Gonzo79 15,299 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Potter has done an incredible job in Sweden but who knows how he'd do at a club of our stature. Expectation levels are on a different planet. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,823 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Potter's Ostersunds have been rather impressive with their 5-2-3, which reminds me of another superb young coach in Nagelsmann, but he has only managed one club; I'd need to see if he could replicate it, or see it working at a higher level before considering him for Rangers -- although, they're doing well in the Europa League so it seems like it can be replicated at a higher level.

pete 2,499 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 GUSTAVO Poyet is believed to be latest high-profile manager to express an interest in becoming manager of Rangers. The 49-year-old Uruguayan, who managed in the Barclays Premier League with Sunderland and won the League One title with Brighton and Hove Albion, is out of work following his resignation from Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua six weeks ago, and is thought to have had his name put forward to director of football Mark Allen as a potential replacement for Pedro Caixinha at Ibrox. He is now waiting to hear whether the Govan side will take the application further, with further moves to fill the position set to take place during the international break. After the failed Caixinha experiment, the club are thought to be keen to opt for a British manager, with Derek McInnes, of Aberdeen, still thought to be the clear front runner for the post. While the likes of Alex McLeish could yet come into contention, and perhaps even Alan Pardew, Rangers will be keen to leave no stone unturned and the link with Poyet is an intriguing one. After spending seven illustrious years as a player at Chelsea and Tottenham, he then spent six years with decent success as a manager in England. Recent years have also seen him spend time in Greek football at AEK Athens, in La Liga with Real Betis and Shanghai, where he worked with the likes of Carlos Tevez and Demba Ba. The father of Diego, the one-time West Ham prodigy who the club were linked with back in the days of Mark Warburton, Poyet’s ability to work with British players and Latin ones such as Alfredo Morelos, Carlos Pena, and Eduardo Herrera may hold some appeal for the Ibrox board. It was reported last week that Michel Preud’homme, the former Standard Liege, FC Twente and Club Bruges manager, had also expressed interest in the position. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 15,299 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Poyet would be interesting. Any appointment is a gamble but he has a decent track record. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,960 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 The Times ( per Ewing Grahame, a man I am told, who may not hold Rangers in the highest esteem) declares that Steve McLaren has emerged as a "shock candidate". D of F Mark Allen, apparently, "believes that McLaren is the best man for the job". McLaren is currently a coaching consultant at Macabbi Tel Aviv. No compen would be required. I have come to the conclusion that nobody has the faintest idea of who will be chosen; worryingly, this may include our Board. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

26th of foot 6,119 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Travelling home from today's game, listening to BBC Radio Scotland. Stuart Cosgrove tells us the Pacific Quay scuttlebutt, it's accepted that Derek McInnes will be revealed as Rangers manager on Thursday. Scotland are playing Holland on Thursday evening at Pittodrie, and Aberdeen prefer the international running interference to the news. I am sure Gersnetters are aware Big Stu' talks pysh on matters politics and football. Of course, there is the law of averages? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
