BEARGER 1,829 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Thursday, 07 December 2017, 21:40 by Rangers Football Club 3 THERE has been a great deal of media speculation regarding the appointment of a new manager. We assure all supporters that they will be the first to know when we are certain we have someone with the correct qualities required by our club. The Chairman made it clear at the AGM that the club did not consider there to be an outstanding candidate among those who had applied for the position and the club was therefore considering managers currently under contract. This requires permission from their present clubs. The position of Rangers manager requires an ability to win football matches and the mentality to cope with the demanding off-pitch environment that goes with being the Rangers manager. This is a critical aspect of our assessment of any candidate during the interview process. After the two games against Aberdeen, we requested permission to engage with their manager to assess his readiness and willingness to consider the Rangers position. This was declined. We were subsequently made aware by Aberdeen’s statement that, at this stage in his career, it would be best for him to remain in his current post. We endorse that position because moving to a massive club like Rangers is a big step with concomitant risk. We continue to consider candidates but will only appoint someone in whom we have full confidence and who feels he is ready for the job. In the meantime, we have great confidence in Graeme Murty, who will continue as interim manager at least until the end of the year. The manner in which he has approached this task is a credit to himself and the club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,356 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Did we really need to come out with as negative a statement as that and effectively have a go at McInnes? I'd hoped we had more class than that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hoped we had more class than that. All over the place ! It's more reacting to events without due thought. Should have slept on it and said something that made sense and sqaured with what had previously been said. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darthter 542 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I actually think its a good statement....blunt, but to the point. They wanted to speak to DM, but we're denied. Interest ended, move onto next person/people. The club obviously feel that DM did bottle it, and have effectively closed the book on him being appointed anytime in the foreseeable future. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffer 1,665 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Did we really need to come out with as negative a statement as that and effectively have a go at McInnes? I'd hoped we had more class than that. I think it was always going to be a tough one to find the right balance. Having said that, I think this is more an attack on the Aberdeen statement than an attack on McInnes, but it's very softly worded in my opinion. I think we're now looking for things to criticise the club for. Good luck Murty! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 4,808 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Traynor been in the pub again? It's a Traynor like statement. Long-winded, with holes, complete with sarcsastic dig. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McHeuss 0 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Trust in Murty!! If he knows he will be in charge for another couple of months means, he will have a different approach to everything involved with the first team. Now it was more or less game by game. He can win an Old Firm for Rangers, thats what I am a 100% sure of! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
