He wouldn't get much longer here, if he goes 4 games without a win, nor a goal. Forgot he had been appointed. Still, a club job over a national team gig? Do you foresee a Rangers side going four games without scoring in Scotland? I don't subscribe to Michael Laudrup or Ronald Koeman per se. Just thought I'd mention them; at least they are of a better quality that Mick McCarthy and some of the other names listed a few posts back.

Probably not, but he'd still need to hit the ground running, by winning games. I'm not sure he can do that; too set in his ways. Absolutely; it's nice to at least mention these guys, whether they're realistic or not. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is what is required, then that is what must be done - It's down to the Board to find a way to make it happen. If we want to be the "Simply the best" again, we need to start showing that with our Managerial appointments. The playing staff will follow.... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Jack Ross would crash and burn under the intense pressure and immediate expectation. If we want someone who'll turn this around immediately with limited finance, perhaps we aren't being realistic. did you not read how the Bundusliga was getting turned around by young managers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

See to be honest you have got my point spot on. While it would be a massive gamble for us, we are happy to allow English clubs to take a chance on our coaches then if they become successful we can’t afford them. We even do the same with players. McArthur being a good example. Even Rodgers was a punt from someone at some point in time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to be realistic and stick to affordable options. Obviously there is a limit.....but we MUST aim high & be prepared to spend what is required. It's no use bringing in a mid-table SPFL manager, then giving him Millions of pounds to spend on players. Brenda wasn't enticed by a massive transfer kitty, considering all the cash they have pulled in over the past 5 years. He has essentially worked with what was there - especially last season. He has since brought in some big money players, who have not exactly set the heather alight. A clear plan must be put to any manager - You want a huge transfer budget, bring in huge amounts of cash (via Europe, cups, wheeling/dealing etc). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
