He's now turned down us and Sunderland. Barring a complete collapse, he's virtually unsackable there now. Looking out for himself and his family, I’ve no problem with that if he’s happy for his career to reach the heights of Aberdeen. Maybe under a different board he would’ve jumped at the chance of Rangers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about that to be honest, a defeat tonight and he'll go from McHun to messiah to McHun again within 24 hours. Sheep currently in my office are half gloating and half raging at Milne. Agree it's probably the safest option for him though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we ask someone else and they said no?? He can see what’s going on at the club just like us with the revolving door on the managers office and the clueless cunts in Blazers. That would make any manager pause. It's an important appointment, not all the board were convinced that another rookie manager was a good thing so there would be meetings to discuss. They correctly took some time to go through the applications. If you want to criticise our board they should be getting pelters for being unambitious by even going for a manager who has won fuck all and can demonstrate ZERO ability in winning leagues, cups (aye alright) runs in europe or even challenging for first place regularly. Derek McInnes openly stated he loves life in Aberdeen as does his family. He is happy being mediocre and shat it from taking on a club the size of Rangers it is actually just as plain and simple as that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know anyone who would leave a well paid stable job to take on one where you would always be on a shaky nail. You'd need to be fucking mad. You don't take on any job when there are expectations, but you don't get the tools to do it with. It is clear King is not giving any manager the funding to take on the scum, but the expectation is that they do so. Why should anyone take on the job in those circumstances? The only one I see that lacks any ambition is King/board and not any manager. We are a fucking joke and King is the lead fucking clown. Did he even speak to anyone at Rangers regarding funding or did i miss something Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siam69 26,876 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I still think the Board had planned for Murty to be in charge until at least the new year, possibly end of season, dependant on results. But the two losses prior to the sheep, the then pressure put on them with the AGM as well, forced them to make the move for McInnes when they did. I'm not entirely disappointed in him not being appointed, I've already said i would have been very underwhelmed. But it's how it was all handled, and the aftermath. Reeks of knee jerk, not professional, arrogant even. The Board have no one to blame but themselves for the undoubted extra pressure being now put on them.

Willie King 15 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 9 hours ago, The Godfather said: Honest to fuck. Murty is not a manager. He' a youth coach who' filled in well but he' simply not going to take us anywhere near challenging. We need a manager in, fucking about with Murty is going to end one way and he doesn' deserve it, There is a guy named Baldy Pep now at Man City who was a youth coach at Barca and Zidane was the same at Real Madrid prior to becoming manager. What I see from Murty is a man with great potential. a man growing into the job, a man producing better performances with some cracking results, a man coming back strongly from setbacks, a man that understands the standards required at our great club, a man with more tactical awareness than the previous 3 managers put together, a man with different game plans, a man determined to succeed, a man respected by the players and media and finally a man most of us like. If there is no money for a TOP manager - Murty is the man for me as he is going to be a manager at a big club one day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangersross 6,530 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 We're incredibly lucky that our U-20's manager happens to be so composed, professional, and capable. Everyone thought very highly of Unsworth at Everton and when Koeman left things only got worse. It's pretty remarkable that we've had a guy who's used to coaching youths come in and substantively improve our first team in a matter of weeks.

That is exactly what most fans see and there is no reason why he cannot continue in the role permanently. I would put all my assets on Murty having more success as Rangers manager than any of the 3 previous managers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
