These new guys are hopless, been in the job 2 days and still don't have a manager. FFS what's he been doing for the last 48hrs?

 

I'm at the stage that I want them to announce RM just for the shits and giggles it'll create. 

Stevie Clifford said on his podcast Thelwell has been living up here for months, and working in the background for some time.

 

Regardless, things will be moving. We just cant see it yet.

A young fellow was struggling with his homework. His father, who was reading the paper, looked up and said

'What's the matter?'

The boy replied,

'I have to write a sentence or two explaining the difference between 'potential' and 'actual'.

His father thought for a moment, and said

'Go through to the kitchen, and ask you mother if she would sleep with a strange man for 10 grand.'

The boy does so, and confirms that she would.

His father then says,

'Go upstairs and ask your sister the same question'

Again the boy does so, and confirms his sister would do likewise.

'Well', says his father, ' potentially we are worth 20 grand, but actually we are living with a pair of whores'. 

Great story.🤣

Russell Martin's imminent return to Ibrox has been agreed in principle and is expected to be confirmed in the next 48 hours.

 

Record Sport understands Martin’s appointment as Philippe Clement’s successor is now in the final stages pending contracts being rubber stamped and the make-up of his backroom team approved, ratified and signed off by the Ibrox club’s new board.

 

It’s understood Martin’s long term assistant boss Matty Gill has been lined up to follow the 39-year-old north of the border, after the pair linked up together at MK Dons, Swansea and Southampton.

 

And, as we revealed last week, former Rangers full-back Maurice Ross has also been earmarked for a key role in the coaching staff if Martin lands the top job, with further additions expected.

 

Martin and his men have emerged as the clear front-runners following a major plot twist in talks with rival target Davide Ancelotti.

 

It’s understood, over the last two days, Ancelloti has suddenly appeared to cool on the prospect of making the move from Madrid to Glasgow’s south side.

 

Ancelotti had seemed in pole position after holding a series of discussions with sporting director Kevin Thelwell and Gretar Steinsson, football adviser to the San Francisco 49ers.

 

It’s understood incoming chairman Andrew Cavenagh has also been involved in the final stages of those talks.

 

But sources in Milan have now confirmed to Record Sport that Ancelotti’s camp began to stall on a move to Ibrox at the start of this week.

 

The timing seems significant as it coincides with dramatic developments at the San Siro and the news that Simone Inzaghi is on the verge of quitting Champions League runners-up Inter Milan for a lucrative move to Saudi outfit Al-Hilal.

The DR know about as much as we do. Article full or could's and maybes. 

 

H&H re-tweeting that we are still in discussions with multiple candidates and Rangers Review saying this morning the DA still very much in the frame.

H&H haven't said anything for a day on this and what RR speculate on this morning, is nothing by 5pm.

 

Keith Jackson for some reason or another keeps getting inside scoops that have been spot on (I'm thinking King).

 

Stadium tours are cancelled tomorrow, and Record Sport are saying an agreement in principle between all parties is there.

 

Martin's the new Manager, n he's bringing Maurice Ross 😂

My big concern about Russell Martin as Rangersmanager is that, from what I’ve read, he appears to be Warburton MK II (no plan B when plan À isn’t working. Just do plan A better).

We need a good tactician who, when needed, makes effective changes during games. We don’t need another one trick pony like Warburton
