Reports of Wolfsburg putting Rohl at top of their managerial targets list. Could be better swayed to return to his homeland with a team who have faltered drastically this season?
Any truth in this anyone ITK?
07 May 2026 11:30:10
He could take Skov Olsen back with him. ?
07 May 2026 11:31:45
Best for all parties. Will get more time in his own country.
Will be a great manager but we don't have time to be a platform for learners.
07 May 2026 11:37:32
If true, as much as I back him, his family are in Germany, and I think he would be stupid not to take it if offered.
07 May 2026 11:37:38
If he is tempted and accepts, this would be a setback for Rangers.
Currently, he has assessed the players at the club and knows what we need to go forward.
Now, he has made some monumental mistakes, but even Guardiola makes mistakes.
I'll stick by what I have always said, and that Clement should never have been sacked, but, in all, it doesn't always matter about who you get rid of, more about who you bring in.
Chopping and changing management isn't working at Rangers. We need to build. Hopefully, he stays.
07 May 2026 11:45:32
We need to get the right man in the building, end of.
No point holding on to a manager and giving him time when it simply will not work.
Rohl is a trainee manager currently, and Rangers require better.
Didn't help, we had Thelwell and Stewart messing around as well at the start.
07 May 2026 11:54:39
Ally, who is the experienced, winning manager you have in mind coming to take over?
Souness, Smith, Gerrard were all trainee managers, mate. Alex McLeish was in the job 6 years when he took over. Alex McLeish finished 2nd in the league in his first season at Motherwell.
We offered the job to McIness years ago. He rejected it. Alex Neill?
07 May 2026 12:22:12
Rostosto
You left out Gerrard. Available and experienced. And now ready to return.
07 May 2026 12:33:24
Would he want the job? Looks like they're almost certs for relegation this season. Sadly, I agree with AllyMc62 here. Rostosto, it's not really to do with experience, plenty inexperienced managers/coaches who haven't won anything can still get a team playing a certain style, you can see what they're trying to do. We've not seen this yet with Danny! He's had that squad long enough now that we should at least have some sort of identity, some sort of style.
We don't! There's been nothing, week by week we don't know what we're going to be watching. We need someone who can at least show us what they're trying to achieve. Give us a bit of belief. Can you honestly say when that team steps on the pitch you know what you're going to get, that you believe they can win any match.
07 May 2026 12:33:26
Whatever the decision, it has to be made early in the summer before the players come back from pre season. I'm not chasing Rohl out the door, after all he took the job when others turned it down, and given the awful squad he has inherited, he's done not bad, up to a point.
If we decide to part ways we need to go for a manager not a coach. Someone with the personality to run the club, pick the players and the coaches, and be the man. All Rangers top managers fit this profile and that's what we need.
07 May 2026 12:33:48
This would be a great move.
07 May 2026 12:36:47
Just my opinion but I definitely think Danny Rohl will be our manager next season. ?
07 May 2026 12:38:05
I included him in my list of managers who had no experience initially.
If Gerrard doesn't win the league in yr 1, do we give him another 2 years?
Back Rohl, give him til the end of next season. Hopefully, he learns from his mistakes.
07 May 2026 12:47:43
Media nonsense, most likely he was linked with them last year, so probably just them looking back at that.
As for what actually happens, idk, personally I think it's more the players than it is Rohl, but I understand others' opinions.
07 May 2026 12:53:15
Gerrard back is an awful shout. The problem with Rangers is the fan base. We don't give anyone time and the boo boys think we're too good for X or Y manager. Let's not forget, more than half of us didn't want McInnes before he went to Hearts. Lampard was also laughed at by our fans when linked.
The shouts of Rohl to be sacked are abysmal. The guy has done wonders with a team that we all said was never Rangers quality, thanks to Martin, Stewart and Thelwell. Give Rohl next season with players he brings in, that suit his style of football. I love this club but the fan base are absolutely toxic.
07 May 2026 13:02:58
Irvine Blue, the fans simply see what's in front of them, and have so much scar tissue that it's unbelievable. A manager, however, who refuses to blame mentality when his team can't play 90 minutes just infuriates them all the more.
Will Rohl be a good manager one day? Yes, very probably, but he is a project and Rangers are not a project. Not to the so called toxic fan base, anyway.
