Soulsonic5791 408 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Before anyone says 'Silva???' I'm thinking of his record at Olympiacos in a league similar to ours which is mainly dominated by two teams. Albeit AEK are the current champions for the first time in twenty odd seasons. He wouldn't be my first choice - just trying to gauge opinion on him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAA 3,658 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I don't think Rangers is a safe enough job for Frank de Boer right now. It's the opposite of safe in every way. A board with a poor reputation, 5 managers in the space of a few years, an impatient support and a small chance of winning the league any time soon. The mismatch in ours and Celtic's finances has made the job a very hard sell in my opinion. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also a bit of a mercenary. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,721 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 They saying goes you can't buy success! I disagree, when you can afford to buy the better players you will get more success. Until we can get some investment then we will always struggle to regain success. Any manager needs cash so as to build his team and his reputation, something we don't have so it restricts the appointment of a new manager. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any manager needs cash so as to build his team and his reputation, something we don't have so it restricts the appointment of a new manager. Money almost always buys success in football. Without an outstanding manager our chances of stopping Celtic in the next few years are very slim. Even assuming we made a great start to the season and were top at January, Celtic would sanction a spending spree and pretty much guarantee it didn't happen. We've been pretty lucky they've been generally pretty frugal this season, and made a bad decision to spend big on overrated loan player who can't even make the team. All that's done is made the gap between our squads artificially small, it doesn't represent the gap between our bank balances. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy won three successive titles with Ajax and then took on car crash jobs at Milan and Palace. He would be a project manager and given 2/3 years to work on this. He also has an affection for the club. There is nobody else with his qualities and the only other mentioned is perhaps Clarke? However, FDB has a winning mentality and record with Ajax as a manager and as a player with various clubs. He would be ideal for me. I think he won 4 titles and lost a 5th on the last day drawing with a team down at the bottom of the league'. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbr 1,256 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 No matter whom we approach/sign , its pretty obvious we are going to make the same mistakes as before , any new manager should be in the stands watching us week in week out now , not in the summer , I don't really care about this finishing 2nd , 3rd , 4th nonsense , we aint finishing 1st we should be planning everything now around next season 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if he isn't, you are aware he can watch matches retrospectively, as they are all televised/recorded. Or he can have an assistant watch them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
