Keith Jackson has warned the Sevco board that the notion of making Graham Murty manager is absurd with the hunt for a new manager appearing amateurish.
Up until Saturday’s home defeat from Hamilton Accies momentum was building towards giving the former Reading utility man the job on a permanent basis.
Hamilton’s 2-0 win knocked that plan on the head and highlighted the lack of leadership inside Ibrox with several different factions having their own ideas over who should take charge.
Jackson has been close to a number of Ibrox directors down the years with the Record praised by Paul Murray for it’s courageous journalism following Dave King’s coronation in March 2015.
Commenting on the managerial shambles at Ibrox the top man at the Record stated: “On Friday Murty made it clear he wants to be considered for the position. By tea time the following day his players were being booed off the pitch after losing a league game against Hamilton at Ibrox for the first time in 91 years.
“The suggestion that Murty ought to be considered as a genuine candidate to oversee a task of such enormity is frankly absurd but the longer his superiors stall, the more awkward his situation becomes.
“They have been inundated with phone-calls and emails and under this barrage they are terrified too of making another bad managerial choice.
“By sifting carefully through every available option they may believe they are being thorough and professional. But there comes a point when it lurches into hesitancy and when this clear lack of leadership makes them appear amateurish instead.”
