Given he was apparently backing Lampard I think I can leave his consultancy expertise behind.

Once again “we have a manager”. We would not have improved in 2nd half with Beale and probably lost the game.

Im just going to say that isn't necessarily true. Our result against Betis was only a few weeks ago and he changed things there. Whilst we can't say Beale was a good manager, it would also be remiss to be so definitive about a fictitious scenario.

Much better 2nd half, but still, the transfer window can't come soon enough. At least Danilo looks like he might have something. But a point was all we deserved.

Not sure why Lammers and Dessers got so long, can Cantwell not manage a full game yet?

The ref has been really poor. Really poor.

Dessers and Lammers are absolutely shite. This is nearly as bad as the Cyprus game. Thank feck for Butland. Sima and Cantwell have at least added some creativity and positivity but for most of the game we've been on the ropes and just been horribly reactive.

What's wrong with Ally? Love him.

Whoever wrote "the murdering Palestinian flag" is a complete imbecile.

Question about RangersTV, does the €6 a month version for UK and Ireland include highlights packages? The information on the website is appalling, it gives no info at all on what's included.

Is that the same as saying you think he should still be Rangers’ manager.

No, I agree with the time that the board sacked him.

I didn’t think it was right to sack someone 4 games into the season, I don’t think it’s a good reflection of our club either.

I voted Clement but I might as well have voted for Patrick Swayze for the amount I really know about them. I just can't quite get past that very poor period Muscat had in Belgium.

I'd happily swap the manager's brogues for the league championship trophy. I don't care if the manager goes barefoot and wears his budgie smugglers on the touchline as long as he brings success to the club.

That is sickening to hear.
 

I thought you were a Rangers man.

A blue suit and brown shoes is not the attire of a gentleman. 

As my late father would say: 

He looks like a hielan' sailor dressed up for the dancing in Kyle. 

Just seen this, I think he will be ok.

😮 get him signed up

A lot of noise about it being Clement but I’ve just seen he wears trainers with his suit and that is not on. I sincerely hope someone hands him some brown brogues before he is offered the job. We need to get the right fit for our football club.

Not convinced this is an appropriate time to throw in Lovelace, particularly when we may have a new manger round the corner. But with that said, I hope he does well and gives the new manager something to consider.

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.

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.

I think Glasner may have a better CV if he is an option. He looks like he’s had a relatively more restricted budget in better leagues and achieved success, albeit without winning a league.

If the answer to that is no then the solution is get someone in who can get rid of the duds and work within budget to bring in players who want to be here and can bring success.

Find an experienced manager who is a proven winner and that can work with a limited budget. I don’t envy the board’s job, but essentially that is what we require to get out of this mess. Either that or we need to get lucky again like we did with Gerrard.

I don't decide what's acceptable or not, I was just making a suggestion in relation to what you posted.

But you stated Lampard is in the running. Is he?  

I’ve edited my post for you, I hope it is acceptable to you.

Or just make stuff up, like Davis is going to be the permanent manager... ? 👀 

Ah well now, if we are getting this pedantic, I never said that Davis was going to be permanent manager. However, do I think if everything went swimmingly for Davis in the two games before the break the board might be swayed to keep him on longer to see how he does? Yeah, I do think that was a distinct possibility. Now we know that won’t happen though after last night.

I just saw a video of Clement talking. He sounds like he’s got a blender stuck in his throat, so it’s a no from me.

Perhaps not believing everything you read in newspapers might be a good idea.  

There isn’t much else to go on. We could just not talk about it until a manager is announced?

Someone needs to get in touch with the board and tell them Lampard is not an option. Is he still in the running for the job?
