This is the worst bit of pointless gossip since Jack Butland joined Birmingham City. Yes, Souness has said that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,292 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I don't mind Souness being consulted on football matters. He isn't making the big decisions and there's no harm in asking a Rangers supporting football man what he thinks about that side of things. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit - perhaps I'm not making it clear that there are many other roles that Souness could be consulted on part from football operations - media, PR, fan communications, etc Edited October 27, 2023 by Bill 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beg to differ if he is putting forward names like Lampard for the managers job. I can't think many fans would have been happy with that, and it is ultimately shit advice for the board. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Souness said of the interviewed candidates Lampard was his "favoured" choice (and gave his reasons) but also said Clement was an outstanding candidate. Souness was brought in by the board to interview the candidates they had selected. He did this and was part of the process that ended with Clement being our new manager. Whether Clement was / is the right choice, only time will tell.. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not interviewing to be club mascot. I don't want a consultant that provides advice that we should sign a manager who has continuously failed, Jesus imagine having Lampard in right now. Happy to have him back in another role. I didnt want Lampard either but to suggest he has continuously failed is an over-reach. He did well with Derby and was unlucky to not get promoted - then in his first stint at Chelsea he actually did very well whilstthe club were under transfer embargo. He hasnt "continuously failed. But certainly not won anything or a success in his 2nd Chelsea stint 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same could be said when he manages Chelsea as Craig mentioned above. He was never NOT going to take the Chelsea job. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
