Blue_Devil 350 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 This statement should (rightly) rule Ferguson out: "It was an interesting meeting because he's a foreign coach with his own ideas about the way he wants to play," he said. "The meeting went fine, but I know there's about another four or five guys been in since, so I have not heard anything since last Wednesday." Why is being "foreign" his defining characteristic as a coach? Alarm bells for Pedro. the brown brogue, Trooblue and True Hair Bear 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever takes this on has a big responsibility to ensure Pedro gets the right information. that's my opinion of it. The new assistant coach also needs to be with us on the training field and have the same philosophy as the rest of the coaching staff. "He needs to know Scottish football and also needs to know how to relate to the players. That's what I'm looking for." Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Seems to me Pedro places a lot of store in the local appointment being able to slot in to a lieutenant role on a level footing along with the lieutenants who arrived with Pedro. He has to earn Pedro's trust and fit in to the Pedro way of working and not the other way round. That for me rules out the likes of Brown and Ferguson. I don't see them readily adapting to a role of playing second fiddle and knuckling down to take their lead from - and give sole loyalty to - Pedro. The more I hear Pedro speaking about the sort of qualities he is looking for the more it seems to be that Rae is the closest to fitting the bill. If I followed his press conference correctly Pedro will make his decision this week but because next week is a busy week he won't announce who is selected until the week after next. Plenty of time then for the Rangers leak-machine to do what it likes doing best and squirrelling the story out to a favoured newspaper ahead of the announcement. Would be good if Robertson could do his job and hold discipline on this so that the first we hear about who is selected comes from Pedro himself. I'm not taking any bets on Robertson being able to exercise enough command to achieve that though. Sweetheart 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

onefootwillie 1,518 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Always liked Kevin Thomson , talks well about the game . Nearer the age of our players in fact younger than some. First real step on coaching ladder . You would also think he would be full of fresh ideas and willing to learn.

ShaneRalfRoss 301 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I would be happy with Kevin Thomson if he wasn't so injured prone for us he would been key player and captain. His own downfall is he mates with idiot Brown. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harlands plater 16,957 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I liked KT as a player for us but does he get the "local" thing Pedro seems to be after? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Hadji Spit RFC 733 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I think Alex Rae has a bit more passion about him than any of the others mentioned. KT is very bland for the type of role which will include motivating the players. Ray Wilkins would also be good, he has, in my opinion, a little more class about him.

Gaz52 11,837 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 It depends on the remit of this 'person' to be honest. If it's just an advisor then Miller makes most sense. But if he's actually holding formal interviews with people then I imagine it's going to be a bit more hands on than just taking advice off someone. KT has good ideas of his own, he's recently started his own football academy. He speaks well and presents himself well, he's someone you'd like to represent the club. Plus he used to love kicking tarriers about the pitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz52 11,837 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 We're obviously still in the land of the unknown with Caixinha. But something that sticks out right away is he's got a lot more self-belief and self-style than Warburton. I think the board have deliberately set out to appoint someone who will take on Rodgers when it comes to ego. Rodgers is delusional at times though, hopefully Pedro doesn't end up like that obviously. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
