Unbowed Nancy does not fear being fired however supporters unleash wrath following loss.
Wilfried Nancy stated he did not fear dismissal, maintaining, “The team is extremely close to things turning around,” despite moving dangerously close to the chopping block with a comprehensive setback against Rangers.
Another Meltdown Sees Derby Disaster
The Hoops were in front the visitors at half-time but a collapse after the break allowed Danny Röhl’s team to move level on points with the reigning league title holders. Nancy, who was brought in from the MLS, has now presided over six defeats in his first eight matches.
“There is unity with the board,” stated Nancy.
Asked directly about whether he was concerned, he replied: “It’s not on my mind. I concentrate on finding ways to aid my players to be good on details.
Supporters' Anger Outside Parkhead
The fans voiced their fury – directed at the dugout and directors – by gathering at full time. Club directors are thought to be considering to return to the interim manager, who had a fruitful caretaker period last year, should a change be made.
“The outcomes [that leads to pressure]. And that’s the reality for the moment. But when I say this is the reality, it doesn’t mean that I am giving up. Absolutely not. What I mean the turnaround is near, really, really close to change the narrative.”
Nancy’s Persistent Belief
Nancy remains focused on the fact his team play well for one half at a time. In fact, but for poor finishing they would have been better than 1-0 up. “I saw enough aside from the fact that we didn't take more goals,” he said. “I acknowledge that we lost, but it's important to stay objective.
“The level we had at stages was exceptionally high. That is a fact. I could not speak so positively if it was not the case. Therefore, in terms of results, I noted we've seen this before. That’s why I feel a change is coming to getting it right. Right now: the fine margins.”
“I saw many, many good things that we did, once more. The issue now comes down to sustaining it. My narrative would not be the same. This is why I am convinced the team can to fix this.”
The Rangers Boss Response
The victorious boss was cautious about a championship push despite what felt like a statement victory. “We take it game by game, so we can really build up a challenge,” he said. “The belief in the squad is immense.”
