stuartmccallsfall 4 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 within us all now. Big Walter has brought a bit of optimism back to the mighty 'Gers. I cant help but imagine the state of our team if He had been left in charge for another six months:No Ferguson, no Buffel, no Adam, no Mcgregor, no Boyd and He also stated that we didnt need strengthening in the January transfer window. Aghhh.Good luck to Walter and Ally, lets get second place and see if we can challange Sellik next season.WATP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Steins Winner 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Yep i have to admit i wasnt bricking it as much in the last ten minutes,im sure under Garlic-breath wed have probably lost a late goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_RFC87 761 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 in hindsight, it was terrible under PLG. I had my PLG specs on and with fake hope he would turn it around.Good luck to the new managment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit (for the umpteenth time) when we signed him I was anticipating something completely excellent but it didnt take long for me to realise what a numpty he was.

Stardog 11 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Well it was Svensson who saved us a few times against Dunfermline. Not to mention the handball that would've been a goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumbria_blue 51 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Also a relief to see Hemdani back in his usual midfield role. He was never comfortable as a defender and Svensson was a nervous wreck alongside him. Thank god PLG has gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR 1,480 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 The biggest plus for me - and the subject of much debate among my mates - is that we have bona fide RANGERS men at the helm.We've tried the continental approach to managing our club and finding a european direction under the "direction" of Dick Advocaat and PLG and it doesnt work.Only Rangers men know what it means to play for us, only Rangers men know what the club means to us, and in my humble opinion only Rangers men should be groomed to manage our Club.Even tho Walt and Co are not setting the world alight with their signing targets at the moment, i trust his judgement more than i did with plg - purely because Walt has been here before, and that holds more with me than blind faith in a foreign coach with ideas.WE are the people Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a big man to say they were wrong something PLG has yet to recognise, but still chooses to blame others for his short comings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your points taken my friend - and its for those reasons that my mates and i had the debate.We wont know how good or bad souness wouldve been as he didnt stick around long enough and it was Walt who took us on.As for Jose and Arsene, thats fine for those respective clubs, but im not sure it would work hereWhat i was trying to say in my earlier post was if we could groom Rangers men to the calibre good enough to be Managers then that is the ideal solution for me. People like Ally, Durranty, Billy Davies i would love to see as future bosses rather than foreign coaches.But as you rightly pointed out, the right man should get the job....Im only dreaming of an ideal world B) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

imamannotabhoy1873 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I'm sure i read Souness in the paper maybe around a\year ago saying that because he played football on a Saturday when he was young he couldn't go to the games but that he went to Ibrox on midweek games on the train from Edinburgh and walked to the games with the Union Jack on his shoulder so i think he is a Rangers man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - if you have a successful rangers manager who's a rangers man too, it's surely just good fortune. He will likely be successful wherever he goes.
