what isn't helping at all by not having a permanent manager is the sense of uncertainly it creates. Nobody knows where they stand, especially the players that actually give a shit. Something that I think Traore was actually trying to suggest in his message. I know Pearson isn't the ideal candidate but he is a strong character and he will draw a line in the sand very quickly as regards to his expectations. Same with Moyes. We just need to get this sorted out quickly, though it might very well be tied to the sale of the club as to why they haven't made an appointment yet.

After being there today TV, things are spiralling out of control.  If they don't start acting soon and make decisions, then the club could be in a much worse state in a few weeks time.  I honestly think we need to forget talks of a takeover for the time being unless it is actually imminent and go ahead and appoint a manager now.  I wasn't in favour of Pearson, but if it is to be him then so be it.  Something needs to be done.

I thought they were waiting until relegation was confirmed. There is no excuse for not getting Pearson, Moyes or Bruce in now. Any of of those will do me. Unless Mourinho wants the job!

There isn't, nor was there ever, any chance of a new manager being announced this side of 10:00 May 16th.

In which case the job will have probably become a lot more difficult by that point.  The lack of leadership at the club is blindingly obvious.

what you didn't believe bobcat's nailed on prediction that Pearson would take over as soon as relegation was mathematically confirmed?

No one. There's just some guy with zero football experience turning on the lights every day and turning them off when he clocks out doing pretty much bugger all because his pay master has given him as much real power as I have.

No manager
No coaching team
Skeleton scouting staff
No board

Zombie club with no brain, no heart and no soul at the moment.

Just a thought but would we actually name a new manager if we were going to be taken over in the next 2 weeks say. Wouldn't we just leave it to the new guys, unless of course we are not being taken over in which case we need to name a new manager pronto!

Actually its a good point. No CEO, no manager (Black is checked out), Absent owner and a Chairman who seems only interested in finding how to cut more costs.

I think you are forgetting that we do have a romantically nourished owner though, what more could we want ?

I'm not convinced on moyes, I'm not overly keen on Pearson but I don't want Bruce or McCarthy either. No point in bringing in an unknown as we need someone who knows the championship. Overall I think we need a strict discipline regime. I'll go with Pearson even though he is an ostrich

That said I'd have warburton but I'm not sure he'd leave rangers
