Who do you want to be the next Rangers manager? 

[CammyF 6,781]

No Paul Le Guen on the list? Heard he's mean to be the next big managerial hot-shot. I hear Barry Ferguson speaks highly of him.

There's absolutely no chance Gallardo will come to manage in Scotland.

[Graeme Ro55 649]

Marcelo Gallardo, aka "The Buldge" 

[Whosthedado 1,494]

That list terrifies me

This is a trap.

 

If you vote for someone that never played for Rangers then you will get banned.

Quote

The Rangers board have at least three names they want to speak to in their search for a manager.

Chelsea legend Frank Lampard, former Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder and ex-Gers defender Kevin Muscat are three they would like to speak to as they look for Michael Beale's replacement, according to Glasgow World.

The report claims that a shortlist has already been compiled and that trio are on it along with some others.

Others that have been mentioned since Beale's sacking are Kjetil Knutsen, John Eustace, Ralph Hassenhuttl and Pascal Jensen, with the AZ boss and Muscat reportedly keen to hold discussions.

Former Chelsea and Brighton boss Graham Potter has reportedly ruled himself out

 

I hope the shortlist isn't too short because I think he would be an absolute car crash at Ibrox. If he is given a contract then we are in bigger trouble than we feared.

Wilder and Lampard? No thanks. Does not inspire me in the slightest. 

 

Muscat on the other hand comes across as no nonsense kind of guy who won't take any shit from under performing players as well as the media. He's straight talking and has worked under Postecoglou therefore that for me is a win, win. IMO he has been unfairly labelled as lucky as he inherited Postocoglous teams but during his time in Japan he lost 5/6 starters yet still won the title with team with a small budget whilst playing pressing and attacking football. Muscat has a lot ticks in the of pros column.

 

1. Has won league titles in 2 countries.

2. He has worked with Postegoglou.

3. Plays high pressing and attacking  football.

4. Speaks English.

5. Knows about the rigours of the British game.

6. Is straight talking and passionate. 

 

No one else being mentioned has won anything apart from Galardo but even then he won 1 title in 7 years at River Plate. And does he speak English? 

 

I get the impression that many fans are resistant to Muscat as they see it as us copying them with big Ange. If it brings succces, who cares?
