"Rangers fans seem united in their shock at Gerrard's decision but split about whether it is a good or bad thing for the club, with chairman Patrick Stewart, sporting director Kevin Thelwell and the new American owners also under scrutiny. Brian: Hugely disappointed with Gerard's decision. I felt energised at the prospect of him becoming manager after the debacle of Russell Martins tenure, when I'd just lost all hope and belief in the club."
"We are now left in this vacuum of hopelessness where I feel lost. Jeff: Everyone is really upset that it's not worked out with Gerrard, but most likely this is because they're focused on their corporate set up. This director of football role is actually hurting the club. We're forced to look to inferior set-ups to make sure we can ensure that the director of football gets his position strengthen."
Steven Gerrard withdrew from consideration to return as Rangers head coach following his January exit from Al Ettifaq, with timing believed to influence the decision. Rangers initially held positive discussions with Gerrard but must now search for a successor to the sacked Russell Martin. Fans reacted with shock and were split between disappointment and a belief that Gerrard could not fix deeper problems. Supporters criticized chairman Patrick Stewart, sporting director Kevin Thelwell, and the new American owners for the club's direction. Fan comments stressed lost hope, concerns about the director of football structure, and the need to rebuild confidence, fitness and defensive basics.
