bilko89 507 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I would be happy with this, with a young manager, Cathro or McCall preferably, coming in to start a fresh next season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bothwellbear 1,392 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I think this would be an excellent idea. He is a proven coach and knows what it is all about. Would rather have had Wotte but this is still good news. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOAT 30,449 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Said it the other day, we need someone who will boot baws right now and remind these wasters who they play for. I think the ideal candidate for that was Walter Smith, until the end of the season. However, booting balls is Magaths speiciality. He isn't the answer long term though, so give him the job until May, get promotion and then put him upstairs and het a young and upcoming coach to work with him long term to restructure everything from top to bottom.This HAS to happen.

Clemdog 39,389 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I think this team needs a boot in the baws, but not just that. They need someone to install confidence in them and work on the man management. These guys don't care for the Club like past teams have. So I reckon if Magath comes in all guns blazing they'll just sulk. Take the abuse and be even worse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I reckon if Magath comes in all guns blazing they'll just sulk. Take the abuse and be even worse.With so many of them being out of contract and no guarantee that the manager they're playing under will still be here at the start of next season, that's a huge possibility.Right now they are failures at Rangers, couldn't make the grade in lower leagues, the shirt was too big for them.That's how I'd put it across to them and encourage them to change that perception and leave with their heads held high.

Essandoh 21,104 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Can't believe I'm reading people ask who Magath is. He had a poor time at Fulham, but realistically he shouldn't be anywhere near the running for the Rangers job considering what he's accomplished. I'd take him to the end of the season, if just to guarantee promotion.Agree with the points made though. Walter Smith reminding players who they're playing for has a lot more weight than a temporary foreign manager, no matter who it may be.Ian Cathro and Magath as DoF however? Sounds golden to me. Mind you, I can't see many British managers nevermind Cathro wanting a DoF above him. It all depends on the duties that title entails. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself and a fair few of my friends were very critical of the Fulham players last season, their poor attitude got Jol sacked and the rot had set in by the time Magath was on the scene. In regards to the PLG comparison, he fell out with a captain who was very popular with the other players and the fans, while results on the pitch weren't going his way. If Magath came in and took the hard line, the stock of the current squad is so low with the fans, the backlash would be on them if they complained, not the manager. dougie76 and IainB 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds_Bear 8,062 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I don't know if I am happy with this or not, What the hell I will be happy with anyone that comes in at the moment. Would rather Mcinnes or cathro, well anyone that plays an attractive style of football should I say! I'd be very happy with McInnes and Magath but can't see DM being happy with working under a director of football. Also Cathro has already publicly stated that for his first managers job he wants to be in complete control of the philosophy of football at the club he moves to - he to might not be happy to work under Magath.
