'Gradual build-up' the plan for Rangers' potential new owners?
With Rangers' disappointing season trundling towards a conclusion, fans are looking ahead to a summer of huge change at club are set to come under new ownership - talks are continuing with a US-based consortium including the San Francisco 49ers - and a new manager also has to be might Ibrox fans expect in year one of the new era?"I don't see 49ers and Andrew Cavenagh coming in and just throwing money at it and saying we have to go and win the league in season one," says Chris Jack of the Rangers on the Scottish football podcast, Jack added: "If you look at the way they have operated elsewhere, it has been a bit more of gradual build-up."And of course, in Glasgow, second is last and if you don't win the league, it's a disaster. Rangers fans will never accept not winning the title, not winning domestic trophies and not challenging in later stages of European competition. So the new owners will come in with all that burden and all that expectation."But I do expect them to try and build Rangers up. It's almost a bit of both. They will have to make inroads very quickly. They will have to be successful early on. But there will be a longer-term plan for the club to grow and evolve as the investment continues."In 12 months' time they need to have a trophy in the cabinet at Ibrox. Ultimately that's how their first season will be judged."I think they come in with a of a feelgood factor behind them. That feelgood factor will only remain behind them for as long as Rangers fans see that they are making the right decisions."Paraag Marathe, the Leeds United chairman and the force behind 49ers Enterprises - the investment wing of the 49ers NFL franchise - is a key player in the prospective Rangers Normanton, co-host of Leeds podcast The Square Ball, says: "I can't see the fanbases of either club willing to accept being second place in this particular pecking order."There may be some transfer of players between the club, but it doesn't feel like we're entering like a Red Bull/City Football Group system where there's going to be a constant churn of players between."
