Rangers boss Barry Ferguson is already planning for the future, even though the club’s ownership situation is still up in the air. The 49ers Enterprises takeover is yet to be finalized, leaving Ferguson’s future as interim manager uncertain. He’s done a solid job so far, leading Rangers to the quarter-finals of the Europa League, but rumors suggest the new owners might want their own manager for the long-term.
Despite the uncertainty, Ferguson is apparently already thinking ahead. According to Keith Jackson, he’s likely got a list of transfer targets ready to go, just in case the new owners offer him a longer-term contract. Ferguson is known for being thorough in his work, so it makes sense he’d be preparing for the summer transfer window and ensuring the squad is ready for next season.
Though Ferguson’s managerial experience is limited, his results with Rangers have been positive, with a 66.7% win rate since taking charge. However, his tenure isn’t without challenges, like the narrow win over Dundee that required a 93rd-minute goal. Still, Ferguson has been vocal about what needs to be done in the summer, and if the new owners see his preparedness and alignment with the club’s goals, he could get the chance to prove himself.
For now, Ferguson’s focus is on securing more comfortable victories and showing the owners that he’s the right man for the job. Once the 49ers finalize the takeover, they’ll make their decision on whether to stick with Ferguson or bring in someone new. This is Ferguson’s chance to make his case.
