Martinblair1690 2 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Billy Davies has admitted that he would relish the opportunity to manage Rangers during his career. The Scot, who is currently in charge of Nottingham Forest, has recently been linked with a return to his Glasgow roots at Celtic.The 45-year-old has been quick to play down those reports, claiming he has unfinished business in England, but has now revealed that he fancies returning north of the border in the future.And, having spent three seasons as a fringe player at Rangers at the start of his playing career, admits a move to Ibrox would be his preferred choice."I'm very open-minded with regards to the future. I would love to, no doubt, someday manage Glasgow Rangers," Davies said in an interview due to be aired on Saturday."Whether it's in 10 years, 15 years - whatever."However, for now, I'm desperate to get back to the Premier League. I want to get back there with a club that will financially support its manager, a club that wants to compete at that level and doesn't want to change owners. That's my biggest challenge" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 54,072 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 As a manger he's obviously talented, but I'd like too see him prove himself in the Premiership before he even gets close to the Rangers job.He's also always moaning about how hard done by he is and I would hate to see a Rangers manager feeling sorry for himself like that.

Muff 245 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I fancied Billy Davies to replace Paul Le Guen, but I'm not too sure on him anymore!?Decent manager, done well in the Championship with unfavoured clubs, however, he is slightly overrated, struggles when under pressure, and alway's seems to moan, or fall out with someone at the club. I'm not too sure if he could handle the pressure of managing a club like Rangers? His interviews are pretty poor at times, he comes out with the wrong stuff, and is a sore loser. His interview after the Derby and Clough 'scuffle' was embarrassing.Does he have what it takes to manage Rangers... I'm not too sure on that - time will tell. I'd like to see him in a 'bigger' job than he is currently in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Williamson. 82,853 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I'd have no problems with him being our manager in the future.He's doing a good job at Forest but like Muff says I would like to see him at a bigger club in the prem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumbria_blue 51 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 He's obviously talented as he managed to actually win a game with that Derby team in the premiership. Even the combined minds of Sir Alex Ferguson, Bill Shankly, Jose Mourinho, Guus Hiddink and Jock Wallace would have struggled to do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
belter 1 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Oh no never have you seen the way his teams play defo not expansive free flowing football ,we need a change from that style therefore someone like d mcinnes who has his teams playing football would imo be a better choice.

Muff 245 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 People are saying that they'd like to see him successfully manage a bigger club than Nottingham. Could this not result in a case similar to that of Davie Moyes? We wouldn't get near him if he took over the likes of Spurs or Villa.I doubt he'd get anywhere near a club like Spurs or Villa.I'd like to see him manage in the Premiership, again!

Cumbria_blue 51 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I'd be keeping an eye on Derek McKinnes as well. If in 3 or 4 years he's continued to improve and do well at St Johnstone, I'd think he'd be in with a shout as our next manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 54,072 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 McInnes should be the next Rangers manager.I really rate him but I think we will miss the boat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

docspiderman 1,239 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I think Davies has fallen out with every chairman he has had, usually over money and staff. He certainly looked after his relatives when he was at Motherwell.Would not like to see or listen to him at Rangers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcbear 10,924 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Good young manager, proved himself 3 times over, he must be doing something right.I would much rather have a young manager who has cut his teeth honing his skills elsewhere than promoting a novice from within, sorry Ally your cup games do not inspire, if it was McCoist who had followed Davis's career we would be screaming to get him as manager imo.

lancedeangers1 287 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Ally M'Coist will and should take over from Walter when the time comes.Outside of Ally I'd love to see the likes of Steve M'cLaren come in although I think his stock will have risen too high for us to attract him if he wins Dutch title.

hutchy14 4 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I think the ideal situation would be.Sir Walter takes us for another season and wins 3 in a row and leavesBilly comes up if forest don't get promoted and takes over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
