Craig Moore has confirmed thst muscat didn't become head coach as he wanted to stay in China until end of November and we didn't.
He actually praised Andrew Cavansugh for his leadership.
24 Oct 2025 21:12:02
Heard that last week ows, Rangers wanted a manager in right now as well.
24 Oct 2025 21:13:41
Well finally someone else says the truth, not before time ?.
24 Oct 2025 22:47:25
Hope that puts paid to some of the ridiculous rumours.
24 Oct 2025 23:35:18
I thought it was because Muscat doesn't want to work with Thelwell and he was going to have no say in any transfers.
25 Oct 2025 09:36:32
Tav that's what the red tops printed and some anti Thelwells i'm only posting shst Craig Moore muscsts agent ssid in go radio.
25 Oct 2025 11:41:14
No, the majority wanted it to be because of Thelwell. Suits the argument nicely. We needed a manager now! And that's the reason. Rohl was immediate. Arrived, suit on, brown shoes, training sessions and on the plane to Norway. All on the same suitcase. Muscat couldn't do that so. he missed the poisoned chalice.
25 Oct 2025 12:50:32
So it's high likely that SG did walk away from on for a second time and nothing to do with Thelwell it's all SG ?.
25 Oct 2025 13:25:50
Its all a matter of who you want to believe, the owner who only gets to say it once or the narrative built up by media and bloggers who spread it to the masses. The anti Thelwell and Stewart narrative is best suited by the Muscat refused to work with them story.
People should listed to Cavenaghs version of the process which makes sense.
I'm glad Moore spoke out though, too many ex players give their opinion, which they are entitled to do, but the make is sound like they are in the know so fans want to believe them.
25 Oct 2025 14:28:53
Exactly walters. Thelwell is the new fall guy for everything. Of course his signings hasn't set the Heather alight but for some i'd say it's early days n there's potential there n some will just never cut it here but that's football.
Cany get every signing spot on. This thewell is picking the team! Ridiculous man. People need to chill out a bit. We all want a successfull Rangers but acting like para obsessed mob fae the east end isnae helping.
25 Oct 2025 14:30:09
When you say "the anti Thelwells', onewaltersmith, are you implying that there are any pro Thelwells, and are you one of the pro?
25 Oct 2025 15:09:53
Yes Strøm as i have been saying from the outset of the events. He walked away. Again.
Stewart and Thelwell were at fault for nothing in the new manager search.
25 Oct 2025 15:22:56
JBL, the majority of fans are anti-Thelwell and say someone isn't anti-Thelwell doesn't mean they are pro-Thelwell.
25 Oct 2025 17:30:16
Jimmy, i'm against Thelwell, but all I read last week was Muscat refused the job because he didn't want players signed by him and if you read online and some red tops you'd have seen that was the story people were going with, but that's now been dismissed by a guy with no allegiance to Thelwell.
25 Oct 2025 17:34:42
Storm I think Sg may have took a look at our squad and thought he'd struggle to do anything and thursdsy night opened eyes of many fans who'd been inclined to think the Russel martin style was holding them back the truth is we have a squad prob 3rd best behind Celtic and hearts when ir comes to mentality and we will struggle to finish 3rd this season.
25 Oct 2025 19:48:55
Imagine defending Stewart and Thelwell ?.
25 Oct 2025 20:55:37
Asathor, Franco, you guys live in a parallel universe. Your defense of Thelwell combined with your lack of knowledge about agency representation is astounding. and Asa claims to be involved in football. Aye very good!
25 Oct 2025 23:05:52
So Allyg72 you are saying I love in a parallel universe because I don't share your narrow minded ignorance?
Where have I not understood agency representation?
Where have I defended Thelwell as a director of football?
But by all means if it makes you happy continue to live in blissful ignorance in your small minded bitterness.
If you wish to believe the notoriously factual and honest British tabloid press then that says more about you than it does about me.
I suppose if I were to join your universe and believe the tabloid press I could join you in your doomsday bunker and await the zombie apocalypse.
I am kidding I think I would prefer to remain in the world of truth and integrity and place my faith in the chairman who has been far more transparent than those before him.
26 Oct 2025 05:21:21
Sounds like stromprooper and asa are confirming that Steven Gerrard deliberately left his settled lifestyle, family and new grandkid behind just so he could fly to London to meet the owners, then decided to just walk away after 2 days of negotiations, aye ok then LMFAO.
Both the 49ers and Gerrard were clearly interested in finalising the deal, something clearly went wrong on day 2, what exactly that was? The only ones that really know were in the meeting / negotiations,
Could it have been the funds required to build a squad capable of winning the spfl and competing in europa? the finer details of the contract? Were the 49ers team unable to finalise the backroom staff deals? Or a combination of several?
