If he wants a managers gig (opposed to assisstant coach somewhere) he'll have to re-start in the lower tiers.
-
I think the Murty experiment suggests that the idea of a relatively unexperienced 'Head Coach' working with the first team won't work at Rangers and will only see us go through them like golf balls. I think we need a reasonably experienced and respected manager who will take and be comfortable with real authority. ------------------ I'd put Neilson in the former category. IMO he hasn't the necessary experience or respect in the game. He did ok at Hearts under Levein but getting canned in the lower half of the third tier in England doesn't cut it.

- Murty dosn't cut it and needs to be put out of his misery asap - The Rangers board need to up their game and find a solution asap - Miller has caused problems for more than one Rangers manager, UNACCEPTABLE - Miller has a longterm two-way relationship with Keith Jackson/DR that sees information for a media defence/promotion, eg. see end of last season/contract renewal - The so-called 'passion' is often only seen when self-interest comes into play, eg. not starting, wants contract, etc. No-one comes out of this well .

Given circumstances, Clarke is a no-brainer (if he would take the job/significant doubt that he would).
-
Agree with most of that although reality is that the immediate product/results on the pitch have to be given priority. Leadership, good pragmatic choices, realistic timescales/honesty, communication, steady progress.
-
Be prepared to be a little more patient for a new manager. The scale of the job to get back to where we want to be allied to available finance levels demands it.

You don't need to be psychic to know what this is about. All you have to do is look back and see what some of those involved have done and their apparent motives. Primarily this isn't about Rangers, it's about getting at other Rangers fans, groups, and the Rangers board until they cause enough 'bother' to do 'damage' to them. They obviously oppose the board in a way that goes beyond the current and deserved general criticism but do they have serious alternatives................Don't forget, many of their past opinions, behaviour and choices are somewhat tainted. IMO this is more about deconstructive motives than constructive but everyone is free to throw their money at them, if they want.

Rodgers doesn't do European football very well. If you look at his results with Liverpool, it's not dissimilar in pattern to his current club. ie. He's not really 'the messiah' as the media up here seem to believe.

When you try and jump several levels in one go by repeatedly recruiting once quality footballers and expecting them to revisit their glory years, then you are IMO, chasing losses. Beyond that, you have the managerial issues that have been fundamental to our footballing problems. Warburton was a good appointment on sound logic but something happened to his relationship with (part of) the board after the 2016 Cup semi-final and from there, it was a matter of time. Caixinha was a disasterous appointment, period. Murty got the interim gig partly because of how difficult it was to find an adequate replacement and it's been the same rollercoaster but with some hope that the football operation was starting to take shape. However, not that surprisingly, Murty himself has found the pressure too great and we can all see he isn't cut out for it. We need leadership, constructive management, honesty and realistic expecation levels within as much finance as the board can raise. Without it, we'll be a dysfunctional football club that serves as a comedy show for the rest of Scottish football.
-
The weight of expectation (allied to finances and timescale) that bears down on the club is totally unrealistic but nevertheless, it is employed to make judgements on what is happening. Those that say that this is BS will offer what is presently akin to empty rhetoric in their argument. What has happened comes from too many of the major football operation decisions that resemble chasing losses at the bookies (eg. managerial appointments and summer transfer windows). Those on the outside (eg. managerial candidates) can see this and many of them won't want anything to do with it unless they can't find a job elsewhere or see real steps towards something better.

Agreed, it's an omnishambolic circus with various 'factions' trying to curry favour with the support (against tuther faction) when none of them deserve it.
-
".....For some players it did seem to matter...." With most of them, it seems the passion kicks in when they themselves are questioned and/or are not playing.
-
It's rumoured that Mrs Miller is going to start a podcast on Thursday where apart from informing the world about Sundays starting XI, she will be going head to head with Keith Jackson to see who gets the most out of Kenny.
-
Agreed re. "listening to the fans", it's a catch all line that doesn't stand-up to scrutiny. Rather than filing in behind the customery divisions between X and Y, I see an omnishambolic circus where various degrees of blame can be apportioned to just about everyone involved.
-
It was the safest prediction of the weekend.......... Keith Jackson get's the inside slant on it from his man 'close to' the story, AGAIN. "...........Word has it Miller and Wallace were spotted late at night in the team hotel before Sunday’s mismatch, locked in a stony-faced conversation about Murty’s tactical plan. It looked very much to those who witnessed this conversation as if they had unlocked some serious flaws in Murty’s orders. If so, they were hardly wrong............"

Denying the opposing team or an opponent a goal or an obvious goal scoring opportunity (A4) 1 match automatic suspension Effective immediately to the next match in the Competition in which the sending-off offence was reported https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/media/1849/suspensions-for-players-in-mens-football-annex-c-section-4.pdf edit. text above applies to League competitions but if you read further down the same page on link, you'll see it is the same for the Cup.
