Key Takeaways from Rohl's Rangers Introduction

Exactly 135 days following the previous coach's first press conference as the club's manager, successor the German coach met with the media at Rangers' stadium for the initial occasion.

The magnitude of the challenge ahead of him is well known, considering Martin's turbulent and unsuccessful four-month spell.

The former Sheffield Wednesday manager was accompanied by club chairman Andrew Cavenagh, along with the frequently questioned duo of sporting director Kevin Thelwell and chief executive Patrick Stewart.

But what precisely did we learn from the young German's first public appearance as Rangers boss?

Rohl's Primary Focus - Victory Comes First

One thing emerged loud and clear from the new coach's initial presentation in front of the local press - he recognizes the necessity to win matches, and achieve this quickly.

His predecessor Russell Martin managed just 17 games and four months in charge, so the question arose about what timeframe Rohl thinks is realistic to transform the struggling team.

Although deftly sidestepping a specific response that might create later expectations, the coach's communication was very evident.

"With hope as soon as possible," he said. "This is essential.

"In football you have not much time. You can discuss future plans but we know it concerns the short-term and that period is about winning games. That is my requirement.

"Another aspect is also obvious - I require all players to understand how we want to perform. I return to my main theme: it's winning, it's attractive and it's together. If you follow this sequence, I'm convinced that I'll stay very long at the club."

Pressure is Standard

Martin required security protection to leave the stadium after his final match as manager.

We've seen how hostile situations can turn at football clubs when results are poor. Protests have almost become an expected aspect of the matchday atmosphere on each part of the city currently.

As the club's most youthful manager in history, the question was posed about what qualities the coach thinks he possesses that would enable him to handle, let alone excel, in one of the most pressurized positions in British football?

"I think expectations in football is normal," he stated. "You must learn that very quickly.

"I think certain individuals could reference my age but I have been 16 years on this path. I had a great chance to be at the German club and serve as just the assistant manager, but I felt the reality to manage a team and the pressure involved.

"You begin getting results and then some critics will say you must produce entertaining football. That becomes the phase but that's exactly my intention. I relish those expectations and I'm excited about what's ahead."

Thelwell Explains Chermiti Signing & Hiring Family Member

There were plenty of questions from journalists for Thelwell.

Significant attention has concerned the appointment of his son as recruitment chief, with supporters skeptical about his qualifications for the position.

However, he justified and explained the decision to bring Thelwell Jnr to Ibrox.

"It's always awkward to listen and in appearance I think we all agreed when we took this decision to appoint him that he'd be viewed negatively," Thelwell said.

"The truth of the situation is that we want to attract the top players to this club.

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

"He's worked at Villa as a senior scout, after which he moved to Norwich as scouting chief and then got promoted to development role.

"Before we hiring him, multiple Premier League teams wanted to sign him. Our approach right at the start of proceedings was consult with the CEO, the chairman and vice-chairman Paraag Marathe about this matter.

"I was extremely transparent and I believe Robbie probably underwent a stricter procedure than anybody else who's employed by this football club.

"What I do know is that he will work constantly to achieve success for Rangers and I'm looking forward seeing him demonstrating that he'll become a valuable employee for Rangers."

Thelwell also supported the signing of forward Youssef Chermiti, who arrived at Rangers for a reported initial fee of eight million pounds, having failed to find the net in 24 games for his previous club.

The sporting director who transferred the Portuguese 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 signing, who hasn't yet score in seven matches for Rangers.

"Absolutely, completely," Thelwell answered. "I believe the striker represents who's got great ability.

"I haven't questioned him whatsoever. Similarly, I believe Danny will help to get the best out of Youssef.

"It's very initial stages for the young player, he's a promising prospect and naturally with inexperienced players they occasionally require patience.

"However, I'm convinced over the course of his time here he's going to prove that he is very, very good player."

Stewart Acknowledges Fan Frustration and Anger

Stewart was also facing scrutiny, given the criticism that has been directed his way by certain club own supporters.

Additionally, there was a sign in the stadium during the recent draw with United inviting Stewart - and the sporting director - to pack his bags before they were packed for him.

Like his sporting director, Stewart didn't avoid the issue.

"I completely appreciate the disappointment and hurt that fans are feeling because performances this season haven't been expectations and no one is satisfied with them," he stated.

"The pain and frustration they feel is matched inside the leadership.

"Also understand that there must exist an outlet for that dissatisfaction and in my role, that's me.

"I serve as focal point for those and my role as a
