Rangers next manager odds:

Gary McAllister 2/1

Frank Lampard 4/1

John Terry 6/1

Michael O’Neil 10/1

Dean Smith 14/1

Alex Neil 16/1

Steve Bruce 18/1

That list is horrific viewing to me. 

Did you just make that up?

[BlueSuedeSambas 54,226]

If Gerrard leaves there should be one clear and obvious candidate to replace him.

I’m not believing anything until it’s J. Jonah official IMO.

Robbie Neilson.

[Brackley Bluenose 4,479]

Next manager will already be decided. RW will have those candidates permanently earmarked for a situation just like this.

I get he done well at Feyenoord but he finished 11th in the Chinese super league and then quit

Hopefully he’s better at identifying managers than he is at identifying players.

Front page of the Daily Bugle alongside pictures of Spider-Man or it’s not happening.

European managers and players go to China for a quick buck none of them actually care about winning and have zero connections with their clubs. His record in China is irrelevant.

I’m not holding one season during a global pandemic against him.

Unless we give somebody who has never managed before then every candidate we get is likely to have a blip on their CV. Managers with perfect CV’s end up at elite level clubs and are beyond us financially.

Definitely, but the sad thing is our own shortlist could be worse!

I’d hope Wilson would be running everything on that front, his record of appointments at Huddersfield and Southampton were pretty decent IIRC.

It's not guaranteed though.

In the sense the league isn’t guaranteed or in the sense there’s a way we might not automatically qualify even if we win it? 

[pcbear 10,924]

Whatever happened to that Belgian guy with the mad hair we were linked with Pedro time, initials  MVP i seem to remember ?

[RossS1873 1,685]

There has to be a contingency plan in place. I don't believe it'll be McAllister. He was brought in as a link between Gerrard and the Scottish game. I suppose its easy to put names that have a previous affiliation to us, McInnes, Van bronckhorst etc. But only time will tell because he will leave at some point. But I'd hope that a manager does come in that is not a backwards step and can help push us forward.

Has an office role at Standard Liege these days.

I took Steven Gerrard at face value when he said he was now a "two club man" and that hasn't changed.

Not really mate, he brought in Puel, Pellegrino and Hughes at Southampton. All failed. Pellegrino and Hughes spectacularly.

Mark fucking Hughes. He’s been out the game for a while. I bet he’s fucking linked with it

That’s harsh on Puel to say he “failed”, he got Southampton to a League Cup final and finished 8th in the league.

Sadly that was Liverpool and Aston Villa
