Rangers’ latest manager: Fan opinions after Kevin Muscat deal collapses

Callum: This became the worst disgrace in the history of Scottish football. When will the powers that be at Ibrox realize that if Thelwell and Stewart are the ones who continue to be a stumbling block, they need to be removed immediately? We’ve rejected three potential managers in just over a week. Shocking and embarrassing.

Michael: Thelwell and Stewart want too much input into first-team affairs, and that appears to be the downfall. They both need to go. If Andrew Cavenagh and Parag Marathi wanted Gerrard and Muscat, the deal should have been done – after all, they are the ‘bosses’.

Isobel: The club knew Muscat’s situation from the start, so why would they move forward at all if they were so desperate to get someone in as soon as possible? It is utter incompetence and astonishing arrogance to think they could sign him earlier because he was on the cusp of a second title. The entire management group, including the Americans, have dragged the proud club to the bottom in this ongoing chaos. It’s absolutely disgraceful, and I really feel for the players in all of this, left leaderless, rudderless, and hanging out to dry.

Neil: It has become clear that if the new manager wants to control recruitment, Thelwell will be the problem. It’s time for the owners to take control and show their ability to run the club.

Stuart: I have supported this club since my late father took me to my first match in the late 70’s, I have spent thousands traveling across the UK and Europe to watch them and this is ‘simply the worst’ I have ever seen from top to bottom. Poor board choices, mismanagement, and poor recruitment. Thelwell and Stewart have to go because they are simply lining their own pockets while making a complete mockery of what was once a proud club.

Sony: Dismissal of the council. The Americans have somehow succeeded in turning the club into a bigger mess than the previous management, something I thought was impossible. We are a laughing stock and there is hardly a group of great candidates left. embarrassed.

Brian: What a mess and an absolute shock from the officials – the blame must go to Stewart and Thoele, who couldn’t even pull off a double role as the pantomime horse. I am at a complete loss bordering on despair.

Alexander: The main problem seems to be Thelwell and Stewart. If these are two reasons why we can’t close the deal, get rid of them. Rangers are too old to be run in such a haphazard manner. The fans won’t put up with any more of this nonsense, perhaps an empty Ibrox and no season ticket renewals will wake up the owners.
