Rum Ham 2,063 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Does anyone watch the Belgian League, or is all this talk of MPH purely based on stats? Genuinely want to know how the guy sets his teams up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaka 1,721 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I'd give it to MPH purely on his reputation for making teams punch way above their weight, but I just hope the board don't feel they have to pick only from British managers and we end up with a "big" name who failed down south.

Exactly and most British managers we've been linked with have no history of winning titles or cups, yet we assume that they'll suddenly learn this when they start managing us..... Would rather have a successful foreign manager and that doesn't mean winning a cup in Mexico..... ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFC RYAN 2,967 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 A know who a would rather have out the 2 but have a feeling it won’t be the one a want but the state we are in would take either. This is a board who picked a manager that hadn’t done anything in Europe, won a cup in Mexico and was managing in Qatar so who knows what they are thinking if they are thinking. 35 Yard Dangerman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only hope I have is that Mark Allen is picking the guy this time. Hopefully Park has no say in it whatsoever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think he's under contract but there's meant to be some sort of deal where if he joint another team before the agreed date then the new team would have to pay a couple of bob. Footballs mad that way now, what happened to an old fashioned straight forward 3 year deal Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Steve Clarke should still be in contention for the Rangers job as far as I'm concerned. Steve Clarke: Played 23. Secured 46pts. A GD of +12. Graham Murty: Played 22. Secured 41pts. A GD of +16 I want a pragmatic manager who will make us difficult to beat and bring physicality to the team. Clarke knows British football, and Scottish football, I think he's low risk and probably a lot less expensive than the likes of FDB.

This is probably a view shared by the vast majority of our fans. I wouldn't be against adding physicality, but crucially if it's combined with ability, like they did with Wanyama or Van Dijk and a few others. I don't see the need for a club with our resources to resort to a dour defensive approach to winning games though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Walter took over for his second spell his first priority was to make us difficult to beat again. It's not free flowing attacking football by any means but we didn't lose a lot of goals and we won a lot more games. Walter's first full season in charge after he came back (2008/09) we conceded 28 goals in 38 games. Under Murty we've conceded 26 goals in 22 league games and that's not acceptable by any means. My main concern with guys like FdB and MPH is that they don't have a lot of managerial experience in Britain. They could be footballing purists who want to play the 4-3-3 while filling our team with technical players that will keep getting outfought and outmuscled. We need guys who are physical and love to get stuck in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEPPS BOY 75,073 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Always thought it’d be GVB or FDB but watching that today had me thinking Neil Warnock would be our best bet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
