So if we have a short-list of candidates, all with different playing styles, that's a bad thing?

 Maybe the board want to interview each to see what they all say about their style/philosophy, what they need (financially) to get the team where we all want.

It tells us the board don't have a fucking clue in which direction the club is heading.

That portugese guy manages Wee Wlad Weiss. 

Get him in, tell him to bring the wee man back.

I'm no fan of the board but I really don't see what the problem is keeping an open mind to the options regardless who's in charge.  As a manager said yesterday, some of these muppets in blazers couldn't kick the covers off a bed.

Why is everyone so down on Gary Rowett? 

He's not Frank de Boer, but he's a very decent candidate. 

"He's another Warburton" appears to be based on nothing but the fact he manages in the English lower leagues.

"Not experienced enough" being spouted by those that want us to appoint the less-experienced Monk...

What has he accomplished that makes him a "very decent" candidate?

Fuck the dof just get the manager in and make sure it's the right appointment and caretaker managers a waste of time season is done now onwards upwards lets dae these fenian bastards

Did he not take Burton from league 2 into the Championship, albeit he got the  Birmingham manager job halfway through League 1 promotion season?

Pft. Cunts on here who were shouting for Frank de Boer. 

Rowetts the best of a very bad bunch.

Shouting about who they want, ideally.

Never seen anyone say he was coming. In fact most people usually said something like they want De Boer but we'll end up with McLeish or something.

None of that suggests to me that he should manage a side with goals to win League Tittles and play in Europe.

Yes because the only alternative to not wanting a lower league bampot are two of the greatest managers in history.

 

RangersMedia never fails to impress.

[Trooblue 1,973]

There's a dawning realisation about how far we have sunk when we are having to consider this alleged short list of candidates who are meant to be able to take us back to the top level domestically and have decent runs in Europe.  Not one of the names now in the frame inspires much confidence in a being able to do these things.

Well what manager in the list of names currently being linked suggest to you of League winning and European progression in their makeup, apart from McLeish

None.

[K.A.I 36,183]

If we're going down this route then for me McInnes or Wright - but even lowering our standards to that calibre of manager and they're not even on the alleged final 4  this club of ours.... 

[williamcarvel9 87]

None.

Thus the predicament we are in. A manager who has taken a League 2 side and built them to progress to Championship level in England is appealing to our board as someone who could maybe progress our team to fight for the League and get to latter stages in Europe

Exactly! Too late for a caretaker as they've taken that fucking long and as for a DOF and no doubt the staff he will require, a waste of money from wherever the fuck they will get it from. Would even a good one make an impact to overtake the scum on an already limited budget? I seriously doubt it. The little money we have would be far better spent and return greater value on attracting a decent manager.

McLeish cant get a job, says it all.

Then the board have literally gone insane.

After what we have experienced with MW appointing Rowett would be a massive gamble IMO. Why would we do that ffs ?

 Because they'll have a newly appointed director of football to take the heat off them, silly.

They mentioned that on STV News too - wait, does this mean the DOF doesn't get to pick the boss? what will he be doing exactly? or have they already confirmed the DOF and McLeish is his choice and they're confirming them both at the same time?

What a clusterfuck.

The mystery candidate better be good. Knowing our luck it could be anyone from Alex Rae to Glenn Roeder. 

If we're really lucky maybe even Joe Kinnear.

I would honestly lose faith in humanity if we appoint Alec McLeish.
