What works or doesn't in Germany has regrettably very little relevance to our lot up north. Let me spell this out for you. In the current circumstances, a laptop type of manager won't work at Ibrox. Taking that further, a laptop manager without any managerial experience taking over the club would be "institutional Failure" part II. I shouldn't have referred to experienced leadership as being 'old-fashioned', it's simply practical common sense. You're pigeon-holing, missed my point entirely, seem to think Scotland is some special case, and insulted my intelligence. Great job. Again, my point was: we seem to be looking at a top-class, experienced manager, which would cost too much, or a complete unknown, which is perhaps too big a gamble; it's extremes. A middle way, where we look for an assistant who has worked with a top manager, who's looking for their first foray into management, may have provided a 'best of both worlds' scenario. It was hypothetical. I never called for the appointment of a "laptop manager", but merely disagreed with your perceived pejorative slant. Brendan Rodgers is not "old-fashioned", and I think he's doing alright... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace brother Let's see what actually happens and then we can resume the discussion. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general we still cling onto a blood n' guts style of play, where physicality & strength is preferred over skill & talent. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, special in the sense we still cling to that, but not special in the sense that a modern approach won't work (See Them). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
