Basing this purely on Wikipedia, he seems to have won the league in Australia and then in Japan, with not many failures on the CV. Granted, it's been at a shit level and the devil is probably in the detail (I remember thinking Pedro was a Mexican league winner but it turned out his team had finished 4th or something then won a playoff).

B1872 20,812 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Seen a video of him recently visiting someone in the hospital and he said “we are the people” as he was leaving. Good to know he still thinks fondly of us even though that cunt Murray shafted him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australia have a similar system. One of his title wins saw Melbourne Victory finish 4th then win the playoffs. Amato 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hardly different success after success. I don't think we are going to get someone who is proven at a high level with great success who isn't considered washed up. I think I would rather take a bit of a gamble on a manger who is currently successful and has a good style, than one who is washed up or who does not have a style that suits.

Personally, I think folk get far too hung up on ‘style’. The most important thing for any Rangers manager is winning. It wasn’t THAT long ago we had Messi (and quite a few others) whine that we played anti-football. I doubt we made a conscious decision to play anything other than the style of football that was most likely to get us the result on any given day. Do you think if we played lovely football but dropped points every third game that we’d be happy because we’re playing the ‘right’ style of football or would we be demanding results improved?

I think it's changed days since then. I think the way you get most points in Scotland is by attacking allot. If I thought we could appoint someone like Dyche and it would result in winning the league, I would be all over it. I think the game has moved on though and I don't think that style of manager will get more points in Scotland than someone more attacking. Modern football with its intense press and even the discipline shown by the likes of Ross County etc is hard to combat by just patiently trying to wait for an opening. Relentless direct attack seems to be the way to go. In my opinion anyway. Might be wrong. plymouthranger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing that indicates any fear of letting the fans and manager down within this squad. They are a pathetic bunch Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course one of the most famous strikers of the EPL era didn't kidnap and torture someone for days ffs.
