‘A proud club dragged into gutter’ – Rangers fans on manager search

No one knows who will succeed Russell Martin as Rangers head coach until two weeks after his departure.

Steven Gerrard was touted for the position, but he turned down the chance to take over in a second citing reluctance due to timing issues.

Danny Rohl, the former manager of Sheffield Wednesday, withdrew from the conversation after the discussions ended, but he is now reportedly back in the running.

The Australian’s desire to see the league season in China was the catalyst of a deal to appoint Shanghai Port manager Kevin Muscat, which ended on Sunday.

Fans outraged about the search for a new manager after their team was held to a 2-2 draw at home on Saturday against Dundee United failed to lift their spirits.

Michael: Thelwell and Stewart seem to be getting too much involved in first-team affairs. Both of them must depart. The deal should have been made if Gerrard and Muscat had been wanted by Andrew Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe because they are the “bosses.”

Isobel: If the club was so desperate to hire someone right away, why proceed? The club was aware of Muscat’s situation at the beginning. Given that he was in the running for a second title, it is utter incompetence and breathtaking arrogance to believe they could have won. In this ongoing mess, the entire management team, including the Americans, have dragged a proud club into the ground. I actually feel for the players who were left leaderless, rudderless, and hanged out in the middle of it all the way through.

Neil: It is becoming clear that Thelwell will be the issue if the new manager wants to have control over hiring. The owners must now assume control and demonstrate their ability to run the club.

Stuart: I’ve been supporting this organization since my late father’s passing in the late 1970s, when I spent thousands of dollars watching them on television across the UK and Europe, and this is arguably the worst I’ve ever seen from top to bottom. Poor management, poor recruitment, and poor boardroom selection. Thelwell and Stewart must leave because they are merely making fun of what was once a proud club while doing it.

Sonny, take the board. I assumed it was impossible for the Americans to manage to remake the club into a bigger mess than the previous one. There are few great candidates left, and we are a laughing stock. embarrassing .

Brian, what a mess and what an absolute shocker from the people in charge, Stewart and Thewell, who couldn’t even perform as a pantomime horse, could not possibly be held accountable. I’m completely lost, almost depressed.

Alexander: Thelwell and Stewart appear to be the main culprits. Get rid of these two if they are the cause of the delay in closing a deal. The size of a haphazard running ram is unacceptable. The owners won’t be up for much of this nonsense; perhaps an empty Ibrox and no longer renewing season tickets will convince them.

Ange is free, Stephen!

utter chaos, Gavin. I’m sure he would enjoy a return to Glasgow if Ange is available right now, at least!

Chico: It seems very necessary to replace Ally McCoist and rebuild for the upcoming incredible seasons rather than to continue using a fan-freak-and-pressured head coach.

Elyag: Get Giovanni van Bronckhorst back; he should never have been fired.

Michael: Barry Ferguson deserves better treatment, at least he has heart. Before serving as interim manager, he did a good job.

Ian, it’s so obvious. Ferguson and his staff in the backroom were reinstated. Recovering the shirt’s meaning, credibility, passion, and integrity. A champion, a top international player, and a master of the game with unmatched club knowledge. Second-rate coaches are no longer required to apply.
