Of course by that time we may have gone 25 games unbeaten in the league which would change a lot of perceptions re Austin. Unlikely though imo but one can only hope. I just think the sooner we get someone in the sooner the uncertainty goes and we can crack on up the table. I agree though, if AM keeps winning as interim, the urgency disappears.

Big part of blame at tynie, zero credit for impact in same position with NI. Only on jkb And vice versa. Apparently zero blame at Tyney great job with NI. The truth lies, as always somewhere in the middle otherwise what have we been paying him for for 3 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mercer Takeover Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) If Macphee gets the managers job, Budge has to go. After the Levein debacle and the utter shambles of how he was given the job, it's finally time to get it right. It's quite clear that Macphee would be tarnished by his part in the Cathro and Levein legacy, irrelevant on how the team performs during this interim period. He will only ever be a couple of defeats away from the pitchforks being drawn again. There would be no honeymoon period and it is quite clear a portion of our support will never accept him. I still have faith Budge will finally do the right thing, although I have a niggling doubt that she will wait to long, the person lined up will get a better offer and we will get Macphee by default. That would turn us into a laughing stock. Edited November 23, 2019 by The Mercer Takeover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick witter Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 13 hours ago, Smith's right boot said: He had two days and half the team was missing. If that rangers team hadn't beaten that Hearts team, Gerrard should have Been sacked. I completely agree but the way that we set up and performed was nowhere near good enough. That’s not a go at Mcphee but I would always rather lose trying to score a goal at least than lose without even an attempt to attack. We concede goals in every game so why would you base your game plan on trying not to concede a goal?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely she will not be silly enough to appoint Mcphee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboAndrew Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 3 hours ago, Ernie Eskilsson said: He may not have run the team but he was on the touchline with Levein being regularly consulted re tactics and substitutions. I assume he was similarly involved in tactical and selection discussions pre-match. He’s a central part of the outgoing regime. I saw a huge change with team selection, set up and tactics vs st midden. The Killie game and the sevco game will tell us what sort of team he can set out and how they can play. If he wins both, what's not to like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Ibrox he will have been in charge for a few weeks. He will also have had a whole week to implement his game plan and tactics. If he makes it until then it’ll be interesting to see how we play.
