hampden86 83 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Over a period of 2 years or more?? I can only think of the wee general who got us the treble in his first season Even he split/lost the dressing room before Big Eck came in. Point being, the Pedro experiment has sadly failed and we need a British and more likely a Scottish manager who understands the mentality of Scottish players, Scottish football and can organise the team into a unit and build confidence. I don't believe a Foreign manager can work long term or even medium term. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown Brogues 223 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Pedro might be absolute gash but if he was given the funds that Advocatt got, i suspect he would win a trophy or two. Rangers need a GOOD manager whether he is scottish, english or foregin. I think its more about quality rather than nationality. Although, any decent manger that hasnt got ties to the club or blue specs on will require a decent wage and a wedge of cash for players. Thats the biggest issue we as a club are facing, funds.

K.A.I 36,183 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Has there been that many? the tarriers went through some dodgy ones Brady, Venglos and Delia ... we've had flops like Pedro and Le Guen. Why only a 2-year period? that excludes Wim Jansen for them when he was a success. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ibrox Derry 8,887 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 When you think about it there's not been that many foreign managers in Scottish football. I think that tells a story, that any really decent manager worth their salt would have absolutely fuck all to do with this Footballing backwater.

Sergio won one cup Jansen got out after one season cause he knew Rangers were going to humiliate them in 98-99. No medium to long term success from any but Dick. 5 trophies I think. Albeit with significant funds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeit with significant funds. I think you are being pretty blinkered there. Winning a Scottish Cup for a Dundee United or Hearts and finishing in respectable league positions is deemed as a success. I'd need to check my timeline but I'm sure Jansen bailed due to lack of funds and backing from the celtic board - maybe even went before we confirmed Advocaat but I'd need to double check. The last bit about Advocaat you are moving the goalposts and talking now about no long term success and funds he got - that doesn't matter. The question is who was a succes - and he was.

TMB 14,167 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 This seems like a thread targeted towards hating Pedro just because he's not from Britain. Say what you will about his managerial talents but being from Portugal has fuck all to do with anything. McCoist and Warburton were British.

Think the thread is categorising him as a failed foreign manager and hate hasn’t been mentioned. Granted he will be given more time and it’s not beyond all realms of possibility he will be a success BUT it’s very close to being beyond all realms of possibility he will flop. ?

You said it was “a thread targeted towards pedro just because he’s not from Britain” to which I replied hate isn’t mentioned. Maybe this thread is alluding to him being a flop (which is fair given the circumstances) and yes he’s foreign. He could be from govan born and bread - he would get the same treatment.
