Thermopylae 15,287 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 PLGs statement today made it pretty clear that he would never have signed Pressley because one loud mouth Scot spoiling the peace perfect peace in the dressing room is quite enough. Obviously in France a dressing room at half time is like a school room with all the players gathered around the manager like good little campers, however dire and insipid the first half performance has been.

Stardog 11 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 He'd just rather the players listened to him, rather than BF screaming and whinging at them about 1 misplaced pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueIsTheColour 35 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 He'd just rather the players listened to him, rather than BF screaming and whinging at them about 1 misplaced pass.I think it is rather more than 1 misplaced pass. Half a season of pathetic performances and shocking teamwork is more on the button. Anone can compain about that We all certainly have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half a season of pathetic performances and shocking teamwork is more on the button. Anone can compain about that We all certainly have. Exactly, I cant believe the attitude of some Rangers fansDo you not realise how pish we are? If we were top then yeah, but we arent even closeThis man has brought nothing but unrest to our clubEck may have got similar results but at least he worked with sensibility and dignityAs if the results arent bad enough, plg creates too much bad publicity.

Thermopylae 15,287 Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 He'd just rather the players listened to him, rather than BF screaming and whinging at them about 1 misplaced pass.I think PLG has to show some respect to the footballing culture he is entering. Of course there has to be ample opportunity for reasoned discussion between management and players, but we can't play football in this country with our feet in cold water, and if he wasn't so arrogant he could see that.

harry handsome 629 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 You have no idea how accurate you are with the original post. Having been in meetings with my previous French employers it is amazing to watch the french sit for hours and listen to the man in charge without uttering a word. They really frown on someone not paying respect to the senior man in the room. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermopylae 15,287 Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 I think there are echoes of Basil Boli's time at Ibrox here. When he said "they have no idea of what it takes to win" I suspect the lack of walking on eggshells around the manager is what he meant, and is probably why he didn't fulfill his full potential here.

Thermopylae 15,287 Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 I know, one of the biggest countries in Europe and only one European cup in 50 years to show for it (which Tapie bought ). At least Brian quickly retorted that he liked the Rangers dressing room, and of course he did fulfill his potential at Ibrox clappiez . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
