The Dude 20,026 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 This came up in another thread but think it's probably worthy of its own. One of the big complaints is his lack of experience and dropping unnecessary points. Nobody will argue we shouldn't have done better in some of the games we've lost so far under Murty but as an inexperienced manager, these kind of things happen as you're finding your feet. So I looked at another manager's record when he took the reins despite having never been a first-team boss in his own right and was really surprised by what I found. If Murty wins his next two games (Fraserburgh & Aberdeen) he'll have an identical record to Walter Smith after 20 games as Rangers manager. Walter's First 20 games: St. Mirren (a) lost 2-1 Aberdeen (a) drew 1-1 St, Mirren (a) won 1-0 Dundee United (h) won 1-0 Motherwell (a) lost 3-0 Aberdeen (h) won 2-0 St. Johnstone (h) won 6-0 Motherwell (h) won 2-0 Hearts (a) lost 1-0 Queen's Park (h) won 6-0 Dunfermline (h) won 4-0 Partick (a) won 2-0 celtic (a) won 2-0 Hearts (a) won 1-0 Falkirk (a) won 2-0 Dundee Utd (h) drew 1-1 Sparta Prague (a) lost 1-0 St. Mirren (a) won 1-0 Hibs (n) lost 1-0 Aberdeen (h) lost 2-0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, the team Walter had was MUCH stronger compared in relation to the opposition we faced at the time. He inherited a league winning side full of internationals Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, plenty have compared Murty to Smith to illustrate why they don't believe he should be manager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he wasn't a manager? Just an assistant and a youth coach but definitely not an actual manager? Jimmy Bell hasbeen sat in the dugout for 30 years. Must be dead experienced as a manager Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit unfair on Rangers supporting sports direct employees. Anyway it was interesting to see that Muty's early managerial record is similar to Walter's.

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Well that’s Murty really fucked because Real Danger has decided he is one of the Rangers men gang to be defended at all costs. Might have something to do with him being appointed by his can do no wrong hero’s in Blazers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
