[2023] Who should be the next Rangers manager?

[Malangsob 1,264]

I can't believe Lampard is considered a serious option. 

 

He is really bad.

Billy Davies has thrown his hat into the ring. Wonder if the bold Tommy Sheridan would be his assistant..

This is my thoughts, the fact that its even mentioned, let alone dicussed, is a disgrace and hopefully, purely from media but it sounds more advanced than pure rumour

The Club could name its price to Amazon.......

Daily Record links are banned on here and with good reason.  Their stories are worth less than a Zimbabwean penny.

I remember Mark Warburton mentioning the unrealistic expectation levels that were trumpeted prior to our first season back in the top flight.

 

It made his job a lot more difficult.

 

There are reasons why this is becoming like a groundhog moment.

 

Hoping for first place when we are very much behind our main rivals in finance and relative stability is fine, but expecting it is unreasonable.

 

We need to get real, recognise where we are and give some leeway for rebuilding the club and team to the point of being truly competitive.

 

The club need to get real and communicate reality rather than the usual sound bites.

 

Any manager coming in has an extremely difficult job. In the past we would throw money at it. That option is becoming ever more difficult.

 

This should have been done years ago. The longer it goes, the deeper the hole gets and the way out becomes dependent on your rivals  imploding.

 

 

 

 

 

I actually think the support will give a manager, any manager, time if we can see progress. Beale's problem wasn't that we lost to Celtic and PSV, it was the manner of those defeats. The side had regressed, there was no discernible style of play, we were passive when we should have been aggressive, we were naive when we should have been knowledgable. Gerrard got time because we could see progress, despite setbacks. His style of play was attractive, the gap between us and them was closing, the players we had were better and continued to improve. 
There's more realism in our support than we get credit for. We want to win, we want to win the league, but we'll accept defeat if we beleive the side has given everything and is on the right path. In my opinion.

[Gonzo79 15,292]

Well said John.

 

Given the size of our support and the nature of social media, some of the maddest folk get too much attention.  We're not going to scream for a manager's head after every defeat, like some would make out.

I don't know anything about most of them. I know Lampard sucks. As much as I hate the Australian accent, I will go with Muscat. 

The Clement guy's record looks good as well.

I think the only person that made Warburtons job more difficult was Warburton. He came in and refreshed the playing squad with some great young players. Tav and Waghorn being the standouts when first appointed. 

 

His pursuit and signing of O'Halloran was baffling the following winter. The signings of Crooks and Windass were exciting to the support on pre-contracts.

 

Then in his second season and our return to the top flight he had completely 180 his signing policy and started signing guys like Senderos, Kranjkar and Barton. His lengthy pursuit and big money signing Joe Garner turning out to be a client of a player agency his daughter had involvement with made it seem rather murky.

 

I remember his quote when he seen the supporter display at the first home game back against Hamilton 'Going for 55' - he said his heart sank the moment he saw it. I think that sums up the mentality of the man. We were never going to win the league that year, everyone knew it but it was a signal of intent to build something that we could challenge with in subsequent years. A challenge Warburton himself didn't think he was up to.

If Lampard was to get post I would seriously consider giving up my ST.

 

Don't know who I would like but defo not him.
