interested to know how much football from these countries you have watched.
Diddy players did quite well for Celtic the last few years.
Who is better and who do you want.
14 Oct 2025 16:15:44
Bob Malcolm close pal of Barry Ferguson. that Bob Malcolm?
14 Oct 2025 16:13:31
These fans saying muscat in diddy lesgue?
Answer: Ange postowhatshisnname.
14 Oct 2025 17:49:10
Pieter do you have these channels? If not, I suggest you stop asking ludicrous questions. 22 games doesn't mean he knows the club, the league, the players, the support or the expectations. There is no point in speculating who I would want as my view is unimportant in the bigger scheme of things.
The people who are well paid to make these decisions have let us down big time not only with the imposter they appointed but by sticking by Thelwell who is clearly out of his depth. Yet still you want to think they should be trusted to choose the right manager?
14 Oct 2025 17:50:54
DTB - I've only contributed 1 gentle quip to this string. Where is the nonsense?
14 Oct 2025 19:44:07
That's right Dtb don't let the facts get in the way. So this is your opinion. Which is absolutely fine. But you have made a judgment based on absolutely nothing.
You have backed nothing up. What's ludicrous is that you have made statements on quality etc without actually seeing his teams play or any team for that part of the world.
You can't even back up who you would prefer. Another assumption on who I trust to make the decision. You don't know my thoughts on Thelwell or Stewart.
What's the alternative as they haven't invited me to have a say on the management. So that statement is not even relevant.
14 Oct 2025 20:59:32
So where are the answers to my questions then? How many games have you watched? When did you last watch a game from the Chinese leagues? When did you see Muscat making insightful changes to his teams formation! As for your assertion that Muscat knows the team and the league, he played 22 games 23 years ago. Been quite a lot of changes over those years, maybe you noticed? Now I've read all your opinion and I disagree. You seem to want to dig me out for my thoughts, opinions or whatever you want to call them. This is a discussion site, again you may have noticed. If you don't agree with me, believe me when I tell you that I don't care. Everyone has their own opinion.
Now, relating to an earlier comment, yes Bob Malcolm is a friend of Barry Ferguson. He was his assistant manager at most places but not at rangers, ever wonder why? He's a bigot, pure and simple.
14 Oct 2025 22:35:07
Think he played 26 games, at one point 6 clean sheets in a row with him in the side.
He was rough but also took loads of stick and never ran to his mammy like a few did whingeing about him.
14 Oct 2025 23:14:23
DTB, I like you have not seen any but my arguments are based on the facts. Titles, cups equal Success. I have never claimed they are good or bad. Going by the stats that are factual he has done well. Your argument is getting more ludicrous every time I read them.
There have been a lot of changes. You are trying to focus your argument on the 22 games he played.
On that alone you suggest he will not make a good manager. Slagging the quality of player and standard you have never seen.
No substance in it what so ever.
You stated he was a dud. Based on absolutely nothing. Look up his success rate
As I have said before discussions are generally better when backed up. Instead of deflecting
Like I said earlier don't let the facts get in the way.
If he is appointed, will he be a success no one knows but he ticks all the boxes. Out of all the candidates he is the best option on the table.
On Bob Malcolm I think that might have been another poster who mentioned him.
14 Oct 2025 23:17:04
Crazy attitude to have against muscat considering his record as a manager and wven as a llayer with us winning a trebble yet many had no problem with rohl with no titles and 1 job to his name and no scottish experience.
15 Oct 2025 10:07:13
Some kids want Fergie, Fergie wanted McCann what a crazy mixed up world it is.
Bob Malcolm getting abuse for no reason, from people who would wet their y's if they had to face him with it.
I know some guys that know Bob well and he is sound.
15 Oct 2025 10:56:47
Incredible betting patterns emerging Steven Gerrard now installed as favourite even money and shorter. Has there been further negotiations going on behind the scenes, or are bookies manipulating odds to get some more easy money. Strange times, I am not getting too carried away with this.
