So let’s see, the DoF gets the ok from Stevie that he is taking the job. He informs Stevie that they have been talking to Arflield and does he want those talks to continue, Stevie says yes. We then have Stevie saying that it’s a team effort when it comes to players with the DoF and his assistant and Stevie and his team all working together on identifying players and deciding who comes in. But Arfield isn’t his singing. ?? Ok then. Gerrard didn’t sign him Allen did. I’m not criticising I’m just stating the fact. Gerrard hasn’t even started his job yet.

I think his point is the signing was initiated by Allen and the scouting team (if rumours are believed to be true the it started in January window at which point Gerrard had nothing to do with us). Gerrard said in the first press conference that it’s about working together with Allen and Scoulding on potential signings. That means sometimes it’s Scoulding’s suggestion, sometimes it’s Gerrards and others Allen. Either way they discuss it and make a decision. So Arfield was already in the pipeline and Gerrard was announced before anything was signed therefore he was asked if he was ok with it. So scouting teams identified signing given the seal of approval by Gerrard SPWF 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mesmer 27 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 2 hours ago, Siwel said: Gary McAllister says Rangers will be building from the back in transfer market 15 May 18 NEW Rangers assistant manager Gary McAllister has hinted Steven Gerrard will prioritise sorting out their side’s defence first as they prepare to start their Ibrox revolution. Rangers ended the season in third place for the second season in a row as they finished behind Aberdeen in second and champions celtic. Liverpool legends Gerrard and McAllister will take over at Rangers on June 1 and it’s certain to be a fascinating adventure. Read more: Lee McCulloch: No case for the Rangers defence, new arrivals are vital The pair have spent the past few days in Dubai as ambassadors of Liverpool and they appeared at the LFC World event in the United Arab Emirates. The pair watched Rangers’ thrilling 5-5 with Hibs on Sunday and were spotted in animated conversation during the encounter. And the 53-year-old, who won 57 caps for Scotland, admitted the Easter Road showdown gave him and his new boss plenty of food for thought. He said: “When you watch the game and see a scoreline of 5-5 I think that kind of suggests what’s wrong... “But there’s a lot of positives too. Going forward and scoring five goals away from home is good at least. Read more: Proud Scott Arfield says lure of boss Steven Gerrard will tempt more stars to Rangers “Look, it’s going to be a tough task. “When I first sat down with Steven I saw the glint in his eye about the job of managing Rangers. I could see the hunger and desire and I’m exactly the same. “We are going to go up to Glasgow and give it our best shot. “I’m really, really excited about it and so is Steven. Rangers are a massive, massive club and it will be a great challenge for us.” Yeah, tell us something we don't already know FFS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS4_wul 4,241 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Arfield is a Mark Allen signing that was ok'd by Steven Gerrard. If he didn't want him he would have said naw. I'm certain that Gerrard already knows we need strengthened all over the park, including defence. He doesn't even have his feet under the managers table yet, wait till 1st of June when he officially starts his job and the transfer window opens. Then we should all have a fairer idea of where he is going to strengthen and with whom. Next few weeks are going to be filled with absolute media pish about this player and that player.......wait and see who we actually sign/are interested in, not listen to media shite.

backup 4,724 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I wonder will SG return to the tried and tested. "Rangers like the big strong powerful fellows, with a bit of strength and solidity in the tackle, rather than the frivolous, quick moving stylists like Jimmy Johnstone, small, tiptoe-throughs the tulips type of players who excite people." - Willie Waddell, Rangers manager 1972 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cushynumber 25,178 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 clean sheets are more important to us than a 2 goal start. So says Dougie Wright and has the stats to back it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard has signed his managerial contract. He is the permanent manager who has not officially started but who clearly has unofficially. Being introduced, attending Auchenhowie, bringing in his staff, authorising non retention of loanees etc. He authorised the signing which was in the pipeline. Its his signing even if he isn't formally in the door yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eosmhdo 1,879 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 If we weren’t building from the back I’d be worried. Time will tell with these appointments but I think we are hearing the right noises just now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
