Final stage interviews being held next week apparently. Going to be Muscat, isn’t it? Not Clement? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it’ll depend on how the interviews next week go, I am just assuming Muscat will be the front runner given how long his name has been in the mix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willywastecoat Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 There is loads of wee sub plots here,as much as sevco needed a revamp how bad are the jobbyers Beale brung in. For any manager coming in there is silverware up for grabs in the league cup which maybe paper over the cracks. Plus players coming back from injury should give them a wee bouncy bouncy. For me the interesting part is can they manage to hold on to finishing second with a bit of consistency in the league or can one of the diddies collect enough points to make the transition complete. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a slightly related note I’ve been thinking that there is a pretty incredible similarity between Rangers and Man Utd from late 80s/early 90s until roughly the same period. Of course Man Utd haven’t suffered quite the same effects financially but their club (or whatever) has also suffered from terrible leadership from the top. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikethedee Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 BBC reporting that Lampard is not on the shortlist. Most disappointing from a bantz perspective… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumour last month was that Tom Brady was bringing Rooney into Blues and Eustace was going to Rangers. Complete nonsense of course given Rooney had a job and Rangers had a manager. Eustace now 9-2 btw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJF Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 After just having our fingers burnt by appointing an inexperienced manager, it would be madness if we decided to do the same again with Eustace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why Rangers will do it! If Rangers appoint a manager who has only had one job and has just been binned by a 6th placed championship side, then its a bit of a new low and probably shows how far Rangers have dropped tbh. If I'm honest, I'm not sure why Eustace is/was so highly thought of? Does he have some sort of link to Rangers or a history of being a top coach? Not trolling, just from am outside in looks a strange name to be linked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t even aware he was Birmingham manager until a few days ago and now all of a sudden his price is dropping. I understand that Next Manager markets can change with just a little money being placed so hopefully it’s just a case of this rather than there being a genuine interest. He hasn’t been named on the shortlists that have been speculated about really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alert Mongoose Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I'm guessing that new/inexperienced managers have less clout when asking for transfer funds. It'll be someone that ticks that box. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick look at his history suggests a pretty unspectacular playing career, but seems to have done a fair bit of coaching, even at international level, for which I'm sure the Rangers fans will be delighted... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) Philippe Clement gives strong Le Guen and Pedro vibes. In fact, more so Pedro as Le Guen had a decent reputation before Rangers. John Eustace, whilst doing well at Birmingham seems like an extremely underwhelming shout and has less experience and success than Warburton did at the time he was appointed. I know Rangers fans are being unrealistic in who they think they can get but the names being touted all sound amazing... if you support Celtic. ETA: Didn't realise Clement was as successful as he was with Genk tbf. Edited October 9, 2023 by Ludo*1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
