That's a banning offence. 

Derek shitebag McInnes 🤮 

If the option is McInnes or Murty as caretaker who are you chosing?

Dont get me wrong I’d rather someone else but I can’t see many managers joining us at this point in the season. I’d still offer is to Beale over him though.

Hopefully it’s all irrelevant and Gerrard turns them down, Remember at one point in his playing career it looked certain Gerrard was joining Chelsea but he changed his mind and stayed loyal to Liverpool. Hopefully he’s become attached enough to Rangers that he will wait till at least the summer for potential other offers.

Not bothered for some reason 

You never were. You never wanted him in the first place. Be careful what you wish for.

Me neither, bit strange.

I love Gerrard, will still love him if he leaves and have never criticised him at any point during his time here. But also not that worried about him leaving. Will change my mind on that if it looks like we're going to fuck up the replacement though 

King brought in Gerrard. Park brought in Pedro. We can only hope Wilson gets to make a shortlist and choice.

Murty all day long, thankfully it won't be though.

Yeah I just don’t think he’s very irreplaceable. As I said previously I will always be grateful for last season but there’s a considerable amount I would change about his time here 

Same. Well put. Lost bigger, better and more successful than Gerrard before.

If you look at their squad too there’s a lot there that he can work with from the off. One of his biggest strengths with us has been improving the players he inherited. If he does that and he signs a few players in January then they could easily climb the table quickly.

Definitely. They were one of the best teams to watch last season until Grealish got injured albeit they far too heavily relied on him. The 3-0 win away at Arsenal was up there as one of the best performances of any team.

Martinez one of the best goalkeepers in the league and there's good players throughout the team. Buendia, Bailey and Sanson haven't really got going though.

And not sure I'll be able to stomach him talk about how good a midfielder McGinn is.

Apologies never seen them mate. Tbf, de Boer is a far better option than fucking McInnes

Liverpool’s only 3 hours away ffs. Not like we play on the moon. 

Almost 4 hrs unless you are speeding. The point is, he lives away from home.

I'm a bit different, even the first two seasons I think he improved us enough that I think he did a good job and definitely don't think he was ever winning the league in the first season or anything. Think in his 3rd year was fair enough and a great achievement, invincible year, sensational in Europe across the 3 years. I'm more so on this season, seem to have gone backwards and stale

[Malkytfp1 18,594]

If it was end of the season I couldn't give a fuck. It's the timing of it that gets me, no even Gerrard going but such a catastrophic change at such a crucial time, the results of which could set us back years.

Hope we don't get hung up on this "bring a Rangers man in" shite either.

[Creampuff 22,628]

I’ll be absolutely gutted if he leaves, but Gerrard isn’t as important to us as he was 18 months ago.

If Gerrard doesn't go to Villa there will be a few embarrassed posters on here.

People give their opinions on a forum and occasionally they turn out to be incorrect. Hardly anything to be embarrassed about. Especially when there’s credible chat about it happening.

[TheBluebells 6,898]

Bit behind on this, there any proof he's off? Or anything pointing to it maybe being the case? 

[Smell the hotdog 4,015]

De Boer has been a disaster everywhere bar Ajax. Not a fan of the gio shouts either.

Dominico Tedesco be one id sound out

The option should be get a new proper manager in quickly and not do a scum last season

[McEwan's Lager 30,522]

One thing that is a bit of a dimmer on Gio is that Jan Wouters has retired, who obviously would have been a huge help as an assistant here having done it before.

Rather be left embarrassed than lose the manager tbh. Think it will be the ones who are adamant this isn’t happening, when all the signs point towards it happening, who will be left embarrassed though.

My point is that it is all rumour and speculation and if he doesn't go then some posters will be a bit red-faced.   To be even-handed then, if he does go some others will be embarrassed due to their posts.

[blueballss 2,969]

well here i was thinking international week would be boring as usual..........

[Malkytfp1 18,594]

Funny thing is, Gerrard wasn't a great appointment on paper IMO. He was a big name but had fuck all experience and bringing in a guy who had managed a couple seasons at under 18's level was a bit mental other than the fact his name carried weight 

[Clemdog 39,389]

Boys I'm not having this I'll be heartbroken if we all of a sudden see Gerrard, Beale, Milsom and Culshaw leave in the blink of an eye.

[KeyserSoze 14,531]

Can people please stop saying “McInnes turned us down” ffs

Remember our statement

“After the two games against Aberdeen, we requested permission to engage with their manager to assess his readiness and willingness to consider the Rangers position. This was declined”

Because of the sheep refusal for us to speak to him - nothing was offered for him to turn down

Really not feeling that way, if he goes so be it.

Hardly been at our swashbuckling best this year under him, and feels like he’s almost out of ideas as how to ‘fix’ some of the issues. We’ve by far a better squad than the filth, and have a 4 point lead, so a good managerial appointment and a bit of freshness wins us this league anyway IMO. 

That is dependent on this board getting a good manager in though. 

It’s about how hard it will be to replace the character for me.

Gerrard’s personality and aura are huge and I seriously think we struggle to replace that.

It’s fine throwing out names like Reborv or Farke and posting stats that show how well he’s done in Eastern Europe or articles that say how great a tactician he is, but if you don’t have that presence and ability to handle one of the most unique places to manage then you are basically a dead man walking from the off.

That’s where my worry lies.

Depends what you class as “proof” mate