07 May 2026 13:06:25
IrvineBlue, fan base has certainly grown extra impatient last 5 years. Not sure when we set the standard of if you don't win the league in half a season, you're gone. Funny feeling that probably doesn't apply if you're Gerrard.
07 May 2026 13:07:11
I have been vocal in my backing of Rohl, and I don't believe he will leave this summer. The planning for the summer is too far in and I think Rohl would have been made aware of any interest from Wolfsburg long ago and would he want to manage them in Bundesliga 2 if relegated?
He has a good thing here with the board, and communication is something he's said he needs, including in his time at Wednesday, so I think it's funnily enough broken in an Old Firm week and will go quiet again next week.
07 May 2026 13:12:08
But this is a recurring issue under every manager since WS. Regardless of the 11 on the park or the manager. We've ultimately failed under every manager since WS, barely winning everything. Let's not pretend that us bottling games, leads, cups is a new thing under Rohl. It's been happening pre-Gerrard. This whole Rangers isn't a project stuff needs to go, this isn't the 80s, 90s, early 2000s anymore. We're not attracting huge names, players or managers, neither is Celtic.
Even some of these Scandinavian boys we are linked with don't think we're the right path for their development! And anyone who says our fan base isn't toxic is laughable. The treatment of Tav and Gio is a prime example. People wanting Clement back and he was booed for 3/4 months solid. In that team right now, Rohl has what 3 players? And 2 when fit look solid in Rommens and Naderi. It's not his team!
07 May 2026 13:15:10
I'd be curious to know if AC would be aware that Rohl could return home for family if offer/job came in. Maybe Rohl has a clause to suggest he could, but I'd have thought, given the complete f*** up of RM, that he would have made sure we got sumone who would likely be here a few seasons.
Rohl hasn't even had a season yet. All this manager talk is making me very uneasy & giving off groundhog day vibes.
07 May 2026 13:15:55
Maybe as fans some of us do jump the gun a bit. Everyone is different, unfortunately for myself, I have no patience. It's not one of my virtues as my auld faither used to say. It doesn't make us toxic tho, we All love this club! Just want what's best for us all, and as we can see everybody has different opinions on what we think is best.
If Danny's here next season, I for one will be 100% behind him, but I'm not ashamed to admit I'd like to see someone else at the helm.
07 May 2026 13:18:49
Spot on CalB & AyrshireMurphy. Also, apologies, DeBoer, I sound a bit too confrontational, but I don't mean it, mate. All said with passion at heart.
07 May 2026 13:25:54
Agree with above comments too. We let Rohl go and it's a huge mistake. Let him get his players in, and from what I believe, is already in motion as a post from days before has said there's potential of 4/5 already in the door. Look, it's going to be a rebuild, doesn't matter if it's Rohl or someone new.
I genuinely believe that if he gets his players in then he has his style, his depth and we go from there. I'll be the first to apologise if he gets sacked before next Christmas! But you can just tell, there's a great manager in Rohl. Mark my words, he goes to Germany and becomes a top level manager after Rangers.
07 May 2026 13:31:50
You only have to look at Gerrard's comments about no fans during Covid, or the comments about misbehaving fans, make it hard to sell the club to players.
Clement did it a bit more subtly with his comments.
I don't want to call it "toxic", but clearly it affects the coaches and players.
07 May 2026 13:41:08
So who do we get if not Rohl, getting fed up with this. We went for tried and proven managers in the past, Clement, GVB etc.
07 May 2026 13:56:39
I see why fans are backing Rohl and saying he needs time.
But he's been here 8 months, and we've moved from 6th to 3rd.
We've gone out of both cups to Celtic under him, and finished 31st in Europe.
I get he hasn't signed all these players, but he's had enough time to implement a style of play, and it's still not there to be seen.
Yes he's young, but like others are saying, we are not a project club.
I know we're not going to get Klopp, no fan is stupid enough for that nonsense, and I wouldn't want Gerrard back either.
Muscat was always the right choice imo.
07 May 2026 14:09:12
Danny Rohl to remain with Billy Reid, or Ian McCall brought in to replace his German assistant who's allegedly leaving at the end of the season. ? Both Reid and McCall are very good coaches imo. ?
07 May 2026 14:17:57
Rostosto, I'm with you on this one. Think it's a mistake, he came in and steadied the ship. No surprise that same duds under Thelwell and Martin have let him down.
