Alec87 331 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Instead of targeting someone, why don't we advertise the post and see who comes forward. I reckon there could be some very decent candidates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammer93 15,137 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 It would maybe be a break from the norm, where would it leave us if their wasn't a big levelof interest due to the boardroom shambles? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxi 11,713 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Top story on SSN is decent advertising, free as well.As mentioned, people will get in contact via agents if they are looking for the job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I don't think DL is the type of CEO that would go out on a financial limb and advertise until he knew what was affordable. Adding expense when he is on a campaign to reduce costs would - I think - not be a natural risk for him to take. When the certainty of finance is there then and only then might he consider appointing from outside the Club. Besides which if the Board mindset is moving to recognise a real risk that promotion might not be gained this season (certainly winning the Championship is a cause that is all but lost barring a remarkable reverse of fortunes), then a permanent managerial appointment would wait until there is certainty of promotion or not.

Ger77 742 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 We cant afford to appoint a new Manager?, can we afford not to?When we dont get promoted we will have many asking why we gave McDowall until the end of the season instead of getting a proper Manager in.

Sweetheart 8,458 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 i'd like Rangers to take their time choosing a manager. I'd hate for us to have a succession of managers in and out.

I'd have had McDowall in charge against the bottom team, rather than have McCoist in charge and then have a 'new man' going to a team that's played us off the park twice this season. I'd be gobsmacked if McDowall is indeed in charge for the rest of the season and McCoist serves out his full12months on gardening leave.

One of The biggest criticsm the board have of McCoist was his loyalty to king.... They won't trust anyone who has ties with McCoist. The board now have all the aces with McCoists severance deal and he will be clever enough to realise he will have to take a vastly reduced pay off Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop 654 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I guess it's because we're not financially stable at the moment and wont be for the foreseeable future. That kind of situation isn't going to make it easy to convince someone to leave a job to come to us. The story should hopefully be better by the summer.
