Fine lines.
Been thinking about the appointment of Steven Gerrard, the approach to Derek McInnes and the decision makers at the heart of Rangers FC.
At this moment, the appointment of Mark Allen as DoF looks shrewd and is starting to bear fruit. I think it's safe to say when we offered the managers role to McInnes, then it looked like it this was the complete opposite.
So what prompted that decision. Who made it? As things stand now then I cannot believe it was Mark Allen. Football is of course unlike any other industry and decisions can be made from the heart instead of from the head.
At that moment in time we were a car heading for a tree, a plane heading for a mountain and somebody thought getting McInnes from Aberdeen and parting with >£1m for the privilige was the way to go.
Who ultimately was that person? Or persons? What if McInnes had said YES? The very thought.
Lets forget about the Caixinha debacle as it has been dissected on here enough. It was a massive mistake of that there is no doubt. The Directors (or perhaps Director) took a punt on Red and it came up very, very Black.
What happened afterwards was Murty. Murty got that response that is quite common in football. A new manager bounce. He adopted the arm round the shoulder I'm your best mate tactic. And for a time, it worked.
I'd say 90% of people on here believed, me included, that Murty was merely the physical presence in the dugout and Walter was managing Rangers from his Comfy chair in Helensburgh. Right up to March 11th 2018 we all thought we had a genuine shot at the title. Nobody need reminding what happened that day.
Sitting in the stands that day was of course Steven Gerrard. Gerrard had visited Ibrox prior to that in his role as Liverpool youth coach in October. I'm pretty sure that on that Sunday in March, or prior to it, Steven Gerrard had been asked the question.
As above, by whom?
Whoever it was is the type of forward thinker that our club needs. Somebody who gets the type of Person required to lead Rangers. The person or persons who thought that Caixinha>>>>Murty>>>>McInnes was the way to go should be thanked for their support but asked to leave the table.
