1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Anyone unfortunate enough to read the thread Scotland second highest paid manager consider this....We regularly slate, rip into, almost criminalise Naismith McGregor et al for fucking off.Then you get this slant slagging someone who (once again) demonstrated his undoubted passion for our club and gives the nappy tugging lurkers easy pickings. He stayed. In fact he gave up a lucrative TV career to come back to Rangers and he's staying for the fight. But no - that's no good enough for some. Unbelievable!!You can't have it both ways.You do have a point ...My argument though is that for someone who's the second highest paid manager in the country (in fact just how much less is he actually getting than Lennon? it might be closer than you think) we should have a higher caliber manager/manager with more ability.It's not McCoist fault Whyte/Bain gave him a bumper contract ... and as much as I don't rate him, I don't expect him to walk away from 750k-1million a year ... why should he?What happened to this wage drop he was meant to be taking anyway?

WVB 2,560 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Like I say, he stayed, he didn't f..k off like the rest of them surely that cuts him some slackHe used up all the slack , and then some, last season, and his ridiculous outburst at Forfar just sealed the deal for me.He should walk. Unfortunately, his cheerleaders shout the loudest, and blind sentiment will drag us down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 And the worst run of results in history of ANY Rangers manager.Must admit I'm not in the pro-McLeish camp. OK we had some good times granted but also some of the lowest moments I've felt as a Rangers fan ... 3rd in a 2 horse race, something like 7/8 straight Old Firm defeats, not one win in something like 11 games which was a record low for us .... Viktoria Zizkov etc ...It wasn't all bad, but his time was rightly up Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of what McLeish done was fantastic, CL last 16, helicopter Sunday, but it was tarnished by what happened next. The only thing that forced McLeish out the door was his poor results towards the end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 5 games at Ibrox without a win too.

The only thing that forced McLeish out the door was his poor results towards the end.Agreed. 50% amazing 50% absolute lowest of the low. His time was up.

Jimfanciesthedude 24,493 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 his time was up, but our protests outside the ibrox doors during that run of no wins was pretty shambolic considering all he done for us and that we were still in the CL at the timeAlso, the 5 winless games at ibrox, were they not including at least 1 CL tie, possibly 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
