2018

"Stevie, you must stop the 10, 8 and 9 don't matter so you wont be judged on them"

"Ok what about the cups?"

"They don't matter either, you don't need to worry about winning any, just that one trophy in 3 years will be fine"

I'm sure thats how it went, just no expectations of victory for 2 years then bam, a 33% success rate the third.

Hugely succesful
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He should have been told here is a 4 yr contract. within that time I want us to be an established team in europe again, I want the the club to have more valuable assets in terms of players at the club, I want us to get back to being the best team in the country.

done, done & done.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

And if you could manage it we also want Celtic fans to be deeply emotionally disturbed over the thought that the Rangers fans are happy with you and what you have done.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
oh yeah and do it with roughly half the amount of money ur rivals will be spending... you know cos money wins you leagues....ebts n that

Hes done a very good job over the piece, however should have won a couple more trophies.

He absolutely smashed it in the league last season when it really mattered the most, where the pressure was immense and his rivals were going for a historic league win.

And for that he has our thanks.

However please note we are a bit disappointed to only be four points ahead of celtic right now.

If u dont think he was meant to stop celtic getting a second 9 in a row then you're kidding yourself.

He hasnt had to deal with losing players and your finances have forever shown that, stability it not rangets speciality and they now rely on winning the league this year for that pot of gold at the end.

I taking a guess here cups would not be important to celtic fans if they could have got the 10.

But they are cast at gerrard

In terms of trophies his success rate is 11%

So basically he has done as good a job as Callum Davidson - no pressure to win trophies but managed to win anyway

My concern with GG is that he is schite.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I only its early doors but I am not seeing anything from him that makes me think yeah see him he is player ☹
----------------------------------------------------------------------
GG was top scorer in the Dutch league. Know who else did that? José Altidore. Sunderland bought him. He then scored 1(one) goal in 2 seasons there. Ajax, Feyenoord, et al didn't even bid for GG.

Tommy Burns won 1 trophy in 9
He brought Celtic back from a very very dark place, but ultimately failed to stop 9iar being equalled

Was he a failure as Celtic manager?
Not in my book he wasn't...your team under him was brilliant and far better than the dross under Brady and Macari

Stage 1 - stop 8 and win a cup

Crap okay

Stage 2 - stop 9 and win a cup

Aww ffs, fine

Stage 3 - stop 10, just dingy the cups.

Wohooo!!! A huge success, this was the plan the WHOLE time.

Rangers equalled 9 in a row and we won a single trophy in 9.

Now rangers had massive players at that time and jim farry cheatint like f... but ultimately yes, he should have won more.

That’s Howe appointed at Newcastle.

Have Rangers been asked by Villa to speak to Gerrard yet? They’ve a vacancy needs filling fairly quickly.

Albian Ajeti was top goalscorer in the Swiss league in 2018 was he not?

I dont think he will fit into Ange's style. His team needs to have movement and be sharp up to and that just doesnt seem like his game at all.

He looks like the typical target man, get goals from set pieces and hold up the ball. Do you think this was a Ange target ?

What if the 1 trophy he won was to stop the 9

Rangers equalled 9 in a row
————————————-
At the time.

Now their challenge is to beat the double 9iar. And the quad treble.

nope challenge for me this year is to win the league... he does that again im happy, cups are a bonus to me, some other bears may say he needs a cup this year, but this year I dont care if he puts all focus solely on the league. the money for winning the league is just too important for anything else to distract us this year IMO.

I don't think it matters what the fans know of Ange recent record we were talking about boards appointing managers on the back of previous roles

Ange was obviously picked for the fact he done an outstanding job with Austrailia then done a decent job in Japan I don't see Villa appointing Gerrard on the back of 1 good season in Scotland


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Id argue he has had more than one good season. One succesful season in terms of honours) but he improved that gers team week on week until he got them into a position where they could win go undefeated in the league and get to to the latter stages in europe (and thats here the a lot of clubs will be looking at his job in europe)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Id argue that every season he has been at rangers he has been good
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Seriously - do you really think he would have survived the end of the 2019-20 season the way rangers were playing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

He did survive it and without any real pressure to his job whatsoever.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Aye only cos the season was pulled on the weekend of the Glasgow Derby when even Rangers fans were expecting a total doing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Not sure any of us were expecting a doing and the season wasn't called then. There was zero pressure on Gerrard's job at any point other than some bizarre narrative some Celtic fans have made up to make themselves feel better.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Incredible revisionism
----------------------------------------------------------------------

What's the revisinism? I go to the games every week, there was no fan pressure. There was no board pressure. Who was it that was putting his job under pressure?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Zachsda
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And Bluebells.

He should win a cup this year but again - the league is the absolute priority.

If you were to offer me the league or both the cups this season then it wouldnt even be a choice. Its the league all day long.

Anyone who claims two cups is worth more than a league title is either a daftie, a St Johnstone fan or a Celtic fan.

Most probably two out the three actually.
