Dan Deacon 55,735 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I agree. I think Ally needs someone with a bit more experience than we currently have beside him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theweebluenose 4,335 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I suggested this a wee while ago, McCoist and McDowall are both pretty inexperienced. What experience in Management has McDowall got bar youth coaching? Souness as a rookie Manager insisted on bringing Walter in for his experience rather than give an old pal a job and was probably one of the most important decisions he made as a Manager.

Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 It's not rocket science as i said in a thread a while back this is the same management team that was in place when walter was in charge. Walter and ally are not the same type of person therefore they require different types of deputy to compliment them both.Personnel have stayed the same and it's about time super built his own management team to compliment him. There is no one there to kick asses, everyone seems too nicey nicey in our management. And for me, that's why it's not working to well. Would love someone like terry butcher as assistant to ally, *someone like* of course as butcher would never do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights 2,526 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I'd love Archie Knox back. Knows what it takes to win. JJ wouldn't be the worst shout either. Give him a job until the end of the season and then both are flexible. If he gets offered another job then he can go. If it doesn't work then he can go.

Edmiston Drive 3,846 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Could maybe doing with this guy back.Would have to say a No to that one. Have memories of him from couple of training sessions I watched and by chatting with a couple of players at the time. But could have done with someone, but who? George Graham would have been ideal man is Rangers through and through and knows the ins and outs with top clubs, but is he too long out of the game?

cpm1979 202 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Only a suggestion, but what about bringing in Richard Gough as no.2? 9 in a row captain, nows rangers inside out, look at the players he captained over the years and helped the management team to get the best of,knew how to man manage these players and build a never die attitude in those teams?

What was it u seen with a couple of training sessions that would lead you to that opinion, hands in pockets, looked not interested, talked down to someone.Kicking player on the shin after player just back to fitness with shin splint problems(clue) because the player nutmegged him at a kick about game. And was told he was lucky not to get punch in the face.Just being a hard man with no substance apart from his position and ridiculing young players.Yeah was the bully but the senior players I knew did not reckon to his football brain.First and foremost just about all managers have a feeling of insecurity that is why if you look back just about all of them take a mate as assist to protect their back for fear of someone backstabbing them.Souness was one of the few I think didn't pander to this , well with us any way.

I know we've let this lead slip but people forget we had a similar winning run to the one the tarriers are enjoying just now, there's no point in changing management and backroom staff halfway through a season.

delamonty 992 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Agree with this. re: Souness.. he said Walter was the best signing he made.Is it too late now?
