Is this purely cost cutting or anyone heard otherwise?

He wants someone he knows in for the u20's. He has this vision of all ages playing the same way, don't think Durrant fits that. I would expect an ex/ current Watford or Brentford coach to come in.

As much as I love Duranty it's the right call it's time for new era across the board, I'll be wishing him every success in management, I feel he might be ally's no2 elsewhere nxt season.

If we want auchenhowie to progress we need someone who knows what they are doing . durrant wasnt the answer warburton is restructuring the whole youth system which was needed.

As much as I like him I'm delighted we are moving away from the jobs for the boys mentality at ibrox.

Good player for the club but he never enthused me as a coach.

sad to see a legend go but he will remain a legend and I think yous are right it was needed to implament the style and philosophy tha warburton and rangers fans want to see.

Think it's a good move. Our problem for years was having Ibrox littered with people like McCoist, Durrant and Durie. Cracking players but lucky if they could manage to cross the road themselves.

1) part of ally's management team who failed to spot young talent at ibrox ie Barrie McKay, Ryan Hardie etc so probably not the best choice for youth coach

2) Clean slate and warbs vision for the future

3) Results! U20s results haven't been good enough of late.

Onlyshow, jim stewart and billy kirkwood are the only 2 that will remain, durrant was one of my favourite players at rangers, great player, but maybe its the the end of the jobs for the booys stuff that's been happening in our wee country since the begining of time, and though ime sorry to see durrant leave its maybe a good thing, finally moving the club into the 21st century, time will tell eh.

I do not think it is cost cutting I think rightly so that MW and DW want their own people at all levels, especially coaches.
Durranty was and is a true blue it is sad, however no one person is bigger than the club and its well being.

Kevin 1984 agree with your 1st 2 points for sure with regards to the U20's results admitedly they were awful but I do think that we loaned half our squad out which adversly affected results.

I totally agree with rather than focussing on winning the league at U20 league Warbs focus is on improving these guys with Hardie, Jordan Thompson, Gasparotto et al and McKay in recent years all better players for their 1st team experience, will be interesting to see how Hardie and Thompson do next year in our squad, hopefully Warbs will loan out again if not making break through but Hardie in particular might be thereabouts.

Definitely don't think this is cost cutting, it is mentioned on this site Durrant is on £200k, if true I'm sure a decent replacement would cost at least the same.

I don't agree that ally was a bad manager he stuck with our team through the worst of times and had to scramble to put a team together within ten days! after that he wasn't just the manager he was our p. r. aswell and had to deal with rubbish from green and whyte.
I think given a chance ally with all his connections and knowlage of the game could be a good manager for some1.

fair enough his tactics weren't right at all but he will learn from that.

Bit harsh good men, Durrant was a true genius, I would love to have seen him develop, I think he was one of the best players I've ever seen at ibrox, people will never know how good Ian was, especially the young people, he was electric, dynamite in fact, and way ahead of his time, him coop and ally carried Rangers through the days after the dark times.

Good player, pish coach. Get somebody in who follows the same football philosophy as MW.

I think Warbs would like someone like Durrant at the Club who loves the place an could instil that mentality in the young boys, he's just came up short as a coach though, he was given a season and Warbs just doesn't rate him. We move on.
