I see your points but unfortunately the demand at Ibrox is immense and we may see another PLG type appointment where we try to play football, change diets off the park but he wont get time. That's not to say PLG would have worked out but the difference is Rangers demand winning, Southampton can afford defeats and are a stepping stone for likes of Koeman and Poch - and while they both play good football they certainly would be involved in decision making off the park. You are right how Southampton have implemented this throughout their club from U14s to the first team but they went down to league 1 while doing this. If ever we had a chance to do it then it was 2012 and play the youth but now we are back in the top flight being top 2 is a must again and that means winning ugly. Its still only stage 2 in the recovery and finishing second is the target then getting further income from the Europa league. If the board can get the merchandising side with Ashley sorted between playing Europa league and having further income it will then allow us to buy a better standard of player as we go on. This is where FdB would be good, I think he would mix youth with experience and play well...and Murray Park needs to start producing - it was set up for state of the art yet just hasn't produced bar maybe Alan Hutton who we got a good fee for. Perhaps I'll throw Allan McGregor in as a success also.

Graeme Murty will Stay in Rangers hotseat for Old Firm showdown
Gribz replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
Not exactly inspiring news to read. Nothing against Murty but I don't think he is Rangers manager material. -
Probably need the opposite, there is so much wrong with Scottish Football. We need someone who has tactical knowledge and isnt afraid to change things, therefore i dont care where he comes from. A Marco Silva has to be out there somewhere although FdB or Michael Laudrup is still my preference.
-
It really should be a Premier League 2. Are PNE a big side though Scott? The others you have listed are. Even League 1 - Bolton, Sheff Utd, Charlton and Coventry. The latter are having a nightmare, and to recall they were a decent Premier team not so long ago.
-
Nah dont know about getting Craig out haha....but yeah agree any others would be good. Im pretty sure I'll cross paths with Craig someday anyway. Only person Ive met on here now is Frankie. I met Eightball twice and Smalce twice on different occasions. Also met Gav twice and Cammy, Del and Barry but obviously not on enough occasions. If I was still in the Uk id have met more. Will see what i can do about april - ive got to go to beijing, Shenzhen and perth in the coming weeks first.

Probably deserves a thread of its own. By far the most competitive league in the world. Always entertaining. Glad to see Sheff Wed doing well, would love to see them back up along with Leeds and Newcastle but Brighton are going to go up and fair play to Chris Hughton who is proving to be a quality manager. Cardiff are on a roll now and Warnock knows how to get results in this league. Aston Villa - what is going on there. I thought Steve Bruce would turn them around and get to the play offs but are only 6 points clear of the relegation zone. Blackburn - another big name who could go down, wouldnt care if they did as their owners are nuts.
-
Im also penciling in a trip soon. If it coincides with this then count me in. Ive got a bit of trekking to do in March then I'll be over.
-
Would still prefer Walter if he would take it until the end of the season. But Big Eck would get a response.
-
Chelsea v Man Utd - bumper tie Tottenham v Millwall Middlesboro v Man City or Huddersfield Arsenal or Sutton v lincoln Should be Chelsea, Spurs, Man City and Arsenal in the last 4.
-
We need to make a move sooner rather than later and get a response. 6 points behind Aberdeen and 21 goal difference.
-
Welcome back ascender. Murty will probably be getting assessed for a few games to see if he is capable. Today will be interesting...
-
Could be worse, we could have him playing today. Thats shocking for a professional. I would actually probably have him over Garner though. Both cant play but Boyd could at least score against lower league teams....I await a backlash [/img]
-
Who really is next...the silence is deafening. Could it be we cant / wont appoint anyone until MW and DW situation is concluded? That could drag on.
-
Bizarre one with Rossiter. However these two players on their best form will be assets. Windass has been a bit of a let down yet he showed promise on his debut. He needs to knuckle down and get himself in the team. His old man said he could play for England, well he has a bit of work to do.
-
Team news: Rangers interim boss Graeme Murty hopes to have captain Lee Wallace fit. Josh Windass is recovering from an ankle knock but fellow midfielders Jordan Rossiter and Niko Kranjcar remain out. Dundee's last home win over Rangers in the league came in 1992. Rangers have won 14 of their last 16 top-flight encounters with Dundee, drawing the other two. Harry Forrester has scored in both of Rangers' wins over Dundee this season.
-
Dodoo deserves a chance, he showed he has a good finish but wasnt given a chance after Firhill. Miller has carried the team so for me it would be Miller and Dodoo. I like Waghorn but think he is more effective down the inside right position. Obviously he didnt get on with MW in latter days therefore could flourish. Looking forward to the game, Dens Park was always a good day out in the younger years.
-
I dont want to sound controversial but Garner shouldnt even be on the team bus. I really dont see anything in him as a player.
-
Traditional 4-4-2 for me. Foderingham Tavernier Hill Wilson Hodson Waghorn Hyndman Toral Mckay Miller Dodoo
-
Leicester....absolute free fall. Dont think Claudio can turn it around there. Bad replay for Man City, they could be done without that tie.
-
No I think he is a gourmet chef at the ritz. He'd do a good job though at Ibrox.
-
Have you heard something I havent? Until the end of the season?? Of course he will get backing of the support and lets see how he does game by game. It could well be that we have to continue with Murty and cant put someone in for legal reasons if the 3 amigos are saying they havent resigned.
-
Baffling decision. Must be being offered China level money. I could understand if it was for the USA or Far East but Saudi is like a scary dictatorship and I cant see him lasting more than 4 months.
-
The only show in town again. Like Boabies comment but a real alky would have plenty time for a 1230 kick off. I do miss the trips to Ibrox on the 7:05 or the late 8:42am train that got us into Queen St at 9:50 or 11:20. The drinks would be be flowing by departure. And that was for 3pm kick offs then a sesh on the way back. Sundays used to be sore.
-
I take it you mean plenty time to overhaul? But as things stand we are not in great shape while McInnes seems to have Aberdeen playing well. I do think that can be overturned though, Aberdeen are capable of losing at a Kilmarnock or Partick where we should win these games. We will see how Murty has done on Sunday at Dens. but goal difference, that would take a major swing. we will maybe only score 18 goals in 14 games, considering that could be two wins against Aberdeen it doubles but its a big ask.
-
It would be interesting to see a poll about having a DoF. Im not a fan of this process but do admit it can work at certain clubs. But I always see a potential clash of opinions between the head coach and DoF. I also like the thought of having a Football Manager at Rangers, maybe its just tradition. I do get the points that a background set up and a review of such things like scouting network needs done but that can be done by the day to day management with Manager input. At the end of the day I always think the players coming in should be the managers choice. All other sections are spot on.
