jamiebear 14 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Francky Dury at Zulte-Waregem in Belgium is someone who'd be a steal - done a great job there over 18 months and is the former technical director for the Belgian football association (I think they're doing quite well, recently...)

BlueboyG 5,267 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Frank De Boer would be my first choice , he has excellent pedigree , been around Europe and will be in the know in Europe etc, would attract top players too but unfortunately I doubt we could afford him or his targets so if it did happen I would be delighted with this board.

1NachoNovo 840 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 4 hours ago, K.A.I said: Why do people think we've no chance of getting Frank De Boer? ... I heard the same said about Advocaat nearly 20 years ago, Le Guen and even Smith coming back a second time 10 years ago. Before anyone says it I know it was different times and we weren't as skint but even still. I'm not saying he will defo be the new manager in the summer but don't understand why folk are quick to dismiss it given he said the other night he might be interested in the summer. I had a conversation with a guy in work today about this very subject. It might be wishful thinking on my part, but considering what King said about a long term plan in place and having to put in place an interim manager in the meantime, it certainly fits with the FDB in the summer thing. The only doubts I have is cash. No cash, no FDB. If King is willing to have a rummage down the back of the couch for FDB in the summer and big Eck takes over as DoF, then that makes perfect sense to me. Even if Murty stays in charge until the summer, I'd be happy with that also. Paul fucking Daniels couldn't turn around the squad we have, so we are basically relying on the players to man up for the rest of the season.

I think we need someone with greater pedigree than Murty to guarantee 2nd place - as the current crop of players are absolutely woeful. Thank god Warbs got Emerson Hyndman in - he's the ticket into the Europa League draw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He basically had to go with what he got. Let him put his own team together and see what happens. I think he at least deserves that opportunity.

Valance1690 3,934 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 From what I've seen of De Boer in management, does he not play a very similar formation/tactics to Warburton? While I understand that yes, he can get more of the players and will tactically be x10 the manager of Warburton, he's still going to have the majority of theach squad we have just now, who quite clearly don't suit that formation Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive gamble mate There's two huge steps Rangers need to climb in the next 6 months if we're to seriously stop 10 in a row. 1) Qualify for the Europa League draw. Now is not the time to experiment with an unknown and unfortunately I'm not convinced McLeish will accept a contract only until the summer. 2) Navigate 3 qualification rounds and pray we get a lucky draw in the final knock-out round. Rangers need the group stage revenue but remember we have no co-efficient. We won't be seeded, we could potentially draw Spurs or Sevilla... If the board are going to chase FDB into the summer or someone else then we really need an interim manager that knows exactly what he's doing ...

Unless Alnwick is a hidden gem lol In a perfect world only 2 or 3 players would survive in the first 11....but let's be honest, we're not going to be able to sign 8/9 players to replace them, not in 1 transfer window anyway Of the squad of 24 we have just now, at least 15 will be here next season, be shocked if it's any less Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
