outlaw69uk 123 Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 He is not a bad manager, but surely Rangers will have better choices than him.Am sure, all I was saying is I felt I saw a change in him, personality wise, and, further down the line, perhaps. He has always been a "NO FUCKING WAY", for me, but, thats now mellowed to a "hmmmm?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott-RFC 308 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 His stock is pretty high at the moment without really having done anything.Lets wait and see how he does over a decent period of time with Scotland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DundeeGer87 0 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 It's fair to say the Scotland squad will be the most talented group of players he's managed. If he can get something out of this Euro campaign, which would require consistency and good performances against the Spanish then yes maybe he is good enough to manage us. Time will tell how good he really is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 He's not done anything since leaving Dundee United, and even then, he was nowhere near being good enough for the Rangers job.With the players Scotland have, and the group they have been drawn in, they should be qualifying for the Euro's.

welsh103 12 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 He's a good manager. His teams are always organised and hard to beat. Don't think he will be leaving the Scotland job for a good few years, he's gone in with a plan to change scottish football at its roots Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SandyIniesta-Nordahl Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I like Levein, not so much as a manager, but as a person.He comes across as a decent guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimfanciesthedude 24,613 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 everyone that says about him being good enough for rangers etc etcremember eck's achievements before taking the gers joblevein may actually become far better if given a big job, until he gets a big job no one will never know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clelandhattrick 8 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Behind closed doors, not out in public. Wilson at 18years old is a outstanding "prospect" and that should always be the line used.Would you ever here Sir Alex or Walter use that kind of line and bring the boy down in public...Levien hasn't impressed me one bit.If he's good enough then he's old enough ... to be criticised. Wilson struggled against Mehmet and Higdon, so I think Levein was correct in his assessment. Clearly it wasn't some sustained character assassination. That said, Levein can still be an obnoxious prick! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boab 73 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Yesterday was the first time I have seen him commenting on a game and he was much better than the usual commentators. He definitely made a lot more sense than that idiot Pat Nevin. I was disappointed that the half time talk featured the Scotland game rather than showing some of the crowd and atmosphere at Hampden.To have the Scotland Manager in the studio and not ask about our (Scotland) win at Hampden would have been silly.

Leiper 0 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Always thought he is a decent manager.But I lost a lot of respect I had for him when he ran to the rags after a few poor decisions. Reminds me of Neil Warnock and I fucking hate that moaning cunt.Nobody likes to get beat and that is a good thing...But when it happens, suffer it with dignity.Maybe my expectations are too high now. I don't think I will ever see a better manager at Rangers in my lifetime now than Walter Smith. Respectable, Fair-minded, Champion and most of all, a True Ger.

papaguy51 912 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 You are a tough one JJ.One minute you're saying that we should be looking at Joe Cole-level players, then you're saying that they should be managed by someone who has only taken charge of Hearts, Dundee United, Cowdenbeath, Leicester and Raith Rovers, while totally unproven at Scotland.

cooper1989 0 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Didn't see this... But Levein impressed me for one reason. He stuck up for his club and players. ok, he wsa a bit of a dickhead -- but he was trying to take on the OF and so on. So he needed to be noticed.His sides always played well against us. Let's see how he pans out with the National side before any talk of becoming The Rangers manager. At the moment however, no f*cking way is he close to being qualified to take over. That said, I'd take him over Ally in heartbeat. Ally doesn't fill me with confidence. He's (Ally) right where he should be imho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietspam 733 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 If he bins the skip cap and track suit, then i would not be against him managing Rangers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I'd also take Craig Levein ahead of Ally McCoist. That's how much I don't want to see McCoist incharge. He's a first team coach or assistant manager at best. He's doing a good enough job in the role he's in at the moment, and should Walter Smith leave, then so should McCoist, McDowall and Durrant, unless the new manager wants to keep them on in the same capacity.Craig Levein, Peter Houston and Paul Hegarty... no thanks!

I like to mix it up a bitAlthough seriously, All I said was, my estimation of him went up a bit after seeing him on the tele, and, rather than not wanting him anywhere near us, somewhere in the future I wouldnt be so dead against it as I was/am Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangers4eva 12 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I think he's a good manager, he gets his teams playing some decent football. Got a good result against the czechs but never really had us playing any good football. Maybe further down the line he would be a good appointment but he's not done enough imo so far to merit consideration for the Rangers job when Smith decides to step down.
