NC you are right my take on matches or managers are no better than anyone else my friend.
As for expertise well I won't claim to be an expert but here is my record for your perusal.
Sacked Kåre Ingebrigtsen domestic managerial legend here in Norway.
Promoted Eirik Horneland from assistant to caretaker and then formally new manager.
Outcome roaring success with a second tier league win, promotion, Norwegian cup win and a 3rd and 2nd place finish getting to champions league qualifiers.
Hired Freyr Alexandersson - outcome - so far very successful 3rd in league and qualified for the league phase/ group stage of a European competition for the first time since 2008.

Would would Muscat take the job to have Thelwells wee boy decide what players are getting signed?
The owners needs to get rid of the 3 donkeys before appointing a manager.
13 Oct 2025 20:20:13
Kev, he's already in a similar 'head coach' role at Shanghai Port so he might be okay with that arrangement at Rangers.
13 Oct 2025 20:38:47
Asa take no notice of people trying to bring you don't mate just ignore them.
13 Oct 2025 20:52:26
Hello jackie, i got you that paint.
13 Oct 2025 21:03:08
Like i said mate nobodys out to get you, if you are going for something then i'm rooting for you. I wish you nothing but the best.
13 Oct 2025 21:34:43
I don't see it like that my friend.
It was directed at us all.
I read it as if you don't have coaching badges or expertise you do not have a clue.
So I thought he may like to look at my record and decide for himself.
I believe everyone has a clue.
Everyone has the ability to judge for themselves.
13 Oct 2025 21:37:13
Kev surely you don't believe Thelwell's son will be the only person involved in deciding signings? 😂
13 Oct 2025 21:48:14
Haha don't try and twist my words round and aim them at other people on the site. I can see through that we trick from a mile away. I said no such thing in regards to people on here not having a clue.
What i actually said was you don't have the credentials to say your opinion is superior to anyone else's on the site. Despite what you claim. But all good pal, we can leave it there lol. I need to get ready for tomorrow, i'm on centre court and I've not even been seeded.
13 Oct 2025 22:06:39
You believe everyone has a clue, but you start a post slating a guy for suggesting Barry Ferguson becomes our next manager? Completely contradicting yourself.
13 Oct 2025 15:38:41
ASA, why does Barry not deserve a chance before Rohl?
Well apart from dealing with José n Brendan
As a Rangers player, Barry Ferguson won 15 major trophies: five Scottish Premier League titles, five Scottish Cups, and five Scottish League Cups. He also captained the team, was part of the side that reached the 2008 UEFA Cup final, and won individual awards such as SFWA Footballer of the Year in 2003.
Agree1
13 Oct 2025 16:15:59
What's his player record got to do with being a manager?
What about his managerial record?
13 Oct 2025 16:42:37
Because Rohl is the superior coach and has more potential. Barry's tactics and style was not very good to watch.
13 Oct 2025 16:51:06
TrueblueRab, Because he isn't as good.
13 Oct 2025 16:54:53
Forgot to mention - he already had a chance.
13 Oct 2025 16:55:33
I think what he means, Barry knows our team or demands and he's not scared of taken them on. Give Barry £34m I think we would be top of the league.
13 Oct 2025 17:08:23
Barry Ferguson's record is applauding. Why would anyone seriously want him back!

Asa i don't want barry far from it, but if rohl gets appointed does he get 15 games to prove himself, with someone else's players?
13 Oct 2025 19:42:04
He does not BB4. 3 points essential on Saturday.
13 Oct 2025 20:39:39
Trueblue you have got to be kidding? The fact you are asking that question is crazy.
13 Oct 2025 21:36:45
BB4 I would expect to see progress my friend. He will improve the current group.
13 Oct 2025 09:46:02
I need to get this off my chest.
Yesterday I asked what should be an easy question to attempt to understand the rationale behind this.
There were posts yesterday advocating the return of Barry Ferguson and some of these posters were also dead against Danny Rohl so I ask once again why?
I was told that I just didn't understand well that is why I am asking.
I also said that Barry Failed at Rangers as manager.
I was told I just didn't understand rangers, Glasgow and the Glasgow fishbowl for daring to say Ferguson failed.
I was told to stop calling him a failure.
