Chris Sutton Reveals ‘Intriguing’ Future of Rangers Manager Role Amid San Francisco 49ers Takeover Talks
Rangers have appointed club legend Barry Ferguson as interim manager until the end of the season, but the big question remains: who will be the next permanent boss? Chris Sutton weighed in on the situation, particularly with the potential San Francisco 49ers takeover looming.
Ferguson, one of Rangers’ most iconic midfielders, is back at the helm in a managerial capacity after a storied playing career that included multiple Scottish Premier League titles, cups, and a pivotal role in the club’s 2003 treble. His return, however, is temporary, leading to speculation about the club’s future direction.
The takeover talk is heating up, with reports last week suggesting 49ers Enterprises are in advanced negotiations to invest in Rangers. This news came just days after Philippe Clement’s dismissal following a disappointing defeat to St Mirren.
On the Monday Night Club podcast, Sutton pointed to Rangers’ decision to bring in familiar faces like Ferguson, Neil McCann, and Alan McGregor for the interim period, but added, “What’s really interesting is the talk of the 49ers’ potential takeover, and how that will shape the future managerial direction.”
Should the 49ers complete the deal, it raises the burning question: Will they make a managerial change immediately, or will they hold off until the end of the season? With Rangers trailing Celtic by 13 points, any delay in addressing the managerial situation could be seen as unacceptable by the club’s passionate supporters.
