Aye sorry mate, I just don't think the guy that hangs out with gangsters, let's his daughter get involved with gangsters, gets pished and goes out whenever he wants, is going to be dictated to by his Mrs suddenly.

Well said, too many willing to overlook this.

How was it Gerrard's unwillingness? We had a Director of Football in Ross Wilson who's job it was to move on and sell players, not Gerrard. Let's not forget the board didn't want to sell certain assets as they were gambling on the squad going invincible again to the league title to secure UCL while they squandered our funds on NEH, Museum etc And yes I can say that with certainty, the guy effectively does what he wants, evidenced by his social media. He traveled to visit family last time, he agreed to manage in Saudi, and that was even more traveling, sure Alex would be buzzing that he's closer 😂 Lot of revisionism going on here.

I see Livingston' s ground is now known as the "Home of the Set Fare Arena". Whatever became of Tony Macaroni?

Honestly dont even believe they have had contact with him , which is a good thing.

Part of the reason for the lack of funds was Gerrard's unwillingness to sell players - let's not forget that. Can you say that with certainty?

Honestly I just can’t see the new owners having anything to do with Gerrard he’s got to many connections to the wrong kind of people and I wouldn’t like these people in or around the club .

True, but would these other teams struggle against Motherwell?

Did it? Exit wasn't hasty, he was fed up with being told we had no money and a decent offer from a richer club came in. He isn't dictated to by his wife.

I’m not overly bothered about how Gerrard left last time. Let’s be honest, if he came back and had us top of the league by Christmas, most fans wouldn’t care either. For me, the bigger issue is his backroom team. If the rumours are true and it’s Davis and Henderson, then it’s a firm “no thanks” from me. I love Steven Davis, he’s one of my all-time favourite Rangers players, and I wouldn’t mind Henderson in our midfield for a season. But when it comes to coaching, who’s actually setting the team up? Where are the tactics coming from? Gerrard is a great leader, but he’s never been the one on the training pitch drilling positional play or shaping our in and out of possesion shape. That was Beale’s role before and Beale’s not coming back, nor would I want him to. There’s also the question of whether Gerrard's ego can handle being a head coach rather than a manager. If the club decides to sell a player, that decision needs to stand, regardless of whether Gerrard agrees with it or not. I get why some fans would want him back, and I’m not dismissing what he did for us, but for me, we need a fresh start. If it turns out Gerrard is the one we go for, it will be pretty deflating

Hasty? He is our longest serving manager in the last decade is he not?

Yes, but remember how that ended with a hasty exit to be nearer his family, amomgst other things

As I mentioned on another thread, he lhas been at the Training Complex very recently. Might not be related to the vacant managers role.

I was thinking January, when we have won all our games, 12 points clear and flying in Europe but I decided to stick to facts rather than speculation.

For the record, Gerrard's wife didn't move to Scotland when Gerrard was here previously.

Not sure Rangers can force Gerrard's wife to say yes to him working in Glasgow or force Ancelotti's contractual obligations to disappear at the best of times, never mind when we're in the midst of a takeover. We all know the current board aren't great at decision making or getting things done quickly.

Dynamo Kiev last season was evidence enough. We should have beaten them and RB Salzburg. We were not prepared enough. We are never prepared enough. It’s not a big deal though, it’s not as if there is about £30 million riding on these games or anything.

probably also August
