Nothing new mentioned, just how he is going to try assemble a team capable of meeting targets of promotion then the top flight again and eventually champions league. I like his style, he answers very well without avoiding questions or being patronising, is just pure honest. He isn't promising miracles but knows what is expected. I really believe we have found the right man on a number of levels. Its one thing winning football matches but putting together an infrastructure from youth up is a different level. Looking forward to the season a lot under W&W.

Well I would say that is a Neanderthal type opinion as a 3rd strip can be any colour or design with the except of green or hoops for the obvious reasons. But everyone is entitled to an opinion. Our home colours should always remain but I quite like a different 3rd kit and the black one the other season was also to my liking. IIRC the purple kit was originally for European away games.

Strangely I certainly would. For a couple of season me and my mate used to always buy XXL even though Id be a medium, just seemed to be fashionable having huge tops. Just means they will all fit for life. I do need to dig out some of my old shirts though. Some are fast becoming classics

That is horrendous. Considering the Adidas Purple from 1994-95 was one of my favourites I was hoping for better here. Shocking design.

10 years ago that gap was huge about 40 v 15. The roman millions have played the part. But Arsenal have been rebuilding for the long term in that and in 10-15 years Id still bet that Arsenal will be clear of Chelsea. Its a good debate though. Id class Leeds as a sleeping giant and Sheff Wed. There is always the debate about how you define a big club / team: History / Stadia and Facilities / Fan Base / trophy count & on what level / turnover. I always thought of Rangers and Man Utd as the big 2 in the mid 90s. (Pretty sure we beat a full strength Man U side in Aug 1996.) Liverpool and Arsenal for sure in the top 3 in England. Rangers and Celtic still have big ticks in most categories but the TV money has moved the English clubs poles apart. Even Aberdeen and Dundee Utd were decent clubs in the 80s on a Euro level but neither were giants. Leeds are just a bad ran club but have huge potential due to fan base in the local area. Yhey have been in and out of the top flight in pretty much every decade but id class them as a big club.

I disagree, I like the thought of this signing. A experienced pro who will give 110% rather than be a passenger like Black or Law. Again he is coming from a level that is better than our league and will be an asset on and off the park for the young players. Didn't Derby's collapse near the end of the season went hand in hand with Eustace' injury.

Not only are we getting players who will be committed on the park, we aren't handing out silly lengthy contracts. Its good business by the club. Kiernan is in on a 2 year deal and Wilson a 3 year deal, not risky at all.

As much as Warburton likes and expects hard work Im sure he is also the rewarding type and wont discourage the players maybe sitting at Murray park playing FIFA against each other after a hard training session or out on the golf course together that is organised by the club. He will want good morale.

800k is a tad much for someone who can sign in January. He has talent and potential and I wouldn't mind seeing him join but Id rather the 800k go towards trying to get Macleod back.

Wilson is a good signing. Getting an experienced keeper wont be easy but Mcgregor isn't having a good time at Hull and would surely be a good fit for 2 years.

He does have a touch of old school about him but with dignity and class what Ive seen so far.

If he does leave there is a tailor made left back available on a free who is currently without club who would do a superb job for 1 season. George McCartney - former Norn Ireland full back released by West Ham. He is 34 but his experience would cruise the championship and IIRC Davie Weir was a short term signing who went onto have 5 years.

Speaking of Templeton i wonder if the new regime ignite his rangers career. He has the ability and is a warburton type attacking player so it will be interesting to see if gets his head down. If not ship him out. I believe he still has 1 year left on his contract?

A fixture involving Rangers, hibs and st mirren is a banker in the first round of games or 2. I will take a flutter on us getting falkirk away first up.

We have to remember players in the Championship are better than the standard we are currently up against and better than what we had last season.

The top headline from Sutton jumps out, but we all know Sutton isn't all there. I heard him on Talksport recently and someone forgot to pack the bread in that picnic basket.

Newcastle (Ashley) will play hard ball. If Warburton fancies him then so be it, he wont get to hide in any games though.

He looks a lot harder than Russ Abbott though. But he does speak the same as Butcher.

Anyone who was in doubt about him surely has to have had their thoughts changed. His days working from 5am to 9pm in the City dealing in Multi million deals for his job will easily prepare him for the joke of a media there. He will fully concentrate on the football side. What an absolute coup getting this team, a real foundation will be put in place now, a perfect piece of the jigsaw has been placed with this duo.

Was going to say the same. PLG was intriguing at the time but didn't exactly excite. After the last 3 years then this appointment does excite, especially after reading and hearing a bit about him. Its about time we got back up on the horse and rallied forward.

They will all be in panic mode as they know this guy will take Rangers back. I felt with the way things were going if we got promoted we would need a settling in period and struggle in the top flight for a year. I now think we will win the Championship this season comfortably and ready to be top 2 the season after.

Amazing the way they swing things. Before the appointment it was McLeish, McInnes, McCall and Davies the papers listed. And I don't think he had to fight off McCall and Cathro at all. McCall was never in the running and Cathro probably hasn't been spoken to.

Unbelievable and just shows you how the media can manipulate lies (that doesn't just go for football BTW). The only way he wasn't our first choice is probably because he may have been out of our reach! I certainly think he is thick skinned and will shrug this nonsense off. I hope he doesn't give them an inch and puts them in their place from the first question. He doesn't need to get them on side at all. All he needs to do is get Rangers playing good winning football. Pretty sure the board and Weir will make him aware that the media can be poisonous.

Daily Express: An entire team! Got to be happy with that.

McCall only has himself to blame. he got a chance to stamp his authority and it didn't work. With Hindsight not getting promoted could be a good thing long term as going up with McCall could have set us back 3 years as he would have probably got the job and I wouldn't expect us to be anything more than a mid table team under him.