You 2 clearly detest Gerrard for some reason, you know the guy that had us smashing high quality teams in europe with a far inferior squad, winning the league in spectacular fashion, stopping what would now be 15 in a row for celtic, no doubt one of you will bring up the league win was during covid as was nearly every league in europe and beyond guess that would make every european clubs league wins less significant too.
You would rather have Muscat or Rohl who will never get anywhere near Gerrards league or european level with us, while Celtic move further ahead of us in equaling and superceding our long held trophy haul.
A blind dug can see why Gerrard turned us down, the squad is gash, we have an absolute of a defence, an unhappy fanbase, lack of serious funds, and 2 utter clowns running the positions above the manager, we suck in the league and are the laughing stock of the europa league, aye Gerrard just walked away, no manager in their right mind would touch the position with a barge pole right now, so Gerrard was smart to walk away because the club and fans deserve far better than whatever the 49ers offered, hence them going back to Rohl a second time, the clubs in regression and has been for 3-4 years now and it ain't changing anytime soon.
26 Oct 2025 08:22:16
Laudrup you are showing how much you support Rangers with that comment.
Get over it Gerrard turned Rangers down.
It is Rangers football club not Steven Gerrard football club.
Why don't you start supporting the club over a manager nestled in the middle east.
26 Oct 2025 09:01:34
Loving the positivity on here?.
26 Oct 2025 09:11:30
Fork I fear we might actually be in the minority in giving the manager and team our full backing and holding out hope of a positive resurgence.
26 Oct 2025 10:03:48
Fight!
26 Oct 2025 10:36:55
Will take time, lots too look at for Rohl, wishing for who chose not to come won't change anything, have to support the guy and let's see what he can do as quite a few have advocated.
26 Oct 2025 10:51:12
Definitely my friend it will not be a quick fix, Martin has ripped the soul from the team.
I do truly believe we will be successful under Röhl.
26 Oct 2025 10:57:28
Hagi, you sum up the situation on Gerrard really well imo. I find it difficult to accept that any Ranger's supporter cannot acknowledge the giant strides he made in Europe, after a debacle in Luxembourg only one year before.
He enhanced Ranger's name throughout Europe and it culminated with the team and system he had built getting to the final in Seville.
Only a true Gerrard Hater with another agenda deny his great European record.
26 Oct 2025 11:29:16
It's what matters now not what happened then, yes he done well, had us scaring good teams in Europe, got 55, great, but it's history, he chose not to come back, his choice, can't pine for a guy who has his own thoughts on his future, we move on.
26 Oct 2025 12:32:19
I back Rohl 100% and think he will do a very good job in time, he's been left with a squad that needs rejuvenated, galvanised and lots more. Btw just want to add SG told more than a few in auchenhowie that he was all in, then he had discussions with Thewell. the rest is history.
26 Oct 2025 13:06:01
I've been critical of management and recruitment but it is time to put it aside for a while and back Rohl to start improving things. The players are what they are until at least January and we are stuck with them. If Rohl does the right things and we still don't get results especially domestically then that will confirm that we have recruited players who are simply not good enough and more recriminations should follow.
Its down to the players now to play well in the Scottish league at least that should not be beyond them.
26 Oct 2025 14:51:44
Gotta love people still backing a guy that's walked away twice now embarrassing SG could poo on yer rice krispes and you would still
Love him ?.
27 Oct 2025 12:35:36
I actually can't believe how some many are actually stuck on Gerrard, it's almost scary. Sure he won the league and I shred a tear or two but he isn't a good manager or other teams would be looking at him and according to him, he's had offers but they weren't right, he didn't want to be considered in the summer and has walked away again. Wonder why? Money, he moved to the Saudi league for money in the first place instead of dropping to the championship like Rooney and Lampard to build his reputation, Clement turned down Saudi money for us.
I'm sick of seeing people give him credit for building a team that got to the Europa league final, he left saying the team wasn't good enough and he wasn't backed so how can you give him credit? Ross Wilson built it and GIO was the one who got us there and if we brought a striker in January that season we would of won it. Gio (champions league aside), Clement and even Beale were good in Europe. The reason we won the league wasn't Covid, it was he got 3 seasons and at least 4 transfer windows (can't remember if there was restrictions for Covid) to build a team and that's backing, everyone since and before him haven't seen a full season to build upon. He's not Walter Smith.
Koppen should still be here but a lot wanted him gone too. Thelwell and co should be gone and will be if January isn't good. The whole defence being gone next season is a disaster, having 1 left back after finally fixing that is a disaster and 10 million for Chermiti when you could of had Cerny and Sima is a joke.
28 Oct 2025 19:30:26
Cavanagh clearly said himself Thelwell and Stewart were involved in the manager appointment process. None of us know the guy or anything about him but we should believe what he says.
