The short version: I haven't been calling for Danny Rohl's head. I said he should be given next season. That doesn't mean I'm blind to what hasn't been delivered so far. Fans are allowed to want improvement without wanting a firing.
Where I'm coming from
Look, I'm a believer in backing managers to a point. The point for me is results and progress. The problem is that, so far, Danny Rohl has not produced anything I'd call a clear success as manager. No trophies, and at times the form has been patchy. Two wins in seven matches is the kind of run that sparks debate in every dressing room and every stand.
Comparisons and context
You can compare managers all you like — people point to the Motherwell manager and say he's got silverware. Fine. I'm simply making the observation that Rohl hasn't got that. I also brought up Steven Gerrard only to remind people that time isn't an automatic cure; long leashes don't always work out the way supporters hope.
What I want to see
This isn't a sacked-or-stay plea. It's a demand for clarity. If we're keeping faith with Rohl into next season, show signs of building something now: better consistency, clearer structure on the pitch, fewer dropped points from positions of control. Fans can be patient, but patience isn't endless — it's conditional on visible improvement.
And just so there's no misunderstanding: I haven't called for Rohl to be sacked. I want answers and progress. If that comes, fair play. If it doesn't, then the conversation changes. Simple as that.
As many readers on Rangers News Views will recognise, this is where opinion and evidence meet — and right now I'm waiting to see more evidence.
