A fortnight after losing at home to Aberdeen there is still no sign of a manager being appointed at Ibrox.
The media messengers are still relaying the news about preferred candidates, extensive talks, interviews ongoing etc etc but even Kris Boyd can see through the smoke and mirrors that the bears are being served up.
The Sky Sports pundit prefers to believe that the Ibrox boardroom is split over who to appoint, the other option is that they have been unable to put together an offer attractive enough for Philippe Clemente or Kevin Muscat to sign.
Clemente has been unemployed since being sacked by Monaco in June after they finished sixth in Ligue 1 under new boss Adi Hutter.
Yokohama F Marinos boss Muscat is desperate to keep tagging on to Ange Postecoglou but the former Celtic boss has probably briefed his former assistant that things are much changed at Ibrox from the days when token contracts went through at the SPFL and SFA while the cash poured into offshore Trusts that were later deemed to be disguised remuneration.
Sharing his thoughts with The Sun, Boyd explains:
To be honest, I thought Rangers would have had Michael Beale’s successor in place by now.
Still, providing the appointment turns out to be the right one, then taking their time might be no bad thing.
The longer the search goes on, the more you wonder what the hold-up has been.
Clement has been out of work since leaving Monaco in June, so if he really wanted the gig then you’d think he would be in Glasgow already.
Muscat hinted the second leg of the cup semi-final with Yokohama F. Marinos this weekend could be his last game in Japan.
From the outside looking in, it’s clear the Gers board is split down the middle on who to appoint. If agreement was unanimous, then someone would be in the dugout right now — but that is clearly not the case.
It is looking increasingly likely that Steve Davis and Alex Rae will be in charge against Hibs a week today with Billy Davies and Derek McInnes on stand-by.
Here is today’s joke of the day,Raskin is using sevco as a stepping stone to get to the EPL.
That guy has been sniffing to much glue if he thinks he is EPL quality.
The Sevco Board are split…
Well they are bananas I guess –
And I’ve split myself countless times laughing at Sevco in the 11 years and 77 days (today) that they’ve been in existence !!!
There will be money to spend in January for the new manager as Sima is there on the same conditions as Sillyman remember him and that million quid sevco got for Bayern taking their own player back from being onloan plus the 10% sell on fee Bayern owe sevco.
Well there is another million quid heading sevco’s way in January plus that 10% sell on fee for Sima when he returns to Brighton so that will be another £10 million heading to iibrox.
Man City keeping tabs on Cuntwell as they are looking to link him up with Grealish, watch this space.
i got to say i never tought i’d miss the spoofer beale so much , it was great fun watching the knuckle draggers hanging on his every word and being sucked in with his jellied eel salesman pish , it took them so long to realize he was taking them for a ride , even boyd miller and barry une biatch who trumpeted his spiel got their eye wiped by him !!!
good old mikey sailed of into the sunset singing somewhere over the rainbow with his pockets full of their cash !!! Haw !!! chortle
Typical Hun arrogance. If their board snap their fingers, anyone they want will just drop everything and walk over broken glass, just to don the brown brogues and blazer of unsurpassed dignity.
Is it not more likely that the reason no one is in place is because, despite their “big club with a global support” pretensions, they are actually just potless basket case that just can’t offer a package and transfer budget attractive enough to get their first choice in? Or anyone even vaguely sane for that matter?
