When you actually think about the players we brought in and the money spent in the first season, he did an incredible job. Getting a bunch of kids to win the league against a settled Hibs side & cope with pressure of playing at Ibrox was impressive. But he monumentally fucked up the signings once McParland came in. I get his point on the taigs having a record breaking season and he was unfortunate in that regard, but we went backwards that year when we should’ve went forward. Would he have done better than Pedro with that money, absolutely. Would we be miles ahead of where we are now? Not so sure Smile 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't been beaten by more than a single goal and drew silly games where we've either conceded last minute goals or failed to break down 11 men behind the ball, it's hardly shocking as you put it.

Drawing at home with st johnstone who were closer to scoring isnt shocking, beating killie once in 4 attempts isnt shocking Your defending of gerrard is strong i get that, but blind faith wont change the fact he's had a bigger budget than any manager since admin and we are one loss away from our season being over before March, this is the worst tarrier team since deila and we are 8 points behind them, I hope he succeeds, i dont want him sacked, but i wont turn a blind eye to his failings Hutton2008 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yawn. Who said start from scratch, yes we have made improvements, id fucking hope so given he's spent 6million on our defence (yet relies on a loan signing and a warburton signing to play in his defence) Spent a good chunk of wages on the rest of the squad as well, wages no other manager has had since admin Hutton2008 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Warburton resigned; walked away along with Davie Weir. They say differently but the official Rangers conclusion was - as I recall it - that the pair of them resigned. What they achieved when they were at Rangers is naturally a matter of opinion. But however much of an airbrushing of history Warburton attempts or however much success he had / didn't have he is, imo, history best left firmly behind us. There is no profit in what if's and arguably his opinion on Rangers these days carries little to zero credibility. He walked away before he was sacked but sacking was his destiny if he hadn't walked away. Having now invested in SG as manager - an appointment I suspect many top clubs throughout Britain and maybe even Europe would have bitten hands off to have made - we have him. He needs to be backed to learn from his mistakes and backed with enough money to build a title-winning side. Warburton, imo, could never have got anywhere near building a title winning side. He'd have ended up with players squabbling with each other (…..oh wait....) and relying on softly softly hug-a-lot group therapy after losing games to somehow find a way for the 'we're all in this together' approach to somehow magically work (…..oh wait even more...…..). He's best left forgotten. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
