Pointless. Never watch them.

I disagree. Pressers can help set the mood between fans and any new manager and boy do we need that connection at the moment.

Joshua Barrie and Chris Jack are mainstream media as well. 

Are they? They work for independent podcasts. Which mainstream outlet do they work for?

To misquote Mr Han Solo..."I have a good feeling about this...".

Who's Clemente?

Shit. The e is at the end of Phillip...

Doh!!!

I've seen a lot posts fearing that Clemente may be another Le Guen in the making but I'm not so sure. For example, Le Guen won 2/3 titles in France but was the heavy lifting and ground work not essentially done by Jaques Santini in the preceeding years? Granted, Le Guen still had to win the titles but from what I can gather from Clemente, he's had a significant impact on 3 Belgian clubs based on what he's introduced to the club. 

Only time will tell.

Unless we continue to look garbage and don't win any cups, only an idiot would do that.

 

First two things I'm looking for: win the league cup and give Paedo FC a tough game at the Piggery.

I also want to see significant change in the style of the team and the overall desire/attitude of the players. If those things improve, the two things you have listed will take care of themselves IMO. 

I was leaning more towards Muscat but I'm more than happy with big Phil. Welcome to the club big man. 

Muscat purely on communication and directness. 

Go away for the day and we win 3-0. I'm happy with that and in our current managerless state I care not how we've achieved this. Right, Rangers. Get a bloody manager sorted out now. 

Got a funny feeling we might play well? Not sure why? Maybe the law of averages suggests we have to turn up in one of these games soon. Good luck Rangers. I'm away for a very long walk with no technology.

Muscat is not even my first choice. 

 

The board have played a blinder with this Lampard talk...

 

Jerry Stiller is how I imagine myself when I'm older

100% this. If it’s to be Muscat and we wait till December we will miss out on silverware and European progress. Trade off I suppose.

Maybe Muscat can do team talks on Zoom...

We could use him now imo

Leave him at Hearts to flourish. Why bring him back to our current shitstrorm?

Tottenham were garbage last season. They looked like they needed a complete clear out. 

 

They signed a couple of players (two starters) and lost Kane, but mainly have the same team but are top of the league. 

 

A competent manager makes a big difference. 

This ☝️☝️☝️☝️ With gigantic bells on

Good but one swallow does not make a summer. Long may he keep it up. And then come back to us.

He’s weakened the squad. Of all his signings so far only Butland & Sima look successes( Danilo should do ok once he’s back)

I hear you but I think we need context. They've all come into a highly dysfunctional team with a manager who was making it up as he went along. I'll reserve my overall judgement until I see them in a functional team with a manager with a plan. Even Dessers.

Someone on the Heart and Hand podcast made a very good point about hiring Muscat, a lot of the Japanese players contracts are up in December and Muscat would potentially have great knowledge and pull for the players that would be worth signing on a free. It's possible that it could swing the appointment in his direction as it's clear we badly need to fresh players even after the summer investment.

Said as much in an earlier comment regarding Muscat. Celtic utilised timing of contracts and the end of the Japanese season with Hatate and Maeda. There a lot of South Americans playing in Japan also. For example, the key player in Muscats current team (Yokohama F. Marinos) is a Brazilian striker (Anderson Lopes). He is one of 3 Brazilians in the squad.

Their league is miles ahead of ours in quality IMO.

Rumblings now that Muscat is an outsider and Clemente and Jansen are still very much in the frame.

Why are they that high? 🤣🤣🤣

Ibrox Noise now saying Muscat out of contention. The list has shortened 

Are they reputable?

I cant

1 minute ago, RANGERRAB said:

Seems 5 names under consideration. Clement, Muscat & probably Knutsen are 3. Dunno who other 2 are. I suspect Glasner might be one of them.

Immediate availability may rule out Muscat if he’s staying in Japan til December 

I can't see Knutsen leaving Norway tbh.

It's a tough one.

 

I'd argue that Muscat's loyalty to his current club is a positive trait. And there are great value signings to be had in the Asian market, so his knowledge in that area could be a real positive.

 

What do we do for the next few months though? There's too much at stake for us to have a rookie caretaker manager over that period.

The league race maybe over before December 5th but your concerns are valid. I share those concerns but I think we would regret not getting him. The rise of Ange in the EPL will only cast the spotlight further on Muscat IMO and someone will grab him in England.

Knowledge of this market could be a game changer IMO.
