Derek McInnes (tells Sevco to bolt)/Next The Rangers Manager Thread

[WhileTheChief..]

I wonder if Rangers think any of their fans believe this kinda nonsense any more? Their statements get worse and worse with time.

Regarding McInnes, I think he was just trolling them all along and was never going to go there. He’ll get a cracking reception when they visit Dundee tomorrow despite what some of their fans are saying on the forums. I think he’s played a blinder.

They do though, that’s the incredible thing. They lap this nonsense up.

[Cabbage East]

They aren’t the sharpest.

[Dalianwanda]

What a roller coaster of a day you've had!

‘till at least the end of the year” - doubt they will pay up on that!?

[theonlywayisup]

I have nothing but the utmost respect for Derek McInnes.

[bingo70]

‘till at least the end of the year” - doubt they will pay up on that!?

Needs to manage for 8 games before the bookies pay out as the next manager, he can’t be far off that already?

(Apologies if that’s not the point you were making)

Yeah i basically wasn’t sure if i could claim. Didn’t know about 8 game rule so he’s gonna make that (if he hasn’t already)..thanks!

Don’t take that as gospel as I’m no expert. Sure that’s what they were saying when there was the prospect of Malky Mackay getting the scotland job though so I assume it’s the same rules.

[majorhibs]

He's right.

2 years there and a cup or 2 he can go back down South. He's also a hun. He will be rangers manager tomorrow which is unfortunate because I've always admired him as a player and manager since Alan McGraw told his story. In fact when Mcinnes left Morton McGraw predicted he would manage rangers one day.

He will be appointed tomorrow.

Sure :rolleyes:

[Diclonius]

This has come off great for us.

Aberdeen have been totally destabilised by this and will take a while to recover.

Rangers STILL don't have a manager and the uncertainty is reflected on the pitch. It's clear they have no game plan.

We simply HAVE to take advantage of this by beating the pair of them in the coming weeks.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Just had a look at Follow Follow, and, in fairness, most of them aren't buying that statement at all but are calling Rangers a shambles. Lots of 'whit the **** dis concomitant mean' though. :greengrin

[majorhibs]

God this is so sad and pathetic. They are playing that old imperialist Bill Struth pompous supremacist card, but it now seems so old and ridiculous as to be way beyond caricature. They should sack Traynor. He's obviously a mole put there to embarrass them. Or just an alcohol-soaked oaf. Whatever, he has to go.

Let's just be realistic wi alcohol stained oaf!

[matty_f]

That statement is a hoot. They're determined to string out the banter years as long as possible.

Hang on in there.

Although I hope we gub them and make Murty's job untenable.

[mjh]

Don’t take that as gospel as I’m no expert. Sure that’s what they were saying when there was the prospect of Malky Mackay getting the scotland job though so I assume it’s the same rules.

It’s different with different bookies - for some it’s 10 games and Murty is no assured of only 9 by end of year

[majorhibs]

In a weird way, the huns are sort of my favourite team. I mean, i hate them, but i love what they do and how it makes me feel. They are just such a hoot to behold. I don't love them, but i love the way they are, it's magnificent :faf:

Your on it there! Hate them but what fun they are! Needs a song, like U2, can't live with or without you, newco 5 yrs, hate you cos your sevco, but couldn't imagine living without your current entertainment value. Or something along they lines!

[snooky]

The word Concomitant has never been googled so much either. (Not by me obviously ��)

Me neither however, I still dinny see what salt and pepper has got to do with this. :dunno:

That statement is truly a thing of wonder and beauty; it is so lacking in class and dignity as to defy belief.

It is kindergarten level at best:

Child A invites Child B (most popular in class) to his 3rd birthday party and tells the whole class Child B will be coming.

Child B declines the invite.

Child A releases a statement saying Child B is horrible and smelly and I never wanted him to come to my party anyway.

The best thing is that any half-decent managers out there that might have had lingering thoughts of taking the job will run a mile now.

They didn’t look uncertain on the pitch in the last two games.Quite the reverse.

The Rangers board hold emergency meeting on how to proceed:

[mjhibby]

If they don't have anyone in place by next week then all the better for Hibs.

Murty has had two great wins but lets not forget he's lost to Dundee and Hamilton. All to play for.

I doubt they will get a manager in the next few days. Game was already going to be good now its going to be a cracker. Be interesting to see how the dons do with McInnes not leaving. They better be in the hunt for second or those pandrops will be rustled with a load of vigour followed by a lot of vitriol. In some ways it's clever by McInnes but on the other hand he's put a huge amount of pressure on himself.

