This is turning stories to suit your argument. Pedro started managing when he was only 28 and had been at a number of clubs as assistant or full manager. Teams managed 1999–2003 Desportivo Beja (youth) 2003–2004 Vasco Gama Vidigueira 2004–2006 Sporting CP (assistant) 2006–2007 Al-Hilal (assistant) 2007–2008 Panathinaikos (assistant) 2008–2009 Rapid București (assistant) 2009–2010 Saudi Arabia (assistant) 2010–2011 União Leiria 2011–2012 Nacional 2013–2015 Santos Laguna 2015–2017 Al-Gharafa 2017 Rangers 2017– Cruz Azul Ally McCoist had played under a number of managers and was assistant to Walter for 4 years. He was also a coach under Walter at Scotland so a step up to manager was not that crazy a decision. After all the great Bill Struth had taken roughly the same route. on the other hand Dave White also took the same route he had managed Clyde and was assistant under Scott Symon before stepping up and he failed to win a major title. Warburtons problem was not so much experience but bloody mindedness a trait that he has shown at virtually every club he has been at. You could have of course included John Greig who was taken from player to manager and flopped. Willie Waddell was successful at kilmarnock and gave us the ECWC and a LC but never won a title and he was experienced although he did give us the new Ibrox. PLG had experience in winning the French title 3 times but flopped with us. As you can see experience is not a guarantee for success as our history proves and unfortunately money probably is the biggest guarantee for success these days.

I knew you posted it I just couldn't remember where. Cheers.

Just a question in between. When is the Glasgow cup final with the u17's against them?

Oops!

You can't play in a colour you have not registered at the beginning of the season unless there are extreme circumstances and you get permission from the SFA. That would be like you forget the strips and have to play in borrowed strips which I doubt would happen in the professional game.

Agree totally and to add FC Twenthe went for the experienced manager in Gert-Jan Verbeek to get them away from the drop zone. They just got worse with him fighting with the players and he got sacked a few months later. Unfortunately it looks like Twenthe will be playing in the second league next season.

Funnily enough i voted for the experienced manager and if you think I am only positive then you don't read many of my posts. The fact is if it is Gerrard then he is innocent until proven guilty and starts from a neutral position with me. I already have the feeling you are in the "I hope he fails group"so as you can say "See I was right all along the board are crap" Of course we could have gone for the Alex McLeish or bring back Walter route but I am afraid I would rather see a bit more creative Instinct from the board than chew through the same old, same old for the next number of years. that really would shrink the crowds.

Unfortunately I don't think you see any way to look at Rangers in a positive light.

It was also reported FdB was asked but knocked us back.

steven Gerrard is not John Barns so it is not a given that his career will pan out in the same way. It is a hit and hope shot though.

i personally have no idea.

I would rather have Sarah Ferguson at least she has Haras in her name.

Neil Warnock seems to be hitting the heights as well.

Possibly.

I know it was if we got him. I am still wary that is all. I wouldn't trust Ashely as far as I can throw him.

Yes but sometimes the unbelievable happens. Like Ashely just like magic got up and walked out. like Hummel outlet is Sportdirect 1 letter from sportsdirect and then we all of a sudden got Benitez. A hell of a lot of coincidences there nearer the hundred.

That would really frighten me and make me 100% certain that Ashely is still pulling strings in the background.

Murty will not be in charge, you don't need to worry about that.

Forrest instead of Candeias who has more assists than any other player. Forrest only one goal more. hmmmm

Probably Tims putting their coppers on thinking they have tango 2.

Only an east wind I believe.

Infamous more like.

Somehow that wouldn't surprise me in the least.

What does Kevin Thomson know? He even talks to Craig.
