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. I'm not saying McLeish is the answer for us as a next manager but I think your assessment of his tenure is a bit unfair. 2002 - League was gone when he took over. Wins League Cup and Scottish Cup both including wins over celtic. 2003 - Wins Treble 2005 - Wins League and League Cup double 2006 - A poor season domestically but manages to get us past the Champions League group stage. Through all of this you have to remember McLeish was never given the money Advocaat was. This was the time when we moved from spending millions on transfers fees to getting players on free transfers in what was clear financial downsizing. Not only this it was done at a time when ceptic had a strong side that cost a fair bit of money. His win ratio was also higher over his time in charge than both of Walter Smith's 2 spells. It wasn't the prettiest football at times but I would say he done really well in the circumstances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know what you're saying and I'm grateful for all the things Big Eck has done (Helicopter Sunday being the biggie) - my point was there is a disaster in there and I'd rather not see him soil his legacy with us with a return that is doomed to fail.

Sorry it's not more positive but realistically that's what I think would happen. Disagree, the board would pull out all the stops no matter the cost to bring the best manager onboard, they would then give him a war-chest of 50-60M. Their record speaks for itself.

Had some good days but also some of my worst as a Rangers supporter. I never really liked him. His time was up, but he'd be an improvement on what we've got just now. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His time was up, but he'd be an improvement on what we've got just now. A poor season yes but we were 3rd more due to the fact Hearts had an unusually strong season for a team outside the top 2. I'd say that is borne out by the points totals. They looked 100% capable of winning the league until they sacked Burley. 19 minutes ago, sassaaaa said: Spot on , was a fuckin woeful manager for us and many more after us. 7 trophies in 4 and a half years and a 65% win ratio is not woeful, whatever way you look at it. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6 There's nobody realistic we could get that's better than what we've got. Warburton should get until the end of the season at least. If we finish in the European spots this year, which we probably will, realistically you'd imagine the wage budget would go up, meaning better players, but buying good players doesn't get you far if you can't change what isn't working. I'd imagine next season would be the season that King would demand a proper title challenge, but if he's putting his hand in his pocket (no laughing) I doubt he'll trust Warburton to spend it and build a title winning team. Its a very sticky situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He had a woeful last season but to describe his overall time with us as woeful is just wrong, simple as that. 3 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6 McInnes is the obvious one. We would be competitive and challenge better immediately imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6 Bottom line is the tims have upped their game by bringing in the tranny shagger and backing him and we need to do it as well. So if we do get a new manager it needs to be a step up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6 What exactly has Derek McInnes done that so many people praise him? Competitive in what sense? They had at least 6 chances to put serious pressure on the tarriers last year and blew every one of them. All season Aberdeen have been the worst team I've set eyes on. Don't know why we can't back this manager, 12 games in the top flight and hes already got his books? C'mon tae fuck. I'd absolutely hate for us to fight the hammer throwing football with exactly that. We done the same with Le Guen when he tried to build something, the same will happen with MW. Expecting instant success already is a dangerous road to go down. I'm not saying accept no success but have just a little patience. 5 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6 Sadly, this is a completely useless thread as we don't have the cash to (a) attract a Rodgers type (b) buy players good enough to stop them (c) give Warburton to let him do it. The thread might as well be called 'Realistically, do you expect King to give us the money he promised?' 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We will never progress if we keep going back to the likes of Mcleish. Move on or at least think outside the box Warburton was outside the box. We need someone who knows the scottish game, whos has reasonable success aswell. McInnes is the only one for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6 4 hours ago, Smile said: I actually would not be shocked to see this board appoint John Brown. 2 hours ago, Blue Avenger said: Fuck, we know I don't rate king, but ffs, surely even he isn't that mental?! It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if this was the route the Board went down , and going by some of the stuff that's been posted in various threads they're would be plenty who would welcome that move . No matter what happens in the near future with the Managers position , it's clear that unless there's some proper investment on the playing side then we will struggle to compete for titles . IMO too many of us are seemingly willing to accept being second as our realistic ambition which seems to suit those in the directors box . Warburton is still the man to lead us for me , but he has made mistakes and should be reminded that some of our performances and results are not good enough for our club and ultimately it's his job that's on the line . Instead the message from above looks to be that mediocrity is acceptable . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please tell me why he's the only one for u?? He bombed at Bristol city and is a second rate manager who has finished second in the spfl because we weren't there. The football Aberdeen play is shite and Warburton imo is a far better manager than him. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 6 If we got a new manager, I'd want him to be the same type of manager as Warburton (classy, builds the club from the bottom, wants to play entertaining football) but without the naivety/stubbornness. Who that might be, I have no fucking clue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
