Rangers manager!

Right guys, a lot of names have been banded about and a lot of rumours passed.

But I don't want rumours, I want opinions!

Who do you think will become the next rangets manager?

(Wondering who tennant is going to pick)

I have already stated my preference by I actually think the board will hire ally McCoist or Stuart mccall

Derek MacInnes.

I fear you could be right on mcoist, he and DK are friends, it would certainly save money,

If McCoist is back in, surely we have enough of a share of votes to call an EGM.

Would be hilarious to call an EGM for the removal of McCoist after the applause he got at the last egm but not many fans would support such a resolution me being one. I would give McCoist the chance to finish the job he started.

With a money, proper coaching, youth and boardroom support structure I believe he would succeed.

His tactics leave a lot to be desired and his team selections but he took the reigns at the start of the downward spiral. Give him the job!

Although I would prefer cathro

To the original poster, if you read any of my posts you would know that billy davies is and always has been my no.1 choice

Let me get this straight his tactics and team selections leave a lot to be desired according to yourself but you would give him the job again that doesn't make any sense, the new manager needs to be a brilliant forward thinking coach with fresh ideas because the days of us spending millions on players are gone! That rules mccoist out in my opinion,

L3mst3r, are you for real mate, you want mccoist back as manager and state in your post that the downward spiral started before mccoist got the job, I think you better start looking into mccoist's reign as rangers manager from the start until he was placed on gardening leave, mccoist is and always will be a glasgow rangers legend as a goalscorer, as a manager he's not got it simple as that, you're post is totally baffling mate, contradictory as one minute you want mccoist then you prefer cathro!

From a footballing perspective and way forward I would take cathro any day.

But I think McCoist deserves a chance to finish what he started. I don't think he ever got the chance to fully take the reigns and build his team. His tactics and team selections did leave a lot to be desired but what other tactics can you play with the current crop of players? They can't pass the ball about and remind me of the old scotland team that lacked confidence. He did indeed bring in those players but with a limited budget for players he decided to bring in top level players who should have gave a lot more. Would he have signed the same players if he had money and a scouting department? Probably not. If he had players capable of playing a Spanaish passing game would he loft it upfront? Probably not.

I just don't think McCoist is the cause for most of this and is made a scapegoat.

Call me optimistic and loyal but if ally got given a second chance I wouldn't complain, the team have struggled without him, the house is being built and I honestly think if he was given funds, a scouting dept, a coaching structure and a boardroom In harmony and was supportive I think it would spill out on the field as well.

No manager will ever be good enough for rangers fans they are actually moaning faced gits. Before matches have even started they are shouting abuse at players. No wonder half of them don't want to be here

the downward spiral all started when McCoist blew the 15 point lead over Celtic, . It's a no brainer!!

Did you say limited budget? 2nd biggest budget in Scotland he had at his disposal, every player he signed deteriorated under his fantastic coaching ability, law, Shiels, daly, boyd, Templeton, Clarke, and even the much maligned black all become worse players under him

Looks like a done deal - Warburton and Weir

Noddy, if you don't mind me asking mate, who told you that its a done deal for mark warburton & davie weir becoming the new rangers management team mate?

Again I find myself in total agreement with what hooly 78 has posted above, great reply my friend & very good post, plenty of reasons why mccoist shouldn't be back as manager, a good in depth answer!

The thought of ally taking over again even till the end of the season gives me the boak, what's the point, why put him back in, Kenny is having the same effect on the team and he hates being in the job ffs time for change.I would have Davie Weir and Neil McCann if possible.I understand it might be hard to get them right now butin the long term iI think they would be a perfect fit for us.

He did indeed have a limited budget. He might have had the second biggest budget in scotland but this is in terms of wages only.

Ally had no money to actually buy players so the only option was free signings and low cost players. Only celtic has the budget to provide what we Rangers fans expect. So having this limited budget he decided to go out and recruit proven top level players, which makes sense to me.

Then when they come to rangers we find them deteriorating and becoming further away from top level players every passing game. You can't "coach" good players bad. A good player will always be a good player the only other variables would be confidence, the squads harmony he is playing in, the other ayers in the team and the tactics. I have already said his tactics left a lot to be desired but what wae can you do when you have a team that's more scared of losing the ball than confident of keeping it?

I don't think for one moment ally is the best manager in Rangers history. I just think he hasn't had a chance under normal circumstances. These players got sucked into Rangers decline and are in a rut. mcD also finds himself under the hammer. Don't forget when he took the reigns the club had lost it's cement holding it together since admin, but also their best player (Macleod) when Macleod was injured last season they had the same slump in form (albeit we had a big enough gap and we were still scraping points)

Another point, ally McCoist did lose that famous gap to celtic. He gained it when we were not in administration and blew it when we were.
So ally didn't have a big a budget to go out and strengthen his team with your cifti's, Stuart armstrongs and Gary MS's.
