You think Rangers sign Kent or Hagi without Gerrard? I can see this turning into a hate the gaffer thread. With hindsight I would prefer we didn't sign Kent for the price we did.

.Williamson. 81,469 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Gerrard without doubt has improved the team since arriving but I don't think he has it in him to win a league title Didn't have the mentality for it as a player and so far doesn't seem to have it as a manager. He will get another 3 or 4 years anyway so we'll see Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that stage the pressure of stopping 10 has disappeared obviously so the board will let him work away There's too many people in the support that will continue to worship him like a god too while spouting the usual "remember where we were" stuff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridgeIsBlue 66,498 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 If teams like Porto, Braga or Villarreal played in Scotland we'd pish the league. Drawn against Kilmarnock or Aberdeen in the EL qualifiers however and we don't make the group stages. Maddening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,256 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 More than happy for Gerrard to get this 3rd year. 3rd and final though if he doesnt deliver the league. I say that knowing he'll need to punch above his weight and likely spend less but buy better than the scum do. Plus obviously get more out the existing squad, and cut out mistakes and obvious failings. Cant change anything that's gone on, can only work on the here and now, and the future. The 6 we've moved on is a good start. I'm certain he's up for it and I'm pretty sure he's got it in him to deliver. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopping ten if the fenians as expected throw every penny at going for it, when they're already blowing us out of the water in transfer fees and wage bills, will arguably be one of the biggest managerial achievements in our history.

There's so-called supporters of Rangers who put being supportive and being all dignified and behind certain idividuals over the actual on the field success of the club. This shite started in the lower leagues when their hero Ally McCoist was in the dug out and it's a mentality that's snowballed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I was always giving him 3 years. It's a hard task starting with a poorer squad, spending less, but still being expected to beat the team with more valuable assets who pay more in salaries and transfer fees. And as harsh as it is, 3 years is fair imo, if he cant then he's been given fair chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That comes down to consistency in beating all opponents. To beat them, regardless who we beat or are beaten by, is punching above his week over the course of a season.
