Jimmy Nicholl

[KeyserSoze 14,641]

Why is he here?  I bet it's because he has a NI accent and it sounds staunch about the place......

seriously - ZERO impact in the booting baws department..... 

[.Williamson. 83,067]

Hard to know really 

[Colin Traive 22,972]

Disappointed in the lack of impact. Indeed there is a case for saying we’ve gone backwards 

[PRW. 5,631]

Suprised it took this long.

Usually we get a thread about every single person at the club after a defeat.

Make a Steve Harvey one next, daft analyst obviously doing it aw wrong.

so why is he here?

[NetherburnBear 173]

I was delighted when he joined, someone with a bit of guile who's been here and done it knows what's needed someone who wouldn't take fools gladly, sadly I have not seen any of that.

Graeme Murty: Rangers' defeat to celtic is my lowest moment in football and I'm sorry

GRAEME Murty last night apologised to Rangers supporters after his side was thrashed 4-0 by celtic in the William Hill Scottish Cup semi-final and admitted the humiliating defeat was his lowest moment in football.

“It’s a lonely place standing on the sidelines when that’s going on. I don’t think words are enough to convey how I’m feeling right now.”

Interesting.

[LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,540]

He wasn't brought in to boot anyone's baws that was just an assumption made by people on here.

He does seem like another pointless "Rangers man" appointment though.

[K.A.I 36,183]

This is just my gut feeling and not based on anything I know or rumours I've heard but I think something's not right with him and Murty - I think they have different ideas and I also think Jimmy Nicoll was thrust onto Murty, a decision made from above without his backing or consent so the relationship isn't what it should be.

I'm not saying they hate each other or don't like each other but something seems a wee bit off. 

Murty seems to like JJ for some reason but I'm struggling to see what he brings to the table.

Nothing interesting about it. He's not the first or last manager to say that.

The manager gets the blame for team selection, tactics and results not the rest of his staff. That's why it's a lonely place for him.

[The Ibrox Derry 8,941]

In the last 10 games v celtic how many goals have we scored? Many conceded?

[CoopsLaud 4,186]

Was wondering yesterday what his input is. Doesnt seem to be much.

You should of made this thread when we were winning, be taken a bit more serious.

Can't remember which home game it was but Nicholl was shouting something to Murty from the dug out only for Murty to start pointing at himself asif to say "I'm the boss". Definately some differing opinions going on.

I wish he'd come up and see me, make me smile. (Hey it's close!)

[Helicopter Sundae 6,093]

It occurred to me myself that we have indeed regressed since he was appointed. Don't know the before and after results, but his arrival has coincided with absolutely fuck all improvement.

Ones a proddie and one isn’t. 

[Negri's lovechild 14,284]

Joking aside, it's a bit daft to point fingers just at Nicholl. The issue is a whole lot bigger than that. There's an apathy and an attitude that runs right through the club, where they actually believe that we are progressing and these are just bumps along the road. 

We need cleansing (again) from top to bottom.

Agreed. I don't think we can scapegoat Nicholl the problems is a lot, lot bigger than a ex-Rangers player and fan standing in as a number 2 until the end of the season. He's literally just there to help implement whatever Murty's methods are in all honesty.

This 100%

Yeah, and guide him as far as I know. An experienced hand. Wether Murty decides to listen to that advice is another matter entirely, and that could be whats causing the apparent friction between them.

don't think anyone is pointing a finger just at him, but it's a decent question to ask is it not? considering he's not really done much at a management level and we seem to be a bit lost at the moment - what does he bring to the table?

[Jack The Flipper 5,936]

I doubt he and Murty get on, and I doubt it was Murty's decision to bring him onboard.

I can imagine him being bypassed and unused.

Much rather have him in charge than Murty.

This.

The threads about lacking passion, fight etc & then ones targeting specific individuals in the team are chronic. 

We have a far, far bigger problem that is much deeper than the starting 11.
