don't get me wrong if a bigger club like an EPL team comes in then its a no brainer, but Villareal and Leeds are dreadful, wouldn't expect to get him over Ajax.

Villareal, Marseille and Ajax are beating us to every player and manager that we all go in for.

I think Leeds, even in the Championship, beat us more times than not as well

It just seems to be such an odd move, why not bring in Kevin Thomson or the like? He has far more of a connection with the club and with Davis.

Rae is Bisgroves guy.

I would like to see Souness invited by the board to give some input in the recruitment of a new manager. 

Whoever it is I hope they have a look at the huge number of backroom staff we have at Auchenhowie.   God knows what they all do.  Beale had two assistant managers and only recently I actually saw what one of them looked like.  I still don't know their names without looking them up.

What would Souness tangibly bring to the table when it comes to recruiting a new manager.

what players or managers have we been after that have gone to them though?

its just speculation. 

[Stunels 1,263]

Ive absolutely no faith in this board to make a good appointment - we tried to back Beale but most of us knew in our heart of hearts that he would fail, and he did.  This could be the most crucial managerial appointment in our history.

[Mclean RFC 1,277]

first and foremost we should be bringing in someone till the end of the season to steady the ship. project managers are a massive risk with us in this state.

seeing lampard mentioned with  us is giving me the fear.

Miles ahead of Leeds. They are in the championship ffs. and even whilst in the top flight, they were never competing for silverware.

Villareal - absolutely shite.

Marseille - think we just edge them tbh

Ajax - bigger than us despite being awful this season

Fantasy land stuff here.

Speculation that you started by saying we were bigger than 3/4 of them

Bassey left us for Ajax. Dont get me wrong we were extremely happy to sell but he wasnt chaining himself to Ibrox to stay.

[The Specky Forum Organiser 66,093]

Souness shouldn't have a say on the next manager or on field decisions but wouldn't be against him have some sort of role as an advisor to the board on more general issues around the club.

[OrangeRab 3,024]

We aren’t in a position to attract a good manager from a top league.

So it’s either go someone who has a patchy record at a higher level/top 5 league. Who has probably had a few seasons of success and probably sacked once or twice.

Or we look at a lower level for somebody who has had more success, potentially with multiple clubs. And we can be a bit more targeted about play style (have they managed teams that are expected and set up to win each week against low blocks etc).

And look to see that they tick the boxes and outperform in other areas. (Recruitment, leadership, tactics etc)

I’d vote the latter. That candidate likely has a higher ceiling but is probably riskier.

I’m not worried about the job being too big for them. That’s something the board should be able to sound out in any interview. 

It should be easy enough to recognise charisma, leadership, integrity etc.

Something Beale clearly lacked.

Every club looking for a new manager is a risk for any candidate.   Football is a risky business.  Chelsea, Everton, and a host of other clubs are no different, they are all high risks.     Ross Wilson has a lot to answer for.  He was supposed to have put all the blocks in place.  The problem was his confidence in his abilities was badly misplaced and also that Douglas Park believed him.

Our Club offers a challenge and a high profile one at that.  European football is basically guaranteed every year.  Basically only one main domestic rival.  Do well up here and an EPL club will come looking, or even a continental side. What's not to like about that scenario for a confident and ambitious manager with something to prove?

The fact the odds aren't on your favour of succeeding?

Some of the names mentioned on this thread have a higher stock from what I'm reading than going for a club that punts managers within a year. Plenty of clubs out there such managers can be deemed successes probably without even winning silverware without the situation in Glasgow where its boom or bust.

Lol, the best managers go to the biggest leagues (unless the moneys stupid a la Saudi Arabia). 
 

Unless the manager was born on the Copland road, no manager on earth is declining offers from teams in La Liga/Ligue Un to come to us. 
 

The guy from AZ is an interesting one because you could argue the Dutch league is on the verge of overtaking France as the 5th league of Europe. If Ajax came in for him, I can’t see any possibility where he’d turn them down to manage us.

Souness should be nowhere near the decision making of any of the footballing decisions at the club 

Me neither. Guys a dinosaur. His comments when De Zerbi was appointed on talkSPORT were embarrassing. So if he was questioning De Zerbi at that time god only knows who he’s want to manage us.

How the fuck could anybody want a manager who couldn’t get us out the 2nd tier ?

Facebook and reddit breed the absolute worst Rangers opinions Ive ever seen, can base your opinion on the polar opposite of what they suggest

I wouldn't say that I have often met Rae at games home and away as have many other supporters I'm sure long before we even knew the name Bisgrove.

The same way as we had all the idiots saying Beale was a credible managerial choice but they didn't know why.

If the Jobby speaks well that seems to swing it for a lot of punters.

Beale was more of an unknown risk. Ally was a proven dunce as a manager.
