der Berliner 3,247 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 From tonight's match programme (via FF) Director of Football and permanent manager appointments imminent. In his programme notes for the Premiership game against St. Johnstone at Ibrox tonight, Robertson has stressed they have been “forensic” in their search for a director of football and manager in an attempt to get the appointment right. “There is no confusion or turmoil inside Rangers,” he said. “There has always been a clarity of purpose. “A management team resigned and is about to be replaced after an intense and detailed process, which was absolutely necessary given the lack of progress on the playing front so far this season. “We simply could not be hurried into making appointments which might not have been correct for the club’s long term development. “It is important to remember just how far Rangers has come in a short period and to keep in mind that we are still laying down foundations which will ensure a successful future. I am confident the new manager and director of football will drive us towards that future. “Our search has been narrowed down to a few outstanding candidates, who we believe possess the necessary skills and attributes. We have been deliberately forensic in our search, studying every detail of each manager’s character, his work and his style and we have sought many references for those who have stood out from the rest. “Above all though, our next manager will be someone who understands that defeat can never be acceptable. Rangers is synonymous with winning and we will select a manager who is also a winner. “Frankly, results must improve and so it is vital that we appoint soon. Doing so will also allow our new manager a few months to assess the current squad while formalising his summer recruitment plans. Again, the funds are there to support the new manager.” 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,329 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 There was a rumour at the game that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in the directors box tonight. However I had a look and didn't see him. Possibly a wind up but you never know. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly a wind up but you never know. Would have been a bolt out of the blue for the media. Actually, we should have whipped up a name an spread it on the boards just to tango the media here ... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,247 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Sky Sports ... @ScotlandSky: RANGERS LATEST | @SkySportsNewsHQ understands Gary Rowett has met with #Rangers board to discuss managerial vacancy at Ibrox (1/2) https://twitter.com/ScotlandSky/stat...973056/photo/1 RANGERS LATEST: Pedro Caixinha one of a number of candidates for #Rangers manager's job; new boss may not be appointed before Old Firm game On a sidenote, Vadimir Weiss plays for Caixinha's side in Qatar. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,247 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Caixinha, currently manager of Al Gharafa in Qatar, has previously worked as manager of Uniao Leiria in Portugal and Mexican side Santos Laguna. He previously served as an assistant manager in Portugal, Greece, Romania and Saudi Arabia. He completed his coaching badges in Scotland. https://stv.tv/sport/football/1382070-pedro-caixinha-emerges-as-frontrunner-for-rangers-job/ What he might bring to us is some knowledge of the talent out there in the places where he have been. Portugal and Mexico do have a few decent footballers, and we know that some talent is out there in Arabland too, albeit on hilarious wages*. * I would assume that e.g. Vladimir Weiss has earned enough cash to sustain his and his family's life, so money might not be that important any longer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
