Tell me about it, I had the away shirt with 'Le Guen's' and the number 11 below it. Never wore that one much!

And of course there is the user on here @plgsarmy, although she doesn't appear to have logged in for a couple of years, although this could be because of her job.

Reactions to manager/coach appointments post Mr Struth excluding temps. Proves I’m not often right.

 

Symon: who’s he, dad?

White: big shoes to fill.

Waddell: not before time.

Wallace 1: why?

Greig: too soon.

Wallace 2: is this wise?

Souness: ecstatic.

Walter 1 : sensible for now.

Advocaat: this is going to be good.

McLeish: what? Well, I suppose.

Le Guen: progress.

Walter 2: relief. Who else could it have been?

McCoist: is this really a good idea?

Warburton: this could be the man.

Pedro: Gordon flaming Bennett.

Gerrard: bit of excitement, we’ll see.

Gio: might be ok.

Beale: something not right.

Clement: on the right track.

Martin: oh.

 

There’s hope yet for the hipster without him needing my endorsement.

My first Rangers manager was 'Wallace 1' but the first appointment I saw happen was Greig.

 

Spare a thought for the poor bastards who have only known a post Walter 2 society. In a lot more ways than one.

 

 

First six appointments on above list span from 1954 until 1986 (32 years)

 

Last six (before Martin) 2015 until 2025 (10 years)

I always thought PLG was a good appointment and given time would have got results. 

 

Of course I was wrong and this type of person had achieved success in France and good results in Europe, but didn't come equipped for Scottish football.

 

And the school chairs on the touchline thing was also very odd.
