Zappa 0 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 My brother mentioned a name to me who's been suggested in the past, but not recently from what I've seen. Frank Rijkaard? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cooper 0 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Rijkaard was chased from Barcelona and has flopped everywhere else. Also used to earning millions per year i'd imagine. If you are being serious, i'm not so sure. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Rijkaard was chased from Barcelona and has flopped everywhere else. Also used to earning millions per year i'd imagine. If you are being serious, i'm not so sure. Any manager could 'flop' in those jobs he took in Turkey and Saudi, so that's pretty irrelevant. As a manager I'd say he was successful at Barca, both domestically and in Europe and on top of the silverware he also won several notable managerial and coaching accolades. He also has the sort of football knowledge and pedigree, plus the coaching and managerial experience and philosophies that many of our fans have been crying out for such as expansive attacking football, bringing through younger talent etc etc. Am I being serious? Yes, absolutely. It was only the other day you were lecturing on our Club's ambitions on the pitch saying winning a domestic quadruple this season was a 'realistic ambition', so why not aim high in terms of potential managers too? A guy like Frank Rijkaard will already be very rich indeed, so money needn't necessarily be an obstacle if he's presented with an interesting challenge.

SteveC 150 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Mols could still lace up his boots and play for us again too! He'd be our most mobile and talented player far less striker..... Edited December 16, 2014 by SteveC 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC 150 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 My brother mentioned a name to me who's been suggested in the past, but not recently from what I've seen. Frank Rijkaard? Oh aye, I can hear it now. "Hi Frank, come for peanuts, we've no idea how long the team will be in existence, we'll not give you any suport, the team is shite, the league is shite, you've no chance of anything but grief and despair." Frank: Dutch for "haud me back" 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wasp 0 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Hopefully the wage thief is gone tomorrow,and it doesn't really matter(short term)who takes over. Just about anyone with half a football brain could do better than what's there now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy like Frank Rijkaard will already be very rich indeed, so money needn't necessarily be an obstacle if he's presented with an interesting challenge. He's had 4 jobs, failed 3 of them and been sacked in all 4. He had probably the very best Barcelona team ever, that's probably why he was successful. Winning a domestic quadruple in Scotland for the 2nd biggest club in the country is a realistic ambition, hiring a man who's normal annual salary won't be far off our average club turnover for a 6 month period for a club on it's knees with a squad full of dross, fanbase in revolt, no money in the bank, on the brink of administration again, youths leaving in their droves and not one scout on the payroll is not a realistic ambition, it's delusional.

Lay off the buckets. We've had some big name suggestions and I was merely throwing another one into the mix because it's interesting and ambitious for numerous reasons. Rijkaard could also no doubt work with other Dutch ex-Gers player suggestions we've already had here as his assistants. As for your buckets comment, that's an unnecessary insult. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rijkaard is the biggest name by a million miles i have seen mentioned, apologies if i have missed someone. That's an insult? Away ye go.
