Al-Gharafa have published the following statement: ‘Pedro Caixinha denied the existence of negotiations with him to take over the responsibility of training the team Glasgow Rangers, stressing that he has a contract with Al-Gharafa and there’s no truth at all to it.’ http://sportwitness.co.uk/no-truth-caixinha-rangers-talks-rubbished-qatari-club-manager-denies-talks/ The only way it merits a statement from us is if for example Robertson came out in the press previously and said we are close to appointing him or talks are underway or something. He's not said that. All the debate on this Pedro guy becoming manager is from media reporting, not from anything that's came from the club in an official sense? For what it's worth I think this Pedro guy is going to be our new manager. There's too much momentum in the media now for it not to be but Rangers don't need to comment on that statement at all.

ritchieshearercaldow 22,123 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Confusing, the papers have got Pedro as the front runner, it must have come from someone or someone is trying to make us look bad. (Wouldn't be hard ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all want answers and transparency but you're right - they can't possibly release a statement on every bit of media speculation. I'd like to see more statements but on calculated, top, thought-out, justified targets - which we don't do either but releasing statements galore because of someone denying something in the press would devalue any proper statements we do make, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did the press ever need a source when discussing Rangers? They make it up as they go and if it is something the club challenge we get a one line retraction hidden in the midst of all other news. They're fabricating the list of candidates cause they know nothing but still need to sell papers and get hits online. theiconicman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boybluesy 3,693 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 If someone is offered either position but turns it down our second choice will forever be known as our second choice. Board won't allow that to happen hopefully. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transparency was the word they frequently used they took over but that's never really happened. I'd like to see them be a lot more open with us. However not in the sense they should deny anyone we're linked with. I actually think having lot's of names thrown about is useful. As a prospective manager going in for talks you'd have it in your head that there's a tonne of competition for the job which can only be a good thing for us.
