Sutton_blows_goats

We currently have a higher playing staff wage bill than other mob fc. Investment is pointless if you piss it away. Also how do you get big investment and stay ffp compliant? Just do better with what we have, it may seem impossible but stranger things have happened.

5-0 Rangers fgs McCausland

Steven’s looked good in the recent youth games I’ve seen, wide attacking player. But he’s off on a free at the end of the season too. Another shambles. Lovelace leaving on a free too. Maybe the likes of Curtis and Webster are closest.

Your the only other person I’ve seen say that, I’ve said myself plenty from what I have seen of him he looks a waste of 6 million. Not sure why so many see him as some kind of striker panacea.

And for the Butland thing don’t think his family ever moved up here and based on that alone I reckon he is off.

Someone on FF posted Thursday Barisic, Lawrence and Davies were going to play. Celtic played Forrest only to run at Barisic.

Barron would walk into our current midfield which tells you everything you need to know..

I think much of that comes down to management style. SG knew how to put a good solid team together which was hard to break down, however he struggled to break down the 'park the bus'. Look at his record v some of the diddy teams (Killie a good example) compared to Clement. Who has his team play a more expansive, direct open style. I think Clement needs to learn to be a bit more pragmatic.

Everyone knows Beale was the brains behind all that

He had to And Phil 'has to' now. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and we all know Walter was a great manager for us, but many will tell you that year after year when we were beaten by AEK Athens and IFK Goteburg at the time many of the support were calling for his head and it ultimately got him sacked.

He had spent about 10 million 3 years in a row, if that's not enough to beat Malmo then games a bogey.

If Gerrard was such a good manager how come he never managed to win a domestic cup? He also made a pigs ear of it v Malmo in what would have been a massive boost getting to the CL for the club. I think there is a lot of revisionism around him. He had a good record against Celtic yes, but only really managed to beat them over the course of the season once. I think Gerrard is part of the reason why we are where we are, we should have sold off some of his team when we got bids in and not hold on to players for far too long.

He did but he has the same amount of winners medals as big Phil. I dont care if you get them beating celtic loads or not. Just. Win. Hings.

I have this nagging feeling that he'll try to sign Jack Hendry who played for him at Brugge. Not saying we should, more think he will.

Derek McInnes.. bring him home

Still can’t quite get over that performance by Lundstram, lost his man for the opener, an og and a red within 30 odd mins. Not sure sh*t the bed quite covers it.

A good window can keep a club going for years and a bad one can keep you down for years. That Gio window was worse than beales imo

No, me too.

Also John Soutter injured the manager has said. We'll be playing Andy Webster's lad at CB in the SCF at this rate.

Pretty much everything Celtc did in the first half came down our left. They targeted them and Barisic is notorious at letting his opponent run at him which is why they played Forrest out of nowhere. On the plus side if we play Trabzonspor in Europe next season we will destroy them down their left.

To be fair the manager needs to adapt and play with what you have. He cant play a wide attacking team with no wingers, he cann ignore midfield where we all have seen and heard and mentioned ourselves Celtc have been stronger than us in recent games. Which he seems to have done. The midfield has always been a big concern for us in these games. Sterling should have played with Diomande in there, Lawrence is done and should be a bench option only. He really needs to think outside the box for the cup final as sticking with the likes of Lundstram is a recipe for disaster. Lundstrams Rangers career is littered with men running off him. Also big questions over the Silva signing, looked good at times but ultimately he s a bit too Cantwell/ Kent. Tidy footballer with no real end product. For all Hagi and Sakala looked like Bambi on ice at times they put up numbers. We needed a killer #9. Manager needs to think a bit more tactically for the SCF. Cant just throw players into the system that hasn't worked v them for 3 times now.

Think we all knew when we seen Lundstram and Barisic in the lineup the manager had made a boo boo. Sadly he can’t seem to see it.

Agree, and given our wage bill it’s a damning indictment of those running our club.

Spot on.
