Key Takeaways from Danny Rohl's Rangers Press Conference

Exactly four and a half months after the previous coach's initial media briefing as the club's head coach, his replacement Danny Rohl met with reporters at Ibrox for the first time.

The magnitude of the challenge ahead of him is well known, given his predecessor's chaotic and disappointing four-month spell.

The former Sheffield Wednesday manager was joined by club chairman the chairman, along with the much-criticized duo of football director Kevin Thelwell and chief executive Stewart.

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

Rohl's Primary Focus - Victory is Everything

A single message came through clearly from Rohl's first appearance before the local press - he recognizes the need to win matches, and do so rapidly.

The previous manager Martin lasted only 17 games and 123 days as manager, so the question emerged about what timeframe the new man thinks is realistic to transform the underperforming squad.

Although deftly avoiding a specific response that might create future pressure, the coach's message was very evident.

"Hopefully very quickly," he said. "This is essential.

"In this business you have limited opportunity. One can talk about future plans but it's understood it's about the short-term and the short-term is about winning games. This is my requirement.

"Another aspect remains clear - I need every squad member to understand our intended to play. I return to my main theme: it's winning, it's attractive and unity. By following this sequence, I'm convinced that I will remain for years here."

Pressure is Standard

Martin required a police escort to exit the Falkirk Stadium after his last game in charge.

We've seen how hostile environments can turn at sports teams when performances decline. Protests have almost become a regular aspect of the matchday experience on each part of the city currently.

As Rangers' youngest manager in history, the inquiry was posed about what qualities Rohl believes he has that would enable him to cope, never mind excel, in among the highest-pressure positions in UK soccer?

"I think pressure in football are standard," he stated. "One needs to understand that rapidly.

"I believe certain individuals might mention my age but I'm a decade and a half on this path. I experienced an excellent chance to be at the German club and be only an assistant coach, but I felt the reality to be a head coach and the pressure you face.

"When you start getting results and then some critics will say you need to produce entertaining football. That's the next phase but precisely my intention. I enjoy that challenge and I'm excited for the future."

The Sporting Director Explains Chermiti Signing & Hiring His Son

There were plenty of questions from the media for Thelwell.

Significant attention has concerned the hiring of Robbie Thelwell as recruitment chief, with fans unconvinced about his credentials for the role.

However, he justified and clarified the decision to bring his son to Ibrox.

"It remains uncomfortable to hear and in appearance I think everyone understood when we made this step to appoint Robbie that he'd be seen in a particular way," Thelwell said.

"The reality of the situation is that we aim to bring the very best talent here.

"My perspective on Robbie's career and situation is he required no my assistance in soccer.

"He served at Aston Villa as head scout, he then joined Norwich as scouting chief and then was elevated to development role.

"Before we recruited him, multiple top division teams wanted to sign him. Our approach from the start of proceedings was consult with the CEO, the chairman and deputy chairman Marathe about this matter.

"I was highly open and I think Robbie probably experienced a stricter process than anybody else who's employed by this football club.

"I'm certain is that he will work 25/8 to be successful for this football club and I'm looking forward seeing him demonstrating that he's going to be an excellent employee for the club."

Additionally, Thelwell supported the signing of striker Chermiti, who arrived at Rangers for a reported first payment of eight million pounds, having failed to score in 24 appearances for his previous club.

It was Thelwell who brought the Portugal young international to Liverpool from Sporting - again for large funds in a fifteen million pound transfer.

The question came if he supports his multi-million pound signing, who hasn't yet score in seven outings for Rangers.

"Yes, very much so," Thelwell answered. "I believe the striker is a player who's got huge potential.

"I've never questioned him whatsoever. Again, I think the manager will help to maximize the potential out of the player.

"It's very early days for him, he's a young talent and naturally with inexperienced players they sometimes require patience.

"However, I'm convinced over the course of his career here he'll demonstrate that he is very, very good player."

The CEO Acknowledges Supporters' Disappointment and Hurt

The chief executive was in the media firing line, considering the criticism that has been aimed at him by certain of the club's own supporters.

Additionally, there was a sign in the stadium during the last tie with United suggesting Stewart - and Thelwell - to depart before being removed for him.

Similar to the sporting director, Stewart didn't evade the issue.

"I completely appreciate the disappointment and anger that the supporters are feeling because results this season haven't met good enough and nobody's happy with those," he said.

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

"Also understand that there must exist a channel for those frustrations and in my role, that's me.

"I serve as focal point for such issues and my role as a
