But as you said it's not going to happen. We now need to find the next great Rangers manager. Potter CV is hugely impressive not just domestically but in europe as well. This season he's beaten teams like Galatasaray and Arsenal with a budget no where near as big as theirs. He should be on the radar alongside Clarke. He beat an Arsenal reserve team, let's be fair, and it means fuck all, because Arsenal are on their way to Lyon and they're not :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had another manager that did well in Europe but not domestically. Trouble is we cannot afford another stab in the dark then end up back where we started. The ability to understand Scottish football as well as talent is necessary unless we go for a safe pair of hands. Another PLG is not the way.

Malvern 11,329 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Not even bothering to listen to the Murty pressers now, they are meaningless and hold nothing of substance. I don't blame the man though, he got the shittiest situation in world football thrown at him because our board can't pull their finger out and do the right thing. We knew he was a sheep lead to the slaughter and it was only a matter of time before the fans turned on him. Where's dinky or the board taking the blame in all this? Yeah the board cannot set up the team, motivate the players before or during the match, can't make substitutions but they can sure as hell can make sure they have a man who can do these three basic things!

As much as I liked the guy his inability to handle scottish players was his downfall eg. BF. One major difference is potter is a British manager. He will have an understanding of Scottish/British football. He worked with a number of British footballers during his time in Sweden. He also has Billy Reid as his assistant. Reid is a diehard Rangers supporter and well aware of what the demands are at our club It's a very different situation to PLG. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrupsleftfoot 11,024 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Tedious as fuck to read stuff like "Clarke could pip us to third" as if it's a certainty or has already happened.

Reading there of potters achievements is pretty impressive and for me has to be up there for consideration. But again I, like you have said would have doubts about the expectation of winning every game. I know it won't happen but there's only one man who I believe and would trust to turn us around and that's Sir Walter Smith. Wont happen but like I said he's the only man I would have 100% faith in Let go of the apron strings and take the stabilizers off your bike too mate.

SPWF 8,289 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Murty is a nice guy, by all accounts, a good coach too, and well liked by the players, BUT; Hes’s completely and utterly failed the job interview. We’ve lost more games under him than under Pedro and the baldy snake. The board gambled on him as the heap option because he was popular with the squad and it’s backfired spectacularly. 35 Yard Dangerman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How exactly is he a bad shout? In my view he should be one of the first names on their hit list. Successful, British and has done it all with no money. Compare that to some peoples favourite FDB, sacked from his last 2 jobs and will want money to burn...For me he and MPH would be my picks. cd true bluenose and BlueKnight87 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,949 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 It’s not as easy as saying manager x has done that with club y so he could do this with club z. Potter has done an amazing job in Sweden but managing a club the size of ours is a totally different proposition entirely. Much like Jack Ross, he’s nowhere near ready or experienced enough to take on the job at a club of our size and with our expectations.

Of the 6 managers mentioned in this post I actually think De Boer would be the most underwhelming of the lot. MPH should get it IMO and if not him then I wouldn't be against going for Potter. Van Bronckhorst has been utter shite with Feyenoord this season. They're currently sitting 4th in that league, 23 points behind the leaders and only 3 clear of 5th place.

MPH stands out as much as anybody, Potter I’m not sure on in all honesty. Van Bronckhorst is mainly based on last season in fairness, never realised how bad this season was. 4th but clear of third LaudrupsPatrickBoots 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
