New Manager exciting times.

[Smile 26,600]

We are in a great position for a new manager coming in a settled team four points clear and with a very decent squad.

We have all complained about various parts of Gerrards management, subs were weird, timing of subs equally weird, the lethargy in the way we have started the season.

depending on who we get  we could really see our team pushing on we have better players than any team in the league, is it now time to let the players off the leash and bin this ten holding midfielders we play and show everyone why we are champions.

 

Me being a very positive member on here can see this being the beginning of something beautiful

[Johnsey 1,540]

The thought of a new manager is exciting, however, I would have preferred that Gerrard stayed.

Unfortunately, he's fucked off and we move on.

Board have to get this appointment right.

I think most would have preferred him staying till the end of the season, but if your heart's not in it to be the manager of Rangers you are better jumping ship.

[DrLaudrup 4,599]

Agree with most of that. We have to move forwards and not look back. A mid-season change is always difficult but with the right appointment there is a strong opportunity. Bearing in mind we are 4 clear with a good squad I would expect a reaction from the players to a new manager and some of the insipid performances we have been seeing of late might end. The could put us in a good position going into the middle third of the season. But it all hinges on the right appointment. The right appointment lifts the club, fans and players. Get it wrong and all of us will be feeling negative.

Given they've gotten it more wrong than right in recent years then I won't hold my breath...

[BLUEDIGNITY 33,647]

Big problem is the mentality of the players now, they’ll be those who want to exit as well. Maybe the form of some explains they had an inkling of this.

In a lot of ways we landed really lucky with Gerrard coming up here. Which is why we are all obviously gutted he's fucked off relatively soon. Bit concerning about thinking this board will get it right twice in a row.

True that could be a problem as Professionals you would hope they would push on rather than sulk and look for the door.

[j1mgg 3,766]

We have money, but are first in the league, close to getting out of the Europa group, semi final coming up, champions League group entry if league is won, and some sellable assets.

 

Pretty attractive to a new manager I would say

Different era we live in, once they down tools nowadays that’s it.

[CR3 12,680]

A shock to the system and hopefully a jolt and reset to some of the players still stuck in second gear. Fingers crossed.

Hopefully the new manager is strong enough to deal with shite like that, if you don't want to be here then fuck off.

Hopefully SOON.

[Blue Nosed Babe 20,591]

Chance for players to impress the new manager too.

[superallysbears 7,580]

Some off them players could down the tools, the new man will need to make an impression, I've a feeling some will already be ready to jump ship at the soonest possible opportunity, Gerrard has absolutely killed us here, I honestly believe we've got a mountain to climb not because the squad isn't good enough, but because the attitude of some will be lacking.

That's up to Tav and the new manager to make them Hungary again, if the odd player can't raise his enthusiasm and hunger to play for us then it's time to go.

[BlueboyG 5,238]

My biggest fear is that Gerrard comes in for Ryan Kent in January.

Absolutely,  let's be honest there was a staleness setting in, maybe this will work out in our favour.

We’ve been telling Gerrard to fuck off since yesterday. We can tell him to fuck off in January as well.

There’s a lot of people who have been coasting this season, and the more you think about it I believe that includes Gerrard too.

A shake up and a fresh set of eyes is what a lot of these players need, not only for our season, but also if they want to get the moves that a lot of them think they have already earned.

Look at how McLeish galvanised it and brought what looked like a dead season back to life after he replaced Advocaat as an example of how a change can go right.

[ZZed 4,510]

We need to sell players not just for cash but to freshen up the team as it has gone stale. Every player has his price and the money should be used to refresh the squad. A few out, don't care who, a few in, a change focus/style of play and a manager who is thinking forwards and about winning. Time to get behind the new man when he comes in and hope for the best.

Moral certainty at some stage.

[Moody Blue 9,349]

I bet the board now wish they’d told Gerrard he needed to sell someone to generate some income and improve the business model. Instead, with finances tight, they backed him by keeping the core of squad together and brought in his Poundland acquisitions. Despite that backing, we have been turgid shite this season so completely agree with OP, let’s hope it’s a catalyst to improve. 

 

[ritchieshearercaldow 22,137]

I’ll get excited when I know who it is.

TBH if he comes in with big numbers for likes of Kent and Kamara then we’ll need to accept this. 

We’re still in need of some big cash if offered say £30M for both it needs to be done if like it or not.
