But if he goes to Rangers after allegedly turning down Burnley, I don't really get it.
Makes sense to me.
Go to a team leading a 2 horse race for the league title, Lower standard so can stand out more (aging players can do bits in Scotland, see Defoe last year), win 90% of your games while, be managed by Giovanni Van Bronckhorst, if he wanted to stay the winners of the SPL go straight into the CL group stage next season so there's be an opportunity to put yourself into the shop window. Rangers won't be turning down a decent offer for any if their players.
I'd rather that than probably be humped every week under Dyche and maybe scrape the relegation battle.
