Are you just looking at this just as a manager? Have you not heard Souness talk about Rangers at all? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralCartmanLee 313 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 He jumped ship to go to Liverpool, why welcome him back? Souness did well because he had the money. I can only presume the people who aim this stuff at souness weren't around at the time Souness was happy to stay to the end of the season but , rightly, Sir David asked him to leave stright away so i wouldn't call it jumping ship exactly. Also souness didn't just spend money he brought a whole attitude and swagger to ibrox that stayed with us for many years after he left. Souness has recently being slaggin off modern professionals attitde and said he would never manage them now, he ain't coming back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotBear 144 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Souness is a legend, but I wouldn't take him back as manager. Too many character clashes over the years, what he says about the modern professionals rings true, but the fact is modern managers need to adapt to this......not roll over but strike a balance and understanding.....and I think he failed in this respect later in his career. I'm sure Sir Alex Ferguson, for example, put up with a lot more from Ronaldo than he would have done in the 80s and 90s. You have to change with the times.

Maybe mate, but, changing too far is not a good thing. Manager should be in charge, not vice versa, and, sadly, that isnt always the case anymore. Wouldnt be a bad director of football though I think, shit, even have him in the lounge having a cuppa so he can beat the piss out of lazy players!

Emerson 2 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I hate these "He'd put a rocket up these players" claims about Souness. He had the same abilities at all the other clubs did he not and has been sacked from pretty much every job since leaving us! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate but memories is all we have got at the moment when you look at the mess the club is in. They are. So why risk tarnishing them by bringing a legend back to try and do a job that is becoming almost impossible? As I said I appreciate what Souness did for us, but I want us to look frowards not backwards (like we did when we went for Smith) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had the money, I would have Souness in as owner Did I say it was? I don't want to live in the past and the here and now isn't that great either. However I fail to see what's wrong for striving for a new owner and a completely new manager who can build a new legacy at Rangers. As for Souness being owner, as far as I know the guy has next to no real business experience and as a manager a history of throwing money at a situation to try and solve it. And you would happily hand him the reigns of one of Britains biggest football clubs. Thats letting your heart rule your head a little bit is it not?
