so, doesnt mean he'd handle the pressure of managing us

He'd do a hell of a better job than Warburton that's for sure.

He was a success at the biggest club in Holland not some two bit mob down south.

Absolutely. There's plenty variables that make some managers successful at some teams and flops at others.

Personally, for Rangers I generally like the older type of manager - Smith for example but a Howard Wilkinson or Terry Venables would have been perfect too. Or Redknapp.

I want Frank De Boer. I appreciate he had a shite time at Inter Milan and was sacked a few months ago but actually watched some of their games and even though the results weren't up to scratch there's something in the team I noticed and liked - almost like the way some of the better German teams play with a physical presence and strong/hard in winning second balls and come away with it in midfield with space. Any team in Europe be it Champions League or even the Europa league who's gave Celtic problems have set up this way. It's something that caught my eye right away.

Couldn't speak a word of English and had no idea of what it meant to manage a club like Ronjers.

The reason I think we have to go mature is the unique pressure involved in managing our club, Warburton talked a good game but he was a weak character, hence a weak team, we need a Walter type, hard in the head and hard in discipline, who is kicking around of that ilk where the pressure of our club wont reduce them to blubbering wrecks? Warnock or similar would do for me until we hit less troubled waters.

Cardiff beat Leeds 2-0 away today. 71% possession to Leeds, fuck the stats, who gives a monkeys if you run 12km during a game and have 2/3 of the ball, score more than the other team is the only relevant stat that counts.

You could say the same for every single manager that's been here in all honesty.

No argument there (for the most part) .. not a fan of Warnock but he'd be an improvement on Warburton and is the older, no-nonsense type of experienced head that suits us.

The next permanent appointment is VIP, McCoist should never have been anywhere near the big chair, how the fuck Walter thought he was ready defies belief, he was shite, Warburton came in and won us over by his apparent attention to detail/work ethic/sports science approach allied to our  our slik pass and move sparkling football in the lower division.

Now the SPL and the odd good game apart we have been sussed and are piss easy to play against and nullify, Ba heid Warburton knows no different and we get mugged near every week.

Big decision coming from the board it must be got right, btw I was 100% behind them in appointing Warburton, harsh lesson learned there, big call.

but still 11/2 5/1 elsewhere?

[ZZed 4,510]

let's see who applies and chose the most experienced in difficult circumstances.

[Gillete 1,338]

Why are people wanting F De Boer?

 

he will have no cash to compete with Celtic .  At Ajax he had the pick of all the academy kids coming through Holland. What's he going to do with a group of Wigan and Watford rejects?

I agree, seemingly its not the way to go though, the club has to put the feelers out to see if the managers available, by doing tht you might miss some outstanding applicants, advertise the job iis the best way to go imo.

You will get a pile of shite but there may well be some surprises, 600-700 k a year is fuckin top money as well, they aint doing it on the breadline.

If we don't set it out for applicants then ----------Jim Duffy tin hat on

Hypothetical post here. But if Walter was to come in even for the remainder of the season. Would he want Ally as his number 2? How would that go down?

[A.T.G 10,773]

McInnes 4/6

Personally I reckon what it'd cost to get him out of Aberdeen could make that a non runner to be honest .
