Gandhi1872 186 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Just posted this in another thread. Hate to say it but a better article from Ralston at the Record. Opposite from the Sun article and gives some good info on what they're looking for. Rangers will ramp up the search for a new boss this week - and will definitely bolster their bench for the visit to Celtic. The Ibrox board will appoint an interim manager to ease the pressure on under-20s coach Graeme Murty if the man they want on a permanent basis not available immediately. Rangers have drawn up a list of half a dozen candidates for the roles of first team boss and director of football, with up to 60 serious applicants for the manager’s position alone. Interviews will begin in earnest in the coming days after soundings were taken last week, with a spread of candidates from the UK and Europe emerging for both positions. Rangers will not be rushed into making a knee jerk appointment in light of the 2-1 defeat at Dundee, which has taken their recent dismal run in the league to just one win in six. If an outstanding candidate emerges in the coming days and is ready and willing to take up their post straight away, they will be appointed before the trip to Parkhead on March 12. But if they are not available until the end of the season, Rangers will happily wait for the right man and put a senior figure alongside Murty for the remainder of the season - and maybe even before the trip to Inverness on Friday night Murty is highly regarded at Ibrox, but the club hierarchy are mindful of piling the pressure on him for longer than is absolutely necessary and maybe even compromising his fledgling coaching career. Ideally, Rangers will appoint a director of football first and involve him in the coaching recruitment process, but that isn’t cast in stone. Rangers are keen to stress the role of director of football in the management structure they favour will have no direct influence on first team affairs. He will be tasked with overseeing all football operations, which includes sports science, recruitment, youth development and scouting. Rangers also aim to appoint a head of recruitment in the coming weeks, but that’s a role in which the new director of football will have a significant imput. I know everyone might not agree with the DoF model but I think they're doing the right thing here and it all sounds good. They're taking their time to make what they think are the right appointments.

Really not liking the sound of this. the problem is that with MW and Mcparaland they had those 3 roles tied up. I am not sure that is healthy for any club as they could easily start using their almost autonomous positions to help themselves rather than the club thats paying them. Separating out the roles stops any one person having that autonomy and power. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that many of the 60 cv's they have received are from RM members who KNOW that management is easy (after all they have won the Champions League on FM2017) and all we need is a few wee formation changes a week or two's real coaching and a center half; and as most of the graduates from the RM coaching academy will (obviously) work for free I feel that by charging minimum wage that you might have priced yourself off the short list. Besides we need new management ideas - brogues?? So old fashioned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
