johanhentze 14,073 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Hearing Craig speak there on Rangers TV is VERY encouraging... going on about selection through physical ability is in the past at Murray Park (whatever you want to call it). Focus on technical ability... im greatly encouraged by what he had to say.. Germam model is what he is wanting to adopt! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzGers 425 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 What a fantastic interview on rtv. Some highlights:- turned down Southampton academy director role to stick with rangers- looked at numerous models in Jan to adopt- chose german model, playing from back, pressure on ball, fast counter attack- emphasis on creating hungry players, ones that are desperate to play for rangers- banished the idea of players being "too small"- aiming for top 10 academy in EuropeOne of the youth players said:- play from back- players are looking to be creative- everyone out of their shell- footballing philosophy is a lot betterSeems he's been a positive appointment, now to build on it with a scouting department!

johanhentze 14,073 Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Was good to hear everything he had to say.. If Southhampton were after him, then he will be good! Lets hope he gets to realise what he intends to impliment! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainDandy 834 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Really excited by the stuff he was talking about, as a football coach myself everything he said is bang on the money. All teams strive to play the way that he described but it'll take a few years to have this type of philosophy evident throughout the youth setup.

bluedart1952 1,349 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Excellent interview, I think with Craig in charge of our youth academy its going to be a huge improvement on what's went on for quite a number of years, looking forward to seeing our future stars.

now then forever 298 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Could be one of Rangers best signings keeping hold of him if Southampton were after him for a director role in their youth academy. Southampton's is without a doubt one of the best in the UK. Hopefully, Craig can turn ours in to one too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferris Bueller 1,569 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Good article with him in todays programme as well, very encouraging stuff and surprised that he turned down the academy directors role at southampton, must be highly regarded in the game if they were interested.

eosmhdo 1,879 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Since the other thread on this got deleted I will repeat my post.Good guy, who couldn't get a game for Vale juniors in his day.Hopefully a better coach than a player but been there a long time so this is no radical shake up.Just an introduction for people who don't know him.Wish him good luck though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
