Key Takeaways from Danny Rohl's Rangers Introduction

Exactly four and a half months following Russell Martin's initial media briefing as Rangers head coach, successor the German coach met with the media at Rangers' stadium for the initial occasion.

The scale of the challenge ahead of him is widely recognized, given his predecessor's turbulent and disappointing four-month spell.

The former Sheffield Wednesday manager was joined by chairman Andrew Cavenagh, along with the much-criticized pair of football director Kevin Thelwell and CEO Stewart.

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

Rohl's Main Priority - Winning is Everything

A single message came through loud and clear from the new coach's first appearance in front of the local press - he understands the necessity to win matches, and do so quickly.

His predecessor Russell Martin lasted only 17 matches and 123 days in charge, so the question arose about how long the new man believes is reasonable to turn around the underperforming squad.

Although deftly avoiding a direct answer that could bring later expectations, Rohl's communication was very evident.

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

"In football you have limited time. One can talk about future plans but it's understood it concerns immediate results and that period involves securing victories. This is what I demand.

"One thing is also obvious - I require all players to comprehend how we want to perform. I return to my primary theme: it's winning, it's attractive and unity. If you follow this sequence, I believe that I will remain very long here."

Expectations are Standard

The previous manager needed a police escort to exit the stadium after his last match as manager.

We've witnessed how toxic environments can turn at football clubs when results decline. Protests have almost become a regular part of the matchday experience on both sides of Glasgow these days.

As Rangers' youngest manager in history, the inquiry was posed about which attributes the coach thinks he possesses that would allow him to cope, never mind excel, in one of the most pressurized positions in UK soccer?

"In my opinion expectations in football are standard," he commented. "You must learn that very quickly.

"I think certain individuals could reference my youth but I'm 16 years in this career. I experienced a great chance to work with Bayern Munich and be only an assistant manager, but I experienced the reality to manage a team and the pressure you face.

"When you start getting results and then certain people claim you need to produce entertaining football. That becomes the phase but precisely my intention. I relish those expectations and I look forward about the future."

The Sporting Director Explains Chermiti Signing & Hiring His Son

The media pack had plenty of inquiries from journalists directed at Thelwell.

Much discussion has concerned the appointment of his son as recruitment chief, with supporters skeptical about his qualifications for the role.

However, he defended and clarified the choice to recruit his son to the club.

"It remains uncomfortable to hear and optically I believe we all agreed when we took this step to hire him that he'd be viewed in a particular way," Thelwell said.

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

"My view on his professional path and background is he required no family help in soccer.

"He served at Aston Villa as head scout, after which he moved to Norwich City as head of scouting and then was elevated to development role.

"Prior to our recruited him, multiple Premier League clubs sought to acquire him. What we did right at 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 believe Robbie probably experienced a stricter process than any other employee by this football club.

"I'm certain is that he'll labor constantly to be successful for this football club and I anticipate to him demonstrating that he's going to be an excellent employee for the club."

Thelwell also defended the acquisition of striker Chermiti, who arrived at the club for an alleged initial fee of £8m, having failed to score in 24 games for his previous club.

It was Thelwell who brought the Portuguese youth international to Liverpool from Sporting - again for large funds in a fifteen million pound deal.

He was asked if he supports his expensive purchase, who hasn't yet score in seven matches for the club.

"Absolutely, very much so," Thelwell answered. "I believe the striker is a player who's got great ability.

"I've never doubted him whatsoever. Again, I believe the manager will assist in get the best out of Youssef.

"It's very initial stages for him, he remains young talent and naturally with young talents they occasionally require patience.

"But I'm certain over the course of his career here he's going to prove that he's a very, very good player."

Stewart Understands Fan Disappointment and Hurt

The chief executive was facing firing line, given the vitriol that has been directed at him by certain of the club's own supporters.

There was even a sign in the Sandy Jardine stand during the last draw with United suggesting Stewart - and Thelwell - to pack his bags before being removed for him.

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

"I totally appreciate the disappointment and anger that the supporters are feeling because performances recently haven't been expectations and nobody's satisfied with them," he said.

"The hurt and frustration they feel is matched inside the boardroom.

"Also understand that there must exist a channel for those frustrations and as chief executive, I'm responsible.

"I'm a focal point for those and my responsibility as a