[Topographic Hibby]

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

That official statement is delusional. I would be surprised if the Rangers fans buy that one.

[Walter]

The dignity of Her Majesty's Rangers. Basically saying McInnes doesn't have the bottle to take on the challenge. Desperately trying to save face -

'THERE has been a great deal of media speculation regarding the appointment of a new manager. We assure all supporters that they will be the first to know when we are certain we have someone with the correct qualities required by our club.


The Chairman made it clear at the AGM that the club did not consider there to be an outstanding candidate among those who had applied for the position and the club was therefore considering managers currently under contract. This requires permission from their present clubs.

The position of Rangers manager requires an ability to win football matches and the mentality to cope with the demanding off-pitch environment that goes with being the Rangers manager. This is a critical aspect of our assessment of any candidate during the interview process.

After the two games against Aberdeen, we requested permission to engage with their manager to assess his readiness and willingness to consider the Rangers position. This was declined. We were subsequently made aware by Aberdeen’s statement that, at this stage in his career, it would be best for him to remain in his current post. We endorse that position because moving to a massive club like Rangers is a big step with concomitant risk. We continue to consider candidates but will only appoint someone in whom we have full confidence and who feels he is ready for the job.

In the meantime, we have great confidence in Graeme Murty, who will continue as interim manager at least until the end of the year. The manner in which he has approached this task is a credit to himself and the club'.

The perfect analogy. :not worth

[Coco Bryce]

Must admit I didn't really think McInnes would be interested in working under a DOF.

Always comes across as an old school manager that like to be in charge of all, day to day issues with the team.

That and the fact he's probably been offered a fair whack by Milne to stay.

Looked it up in the Dictionary snd still Nae idea what it means ,but the word Stress appeared ,and am guessing that as well as Football knowledge Man Management Skills etc The successful candidate h as also to be able to show they can do all that ,but also deal with the Stressfull Enviroment that is Ibrox ,under the current Regime ,and make all thier Delusional Fantasies come true in the next three years .
But in the mean time we will leave the youth coach to deal with all the **** to save more money and hope Santa delivers someone who is concomitant

It's straight out the Trump playbook & they're addressing an audience with the same level of intellect, even concomitant! ��

They will be paying out on Murty as I think most bookies pay out if a manager is in charge for 9 consecutive games.

I was only joking about the baws.

I don't actually want them.

Lets thing of something else. I like winegums.

Well wined yer gums roond this!

[ancient hibee]

Don’t think it’s been mentioned in the media but surely it’s obvious that Rangers could not make a move for McInnes until the Pedro financial situation was rectified.It’s no coincidence that once it was announced he had a job they lurched into action.Clearly they have no money and reckoned they could take the cheapskate route and then McInnes would bite their hand off.

[Caversham Green]

Reminds me of a time when a similarly names but now defunct club were told to bolt by both Alex Ferguson and Jim McLean. I think they turned to Jungle Jock Wallace back then

IIRC Souness was the third choice who actually took the job.

I also remember hearing that McLean's assistant was gutted when Jim knocked them back - anyone remember the assistant's name?

[Caversham Green]

Correct.

[AndyM_1875]

Also worth remembering that Eddie Turnbull knocked them back as well.

Not sure if he was Aberdeen or Hibs manager at the time but the great man informed Rangers directors in his usual style that he would not be dictated to as to who he could sign and that a player's family background or schooling was irrelevant. Any football director attempting to veto his signings could pick how they left the room, either by the door or through the window.

I believe that the meeting was over at that point.:greengrin

[midfield_maestro]

The answer was resign, we will pay your £800k that it’s costs for breaching contract and we will pay you the £800k to cover it.....................when we have it we will sign it over you you Derek.........Derek....... you still there.......cmon Derek.......... we ur the peeple mind!!!

Agree, it was a version of this - hence McInnes's "I wasn't prepared to walk away".

I also remember hearing that McLean's assistant was gutted when Jim knocked them back - anyone remember the assistant's name?

Ferguson and McLean turned down the job in 1983 after John Greig left - they ended up giving the job back to Wallace. Souness got the job in 1986, and was their prime target. It was a big coup at the time.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

They have a random poem on bears den from the vanguard bears implying that McInnes wasn't to take Doherty with him. Strange folk

I stand corrected.

