Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst opens up on sack talk
Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst has opened up on what it would feel like to be sacked as a manager and his current situation at Ibrox.
The Scottish giants are winning games domestically but their performances in doing so have been boring and bleak leading fans to boo the team against Dundee on Wednesday.
Van Bronckhorst admitted that if he were to be sacked he would be able to say he did “everything” he could to try and keep the team firing.
“Eventually the worst feeling is the moment you get sacked. If you haven’t been sacked as a coach, you can’t really prepare for that, when everything comes out,” said Van Bronckhorst as quoted by the Daily Record.
“Hopefully in my career, I’ll never get sacked. But if the day comes I need to make sure I can look in the mirror and know I did everything I could to overturn it.
“I’ve been in a bad situation with Feyenoord when we were not playing really well and having bad results. Now it’s a bit different. We’re still winning, but not in a convincing way over 90 minutes. But in spells of the games, the game play has been good.
“I think it’s a different situation. You’ll hear the crowd booing in the end so it’s a signal something hasn’t gone the proper way.”
Ominous
The more Van Bronckhorst comes out and speaks about a potential sacking, the more likely it seems that his job is under threat.
And you’d be silly not to think it really is, a bad result or poor showing against Livingston on Saturday could change the tide on the Dutchman completely.
It’s a tricky one though, Gers sits just two points off Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership yet they seem a million miles away on form and performances.
Domestically Van Bronckhorst has been getting the job done, but his stale tactics and lack of ambition in Europe have put a large red cross over his head.
Time is definitely running out and the Rangers support certainly isn’t backing Van Bronckhorst much further, it’s hard to see what can save him now.
Take the stabilizers off Gio, it’s now or never, it’s time to be ruthless, or your ship at Gers will be sailing into obscurity.
