Well...fair to say this is a diabolical start for the manager tonight! He really has got one weak as piss bunch of players to work with.

One tap-in and the thread is reignited That's the power of Jude

The best managers in history have got games wrong from time to time. Rohl will no doubt fall the same way but he'll be judged on how he quickly he adapts to things that aren't working, and if the players are able/willing to follow whatever it is he wants to get out of them. I do hope he gets...

Can only really echo what No.8 said re. Muscat. Proven winner in different leagues, ex Rangers player so 'gets the club', exciting style of play etc. Where Rohl is concerned I think it's mostly suspicion of bringing in one of these young "head coach" types and that's fuelled mainly by how much...

I reckon he was higher on the boards radar than all of them but they've felt what the fan backlash can be like with the whole Martin debacle, so their approaches to Gerrard and Muscat don't feel like anything more than playing to the gallery. I think Rohl was who they wanted all along. How do...

He can probably float under the radar and approach the job with more freedom than previous managers have because the fans already have their sights set on those above him. Plus he can't possibly perform worse with these players than Russell Martin did, can he?! Wish the bloke all the best. He's...

You're getting closer to being the "outstanding candidate" they keep banging on about.

Stevie from 4lads apparently saying they have someone lined up and it'll be officially announced on Thursday. Fk knows why we need to wait that long if it's a done deal and who the hell this man is at this point is anyone guess. Probably Thelwells second cousin. Some laugh following this club...

Yep. Good old "timing" the issue. More likely he's had a meeting with Thelwell and Stewart after all the ground work had been done to get a deal in place, he's had direct contact with the imbeciles he'll be directly answerable to and thought "fk that". Not based on any fact tbh but that's my...

Muscat deal confirmed off. What a shit show

Supposedly further meetings with Thelwell and Stewart and now Muscat is apparently looking like walking away from the job. Just bouncing from from calamity to another it's getting more ridiculous by the day at this club.

Only saw the first half yesterday. Thought Rangers played really well at times (compared to the low bar that's been set this season). Aasgaard showed some real flashes of quality including a screamer of a goal. Antman looked more positive and willing to take men on. Rothwell impressed me as well...

Well look, if you're basing it off pure, dispassionate logic then obviously the best man for any position at a football club is obviously the best, most qualified man for the job. Best in class etc. And if Rangers hadn't brought in guys who are failing miserably in their roles and not showing...

He didn't say that man needed to be the manager, more someone within the coaching or board setup who has been there and done it at the club and knows what the standard is or at least should be. He referenced David Weir as someone who would suit the sporting director role in the club. That's what...

What Rangers fans want as far as I can tell is to, if not win everything domestically then at the very least be serious challengers for every trophy going in Scotland every season. And European expectations, at least as far as the Europa league level is concerned have been raised by how well...

That last bit will remain to be seen I guess. Martin came away from his ideals quite often because plan A mostly went to shit in every game but there was an air of desperate throwing shit at the wall hoping something would stick about Martin's 'adaptability'. We can only hope Rohl is a bit more...

Very good post mate and definitely helpful to apply context to what he's done so far in what's still a very short managerial career. I think the key difference is. There's really no telling how this Rangers squad matches up man for man against the rest of the league because it's been coached...

Regular European football and a club with a real rich history and heritage, 50,000 fans at Ibrox every other weekend etc. There's plenty of appeal. Unfortunately plenty that would put managers off at present too.

It was asked rhetorically tbh to set up the rest of the post. Who knows if doing a job like that at Wednesday will stand him in good stead for possibly walking into Ibrox and all that comes with the job there at present.

What job did he do at Wednesday? Took them from relegation fodder to mid table? 38% win rate overall? That's just what I'm reading as FF dissect the crap out of his record. Such a young guy as well. I think he's just seen as far too similar to Russell Martin who was pretty much universally...
