Rangers banter 6

12 Jun 2026 06:58:57
At least we didn't sack this one. I was happy to give him more time but in the same breath not going to lose any sleep on him leaving.

The only frustration will be the undoubtedly slow start we'll have again under a new manager, this was the main reason for not wanting Rohl to leave.

Will be interesting to see who comes in, not sure we'll have a cue at the door.

12 Jun 2026 07:55:05
"Cue" at the door, we'll be snookered then. 😉😇

12 Jun 2026 08:11:38
If there is a cue at the door, at least there will be a 'pool' to choose from. 😉

12 Jun 2026 08:23:35
Get your 🧥 at the. 🚪👀😄

12 Jun 2026 09:45:12
F***S, boys, I can take abuse for being old, being fat, wearing glasses and even starting to go bald but taking the p**s out of me being diabetic is below the belt. 😜 😜

12 Jun 2026 10:33:16
No probs, sugar. 😇

12 Jun 2026 10:36:49
Dado you have lost me. does diabetes cause bad spelling. I am sure you realise it is just a little bit of gentle ribbing. now I know you are fat, wear glasses and starting to go bald though the gloves are off 😉🙈

12 Jun 2026 06:30:40
Can someone ask the Ibrox cleaner if;

a. Rohl is leaving
b. If yes, who's his replacement.

Thanks

We've lost better Managers than Rohl. KEEP THE FAITH.

12 Jun 2026 08:12:54
Iron, we should be looking for that dog that used to give rumours on here when it ran into Tav on walks all the time. I think he was always accurate. Easy to interrogate as well: one bark for yes, two for no. 😂

12 Jun 2026 08:31:51
Lol Snowy?

We'll all know soon enough, I hope! I had reservations about Rohl, but I'm not convinced him leaving a week before pre season starting is a good thing. However, if he wants to go and is offered a job on better money, closer to his family, I can't bag him for that. I'd do the same in that scenario.

12 Jun 2026 08:43:42
Iron, I think the timing is poor, but tbh, if we choose a coach with same principles then will it be smoother. This happens all the time in football with a new manager coming in at start of a new season. All the players have been off anyway, so what can that manager do apart from a bit of planning. I think everyone thinks he does recruitment, but that is almost all entirely down to Recruitment.

Manager might get a say on which of a couple of choices he prefers, but they will be to fit our club system. Sad he is going though, as he showed signs last year of being a good coach and more so as what we really need is stability. I do await 2-3 weeks of McInnes, and Gerrard for manager threads though. 🫣

12 Jun 2026 09:39:40
Angus, a week before pre season is not ideal, I agree, but if it's to be closer to his family and he's not asked to leave, and RBS have approached Rangers and we're open to him going, I've no issues. Gerrard or McInnes 🤷🏼‍♂️ I'd rather have neither, if I'm honest, but I'm not convinced we can attract top managers just now.

12 Jun 2026 10:40:43
Gone onto a second page but I agree re choice of new managers. I hope, like players, we are a little more inventive and searching for our new manager. Also I don't have an issue with what people call project managers. But I don't buy into the SPL being a totally different league from any other so it sent as important.

There will be fans of 2nd place clubs everywhere saying the same on their forums. Rohl picked it up fairly quickly so if it is true, hopefully we do a wider search to find the right manager, whoever that is. Whoever it is will split the fans as it always has been that way.

12 Jun 2026 15:14:23
I don't think the threads will last 2 or 3 weeks, as we need to get somebody in tout-de-suite.

12 Jun 2026 05:52:17
Anyway

We got a player or two to unveil along with a manger change 🙈.

12 Jun 2026 07:59:27
So is that "away in a manger" instead of a manager away. 😉 😄 Sorry, Stig. 👍

12 Jun 2026 08:10:29
The question is, though, Thestigno1, if Rohl does indeed leave, the players that might have been lined up and well down the line for deals being done might not be done now if a new manager comes in. 🤔

12 Jun 2026 08:14:24
Whatever happens I hope our manager position becomes 'stable' soon. 😉

12 Jun 2026 08:20:28
Fork. 😂

12 Jun 2026 08:21:04
SWS, that's my worry.

12 Jun 2026 08:24:06
Double act the day. 👍😄

12 Jun 2026 08:44:20
Morecambe and nae so Wise. I'll let you decide which one you want to be. 👍

12 Jun 2026 08:54:27
Agree, Walter, losing a Manager a week before pre season is not ideal, and with no sporting director or football director who's actually been choosing these players, if not Rohl?

As I've said elsewhere, thou, if he's being offered better money and he's closer to his family or his family will go there with him, I can't bag that.

I'd do the same. I worked away for many years and missed numerous birthdays, sports days, Christmas days with my family, and I regret that now.

If he goes for the sake of his family, good luck to him.

12 Jun 2026 09:04:02
Waldorf and Staedtler, more like, it's time to cue the music, it's time to light the lights. 👀😄

12 Jun 2026 09:41:32
Iron, I'm sure we're still utilising that Swedish lad in a contract DoF capacity - correct me if I'm wrong - he'd be the same man to have picked up Rommens, Naderi, Chukwuani & the unfortunately ill-fated Olson but 3 outta 4 ain't bad!

Think we're in safe hands in terms of transfers. That could be famous last words, though, hahaha.

