(for the record, I don't want Lennon anywhere in Scotland.) Though at first I thought you meant John Lennon! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCann has been a failure as a coach at Falkirk and a few other lower level clubs, so shouldn't be considered in my opinion (I liked McCann as a player and he is also a decent pundit). The issue we have is that historically, we haven't had or currently got anyone at the club qualified to make footballing recruitment decisions (players and managers- the jury is still out on Koppen). We've won 3 domestic trophies in 10 years but have gotten to the business end of EL in the last 5 or 6 seasons, including a final that we should have won. Competing (which will lead to winning) in Scotland shouldn't be difficult. Beat the rest consistently then the OF games take care of themselves. Another trophy-less season and another Celtic treble and some seem to think it'll magically get better next season. Spoiler alert - unless we change the manager, it won't. If you read David Holmes book he mentions that when he joined the Rangers board it was akin to a Bowling Club Committee - sadly, he'd say the same if he was on the board at the moment. Until we rid ourselves of the amateurs like the Parks, we're only going in one direction, and it ain't forwards. Caught up in our grumpy mood ( 😱😜 ) you probably missed the point of the sentence ... IMHO, we need someone who understands the task at hand, i.e. Scottish league titles. Be that Muscat or someone else. Hence, there should be Scots involved at some point, McCann, Weir or the like. These two were just examples of people who know what makes our hearts tick. What is necessary for Rangers FC, as it runs through their veins. We don't need either of the Scottish guys mentioned as managers, but as people who tell the guy at the helm about the direction the ship must sail. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knudsen has stuck around at Bodo as he gets a big % of any transfers fees brought in I believe. He is more that the manager there. I think I also read that he wants a big backroom staff to come with him, which has put a few clubs off. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 9,005 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Are some fans honestly saying that for £2M a year, we can't entice / find a coach who can beat Ross County, Killie, Motherwell on a regular basis? Wow....... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow....... I agree. It's not about getting 'top tier', it's about getting a decent coach. It's a similar view to those saying we can't afford to replace Bassey because we sold him for £20m. He cost nothing. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow....... It's more about getting a coach/manager who can get the best out of his player's you watch some of them playing for us and it's plain to see that a lot of them need a good hard kick up the arse we also need a coach who's not slow in giving the youth player's a chance i don't mean the odd start or bringing them on for 15 minutes give them a run of games a dozen or so to see first hand how they cope 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why are we paying Clement that, and why did we inexplicably extend his contract? Sorry, those questions weren't specifically aimed at you and are rhetorical anyway. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
