calscot 0 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 There seems to be so many clubs in Scotland who could do with both a chairman and manager that act with a bit of class and dignity. I'm really glad that's something we, ourselves now have. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 he's spent 600k on 7 players. With that figure alone, you can see Stubbs' point... As for the wages, I really don't think these guys will be on amazingly high wages - maybe a similar level to hibs highest paid players....but we do have much higher revenue than Hibs... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 he's spent 600k on 7 players. He means wages - outwith the old firm sides very rarely spend anything on transfer fees. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 The irony is that compared to the rest of the league, Stubbs must also have it easy. Objectively, the job of Rangers finishing top and Hibs finishing second should be a relatively easy job considering the resources; however, Warburton's job is much further reaching than that, and he seems to be doing something pretty exceptional at Rangers, and that is in the context of the state of the club the infamous boards left us in. It's probably easy enough to build a new Rome out of the rubble after it's been devastated, given plenty of resources, but as the saying goes, it's not easy to do it quickly, and Warburton seems to be achieving that at Rangers. What is not easy is that there is no room for failure, you have an enormous fanbase with very high expectations, and apart from getting promotion at the end of the season, is not much to do with the league we're in. In reality we're rebuilding a club from the ground up, with the ambition to take on Celtic for the champions of Scotland, and then at least arrive at the group stages of the CL or surpass the group stage of the EC. The irony by Stubbs is that we're now doing it slowly and carefully, and without yet throwing a shed-load of money at it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie P 4 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 The difference being, MW has probably brought in all of the new players on the same wages that Jig and Black would have been earning last season! Well done Stubbs, you just wrote Mr Warburton's team talk for the match on Sunday. Perhaps he would like to send Rangers a bill seeing as how he is now doing our manager's job for him! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,803 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 It is no secret that they live in a different universe. Stubbs clearly got infected. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th of foot 6,114 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 This time last season, it's the build up to the first Rangers/Hibs league fixture, and Stubbs goes public with the need for a strong referee at Ibrox. It was 3-4 weeks after the Petrofac Cup tie, a 2-1 victory for Rangers after extra time. The media concensus was the game turned on Hibs being reduced to ten men after a dodgy red card. The incident was immediately to my front, the Hibs midfielder slapped the flat of his boot on to the inside of MacLeod's ankle, a straight red. BBC Scotland banged on about the injustice but refrained from showing the incident. Anyways, Stubbs was lauded for going public with the demand for a strong referee, Alan Preston encouraged more managers to highlight decisions at Ibrox. McCoist had a decent retort, inviting Stubbs to name his own ref', or he could even ref' the game himself. Hibs came, deservedly battered us 3-1 and referees and decisions were conveniently forgotten about over the next three fixtures between the clubs. I listened last Saturday as Stubbs was interviewed on BBC Radio Scotland by Connie McLaughlin(sister of Chris). She asked about the Scott Allan transfer saga and it felt like a rehearsed line as Stubbsy replied, "we were open and honest, impeccable the whole way through". Connie purred. I prefer Rangers to do their talking on the pitch, batter them again and dearest Alan will be under pressure to find pastures new. I suspect one of Stubbs old clubs, Bolton Wanderers might be looking for a new manager soonest? They like him in Bolton, he left under open, honest, and impeccable circumstances. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
