  1. I’ve been hoping that the past two appointments, and we’ve ended up going for the fans favourite and apparent “obvious choice” both times. I don’t trust that we have the data-based approach to identify good managers tbh. It will probably be worth of mouth and waiting to see who comes to them.
  2. Davis in interim charge and Alex Rae helping him.
  3. Just been announced on website
  4. Poor show for this news to be out with public figures reporting it before it’s happened.
  5. Whether he's the answer or not I don't know, but Kjetil Knutsen has had a bumpy couple of months at Bodo Glimt and the timing might work out. Having said that, I've just checked and he'll be back top of the league in exactly 5 minutes.
  6. Red flags have been there for a long time so if the board are remotely competent, they shouldn’t be starting from scratch right now. Beale has been yet another pothole we couldn’t afford to hit and we feel as far away as we did when Gerrard joined at the moment. Free access to Champions League money 3 years in a row makes that the case. It will take a genius appointment to stop that happening, and I don’t think our board have that in them.
  7. Champions at passing it around. Were lacking creativity and penetration though.
  8. No. But tonight we celebrate a good win and do our usual, hope against hope.
  9. As limited as our options are, a sub would help too. Sima doesn't offer much and too many attacks break down with him.
  10. At least there’s been a glimmer of hope in the past 5 minutes
  11. We just really don’t look very good at all. And Betis look ordinary.
  12. Truth is I don’t have time to keep up with football outside of Rangers these days because I have a young family so I don't really know of anyone outside the box. Knutsen looks good on paper and I've been keen on him since pre-Gio. There's talk that Muscat is similar to Ange in his style of play? A quick look at stats and he has a better win ratio than Ange at the two clubs they've both managed at (there are slight sample size issues). You could argue Muscat benefited from the foundations being laid in both cases. Without being closer to it, I've no idea. He flopped badly in Belgium. Dejan Stankovic looked a good option pre-Beale, I was keen on him. He had experience of managing a team in an identical situation to us, at the top of a rubbish league with one strong rival. His record there was absurdly good, 78% win record. The best Red Star have ever had if you exclude small sample sizes. He subsequently got relegated with Sampdoria, apparently at least in part due to financial issues at the club though. He was appointed Ferencvaros manager 2 days ago. I'm going to follow him very closely there because that's a very comparable situation again, they are going for six in a row.
  13. There have to be great options out there but I have no trust in the board to find them. Celtic found Ange because of the city group link. It just feels like any appointment we make will be very risky because we don’t know how to look for managers.
  14. Should PLG have been given two full seasons? Caixinha joined in March, and before the end of the season he'd managed to get hammered 5-1 to Celtic at Ibrox and lost 2-1 to Aberdeen at Ibrox. In 10 league games he managed to drop points in 4. In other words, the writing was on the wall from the very beginning. Should we not have sacked him? And saved him the hassle of explaining himself from a bush a few months later?
  15. Unfortunately we’ll almost certainly miss out on that.
  16. Rookie defending has made this embarrassing when it should have been tight. But it has to be said they are clearly a better all round team and players and it’s simplistic to completely blame the defence.
  17. Couple of guys on FF got the same message. Time will tell. Would be an outstanding signing, even on loan.
  18. A Jack replacement should have been a priority this summer. It’s a weak position.
  19. It’s good to still be in the tie. I think PSV are clearly the better team and we’ve done well to get a draw last night, as disappointing as it was not to be able to hold a lead. We’re up against it at their own ground, but we were last year too. Huge game for Beale.
  20. Loyal to his signings unfortunately. There's no excuse for this.
  21. And we have no confidence whatsoever in our ability to play on the ground. We're just giving the ball back to them.
