BlueSuedeSambas 54,397 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 When it comes to talking about potential future Rangers managers?He was often talked about as one when he was at St Johnstone but he completely fell off the radar when he moved to Bristol City & flopped. However, now he seems to have rebuilt his reputation a bit now, he's got the sheepshaggers playing some decent stuff, they are into their first cup final in however many years and are sitting second in the SPL.This will probably spark a whole debate on the old boys acts, jobs for the boys, widening our horizons and changing the culture of the club (not necessarily points that I disagree with) but looking at it purely from the point of view of that historically we are a club who more often than not have appointed British managers it's surely no bad thing that McCall, Butcher & now McInnes are all proving themselves as very capable SPL managers and it bodes well for the future when it comes to identifying a new manager further down the line?

1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Mcinnes defo wouldn't be just jobs for the boys He's actually went away and proved himself first and has the attributes to be a successful Rangers manager in my opinion Unlike McCoist Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godfather 72,635 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I'd be happy with him, he has proven in the top league he has what it takes and has a piss poor Aberdeen team actually playing good football which is no mean feat.

GOAT 30,449 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I like McInnes as a manager, but I'd rather we had a foreign coach. Coaches in this country (with the odd exception) don't have the technical ability to teach the players the foreigners are used to. I'd prefer a Dutch, Spanish or German manager.

G.E.C. 19,053 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Don't take me seriously but I thought Mixu done a really good job with Killie. They played some nice football. I'm not saying go for him, but at least someone with a philosophy. The next manager will likely be a Scotsman anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol had one of the lowest budgets in the championship and he did well keeping them up in his first full year....look at how they have fared since he left!

The next manager will likely be a Scotsman anyway.Didn't do so well at Hibs but learned from that experience and came back a far better manager at Kilmarnock.Not too dissimilar to what seems to have happened to McInnes after he flopped at Bristol City too.

MasterD 7,446 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I don't doubt the next manager will be between him, Butcher, McCall. Sadly IMO. Easy options.I'd rather have someone like Nigel Adkins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theiconicman 3,002 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 We should go for a manager that has learned his trade in the lower leagues with proven track record and history of bringing youths through. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 54,397 Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 What about john collins done great with hibs.As a manager I would say no. He's been out of work for far too long to walk straight into a job like ours.However, as somebody involved at the youth level then I would give him a resounding yes. He was apparently hated at Hibs because he was deemed arrogant and wanted his players to live like professional athletes. He also encourages his teams to play football "the right way" which is something we would all like to see.If you want somebody who understands the Old Firm mentality but has the knowledge to bring the standard of play forward where if could benefit the first team in the future then he could be a great choice IMO.
