Until that happens we just need to enjoy the great football he's got us playing and reap the rewards that comes with it. He'd be a mug to say he's with us long term Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a professional man, personally I don't think he'll allow himself to get too hooked on us because it would hinder his professionalism. The thing that speaks volumes as well is that his family haven't relocated up north. I'm not being down, I would rather protect myself from disappointment down the line than jump in and celebrate his long stay only to find out he's leaving soon. BUT, big Davie is his trusty assistant and there's only one club he wants to be at. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commitment will only come through a new deal. Should sit both down and talk a new deal now Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ritchieshearercaldow 22,269 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I honestly think he'll stay for another few season, his reputation would rise sharply if he gets us to 55 within that time scale. Which he will Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben10 2,294 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 He's never leaving. Ever. By chance or celestial design we have emerged from the rubble, crawled up the ladder that cost a man his legend status and evolved into the best Rangers team I have ever seen. Talk about 'project'. He belongs with us and we belong with him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man oozes integrity and isn't going to sit and make promises he knows he might not be able to keep down the road. Only time will tell though, he knows he's started something special here and he's making good of the blank canvas he was given, I can't see him wanting to leave a job half done.

ger4life_1872 29,891 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I dont worry about him leaving anytime soon and i also think by the time he is going the whole club will be changed and the next manager will be somebody with the same outlook/style etc rather than adapting our style too suit each manager Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For him to leave this summer or next it will need to be a club in Europe or at least challenging for it. I don't see how he would leave a club this size and accept mid table mediocrity in the epl sure its a better league but that only goes so far Imo.

AlBear. 8,499 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I have no doubt he'll honour his current contract. Beyond that depends on many factors. See how he feels after we lift 55. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I listened to him I didn't immediately think "oh oh" that didn't sound good. I thought he gave a professional reply to a leading question.

bluenosebrad 452 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I personally think hes started something here and will stay longer than most think, he is only 3/4 years into his management career and he could do something special with us unless an Arsenal or club of that size, it will take something special to get him to leave.

That's all it is is. We all learn, listen, see, interpret things differently and we all have differing opinions. I genuinely let those quotes about his future pass me by on first listening as I didn't think anything of it but after seeing a few posts on here I started to doubt what I thought I just heard. I therefore rewound it and his initially response is yes or yeah. He didn't specifically state word for word he'd be here forever, and i'm not naive enough to think he will be, but I don't think any player or manager ever would. Regardless, his stock will continually rise and rise, the speculation will grow and grow so as others have said we just need to cherish every last moment he has with us. If he ever does go, then we can cry ourselves to sleep but in the meantime let's just fucking embrace all the positivity! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
