BrahimHemdani 1 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Well if you now don't get the validity of comparisons I think we're done even though it seems to be valid when people want to compare Rangers resources to others in the SPL. The point is that it's not a fair comparison. Man Utd have the resources and manager to get out of that position, do we? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 In comparison to Aberdeen who have a great recent record?. They have a better record this season than us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,674 Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 The point is that it's not a fair comparison. Man Utd have the resources and manager to get out of that position, do we? Yes. We don't have greater resources than most of the league? That's one of the criticisms being aimed at us that we do so in terms of Man U it's a perfect comparison because they get the same criticism. As for our manager that's a matter of opinion isn't it. I happen to think he's a good manager and also think Mourinho has been over rated but that's also just an opinion. Mourinho made his name at Porto where he built a good side but does that one good side mean he is a great manager? Ever since Porto he has basically been a cheque book manager at clubs with almost unlimited resources. Do you think Mark Warburton would win the league with a cheque book far bigger than anybody else? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 He said if you take us out of it, meaning they are the best of the rest without the OF. Hmmm...... so if you do indeed take the OF out of it then Aberdeen are favourites to win the league? Pretty meaningless analogy is it not? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,674 Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 They have a better record this season than us. They have an identical record to us this season. Two wins 3 draws 1 defeat which is exactly why they too are on 9 points. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearman 9 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 We find ourselves scrapping with the other scrappers for points so far. Usually it's we get the points and the others scrap for theirs. Maybe King and Warbs cant quite get to grips with that equation. They better wise up quickly before we are a laughing stock. In King and Warburton we believe. Aye Right! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since Porto he has basically been a cheque book manager at clubs with almost unlimited resources. Do you think Mark Warburton would win the league with a cheque book far bigger than anybody else? Well, let's see: Mourinho has managed 7 clubs, 4 of whom would be regarded as amongst the best in Europe if not the world and won the European Champions League twice; prior to Rangers, Warburton had managed Brentford for 18 months, during which period it would be fair to say he did rather well. But it's hardly a fair comparison. In answer to your question , no I don't. And to put it another way, do I think that Mourinho would do better than Warburton with the same resources, yes I do. Reasons - player management and tactical awareness. As I said it's not a fair comparison. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone gave you all the parts to a Ferrari you wouldn't be able to go out and get the best out of it the next day. After a week or 2 of assembling you still may have not put parts where they should in the engine so it may not be running right so would be looking to tweak and get it right. Some fans need to realise real football isn't like it is on a playstation. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes in terms of points, but as I pointed out they are above us on goal difference due to only losing 4-1 at Parkhead and winning 3-1 at Dundee. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
