Barry: I'd rather win the league than Europa

[VanVeenRangers 2,536]

One of my favourite ever players but as a pundit he is miles off it. He was happy seeing the second goal in yesterday and obviously loves the Gers but I really dont understand his way of thinking sometimes. I cant see him saying he'd rather have won the league in 2008 than Manchester. 

--------------------

Barry Ferguson insists even Europa League glory wouldn't make up for the pain of losing the league title to celtic this season.

And the Rangers hero says he'd happily trade glory in Seville next month for a second Premiership crown on the bounce.

But Ferguson wasn't having it as he said: "I've got to go for the league. I'm just giving you my honest opinion, I want to win the league.

It's your bread and butter.

Even now, with four or five weeks to go, I would still want the league rather than the Europa League.

"It's over 38 games, it's a longer period. You go away to places where it's difficult, coming through the winter months.

"It's just my opinion, people might be different, but I'm just saying I would rather win the league championship."

 

[Prso's headband 35,459]

He fucks his own argument by saying it’s our bread and butter. Exactly, we have a 50/50 chance of winning the league every season.

By our Euro trophy count were a 1 in 150 chance… 

In the current financial climate of clubs in Europe, the Europa is what everyone surely wants to win, the bragging rights will be endless literally for decades to come. 
 

Nobody will think back to 2022 and think aw aye cellic won the league, it’ll be aw aye I was there when Rangers won the Europa league. 
 

Barry Ferguson, as usual, talks pish

How many games inc qualifiers will we have played to reach the Europa final? Is it 22?

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,793]

Mental take.

Didnae realise all our Europa fixtures were easy games at Ibrox in the summer.

[Jimfanciesthedude 24,552]

Fucking mongo statement 

[bluenoz 30,847]

Barry's missing being in the limelight and is trying to be relevant by playing the devil's advocate.

 

[sausagetrunks 6,022]

id take the eufa cup over a treble. the eufa cup is more prestigious and harder to win. 

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,793]

Actually can’t believe how moronic a take that is. Winning the Europa League is once in a lifetime stuff if it happens

 

 

[Creampuff 22,628]

Great footballer with mashed potato for brains.

[The Specky Forum Organiser 64,781]

Madness

[SIRB_72 4,000]

Aye he's talking pish here.

Without stating the obvious of wanting to win both I would gladly give up one league title to win the Europa League. Would be our and Scottish football's biggest achievement when you consider the huge gulf in financial resources in European football now.

[TheKingObv 10,646]

Fud

[McEwan's Lager 30,533]

He's a fucking idiot. Always has been.

Probably can't bear it that someone after him may captain Rangers to a European trophy when he didn't.

[Willis 20,919]

I want the champions league to be our bread and butter. And winning the Europa is the first step in making us constant serious contenders in Europe. I want to win both the league and Europa but if its between the two it has to be the Europa

[Clemdog 39,389]

Keep him away from Ibrox, please. 

[Rowley Birkin 8,696]

my reply is the same whenever he opens his mouth is 'shut up barry'

[hawkfalcons 2,303]

europa league obviously ffs , we have won the league 55 times, European trophy once,  its a no brainer plus you get automatic place in champions league

absolutely agree

[NI 903]

Barry, you need to stop talking at some point.

Barry Ferguson's entitled to his opinion, Barry Ferguson's a bawbag, I'm entitled to mine.
