pete 2,499 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Yes Moyes is the only one that gives me any hope. I hope if we have 150 applications though that we have better or younger more driven than him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,675 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) If McInnes ends up at Rangers the sheep followers will act as if they don't give a baaa exactly like they did with Jack but in reality will be seething and devastated. Probably also more likely that if he becomes Rangers manager that McLean may follow him in January to hit them with a double kick in the nuts that will also be brushed off as nothing. McInnes is useless and so is McLean just like Jack who is now somehow being selected for Scotland squads despite being shite.

the gunslinger 3,366 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Taken from FF. Derek McInnes remains the preferred candidate of the board. Alex Neil has applied and is considered the backup, has some support from the board as well. Mark Allen's choice for the job is Steve McLaren. Over 150 applications including Moyes and Pardew. If admin need a source I can confirm. Neil or mclaren are decent candidates 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil's advocaat 1,276 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I'd rather have bloody Malcolm McLaren than the idiot with the Brolly.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,382 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 McLaren is a very good coach, although I'm not sure he's quite done enough as a manager -- despite doing very well with Derby (1st spell) and winning the Eredivisie with Twente! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,382 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I was thinking the other day how we seem to be categorising potential managers into two groups: foreigners with the tactical nous; and British managers that are "safer", will know what it means to play for Rangers and have us organised and hard to beat etc. But what about getting a British manager, like McInnes, but doing what Sir Alex did and bring in a tactically progressive coach? I'd be more than happy with that situation; a sort of best of both worlds. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Dynamo 128 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I'd be more excited about Moyes or McLaren getting the job than McInnes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,382 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Moreover, the progressive tactics I'd like to see does not have to be a free-flowing, attack-at-all-costs philosophy like the Spanish or Dutch, but a more organised, intense pressing style like some German sides -- and Portuguese... --; to be honest, that would suit the Scottish game more than a Spanish approach. Red Bull Salzburg play some stunning stuff -- high pressing, quick transitions etc. -- to great effect -- albeit built on Red Bull's war chest! Guys like Adi Hutter won leagues with RB Salzburg and are now doing well at other sides in Europe. Adi Hutter is currently running away with Young Boys in the Swiss league -- a league with a well-performing Basel in Europe. Surely these names are more approachable anyway? The DeBoers and Allardyces are more well-known here, but I suspect they'd be difficult to attract -- and I'm not sure their styles would suit our Scottish game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMc 2,473 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Isn't Alex Neil the Preston manager just now and doing pretty well with them? I'd be amazed if he applied for the Rangers job, I might accept it if he was out of work but not whilst in a job and in a position to move up to the EPL next year. Moyes is interesting and McLaren terrifying. His Dutch title is a massive outlier in an otherwise under achieving CV. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,440 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) The Rangers Observer, in its 'Views' section, puts a case for McInnes: https://www.rangersobserver.com/views/2017/11/2/next-rangers-boss-the-case-for-derek-mcinnes Quick read: He's a Rangers' Man who has done very well with Aberdeen - what's not to like?
