Key Takeaways from Danny Rohl's Rangers Media Unveiling

Exactly 135 days following the previous coach's first press conference as Rangers head coach, his replacement Danny Rohl faced reporters at Rangers' stadium for the first time.

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

The ex- Wednesday boss was accompanied by club chairman Andrew Cavenagh, along with the frequently questioned duo of football director Thelwell and CEO Patrick Stewart.

But what exactly did we learn from the 36-year-old German's first public appearance as Rangers boss?

The Manager's Primary Focus - Victory is Everything

A single message emerged loud and clear from the new coach's initial presentation before the Scottish media - he recognizes the need to secure victories, and do so quickly.

The previous manager Martin lasted only 17 games and 123 days as manager, so the inquiry emerged about what timeframe Rohl believes is realistic to turn around the underperforming team.

Although deftly sidestepping a direct answer that could bring future pressure, the coach's communication was very evident.

"Hopefully as soon as possible," he stated. "This 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 securing victories. That is what I demand.

"One thing is also clear - I need all players to comprehend how we want to perform. I return to my main message: victory comes first, it's attractive and unity. If you follow this sequence, I believe that I'll stay for years here."

Pressure is Standard

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

We've witnessed how hostile environments can become at football clubs when performances decline. Demonstrations have almost become a regular part of the matchday atmosphere on each part of Glasgow currently.

As the club's most youthful manager in history, the inquiry asked about what qualities Rohl believes he possesses that would enable him to handle, never mind thrive, in among the highest-pressure roles in British football?

"I think pressure in this business are standard," he stated. "You must learn that very quickly.

"I believe some people might mention my youth but I have been 16 years on this path. I had an excellent opportunity to work with the German club and be just the assistant manager, but I felt the reality to be a head coach and the demands you face.

"When you start getting results and then some critics claim you need to produce entertaining soccer. That becomes the phase but that's exactly what I want. I relish those expectations and I look forward about what's ahead."

Thelwell Explains Chermiti Signing & Appointing His Son

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

Much discussion has concerned the hiring of his son as head of recruitment, with fans unconvinced about his credentials for the role.

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

"It's always awkward to hear and optically I believe everyone understood when we made this step to hire him that he'd be seen in a particular way," Thelwell said.

"The reality of circumstances is that we want to attract the top players here.

"My perspective on his professional path and background is he required no my assistance in soccer.

"He served at Villa as a senior scout, he then moved to Norwich City as scouting chief and then was elevated to development role.

"Prior to our recruited him, multiple top division teams sought to sign him. What we did from the start of proceedings was consult with the CEO, Andrew and deputy chairman Paraag Marathe about this matter.

"I was highly open and I believe Robbie probably underwent a stricter procedure than any other who's employed by this football club.

"I'm certain is that he'll labor constantly to achieve success for Rangers and I'm looking forward seeing him demonstrating that he'll become a valuable staff member for Rangers."

Additionally, Thelwell supported the signing of forward Chermiti, who arrived at the club for a reported initial fee of £8m, after failing to find the net in 24 games for his previous club.

The sporting director who transferred the Portugal young international to Merseyside from Sporting Lisbon - again for large funds in a fifteen million pound deal.

The question came if he stands by his expensive purchase, who is yet to score in seven matches for the club.

"Yes, completely," Thelwell answered. "I think the striker is a player who's possesses great ability.

"I haven't doubted him in any way. Again, I think the manager will help to get the best out of Youssef.

"These are early days for him, he's a young talent and naturally with inexperienced players they occasionally require patience.

"However, I'm convinced throughout of his time here he's going to prove that he's a highly capable player."

The CEO Understands Fan Frustration and Anger

Stewart was also facing firing line, given the criticism that has been directed his way by certain club fans.

There was even a banner in the stadium during the last draw with Dundee United inviting Stewart - and the sporting director - to depart before being removed for him.

Similar to the football director, the CEO did not avoid the issue.

"I totally appreciate the disappointment and anger that fans are feeling because performances recently haven't met expectations and nobody's satisfied with those," he stated.

"The pain and disappointment fans experience is matched within the boardroom.

"Also understand that there must exist an outlet for that dissatisfaction and in my role, I'm responsible.

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