Strange though, I'm sure I remember dismissing Souness as their third choice at the time - maybe we only regarded Wallace as a caretaker type manager.

[Kavinho]

That's PP online paid out on my Murty bet.

[Dashing Bob S]

This has come off great for us.

Aberdeen have been totally destabilised by this and will take a while to recover.

Rangers STILL don't have a manager and the uncertainty is reflected on the pitch. It's clear they have no game plan.

We simply HAVE to take advantage of this by beating the pair of them in the coming weeks.

I'd like to see us draw both games 1-1 after conceding a soft late goal and squandering many chances.

[Superfurry72]

I stand corrected.

Strange though, I'm sure I remember dismissing Souness as their third choice at the time - maybe we only regarded Wallace as a caretaker type manager.

I see what you mean - it’s fairly clear they would definitely have gone for Ferguson in an ideal world. By that time he had already turned them down, probably made it quite clear he wanted to manage in England and was also caretaker Scotland boss!

[snooky]

IIRC, as a player, Rangers tried to ruin Fergie's career by demoting him to the 3rd team because he got married to a 'non-Rangers' person. I don't think he ever forgave them for that. Probably the main reason he never went to Ibrox as a manager (however, that's just my assumption).
Apparently, while at Man United he had a sign on his office door that said "I'm fi' Govan"

[McHibby]

If they want a successful, Scottish manager, one who knows the game up here and has a track record of winning trophies, then there is an obvious candidate. And yet, weirdly, they seem to ignore Neil Lennon....



Well, Lennon appears to have rectified that somewhat. I'm not very impressed with this.


https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/1948271/neil-lennon-derek-mcinnes-rangers-aberdeen-ibrox-job/

McInnes was*Gers’*No 1 choice for the job but he shocked everyone by electing to stay at Pittodrie.

And*Hibees*gaffer Lenny admits he was surprised at Del’s decision.

He told BT Sport: “I’m very surprised Derek has turned it down. There must be real mitigating circumstances for him to do that.

Del decided to stay at Dons

“It’s a sign of the times that Rangers can’t lure another manager from another Scottish club, apart from Celtic obviously.

“I don’t know. For me it’s the second-biggest club in Scotland, one of the biggest in Britain.

And asked by Chris Sutton if he would have turned down the job in Del’s position, Lennon said: “No, that’s my honest opinion.

“You look at what the board did for Caixinha in the summer – they gave him ten or eleven million to spend. There is no one else who has that power apart from Celtic.

“I think they backed Caixinha. OK it’s not worked out for him. But someone coming in there now, Rangers sitting in second place, I think it’s good time to go in there and be the manager.”

I see dry, sarcastic humour in Lennon's reply as he's safe in the knowledge that he'll never get offered that job - mentioning all the millions they've spent but reminding them that they are still only second !

[Famous Fiver]

If Rangers lose today, in view of Stewart Milne's reported comment that he would not have stood in McInnes's way, what are the chances of the rangers going back in for McInnes?

What big word would cover that?

He was brought up in Govan.Sure you’re right re his wife.Willie Allison moved from the Sunday Post to be Rangers PR.He told Ferguson he was finished at Ibrox if he married a Catholic.

I was walking through Braidburn Valley Park this afternoon and saw two boys coming towards me. The smaller of the two was on a skateboard and the bigger one pushed him off and grabbed it. Their mother shouted to the big one to give it back whereupon the boy threw it violently on the ground as if to say that he never wanted it in the first place.

i was tempted to ask the boy if he was called Dave.

He was brought up in Govan.Sure you’re right re his wife.Willie Allison moved from the Sunday Post to be Rangers PR.He told Ferguson he was finished at Ibrox if he married a Catholic.
That's how I remember it AH. That's the reason I grew up in the 60s and beyond hating that club. They've been forced to change that attitude a bit over the years but I'm sure there's still some lurking within the club who hanker for their "good old days".

I recall a journalist trying to trap Stein by asking if there were 2 identical players, one catholic and the other Protestant which one would you sign? His reply "the Protestant, because I could always go back for the catholic later". Brilliant response.

Still, one thing I do thank that club for. I know very well fans of almost all premiership clubs and hatred of them unites us. Anything that brings fans together for however short a tiime can only be good. 😀

The Herald have desperately tried to placate The Rangers over the weekend and blame McInnes for a late change of heart, but plenty of others have mocked them for their CLUB STATEMENT.

The Rangers have made fools of themselves. Even many of their own are cringing.
