D.A.F.C Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Slippy G underestimated Scottish football, 3 years on hes still improving his squad and winning nothing. His recruitment has been shockingly bad,the 3 players he didn't sign are probably the best he has Tavernier jack and wee fredo. Hes hopeless. Hasnt improved rangers at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They finished third in each of their two top flight seasons before he arrived, and they've finished comfortably second since he took over. They were eliminated from Europe by Progres Niederkorn in the season before he arrived, and have made the Europa League group stages and last 16 in the two seasons since he took over. That is clearly improvement. Not as much as they were hoping for, maybe, but clearly improvement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I guess you’re right, he’s improved them slightly with a bigger budget and Aberdeen have reduced theirs. Not really a success though, no trophies. As said the best players signed by previous management. Rangers fans easily duped into thinking hes doing well though. This season is crunch time, if he does it then he’ll be a hero. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His squad is awash with big wage earners and bigger fees than any of those cost, Kent and Itten are a combined 10m alone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 HIBERNIAN are in pole position to beat off competition from England and abroad to clinch a move for Rangers midfielder Ross McCrorie. Herald and Times Sport understands the 22-year-old is one of the key targets for boss Jack Ross this summer and Hibs are keen to strike a deal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season is crunch time, if he does it then he’ll be a hero. His win % in competitive games is 60%. Murty for the season he had in charge was 62%. Granted Gerrard has played more European football so that dilutes it a little however they aren’t winning that many more games under Gerrard especially when it matters and considering the financial backing he has had compared to Murty before him. 6 attempts at winning a trophy and none taken, I can’t really remember a time when that was acceptable for a manager of the Old Firm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers done the treble in 02/03 but I think Livi won the next league cup and Celtic the double. He won the Scottish cup in 04/05 So he lost 4 on the bounce however I can forgive him the Scottish Cup in 02 since we won the league Edited August 6, 2020 by Jinky67 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t want to add that to Stevies record would seem a little harsh with regards Martin O’Neil 4 trophies in your 1st 2 seasons including a 1st season treble affords you a little slack 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, your record in the wilderness year from when you sacked McBungle is testament to how managers should be dealt with. You went through 9 managers in 9 years - and had 6 years without a trophy - but are here telling us what is, "acceptable for a manager of the Old Firm". At least you can string a sentence together and actually discuss football - which is more than can be said for the other grot* who constantly spam the thread. * @8MileBU Edited August 6, 2020 by The_Kincardine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snifter Pee Rot Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Selling then fine but I don't see the point of loans from the Rangers as he misses 4 games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tagging the shit flicking, skin wearing 14mile only makes it worse. Remember, plenty of water, couple of paracetamol and keep fighting the good fight you flag wearing old soak.

At least you can string a sentence together and actually discuss football - which is more than can be said for the other grot* who constantly spam the thread. * @8MileBU The late 80’s early 90’s were my earliest memories of being a Celtic fan - not a the best of starts must be said. i think between McNeil and ONeil only Tommy Burns was given more than 2 seasons and probably due to that Scottish Cup win in 95, could be said he maybe deserved more of a chance gutted he was sacked but if that change hadn’t taken place would he have been able to stop the 10 the next season? I don’t think he would have and the 6th trophy lost in a row was seemingly the tipping point for Burns to be sacked From then on it felt every season we were changing managers up until O’Neil despite managing to stop the 10 in 97. That’s kind of my point though, I’ve never seen a time where a manager has been afforded that time without winning a trophy so what is about Gerrard that he is being afforded this time without any success when almost every other old firm manager of my generation hasn’t? I’m genuinely curious Edited August 6, 2020 by Jinky67 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Gerrard has done well in Europe but his biggest failing is bottling the cup games. He won't get near Celtic for the league. He probably is their best manager since Smith and will move to one of the bigger EFL Championship sides at the end of the season. After Celtic get 10IAR Rangers fans will be a ball of white hot rage and appoint Arlene Foster. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
