It was a monumental disaster of an appointment.
You just knew by late September/early October that season it was never going to work out.
To think the hype and atmosphere around PLG and the speculation of the targets we allegedly trying to sign but in reality it was few million on absolute duds.
Getting Walter Smith back was a masterstroke imo.
I went all in on Le Guen. Genuinely thought he was next level fantasy stuff.
Another fraud who came unprepared.
I remember going to Motherwell for the first game of the season and thinking, "Well, they are just finding their feet. It'll get better.". History says otherwise.
He's just another Caixinha.
I remember we were linked with Bastian Schweinsteiger and Johan Elmander that summer. We ended up with Sionko and N'Diaye.

We did okay in that game, but I get your point.I went all in on Le Guen. Genuinely thought he was next level fantasy stuff.

Every Rangers man I knew was delighted when Le Guen was appointed. He had an outstanding career up to that point and the fans had lost faith in McLeish. What is a mystery is his initial signings which were underwhelming to say the least. It's obvious with hindsight that Murray didn't give him any kind of reasonable budget to compete with the mentally challengeds. This could have been the start of his downfall and by November everybody could see he didn't want to be here.
One of the biggest let downs in our history. He was genuinely the best young coach in Europe at the time.
His career after Lyon showed he was a flash in the pan and just showed how good Lyon's structure was at the time.
Pics pleaseI was living in Lyon at the time of his appointment.
I was buzzing, certainly got that one wrong, bit like my ex french wife.