Why do I get the condescending treatment and told I don't understand the club when those from Glasgow and surrounding areas that share my view do not?
I also called Gerrard a mediocre manager.
I was told I must stop with that.
I ask why? In my eyes it's the truth.
Rejection can be difficult to deal with and we should help eachother out who are struggling to come to terms with the rejection.
I keep getting told this is a rumours site and everyone is allowed opinions.
I agree and would never stop that, we should all still be able to question to better understand the opinions.
Agree9
13 Oct 2025 10:47:27
Maybe because some think you don't understand the goldfish bowl in Glasgow Asathor?
I'm really getting bored again with this now mate.
Maybe the truth too you, as this isn't a dig either, actually tired of posting it no.
Gerrard gets players instant respect, full backing in Ibrox, Rangers lifted big time after Martin, Ibrox bouncing, I understand you don't see this and that is very fine but don't tell me I wrong when that all happens under Gerrard, am done on these subjects anyways and hopefully it doesn't happen all over again this day Asathor, if it does am out having a breather, I'm more interested in things posters have got too say about our next manager.
13 Oct 2025 11:16:02
No my Star it is a petty immature excuse of an argument used by some to invalidate any opinion I have.
For one I know what Rangers is, I know it is one of 2 clubs called the old firm and I do not need a geography lesson I know Rangers are based in Glasgow.
I have similar opinions to others based in the west of Scotland but I am the only one responded to with these condescending remarks.
I want to talk about the future but I will comment on the past if it comes up.
13 Oct 2025 11:22:28
Personally, I thought Gerrard would have brought a huge buzz back to the club. It would have given the whole club a huge lift. Whether he would been a success or not, I don't know.
13 Oct 2025 11:22:33
Asathor, I only said please stop calling him a mediocre manager because we all know that, but you continue mate.
13 Oct 2025 12:11:03
I've got to say this even if it's not posted.
Asa! You have got to be the biggest drama queen on this forum. You really need to stop taking yourself so seriously. I know the majority of us on here do.
13 Oct 2025 12:11:27
The goldfish bowl though Asathor.
13 Oct 2025 12:41:19
Maybe Asa if u didn't constantly post about how your being treated. Glad your back because Your a good poster and your regularly told so but u don't half go on about being a victim. There's plenty of disagreements and different opinions without taking everything personally.
Unfortunately at the moment.
13 Oct 2025 12:43:08
Am afraid the support are at an all time low and the anger will be here until we have something to get behind which could be a while, the appointment of Martin will haunt us for a while, Gerrard appointment would of been a safe bet in the majorities eyes especially with the right team behind him and that safety net has been pulled away.
13 Oct 2025 12:43:15
Hit send too soon. Unfortunately we don't have any outstanding candidates coming forward so people are being critical of them all. The sooner it's sorted the better and we can just get behind the new man.
13 Oct 2025 12:48:35
You are 100% spot on Asathor.
Ferguson was rank rotten as interim Rangers manager.
Just as he was at his previous positions at Blackpool, Clyde and Alloa.
The only place he was a success was at Kelty Hearts but for whatever reason decided to move on ( his prerogative ) .
Take away the name and legend status as a player and he wouldn't even get a foot in the door with that managerial record.
And as I've said previously, if you put a blind CV from Gerrard on the table with his record, he also wouldn't get a foot in the door.
Gerrard is a comfort blanket for those who only remember the outstanding league winning 55 season and none of the failings.
People on her are fawning over a manager who isn't that great but also isn't willing to compromise to take the job.
13 Oct 2025 13:36:52
I don't get this blind cv stuff, he's got a cv which like it or not will always get him a foot in the door probably especially if things don't start getting better soon.
As much as people think he was a poor manager he still one a league title undefeated and turned the club from 3rd place laughingstock to competitive in europe.
Anyway he's not coming now, out of the options we have MPH who would you take a blind CV from and appoint?
13 Oct 2025 13:52:57
Spot on MPH, i wasn't bothered one way or another if SG got it, i didn't really want him first time round and for sure if it was any other manager other than SG who took 3 years to get the league won he would have been hounded out of the club. but oh no its SG he is a legend. he was on a downward trajectory and got even worse since he left. everyone is quoting stats to justify whether we should employ the next manager or not. think he was 29% win ratio in england and 44% in Saudia.
if he got it i would support a 100% and will the next manager. the damage RM did will take a long time to get over and us fans wanting 100% win rate will just not happen.
