I loved Stevie G but I don't want him back as I doubt he could manage with the current financial restrictions.

We need a manager who wins league titles first and foremost

Europe is just a bonus.

The one thing Gerrard would bring is the likelihood of pulling everyone in the one direction. Everyone would probably be behind him. Way more than they will ever be behind Clement. Managing Rangers is not easy. You need a certain set of characteristics. Not many people have them. Gerrard does.

Great post, and this point can't be made clearly enough.

That's what a lot come out with mate.

Clement won League titles though.

We need a manager who will commit to playing attacking football first and foremost.

A manager who will try firstly to get a winning team in Scotland and adapt it to Europe instead of vice versa.

No laughing at the back but we were lucky to get Clement. As in to get a winning league manager.

We're not getting anyone who has won a top five league. As Ewell as that though most tho have won other leagues will be hoovered up by teams with more money.
 
I dont want Gerrard back but I want a Gerrard type of person. He just “got it” and had the passion to get everyone up for the project. I don’t think Gio (who I still think should have got longer) or Clement are bad managers, but they just didn’t have what it took to play for the club. It’s the same as with players - some of the best players just don’t have what it takes to play for us, while players of limited ability with the passion get far more leeway with fans (Wright, McAusland or before that a Chris Burke or a Bob Malcolm) because they show passion and fight.

Did he get beat of Queen’s Park at Ibrox? Did we ever perform that badly?

He made rangers great again, show some respect

Did he win just one trophy in 10 and then flunk his next 2 jobs??? Stop talking like a fool. He isn’t the answer and one league win in the quiet of Covid apart, he wasn’t really the answer first time around either. No manager that wins only 10% of the trophies available to him deserves any real respect. That makes them a monumental failure at our club.
 
Yeah, had enough. Bring him back.

The clubs standards, and that of a lot of our support are in the gutter.

He’d drag us out that slump. Sadly but, he, like many of us see through this board.

We need a revolution
 
One of the things I appreciated most about Gerrard was his handling of the tinpot Scottish press. Clement and Beale both struggle to get their messages across in the press due to their literal interpretations of English, Beale had no stature and was a joke figure immediately. Gerrard couldn't be fucked with though because he's Steven Gerrard and most were petrified of him. He had the stature and gravitas in the game we needed despite the lack of experience. Whoever we get next needs to handle the press better.
 
I just want his passion back, someone who wants to win every week, someone who hates them.

Not seen a manager celebrate beating them with passion like him, and after he got his win over them we started to dominate them, beating them most times we played them.

Also the first old firm game this season, u seen Joe Hart in the tunnel, greeting the players (think it was after their warm up) looked like he hated us, got them right pumped up. Most time we play them their whole team look like they hate us.

We in the other hand just go out and play against them like its aberdeen or hibs, we give them respect, stand off them. If it wasnt for the fans l dont think our players would be that up for a fight.

Gerrards team wanted a fight, hit them hard in the tackle, complained to the refs, got the fans pumped up, played with a bit of aggression. U could tell he hurt when we dropped points. Phil seems to think its like belgium or france where a draw sometimes is a good result.

This is Correct.
Gerrard has a big set of Minerals that is without doubt.
 
Gerrard is a different type of manager to clement in a good way. He had passion and fired players up etc.

He’s not coming back now and reckon he will end up back in England now. A manager we needed at that time and he did the job.

The quiet of Covid..? You're right, it's not as if the tims were bothered about attaining the mythical Ten In A Row, eh...? Jesus F#ck, with friends like you...
 
I don’t know what it is with Rangers fans and looking backwards but it’s an obsession for many on here.

Steven Gerrard is not the answer. He abandoned us on the eve of a cup semi final and a vital European tie. For that reason alone he should never be considered for any return to Ibrox, now or in the future.

Secondly, as we have seen since he left us he is a poor manager. There is absolutely nothing in his time at Villa or Saudi to suggest he would be anything other than a complete flop. Anyone who thinks otherwise is simply fooling themselves. Even in his time with us he won one trophy out of nine and it can be argued we were on a downward spiral at the point he jumped ship. Yes, he won us a title but if we are honest he was up against one of the poorest Celtic sides in recent memory that year. His side was under no pressure and had a comfortable lead for most of the season.

Despite last weekend Clement deserves to see out this Europa League campaign and have his position assessed then. We also need to keep in mind that it is not just a question of paying off him and his staff but also finding the funds to support a new manager. I don’t think anyone of any quality would come near us without assurances of that.

You replied to me.

I’ve now read it three times and still don’t really know what you’re on about B-)

Replying from the boozer by any chance?!
 
As crap as we have been this season, we could all bit draw level with SG's points average over the first 2 seasons with a win tomorrow

I love S G, but he isn't yhe the answer.

Especially now that we are boracic.

I get what you’re saying and it’s true, BUT, I’d actually be fine with going back to Gerrard IF his trophy return and cup record wasn’t poor (poor is too kind a word for his cup record). If he hadn’t left like he did, if we hadn’t already regressed to being the side that regularly spills points in his final season, and if he’d at least shown some semblance of being a decent manager in his subsequent two jobs. Like I get why we all wanted to go back for Walter, it made complete sense. This doesn’t. He’s only been gone a few years and his tenure has been romanticised to a degree where it’s now basically 80% fiction.

So if I'm reading this post right you'd rather keep a manager on longer that's just been in charge for arguably the worst result in our entire history and you don't want the manager that won arguably our most important league title anywhere near the club.

He deserves nothing. Despite last weekend? What about the rest of the weekends that we've lost or drawn away from home?

Sheer stupidity.

If we swap Clement for Gerrard in the summer then I would almost guarantee things would improve.

A better manager 100% gets a better tune out of these players.

I believe getting Gerrard back would be like the return of Sir Walter.

By definition, hings will improve when we get the opportunity to get Cifuentes, Dowall, Lawrence, Davies et al off of our books.

We could replace half 9f our outfield with the commitments that we're 9bliged honour fir guys that rarely kick a ball for Rangers.

Just my opinion, and I know I will probably be on a minority, Phillipe Clement is a way better manager than Steven Gerrard currentlyin; and will ever be.

And I say that as someone who who loves

He's really not, did you miss the result last Sunday or our away form all season that's before you compare record in old firm games.

No you’re not reading it right. Clement hast go but this fawning selective memory of Gerard’s spell with us is just daft

Just differing opinions and is likely because he's currently available and has already won the league title with us. I'm also fairly certain that most fans enjoyed feeling confident going into old firm games as we've not had a manager that could beat them consistently since he left.
