Kinda looks like Pedro then......... thought this plg stuff was a pisstake now not sure ? it's the blue room their in - where they have paintings of the managers on the wall. If you guys haven't then I would recommend doing the tour of Ibrox. Well worth it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Biggest team in Scotland ?? That's his hotel lobby getting staked out as we speak. Well he talks like he knows what he's doing. Local assistant would be Murty for me he deserves a step up the way he has handled the team. Although I did like the idea of McCann. Its is PLG all the managers of Rangers are painted on the walls of The Blue Room I'm sure Warburton will be going up as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,348 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I'm more excited about him than MW tbh. Seems to thrive on intimidation, loves a passionate club, has said he wants dominance in attack OR organisation and has watched our past 5 games for the past couple of weeks. He needs to be backed or he's pissing in the wind Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltire266 502 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I`m sure he will have a pretty good idea already which players are shit and which ones he can mould into something. Also he will have already made moves to players about following him in the door during the transfer time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
offminorthreat 1,463 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Need to back this guy. Talking a big game. Can tell he loves a wee scrap and dominating the fuck out of teams. Biggest club in Scotland fucking right ye are Pedro, this guy isn't going to be intimidated. McCann for local assistant is a great shout. Also love that he wants to win the cup, that's what we need. Celtic are fucking rubbish as demonstrated yesterday we can easily do them in a cup game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 His full interview today (13/3) on the Rangers website. I though it was very impressive. He sounds like an experienced football coach, he chooses his words like an experienced football coach, he talks from experience as a football coach, the way he speaks makes me think this guy knows how to lead and how to direct, he imparts a feeling that he has a plan and a way of working and knows how to go about implementing it, he studies the opposition (wow - now there's a refreshing change), and he imparts a confidence that he knows he needs to get a winning team - eyes focussed on winning the SC and on 2nd this season. Good stuff I thought. Interesting he didn't find the atmosphere yesterday intimidating (at least that's what I think he said). Its the eyes though. And the body language that go with the eyes. Sure he looks up and around and away when he's thinking but when he's making his points his eye contact is eye to eye. There looks to be a bit of steel in this fella and a bit of fire as well. He's clear he gets to pick is Scottish assistant from a short list the Club will draw up. And he seems to have arrived with his own coaching team - they know how he works so should be able to get up and running with the squad quickly. Sounds to me like it will be a very positive first meeting between the players, staff and Pedro and his team this morning. It may be the first rush of optimism, and hopefully not misplaced, but my first impression having heard and seen his interview is this guy is a proper football manager with a real passion for winning and someone who will be taking no shit from anyone.

TMB 14,167 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I thought his interview was impressive. Loved what he said bout mental fitness and a winning mentality. Also, spoke about dominating the game from moment to moment if we're defending or attacking. Sounds like he understands the need to adapt rather than stubbornly fixate on one tactic. These are all good soundbites but we need to remember that McCoist and Warburton had good soundbites as well. I can only hope the entire club gets behind this man and the board give him as much money as they can to rebuild over the summer. This is the manager now so let's believe in him and hope to fuck this is not another false dawn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negri's lovechild 13,901 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Its good to hear the positivity coming from him. None of this "getting to the final would be good" crap. Let's win the cup,and get into second place. Its the best he can do this season,and re focus for next year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobham 1,569 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Talks well. I'm honestly very positive about this guy, don't think he'll take any shite and the players arses will be kicked when not pulling their weight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some posters on another forum were drooling at the phrase. I guess it sounded oh so continental and progressive. These interviews can be interesting to watch but ultimately mean fuck all. There is probably little correlation between how well a manager speaks in front of a tv camera and how good he is at actual football management.

Dado'sMulls 2,610 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Talks a good game anyway! Liked the bit about scouting his opponents home and away to see if they play differently, that's a damn sight more prep work than MW did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRW. 5,631 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Theres no doubt PLG/Warburton had good ideas and some success but the reason they were failures comes down to their mentality, attitude and desire. They were found severely lacking in they areas whereas guys like Smith, Souness and Wallace had plenty of it. From his interviews and articles on him I think Pedro has what it takes to be Rangers manager. Lets just hope he is a good manager too. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRW. 5,631 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Rangers snapchat following him about for the day I think. Got videos up of him meeting Murty, Jimmy Bell, and some of the staff around Auchenhowie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with Smith/Souness/Wallace/Advocaat/McLeish these guys were respected by the players, looked upto by them, then the players buy into their wining attitude and gave them their all. Weren't shy to boot players up the arse and discipline them, but respectful about it. Warburton and le Guen didn't have that in them. Especially when le Guen banned Bardsley from training after a tackle, the respect probably went from the players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 1,114 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Words can fuel cautious optimism but we'll need to wait and see what Actions can help justify it. He needs time, money to help summer recruitment and and our patience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
