Any proper manager will see what's he's about, no other club would a player under perform and demand more money and still play. Praying Gerrard takes him in January and we suffer 6 months of torture concededing goals and him have signed a pre contract with Norwich City of or some pish.

The Archer 1,410 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Lets be honest his mate is Purslow ,Its a deffo he has known about this for weeks. I wish him well however ask any non football people and they will tell you he is a sneaky cunt.55 was great and the European runs but sneaking out during the international break and away from his players says alot for his character. Good riddance to anyone like that at our club. barkie and kanjo 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Reynolds 1,329 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 27 minutes ago, beararse said: I never said he didn’t feel those emotions towards the man, it’s the comments he’s came out with about the club before and after Walter Smith’s passing. The interview, to my mind, reinforced the narrative that Gerrard was most definitely a ‘Rangers man’. Its the stuff either side of the interview that is the problem not the interview itself. When I watched the Smith interview I shed a tear, I felt for Gerrard. But I also thought ‘man, he really gets this club!’ He clearly fucking didn’t. So it’s not cuntish or below the belt, it’s my thoughts on how Gerrard has actively presented himself throughout his time with us. Would you class Souness, Laudrup and dare I say Gio as Rangers men? they all departed under pretty grey clouds really Gerrard hasn’t left in glory but I think it’s clear to see from his reaction at the training centre after winning the title the club meant a lot as did his relationships with Smith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers#1 5,543 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Think he’s made a mistake tbh could have left next year with a much better CV and more experience, hopefully we bring in someone that takes us that step further.

LewisWATP 305 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Gerrard brought me a day I’ll never forget when we lifted that trophy. So I thank him for that, he looks like a cunt to us the way he’s handled this though. im not going to dwell on it, I’m looking to the board now to make a critical decision as if it is the right one this league is far from over as I’ve seen some go on about. The appointment is critical however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbfounded on that one mate. Plenty of posters on here wouldn't of been too miffed had we signed Nibsbt tbf....probably not at the 4m that was being quoted but if he had been available for 1.5m not many at the time would have complained Ps I always thought Veerman was our number 1 target?

I didnt expect him to say "job sounds great aye, up for that" but it now plays back like an Oscar winning performance knowing what we know now. Maybe in the fullness of time it will just be a bit of naivety from a young manager trying to deflect a difficult/awkward question, and doing it poorly. Starting to calm down about it as long as we get a decent name through the door with (crucially) good backroom staff. We can't go back at all in that department. Spot on. At the end of the day hes done well, and this season we are all wondering when we will hit full speed. Maybe the next manager would be the answer to the CL money. To be honest im not too upset about it. I just hope with the new guy we hit the ground running. CoplandRoad83 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIRB_72 4,148 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 The timing is shite and I wish he could have hung on to the winter break at least but that's the way it goes. It's frustrating but we're Rangers - we'll get a new manager and we're in a good place as a club. What I will say is that Gerrard gave us standards again, he built our club up again from a pretty mediocre level. He gave us undoubtedly one of the best seasons that we will ever have and that I'll always be thankful. Just fucking atrocious timing and way to go about it. Suppose that's football now.

Last season was brilliant the way it panned out and given the lockdowns etc. watching Rangers was one of the only enjoyable things. Been a bit stale this year but still fancied us for the league. No idea who we will bring in. Quite like the idea of GVB or Jon Dahl Tommasen but that's it. Really critical we get this right and it needs to be done quickly given the games we have coming up. Tommasen can fuckoff . Guy came across like a total wank in the pressers against us . magic8ball 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as I am not happy with Gerrard right now. Souness has since proved he is definitely a Rangers man and has admitted he regretted what he did. Had he not evidently gave a fuck all these years since then I wouldn’t consider him to be a Rangers man. I’d say players are judged slightly differently. They have a finite time in their careers and when they leave (which is expected after 2/3/4 years), as annoying as it may be, it doesn’t derail the structure of the club . I wouldn’t say Laudrup is necessarily a Rangers man, in the grand sense. He’s a Rangers great from a playing perspective, but doesn’t come across as a ‘Rangers man’ IMO. Gio was youngish (23 I think when he joined) and on an upward trajectory, . You couldn’t take umbrage at him moving on. It was expected AND we made a healthy profit on him. Is he a Rangers man? No. Do I want him as Rangers manager? 100% yes. What Gerrard has done is effectively kiss the badge, declare his love, then fuck off at the first real opportunity that presented itself.
