Murtys a gonner

[makaveli1875]

Statement due soon according to Jim White .. Bad news if true

[Coults1875]

Gone apparently!

[Northernhibee]

Statement? :hyper

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Meh. They're bottle merchants. The lot of them.

Their form changed when staunch Jimmy became assistant for a spell but they reverted to type soon after. Crunch end of the season and panicking.

We'll beat them. Whether that gets us 2nd or 3rd remains to be seen. Hopefully the former

As for Murty. He seems nice. Hence he'd never have been accepted there anyway. Been well and truly hung out to dry here for the failings way above his head

[Peevemor]

Will they bring Uncle Wallie back for 3 matches?

[we are hibs]

Heard Stuart McCall for last 3 games. Surely
not?

[ian cruise]

Who on earth would they have for the last three games if this is true? I'm not surprised though, the club has made his position untenable

[Onceinawhile]

Disappointing if true. That being said, it's difficult to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Interesting to see who comes in for the final three games. I'd imagine it won't be their next permanent manager.

Gerrard?

[TelaStella]

The guy who’s effectively been in charge for pretty much all season walks with 3 games left -no statement. Hibs sell more tickets for their home supporters- uproar. Harsh on Murty seemed a decent enough guy who I’m sure will still have a decent career as a coach/manager. God knows what this will do for his confidence though.

Miller? If they've got rid of Murty or he's walked without them trying to keep him then Miller and Wallace are vindicated in their criticisms?

[Gatecrasher]

I feel sorry for him, he's effectively been thrown under the bus by his employers and pushed into a job he didn't want to do in the first place. Hopefully he finds somewhere that treats him with a bit more respect.

That being said he Rangers train wreck continues.

[ToffeeCabbage]

Jimmy Nichol for the last 3 games I reckon. Last ditch attempt to save 2nd but they've no chance

He might feel he needs to prove a point and go one to much better things? Certainly had a decent rep prior to this and he's not exactly done terrible. He'll make a good SPFL manager for Dundee, Hamilton or similar. For some reason I could see him at Dundee UTD sooner rather than later.

What about the Vatican?

[worcesterhibby]

I hope he has walked and wasn't pushed. If he was pushed they will have lined up someone for the last three games..if he walked then they still need to get it sorted.

Hopefully It's Joey Barton ! lol

[number9dream]

Sacked or broken and walking away before it was time to discard him?

Johansson & Nicholl or a very short-term s.o.s - whoever it is, here's hoping they keep Halliday at left-back until the last game of the season...

He deserves compensation and a pay off for the way they’ve treated him

[SirDavidsNapper]

Well done Murty. Get as far away from that cesspit as you can. Seems a good, honest chap who tried his best. Definitely not Rangers class.

[Jim44]

It remains to be seen if his removal/resignation, and the appointment of a baby-sitter will have a positive effect on team morale and the last three games. I wonder also whether the fracas with Miller and Wallace will blow over.

[JeMeSouviens]

According to Phil Mac G B (I know, I know) the Murtster was told to keep out of the dressing room at half time on Sunday and Jimmy Nicholl took over.

If that’s the case, you might think he would have walked before today. Still, I suppose he was putting the ball in their court and squeezing the remainder of his contract fee out of them.

[Deansy]

Does this make the Hun the first club in Scottish Football to be looking for a caretaker-manager to replace their caretaker-manager until they find a manager ??

[ian cruise]

What about the Vatican?

I'm sure there's something obvious I'm missing here but I don't follow?

Hun song "follow, follow" has the line "Dundee, Hamilton, ftp in the vatican". :rolleyes:

[FilipinoHibs]

According to Scotsman.

[SirDavidsNapper]

According to Scotsman.

Shocking way to be treated imo. At least he'll get a pay off i'd have thought. What a ****my club they are.

[Jones28]

Not sure if this is good or bad news - whatever it is it's definitely funny and another reason to laugh at Rangers :aok:

[ian cruise]

Hun song "follow, follow" has the line "Dundee, Hamilton, ftp in the vatican". :rolleyes:

I genuinely didn't know that, I need to listen more (actually maybe not, their song book is bad enough). Living out this way it's all a bit like white noise to me now.

I knew I was having a whoosh moment, just wasn't sure what it was. Ta.

[Smartie]

I can't believe the sense of excitement I get these days as I anticipate a "club statement".

Even the sacking of a caretaker manager will contain a certain comedy value.

[sauzee1966]

Statement due soon according to Jim White .. Bad news if true

if he goes on Gardening leave it will become like a branch of Dobbies after McCoist, the bread man, Pedro and now Murty.....and Possibly Gerrard by February when they are sitting 5th!!


I would get the cash in his pocket before he walks out the door or he will get nowt.

[hibbyfraelibby]

Beeb reporting he has left the managers role not that he has left the Thes. Probably reverted to his substantive role in the Development set up.

Who would tell him to keep out the dressing room? Surely that's the manager's domain completely and he and his assistants would have told whoever to beat it.

Nicholl & Johansson caretakers.

[Hibs Class]

GRAEME MURTY has this morning been relieved of his duties as manager of Rangers.

Jimmy Nicholl and Jonatan Johansson will take charge of the team for the three remaining matches of the season.

Rangers are grateful to Graeme, who did not hesitate when asked last October to become interim manager after the departure of Pedro Caixinha and then, at the turn of the year, when he was offered the role as manager until the end of the season.

Graeme has had to contend with difficult and challenging circumstances but conducted himself in a thoroughly professional manner. He will take some time to consider his options, which include returning to his role at the Rangers Academy.

Jimmy Nicholl and Jonatan Johansson have already started preparing the team for the match against Kilmarnock on Saturday and they will be in place for the two remaining fixtures, against Aberdeen and Hibernian.

The club hopes to be in a position to comment further on the managerial situation in the near future.

You would think players won't be arsed as many gone in the summer and season written off. They won't be answering to these two jokers come the summer. Think good for us. Makes Saturday's game even bigger as Huns likely to be easy meat for us and Dons.

[bingo70]

If Steven Gerrard is taking on the job surely taking a role in the last 3 games is a great way for him to assess his squad with no real pressure or accountability.

Find that really strange appointing caretakers for the last 3 games when they’ve apparently got their next manager lined up ready to go.

I very much doubt he's stupid enough to take the job as he won't be given the funds to beat Celtic so will be on a hiding to nothing.

[Diclonius]

Not sure if this is good or bad news for us. Murty's had a couple bad defeats, in particular against Celtic, but he has also pulled off some pretty comprehensive victories and I don't see anyone else performing any better with the squad they have.

Nicholl was rank for us as caretaker pre Butcher (and got Cowdenbeath relegated) so hopefully he stays true to form.

Another statement. Reckon with a few weeks to go they could overtake the Jambos and clinch the Champions League spot.

looks like someone has hidden the crayons. shame.

[WeeRussell]

Anyone else read "Murty's a Gooner" and really begin to wonder :greengrin

Shame.. but it'll take more than a sacking to turn them round before they play us.

No new manager bounce either. Don't want to be complacent but I think Saturday at Pittodrie is the 2nd place decider.

He is taking over at Fleetwood!

[ancient hibee]

Clearly trying to make him quit his u20 job so they don’t have to pay him compo.If they’d sacked him from that he would have a wrongful dismissal case.

[AgentDaleCooper]

So the man in charge of rangers' last management job was at cowdenbeath. Sound :aok:

[Scorrie]

The Rangers have had more managers this season than goals they’ve scored in OF games...

[bod]

i think miller & the grass will start the last 3 games for them
