Posted November 6 1 minute ago, NixonRFC said: Realistic option probably wouldn't be an overly popular one but for me it's Derek McInnes, forget Allardyce, de Boer or Tony Pulis, guys who'll demand around £2m a year, we need a guy to come in and kick balls immediately, steady the ship, get us into Europe and start challenging and winning honours again, when that happens and money starts coming into the club we can then look to upgrade to someone with the stature of Big Sam etc... Desperation move, that would be. And a poor one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He'd see it as a second chance and now would be our time to benefit from it. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Desperate times call for desperate measures, I don't think we can afford another left field option, to get a top outsider it'll cost us money we simply don't have, we need a guy who knows Scottish Football inside out, knows Rangers inside out and has shown recently that he can get a club punching their weight. For me he isn't the long term solution but a means to an end for the next two years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 6 This new manager - how long does he get to prove his worth? A game, 4 games, a season? Or more accurately how many draws and defeats will a new manger get before we howl for a new one? Building a squad takes time as. Well as budget- let's evaluate at a minimum at the end of the season. 3 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6 1 hour ago, Gustavus said: We need a young, hungry manager out to make a name and improve players. I'd look in Germany, bundesliga 2 (or 3, cause that's the level we are just now). We need fit, robust players who can hold the ball, then look up and pass quickly and accurately. With a desire to win. I feel as if I'm talking to my 9 yo son. We don't even have the basics right just now That's what people were saying when we appointed Warburton. What we need is a manager who has a proven track record of winning trophies. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's impossible to answer. You need to take it on it's own merits. If you see progression and effort then you can give him time. If you see us going backwards and not learning from mistakes then time goes out the window and it looks like time is running out for Mark. He's a good manager in some aspects but terrible in others.

Folk underestimated the step up ( including MW) but he tried to do something about our weaknesses - but for different reasons Barton Kranjar Rossiter and Senderous have not ( yet) worked out but there signing showed MW recognised we needed to strengthen and where - I think he will look to readdress some of these in January as well - and this squad is definitely a work in progress 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 6 judging by the ineptitude, in our boardroom, wee paulie will be on to big lee as we speak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6 If we get rid of Warburton then the board have two choices.. Appoint a Mcinnes/Mcleish/Davies type and accept mediocrity and them getting 9/10/11 in a row or they could make a statement of intent. Despise talking about them but Rodgers coming in has got them playing again. Sinclair and Dembele apart it's the same players they had last year but they look miles better.. 2 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even the great SAF admits that he only batted about 50% on new signings so yes I do see his signings as a good thing! What I do believe is chopping and changing at the first difficult hurdle is not going to be beneficial as every manager goes through tough times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6 Due to the lack of investment prospects with king, I doubt any decent experienced manager would want the job, unless desperate and I put the likes of McLeish in that bracket. King wouldn't be paying a large salary either and I honestly could see him giving Miller and/or Barton the gig, such is the part money plays in his psyche, killing two birds with the one stone. Not saying I'd relish the prospect, but it would be a far better prospect than no marks like Davies ffs. We are in a place where options are limited. Miller talks the game well and he has the passion and as for Barton, well, he just likes talking and thinks he is the next big thing. He couldn't lace Souness's boots, but he does have that same steely way about him that Souness wound up the whole planet with. Loved it when he put the digs in about the scum and he was a success. As for Miller, I can see him doing well in management, whether with us or somewhere else first. Who knows and just about anything could happen with king in charge. Dare I say, it could even signal a return for the gardener. Would love big Sam, even with the baggage, but we just couldn't afford him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 6 Some cunt none of us have heard off. I can't think of anyone who would take the job, do well with the resources and players and make Rangers fans happy. Alex Mcleish would be a disaster for us. Anyone remember the last season with us? A domestic disaster filled with complete duds. It's best if he just keeps his legacy in the past. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
