The news that Steven Gerrard is on the brink of accepting the Aston Villa job has shocked the Rangers support.
But while punters are united in how disappointed they are to potentially losing their gaffer, the takes have differed vastly from fan to fan.
Some are reluctantly at peace with letting their gaffer leave the nest and crack it down south after stopping Celtic from achieving the holy Glaswegian grail of 10 In A Row.
Others? Leave it to mortified caller Taylor on the Go Radio Football Show to explain.
He thought Gerrard's position was secure following on from his emphatic denial of the Newcastle United rumours just weeks ago.
But on a fast moving Wednesday evening he said: "If you look at Gerrard’s character and what he’s said .. he said ‘do I look happy, do I look settled, don’t ask me silly questions’.
"Then he goes away 19 days later. It’s a complete lie. It sounds dramatic, but it is.
"Leaving midway through the season, 10 days before a semi-final, it goes against everything Gerrard has said or done. It’s quite a shock, and I don’t know who we’re going to get in."
Perhaps talk of 'lies' is overkill, but the pace of this freight train of a story has understandably left many absolutely fizzing.
Dean Smith was only dismissed from his role at Villa on Sunday and when Gerrard was immediately installed as the bookies' favourite that evening, it would have been all too easy to swat those rumours aside.
Within 72 hours, the picture is vastly different.
The speed of this saga means Gerrard's potential move is in fact no saga at all.
It's had the feel of an election night in which every hour has brought more news of a landslide result that Rangers fans feared would one day come.
Scott, also on Go Radio, said: “If it goes through, any respect for the man is gone. From the end of last season, his mantra was ‘I’m here for more’.
“And he leaves at the first chance he gets without, seemingly, a second thought."
Ibrox legend Barry Ferguson was sympathetic as he responded: "I get where Scott’s coming from, a lot of Rangers fans are going to be disappointed.
"I think a lot of Rangers fans have been caught on the hop with the speed it’s happened in the last 48 hours."
Not everyone comes from that same school of thought, however.
Twitter user @Shane11Golspie said: "Will be sad to see him go, but if he does I wish him well. He did what every one of us wanted him to and delivered 55, stopping the 10.
"Legend in Liverpool, God in Glasgow."
Brendan Rodgers' departure from Celtic in 2019 serves as a close example but even then one could argue the timing of his love to Leicester City - in February with a trophy already in the bag and an eight point league lead - was better.
Nevertheless, that didn't stop fans holding up the infamous Tynecastle banner that read: "Never a Celt. Always a fraud."
Nowadays there is consensus at Parkhead that Rodgers should take less of the blame for his exit and that more should be pinned on the Celtic board's inability to replace him with a boss that could get the fabled double digit milestone over the finish line.
Time is always a healer. That's one thing the two clubs have in common.
