The_Kincardine Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Just now, Ranaldo Bairn said: Indeed - but he's described what make a successful team of any stripe in Scotland - not just an Ibrox based one. I thought about that when I posted it but I disagree with you. The successful Ibrox teams over the decades I've been watching them have been built on hefty blokes who can put their head on the ball and who won't give in. Playing football is down to the other 5 blokes in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I agree with that - but for surely every other Scottish XI the same applies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 The horrible truth for Rangers is that there are only three ways that they can hope to 'catch' Celtic. 1. Celtic implode [ unlikely ] 2. Massive investment. [ Highly unlikely ] 3. Find an exceptional manager in the mould of Stein, Clough, Shankly, Ferguson..............etc { Not Barry! ] Or a combination of the above. And I say this without malice. Or a meringue.

Ludo*1 Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 The more Rangers appoint 'Rangers men' the more they lose 'Rangers men'. Look at Ally McCoist. He was up there with their biggest ever legends, and has now became a pariah at Ibrox. Barry Ferguson next would be pleasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Having been on PnB for a couple of years I'll now declare an interest. I'm 'Rangers minded'. Ooft. Glad that's now out there. Not enough to buy a recent season ticket nor enough to - in the PnB vernacular - 'save my club from dying'. because, of course, any right minded football fan would prioritise their family finances second to their team when it's self evidently being run by a bunch of self serving charlatans.Pedro was an impostor. A joke appointment brought in from out of town by the Board of charlatans with the agenda of introducing somebody 'exotic' that the flaccid and lazy MSM wouldn't be (couldn't be arsed) scrutinising too closely. I genuinely hope that Mark Allen, now he is in (what I think is an over engineered) post, will do the job he is getting admirably well paid for and the GASL keeps well away from the process. I'd like a surprise. We'll see.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Malcolm Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 29 minutes ago, bennett said: Barton was one of the English championships better players when he signed and appeared to have turned over a new leaf. Again not many were critical at the time. Would they make the step up or would they O'halloran it? Pena and Herrera have been called up to the Mexico team, which I'm guessing is at a higher level than our national team. You're missing the point entirely with what I'm saying about Joey Barton. You're missing the point entirely with what I'm saying about the sort of domestic players Rangers should be approaching. You're missing the point entirely with what I was saying about (usually) expensive foreign signings and the scouting infrastructure. There's an additional point in there about wages but I can't be arsed making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And? They were clearly playing to the gallery. All I have to go on is my friends and what I read on here and no-one gave a shit about the splurging. Hence the wee bit I've quoted. They could afford it because they've so much money. f**k what happens a few years down the line as long as we're lording it over the diddies.

Miguel Sanchez Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Judging by the length of Frank De Boer's managerial reigns if he's given the job he'll end up sacked some time last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first thing a competent Rangers manager would do would be to sort out the centre of defence – even McCoist (who was certainly not competent) had Bocanegra and Goian.

Richey Edwards Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 4. Build a time machine, go back 5 years and not pish away tens of millions getting promoted through the Scottish lower leagues. Invest in the squad in 2015 when they reach the promised land. If only someone had pointed this out at the time? 'It's OK, we can afford it'. Yeah I have always thought Sevco missed a trick in not building a good young team for the future while in the lower leagues. Instead they signed mercenaries like Kevin Kyle and Ian Black.
