SteveEarle 9,774 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 What about King making a mercy call and trying to reunite Smith and Souness to rally the squad and push for promotion? It's maybe been mentioned on here before but they would surely tear into this shower we have masquerading as a Rangers team just now!This would allow time to get the right man for the job in place for the close season.Ibrox would be packed to the rafters each week.

BridgeIsBlue 66,612 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Why not Advocaat and big Eck? Or McCall and Butcher?We can't keep looking back if we want to progress the club for the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOAT 30,449 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I wish people would stop the nonsense about going backwards when Smith is mentioned. It's not as if we're asking for him to return for another five years, we're asking for him to come in boot baws for the next two months and get us promoted for a new manager to come in and build a squad.There is no better manager than Walter Smith for what we need right now.

cushynumber 25,178 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 we should be on the phone to Walter till June and I would be surprised if we haven't informally approached him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoGeo7 10,557 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 There was me thinking you meant Papac.If only.....while we're at it Big Dado would be awesome too!Seriously though it's time to leave smith be, I think this would be too much for him anyway. I wouldn't mind Souness being around the training ground but not as interim manager due to his health.We need to replace McDowall but I want someone that will be the right long term assignment. I don't think that will happen before the season end so perhaps some choice appearances and words from the right folk might help. Could you imagine the look on the players faces if they turn up for training and saw Souness or Alex Ferguson there to help out??!! What is give for the fergie hairdryer treatment with our mob.

No chance, not with that squad of players, therefor we should be looking at the future starting TODAY, not in 3 months time, start ASAP, blood youngsters and who knows, if we fail at least we have given ourselves a platform for next season, hoping Smith can suddenly turn this bunch of losers around then start a fresh in the Summer is head in the sand stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WATP-FOREVER 5,231 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I'd rather have Walter Mitty than Kenny McDowall - Kenny's a dreamer in comparison. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geronimoo 1,474 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 IMHO Souness like Bomber I would have in there doing something as we need a fight in the squad.Souness could even come in as DoF on a short term basis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would help out elsewhere but bot coaching. He's done with that. He doesn't want to have to 'lead footballers by the hand' in everything they do.

SteveEarle 9,774 Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Just getting back to this thread now. That was my original point. Something, anything, is surely better than what we have. Someone to get us promoted and through to the close season when potential managers contracts may be up enabling the club to approach them. I wasn't saying we go back to SAS as a permanent option. Perhaps frustration is getting the better of me!I'm all for the next full time manager to be young, forward thinking and innovative.It's beginning to look like McCall may be coming in to give us the kick start I was hoping for. Fingers crossed he can sort this shower of wasters out and get us up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
