The data-led narrative that I joined this great club at the age of 26 with 11 years experience in the football industry is meta?-example of the synergy of misinformation and disinformation. Oh yes. |

Yes, 'twas the glorious summer of 2005. The triumph of the Copa de Ibiza and the long-awaited Return of The Ashes - in that order obviously. Didn't we have to power past a mighty local team in the semis iirc? Coventry's new stadium (The Ricoh Arena) was very New - a literal building site I think. We were the first gracious guests - and duly surrendered 3-0. |

That is a very cynical interpretation of the current data-driven landscape which demeans our collective quantum intelligence. |

Very sad news. Before my time, but obviously a very big name at Rangers. A legend of the club. RIP Gordon Jago. |

Season-after-season, why is November always a Month of Darkness in every way? Run-up to Xmas looks very dicey too. As already said, early winnable home games could be v. handy for Julien... |

Sorry - initial reaction: underwhelmed. Thanks to Clive and everyone else for all the excellent research on Stephan. I hope I'm wrong, but did I read in there somewhere that he fell out with a previous Sporting Director? (!!!!). Not good, not good. I'm still in post-Marti blues mode I guess. Very best of luck to our new man. [Post edited 25 Jun 9:49]

 | Forum Reply | Marti Officially Gone at 21:29 24 Jun 2025
Its a sad day and more than a bit of a bitter one. I felt parting company with Warbs in 2022 felt like a mistake at the time and I think this was proved right. But this feels on a different level. Was Marti the best Rangers head coach since Venables? Maybe not (Oliie, Warnock, Gerry) but the man from Barcelona made a very good case. The 2023-24 resurrection was a Miracle (as already covered) and 2024-25 saw the best Winter Form in many a year with safety achieved with games to spare. And we've jettisoned him. Wow. OK then, so over to you Christian now, or Lee, or whoever. Fortune favours the brave - right? You could argue this is Brave- Bold - Reckless to the point of madness. The very best of luck to Julien Stephan (as said, he is, and will be, blameless - maybe that's the Master Plan) and maybe the dressing room will warm to him more than his excellent (imho) predecessor. But what do I know? This has to work. This HAS to work. Quickly. Clearly. No contingency. Senor Cifuentes - thank you very much. For Leicester. For Leeds. For Birmingham. For Oxford. For everything. |

This is the point, isn't it? Normally a new man comes in, give him a bit of slack as he settles in, new environment, new league, new country etc. But Monsieur Stephan, through completely no fault of his own, will get none of this. Everything will be immediately compared and contrasted to a popular, respected, talented previous Head Coach Whose Name Shall Not/Cannot Be Mentioned. It has to go well - considerably and clearly well - for the club right from early August. And that pressure is, apparently, totally self-inflicted. [Post edited 19 Jun 13:41]

Great news. Obviously a big boost for all concerned. I feel that the Dunne-Field-Smyth workmanlike spine will be as crucial in 25/26 as it was in 24/25. There is no Marti (tragic) but there is hope. |
