I don't like the idea of our manager scooting of to Portugal for some course or other during the last 3 days of the transfer window and just leaving the transfers to our DOF.
I believe he should be here working on this until we have everyone over the line that he wants.
How many times have you heard a player say that it was the manager's vision for a club that convinces them! That's how we got Amo and Laudrup!

Is that not the point of this DoF to deal with transfers, brokering deals, and put a scouting system and youth structure in place, whilst Pedro can fully focus on the current 1st team players, making them the best that they can be? Besides, he's not just going on a Jolly back to Portugal, he's got a Uni Course to complete, these things are usually timetabled, so if its something he can squeeze in during the international break, and it benefits him and the team then so what.

I don't think any player has truly been bought by a "managers vision" That's just BS that they say to gullible journo's instead of saying "I'm here cause am paid to be here" The majority of legendary players that signed for us was down to the clubs stature and regular European football and the payslips. The love of the club comes later.

Maybe the 'university course' is a cover? For all we know he could actually be going to try and tie up a deal or two, but doesn't want to answer our media's stupid questions about it, so he's come up with the course as a smokescreen of sorts.

I am also pretty certain that if his trip has nothing to do with Rangers, he will have told Allen exactly who he wants to bring in and left it in his hands to go and tie the deals up. That is part of Allen's job as well after all.

Yeah I suppose that is Allens job etc. Just figure this is the worst 3 days to go away.

Blugenius, ever heard of phones? Conference calls? Skype etc? What don't you like about it? Is it because he's trying to improve himself and, in turn, Rangers? Is it because we have a highly competent DoF doing what he's paid to do? Ridiculous.

The manager doesn't do the negotiations. He will have told the DOF who he would like and will hope that he can get the deals over the line.

Sam you need to chill lad.
I know we can be in communication with him. I'm also all for him improving himself and therefore the club too. It's just the timing of this.
I am not one of the anti-Pedro crowd. I would just like all hands to the pump as it were if we are trying to bring people in. I don't think that is in anyway ridiculous!

The 'timing' is dictated by the course, I'm sure you understand that. As I say, ridiculous.
