To be fair, Danny has steadied the ship since the Russell Martin debacle and deserves a proper chance to build. We shouldn't knee jerk after a rough start; backing him now makes sense and he has already shown he can steady things.
Why patience matters
Changing managers and demanding instant perfection rarely works at a club of this size. Danny has had one full transfer window, started to work out how the squad needs tweaking and begun to put his stamp on the team. Yes, he's made mistakes. So what? Managers learn on the job. The important thing is he has reclaimed credibility and got us back competing despite the chaos earlier in the campaign.
Summer is the real test
With new ownership willing to invest, the summer is where plans become real. It's about smarter recruitment, not panic buys. The priority has to be filling obvious gaps and adding players who suit the manager's shape and mentality.
Recruitment needs a clear plan, not just splashy names. Blend experienced heads with hungry young lads, target positions that fit Danny's preferred shape and avoid rushed signings in July. Done right, the window will give us balance and proper competition across the squad.
Keep united and start again
Fans get frustrated when results don't go our way. I do too. But calling for Danny's head now feels premature and unfair. Whoever is in charge needs backing to plan a proper preseason, assess the squad, and begin with everyone starting on zero points. If we rally behind the manager and team, we stand a better chance of making the next campaign a proper push.
Final thought
This has been one of the most interesting periods since 2012: new owners, a new manager and a real opportunity to rebuild properly. Let's channel frustration into constructive support, let Danny bring in the players he wants and see what a full preseason can produce. I've said on Rangers News Views that we should let the manager operate and judge him properly next season. Patience doesn't mean blind acceptance, but common sense.
