Barry is impressed by anyone who is prepared to take on Souey but warns Clement will have to work fast.
First impressions first, I’ve got to say I’ve been impressed by what Philippe Clement has had to say for himself in his first few days as Rangers boss.
And believe me, anyone who can stand up to Graeme Souness and hold their own when he’s in full flow deserves serious consideration. I was really excited to sign for Souey when he asked me to join him at Ewood Park back in 2003. But he’s also been honest that sorting out the situation he’s inherited is no quick fix. It’s going to take time to rebuild Rangers in his own image but hopefully the squad will now get the plain instructions they need having looked lost this season.
Hiring an ex-player or certainly someone who has coached up here to his backroom team is something I fully agree with. It shows he’s not arrogant enough to think his methods will work regardless of the setting and that he’s willing to adapt.
