The Dude 20,026 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Just now, Siwel said: Haven’t seen this info published anywhere except this post any proof of that? It was widely reported at the time. The club's statement appointing his as manager - a few months after he was appointed interim manager - alludes to it. As U20s head coach he is on a standard employment contract with no defined expiry - as with all the other Academy coaches, when he was appointed manager on December 22nd he signed a fixed-term contract until the end of the campaign. The 20s role was never permanently filled - with one eye on Murty returning to it if he wasn't given a new long-term deal as manager as he's very highly thought of by Mulholland.

The mans got more sense than I gave him credit for then. He has learned already that folk will put on their Rangers hating specs for even the most obvious decisions.

markem 7,287 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 18 minutes ago, The Dude said: No, because it was Ryan Jack's quote not Murty's. The very bit that was missed, imo at least, shows that Jack disagreed with the part of the OP that was in bold and directly making reference to the way Murty handled it at the time and his comments. Correct me if I'm wrong here but what you're saying is that we constantly piss and moan about wanting 'balance' - as long as that balance is skewed towards Rangers? I'm honestly not sure if you are at the wind up at times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let me get this straight. You're saying the people work with him day in day out have a better opinion of him than those who don't, yet you're throwing Gerrard's name in their to add more weight to your argument even though he's never worked with him. Standard stuff from yourself. Anything to have a different opinion from the majority. Sad really. markem and BridgeIsBlue 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Shaw 30,535 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 People at the club have made plenty of bad decisions, Allen in particular has had a few howlers, giving murty his role back with the unders was another one.

ForeverAndEver 71,566 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Murty should have been kept on as manager, we as fans should have had patience as he is a youth coach, and we were harsh on him.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
