Frankie 8,157 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Another riddy for this board. Six weeks on and we're no closer to a new manager. Utterly bizarre. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Because he's the first player ever to have a bad patch of form isn't he. So he can't possibly be any good at all. Based on what I saw on Sunday then, yes, he was dross. I can only base my judgement on what I see. He was terrible. It is mildly amusing that some are taking that statement to mean that I am saying he is a terrible footballer - perhaps those having a go should read what I ACTUALLY said.... "McLean, the biggest rumour, was absolute dross on Sunday" - care to tell me where that suggests he is simply dross consistently ?? It doesn't, does it ??? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jaws 570 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Another riddy for this board. Six weeks on and we're no closer to a new manager. Utterly bizarre. I don't see it that way Frankie. This isnt about the board or Dave King this is about Derek McInnes. If he doesn't want the job then he doesn't want it. As far as I'm concerned it shows exactly the the level of ambition that he has. You don't knock back Rangers or the mhanks if you're ambitious. Its as simple as that! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,268 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Maybe his number two/side kick persuaded him to stay?? I've no doubt he may have influenced this decision 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,263 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Another riddy for this board. Six weeks on and we're no closer to a new manager. Utterly bizarre. It is a bit reminiscent of some of our transfer deals, but in this case probably to do with the double header against the Sheep. That said, you have to take what is on the table and the Board can't make people sign because we want them or they are available. Not if those available are not of a quality we look for in terms of progression as a team. In 1986, the owners made the radical step and appointed a player-manager in Souness. Young, vastly experienced ... but what a gamble?! He was off soon after and a no-one stepped out of Souness' shadow and we virtually couldn't believe what unfolded. Who knows what may unfold with Murty? Or some other "younger" chap like e.g. Neil McCann or Kevin Thompson? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 he's on a cushy number up there with not a lot of pressure to win things, no ambition or bottle it looks like to me, good news That's my thinking. His decision to reject the opportunity to come to us suggests that he doesn't have the ambition to "step up". Taking his cushy number in Aberdeen (fair enough) rather than moving to a bigger club where he knows the pressures will be far greater. Regardless of whether you wanted him or not as Rangers manager, this should be his final chance to become so. Reject us once, shame on you. Reject us twice, shame on us. If he can't handle the pressure of moving to Scotland's biggest club then he certainly wouldn't have been able to handle the pressure of managing it through some choppy waters. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I thought the word was that Murty didn't want it and is happy with his role working with the youths? That may have changed with recent results though. Was Murty not recently quoted as saying something like "I wouldn't be able to turn this job down" ?? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its as simple as that! IMO, you don't offer the job to someone unless you know they want it. McInnes may be a bottler but we should have found that out before waiting six weeks to make a public fool of ourselves. Only excuse here for the board is if he reneged on a private agreement to join us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I still say it would have been foolish of the board to only interview one candidate. I would have expected 2 or 3 to be taken to interview stage, and going by Kings words these would most likely be in a job. We are only hearing about DM coz that is all the Scottish Media have been focusing on. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,399 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) I think I've got a case of Cognitive Dissonance: I'm a wee bit gutted that we've not appointed DM, as it looked like he was an option -- although, actually there is nothing to say he was our only option, as someone (Darthter, maybe?) posted a few days ago --, but also relieved as I don't think he's any good!
