Rohl seeks to add leaders & says Rangers ready to spend

Yahoo Sports

Danny Rohl is confident the Rangers board will bankroll his squad revamp this summer because they "see the potential at the moment". The German, who says he has been given assurances over his Ibrox future by chairman Andrew Cavenagh, knows change is needed after Rangers were consigned to a third-place Premiership finish and trophyless season. The Rangers board have spent around £40m on the squad this season and Rohl was asked if they are ready to invest significantly again.

"I cannot guarantee you how much, but I can guarantee you that they are really open to go again forward because they see the potential at the moment, they see really what we missed, and what we can do with the right signings," he said "I'm confident in this. I think this is again the great set-up because I like it at the moment here, because we are ambitious, we are honest to each other, but we want to move forward. "I think there will be changes, and we have to change.

We started in January, we made some good signings. "And in the summer we want to move forward, bring quality in and bring leadership in. It's both things we have to bring together in the right balance.

"We have not a team, we need a team. The team must be very strong and for this we need different profiles. "We were clear before the split what we want, what we have to do, and we are clear now as well what we want to do.

"In case of influence, we knew exactly the profiles we want. I think the main topic in the last days and games was then again how we have to find the balance between going back to new leadership, because we lose some leaders, and this is a part as well for the recruitment. Set standards, high standards, on and off the pitch every day for this club.
