Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Moyes is a football manager. Bags of experience and credentials. He knows the score when it comes to managing football clubs. Murty is a non-manager. No direct relevant football management experience of any kind other than his interim roles at Rangers. No track record of managing a professional top flight first team season after season. He is a gamble. A very big gamble. A huge gamble that could yet lead to a football catastrophe at Rangers even with JN there to help steady the ship. A gamble because he is a non-manger. Maybe not a Waitrose manager but the point is he has no direct relevant experience of football management and the Rangers board has seen fit to give him the job anyway. Did we miss a trick? It's not so much a case of missing a trick as the board of the Club failing to do the best thing for the Club which would have been to have appointed a proper football manager who has a good track record and who has enough direct relevant experience of managing a top team to inspire confidence that he knows what he is doing and can deliver accordingly.

I honestly don't know why, for example, any manager who cares about his reputation would want the Swansea job. Whoever picks their managers definitely should be fired. Except St. Brendan, he could lose 5 on the trot as portrayed as a kind saviour of world football Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it never worked out at Man Utd, but he was never going to fill the shoes of Sir Alex Ferguson. No shame in that really. I have to say I never wanted him based purely on the fact of who he played for. I'm now thinking I was wrong. I think our Board were of the same opinion and that's why he's not the Manager of Rangers. I'm now thinking they were wrong also. Given the embarrassing McInnes debacle, and the fact that we're still without a Manager, I just wanted to ask if anyone else thinks we've missed the boat here? Silly question, we couldn’t afford him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gj923 1,457 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 They are 11th which is 8 points better than bottom and they have only picked up 3 points more than bottom placed Swansea in the last 5 games. Added to that we could never afford him anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie1963 2,352 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 His stock had fallen so much we probably could have got him and I would have been happy with that. Really pleased with Murty and Nicholl though so glad it didn't happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Souness had no direct experience of managing a club when we appointed him. Smith had no experience of managing a top-flight team when we appointed him other than a handful of games as interim. Moyes' "good track record" ended four jobs ago when he left Everton. He was shite at United, shite at Real Sociedad, shite at Sunderland and will revert to being shite at West Ham before January is over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddybears1872 129 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Murty Is our Manager, He is doing a good job at stabilising the playing staff and getting that great feelin to be a Rangers player back at the club.. We will just need to see at the end of the season the progression made and who we can afford to consider. Maybe even consider a Extention to murty.

cushynumber 25,178 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 have a google at the salaries Moyes has been on - and is on (including the 7 figure bonus he gets if he keeps West Ham up) - and then come back to us and ask if we "missed a trick". It amamzes me that after all this time people still seem to think we can attract EPL quality players or managers - and pay commensurate wages Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Souness - no managerial experience. Walter Smith - no managerial experience. Warburton - two season managerial experience. Appointing a manager with little experience can go two ways. Either Walter or Warburton. It is a gamble but sure as Fuck im glad we have Murty and not Moyes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,446 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Its all about pressure up here. He’s not expecting to win every game, they couldn’t give a fuck if he lost 8 of his next 10 as long as he kept them up. Dealing with expecting to win every game home and away is totally different to scraping staying in the league. Alex Neil said a point gained yesterday when Preston drew one each yesterday at Millwall. The mentality over actually being a manager is needed first.
