insider 123 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I have thought long about my opinion regarding this potential employment. I would go for Alex Rae.. Could understand if Barry was chosen. None of the others mentioned would give me much confidence. WATP-FOREVER 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that comment about it being bigger than reaching the UEFA Cup Final is laughable. It wasn't the FA cup though. It was the Carling cup aka League cup.

Birmingham City are not. He also said the UEFA Cup would have been his choice but at the end of the day it is about winning things and we fell short at the final hurdle. I believe he has also commented on this since he said it. Its not something I would have said as it causes headlines like these, but he is referring to size of footballing achievement. He is effectively comparing size of club to size of competition won. It's almost as if their is a seperate industrial entity that follows Barry around,.. ..in 'excuse-making'. It's never his fault,.... even when he's quoted as saying something, apparently he didn't mean it. Trooblue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shite argument, A boyhood Rangers fan saying that Winning a tinpot cup with a shite club is a better accomplishment for him than Winning a treble or getting to a Uefa cup final at a club like ours is just dumb as fuck.

Honestly wouldn't mind Brian Laudrup having trouble deciding between Euro '92 and 9 in a row but for a so called Rangers man to say anything winning a diddy cup with a diddy team is better than a treble or Uefa final with us is totally mental and any cunt defending it needs chased. plumbGER 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows it's a shite argument but for some Barry could come out of their bedroom after shagging their Mrs and they'd ask him if he wanted a cup of tea.

Sweetheart 8,458 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I've been thinking about this and I think Ally McCoist would be a good choice, Goal scoring legend, Good coach under SWS, Hadn't completed his manager training when he got thrown into the management role, took us through admin, took us up two divisions.
