Rangers Next New Manager

[Doon frae Troon]

I see they have appointed a temporary management team to replace the temporary manager.

Some critics say that appointing an inexperienced under 18's coach to replace and experienced under 20's coach is not a very good idea for the next manager.

Gerraaard?? Really?

Once upon a time Celtic thought it a good idea to appoint John Barnes as their manager...great player - no managerial experience...and Celtic

I hope Gerrard doesn’t take the job as believe it’s a poor move for him BUT - Barnes first of all wasn’t that bad - wasn’t given that long and also Barnes went in with no managerial experience where as Gerrard has been learning the ropes at a youth level and has games under his belt.

But he shouldn’t touch the job with a barge pole

Barnes helped with one of the best ever red top headines "Super Cally go ballistic Celtic are atrocious" as Celtic were cuffed by Cally Thistle 3-1 at home

All he needs to do is spend a hour or so reading posts on The Bears Forum to be found on the Rangers Media website to get a feeling for what Rangers fan think; how they think - especially about Celtic - and their expectations of Rangers and a Rangers manager.

Much easier supporting St Johnstone

Oh come on, I know you're very blinkered when it comes to Liverpool players past and present, but "wasnt that bad" OMG, ROFL, LMFAO, LOL

He is responsible for the supercally headline.... Easily the worst manager in Celtics history.

Yep they lost a Cup game against a lower league team - name me a manager who hasn’t

His win percentage was better than the guy he replaced and also other notable managers over that period. Factually you are wrong

Since when were managers factually rated on their win percentage :rofl:

When someone says they are easily the worst ever when the stats don’t back that up

Barnes wasn’t a popular choice at a time when Rangers were dominant - they were going through managers quickly and all of them have roughly the same sort of record but because of the defeat against Inverness and because of his persona he was given the boot , Barnes even had the best start to a Scottish Season for 40 years or something along those lines - there was a good debate on it on the radio the other night.

I actually think there's no way SG can lose on this

If the unlikely happens and he turns things round he'd be a hero
If things don't move forward it'll certainly be blamed on budget/board etc etc as is normal for this wackadoodle club in recent years and his reputation is still intact
Either of the above still gives SG experience in a non-competitive senior league (which I'll boldly claim is better than his under 18's experience)

Rangers can (and probably will) lose out big time with him as a managerial appointment but SG can't really fall on his face on this one

0-4, 0-5, I wonder if Celtic are winding up their ugly sister for a 0-6 Scottish Cup final.

Re Barnes, he was inexperienced but don't forget he had Dalglieh to advise him. The dream team turned into the nightmare team.

 

[HowlingGale]

Anything that makes either Old Firm team make an utter baws of things is fine by me. 😂

The trouble with stats is there's nearly always a stat to back up any side of an argument. I'm sure if you were to ask the majority of Celtic fans they'll tell you Barnes was one of, if not the worse manager they've seen.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Question for any Rangers fans, what do they expect of their next manager? How long do you believe it will take before you can genuinely compete with Celtic?

I am interested to see what the expectation is.

The stats are slightly skewed by the fact that at the time of Barnes they had the second highest spending power in the league. The managers who he is 'better' than didn't have that luxury. That's why his win percentage was higher. For the position he was in he wasn't a very good manager at all.

You know nothing. He came back to England, managed Tranmere and then................oh yeah, you have a point

 

[virgilvdk]

Ask any Celtic fan who they think thier worst ever mananger was and Barnes will be top of most lists.

"The Stats dont back that up" :rofl:
