I have been saying it for weeks and getting shot down. Martin (The scottish Pep) Martindale will be our next manager. He is a shoe in.
The guy is a magician in what he can do with a shoestring budget. Imagine what he can do with a bootstring budget. Pep Martindale for me all day long. I am hearing it is a done deal too.

Heard ibrox is going to be changed to the Toni macaroni arena to make him feel more at home and to get him settled quickly as well.

Don't you think we should be looking a wee bit bigger than David Martindale as manager of rangers battle 0-0 draws don't win you titles we should be looking for better standard of manager than him sorry.

JB

If Martindale is a magician, he may be able to bring David Blaine, Derren Brown, Tommy Cooper, Penn and Teller and an old fav of mines Ali Bongo in as his backroom staff.
The guy we really need is Harry Houdini as manager as he got out from many tight spots in his career so hopefully Gio can contact him via a seance and get some decent advice.

Livingstone are 4th, operating on a budget that's less than Conor Goldson wages. They have won 3 games more than them. We are the same amout of points ahead of them as the other mob are with us.
Thats magical for that budget. The guy is a wizard. I honestly believe he is an elite level manager in the making. This is our chance to get him before one of the English premiership sides do.

Martindale? is that the vision. He parks the bus then he’s on rangers list, don’t think so.

We need pedigree in the team and coaching .

the ignorance and snobbery of some gers fans is legendary

martindale is a fantastic coach who will go onto a great job very soon, mark my words, he’s very highly regarded, this rangers bench is screaming out for a carbon cm believe me, we have a bench full of dutch

the dutch rarely mix well

martindale may never be a rangers boss, but he will definitely be a good boss, why, because he’s very talented

but i just cry when i hear people who know nothing at all about football putting another guys abilities down

we hate our own in this country, always have done

david is doing a far far better job than our boss that’s for sure.

Like what Martindale is doing - no question about his current form with Livi.
I feel that Gers job is just too big a jump at present and feel that DM could do a job for an Ipswich/ Sheff Wed level club.
Hope he gets a chance somewhere - just not Ibrox at present.
We need a proven man manager at higher level - just my opinion.

I know folk want a big name n stuff and i get why, cause we are a massive club, but sometimes the big elite names don't work, martindale is doing a great job here where we play so i do see the sence in it and what toms saying, who heard of postcoglu, but look what he's doing and achieving, people wanted gio, cause he's ex ger and a big name, but its not clicking together for him if and when gio leaves its a big pay out because of he's a big name and have too teminate his contract early same if we got another big name and it doesn'twork out, we could go for a big name on big bucks but it doesn't work

Martindale wouldn't command a large fee n would be a lower risk

And he might turn things around
He might not

Everything is a risk guys you just never know unless you try especially in Scotland, managers don't get a lot of time.

I agree @BLUEDREAMER give the Scottish Pep a crack at the whip. League is lost. let's see what the wee man can do. 500k a year to start off with and then when he turns it around we can tie him down to a bigger deal. The guy is right out the top drawer.

i just have a strong belief we would see an entirely different rangers team if they put david martindale in charge for the rest of season,

aaron, our manager plays for nil nil draws, not martindale, have you any idea of the job he’s done, ?

i’m not saying i want him for boss, i’m saying he’s a great coach and potentially a great manager, he knows how to get the best from players, gio doesn’t unfortunately.

I met Martindale when I was doing my coaching badges.

I'm honest enough to admit that I had a preconceived idea of what he would be like based on his background - however I was blown away by the Guy!

He wouldn't be top of my list, but I'd have him over a lot of the other rumours I've heard.

Aaron - - nearly everybody is wee bit bigger than wee Davie fae Craigshill!
However his man management cannot be questioned - he has had to lose and add 3 or 4 players every year from his Livi team and has them running through doors for him.
we could do with a bit of that as well as organisation again what he excels at - - instead of the mayhem we are having to watch every week.
Apologies if i'm upsetting anyone - am a bit raw with our performances the last 3 months!

22.) 14 Nov 2022
14 Nov 2022 16:49:07
I would love to give a good smaller team coach a chance but the players would not respect him you need someone with pedigree that's done stuff in game but more importantly need the right personality maybe the gio thing is a Dutch thing they don't seem to get on with English players at all.

Too many English players is our problem now cliques and English are notorious for not getting on with or respecting foreign managers.

I agree TT12 that david martindale is doing a fantastic job at livingston with a very small budget and is a very good coach and a terrific motivator who's players would run through brick walls for him ?He's an outstanding man manager of that there's no doubt ?
I'd have martindale at rangers before a helluva lot of the names mentioned and that we're being linked with, as possible replacements for gio ? I've continually said to a couple of hibs fans i know that they should have appointed martindale as their new manager long before shaun maloney or now lee johnson ? It's only a matter of time before martindale goes on to a much bigger job than livi and no disrespect to livi intended when i say that ?He could easily manage a hearts, hibs, aberdeen etc.

iheard . i havnt seen you post one positive, or even friendly thing since you popped up recently, i would bore myself to deat if all i could do was post 3 childlike emojis . then think i'm so clever i'm laughing at everyone else on here . sadl;y son, its you whos being ignored, apart from me obvs .

gofor, its a fallacy that players don't respect a manager who hasn't reached the status they have themselves, the ones who are like that tend to learn very quickly who is the boss and often embarrass themselves

players have a sixth sense of who is the real deal on the training ground, and learn to respect accordingly, its not difficult to suss out when your boss knows a lot more about the game than you do, so i would have no worries on that score mate.

25.) 14 Nov 2022
14 nov 2022 19:31:49
if every club only wanted someone with "pedigree" the management game would disintegrate

players very quickly respect others who know what they're talking about, and often more so than a guy who just came off the pitch playing for a big club . and who is clearly out of his depth . players aren't daft, they know when someone is going places and they want to go along.

To many English players you can’t just blame people because of they were born across the border we’ve had some amazing English players in our time.

Martindale is bluenose Remember the Tim’s going mad because he said tav does what tav does because he scored a free kick against them seems he’s a bigger fan of tav than some on here. If martindale was rangers manager some wouldn’t get there wish of tav being stripped or dropped because he always praises tav.

If it's martingale, think of the money he'll save the club.

We can get rid of the groundsmen, the caterers, and he might just finish off Edminson house.

Too be honest, if the board where thinking of letting gio go, why not give Martindale a crack at it he won't cost much n be low risk if dosent work out ie, no large settlement pay off, or even if it is too be another manager , in my opinion Martindale, i think he has the kind of personality, that could do well at Rangers, and as it stands if, at this moment in time, would be ideal for him through the break too get too know the players n likes around him, implement his stamp on things before the jan window, then he or other manager sees what he dose n doesn't like, and can use jan window too put their own influence into the team, and get rid of what v they don't want, who knows he could get the likes of morelos and kent, working their socks of and back too their best, good coachs can, but without a chanc we will never know.

He is a good manager don't get me wrong but diff is at teams like livi you get time to build and people don't notice when you finish bottom half tables then develope team over a few years you don't get that time at bigger clubs.
