Completely get that but the fact it was a Rangers employee who asked him the question you can guarantee it was staged/he knew it was coming and could easily have just not been asked.

English players are mercenaries with no club loyalty, something you can’t normally attribute to Scottish players. Modern day is changing but the English game and mentality is a stain on football as a whole.

Element of truth to this; its partly why we got the likes of Gazza, etc in the 90's

[Blue Nosed Babe 21,428]

I think he can kiss the Liverpool job goodbye. Villa will not get him there.

We might have.

Expect them at the very least to say an appointment will be made ASAP as we know the importance of the next run of fixtures for our season

There's only 2 things to take from them saying nothing...

We have a manager lined up and will be in shortly 

Or they haven't even started yet and it begins now that Gerrard's gone

Can believe what one you think

 

So waffle for the sake of it basically.

Reports in Holland are that GVB wants the job 

[BlueboyG 5,488]

Now that I've digested this I'm thinking this could be a good thing for us (nearly said blessing), he got us 55 which I'm grateful  for but let's be honest, that mob fell apart from top to bottom, outwith that he has done fuck all domestically,  it's now up to the board to make the correct decision and get someone in who can hit the ground running, some of the names being banded about like mcinnes, Steve fuckin Clarke etc would end me, I personally want GVB in , Gerrard for me has been a snake cunt the way he went about his move so for that reason fuck him.

Emma Dodds isn't a Rangers employee - nor was it on a Rangers-owned platform.

Rather waffle about our new manager over waffle about the guy who just jumped ship midway through the season

[Nameless Ghoul 6,157]

There is no in between it seems.

You either wish him well or hope his career is over. Superb

Fucking Yessssss! Do it Rangers! 

[tommyw 36]

Maybe explains why Goldson hasn't signed a new contract. Gerrard kept saying he knows him well and talk often, aye I bet.

I'm totally on board the band wagon

Make Ibrox look like Hampden in 2000 again for the first game back, bring back the brass band the fucking lot

Yes, but we don’t have a new manager in yet. You’re wanting inside info that they’re in no position to share.

I think going to Villa will be his downfall.  

Bang average team that will never break the into the top tier or challenge for the premiership . Perhaps a Europa Cup place on a good day .

Hope he ends up at Tranmere

Nah, I'm not having that, because there's a media-training 101 way of 'saying enough to toe the company line' (which we've all got used to managers and players doing prior to a move) and then there's what he did. It didn't need to be that emphatic and that's what makes it deceitful. 

So he should have hedged his bets on the chance he'd get a job that when he was asked wasn't available and he wasn't linked with?

He would be booed to fuck if he came on the park at Ibrox against Prague 

[blueballss 3,034]

Goodbye, no person bigger than our club. Move on, memories of last year title will live forever, as will many previous to that, another chapter begins😁

[BlueAvenger 10,753]

Grateful for winning the league etc but  I have no interest in him now that he has gone. No ill feeling and no best wishes.

His reaction was over the top IMO and it undermines his integrity.  Could have just rolled out something a little more generic like "its flattering to be linked but I'm focused on Rangers", as opposed to suggesting the very notion he would consider leaving was ridiculous/silly.  Especially if (as I expect) we hear the family excuse pretty soon.

[j1mgg 3,766]

Wonder how much he is getting.

 

I just wanted think it is bad timing.
