I know, but I wanted to use your full quote. To be fair, that's my main issue with Ancelotti. I don't know how we'll play, or even if he can implement a style of play. He does have some interesting ideas around the structure of the coaching staff, etc. I wouldn't be disappointed, but the unknown is a concern of mine. I mean, everyone knows what Ange and Rodgers do, too...

How very Rangers Compo, talking about sacking the manager before we even know who it is! 😆

I’ve got a mate who supports Southampton and messaged me the other night saying pretty much the same thing, that Russell Martin was never a particularly popular manager, even before they got promoted. He confirmed the whole "if plan A doesn’t work, do plan A better" mentality and also said Martin had a habit of blaming everyone except himself when things went sideways Couple of direct quotes from him: “He is so horribly smug.” “Even in the Championship we got hammered by anyone decent. Got promoted with something like the 7th worst defence in the league.” “He’s never improved a team or finished above expectations.” Unforunately, he made no comment on this.....

Whoever gets the post we all know that after a few bad results the majority on here will be clamouring for his removal in fact we should open a book to see when he gets sacked

We don't know what Ancelotti -and, importantly his coaches, fitness, medics, etc.- will bring as head coach to Rangers. Therefore, we can't assume that he would be 'Gerrard Mark II', can we? We do know what Russell Martin will give us, and if that is what the new owners want, then God help us. "Ah've goat an offer tae go tae The Rangers. The block in charge is Russell Martin. (Ah know! A hipster, wi' nae Plan B.) His burd's goat a crackin' perr, but."

McCoist?! The golden boot?! This thread is about the impending departure of Dessers.

Well we can look forward to having a team that will make sure they finish mid-table if Everton are anything to go by🙄

Feels like there is a word to describe his posts.

Another reason to despise the fellow.

Heard on the 4Lads podcast the other night, Steve Clifford was saying Russel Martins Southampton team, the year they won promotion to the EPL finished 4th. Got in via a good playoff run. Conceded a lot of goals, didn't defend well. Saints fans had said there were games they were needing a late goal with minutes to go and the team were passing the ball about at the back. On the plus side his girlfriend has massive boobs.

Best of luck Nils. Once a Ranger always a Ranger. A shame he had to move on without even a chance to say goodbye to the fans.

Tactically, we have no idea how Ancelotti will set up, so that statement is rather unfounded. We know exactly what tactics Martin employs, as will every other manager in the division.

If the new owners employ Ancelotti any excitement and positivity from Friday instantly disappears. Gerrard Mk11 is not what we need.

Ancelotti looks strong favourite at this point imo. Worked at Everton with Purdy. Thelwell and Purdy have been in the works for a while it seems so this might be why Ancelotti is in the picture at all.

Generally not over Moshiri's (sp?) spell, but over the last few years their fans have been quite happy with the signings made under Thelwell's stewardship, in very difficult financial circumstances.

I haven’t kept up to date with English football at all I have to confess, but I thought Everton were not known for shrewdness in the transfer market. Would like to see a report card on his signings. I’m holding out hope we get a helping hand from Red Bull like Leeds have had.
