Edin Terzic - 1x DFB pokal, Champions League runner up
Not good enough
Reason - Foreigner
Marco Rose - 1x DFB Pokal, 1 x Austrian Bundesliga, 1 x Austrian cup
Not good enough
Reason - Foreigner
Steven Gerrard - 1x Scottish premiership
Good enough
Reason - British
That friends is the definition of xenophobia.
Try tell me I am misunderstanding.
Gerrard not good enough to hold the tactics chart for these two.
I will ask once more.
Where would British clubs be without foreigners whether that be players, managers or owners.
26 Apr 2025 19:38:40
Asa who said terzic or rose aren't good enough? I'd prefer terzic but either would be superb.
26 Apr 2025 19:40:43
Asa please don't allow comments from 1 or 2 people to be views of the majority. Ignore them mate they don't represent me.
26 Apr 2025 19:43:38
One Walter I always respect you my friend and most other contributors are respectful to all nationalities.
26 Apr 2025 19:45:14
Very disrespectful comment about our title
Winning manager Asa.
26 Apr 2025 19:46:30
Being a foreign coach, manager, owner is not an indication of ability to do a job, neither is being British, but to set one above the other just due to nationality and not due to talent is wrong.
Asa I think your a fantastic addition to our site bud and I'd welcome your input anytime, i'd support your input if you were a martian? bud, you are most very welcome valued member in my eyes. ?.
26 Apr 2025 19:52:00
Not quite sure where this is all coming from Asa. Xenophobia is a dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries. I don't see any of that on this form at all. As I said in another post its not Xenophobic to say having a Scottish or British Rangers manager as they may have an adantage with regards to overseas mangers as they know the Bitish or Scottish game, enviroment, scene expectations better. that's all built into the recruitment strategy and some factors will outweigh others but you have to look at a candidate armoury in detail and local knowleged is part of that and could swinge it in any job in any walk of life. In a perfect sceanrio Would I like a local Rangers suporting laddy to come though the Rangers ranks and become the Rangers manager and win title after tile yes of course why wouldn't I however if that wasn't going to happen I would have anyone as long as they win.
26 Apr 2025 19:54:24
It's not xenophobia to say foreign managers don't work. We've had two managers from abroad in the past five four years who couldn't beat Ross county at mirren et. Just because your offended doesn't mean you are right!
26 Apr 2025 20:00:33
Asa we have had a few foreign managers recently who have totally crashed in dealing with the unique challenges in the SPL maybe that's why some are against another name that might come in and have no impact like the double title winner from Belgium.
26 Apr 2025 20:03:24
Asa I know certain posters have pissed you off, but don't let them get to you as you know 99% of us ain't like that.
26 Apr 2025 20:05:13
First time poster long time reader. I love reading your input Asathor, but to call out xenophobia is a ridiculous statement. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. You have your views who should be getting the job just as others do. Just because you don't rate Gerrard and maybe others do doesn't mean you call it xenophobia!
26 Apr 2025 20:05:53
I logged onto the live chat today, but the game was so dire, I didn't bother posting and watched Yellowstone instead. Yip, I'm a cowboy now!
Anyway, what was said today that could be construed as being Xenophobic? Dod the poster state that he no longer wanted a European manager and we needed a British one? Or was it actually something derogatory?
26 Apr 2025 20:10:12
Who said that asathor? Some people just have different preferences mate. I think it's definitely the other way around when it comes to players, most prefer foreigners and that's ok. It doesn't where the manager comes from, if he wins titles he'll be loved by all.
26 Apr 2025 20:32:37
Asa, I have never asked to be on Liechtenstein as it cannot be regulated the way that the posts are. I saw in the comments that someone had a go, at you and them being called out as xenophobic.
I also seen someone saying too many foreign players who can't play in the SPL. I replied to that. Only one or two on here but that's too many imo. Most of us appreciate you on this site and the info you bring. Please don't let the one or two win.
26 Apr 2025 20:33:33
No disrespect just my opinion.
I do not believe Steven Gerrard is an elite football manager.
26 Apr 2025 20:34:04
Ignore the noise Asa. You are a great poster my friend. I am looking forward to next season. Lots to be excited about. Let's go ?.
