Emergancy board meeting at Ibrox.

Maybe just preparing to issue another statement about how unfair it all is? been a day or two since the last one.

Could definitely see McInnes going there.

If Everton come calling, I can see McInnes maybe being interested.

He'd be off his rocker to go to Ibrox just now - they're never going to close the gap to Celtc despite the ludicrous fan expectations, so even being a 'Rangers man', he'll fail.

He's been given time to build a reasonably decent squad at Pittodrie, and the club is on the verge of moving to a new stadium with new facilities. Rangers, meanwhile, will probably overspend in the coming years trying to bridge the gap to Celtc and end up financially imploding all over again.

Agreed. It’s a poisoned chalice for anybody clued up. Whoever they appoint they will never be able to bridge the resource gap on Celtic. Nobody in the game will consider them a success if they managed to take the points deficit from 25 to 15. You just set yourself up for failure.

[hibsbollah]

Please go for 'Bomber' Brown. Please.

[cabbageandribs1875]

please bring back sally McCoist

[DarrenSQH]

Terry Butcher please

[Sylar]

Barry Ferguson and Lee McCulloch.

Cheap, 'Rangers Men', currently out of work...

And most importantly, both with pish records

[ajf]

Anybody taking sevco job will get sacked sooner rather than later. McInnes would be throwing away a hard earned reputation by taking that poisoned chalice.

[Hibee87]

Discussing it with a current at work and even he says who would want it?

Thinks Eck might be in the frame till end of season or even Kenny Miller, but as for a straight in 'reputable' manager.......there is none.

[Sergey]

Alex Neil must be in with a shout of getting the gig. I'm unsure of his hun allegiances, though.

[JohnM1875]

According to someone over on ‘the bears den’;

‘’It's apparently an 'already scheduled board meeting' - that's why King's still here - as opposed to an emergency board meeting to sack Pedro.’

Which I really hope is true as Pedro has to stay.

[Forza Fred]

Alex McLesish short term?

[Hermit Crab]

Kings penniless according to his lawyer so can he afford to sack him?

Along with Sally. That sounds plausible. Can't see anybody taking the job who isn't gambling on somehow turning them into a decent side. Mcinnes apparently was offered the job but he wouldn't resign and the clubs couldn't agree compensation. Pedro then got the job. That was from something with coaching knowledge in the West. After last night's whipping by celtic will Mcinnes realistically think he would be able to in any way challenge celtic with that sevco team. Would be a huge gamble. Depends on what his salary would be I suppose.

2 different things.

King hasn't the cash to buy the other shares.

It's the club that have to pay off the manager.

Dream team - Butcher as manager/DoF, Brown as first team coach. McCoist to assist fat Jim in the PR department.

You know, that's exactly how they 'think' (using the word very loosely).

His middle name's Francis? He's obviously 'not a Rangers man'.

I changed my car this year - bought a FIAT.

First week I had it a guy I kinda know - definitely a 'Rangers man' - said to me, "What did you get that for? That's a priest's car."

True Proddies apparently never buy Italian cars. Fact. They've all been blessed by the Pope, apparently.

Personally, I think they should go for young Cathro. Never got a proper chance at the PBS - hidden depths in that young man.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Doesn't matter who they bring in. They'll get the same results. They are comparing results against their cheating years. Like Hearts they need to suck it up and accept reality.

Pedro was appointed on a 3 year deal, and he cost them £400k in compo apparently. Expensive mistake if they do punt him.

Money's no problem - they can just go bust and start all over again in League Two.

[Wembley67]

Sure I read/heard Kenny Miller is in contention, I may have made that up though as I cannae recall where this info came from

[007]

Souness should take the job so he can save Scottish football.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Ideal role for Cathro. The Wi-Fi connection at Ibrox is superb

[Lancs Harp]

Ray Wilkins is the man for the job. At least it wont turn him to drink.

No, it's not all over again. It's the same... the continuity myth...

They didn't restart in League 2 - they were demoted etc etc etc

[Iain G]

Fed up with this knee jerk reaction in football to sacking managers when they are actually performing well and certainly better than any of their predecessors.

Pedro has taken this new club to the dizzying heights of fourth in the Premier League, a position that not many can say they have achieved, and due to a rush of blood to the head at boardroom level, probably due to their new found proximity to the summit of Scottish football, they have developed delusions of grandeur and now want to sack the most successful manager in their history!!

Football has gone mad, where will it all end!!

I get your point, but I was giving it some thought last night. If they approached McInness.. you'd imagine they'll promise him a barrel of money to spend (which they haven't got obviously) and ask him to target Celtic (usual). He may see it as a new challenge (and increased cash for himself) while appreciating that he may not be able to take Aberdeen much further.

On the other hand.. he's well-regarded just now and the huns job hasn't exactly been a great profile-builder for managers of late.

In conclusion - Pedro must stay.
