BlueSuedeSambas 53,754 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 In terms of the captaincy what's the alternative? There isn't one player at the club who deserves it at the moment and I include Lee Wallace in that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Band of Brothers 10,303 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Although he was before my time, didn't Terry Butcher do just that?Butcher was England captain and it did not take him long to establish himself as Rangers captain as threw his head at everything and fought for the jersey so was easy to see why as he was a leader on the park.

JR 1,480 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Let's be serious, what influence? Bet 90% of the players will never have heard of him either. No disrespect but he's no exactly a Cambiasso to Leicester type situation or anyone that younger players would seriously look up to and respect, we can do better than thatThey don't have to know him to respect him. If he's the natural born leader he's reported to be, he'll establish that pretty quickly. Look, I'm not overly chuffed by this possible signing either, but I am trying to take a pragmatic view of it. I'm trying to second guess Warburton if he's bringing him in and there is logic in there, somewhere. If he signs, I'll back him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,526 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 That's a really good point, but, given we were bringing in a whole new layer of talent at that time, it was not unreasonable to appoint a captain, even if a newcomer, who'd have universal respect.I suppose it's inevitable now - apart from Miller & maybe Wallace, who's left that would spring to mind as captain material?To be fair, that's very similar to what's happening now.Given who is at the club just now, I think an incoming captain is inevitable and completely understandable.

West_Side 1,571 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Certainly unexpected, but the guy has a great track record at Stoke, Watford and Derby so I'm happy enough with this. A young team needs experienced characters, and I'm sure he'd add that experience. JR 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
