biggordy 0 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Apart from now knowing our Chairman has "never heard of Mark Wottke", that was a big fat waste of time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Knowing who the managers in question are would either have worried me more or eased my fears a little (or....lets see - who are the contenders? Greig, Walter, Souness, Advocaat doubt he'd know our price range), McCoist, McDowell, McCall = who out of those would be encouraging???).. The comment without specifying who led to my feeling of discouragement as I've learnt that with Rangers it is never wise to look optimistically on any ambiguity as not only is it usually the worst of all seeming options but we usually unearth a hitherto unimaginable and far more deleterious option and that's the one it turns out to be. Mccall probably said that Scott Allen is a cracking player etc. It's not something I'd get concerned about. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC 150 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Quite. Mainly seemed to reiterate a lot of what was said after he came in. Lot of big picture-stuff but light on details, figures involved, etc. Is it just me or did he seem almost contemptuous of the press' questions? I think he did well remaining polite in the face of the stupidity he was confronted by; one question was so insanely wrong-headed it took his breath away. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 These things always are a waste of time if your looking for real detail. It's simply not possible. Or certainly not sensible to give it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,570 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Quite. Mainly seemed to reiterate a lot of what was said after he came in. Lot of big picture-stuff but light on details, figures involved, etc. Is it just me or did he seem almost contemptuous of the press' questions? Many of the questions were very poor and/or repetitive. They just wanted to know the investment figure or manager name. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublusince1982 243 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 its time to stop holding press conferences when we have nothing to reveal. Its also time for actions to do the talking. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone was getting antsy about not hearing from him so he's clearly damned either way. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is something like that, then OK. He said it in plural though and the previous managers' views on players scares me shitless 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sooner they get it over with the better for us fans 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,747 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Thanks to Frankie for the updates. Since he's been in the country for only a day or so, I was not expecting any managerial announcement today. I would expect that those in the running will be met within the next few days and I would not be surprised if Walter will be amongst those giving an expert advice on each. IMHO, it is a clever move, as Sir Walter sure knows what is to be expected of a Rangers manager inside out and for King to have such a person will be invaluable. The sooner this important managerial issue is resolved, the better, as it will go a long way to reestablish the links between the support and the club. A bit more communication would be required still, e.g. where any money received from the fans will end up, as e.g. opposed to other investments. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
