KingKirk 25,605 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Gerrard needs to be on the phone to the board and DOF and basically it's ultimatum time. He must be given substantially funds to fix our issues or be allowed to leave. Granted he signed most of these players but we don't have a leader amongst them. The Rangers Jersey is to heavy for most of them clearly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board sanctioned 7 million on one player for him and said player now cant kick his own fucking arse. If I were Dave King and I got that call I'd have him in first thing tomorrow morning to explain what the fuck has happened to the money I'd already put in.

It will be riddled with internal politics, personality clashes, jealousy, and every other short comings worth mentioning. And like every other workplace, performance and output suffers as a result. More so in this day and age where most of these highly overpaid cunts who literally think that the world must adore them, crazy egos without actually achieving fuck all, and to fragile to receive criticism or the old hairdryer treatment it’s probably next to impossible to keep a squad onside. The days of having a squad that would have given their last ounce on the park for both the club and their teammates has sadly long gone. I actually hate what football has become.

Ivybank 4,575 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 The worse thing about tonight was his tactics ,how did he think we were going to win?

The fact we've only managed 1 final in 4 attempts isn't good enough. Especially when it's the same kind of teams knocking us out. The European run has been great and it gave us a lot of hope. However it's a different environment. It suits our squad playing more technical sides who come out and play. In our league but 9 times out of 10 you need to battle. Your facing hammer throwers and men behind the ball. This is where our side is lacking. When sides get physical (certainly helped by officials who let them away with it ) they go into hiding. If Gerrard stays or a new manager comes in. That's got to be the first thing addressed. Add players with steel who can get stuck in when the pressure is on. Yes all good points, I just think it is now past the point of no return and even if he did stay it would only put it off for a short time. The league is gone so that is not a problem now for who ever took over as caretaker and the two games in Europe would probably see these players raise their game as usual. Certainly not what I wanted to happen but I cannot see it getting better unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryStevens02 148 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 A lot of people are hurting, rightly so, as Ally would say, but a sense of perspective is required. I first went to Ibrox when John Greig was the manager and those days weren’t exactly glorious. Then Jock Wallace returned and you could still turn up on a Saturday, pay in at the Half empty Copeland Rd and get gubbed by Aberdeen or Dundee Utd. Souness was a game changer , but Souness had many advantages over a modern Rangers manager. Income was about fans, not TV, there was no Sky money in those days. English clubs banned from Europe, and we sign Butcher, Woods, Roberts, Stevens and Steven and er.......Colin West .... Then Walter Smith , Gascoigne , Laudrup, Thern, Hateley, McCoist, MIKHAILICHENKO,etc etc, never made the CL last 16 once, often failed to qualify at all. Domestic success yes , but that was no longer good enough. Advocaat , 5million players became the norm, not all successful, Christian Nerlinger , Bert Konterman anyone? No one disputes the current team isn’t good enough, but we’re shopping at Poundland these days compared to what went before. I’m sure if SG could sign half the England team we wouldn’t be losing to teams like Hearts but he’s not doing that anytime soon. The frustration is that on their day this team have shown they can perform but the mentality just isn’t there to keep doing it in the middle of winter, on a shite surface in the pissing rain.

Imodium 410 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 It’s pure and simple lack of motivation domestically. Players thinking they are better than the opposition and not up for a battle.

I think part of the problem that every manager we have had since we came back up have had is that they have tried to overcomplicate it too much. Battle for the first ball, win the second ball, have a back four that works well as a unit, a physical presence in midfield and move the ball from middle to front quickly. Its really not that hard but you can guarantee that they aren’t teaching that at all these UEFA Coaching courses because it’s not sophisticated enough.
