CammyF 8,173 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Knicked from another forum, but worth a read... The Scottish Press, right on the button again; " Rangers have turned to France in their search for a successor to Alex McLeish, with former Monaco boss Didier Deschamps high on their list of candidates. On a day when the name of sought-after ex-Lyon manager Paul Le Guen was also optimistically thrown into the mix, World Cup winner Deschamps emerged as a serious contender to take over at Ibrox." Stephen McGowan, Daily Mail, November 12, 2005 "Paul Le Guen's agent last night insisted the French manager would rather continue in his sabbatical role as a television consultant than take up the reins at Ibrox when Alex McLeish is officially relieved of his duties. Frederic Guerra's sneering dismissal of any interest in assuming the Rangers manager's position will come as a blow to the Ibrox club's prestige." - Roddy Thomson, Sunday Herald, November 13, 2005 " The mid to late-1990s was a high watermark in terms of Rangers' international status - everyone knew they had serious money to spend - but they are no longer at that level and even if their aspirations extend to a managerial star such as Paul Le Guen it may be that for practical reasons someone such as George Burley emerges as a more realistic appointment." - Michael Grant, Sunday Herald, November 13, 2005 " If it is to the continent that Murray looks, then Paul Le Guen has obvious attractions. Yet, the recent hefty betting on the Frenchman becoming only Rangers' second foreign manager would appear to be money less than well spent. The former Lyon coach, who speaks little English, has already turned down offers from Lazio, Valencia, Monaco, Benfica and Stuttgart. After winning the title in each of his three seasons at Lyon, he is understood to seek a posting where he can forge a lean and hungry side from a small squad of young players on short contracts. That hardly describes Rangers at present. Le Guen is likely to have little enthusiasm for being tasked with a rebuilding job that would require him to move on a clutch of senior players who may prove resistant to leaving their Ibrox comfort zone." - Andrew Smith, Scotland on Sunday, November 13, 2005 " The chemistry of the current Rangers squad is flawed, but a new Rangers manager will not have pots of money to spend on new players. If Paul Le Guen is fully aware of the Rangers situation, he might find the club a deeply unattractive proposition. It is for this reason that some of us believe [David Murray] will unveil an unspectacular name as McLeish's successor." - Graham Spiers, The Herald, December 3, 2005 " Personally, I believe Le Guen's coming to Rangers would be a coup for the club, for David Murray and for Scottish football . . . of that there is no doubt. Some of us, though, will believe it when we see it." - Graham Spiers, The Herald, February 16, 2006 " Eerily, for some Rangers supporters, the name of Paul Le Guen seems to have disappeared from our radars over the past few days. Even Rangers chairman David Murray's favourite media outlets have stopped spouting the Frenchman's name at every turn, which history tells us is usually the first sign that something ominous is afoot. Speaking personally, I am one of many who hope that Le Guen does pitch up at Ibrox, simply for the fascination and drama of having this respected coach around us in Scotland and seeing what he can do. Only a dullard would not feel the thrill of Le Guen coming to Rangers. Yet I am starting to doubt that it will happen. Having watched Murray and his way of doing it at Ibrox for years, there are familiar signs afoot that all might not be well. With every passing day I worry that Le Guen sees better things on his horizon." - Graham Spiers, The Herald, February 21, 2006 " Paul Le Guen's expected move to become manager of Rangers was last night thrown into doubt as it emerged the Frenchman is considering an offer to boss the Cameroon national side. MailSport can reveal the President of Cameroon, Paul Biya, called Le Guen on Friday to make him an attractive proposal to succeed outgoing Lions gaffer Artur Jorge. This latest move appears to be a major threat to Rangers' chances of landing the highly rated Frenchman." - Mark Guidi, Sunday Mail, February 26, 2006 " Rangers' hopes of landing Paul Le Guen could be sunk by a struggle to find a French school for his kids. He had hoped to place them in a Glasgow-based private French school but was stunned to discover the nearest suitable place was in ABERDEEN" - Ewan Smith, Sunday Mail, March 5, 2006 ----------------------------------------------- Cammy F 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 889 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Id of loved to have seen everyone of there faces when Le Guen was announced. Look at the difference in Spiers' reaction on the 21st Feb to that of the 16th! He totally changes his tone in the space of 5 days to cover his embarresment. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
