tannerall 25,935 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 It's nice to have a decent manager again, up to the players now to prove themselves. Think we'll see a few who can't or won't cut it and surprisingly (or not), they will be the bigger names imo who have been stringing along. Expect one or two toys to be thrown out of the pram by a few "established" players too, but it needs to happen so the dead wood can be moved on at end of season.

harlands plater 17,065 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I notice he mentioned the U20s.I watched the Motherwell U20 team a couple of times at the start of the season, at one 9am kickoff on a Sunday morning Stuart McCall was standing behind the goal watching.He didn't interfere with the coaches -Scott Leitch and Jonatan Johansson - but at the end of the game he came on to the pitch, spoke to the team for a bit then got some of them to go through some positioning stuff on the field before they were eventually allowed to go off.At the time I was thinking "I can't imagine McCoist doing that on a Sunday morning". McCall seems like a guy who keep an eye on the whole setup including the young guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cr3_bear 15,019 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I hope he pulls it off , I have a feeling the "feel they haven't had a chance" quote was maybe directed towards templeton , have a feeling McCall might fancy giving him a runlet's hit the ground running rangers and get ourselves two home wins before that fixture at easter road in a few weeks , I will take 2 wins right now and if we even notice an improvement in performance then that is a bonus.

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 McCall covered every blade of grass as a player; I'd imagine he wouldn't take excuses about why a player didn't turn up for work and do his best. He was an honest player, and he will expect his players to give the same commitment he gave I'd imagine. He will also know that players can have off days, but I like the fact that as a manager he sees his job as getting the best out of players. I think the attitude on the park could be the biggest difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenose48 953 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Definitely yes. Lets give him a chance to get rid of the dross and put eleven players on the field that will at least give us 100% for 90 minutes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAmo'sThighs 848 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I am, even more so after his press conference. Spoke really well and I hope he gets the best out of us and turns us around. Go get us promoted Stuarty and make the job yours. Loved the tenacious little fucker as a player Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUEDIGNITY 33,709 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 It was a no brainer really, should've been two games ago but hopefully his enthusiasm will rub off on the players and we will start playing like a Rangers team should.

Dietspam 733 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Yeah i like the way he's come in. None of this sit in the directors box, wait a week to assess the team like some managers. Kenny Black drove up from Sheffield to watch the Hibs game on the back that they might get the job. McCall comes in and tells players to get their arses into training on their day off. No messing about from these two. Very impressed so far and i hope he does well i really do. Like his attitude. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,622 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 The worse thing for me about it is its a chance for him, but not really fair on him either as a manager at least deserves a transfer window to get his own players in and put his own stamp on the team.

Our squad is so big though, do we have space, never mind funds, for new players? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblueal 2,117 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I voted yes to the simple question of - "Are you happy with........."Happy that we've got rid of McD as he was f******* useless and deserved to be punted.I think SMcC knows he could only get a short time deal. He loves our Club and can see what's needed.If he gets us promoted, he could be in the management team for next season under, dare I say it - Richard Gough.After all, he was also one of the backroom team of DK and if CG was rewarded, then why not RG.Don't find the Gough as manager theory likely. He's doing nothing else just now so he'd be straight in if that was even considered. He might have a role to play bit not as manager or DOF.

A Gallant Pioneer 555 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 His combined record against us and the tims is P24 W3 D3 L18 F14 A60That is a horrifying stat though it was with a club who paid players £500 a week whilst us and Celtic were paying our players 10 and 20 grand a week. Give him a chance to see what he himself can do with those galacticos, in Scottish terms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don81 2,846 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Really happy with the appointment, even more so after hearing the interviews. Just a wee story about Stuart McCall the man. Lived near me when I was wee and came walking by the patch of grass we used to play footy on with his dog. Was obviously swamped when me and the rest of the Gers fans there realised we had one of our heroes in our midst. Rather than get pissed off or make his excuses and walk away he tied up his pooch and kicked the ball about with us for thirty minutes. A great half hour I'll never forget Used to give out cash at Halloween as well , was always a queue at his door Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
