Tommy Wright on Rangers Manager position

[Smile 26,610]

St Johnstone manager Tommy Wright has indicated he would be interested in the Rangers job but insists such a scenario is "all hypothetical".

Wright, 53, has achieved three successive top-six finishes in the Premiership with Saints and led them to Scottish Cup glory in 2014.

Rangers parted company with former boss Mark Warburton earlier this month.

"I don't think there's anybody in a job or out of a job that wouldn't want to take that call," said Wright.

And he added that, assuming Rangers had gone through St Johnstone to make contact with him, "Yeah I would take the call because it's a big club but it's all hypothetical.

"That call hasn't happened as from other clubs it hasn't happened so I'm still happy here."

Absolutely not. No. Never.

[LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510]

NEVER.

[CoatbridgeBear 7,113]

Basically begging for it

[CoopsLaud 4,186]

Had to say yes to this 1

3 top 6 finishes and a SC with a team like sj is not a shabby cv

 

[Vanoli 4,625]

I'd rather him than McInnes or the rest of the shite and or washed up Scottish managers we've been linked with, but we simply have to aim higher. 

[6superbarry6 14,159]

Not a fucking chance just fuck off Tommy 

[Danny Morrison 64]

No.

[Smile 26,610]

You have to ask is he the best we are going to get with a board unwilling to come up with any real Transfer funds.

We are being Run just now by an under 20's coach who is utterly clueless.

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,788]

No chance. I'd actually be furious if he ended up with the job.

Why are some people in the support so open to either Wright or McInnes getting the job but are so against the appointment of McLeish when McLeish has more experienced at a higher level and has won more than either of them ever will.

[jim beam 2,188]

He can fuck off.

[JukeBoxJohn 3,060]

I'm in the minority here and would be relatively pleased with him but I can understand why others don't want him near us.

He's used to working on a small budget and getting the most out of a limited group of players and his side are often hard to beat. We all know his budget here will be shite under this board (in comparison to the scum) and realistically most of the current squad will still be here next season and a blind man can see they're limited to say the very least. Add to that a few decent results in Europe with St Johnstone, a Scottish Cup win and always pushing for the top 4 in the league.

I genuinely think he'd surprise a lot of people and I think we really need to go back to basics with a more old-school approach. It's a results industry at the end of the day. He isn't a big name many are craving though but he's a realistic target at the end of the day.

Look forward to selling 20k season tickets if this was the appointment I'm actually worried we must've had contact for him to come out and say this

Big Tommy's staunch as fuck, fact! Thought that was the main thing for you, and you'd be creaming yourself over him, you being a super Prod wouldn't have a Catholic near the place no matter how good they were, and all that ...

[The Godfather 71,893]

Appoint a mid table manager then we accept being a mid table side. 

Folk will mention McLeish when we got him but back then he was younger and was up and coming. Tommy Wright is the opposite

Not to hat I think weight or mcinnes are the best for Rangers but never saw eck win any trophies before he got the Rangers job.  And tbh he got lucky in the first year and half with having deboer arveladze etc

[Bad Robot 21,150]

If we are totally skint for the foreseeable future then yes but if we do access cash to put up a team capable of winning our flag back then no as I want a name who will command respect all over the world of football.

[Ben10 2,272]

Yes for me. 

[BlueRD 138]

He's right in what he says, loads of managers would like the job. Doesn't make him good enough tho' but I'd take him before McInnes, Davies or Mcleish.

[Guest Lloyd72]

I think he's a good manager, just not the quality we need right now but if he took us till the end of the season I'd be fine with that.

Exactly 54 year old and done fuck all in the game can't believe some would accept this 

[DeanMK 4,670]

It's illogical to think Tommy Wright would be a contender. We'd have to pay compensation for him which is pointless considering a better manager (IMO) in Alex McLeish is available right now for nothing. 

[TEFTONG 60,108]

Nothing personal against Tommy Wright whatsoever but if he is the choice we end up with we then have the proof that this Board are not going speculate to accumulate in anyway shape or form..That saddens me..So I had to go for NO..
