"Danny Rohl served his apprenticeship at Sheffield Wednesday. As wacky a place as Wednesday was - and is - under the ownership of Thai tuna tycoon Dejphon Chansin, the German's time there can be seen as an 89-game warm-up routine. From frying pan to furnace, Rohl is the new Rangers head coach. He becomes the eighth permanent manager/head coach of the Ibrox club in little over a decade and the 16th when you factor in all those interim guys who have drifted across their landscape."
"The new ownership was supposed to bring an end to the pandemonium, but it hasn't. There was supposed to be stability but instead there's wholesale unrest. And almost unprecedented amounts of fury. Chairman Andrew Cavenagh, vice-chairman Paraag Marathe, chief executive Patrick Stewart and sporting director Kevin Thelwell have pulled off the most extraordinary feat of taking a really poor team, investing 30m-40m in it and making it worse."
Danny Rohl arrives at Rangers after an 89-game apprenticeship at Sheffield Wednesday and becomes the club's eighth permanent manager in just over a decade. Only one recent manager exceeded 100 games, while several predecessors lasted far fewer matches. Rohl had reportedly withdrawn interest the previous week before accepting a role at a club beset by rancour, uncertainty and angry fans. Longstanding boardroom chaos has included revolving personnel across ownership, executive and sporting roles. New ownership invested an estimated £30m-£40m but failed to stabilise the club and appears to have made on-field performance worse, fueling major unrest.
