Are we expecting Stevie G in the dugout tomorrow or is he likely to take over at the end of the season?
bit late for him to ask clarke why he turned it down

Not a problem.

They continue with a business model that has been hemorrhaging money since 1986.

This appointment is much more John Barnes than Graeme Souness.
John Barnes at least had a Premiership winning manager assisting him as well, if the rumours are correct Gerrard will have... Gary McAllister. :lol:
rumour is kenny dalglish is very close to all of this too
He has previous for working for a team from Ibrox hasn't he?

The only thing that makes sense (I know) is that they do have serious money coming in. Gerrard's advisors would surely have done due diligence.
It'll be really interesting to see what they've come up with this time. Bring it on!
This is nonsense and wishful thinking in the extreme.

Surely the converse is true? If they're hiring a rookie after various experienced managers have told them to bolt, doesn't it follow that there actually isn't any money to spend?

There's a few ways to look at this one...
That would be true if the rookie was someone else.
Gerrard has been round the block as a player. He knows Celtic, he knows Rodgers, he'll have an idea of what is expected of him and what it will take.
If King has managed to pull the wool over Gerrard's eyes then fair play to him. He's better than I thought .
That's only true if you assume Gerrard had other options.

There's no evidence of any clubs that aren't basket cases talking to him.

Isn't it more the case that this is a guy who didn't really have any other offers being hired by a club who couldn't get an experienced manager and have taken the gamble of opening the shiny Stevie G box to see what their greedy wee hands might find?

I'm sure all our objective Scottish hacks will ask probing questions to the new manager and Board at the press conference - such as:

Can you confirm the funds allocated for transfers

Where is that money coming from given The Rangers has made a substantial loss in every year of its 6 year existence

What percentage of annual turnover has been allocated to transfers

What percentage of turnover is the annual wage bill after the transfers have been completed

The club is already substantially in debt so where are the funds coming from - more debt?

I won't be holding my breath.

God help them, they are pretending to believe we're running scared of this appointment. :brickwall: :lol:

The £120m from Singapore is a fantasy. Why would anyone "invest" four times the value of a business? Their maxed-out turnover is £30m pa. As I've previously pointed out, it's not even money laundering because no money comes out the far end. My reading of it is that King is petrified that he'll have to buy at least £4m worth of shares and be left with a club that's worthless. This is a desperate last punt at persuading no one to sell up if and when he is forced to make the ToP's offer. The collapse in STs after the last two humiliations has them looking into the abyss. He's gone all in with seven and three unsuited. We're almost at the end game. :thumbsup:
7,2surely as with a 7,3 he could flop a straight
Not even King is THAT stupid!! :lol:

Flawed and reckless appointment in my view by Rangers. But there is no denying the excitement of this, for fans, for those of us in the media. Let’s see what happens. It is now thoroughly intriguing.

He turned down MK Dons previously didn't he? I guess we'll find out soon enough. He's getting battered anyway :rocker:

I don't know why I give them the benefit of the doubt, but even for Sevco standards it would be madness on a different scale if they asked him to take charge of the last 3 games. :lol:

Heard the guy from Liverpool TV say that Gerrard has made the under 18's the fittest team in their league.
