Maybe needs a run of games to get up to speed with the SPL, Saturday's game wasn't the one to throw him into IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you're spot on with that. We will spend the summer getting through the EL qualifiers and negotiating our way through the first round, which we will and the job will be Murty's. I doubt there will be the room or the appetite for a new manager to bring in another new squad. No way will this board take the risk of a new manager wasting money on more dross and I would think they will start to have us living within our means as these loans cannot go on forever. These two will weed out the worst of them and bring in replacements. If there is no new income streams or investors, I suppose it makes sense and it can work. Wether these two can deliver, only time will tell, but JN has been round the block a few times and is streetwise enough to keep Murty right and protected.

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,272 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 JN is just so left field. Has Murty ever worked with him before? The most logical explanation would be that this is a precursor to Michael O'Neill coming in the summer. But then again this is Rangers, so who knows wtf is going on.

onefootwillie 1,518 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I think Jimmy Nicholl will do a good job for us . I have got to say I can't see what the long term plan is but don't think Murty will be the long term solution. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harlands plater 16,933 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Maybe he’s coming to do the groundwork for Tommy Wright. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
westenclosure2008 787 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 If it is Murty’s decision then I think it’s good that he’s looked for some experience and wouldn’t be surprised if Walter had reccomended him. Anybody other than Murty would have been given the benefit of doubt until they brought their own players in. Not sure he’ll get that luxury though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ibrox Derry 8,820 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 We will do fine with a guy of Jimmy's experience around. He has over 50 years of football behind him as a player and manager. A sensible back to basics appointment at this stage of the season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneDavidCooper 2,505 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I was wondering why Jimmy Nicholl would take a job for 6 months maximum so the ONeill theory does make sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herrera's selection is no more baffling than Windass's's's's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably earn more money working for us for 6 months than he would working at Falkirk for a few years. Plus, he gets to work at Rangers, which is not a chance that comes along very often.

The majority were willing to give Pedro the summer to bring his own players in. There are always some that want a manager out even before a ball is kicked. I think any manager would struggle with the lack of quality and depth in the squad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure you it is true. Many wanted Pedro sacked after the result against Aberdeen, after the Old Firm semi, and again after the Old Firm game at Ibrox. We weren't even in to the summer transfer window and there was already a strong movement growing for him to be canned.  Your earlier post stated that "anybody other than Murty would have been given the benefit of doubt until they brought their own players in" when that's not true at all. We seen with Pedro that results are expect even if you come in with the league already lost having never signed a single player.  Murty has been given plenty of leeway by our fans especially after the results against Dundee, Hamilton, St.Johnstone, and Kilmarnock. I think most of our fans accept that Murty is a youth coach out of his depth and doing the best he can under difficult circumstances. I see plenty of praise on here for Murty and he's certainly not on the receiving end of undue levels of criticism by our support.
