Negri's lovechild 13,983 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 1 hour ago, The Hammer127 said: It's effectively a no.3 position so you're not likely to get an experienced guy unless a failed one (a la Barry Ferguson) or an older one e.g. John Brown, Jimmy Nichol (I'd take either of them). Fair dos if Kenny Miller's to stay with the u20s - seems sensible. Neil McCann's got a good football brain and clearly knows what playing for the Gers is all about - fair enough for a no.3. Jimmy Nichol is a good shout but I'd be surprised if he is on the list. Looks like miller has been ruled out,just hoping its not Barry.

Popular Post Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted March 16, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2017 Well Miller is out and I would think Murty would be out as well. The way he was talking its someone that's been at the club. My shout would be McCann, and please god not Ferguson.

We Will Follow Rangers 12,919 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I know its hard enough getting the football media in this country to be objective about our club but when did we become so fucking needy that we're willing to pay a wage to someone just because they were actually positive about us? Give the job to the best qualified and experienced coach with the best possible track record. If looking for a left field suggestion what about Russell Latapy? decent reputation as a coach, knows Scottish football backward, knows the club, and spent 8 years of his playing career in Portugal. He played in the same Boavista team as Hélder Baptista. KWBear and TMB 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,772 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Maybe I'm reading this wrong but the impression I'm getting from this every time Pedro talks about it is that this Scottish assistant is being brought in more to pass on their overall knowledge on Scottish Football and their knowledge of the club rather than for what they can actually do on the training pitch in terms of setting up drills or exercises. If that's the case then I'm not sure why we didn't we just move Jim Stewart into that role rather than let him go. It seems odd that we we looking for somebody to fill a role that he - on paper at least - is pretty well qualified for. Could it be that Pedro wants a younger, more inexperienced coach who he can maybe teach or have an influence on by learning them his ways and methods rather than getting an older coach who is maybe more set in their own way and won't be able to adapt as well or easily?

Not sure if its just his English or if he really does mean like a PA who knows Rangers. He did mention in the initial interview with Rangers TV that he wanted to get someone who could bridge the gap but who he could also get to buy in to the philosophy. Now if you are only a lacky rather than a coach of any capacity then I doubt getting the philosophy would matter so I genuinely think its someone with coaching abilities.

ianferguson 2,619 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Would be disappointed if Ferguson got the job because he ain't the brightest. Can't see past Alex Rae, he ticks all the boxes imo. Experience of Managing ,playing and assisting and good talker. Massive bluenose and will be up to date with Scottish game. writingranger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.A.I 36,183 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Anyone but Barry Ferguson/Alex Rae/John Brown. Literally anyone but them. Even wee Stuart McCall or something I'd be fine with as a number 2. Trooblue and Negri's lovechild 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackrfc95 4,255 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I'm not sure it really matters who takes this position tbh, from the sound of it most of the coaching will be done by Pedro and his assistant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferris Bueller 1,569 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 This isn't a number 2 role as many keep saying so wouldn't be that bothered if Barry got it as he knows the club and whats expected of a Rangers player. Jackal 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