{Ed001's Note - if you are referring to Stig Inge Bjornebye, he is Norwegian mate.}

12 Jun 2026 10:37:52
Jury out on the 3 remaining for me, mate. Rommens, when fit, looks a real good player. The other 2, from what I've seen, are a bit. 🤷🏼‍♂️

We'll probably be in a better place to judge than accurately come Christmas.

12 Jun 2026 11:02:05
Losing the Manager shouldn't necessarily derail transfer targets or deals that are in the process of completion. That's why we have a multi disciplinary recruitment team? A new manager will want to add a few specific players before the window closes.

12 Jun 2026 15:15:27
Haudit and Daudit. 😆

12 Jun 2026 05:22:40
With Rohl all but gone, where does this leave Naderi? Most expensive 3rd teir German signing ever. Rohl pushed for this transfer. and I don't see anything special in the time he's been here.

12 Jun 2026 07:04:00
Give the lad a chance. He has played well in every game he's featured. Maybe not scored as much as we'd like, but he was doing a lot of work outside the box.

12 Jun 2026 07:09:20
He's done well with the adjustment from Germany, boy will only improve with a full preseason behind him imo. 👍

12 Jun 2026 07:11:47
Massive step up, boy needs time.

12 Jun 2026 07:12:50
If he stays fit, I think he'll do well.

12 Jun 2026 07:51:44
Shocking waste of money because we pushed to get him early, but gamble didn't pay off. Hope he turns into the new Thomas Muller, but highly doubt it.

12 Jun 2026 08:02:20
Seriously, Kaiser, thought the boys done well so far tbh. 👍

12 Jun 2026 08:16:06
I agree 10 games is more than enough for a player to be judged on. In fact, why wait that long? If he is poor in his first then just sell him. We would still have time to do that as the window wouldn't be closed.

No wonder we never win anything with support like this. 🤷

12 Jun 2026 08:33:29
Naderi came to the club's attention because his statistical data was excellent. The club then had him watched multiple times, and he impressed. There's nothing to suggest he is a poor player. He could be a wonderful singing for us. I can't understand this negativity at all.

12 Jun 2026 08:35:42
I was actually commenting on the money wasted on him and think he could be good, but yes, it was a big gamble to get him early. It didn't pay off because he barely scored and was injury prone, and, what do u know, ended up injured again. I think it was Rohl who compared him to Muller tho.

12 Jun 2026 08:36:43
We struggled when Naderi wasn't fit, he was rushed back at the end of season, also when he clearly wasn't ready. Good player.

Kiss goodbye to the 2 up top with most managers though unless it's Del.

12 Jun 2026 09:04:34
Cool it guys. Naderi will be fine. Many doubted Chermiti. I knew the boy would come good. Naderi will also be an excellent signing.

11 Jun 2026 23:33:43
Change of tune.

It seems we can now get excited about replacements.

11 Jun 2026 23:21:30
It's a small world, checked into hotel in Boston earlier and ended have a good with my daughter and Leanne Crichton in the lobby. Hoping contract talks will commence soon😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

12 Jun 2026 08:07:54
Great to see Gilmour also in Boston with the rest of the squad.

11 Jun 2026 23:03:53
Muscat who is fighting relegation no thank you absolutely crazy especially after turning us down no chance

11 Jun 2026 23:55:35
He didn't turn us down. He agreed the move and Thelwell changed the goalposts.

They also won the league last season. 🤣

12 Jun 2026 04:02:16
When did he turn us down? And he had to get rid of a lot of players in the close season, maybe research it first.

12 Jun 2026 05:27:15
Isn't it the case that Rangers tried to get Muscat but he refused to leave the club he was at because they were near the end of their season? That was the line at the time.

Rangers had a sit down with Gerrard in London and he turned us down.

We approached Muscat and he turned us down. Then we went after, Rohl. It was common knowledge that Rohl was not our first choice.

12 Jun 2026 05:50:30
💯 Rohl.

12 Jun 2026 06:00:23
RohlWithCheese, Kevin Muscat had agreed to take the Rangers manager's job and didn't turn the job down. 🤔 He wanted to finish the season with his Chinese club as they were in a tight league title fight, and would come early December once his club's season was over. 🤔
Rangers wanted a manager immediately and so we moved back to Danny Rohl and appointed him.

🤔 Muscat was very disappointed, as he was only wanting to do the honourable thing, and surely most of us can understand that, and that's the type of honourable manager you'd want, I would think. 🤔 That's from his big pal Craig Moore, who we know personally. 🤔 Muscat absolutely was desperate to be the new Rangers manager. 🤔🇬🇧

12 Jun 2026 06:17:39
Spot on SWS.

12 Jun 2026 08:11:50
The job offer was to take over immediately. He turned that down honorably or not.
Proven to have won the league by corruption, along with half the other teams, so not sure how u credit that. And had to lose players, just like every other team in his division. We have lost a lot of players close season now. Has badly struggled with managing the rebuild, which is what everyone is saying we need.

Doesn't give confidence he can manage a rebuild here. Only succeeded when following success. And, apart from Ange while at Celtic, how many managers from that side of the world have had any kind of success managing in Britain or anywhere in Europe?

12 Jun 2026 09:26:24
Muscat would be another bad call. Imo.
