Sevco fans have been given false hope that Frank de Boer is set to take charge at Ibrox.
Showing a complete disregard for reality the Dutchman has emerged as the fans favourite to replace Mark Warburton.
Fortunately de Boer is currently out of work but after that there is very little chance of a coach that has recently been in charge of Ajax and Inter Milan taking a training session that involves Andy Halliday, Martyn Waghorn and Pip Senderos.
Coming into a club with no youth policy, no development plan, no merchandise income, no retail income, NO money and whose two best players have a combined age of 75 would certainly be a challenge with De Boer’s agent, Guido Albers, happy to hand hope to the Herald.
“When he played for Rangers, and you can ask David Murray about this, he didn’t get any salary, he was playing for nothing, because he was just pleased that Rangers were going to let him play,” the agent explained to the Herald.
Unfortunately for Albers and his client Rangers died five years ago almost entirely due to Murray. With his brother Ronny picking up over £3m from a Discounted Option Scheme then a traditional EBT I think we can assume that Frank enjoyed some generous expenses with the tax payer picking up the tab.
“You could imagine 25 coaches who are like that, in it for the money, but you can’t say things like that about Frank because he has never made a choice about money.
“He makes his choices about ambition and what he really wants to do. I am not saying that he will work for nothing – for sure he won’t! – but what I am not saying is that money will not make it impossible for him to go there. It will depend on everything, the club, the vision, the long-term, the quality of the players, everything like that.
“Two years ago Liverpool called and Tottenham called and I think for him it is important to take his time but If he had no interest in a job like this [Rangers] he would say no definitely and he hasn’t done this.
“So if he has a good feeling about being approached by Rangers then everything is possible.
“For now, he is not saying ‘I am not going to do this or not do that’. Of course there have been a lot of things that he has said no to before but he is going to put all the options on the table in May and then he will make a decision.”
With Stewart Robertson announcing a cunning plan to bring trophies to Ibrox involving a highly innovative Director of Football optimism will be sky high among the deluded.
It seems like the last five years hasn’t really happened as they grasp false hope at every turn rather than face up to reality.
As Graeme Murty continues in the dug-out of dignity for the foreseeable future internet bampots have a fair idea that this chapter isn’t going to end favourably for the people.