26 Apr 2025 20:35:56
Totally, totally agree with your post Asa and absolutely bang on the money my friend ?I've said marco rose as you know mate but would be delighted also if it were edin terzic or roger schmidt etc as all these 3 german managers would be outstanding appointments for Rangers ?I just don't know who would not rate them or not want them because of their nationality ? totally with you Asa my friend ?.
26 Apr 2025 20:38:30
Your Rangers supporting local is currently toiling as one of the worst in history.
If people cannot understand that these comments amount to xenophobia then I cannot educate them further.
I am offended yes. I am a foreigner.
Why can't anyone answer the question I asked?
Simple question.
26 Apr 2025 20:44:12
Asa the difference is gerrard has done it up here. 1 out of 9 or not. It was the main one, the league. No success is guaranteed by bringing in a foreign or British coach. Put clements achievements up prior to coming. Where is he? Means nothing. Anyone who gets the job it's a clean slate. You could bring Zidane. Look what he done. Doesn't mean he will come to Rangers and win the European cup.
26 Apr 2025 20:56:30
It's easy for me to say Asa, but don't let it get to you.
Our club has been enriched by the talents of Scots and non-Scots alike.
Vi står sammen.
26 Apr 2025 21:06:41
Asa I disagree I've not seen any xenophobia on here ie the hatred foreigner, none at all. Being offeneded is personal and just your own feelings. As a veteran and Brit I signed up for a set of values that include the right to lawfully offend anyone you want and would protect anyones point of view even if I disagreed.
26 Apr 2025 21:08:17
Where would Norway be with the British. German.
26 Apr 2025 21:09:40
I don't have anything against the german managers i'd welcome any of them, i also quite like stevie g but not overly keen for him to come back as want to move on. i don't think people wanting gerrard are xenophobic that's a silly word to be throwing round. rightly or wrongly people want a british manager because they believe it'll work best for the club based on previous results, not because they have anything against german people. same way people say they want more scottish players who have played in the league and know the league, it's not because propper is a foreigner they don't like him, it's because they think he's rubbish. the majority of people i've seen don't want gerrard anyway.
26 Apr 2025 21:12:44
Your question on where would British clubs be without foreigners whether that be players, managers or owners? Who knows as it's hypothetical nobody can give you the answer as there isn't a case now and hasn't been for years! it's not as if every British club that is foreign owned is successful. Neither do I care. I only want Rangers to be successful. I see it as a difference of opinion on who people want as manager and have their reasonings.
26 Apr 2025 21:19:10
EHL we do, and I will always cherish our friendship.
TJBB I will never forget the sacrifices made for freedom and I respect all nations.
To compare a fight against evil to this subject is very wrong indeed.
26 Apr 2025 21:33:19
Asa my firend. I have great respect for our Norwegian comrades my point was we made huge sacrifices on both sides so we could be free to offend each other and that is something I stand by more so than the easy virtue signaling stuff, just too much cancel culture these days we are loosing site of what freedom of speech means. Perhaps i'm going off topic but this subject, western democracy, is dear to me.
26 Apr 2025 21:35:47
ASA I don't mean that as a cheap dig mate, I just feel a wee bit more respect should be due to Gerrard than the way people speak about him.
You may well be correct as well mate he probably put won't be an elite manager, but just a wee bit of respect when referencing him wouldn't go amiss mate, not just you though. Plenty more on here as well with short memories.
26 Apr 2025 21:39:01
As do we all?.
26 Apr 2025 21:50:16
Asa it was yourslef that mentioned Xenophobia numerous times. This was something the Nazis were famous for and something together we were successful in stopping and would still be under. So to say we can't link our posts is disingenuous. I say again I've seen no Xenophobia on Rangers rumours/ banter. To answer your question where would we be without our euopepean investemnt in players, who knows prob worse off, dunno, Its why I said where would Norway be without the allies. Touché.
26 Apr 2025 22:35:22
Tjbb a little read of the history books please the russians were the ones who actually stopped the germans without them we won nothing we are a tiny little island with 0 man power compared to these other countries please please learn what really happened.
26 apr 2025 23:39:34
" your Rangers supporting local "
wow.
