The Mark Warburton Legacy - Unorganised, disjointed, lightweight


cushynumber

Recommended Posts

Thats the legacy that Mark Warburton and David Weir have left as they slink out of Scotland back to their homes down south:

  • A stubborn (or lazy) disregard for the opposition
  • Schoolboy tactics and team formation
  • A team that cant defend  - and when asked to do so are almost comic to watch
  • A forward line that cant score
  • A midfield that gets pushed off the ball at will and seem unable to put in a tackle of consequence.
  • A team that are an abject failure away from home
  • A team that were lucky to beat Morton at Ibrox

You didnt send the fans home happy Mark - you jumped before you were pushed as it  dawned on you that your playground formation and painting by numbers fantasy football had been found out by your own supporters and by run of the mill teams that were no more than organised. In fact, any decent team hammered you.

You always gave the impression you viewed Rangers as a stepping stone to bigger and better things - thats your prerogative. However, you have failed -  and this will be as good as it ever gets.

 

 

and David Weir - shame on you.

If he went to forest ,how many of our players do you think he would try to or like to take with him ?  

they are 17th in the league and just got hammered 5-1 an are 7 points off the regulation spots. Thats when you start to batten down the hatches and dig out points. Does that sound like a MW team?

I think if he went their right now there is the potential they could get relegated

I reckon he'd be in for Foderingham and maybe Barrie McKay but that's probably it. Although he does seem to have a blindspot for Kiernan so maybe he could take him off our hands...

notable increase in chance creation when we switched to the 442. If only he'd had the foresight to do it, many of those 1 points could have been 3's and we wouldn't be in this shitey situation. 

And to learn that he never studied the opposition - mind boggling

The more you hear, the more and more arrogant he sounds. 

The annoying thing is, the opposition would never have to study us either because it was the same every game. Sit in, hit us on the break and take advantage of set pieces. MW's at the press conferences giving it all the "we don't worry about what anyone else is doing, it's all about us" patter, meanwhile the opposition manager is rubbing his hands.

W&W are just feeding off each other with a goal of becoming wealthy. As the OP says, making money by numbers.

Rangers players, coaches and managers need to be there because they want to be the best. If we identify a manager with this mindset (we should concern ourselves less with big names) our Club will transform overnight.

Have said the same since about September

Tin hat on

To be honest, i would like to see how we perform with non 433 formations before offloading anyone. 

We are spread to thin in midfiekd and up front. 

Sounds like common sense to me - Warburton's reluctance to do the same despite the evidence in front of him was his undoing.

Still convinced too many of them are properly shit for a change of formation to do much good, but worth a try.

Never believed the hype on here about how impressive he spoke. Just came out with a few catch phrases when pumping Alloa and co. There was never any substance once things got tough around Nov - Dec 2015

aye. About then people started seeing it for what is was - rehearsed rhetoric that was the same every week. A bit like his teams

A very good description of the impression he gave me a lot of the time. Even worse than not studying an opposition at all is the probability that he never gave our own players any specific instructions or criticisms either.

Probably why he never got the job.
