Is it just me or does anyone feel that the club are being taken for a ride by Harry and his band of merry men?
Don't get me wrong Harry has a great number of positives, not least his ability to attract so called 'big name players' and his ability to raise the profile of the club above what our size probably determines. Despite this I cannot get the feeling that he doesn't really want to be at Rangers out of my mind.
I personally think the whole England thing really knocked him for six and made him disillusioned with the game. In a number of interviews he rightly questions the relationships between multi millionaire players and the ability of a manager to keep them disciplined as well as comments that he would've left had we not got promoted. All of which continue to paint the picture of a manager who is in a role that he is not enjoying. None of this really matters if it doesn't affect the players, but already there are a number of worrying signs that suggest to me that the players are not fully prepared. The total lack of tactical awareness from corners continues to be a severe problem, surely this is worked upon in detail in training. We really look like conceding at every one, players do not seem to be aware of their jobs.
The recent appointment of Hoddle has been called a master stroke in some quarters, but for me do we really need another coach 'to come in for a few days' and fit us in between his media commitments? It stinks of another job for the boys, and I feel that Fernandes and Beard are too starstruck of our 'Arry to question anything he does. What do Bond and Jordan do? The only time you hear from Bond is when Harry has disappeared sharpish and Bond has to reluctantly do the post match press conference.
To give him some credit he did a fantastic job of getting rid of the parasites that Hughes bought it and in someways it was a miraculous job in getting us promoted. Personally though Mclaren has to take a HUGE amount of credit for rebuilding the team spirit that was key in getting us back to the Prem. I think the squad we had post Bosignwa departure plus renewed team spirit, I could have taken us up.
It is very early days after all. I think that Christmas has to be a cut off point for us, if we are not in a reasonable position then I think we have to look for a keen young manager who has the hunger to be a success. For me I think that Harry's hunger has gone and that can only translate negatively to the players. All in all I hope I'm wrong.
