SteveJ 743 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I am not going to dwell on those who berated many posters on here for wanting fresh ideas and people on the board who has a Rangers background, rather than city wankers hungry for money. This thread is for the coaching and playing side.When we were pumped down to the bottom tier, the Rangers fans were as close to being united as one when we wanted the manager to build from youth and add experience in key areas. We all cried for a style to be created that will build a winning side capable of competing in the top flight. We wanted a sensible approach on spending. Well it looks like we have it - three years late.Dave King admitted that some managers bolted when we failed to make the top flight and you know something - good fucking riddance to the glory hunters. I honestly feel that Mark and Davie want to instill a style on our play and they want to give the fans entertaining football. Had we been in the SPFL Premiership next season, we can only wonder who would have got the hot seat but one thing is for certain - they would have had to buy for the title and not for the future - so with that, I am happy to have seen Warburton get the job.A further year in the Championship to allow a young management team to build what we all wanted to see years ago? I'll take that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,624 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Warburton speaks well and I've always liked Davie Weir, till he came to us i never really realised what a great defender he was.I think they will do a good job for us but it wont be easy and we will have to be patient at first as the team gels and gets better throughout the season..

simplythebest 11,453 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 We'd clearly be in a better position as a club in the top flight, I don't think Warburton being manager changes that, he may have been the one chosen anyway. However we are where we are and we have to move forward from here Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purse strings might have loosened to create a bigger budget but we would find it much harder to settle a young squad capable of challenging in that league.

That's not to say we should dwell on it, the fact is our rebuilding starts in the Championship Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gersandy 594 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Just remember though, talk is cheap.

Yes we have a bit more leeway in the Championship , but I've no doubt Warburton would have been good enough for a Euro spot had we been promoted last season.

pcbear 10,932 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 If we had stumbled past Motherwell who knows who would have been in charge, no bad thing to rebuild where we are imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Azure 1,414 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I'd much rather be in the championship with MW & DW and the players they will bring in than be in the SPFL with the squad we were left with and playing like we did in the last two games of the season. We would be getting embarrassed on a regular basis. Time for the new broom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think it will give W&W some breathing space too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nabeday 27 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 The proof is in the pudding. We demand winning football, attractive football is good, but at Rangers it should and always will be secondary. There is a buzz of excitement on here that hasn't been here in a long time. For me, there is also a sense of realism of how far back we have gone. The players we are being linked with may be good, but I would be lying to say that I'm thrilled with excitement at some of the names being mentioned. I will give MW my full support in the hope that he can deliver winning football. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
