Thermopylae 15,287 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I'm wondering if Gordon Smith would rather have appointed Souness to the Scotland job but given his own Ibrox connections he just didn't feel that he could be part of such a decision Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kplfishtank 4,667 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 maybe a good point that but the mopes hate the sfa/gordon smith anyway so even if they appointed an ex celt they would still moan cause its a national pastime for them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca 8 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 After Souness should we opt for Advocaat or Le Guen? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gid 46 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I'm not sure about Souness .. his record is pretty sub-standard since leaving Ibrox where he was pretty much given an open cheque-book compared to spending elsewhere around that time. Was able to sign the England goalkeeper and captain for a start ... funny how times change. Would never take an England keeper just now but would have no chance of having an England captain at Ibrox.

saintbob1969 1,509 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 The National team is a pointless distraction at best, a way of getting our best players injured at worst, I no longer invest any time or worry getting myself worked up over it. Rangers are my team, they are my Scotland, unlike the Oirish fuds across the city. The SFA do us no favours and in return I see no reason to do much for them in return. I might be interested if they had the guts to reintroduce the games against the auld enemy, until then I'll stick with Glasgow Rangers and no others.

docspiderman 1,260 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Souness would never be offered the job: he speaks his mind and has his own thoughts, something not popular with the sfa. I think given their record against him he would tell them where to stick the job. Saintbob 1969, I have much the same opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMWWBK 0 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I don't rate Souness as a manager but he would have been a much better appointment than Burley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was able to sign the England goalkeeper and captain for a start ... funny how times change. Would never take an England keeper just now but would have no chance of having an England captain at Ibrox. Exactly Souness bought his way to sucess at Ibrox, it also helped that English clubs were banned from European competition at the time so playing for Rangers was a VERY attractive option for all players down south as we were guarenteed european football every year. Basicaly we could pick and choose from all the English talent, was there not a time around the late eighties early ninteys where about half the starting 11 for the English national team played for us? When he went elsewhere and didn't have those advantages he didn't impress. Still he would have been better than Burley! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
