Overview
- Danny Rohl was presented as head coach after a drawn-out search in which Steven Gerrard and Kevin Muscat withdrew, with the club re-engaging Rohl after he initially stepped away.
- Chairman Andrew Cavenagh insisted CEO Patrick Stewart and sporting director Kevin Thelwell retain his full backing, saying any missteps are shared and that accountability applies across the board.
- Cavenagh said the ownership injected about £20m in the summer and signalled more funds could be available in January, describing the squad as incomplete and needing greater experience and steel.
- Kevin Thelwell defended the recruitment strategy and the appointment of his son, Robbie, as head of recruitment, and he backed the £8m signing of Youssef Chermiti as a long-term talent.
- Supporter unrest has intensified with protests targeting Stewart and Thelwell, and Rohl acknowledged the demand for immediate wins as he finalises his backroom team, including plans to add a former Rangers player.
