Gandalf the Blue 1,384 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 He'll be here next year, but unless there are major changes in the squad, the fans will turn on him pretty quick. He is urging the players to play through this, but the reality is theyve checked out long ago. Get half of them to fuck starting with Tav. Who am I kidding, it will be Tav and Goldson starting the next game. Scunnered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangersross 6,530 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 The thing that gets me is that Lennon - who's hardly a master tactician and has lost dressing rooms in the past - managed to make motivational and tactical changes in the winter break which have fundamentally turned their season around. There are managers who we could afford and attract who could have out-thought and out-managed Neil fucking Lennon and if Gerrard can't do that he's not at the required level.

BigBearButt 3,619 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I said at the time we should have went for warnock. Proper old school manager that doesn't take shite from players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve beaten Hibs, Hearts, and Aberdeen by >4 goals and thoroughly outclassed celtic and European opposition far beyond SPL standard then - after a break which actually improved our squad - completely flopped. We’re already the most technically capable team in our league. If we sign better players but fail to address the mental rot it won’t make any difference. I reckon only way Gerrard overcomes that mental barrier in the squad is by winning something. So we either win the Europa League or wait another year.

Gerrard has no future as a manager if he doesnt turn us around Big clubs wont touch him, lesser clubs cant afford his management style, he's a sky sports pundit for the future Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stature in the game is such that he could probably still get an EFL Championship or MLS job. He’s still a “rookie” in some ways - and plenty of sides are willing to take a punt on those - but a rookie who can also point to guiding a Scottish team to the latter stages of a European competition stands in pretty good stead. Especially if it’s widely accepted in football that Rangers is a very tough gig (and I imagine it is). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookstar 0 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I'd definitely keep Gerrard. There is no way we can play 16 games in Europe and play Sellick off the park twice and not be a decent side. So what has gone wrong? I'd start with the basics - Goldson, Katic, making schoolboy errors and conceding terrible goals. Goldson v Hamilton ; Tav v Hearts; Katic v St Johnstone ; the list just goes on and we'd still have a chance in the league if we hadn't given away crazy points even if not playing well. At the other end of the park , Buff has stopped scoring, got suspended etc. I know we're not playing well - but neither are Sellick. Get the basics right and we wouldn't have been far away :( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
