I don't know, which one are you talking about, that it's done or not?

I'd guess he gets info to help dictate the narrative sometimes.

Guess.

It fits for me, it was leaked down south and its caught fire big style, Rangers lost control of the story and I'd imagine they wont hang about and will announce it pretty much straight away, not least due the McInnes debacle. also fits with the sunday mail article

Steven GerrardĀ will be the next Rangers manager, providing three issues ā€“ so far unspecified ā€“ are resolved between the former England and Liverpool midfielder and the Ibrox board.

The Sunday TelegraphĀ can disclose, however, that spending on players is not one of the outstanding matters and that Gerrard has been assured that he can make a case-by-case argument for cash to be released for preferred transfer targets.

The same arrangement permitted Mark Warburton to sign Joey Barton on exceptional terms and also for Pedro Caixinha, during his brief reign, to bring Carlos Pena and Bruno Alves to Ibrox for wages that were cited as necessary to add exceptional strength to the playing squad.

Gary McAllister, the former Leeds United, Liverpool and Scotland midfielder ā€“ who managed Coventry City, Leeds and, in a caretaker capacity, Aston Villa ā€“ will move to Ibrox as Gerrardā€™s assistant if the remaining issues are settled. The agreement in principle with Gerrard is a further blow to Graeme Murty, now in his second spell as interim Rangers manager.

On Sunday, Murty leads Rangers into the cauldron of an Old Firm derby at Parkhead, in which a celtic win will assure the Scottish champions of a seventh successive Scottish title.

Murty, who had been told by the Rangers board that he would be in charge until the end of the season and would be considered for a longer-term appointment on merit, declared defiantly on Friday that if he saw the team to second place in the Scottish Premiership he would have fulfilled his job remit.

Aberdeenā€™s home win against Hearts on Friday pushed Rangers into third place, a situation not likely to be altered on Sunday. Moreover, Rangersā€™ pursuit of Gerrard has effectively put Murty on notice ahead of a supercharged Old Firm derby, only two weeks afterĀ celtic crushed their arch-foesĀ in the William Hill Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden Park.

Really hope I'm wrong and this works out well, just feel very meh about it.Ā 

Hopefully this news coming out doesn't have a negative effect on tomorrow and instead makes the team up their game for a new manager, can only hope.

Depends which ā€˜newsā€™ you believe!

Seems to be a raft of conflicting views coming out?

Doesnā€™t sound like the ā€˜eye-wareringā€™ sums being bandied about are going to be available, reading that!

The Telegraph knows there are three specificĀ rules but doesn'tĀ knowĀ what they are?

That sounds a bit odd.

Find it hard to believe that they've been told specifically that there's three "issues" but they don't have a clue what any of them are.

Hereā€™s the catch.....

Three things ? Money for salary, money for player and mark Allan signing players he doesnā€™t want. What else could there be and to be honest they would be the only questions worth askingĀ

Are they not apostrophes?

Good spot!

Theyā€™re being used as speech marks, though!

(Edit - itā€™s also late & Iā€™d forgotten the word?)

I see. So it's double " if it's a direct quote from someone in the 1st person.

Something like that mate.

"King laterĀ said in an autobiography that nobody bought, 'It was a stupid mistake to appoint Gerrard, I don't know what I was thinking.'"
