KENNY Miller has urged the Rangers board not to rush in to appointing their next permanent manager and cautioned against a summer clear-out at the Ibrox club.
The 37-year-old, whose talks over a new contract have been put on hold while the club consider their options for the front office, has been encouraged by the suggestion the club are to recruit a director of football as well as a head coach, but feels that wholesale changes to the playing staff assembled by Mark Warburton could be counter-productive.
"Listen, of course we want to see some fantastic manager come in, whether he be Scottish, British or foreign, but for me it’s just important we get the right man, whoever it is," he added.
"The noises I’m hearing about the structure they’re trying to put in place are positive. If a new manager comes in on a permanent basis then he can assess the squad and see where he is at, build his own opinions on where he needs to improve and then that can be done in the summer.
"But a major overhaul of a squad is never a recipe for success. There is no way you can keep turning over eight, nine, ten players every summer and expecting to be successful."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
