managerial shortlist

[Bearosaurus 41]

Open it up to applications and make sure the applicants are properly interviewed unlike what happened with McCoist.

Half the salary McCoist is on at the moment and it might just surprise us who applies.

McCall did a superb job at SPL level with Motherwell, and beat the tims on many an occasion in the process. I'd take him in an instant until the end of the season and take it from there. He would marshall us well for the big game in January.

Davies is overrated. He's been sacked a couple of times, and while he did well guiding Derby to the Prem, whenm they got there they got one of or the very worst points total ever.

Davies is a much more succesfull manager than McCall. No competition.

Apparently the times he was sacked were for clashing with the chairman about his interfering in tactics, and upsetting players with heavy workload. Exactly the guy we need at this club.

Certainly no newbies. Had enough of the Greig and McCoist years.

[smitzer007 198]

Souness would shake the football authorities in this country to the foundations. And he would scare the shit out of Them!

What, no AVB?

Shocking fae yous.

McCall for me

Smith, Struth and Souness definitely never worked out for us.

Thought someone would come back with this. Given Rangers' fragile state, I again say "No newbies".

Davies for me ...... been managing teams in a cut throay environment...only realistic candidate with the necessary experienceressure and dealing with difficult boards.

There does appear to be a number of serious-minded and detail-orientated people available, who work to a model of moving the ball around quickly on the ground, and who are not in current employment.

Holloway would be good one, McLeish would do the business.....McCall would be cheap and good proven good manager and If Im honest deserves the chance.

Ally must go.

McCall is only a proven good manager if you isolate the bits he done well. He tried (and failed) three times to get Bradford (Favourites every year) promoted from League Two. And this myth about him constantly losing his best players is disingenuous. He may have lost the likes of Law and Higdon but he replaced them with McFadden & John Sutton.

[GMac 1,405]

I like Alex Neil, but at 33 he's younger than some of our players.

Stuart McCall and Duncan Ferguson would be my choice.

[Virtuoso 27,180]

I don't understand the whole 'Billy Davies' love in other than the 'he's one of us'.

All fucking hype and no substance.

Is Holloway not employed we wont be paying compensation for our next manager it will be someone unemployed which rules out big Eck too

Awful manager. Does well for a short spell then once he's allowed to bring his own players in it goes to shit.

He's currently toiling as milwall boss 1 point above the relegation places.

[Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,677]

So yes would be the answer to my question unless they fire him we wont be taking him as our manager and swapping one struggling manager for another doesn't seem like a great plan albeit Holloway has done well in the past on little money

[sillybilly 151]

Numan and Ronald. I want entertained

[Alwaysblue 709]

Someone mentioned it earlier. Eddie Howe would be a good shout but the Laudrup brothers - what a team that would be!!
