Frank de Boer has snubbed talk of going to Sevco as manager.
For reasons difficult to fathom the Dutchman has become the pin up boy for many Ibrox fans to replace Mark Warburton and restore the tribute act to it’s rightful place.
Despite the club being unable to pay off Warbo and the legend that is Davie Weir some fans believe that the company has the money to attract de Boer and give him the funds to buy a new squad and clear out the duds that he will inherit.
De Boer has been out of work since being sacked by Inter Milan before Christmas, with four titles from Ajax on his CV his next job will almost certainly be in England or Spain.
Advertising his availability in a sit down interview with the Daily Mail the former Barcelona defender or the interviewer makes no mention of the Sevco vacancy.
One person in the hotel that hosted the interview interrupted to ask about returning to Ibrox.
Diplomatically de Boer said that he’d love to manage here (Britain) but that the project has to be right.
With Stewart Robertson and Andrew Dickson in London this week trawling through lists of out of work coaches and Directors of Football it seems that de Boer has escaped their notice.
In just over two weeks time Sevco visit Celtic, it seems certain that Project Murty will be abandoned after that match with a Real Rangers Man brought in to restore some pride as the rudderless ship heads for the rocks, without captain de Boer and Commander King jumping overboard.
The Daily Mail interview ends with: ‘It is hard not to respect what De Boer has achieved in the game. But De Boer the manager still has a point to prove. And he wants to do that here in England.
