admin‘Shambles’ – Kris Boyd Reacts to Rangers Appointing Danny Rohl
Rangers recently confirmed the appointment of Danny Rohl as their new manager, and former Ibrox striker Kris Boyd has labelled the whole recruitment process a ‘shambles’.
It’s been a difficult process for the Gers, with a host of different deals falling through over the last few weeks. Steven Gerrard looked set to take over, but GIVEMESPORT understands that he pulled out at the last minute, despite a move being close to being agreed, as he felt it wasn’t the right time to return to the club.
GIVEMESPORT reported on Monday that Rangers were back in talks with Rohl, despite the former Sheffield Wednesday manager initially pulling out of the race. Kevin Muscat did look set to make the move to Ibrox, where he previously spent time as a player, but that also fell through late in the process.
Kris Boyd: Rangers Manager Process a ‘Shambles’
Speaking on Sky Sports, Boyd suggested that the Rangers appointment process has ‘been a shambles’.
“It’s been a shambles. There’s no getting away from it. Rangers will tell you they had to get through a process to get to Danny Rohl. I think when you look back to the timing wasn’t right for Steven Gerrard, inside a few hours. He jumped on a plane, he came from Bahrain to London to meet Rangers, then decided a few hours later that the timing wasn’t right. Kevin Muscat, well down the road with him, but it felt as if he was the man to take him forward, so why did they not wait?”
Boyd also lumped the pressure on Rohl early doors, suggesting that he has to get results at Ibrox.
“There’s a lot of inconsistencies, but look, Rohl is the main that’s been named now as the new Rangers head coach, and I’ll say it again, he has to get results.”
There’s not doubt the process will have been a bit worrying for Rangers supporters, and it took over two weeks over an international break for them to find a replacement for Russell Martin, who was sacked after winning just one Scottish Premiership game this season. The appointment of Rohl might have gone down better with supporters had it been done within a few days of Martin’s sacking, but it’s taken a long time with multiple managers falling through.
