Impossible task. Even to nominate a 'least bad' player defeats me. It's equally difficult to suggest the worst performer. Send them all a dildo. Yellow, if possible.

We might well need trebles all round.

Probably the wrong third....

Do you spend a large part of your life muttering, "Well, who would have thought that would have happened?"

A vegetarian? Ffs!! When the players, clearly, have to be fed on raw meat, that's all we need.

I don't see why not, particularly if the Yanqi have been, at least, consulted. The reason that a temporary answer (not, note, solution) is required is because there was no plan B - that is, presumably, beyond selling up. Most concerning, in any event, is what happens when/if the deal bites the dust? A 'temporary' coaching team in situ, none of whom has had a successful management career, and none of whom have worked together in a coaching capacity, does not inspire confidence. 'Fans' in the Boardroom, ffs!!

I'll see your Haliday and Novo, and raise you Scott Nisbett, and Ian Durrant.

Ferguson, Dodds, McCann, and McGregor. Lee McCulloch would give the Parks a Full House.

Train wreck interesting

I think that you need a few 'hopefullys' in there, my friend.

A somewhat bold conjecture.....this is Rangers, after all.

I think, from the LUFC example, that the takeover may proceed by a process of accretion, rather than by a clean sweep up of all the shares. I could be wrong. The initial appointment of Charai was a trifle odd, and under a longish contract, unless it was intended to make him Manager, when PC, inevitably left.

My point is that something should have been in place. Unless, of course, there was, and the Dollar Boys put the steever in. Recruiting an Assistant Manager, some few weeks ago, on a longish contract (i I r c), did seem a little strange, when it was pretty bleeding obvious that PC was on borrowed time. Unless, of course that was an appointment, before anointment.......... (I think I mentioned this, somewhat tongue in cheek, a few days ago.) Overall, I think that Ibrox decision making is almost wholly reactive. That may be due to having nobody actually in charge, beyond the nominal.

Sacking him now gives everybody -you, me, the coaches, the manager, interim or not, everybody in the football department- a chance to assess the players, rather than focus on the failing Manager's failings. I think QP and St Mirren, both a home, rendered his position untenable. A hunted, and haunted, man in the dugout is not what I should wish to see. And, of course, you have to take into consideration the effect on the man himself. Dismissal, if such it was, may have done him a favour -in all likelihood it did.

By the time all that is through, the Club might be in a worse state than China. The point is that we face months of improvisation and ad hockery, again. If you think that the way forward, fine. To me it is symptomatic of a lack of foresight, or of even the foresight to see that foresight is required.

The Board has had weeks -if not months, actually- to consider PC's future as Manager. If he had 'turned things around', significantly, the Board would have breathed a collective sigh of relief, at having no decision to make, and he would have continued in his role. Clearly he hasn't done so. It also looked increasingly unlikely that he would be able do so. The Board could have elected to muddle through, evading decisive action, or to have sacked him. The results and performances v QP, and St Mirren were so poor as to force a decision on his tenure and Rangers, again, is now sans Manager. Surely, the board had a Plan in place, for replacement of management and coaching staff: it is not as though this situation occurred overnight. PCs position has looked increasingly untenable for some time. The only reasons for not having an alternative available, in short order, are that the Board would perhaps have had to circumvent the Director of Football, who is close to the Manager, and/or Boardroom politics and factionalism; and let's not forget the mooted purchase of at least a significant %age of shares by an outside consortium. Hence we have some temporary, ad hoc, arrangement, while somebody 'searches' for the right fellow. Truly, a camel is a horse designed by committee.

Barry Ferguson until the end of the season....per the Daily Record.

Luca Chianti! Italian for - 'Look a chantie'!

One way of avoiding publicity, I suppose.

Yes, and it is rumoured that he will be in interim charge with Kevin T as Assistant. (Vide supra) It is also rumoured that M. Clement agreed to waive 50% of his contractually entitled pay off. Did you just leave him at the check in, or did you escort him onto the plane?

Rumoured, also: Coaches coming up to first team level: Brian Gilmour & Colin Stewart.

Rumour: Clement, van der Heyden and Rae offski. Charai -the Moroccan chap- to be interim boss, with Kevin Thomson to Assist.

FFS, Lads!!! It's St Mirren at Ibrox. (I'm doing the team talks, until Pacino arrives )

I was going to post merely a laughing emoji thing, but realised that you might not have been joking.
