Fuckin yaas.
Genuinely a worse appointment than Pedro and PLG, making him probably the worst manager in our history.
Nobody has been worse than Pedro, at least PLG knew he was in the wrong place.

Did any single person the forum think Davis would be a possibility? Genuinely curious
I certainly did not, was not captain material and doubt that me could inspire our bunch of plodders.

Without doubt the Clarke, McInnes, Martindale type of manager could organise the team into a recognisable system. 5-4-1 etc designed to be solid at the back supposedly the easiest coaching task.
However, the support, the club demand and need to have a team set out to win every game possible not to hope to hold out for a draw and possibly get the odd set piece win.
We need a manager who knows about winning trophies and understands how to do that not a manager whose philosophy is try not to lose.
We have seen how Man Utd spiralled when Moyes took over and have still to recover and how Chelsea sank when Potter tried to weave his be tight and draw games system.
We need a winner but they are as hard to get as a 40 goal a season striker.

A manager with half a fucking clue gets something out of this squad. It's not as broken as it seems.
However, the Beale ship has sailed. Everyone's jumped off.
I do not think that’s the case. We have no reliable strikers, our midfield is non existent, our defenders turn into Keystone Cops if we put the ball out for a corner. We cannot give away clowns like Wright because no one would take him and he like all the other dead wood are happy to sit back and take the wages we over pay them. Again this season we have bought more dross on contracts which mean we have added even more deadwood No one is going to turn Dessers, Lammers and Cifuentes into competent players, no one is going to make Jack mobile and forward thinking, no one is going to make Roofe into a bionic man. Our squad is filled with mediocre failures and projects that have been found out by other clubs to be mediocre failures and we are the easy dumping ground. Scouting and recruitment has been horrific for 11 to12 years and worst still our boards have learned nothing from the countless mistakes and seem determined to bleed the support dry while looking down their noses at fans who generally know more about the game and the club than them.

Leet us be honest, our scouting and recruitment has been honking for the last 11/12 years. Something has to be done to bring a better quality of players in because we have wasted so much money on what often looks like lazy scouting and recruitment of targets from years before.

A story I heard not long after he’d gone was that he wanted more money.
The club’s pay structure was, apparently, pretty rigid, so they called his bluff.
Came back to haunt us a few times, iirc.
Don’ think that was Jim Forrest, I am sure that John Lawrence openly said after Berwick that Forrest and Dandy McLean would never play for the club again. I think the pay story was about Jim Baxter?

He had everything, the pace, the vision, the movement and the natural quick feet shooting ability which made him the most effective striker I have seen in our jersey. If he had been allowed to stay with us I am sure his record would have eclipsed Super Ally.

Cifuentes always has that, "I gave up Los Angeles for this" expression on his face.
Even this level is beyond him.

I genuinely forgot Scott wright played for us
We could not give him away, one of the strangest signings especially how much the sheep benefited from the swap. Surely we must be able to field better.
-
A really strange game; for the first 30 minutes we looked like a poor part time team with a midfield who could not keep possession or make simple passes. A long ball hit and hope team. The suddenly Cifuentes started to look as if he had actually played the game and Lundsram and Lawrence started to get on the ball and make passes. A deserved hard working win which with a bit of luck could have been a lot more comfortable.

Btw Adrian Durham has just said commentating on Arsenal PSV "How Rangers shipped 7 goals to this rabble I do not know, this is the worst side i have ever seen at this level, they are an absolute shambles, this could even get to double figures"
To be fair we let them play, we gave them so much time and more importantly space to attack and punish us. Lazy midfield not closing down, letting them double up in wide areas against our full backs unopposed, drawing out Goldson to try and help and exploiting that space. Our tactics and failure to deal with how everyone knew how they play made them look better than they are.

The ONLY thing that makes me think he might do well is I can remember Walter suggesting him for the job but that may have been in much darker times and just seen as an upgrade on Pedro or something.
I don’t want Mc Inness but Walter knew more about football than I ever will.
He promoted and suggested Ally as well.

Offside is the only non subjective element in VAR decisions so should not be controversial. However, decisions are sometimes so tight that it would be easier if the rule was changed to if any part of the body is onside the goal should stand rather than have a nose or a slice of kneecap making a player offside.The handball rule has been changed so often so why not simplify offside?

Hi Graham, we cannot pay you the £10 million a year that you were on at Chelsea but we are sure that you will give that up to manage in the footballing backwater that is the SPFL for a fraction of your wages. However, for this and for the first time in your career you must win every game and we guarantee you will not be able to buy anyone who has a decent background of success or a non bargain basement price tag.
What do you mean xxxx off?

Can you tell me who was in that position in Walter Smith time at Rangers.
Ewan Chester.

We demand a manager who wants to win every game yet people suggest Clarke, Potter, Dyche whose football philosophy have always been organisation to avoid defeat, hope to draw or maybe scrape an odd goal win now and again.

One thing that baffles me and has for the last couple of seasons is the lack of off the ball movement. The amount of times someone's go the the ball and there's just statues in blue jerseys hiding. Watch any well coached team and there's always plenty of off the ball movement. Making runs in behind or someone coming short, it'll create space for players to pick up the ball in dangerous positions. Stuck out like a sore thumb last year against the tims at Hamden. They were miles a head of us in how much more they were moving off the ball dragging our players about to exploit space. For me that comes down to good coaching and as someone eluded to earlier, I doubt you could even class Beale as a good coach.
Spot on and shows when we are trying to "control the game" by keeping possession. Good teams do that in or close to the opponents half, play triangles and with movement there is always an option for a pass. Our players try do keep possession by playing square balls along our 18 yard line letting the opposition come forward and box them in resulting in the usual pass back to the keeper to launch and lose possession.
This happens so often and I keep thinking do the players and coaching staff never watch football and learn how other teams keep possession, make runs, close down etc etc.

100% Graham Potter
No we need a winner not a guy who wants organisation to avoid defeat, happy to draw and hope to maybe scrape a win. Like Moyes going to Man Utd Potter was the wrong choice for Chelsea as he would for a team like us where winning is a must.

What after Goldson with a free header, headers directly to O’Riley15 yards away?
Aye is was Souttar fault 😂 ffs
A ball in the air headed by an opponent; if only we had some midfielders or forwards on the park who might have challenged for the ball.

EVERYTHING wrong with Rangers for years is MENTALITY based. It's not a brand of football / philosophy issue at Ibrox!
The Rangers manager should be feared first and foremost.
Sadly it is more than that; commitment in pressing, tackling and attacking. Pace, ball control, passing ability, shooting desire and accuracy. Above all failure to learn and adapt. They see how much poorer players work their socks off to stifle us but still play into their hands with slow build up, slow or non existent movement on and off the ball and adopt the after you Claude attitude to the opposition.
With our club any new manager has to have winning experience at a decent level rather than managerial promise or survival qualities.

And in that time he's won the same amount of major honour as the at johnstone captain did in one season
Because it is nothing to do with the rest of the players that have lined up alongside of him? Honestly it has become ridiculous that he seems to be blamed for the shortcomings of others who fail to play at anyway near his standard and production and terrible tactics and signings outwith his control.

These two are the least of our problems; we have no goalscoring strikers that can be depended on, we have nothing in midfield to control the game going forward or to defend. We have no one capable of replacing them.
