We can all see the contrast between where the club was under Russel Martin and how it's looked since Danny Rohl arrived. To be fair, Rohl has given fans hope again; that matters more than some are willing to admit.
From despair to a fighting chance
Under Martin we were, by the poster's own account, 13 points adrift and it felt bleak. Players looked disjointed, relationships were strained and the support had largely stopped believing in a title tilt. Then Rohl took over and the mood changed. Gradually, methodically, the team started to grind results out and the gap closed. That climb back to the top — even if only for a short while — restored belief across Ibrox.
Yes, there have been mistakes
Let's not pretend everything's perfect. We've dropped points we shouldn't have and those slip-ups matter in a tight race. You can see why some fans are frustrated, especially now we sit a few points off the summit. But knee‑jerk calls for the manager's head ignore the context. Rohl hasn't had a proper pre-season, he inherited a squad not of his making and he's been working under pressure from day one.
Let him have next season
The sensible route is obvious: give Rohl the summer to shape the team. A full pre-season, a transfer window to bring in players he trusts and the chance to stamp his ideas on the squad. That's how you fairly judge a coach. If things still go wrong after that, we can revisit the argument. Right now though, throwing him out because of a wobble would be shortsighted.
I've been quiet on the boards, but I think the poster sums up a simple truth: Rohl rekindled hope. It may yet fall short this season, but don't confuse a near miss with failure. Let him build properly and we'll know what we've got next year.
