Have you never heard of Largs, where Mourinho learned his trade & first met Steve Clarke? We need to be realistic here.

We are not going to appoint a big name, even if we could afford to, the only realistic option I’ve seen on this thread is Clarke & even he might knock us back. i suspect it will be Murty who guides us into Europa League qualifiers (if we finish 2/3rd) as the statement from Dave King was deliberately vague. We won’t win the league until either Rodgers leaves (to Chelsea this summer?) or some billionaire sheik comes in like at Man City, so we just have to be content with gradual progress. We are a better team than last season, so add half a dozen first team players & we should be well clear of Aberdeen & Hibs next season. Unless we gamble & bring in a new manager who is probably going to be worse than Murty! Even 4th will be in Europe unless Hotherwell win the cup. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we gamble & bring in a new manager who is probably going to be worse than Murty! Yes, I know of Largs. It's different, though. I'd need to do more research, but it's not just about getting your badges, but about developing methodologies, tactics, training methods etc., and I think it's linked to clubs as well. No, I think most managers will work under a DoF nowadays -- unless it's an old-fashioned British type that wants absolute control; but we don't want -- or should not -- want to go down that route. I don't think Murty was ever going to get the job. I believe -- or perhaps it's hope -- that a new man will be appointed at the end of the season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also got Dennis Bergkamp the sack as it was him that backed him in getting the job. There is totally no difference between Murty and Keizer in experience. If it is Lambert, well............. Of course I jest but you never know I would give Murty a budget and another season to see if we can get it right . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 I agree that is the way forward and while they are putting up a complex for that they should add a wing to start up an academy for referees at the same time. I am being serious and not being sarcastic. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,744 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I would hope that Mark Allen is already working on this 24/5 ... not least since we would sure have an answer by the time of the share issue / AGM and before the season is over. After all, the break before any potential European qualifiers is short and any recruitment of players (to be selected by the new manager) needs to be done too. Unless we snatch players from a team competing in the World Cup. I wouldn't be surprised if none of the guys mentioned is actually on the list of names on Allen's desk either. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers has unfinished business down there & his massive ego would mean he’d take the job in an instant. He has worked at Chelsea before & Conte will surely be our the door this summer. I guess you’re saying Chelsea wouldn’t want Rodgers, but he is a world class manager in my opinion. They could do a lot worse, but sadly I think that is Rangers best hope at the minute. Things can change quickly in football.. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
