Prso's headband 36,008 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Mixture of under pressure and a burning desire to put things right, certainly not deluded. That's what makes or breaks a Rangers manager. You either crumble under the pressure or the desire you show rubs off on the players and the pressure eases a little. It's imperative we win our next two and go out and showcase what were good at. I hope he turns it around but if this form continues I'd be surprised if he seen christmas.

Dlydon81 245 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I feel he is playing up to the 'no one likes us' mantra to deflect a bit from discussion on how poor we were. The stats don't lie and whether 3-1 or 5-1 - we were well and truly beaten. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes now under scrutiny like never before nor will he ever likely face it again. Let's hope he's correct Of course he's under pressure, he needs to go right now and have a word with Mr King, where is the investment he promised?

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Regarding MW's quote that it was not a 5-1 game. Errrr - it was. However much he and the coaching staff and the squad might like to paint it to be something less than 5-1 the record will show it was 5-1. Was it the worst OF result for us for 16 years? If so then its significance is more than the scoreline, it becomes a landmark loss. That is not good enough. As he realises full well. Sure he may tale some solace in the ifs and buts and maybes and what ifs that happened in the game. But that is cold comfort when measured against the stark reality of 5-1 and the even starker reality that it could have been worse. So he's read the papers and drank in the poisoned words. He knows the line the media are taking and is angrily promising they will be made to eat their words. Fighting talk it seems. Yet again we are told things need to be put right - and now we have 'quickly' added in to the statement. A sense of urgency at last eh. The thing is he is still talking about basic errors being made and about not going into games on the front foot from the start and about being bolder and about better decision taking and so on. In reality this is the same old same old message. He clearly has the analysis. He clearly knows what needs to be done. The problem for MW is he is not demonstrating he is able to get the squad to deliver it. Either they just can't do what he wants them to do well enough and often enough - which is how it appears to me. Or he is not capable of exercising enough command authority over a squad to get them into the way the need to play. Or a mix of both. The result is games where the message is the same game after game but insufficient evidence of material improvement measured by winning games. Playing exhibition football in friendly games is one thing, as is playing that sort of stuff against lower division teams in the league cup. Its a very different matter when it comes to getting 3 points in a league game - as he has found out already this season He's right when he says it needs to be turned round quickly. If its not, then self imposed pressure combined with external pressure from the Support and - yes - the media too, may hasten the need for the Club to do things differently to achieve whatever it is that King would regard as success this season (presumably - and based on his relatively recent statements - at least a European place. That in itself is a low target for the tradition of Rangers even if King and MW want to ultimately try to define this season as a transitional one His remarks about media comments should make for a lively press conference for the next few games. No more Mr Diplomatic Nice Guy perhaps? . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dietspam 733 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I think Warburton needs our support now more than ever. It's clear he and the team have never experienced this kind of pressure and are unlikely to ever experience it anywhere else. A full backing is required for Saturday to show that we have faith in the manager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a horrific start to the season. I also see no reason to feel optimistic because we are playing rank rotten football and have been since the cup semi last season.

I told the players that I was warned not to read the papers, but I thought no, I will read the papers, and you see some of the poisonous, mischievous dialogue that is written, and that just burns in your memory and that is something we will use. "We need to turn it round and we will turn it around quickly, and while I won’t use the exact words I used with the players, we will make sure the people who are writing what they are writing right now come to eat those words." Full interview on RTV with the basics covered on the official site. MW also believes we didn't deserve to lose 5-1.http://rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/mark-wasnt-5-1-game/ Not deluded at all. Excellent interview. Glad he's sounding pissed off for once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
