    You said you can't wait to tell everyone I told you so not because you want him to fail but because of the shite you took for pointing certain things out.
    its the same thing really ain't it? If he doesn't fail then you don't get to tell everyone I told you so. Which you said you can't wait to do. Goes hand in hand.

    So you would rather see Rangers fail in order to prove your point to people on a forum you've never met?

    I know this piece at aimed at King and everything you've said about him is true however it's still a negative story for Rangers as a whole.

    @The Dude
    What's your thought on Blogging about the following:
    The hush up of paedophilia in Scottish football and the protection of the current champions (Penn State punishment comparisons). 
    The way we have been treated by football authorities including 5 way agreement, fines for admin compared to Hertz, Dundee.
    The sectarian issue on BOTH sides of the divide. Walters bananas, monkey mimicking at Diouf, refugee chants and fuck off home by Griffiths all seem to have been forgotten. Whereas the SC semi final IRA themed banner has just been ignored.
    State aid - How was the CGAMES carved up again?
     
    Each of these has impacted directly upon us or indirectly by allowing our city enemy to remain in a power of strength compared to others in similar situations.
    So how's about it?

    Dominated the game from start to finish when's the last time we could say that?
    Started well but we tended to do that under MW for first 15 and fall out the game. Not today kept it going for 90 and by HT we were home and dry.
    Cant remember being so comfortable at HT in the league maybe Kilmarnock at home. Makes some difference not having to go into last 10 min needing a goal or heart in mouth when the opposition go forward.
    Good start Pedro, more of the same ??

    ‪ https://rangers-culture.com/2017/03/07/who-is-pedro-caixinha-the-lowdown-on-rangers-new-manager/amp/‬
     
    Many Rangers fans will be unfamiliar with potential new manager Pedro Caixinha so we had a chat with Mexican Football expert and Liga MX ESPN Correspondent Tom Marshall to get the lowdown on the 46-year-old. Tom covered Pedro during his successful 2 season in Mexico as manager of Santos Laguna.
    What kind of manager is Pedro Caixinha, what are his philosophies? 
    Studious, meticulous in preparation, hands on in training and ambitious. I’d also say he is pragmatic when it comes to style. He is results-focused. Caixinha’s Santos Laguna side tended to be less concerned with possession – like most teams are in Mexico – and more focused on hitting the opposition in transitions with pace, although I wouldn’t like to say he’d necessarily play that way with Rangers. Caixinha has learned from Carlos Queiroz and Jose Mourinho and follows the tactical periodization methodology of Victor Frade. The style Caixinha would implement will likely depend on the players at his disposal. He’ll be very aware of what the club means after studying in Scotland. When he came to Mexico he read Octavio Paz’s “Labyrinth of Solitude” to help him better understand Mexican culture. Caixinha will know what he is getting himself into if he gets the Rangers job.
    What are his main strengths/weaknesses? 
    Caixinha is shrewd tactically, prepares his teams very well and is clearly obsessed with achieving big things. He has studied English, picked up Spanish very quickly in Mexico and has sacrificed a lot in his personal life to make it as a manager, despite not being a big-name player. However, he didn’t always have a great relationship at times with Santos fans, other managers in Mexico and some of the press. Basically, Caixinha isn’t afraid to speak his mind and some in Mexico didn’t take kindly to him rocking the boat. He was sent off a couple of times for losing it on the bench after refereeing decisions.
    Could you summarise his achievements in Mexico?
    Santos (Laguna) reached the semifinal in three of the five tournaments he was here and they were crowned champions once. That was despite experienced players like Oribe Peralta, Oswaldo Sanchez and Juan Pablo Rodriguez, as well as Colombian Darwin Quintero, all leaving the club in that period. Aside from that, his methodology and level of preparation were very new in Mexico. For example, he never repeated a training session in almost three years at the club. It was almost like Arsene Wenger coming to England and gradually changing the culture, although obviously Caixinha wasn’t in Mexico long enough to have the same impact.
    Whats his record like in the transfer market? 
    Very good. Santos sold big-name players and brought in Argentines like Agustin Marchesin, Carlos Izquierdoz and Diego “Pulpo” Gonzalez and went on to become champion. He used his connections in Portugal to sign the relatively unknown Cape Verde international Djaniny, who was a key player in the title run.
    What type of football does he like to play? 
    Honestly, I wouldn’t like to say how his Rangers team will play. As I understand Caixinha’s philosophy, it will largely depend on the players at his disposal. His Santos team had a physically strong core and were rapid on the wings, picking teams off on the counter – Santos won the Clausura 2015 final 1st leg 5-0 – but only had 38 percent possession. Make no mistake though, he’ll have a firm idea of what he wants to implement and won’t be wishy-washy about it.
    How does he handle the media? 
    Caixinha comes to press conferences prepared and often with a message he wants to get across. In Mexico, he once brought a list of examples of how refereeing decisions had benefited Club America and read them out one by one. I miss having him in Mexico because he got debates going and was a straight-talker. He went against the grain and is clearly intelligent. Rangers fans will enjoy his passion.
    Comparisons have been made with Mourinho, in what way are they similar? 
    Pragmatist, work ethic, coaching methodology, ambition and high level of confidence in own abilities.
    How far can he go in the game? 
    If he can tame his fiery temper a touch and not get into as much trouble with the authorities, Caixinha has the background to do very well. There is no doubt he’ll see reeling in Celtic as the central challenge at Rangers. From there, he’ll be keen to make a mark in European competition. With the way Portuguese managers are so in vogue at the moment, it’d be no surprise to see him at Porto, Sporting or Benfica, in the Premier League or in La Liga five years from now. What he lacks at the moment is a proven track record in Europe.

    Done well enough with 2 small teams in Portugal, only concern we have is he left after 6 games into 2nd season after a poor start. However most managers have a blip on their resume and reality is most managers that are willing to come to Ibrox will have a blip or two.
    Won 2 leagues in Mexico and got them to their version of Champ League final and according to Qatari football expert this is the best Al Gharafa (sp) they have seen in years.
    It's thinking outside the box and i'd rather take a chance on him than the usual drivel like McLeish or McInnes.

    That's my thinking, if he's brought to the attention of Wilson it's surely because he's on a potential managers list for Southampton.
    Given their track record recently, if true, i'd be more than happy to take a punt.
