ian1964 10,457 Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 McInnes doesn't fill me with any great excitement, I haven't a clue who I want as manager!, just not convinced he is the man to take us forward!, but we fans don't get a say in it but whoever comes in will get the same backing every Rangers manager gets. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 We didn't spend £3.5m on Pena Soon he will be a £40 million player at this rate even if he doesn't kick a ball. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Aitor Karanka ?I'd rather McLeish back if I'm honest. Karanka seems to be a fussy bugger and his style of football is horrendous. A few defeats and we'd be calling for him to go. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) Id be amazed if its not mcinnis given who told me. But strange things happen.No one has to be anything. I know nothing. I have no inside sources but I'd be amazed if it wasn't McInnes. It wouldn't be outwith the realms of possibility that we've spoken to Aberdeen a while back and they've told us to come back after the double header.

buster. 4,811 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I genuinely hope we're not overlooking better candidates than McInnes who want the job For all those who don't fancy McInnes,...... name a viable candidate with extensive knowledge of the British/Scottish game that you would prefer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 For all those who don't fancy McInnes,...... name a viable candidate with extensive knowledge of the British/Scottish game that you would prefer. Advocaat over McInnes. He's available plus has the British / Scottish experience. However no way will it be Advocaat, King said its a decision they are getting right for the next 3 years, Advocaat would be a short term until the end of the season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably right there else he would be needing protection tomorrow. But if this is the case a few clues will be in Aberdeens performance tomorrow. Im not fully against it being McInnes but think we should be aiming higher. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffer 1,665 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 For all those who don't fancy McInnes,...... name a viable candidate with extensive knowledge of the British/Scottish game that you would prefer. I can't think of many, if any. I wish I could because I'd like to hope we were bringing in someone more exciting. However, I'm now resigned to the fact that it will be DM. I can't build any enthusiasm for this appointment, but I will support him as I would any Rangers manager. I'm now just hoping he can prove himself worthy of this post. However, until he's appointed I hope he loses every game in the meantime. For the avoidance of doubt, I don't dislike DM as a person and he seems to get his teams winning (except against us). I just can't stomach the thought of that style of football. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleg_Mcnoleg 50 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 McInnes doesn't fill me with any great excitement, I haven't a clue who I want as manager!, just not convinced he is the man to take us forward!, but we fans don't get a say in it but whoever comes in will get the same backing every Rangers manager gets. That’s sort of the problem, isn’t it? If he’d been appointed a couple of days after Pedro went (or even after Warburton) I think more would’ve shrugged and said ‘fair enough’. But after a month and a half speculating about the world of managerial possibilities, he seems a bit of an anticlimax. I’ve no idea who applied but some of the names being thrown about social media have been unrealistic, over the hill or high risk, despairing punts. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 4,811 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Advocaat over McInnes. He's available plus has the British / Scottish experience. However no way will it be Advocaat, King said its a decision they are getting right for the next 3 years, Advocaat would be a short term until the end of the season. As you say, the need for stability and re-building means Advocaat would be very unlikely. Re. Stability: One of the positives about McInnes is that if he were to sign a contract, he'd more than likely, fully intend to see it out.......rather than be willing from the outset to use us as a stepping stone. He spent 4 years at St.Johnstone, got the team promoted to the top tier (something Owen Coyle hadn't been able to do). At Bristol City, he joined (in the October) with them bottom of league and kept them up. Following season went badly and he was sacked. People talk of mitigating circumstances re. state of club but I don't know to what extent they apply. He's been 4 years at Aberdeen and has built an effective sqaud on relatively little money, which is capable of a consistency that brings 2nd place. (Best win % since Alex Ferguson). Only one League Cup win. 10 years of management and only one sacking. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
