Major Insights from Danny Rohl's Rangers Press Conference

Nearly 135 days after the previous coach's first press conference as Rangers manager, his replacement the German coach faced reporters at Rangers' stadium for the first time.

The magnitude of the challenge ahead of him is well known, considering Martin's turbulent and unsuccessful 123-day tenure.

The ex- Wednesday boss was joined by club chairman Andrew Cavenagh, along with the frequently questioned duo of sporting director Kevin Thelwell and chief executive Stewart.

But what precisely was revealed from the young coach's maiden media outing as the club's manager?

The Manager's Main Priority - Winning is Everything

One thing emerged clearly from Rohl's initial presentation in front of the Scottish media - he understands the necessity to secure victories, and achieve this rapidly.

His predecessor Russell Martin managed just 17 games and 123 days as manager, so the inquiry emerged about how long the new man believes is realistic to transform the struggling squad.

While skillfully sidestepping a direct answer that could bring later expectations, Rohl's communication was very evident.

"Hopefully very quickly," he said. "That is crucial.

"In football you have limited opportunity. One can talk about future plans but it's understood it's about immediate results and that period involves winning games. This is my requirement.

"One thing remains clear - I need every squad member to understand our intended to perform. I come back to my main theme: victory comes first, entertaining football and unity. If you follow this sequence, I'm convinced that I will remain for years here."

Pressure is Normal

The previous manager needed a police escort to leave the Falkirk Stadium after his last match as manager.

We've seen how toxic situations can turn at sports teams when results are poor. Protests have almost become an expected aspect of game day experience on each part of Glasgow these days.

As Rangers' youngest manager in history, the question was posed about which attributes the coach thinks he possesses that would enable him to cope, never mind thrive, in among the most pressurized positions in British football?

"I think pressure in this business is normal," he commented. "You must learn that very quickly.

"I think certain individuals could reference my age but I'm a decade and a half on this path. I experienced a great opportunity to be at the German club and be only an assistant coach, but I experienced what it means to manage a team and the demands you face.

"When you start getting results and then some critics will say you must play attractive football. That's the next phase but precisely my intention. I relish that challenge and I look forward for what's ahead."

Thelwell Defends Chermiti Signing & Hiring Family Member

The media pack had plenty of questions from journalists for Thelwell.

Much discussion has concerned the appointment of Robbie Thelwell as recruitment chief, with fans unconvinced about his qualifications for the role.

However, he justified and clarified the choice to bring his son to the club.

"It remains awkward to hear and in appearance I think we all agreed when we made this decision to hire Robbie that he'd be seen in a particular way," Thelwell stated.

"The reality of the situation is that we want to bring the very best players here.

"My perspective on Robbie's career and situation is he didn't need my assistance in football.

"He's worked at Villa as a senior scout, after which he moved to Norwich City as scouting chief and then got promoted to player pathways manager.

"Prior to our hiring him, multiple top division clubs wanted to sign him. What we did from the beginning of the process was consult with the CEO, the chairman and deputy chairman Marathe about this situation.

"I remained extremely transparent and I think Robbie probably experienced a stricter procedure than any other employee by the team.

"What I do know is that he'll labor constantly to be successful for Rangers and I anticipate seeing him demonstrating that he'll become a valuable staff member for the club."

Thelwell also supported the acquisition of forward Chermiti, who joined Rangers for an alleged first payment of £8m, after failing to score in 24 appearances for Everton.

It was Thelwell who brought the Portuguese youth international to Liverpool from Sporting - once more for significant money in a fifteen million pound transfer.

He was asked if he supports his multi-million pound signing, who hasn't yet score in seven matches for the club.

"Absolutely, very much so," Thelwell answered. "I think Youssef Chermiti is a player who's got great ability.

"I haven't questioned him in any way. Similarly, I think Danny will assist in maximize the potential out of Youssef.

"It's very initial stages for the young player, he remains young talent and of course with young talents they sometimes take time.

"However, I'm convinced throughout of his time at the club he'll demonstrate that he is very, very good footballer."

Stewart Acknowledges Fan Disappointment and Hurt

Stewart was also facing scrutiny, given the criticism that has been directed his way by some club fans.

Additionally, there was a banner in the stadium during the last draw with United suggesting him - and the sporting director - to depart before being removed for them.

Like his sporting director, the CEO did not evade the issue.

"I completely understand the frustration and anger that the supporters are experiencing because results this season haven't met good enough and no one is satisfied with them," he stated.

"The pain and frustration fans experience is matched within the leadership.

"Recognize that there must exist an outlet for those frustrations and in my role, that's me.

"I serve as focal point for those and my role as a
