Rangers are back to square one after dismissing Michael Beale, before hiring former AS Monaco manager Philippe Clement as his replacement. The Gers will be hoping to enjoy far more success under their new manager than they did under Beale, who left the Scottish Premiership without ever really making his mark in the hot seat. As ever, a new manager will likely mean plenty of changes on and off the pitch, especially when the January transfer window opens.
The Scottish giants have already set their sights on an off-field upgrade, who one particular pundit believes is out of their reach, given his recent success at his current club.
Whilst the January transfer window is yet to open, limiting the improvements that Clement and Rangers can make on the pitch, they can at least prepare for it away from the Ibrox turf. And that has reportedly led them to Brighton & Hove Albion head of recruitment Sam Jewell, who they want to appoint as their new technical director. The latest Rangers news, via Fabrizio Romano, stated that Jewell is considering the offer, but is hesitant to step away from Brighton at their highest point in history.
Reacting to the news, Frank McAvennie told Football Insider: “Why would you leave Brighton where you have got free reign to do whatever you want? Whoever comes in at Rangers will be given some money to play with but not as much. I think Rangers have got to stop living in cuckoo land, they are not going to get a guy from Brighton unless there is a problem with him there. Why would he even contemplate leaving Brighton?