Sorry, but are people blind to this?
Everyone would need time in this situation. Think of the players he's had to play, and I mean had to, for lack of decent options. Does anyone really think we are in the same position if Naderi and Rommens stayed fit? Yes, we have been really inconsistent, but first comes horrendous (Martin), then comes competent, then decent, then champions. Give the guy time to get them together.
Honestly, I think people wanting him sacked are way off on this. Just look at Clement at Norwich, same upturn when he was with us, but instead of backing him or doing everything we could, us and especially our board, who I always had issues with but many here praised beyond belief, actually made his job way, way harder rather than easier, and again Rohl has had to take more of a role in the club after Stewart and Thelwell sacking.
Bring someone in that can take pressure off the manager, and give him more time with players someone he approves of to help him next season.
07 May 2026 14:18:55
I have been vocal on wanting Rohl to stay over the last few months. Give him at least next year.
But
over the last few weeks I have had issues.
Motherwell game. Formation, how we set up. You could see what Motherwell were doing. Players out on wings, yet we stayed narrow.
His poor decision making.
Can't change in the middle of the game. Been saying this before Halliday mentioned the other day. (He must have read on here. ? ?)
Waits until half time.
Motivation of players an issue. Is that them or his fault. ☹️
Strange subs at times.
Not bold enough, reactive instead of pro active.
That's just a few.
07 May 2026 14:30:19
Let's be honest, only in a few individual games have we looked like a decent team. The rest of the games we have struggled, either by individual mistakes from players or just being outfoxed by opposition managers. I don't think Rohl has done anything great, but he deserves a pre season to see what he can do, and hopefully get a system drilled into this team that becomes second nature, and a higher fitness level on top.
If he wanted to go back to Germany, I wouldn't be crying into my pillow either. Do I think he could win the league next season? Probably not.
07 May 2026 14:50:31
We need to stop getting rid of managers. We just need to look at Arsenal with Arteta, they trusted to keep him in the role as they seen what his goal was, and they have been battling and almost winning the league for a few seasons, and now they have the chance to win league and Champions League.
07 May 2026 16:11:25
Quite right, NewIbrox, and he has a few England internationals in there with the right mentality.
07 May 2026 16:52:38
The same people who criticise Rohl's refusal to change things but want Gerrard back? People, serious, look at Gerrard's time at Rangers with tinted specs.
07 May 2026 17:08:02
Coopersdad, we are not a decent team though. Martin and Thelwell seen to that. Anyone that thinks we can just bring soemone in and do a complete 180 in performance over a season is kidding themselves on. Its still mostly same players that we all branded horrible recruitment.
Aasgaard no surprise.
Miovski not delivering.
Chermiti always a risk, slight improvement.
Antman never really performed that well.
Fernandez brought on by Rohl, Martin never gave him a sniff now look at 20m possible due to Rohl.
Gessama inconsistent.
Rothwell less said, better one who shocked how bad, surprised me.
Cameron. Rohl possible proved right, not done much Aberdeen.
Moore definite improvement under Rohl.
Aarons nope.
Djiga up and down.
Cornielious jury out but nope for me.
Meghoma done a small turn.
then we have Rohl window.
Skov shocked at how bad, me and plenty of others sure he would fire, total opposite, shadow of the player I knew.
Chuckie decent by all accounts, still young and could improve.
Rommens looks class.
Naderi excellent work rate, no issues, would like to see him as main man for stint when fit.
3 decent signings outta four, another win for Rohl in my book, just maybe not what we needed to win league now but good options long term and by all accounts thats what owners are going for.
Think we will see a lot of problem players leave the club in summer, smaller better quality squad and supliment with odd youth hopefully.
07 May 2026 17:30:25
Why would it matter how far the planning was for the summer? Managers leave clubs all the time.
And the link has come from German media. Why would they be bothered about breaking the news in an Old Firm week?
07 May 2026 19:49:47
I get a bit fed up with the OF cup losses to Celtic being held against Rohl. We played the cup semi with 10 men, fought back to take it to extra time and had a chance from Gassama to win it before extra time. Some strange refereeing had something to do with it too.
We dominated the game at Ibrox and only missed chances and missed penalties cost us the game. Players like Aasgaard, Chermiti, Tavernier and Gassama are to blame, not Rohl.
