TalkSPORT has launched the bandwagon for Neil Warnock to be installed as Micky Beale’s successor.
Steve Davis and Alex Rae have been installed as caretakers while fantasy names such as Graham Potter, Kevin Muscat and Kjetil Knutsen are being thrown around.
The reality is that Beale’s squad is a disaster zone in need of a proper man manager to install some shape, pattern and purpose.
Warnock is a time served fire fighter who has been touting himself for a job at Ibrox for years.
In recent seasons he has gone into lost causes at Rotherham, Middlesbrough and Huddersfield and steered them clear of relegation from the Championship which is similar task to the one required at Ibrox.
Having quit Huddersfield three weeks ago Warnock has made himself available, with no need for compensation and an appeal straight to the mindset of Ibrox fans getting him into a blazer and brogues would make life much easier for John Bennett and James Bisgrove.

Listening in to Simon Jordan on TalkSPORT the Record reports:
He’s 74 years young, not 74 years old. Knowing Neil as I know him, I know he would kick backsides. I know he would get the fans onside. I know that he could lift them. Whether he could overtake Celtic is a different matter but he’d get closer.
Look at the jobs that he’s done and the manner that he’s done them in. Huddersfield were gone last season – done, toast, finished – and they didn’t just avoid relegation.
They strolled past it in the end. This guy could go and straighten Rangers out.
Rangers don’t need stability – they need outcomes. Stability comes as a result of outcomes. Neil Warnock can get them into a better place and build them into a better place and get them into a situation where the reaction from the fans is not where it is now.
He would get the players facing the right way. He would get them into a different perspective. You might not see an instantaneous reaction because Neil often doesn’t get an instantaneous reaction.
What happens is that he gets his feet in the door very quickly. He speaks very sensibly, he speaks to the board very sensibly and relates to the people he works for.
But more importantly he brings disenfranchised players closer together so you’d see sloppiness and ill discipline and lack of motivation evaporate very quickly.
You would start to see a side that was reflective of what he wanted. You might not see the technical ability for the side but you’d see a side that was difficult to play against, had a little bit more pride in itself and better communication in the media. No two ways about it.
Sevco are hardly relegation fodder but in the eyes of their fans the very equivalent is….
Being eternally second to their betters in life – CELTIC FC !!!
Neil Warnock..decades in the game and won nowt…
Please be true..
??
sevco could do a lot worse than Warnock.
He has name recognition, which will appeal most of all to the bears.
He has extensive management experience – and just might get a tune out of
Beale’s rag-tag collection of players.
Warnock probably wouldn’t demand a transfer kitty either in January?
He has widespread contacts, so could probably attract better loans / freebies.
Yes, Warnock could be a decent / sensible appointment for sevco, IMO.
…so they’ll probably just stick it out with the cheap option of The Kinks,
[Rae, Davis…? 🙂 ]
It does not matter who they bring in as their newest manager , he will have to work with the same dud transfer players and freebies . They are there for the duration .There won’t be a copper penny to spend in January ! There will be massive confetti sales once again to pay wages and keep the lights on . Who in their right mind would want to be associated with that ,knowing that the consequences are inevitable ?
As someone said the other day, an anagram of Neil Warnock is Colin Wanker.
Perfect. The banter years continue.
Work for Warnock? Yes. Thanks for that Simon!
Not sure his young heart would take it though, especially if he got a few bad results to begin with and the pressure built up on him!
