HG5 11,113 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 14 minutes ago, tm91 said: Liverpool fans are plenty demanding. But for them winning a game of football is just winning a game of football - for us it's part of a larger cultural divide where we fucking despise them and everything they stand for and vice versa. There is nothing even remotely close to that in English football and I think we underestimate just how difficult it is for outsiders to properly grasp the unique dynamics of Scottish football and what Rangers (and the Orcs) represent. To be perfectly frank, I don't think it's possible for any manager not familiar with Scottish football to be able to get the club from a manager's perspective, so it's not surprising Gerrard struggles to do that. To manage Rangers you need to be aware you are fronting an institution that people both fanatically love and fucking despise, and part of your job involves a siege mentality and the view that success is 'at all costs' not just because winning football games is nice but because we cannot, under any circumstances, allow *them* to win. It’s a fucking crusade mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast 9,224 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Not sure what we expect him to say really. He's given players a verbal kicking in post match interviews and it's obviously had a negative impact. He's got to talk them up. I'm sure behind the scenes there a number of names on the squad list that have a red line through them for next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I think he properly grasps the unique aspects of the job, like the goldfish nature of Scottish football, the unique culture war dynamics between the Old Firm, and the absolute must-win at all costs because it's Rangers against the world thing that any Rangers fan in the job would? No. There's a reason our most successful managers are Scottish Rangers fans. Surely Souness woulda made him well aware of the expectations Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nk89 1,289 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Regardless of what happens he made a bold move to come away from his comfort zone where he was probs guaranteed assistant manager at some point, And take on this huge challenge. I will always respect him for having the baws to step up n give it a go!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetheart 8,458 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 8 hours ago, ps95v7 said: I believe he does 'Get It'. As a manager he needs to protect the players when their morale is low and boot them in the arse if they take the pish. I think he realises that their aren't enough mature players in the team, who would have guided the younger players in adapting to the mental pressures of playing for Rangers. He's spot on regards the protection for Rangers players whether it's from the board,our PR team, Fans or refs. I think he and the team are realising now, what it's like to be in the Scottish media fishbowl when their down on their luck. Everything they say is twisted and fans disappointment is escalated by the press. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 The last sentence in that wee quote proves he doesn't. He's been here for 2 years and Tavernier has been here for 5. If they still need people to "look out for them at times and help them" to know that comments like that are unacceptable after that amount of time then I don't think they'll ever get it either.

Maybe but he's never had the pressure of the team qualifying in Europe and playing the SPFL competition, the pressure may have got to him. His words of choice could have been a reflection of how he was feeling. He may be feeling depressed or out of his depth at the moment, being a captain of Rangers isn't an easy task.

He's had 4 seasons of top flight football with us, 3 involving European competition. If he doesn't understand that those are the basic expectations at this club then he never will.

hammer93 15,057 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Fuck me who would want to manage us with a support like ours...some of our support are embarrassing with the constant witch hunt against our manager....it really has become a case of unless you are winning every thing insight you are a useless cunt....it doesn't work that way at a club like Rangers....the clue is in the word SUPPORT.....which too many of our glory hunting fan base refuse to give when the chips are down....yes everyone wants to win games and trophies but threads like this to further attack the managers mind set about what Rangers are about are pathetic.

When we're utterly shite, the words are used as weapons to attack whoever spouts them. Truth is the content doesn't really change in either presser situation, how it is manipulated positively or negatively dependent on things like current form / success does.

backup 4,724 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 How can SG possibly get it, he sees us a stepping stone to England, as his recent interviews confirm. Personally I do not think he will ever make a manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
