With speculation continuing over whether Steven Gerrard, Jose Mourinho or Mikel Arteta will become the new manager at Ibrox a fresh, well sort of, face has entered the contest.
Sean Dyche, recently sacked at Everton while in the final season of his contract has got the Gullible & Deluded discussing his Ibrox credentials.
It is difficult to imagine Sean slipping into a cardigan, blazer and brogues while screaming at Cyriel Dessers what direction the net is.
Despite his first name Dyche is an old school, red meat type of manager in the mould of Sam Allardyce and Neil Warnock.
Old school 4-4-2 direct football would suit the current squad of players rather than the new age stuff of Russell Martin, a member of the Green Party with no time for former PM Rishi Sunak.
? “I can’t say who my source is – he doesn’t tell stuff that is wrong”
? “Sean Dyche is the name I’ve heard – After what I’ve heard today, it seems to be one that will happen ”

Paddy Stewart took over as CEO on December 16 after the League Cup was lost, Kevin Thelwell will become Director of Football in the summer once his Everton contract expires, Kev worked with Sean until he was sacked in January.
With the thrilling run to the last eight of the Europa League now a fading memory reality is returning for Ibrox fans as Celtic supporters prepare to trash their cherished #title55 with a ninth treble a strong possibility before the season ends.
The grim reality is that Barry Ferguson will remain as manager until May 17, after that the players will head off on holiday with no news on a new management team as the fakeover grinds to a halt.
Any managerial candidate is going to ask what budget he has for the new season, with the Champions League second round qualifiers staring on July 22/23 time is running out for the next man charged with stopping Celtic from winning five-in-a-row next season.
Ah heard – Ah f**kin heard…
Ah heard fae a guy in the pub whose wife’s brother is a taxi driver, whose wee cousin is a cleaner in the changing rooms at Sheepy Shittoddrie and overheard Dessers screaming That was a roll of the Dyche, well it was really a roll of the dice but Ally says it’d really Dyche and he’s gonna be our good son (of William) fae Good shun Park…
Aye Aye – Ah heard… Ah fuckin heard !
Sean Dyche and Gary McCallister as assistant.
Will look forward to the headline
Sean Dyche on Gary’s Phone
One positive for the forces of darkness playing staff, Sean can write in block capitals and not in unintelligible crayon scroll like the current manager. Messages passed to captain disappointed can be understood without translation or semaphore.
Five in a row beckons.
Klopp and Frank must’ve said naw then !!!
am no wan for spreading rumours but a zombie telt me this morning thelwells pal billy davies is a shoe in wae tommy s as party organiser heh heh
Paddy, Kevin and Sean at Ibrox, eh?
They might need to adopt “nicknames” to appease their klanbase for ‘cultural reasons’ – Kevin could follow a well-worn path and become ‘Ted’, Sean could be known as ‘Shug’. Paddy is more difficult – he might need to just have done with it and become ‘Billy’……
And you’d think that if a real takeover was ‘almost nearing completion’
then the last thing you would do is change your manager – or any senior staff at all?
You’d wait until the deal was done before appointing a new manager – and with the OK
from the new owners / the new majority shareholders.
Conversely, announcing the appointment – now – of a new Sporting Director
also suggests that no, a takeover is not happening?
