Bristoe1872 2,494 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 More hand wringing shite. Every statement that comes out now from manager or players is fucking embarrassing for Rangers Football Club. And hearing Gerrard saying he needs a Connor Goldson earlier was final straw for me. He clearly isn't going to learn or change and must be replaced soon as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right it was always going to be a tough job for anyone. But to make rookie errors week after week when it's clearly to everyone and their granny that it ain't working is just very poor management skills. The kind of shit you see in sunday league because you only know one way to play. He will never cut it in this league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are backing him get him some support. Fuck me media management is hardly a dark art,though it seems alien t our club. Same with the team, put some distance between him and the players so its easier to make tough calls. His current crew don't seem to offer much. The alternative is to bite the bullet and part ways as this is damaging the brand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unheard of and absolutely pathetic actions of a Rangers manager. Struth, Wallace, Souness, Smith, Advocaat and McLeish would have never done anything the like of. What's the difference with them names and Gerrard? I wonder.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Good points.

Bannockbear 166 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I agree he gets the massive club, huge expectations, must win every game etc. But its clear now he does not know how to cope against the bread and butter (hammer throwers), 6 across the back and hope for a breakaway (or defensive error) opponents we meet in Spfl. If he doesn't make any kind of ground up over next few months (which he will get) then he may be sitting next to Rio and Hargreaves sooner than he thought.

No. There's a reason our most successful managers are Scottish Rangers fans. He was a captain of a big club. A club with as high expectations as us? I would disagree as when he was captain of that club they never demanded to win every game by any means necessary. The way he is acting now is still like a captain, not a manager. Does he get the club from maybe a captains point of view? Yes possibly but clearly not as a manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

esquire8 41,911 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Just now, tm91 said: Liverpool fans are plenty demanding. But for them winning a game of football is just winning a game of football - for us it's part of a larger cultural divide where we fucking despise them and everything they stand for and vice versa. There is nothing even remotely close to that in English football and I think we underestimate just how difficult it is for outsiders to properly grasp the unique dynamics of Scottish football and what Rangers (and the Orcs) represent. To be perfectly frank, I don't think it's possible for any manager not familiar with Scottish football to be able to get the club from a manager's perspective. To manage Rangers you need to be aware you are fronting an institution that people both fanatically love and fucking despise, and part of your job involves a siege mentality and the view that success is 'at all costs' not just because winning football games is nice but because we cannot, under any circumstances, allow *them* to win.
