    We are absolutely fucked, as it stands these idiots are going to drain the club and chase away any chance of success. Sadly I just don’t see any outcome that results in them going.

    No recruitment sounds on point given whats going on so far. His son appointed then chermiti was setting a clear marker down

  3. You got to be fucking kidding me, I thought the manager and director of football worked together in terms of recruitment so I’m not buying this no say in terms of recruitment, no manager or coach on the planet is going to join a football team with zero say on incoming or outgoing players. Cmon use your intelligence here.

    Muscat was the right man and we should have got someone interim until muscat was ready, rangers board you have let yourselves down.

  4. I don’t think anyone expected him to jump ship 4 games from a title. The fans would have swallowed that knowing that we’re unlikely to lose him in a similar position.

    Sounds like excuses from Thelwell having put off a 3rd manager in the interview process.

    Shite. We knew from the start he wouldn’t come until he finished with Shanghai Port.
    Hope all the gimps who didn’t want to wait for Muscat are happy.

  6. Owners have massively underestimated the stature of Rangers and misjudged the culture of Scottish football. A head coach with no management responsibility won’t work in Scotland. Time to ask serious questions over their ownership.

    I think we may be fucked. If these guys are making the signings, won’t budge on that and are chasing away any decent manager who is interested, I don’t see this all having a happy ending. Looking like the Leeds feeder club suggestion might be right enough. Tragic.

  8. Our board are absolutely horrendous and have absolutely fucked this recruitment process

    Surely there isn’t a club in the world that doesn’t give the current manager *some* control over recruitment?

    “No control” seems unlikely. Wouldn’t make any sense.

  10. Sources? Every bit of information has come from sources, the club have said fuck all. Someone has to come out from the club and tell us what the fuck is going on

  11. It’s 100% the latter reason, you don’t have at minimum 4 different managers walk away from discussions after meeting with our useless CEO and the other twat if it weren’t the case. Pretty much no other manager other than the arrogant vegan cunt will let someone fully decide on what transfers are coming in to their squad, the board need to get rid of those two absolutely fucking useless pricks before they do even more damage than they’ve already done

  12. Why would you want a manager in when it’s likely he’s gonna start his time here with an Old Firm cup loss?

    Letting the players & Stewart/Thelwell/Board take a period where they can be assessed made complete sense since Martin being so bad has taken heat off them

    I fucking despise Stewart & Thelwell, two utter odious bastards, fuck the pair of them

    It’s absolutely outrageous that the manager has little to no say in recruitment. Had Muscat came in and had control of the recruitment, it would have opened up his wealth of knowledge of the Aussie and Eastern Asian market, both rising markets and ones that have proved to be increasing successful in this league and in the trading model (the whole thing they want to build the club round). Instead we’ll get a spineless, yes man who will have no control over the championship/league one jobbers who are brought in as favours to previous clubs this fucking idiot has worked at.

    Unless there is a Gerrard/Muscat u-turn with them diddies fired or McInnes is somehow convinced to leave his cushy job at Hearts, the next manager is fucked before he even walks in the door. Fans will still be raging at the 2 clowns that run the club and the guy will be outed straight away as a spineless yes man like I said above. For whoever gets the jobs too, it’s very public, that they were 4th choice at best.

  14. Maybe some people think Muscat never wanted to be Rangers manager in the first place and just using Rangers to get his name about?

  15. The optics of this entire fiasco has been an utter disaster. It seems like when these managers turn us down, we have to thrown them under the bus and make some shite excuse just to cover the fact that the guys that are in charge are the real reason on why Gerrard, Rohl and Muscat said no.

    And you just know that they’ll have a guy lined up who’s a yes man to these dicks and they’ll play as ‘he was always first choice’. Can read this lot like a book.

  16. Thelwell said when Martin was appointed that they recruited jointly and thelwell wouldn’t just be signing players himself. No idea why he could have agreed to that in the first place if that’s true, then lied to the support. If so he’s even more of a wank than I thought.
