Not sure I like the I'm busy til Thursday bit...mate you've been offered the best job in the world, cancel all plans and accept now 

It should be but isn’t anymore that’s why Stevie g is even in the frame to be our manager

it will either be a master stroke or a total failure that won’t even last the season, but it’s as good a shout as any when you take everything into account

With a bit of luck, it could work.

The way Lineker was talking to him it sounded like SG had told him it's a done deal but that it's not going to be announced until Thursday.

Just got in.... extremely happy by this. The biggest story at our club since Gazza. I wish you all the best Stevie.

But where will we get the funds for anyone he might attract ?

I just hope some good players fancy coming here to help gerrard atop the manky bastards from getting 10. Of course the finances have to come for this. We cant get any worse than we are right now.

Yeah sourness was an excellent appointment, now I can't wait to see Joe Hart, John stones, Kyle walker and Harry kane all strutting their stuff at ibrox next season sourness style. 

Apart from the fact they were both ex Liverpool captains they pretty much have nothing in common taking charge of us

Neither has / had any management experience, they have that in common.

I like this point.

If I was a good, hungry player, I'd relish the chance to come up here to work for Gerrard and represent Rangers with the task of stopping a scummy team win 10IAR

Gerrard will get more money than any other manager we bring in, why?

He’s Dave’s mate and hero. He aint bringing his buddy in to hang him out to dry.

Might see a miraculous recovery from all ails if Gerrard comes 

Gerrard will be the lads idol more than likely.

If anything he should be even more determined to get himself sorted out to prove to his idol he has what it takes.

Aye, got the impression that Lineker was enjoying having a wee bit of fun with it, knowing that Gerrard can’t say anything yet, although they both know what the script is.

Our board, that is the sticking issue., Penna is 1.5 mill spunked away, should have got rid of IT at shortgate

Cruz has been very clever saying he is an alkie

In fairness, if Pena sorted his issues and we got him on a brutal pre season, he’s one of the few players with some natural ability we have.

Someone like Gerrard is the kind of person who might be able to coax it out of him, but he needs to do the hard work first. Sadly I don’t think he’s got the head to do that

That's my only hope is that he has been promised a set amount of funds which I'm assuming is more than we could dream of.  I would feel a lot better if he was coming with an experienced man as his number 2 tho. 

Will admit I'm quite excited and intrigued by his appointment however after the last few managers I'm expecting gerrard to flop like the rest. 

Can't wait to see who we sign now I just hope it genuinely is players of a decent quality and not half the Liverpool youth team

U say that but most from the Rangers youth team have never let us down. The so called stars however.....

It's the so called stars that cost Pedro then Murty.  Unless gerrard can replace 8 or 9 of them in the starting line up I think it will be more the same next season. And if he can replace most of them that in turn brings its own problems with gelling the team. 

Personally I think we need to get rid of as much as 12-15 players which is a big ask

I don't think I agree.  9 first team regulars are not needed.  If we look at this season as an example, and remain conservative, if we beat Hibs in one of the 2 lost home games, beat Thistle in September in the double header week, beat Hamilton in the 0-2 game, beat Dundee the following week, and didnt lose to St J at Xmas, theres 14 points.  It wouldn't have taken as many as 9 players different to win those games.  Just a decent manager, fitness, fight, good tactics and a 3 or 4 players maybe.  Apart from Hibs, those are all struggling teams - who beat us.

He is clearly very keen to join us ........................... Hope to fuck he doesn't

Or we are in for 2 years of losing to beggars again

We have utter dross , garbage and a team full of losers . Out of that lot it will be the slightly better than pish that survive .

Those fucks will hang around like a bad smell and pass on their losing mentality to any new ones coming in

[DrLaudrup 4,684]

I’d imagine he has probably agreed salary etc but will still need to talk more regarding transfers ie who signs players, him or Mark Allen and the crucial budget questions. 

We need to get this right now. With the money we have spent I wouldn’t necessarily expect us to be top of the league but with a proper manager we would comfortably be second. Without investment though we will not overhaul them.

Lineker: "It's a great club"

Good to see us being discussed on a Champions League program with 4 great ex players. We've sorely missed this kind of decent exposure over the past 6 years.

Must be one of the most contriidictive posts I've read on RM.

We lost those points because the team are shite.

How is it contridictive?  I don't think we need 9 new players to win those type of games, I think we need 3 or 4. Fuck all contradictive about that, quite simple really.

We have full squad of also rans with a loser mentality where the only remit is keep the fans happy, it's been there since warburton took over, if they actually win anything it's just a bonus.

if you can name me seven winners in that  team I'll take it back.

I agree.  This ifs and buts is exactly that.  1 maybe 2 bad results could be excused but not when we are in double figures for them over the season. 

Ultimately it comes down to the team is just not good enough, maybe not even for 3rd place. 

Good teams with good players don't get fucked by the Diddy teams of the league om a regular basis nor smashed regularly by their rivals.  Good teams also don't struggle for 2nd spot either

It's a sad state of affairs,  we can only hope (and that's all it is) that stevie the messiah G can turn half this shower into winners from what he has been accustomed to and get shot of the other half.

i can't see it but I'll back him all the way regardless.

im really baffled to who had the bright idea of Gerrard and why this board who are in the last chance saloon would even take on this gamble knowing the fans at our wits end.
