British_Empire 9,648 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Don't like the guy, some of the things he done during his spell as a manager was unforgivable and sleekit. Talks some amount of pish at times even to this day when it comes to us. I'll never forgive him for his "we'll never forget who kicked us when we were down" speech, then a months later campaigned for Hearts to get the Ramsden's final at Tynecastle because they were either in administration or "needed the money" - that was a slap to the face for us all. All that said, he's easily the best striker I've ever seen at Rangers. Goal scoring record second-to-none and speaks for itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit different when you actually see his comments: "It baffles me to be honest with you. "If I'm the managing director of the sponsors, I would want it at the biggest venue. "If the Scottish Cup final can be held at celtic Park, I would have thought the Ramsdens could have been held at celtic Park. "With the increased opportunity for coverage and, indeed, revenue it would have been more sensible to me. "But they decided to take the game to Edinburgh and, in doing that, I would have given it to the club that need the money. "I would have given it to a team in administration and tried to help them out that way. "But, for whatever reason, the game is being played at Easter Road, which we are fine about. "We don't have a problem with it at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont get the anger about the gardening leave etc, only thing that annoys me is why didnt use youths in D3, could have saved the club fortune!! Not just the money but if he had played young players with 3 or 4 older professionals like Wallace and McCulloch the team could have grown together and I honestly believe that team would have been better prepared for the Championship season and the first season back in premiership than the teams we put on the field.

He did. Consistently. Ross Perry, Kal Naismith, Chris Hegarty, Lewis Macleod, Barrie McKay, Andy Little, Kyle Hutton, Robbie Crawford and Fraser Aird (there's even an argument that Seb Faure fits the bill there too) were all regulars under him. There are about another 10-15 who all made sporadic appearances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevemac 5,001 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Never got to see him as a player but well aware he was a legend. Think he had an impossible task as a manager but will always have a sour taste in my mouth over gardening leave penny shares and his salary in general. Being a shite manager I'm not bothered about, I think he generally composed himself well and put up with hell and dragged us to (almost) where we needed to be. Replaced (eventually) by far better. Its annoying because I think had I grew up watching him id love him more. Dont rate him much over his commentary etc. Seems a bit too cosy to sutton and Co personally. Always be respect for him, just think he couldve acted quite differently and he wouldn't have list any respect from anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
