His contract runs out in June. He may re-sign when the new manager is appointed, but I doubt it. (IMO, he would not suite the style of Rose.)

How do you know that ? Perhaps Rose, Lopetegui, Gerrard or whoever gets the job may want to keep him. He is still the most talented football player in the squad imo, and his effort when he has played cannot be questioned.

You say 'from' Saudi, yes both were taken 'from' Saudi. I highly doubt either was hired because of how they performed as head coaches IN Saudi. My point was any performance data that may normally be used in the hiring or otherwise of managers from Saudi is probably disregarded in the most part.

You've got competition now tbf 😂 🙏🏻🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Wolves picked up Vitor Pereira from Saudi. And didn't Forest pluck Nuno from Saudi? I don't know why I'm posting this - I don't want Gerrard anywhere near the options.

You mean you're not following the mighty النادي الأهلي السعودي?? Maaaate... !!

The damage was done in the summer when the board decided to chuck it and prep for a sale. I dont think Clement or BF have had a fair crack of the whip this year, without defending their records.

When can I expect my 'biggest gammon far right conspiracy nut miserable sod of the year' award?

I have a number of issues with Gerrard and wouldn't want him back. But cant see why his stint in Saudi is being used as a case against him, its not a serious football league its a marketing campaign. It would go the other way had he been a resounding success. I mean does anyone even know/care who the best teams and managers are in Saudi? I dont. Same goes for Muscat in China. Chinese football isn't serious and is essentially just a betting market.

Well, he'll bring Michael Beale back as part of his team, surely that has us all on-side. I hadn't given Gerrad returning a 2nd thought until I was speaking with someone this morning who I know and trust and they casually dropped his name into the conversation.

Why the hell would we bring back Gerrard when the yanks take control it’s going to be a new Rangers a whole new setup better get used to it a lot of things might change .

Hagi will be off in the summer, so no issues from me.

And yet Hagi was on the bench for players of lesser talent and lesser determination 🙄 That's firmly on BF

Wow, the new Gersnet Comic..... It's all immaterial anyway as he's not getting the job.

... or the players simply ignore what is demanded of them to play at this club. Not least after most incentive is gone. Going by the last few games, only Hagi, Raskin, and Dessers seem to have the drive required, but have to cope with the rest. Whether Jefte, Igamane and Diomande actually understand what is demanded of them is anyone's guess. Cerny sure gives as good as he's got, but more often than not, he over does it. As it stands, and this is just a repeat of what has been said quite a lot, we have a rather dire pool of players, in terms of quantity of quality. And what they lack in quality, most can't make up in determination, strengths of character, or ambition. Which has been a strength of seasons past. It is going to be some task to stop them grabbing 56, no matter how many tainted titles are included in their "records".

So you may profit from it? Not bloody likely. Look, if you must have the last, cavilling, word, I'll be generous, and give it to you. Here it is: "THE LAST WORD" Copy, and paste it onto your Honours Board.

Do you? Show us your research.

Russell Martin tomorrow, then?

I knew when I recklessly posted that I would awaken the Kraken. OK. Not all kosbies. Just Wallace. Maybe Speakman.

I know where the smart money would go.

BF is BF, he is what he is. Those appointing him will have known or been told.

That would be ridiculous. I really hope Bodo/Glimt win the Europa - would be a blow to the moneybags teams.

Papers will say literally anything the now for clicks. Everything up in the air with this takeover not fully put through yet. Pure speculation from everyone, even the bookies and those betting.

Yeah you have valid points but BF isnt helping himself with post match comments, keep it in the dressing room. Plus wasnt the players confused in Bilbao with his paper notes and Tav couldnt read the hand writing?
