Agreed - and while his primary job is the team - I fully expect that working to a budget, understanding what monies and levels of investment were available to him were a big and ongoing part of the discussions. He seems a clever man and happy to understand and work within the financial straits of the club - he will also be able to more than hold his own in any financial discussion the board wish to have.

cushynumber 25,178 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 It all looks to be part of a plan, theres nothing random about it. For example the cellic signing of Allen seemed to me to be a bit random and its been shown he is already surplus to requirements. I dont get the impression MW would ever do that.

AlBear. 8,499 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Not to take anything away from MW but credit for our financial management and transfer strategy should also go to the likes of Robertson, Dickson, McParland and the board in general. Even MW has mentioned that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have everyone trusting each other to do their jobs you're going to have a productive environment. still waiting for the smear campaign of big bad Rangers stealing players.

Dutchy 1,200 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 It has to be like this until we start earning 'big' money in Europe and winning cups. Sponsorship will be well improved if all that happens but I still don't expect MW to throw the cash around even when there's more in the coming years.

Until we have sustainable revenue streams we aren't going to be going to 7 figures. It's all a matter of common sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats what I like about the current set up - Between King and MW they are really providing leadership to the club - moving it strategically and hiring great people and doing it very professionally. While its not a Souness like impact I think the effects of the current leadership will provide something 'Struthesque' in terms of building blocks for a long terms, sucessfull future.

I also doubt, even the great MW, could convince English League 1/Championship players to up roots just to come and play in the fourth tier of Scottish football. But congratulations on bringing McCoist into a thread commending MW. Never gets old. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine if they had? What a waste of talent with the board we had they'd have walked for sure. its actually the one thing McCoist did well, if we had 3/4 managers during that period we probably wouldn't have made the championship.

dan_ger 1,454 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Surely part of it is making a stand against other clubs, particularly in Scotland, to say we wont pay over the odds and fund your poorly run, poorly supported clubs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammy cox 664 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Perhaps the board have also finally recognised that multi millions don't have to be spent to beat the scum and win a league which apart from one team is made up of teams put together for a few hundred thousand if that.If theres still doubters out there well surely yesterdays scoreline proves that even with multi millions on the park you can still be humbled by a team that cost how much?. Yes it was a one off game but as MW says every game is a one off.Get a game out the way move on to the next.Consistency is whats required and that consistency can be gained without the need to spend multi millions.If the sheep had showed any consistency they would be clear of that shower weeks ago.Perhaps in MW the board have found a manager that can achieve what we all desire and without the need to fritter millions.We have a good bit to go but with W&W we are heading in the right direction.Theres plenty of hard work still ahead but im sure we are heading back to where we belong at last.

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Mark Warburton has a vision; something this club has lacked for quite a long time. He is building a team that will hopefully bring a great deal of success to Rangers, and will hopefully leave a long term legacy one day in terms of a football style etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in terms of building a legacy of attacking, passing, attractive football, plus a winning mentality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
