Guest Thenorthlondonblue Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I am pretty sure it will not really affect his reputation, and he will put it down to our lack of discipline and poor league. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudbertz 0 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 He can put it down to lack of that and proper funding.... but we can put it down to his lack of knowledge of the league. Didnt do his homework is what it all boils down too results/performance-wise. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster 0 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 He can put it down to lack of that and proper funding.... but we can put it down to his lack of knowledge of the league.Didnt do his homework is what it all boils down too results/performance-wise. to say it boiled down to homework is far too simplistic. Was he too respectful and not ruthless enough, probably. Had he demanded more money to re-build team as a condition of coming. He shouldn�´t have worried about Eck�´s feelings at the end of last season, it was more important to be properly aquainted with spl and he should have sorted out Ferguson and Boyd in August. He always said respect was important too him, he would give it and expect it in return. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 First he has to take a job in France again, say with PSG and do reasonably well. If he does so, the Rangers job will look like a blip where he tried to bring French style of football to Scotland but was undermined by the Scottish players. That's why he is quitting now in my opinion, as a damage limitation exercise. He's using Bazza as a scapegoat and making sure that his failure is over a short time - to look like the forgettable blip. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 To be honest our responses to this really should be.... "who cares ?". He is gone, he will look forward and so should we. I would have preferred he was still here, but he isnt so we all have to move on from this. However, to answer the question I think his reputation will be damaged, but only to a miniscule extent. He had an unblemished record before joining us so IMO his reputation has to take a dent because of that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 850 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I'll actually be interested to see how he does at his next job to see IF it was the scottish culture to blame. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 If he does well in his next job it might have nothing to do with Scottish culture - there are so many factors. Maybe he just couldn't handle the pressure at Rangers and also made a load of mistakes. As I see it, a team need the branches of experienced, older players from which to attach the shoots and leaves of the younger players. Without the branches you have a very flimsy tree which may or may not become strong in the future... He tried to do everything at once while bringing in a bunch of no-hopers. THAT is far more significant than any Scottish culture. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Lack of homework can't be used as an excuse as the guy had 6 months or so to get ready for pre-season and was being sent DVDs of all our matches. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
