Can fans explain why they want MW out the door before he's even had 6 months in the Scottish top flight?
Is it just so the formation gets changed from 4-3-3 to your personal favoured formation?
Would be an absolute ridiculous reason to give someone the boot. "He doesn't know how to change a game", "Doesn't make the right subs", "Too stubborn to change". Can understand these issues but is it enough to run the guy out the door considering its the most one sided the Scottish league has ever been whilst we've been in the top flight.
It's frustrating to draw to ST J at home and draw with RC away and the performances in both weren't of a great standard. It's our first season back and considering an entire first choice midfield has been injured or otherwise, maybe the fans and the club's goals should be reassessed.
Fans who say "What's he done to deserve the backing". Seriously?
They should look beyond their own stubbornness and think about that for themselves. It's in the club's best interest to keep the best man for the job.

What has he done? Serious question.
08 Nov 2016 17:21:31
How can you say he's the best man for the job? His record since semi last year is appaling! Were lucky hibs blew up as we stumbled over finish line, chucked away a cup final because we can't defend set pieces, we've made our worst start to a season in 30 odd year! His signings have been terrible or what's not required I. e too many midfielders when a blind man could see we needed 2 good cb and a quick prolific striker which we would have got for garner transfer fee. What in your opinion qualifies him as best man for job?
08 Nov 2016 17:59:10
His record is terrible he has the biggest budget outside them but his signings have been terrible the football is boring to watch the ball goes backwards sideways anyway but forward his system doesn't work team now press us high up the park and we can't deal with it trying to play it out from the back we give away possession and are under pressure we have a lot of possession but do nothing with it the RC keeper had not one save to make in the second half on Sun but we could have lost a couple in last ten mins so Thom 76 if you think he is the man you can't be watching the same game as me.
08 Nov 2016 18:10:57
As someone previously said what has he actually done? Won a 2nd rate league with a budget that dwarfed everyone else in the league, There was a bigger budget difference between us and the rest of the league than there is between us and Celtic and they are miles ahead of us already.
08 Nov 2016 18:34:51
That's the thing Biffo, it was a genuine question from me. The continued response to those Rangers fans questioning him is 'how well he has done', or 'how much he has achieved before now'. I genuinely don't know what it is they are referring to.
I see that whilst two people disagree with the question, they have no actual retort. That speaks volumes.
08 Nov 2016 18:43:47
See we're back on our regular tack of Warburton bashing on every available post, eh Biffo. Nobody is saying you're not entitled to your opinion but I for one am still waiting for an answer to my question of last night. If he is not the answer, who realistically is and why? Whoever it is will likely have little money for new players given we will be paying Barton off and would have to pay MW and probably big Davie if they were sacked. So whoever it is would be working with the same group of under performing, inconsistent players. So still like to hear your alternative, Biffo.
08 Nov 2016 18:56:11
But also Liverpool ger, none of you will answer. What in your opinion makes you think he is the right man? Considering all results up to now? I answered why I think he is not the right man, now I'd like to know from you why u think he is the man to take us forward?
08 Nov 2016 19:45:08
He's not just the right man to take us forward, he's the only man.
Folk arguing he shouldn't get more time are the exact folk greeting there eyes out when there were rumblings at the start of pre season he might be for the off, because of what happened after the cup final.
He's should stay at the club for the foreseeable future because he's built a competitive squad from scratch, won us a seriously competitive championship, got us to a cup final, beaten the top team in the country in a SF, added a decent blend of youth and experience, has been ambitious in the signings he's made and because it's only been 12 games in. Most would have been delighted with second at the start of the season and we are one point off of that position just now.
Some fans have to grow up.
08 Nov 2016 19:46:05
Liverpool Ger argument is all about who else could we get. That speaks volumes for the job he is doing he can't come on and say he has done this or that but rather he wants him to stay in the job as there are no alternatives. The results and performances are terrible, Warburton has failed to get 2 decent centre halves and we keep losing the same goals. The players aren't fit enough with some namely McKay and Waghorn looking uninterested and contributing next to nothing.

Who were the people who were greeting their eyes out as you put it when they thought he might be away in the summer? As for being competitive yeah they are against the Ross Counties and Kilmarnocks however given the budget at his disposal I would expect better. Won a seriously competitive league lol. We won a 2nd rate league. Kilmarnock who were woeful last year brushed aside Falkirk comfortably in the play offs.
08 Nov 2016 20:24:00
Big blue ayr, if you've read my recent posts I don't know if he is the right man in the long term but am willing to give him the season to try and prove it. Yet again thoughI'll say if he isn't how the club deals with the fall-out of his sacking (financially) is a real factor and I note neither you nor Biffo have come up with any realistic, viable alternative who would do any better. If you can't I would say you're stuck with MW and like me hoping and praying that he will defy your expectations and manage us through to a reasonable 2nd place at the end of the season even if that doesn't seem that likely right now.
08 Nov 2016 20:41:15
So what people are saying then is, this is just a statistics game and because we have a bigger wage budget and transfer budget, "dwarfs anyone else in the league apart from Celtic", we should be beating every team in the league by fours and fives because our budget is four and five times theres.
Really? We had a torrid time getting back to the top league. We have a manager every single Rangers fan to a man last season, claimed him to be the next big thing, England manager in the future, every job linked with down south and so on.
The teams in this league may not have our budget but what they do have is experience of this league. None of our regular 11 at season start, apart from Miller and Wallace even played in this league before.
As for who was greeting there eyes out. Believe me, had MW left at the start of the season, Gers fans wouldn't have known what to do with themselves and thought the club had made a huge mistake in letting him go. What a difference a day makes eh?

Saying that the Championship wasn't competitive is just bizzare.
Hibs won the Scottish Cup Final and finished third in the championship.

The league also contained Alloa, Dumbarton, Livingston, Cowdenbeath and Morton hardly the cream of Scottish football. Any team can reach a cup final seem to remember Millwall getting there a few years ago. To try and say the 2nd tier of Scottish football is competitive is laughable. The top league in Scotland is considered a back water so the 2nd tier is even worse.

The cup final, and beating Celtic in the semi-final, has been massively blown out of proportion.
For example, Celtic were beaten in the league cup semi-final that same year by Ross County.
The only difference is they went on to win their final against Hibs.

Well common bigblue ayr, let's have it, who's the best man for the rangers manager's job? I'm sick saying this, judge warbs at the end of the season (may), the season doesn't finish in november and never has done. Honestly get a grip and give warbs the full season. Some of our own supporters are really unbelievable! It's going to take time, look where we've been for 4 years!
09 Nov 2016 21:38:25
Liverpool Ger, honestly mate you'd be as well talking to the wall than those 2 (bigblue ayr and biffo) . Negative to describe these 2 is a total understatement! They ask other posters for alternatives ie. what has warbs done but like yourself mate when you ask them who they'd want to be the rangers manager they come up with nowt!