13 Oct 2025 13:54:24
Gerrard would have lifted the Fans and the players. His choice of backroom staff would have maybe given a better run if he were to have came back for a second stint. I warmed to his return for his affect he would have on the team, as there is no one bigger in football at our club than him. No player revolt or questioning his decisions. I think the boys would have started to enjoy their football again, as I think that's what's been missing. That's why Rohl is a wee bit of a risk. Too many chancers in the squad would be trying to undermine his authority.
13 Oct 2025 13:59:49
If Ferguson was given this window and brought in the so called no brainers and a few more we would of been top or close to the top of the league and points in Europe, rank rotten or not.
13 Oct 2025 14:11:27
Very well put MPH, it all seems to be down to SG not coming and going with the board, you would fully understand wanting everything your way if it was the likes of PEP, KLOPP OR JOSE, maybe Danny Rohl isn't everyone's cup of tea, but if the man is willing to have a go at it we should at least give him the chance, as it can't possibly any worse than it was with Russell Martin.
13 Oct 2025 15:38:41
Asa you left for good reason mate.
As soon as SG refused the job you jumped back on.
Let me tell you this. I've no doubts you're fond of Rangers but see when you've been brought up in a Rangers supporting family, a family that revolves around Rangers and has for generations it's different.
You won't know that. Anytime your questioned the victim card is out and you're being treated poorly.
You're not slow and getting your opinion out which is absolutely fine! You'll just need to deal with opinions that disagree with yours.
Or you could leave again. No a dig at you mate but I hope this is posted cause you need to grow up a bit. This card is played every fortnight.
13 Oct 2025 18:00:02
Iade a post prior to any knowledge of Gerrard turning us down.
That is not the reason I started posting again.
13 Oct 2025 15:57:48
Asa, you can't stand disagreement, yet you're quick to dish it out. When folks question your claims, you get confrontational. Take the Danny Rohl discussion: someone said they were warming to him, and you insisted it was them "seeing the light." What light?
He's a promising young coach, rated by many beyond you, but people have valid reservations about his record, mitigating circumstances or not. That's their opinion, and it doesn't concern you or me. Facts are facts: he's 12th in the English Championship, with some heavy drubbings, including one against the worst manager in Rangers history. The same way Gerrard's last full league season as Rangers boss ended with zero defeats is a fact you often cite.
No one's out to get you, you're just coming across as a professional victim, a bit spoiled. In recent weeks, your posts faced more scrutiny than ever since you joined, which drove you to leave the site. We all reached out to you and each other to build bridges, stressing that disagreement isn't a personal attack and we didn't want you gone. Yet two days later, you're not just commenting on someone pushing for club legend Barry Ferguson as manager (not me, by the way), but posting to directly attack them for differing from you.
Remember, we're all faceless internet strangers - you'll never meet us, and we have zero impact on your life. We're irrelevant, pal. I meant no insult by doubting some of your claims; it doesn't warrant offense. I once worked with a guy we nicknamed "Kenny Senior" for his tall tales, but we didn't wish him ill, the man had a heart of gold.
As I was always told, "If you can't take it, don't dish it out." If you don't want disagreement, show some respect for others' views. Debate by all means, but without coaching badges or expertise, your take on matches or managers is no better or worse than anyone else's here.
13 Oct 2025 19:01:24
Kenny senior, what a man, I also worked with him, he gets about that one, he was also very close to the sas. 😀.
13 Oct 2025 19:39:43
Lol shota 🤣
Chick norris wants what? Wood chip?
13 Oct 2025 20:42:34
IMac utter nonsense get a grip.
Great post mph
Asathor I keep saying just let it go and ignore them.
13 Oct 2025 21:13:10
Very good post NC blue. I don't know Kenny senior but I do live 3 houses down from Billy Hunt. He's fond off an odd story or two 🫡.
13 Oct 2025 22:21:01
Bonnie Langford, nearly broke her back, that's it i'm away to watch Phoenix Nights to cheer myself up. Wake me up when we get a new manager.
