    Never seen this kid play except his first goal on his debut.....didn't someone say he was the new Kerkar??? Big Job for Stuarty get in there and sort this out.....I really do like McCall and Im hoping he sways me

    The EPL argument is laughable. It goes in cycles between Europes 3-5 country elite. At the moment Italian clubs are shocking yet watch Juventus and Inter be up there in 3 years time.... They had this debate on Talksport last night, if there was a top 10 Euro Elite league who would the 10 teams be....good debate. Id say Bayern, Dortmund, AC Milan, Inter, Barca, Real M, Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Ajax....based on last 10 years.

    Agreed, I think its a awesome pic. Reminds me when I take the ferry from Indonesia back to Sing and I see the skyline...awesome feeling.

    Round of applause for those willing to take part....really top notch. But its going to take a mammoth get together and planning to sort it out.....Im willing to take the Project Managers job on board at no cost.

    I really deteste the away goal rule. If there is one rule that should be done away with then its that. Can you imagine a game of snooker, Hendry v O Sullivan and Hendry makes a 65 break. O Sullivan comes to the table and makes a 65 break including the last ball except Hendry potted more reds and lower colours therefore he wins the frame.... This game was a draw. PSG had an extra 30 mins on Chelsea soil to score than Chelsea had in Paris therefore how can that be even? Nice to see Chelsea go out mind....:-)

    Underwhelming appointment for me. Anyone else feel that? I am realistic in that I know we needed someone in the door yesterday and I have absolutely no doubt about McCalls desire and work ethic and I know he will want to succeed more than anything else, its a dream come true for him but his previous track record doesn't say to me he is the right man. I hope Im proved wrong and its good to have the wee man back at the club as he was a tremendous player. But I had hoped there was a bit more imagination behind the scenes....like 'lets make a statement' that we are on our way back. Jim Jefferies could probably win a few games with us, but he wouldn't be the answer. I really doubt the board would take on McCall for 8 weeks then dump him in the summer. Therefore underwhelming for me.

    I would imagine he is in the running for it full time if he does well, but anything would be an improvement on what we have seen recently but its an appointment that had to be put in place. As someone said I hope he can make his own decisions and that's the end of McCulloch as a centre half.

    For some reason I have a feeling Ally will get the gig until the end of the season then if he gets promotion he could stay on. But I really hope Im way off the mark. We already missed the boat in starting the football side up again when we went to the lower tier, I sincerely hope the board don't miss this opportunity regardless what division we are in - stay in Championship or go up. The names heavily linked - Butcher, McCall and Davies are really all unappealing. McInnes isn't near top of my choices either but Id rather have him than the other 3. A new gaffer is desperately needed though even if its a short term contract until the end of the season. I would probably accept Walter as he knows how to win games. Strachan would be another who Id quite fancy permanently although my preference is to go down the Dutch route.

    http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/trainer/verfuegbaretrainer/statistik A website with a list of available managers. One I just saw who I would have loved at Ibrox years ago is available - Martin Jol.

    Weir should have been brought in about a year ago as McCoists defensive coach. As for him being No1 in charge I don't fancy that. He was awful at Sheff Utd. Weir to me seems like he would be a really good coach but not a manager. Isnt Harry Redknapp still out of work? We could do a lot worse than asking him up for the rest of the season. Talk about someone who could motivate the players!!!
  12. Gribz
    Id love to see that. It would bring in a total freshness and the dutch set up and mentality has always been top notch. Im very much against the jobs for boys. But I do think the ex players player route can work - if they are the right personnel it doesn't matter where they come from IMO. I hope we stay away from Billy Davies and Terry Butcher and Im not to keen on Stuart McCall long term but he would be a good quick fix for the remainder of the season although I just don't see that as the answer. Other names that we could go for is someone with no previous links. If we could get Glenn Hoddle or Keegan in that would be far more appealing than Butcher or Davies. And bringing in Ray Wilkins as assistant would be a priority for me.
  13. Gribz
    The counter argument to that is that the new board obviously know McDowall isn't the man and need to negotiate his leave, however that wouldn't have been possible within the 24 hours of the EGM plus a match that had to be prepared for.
  14. Gribz
    Capucho, Rothen and Marcus Gayle would improve us right now so its pretty easy to say Naismith would. He has been getting interviewed a lot recently after games and comes across as too smug, certainly wouldn't want to see him playing at Ibrox again. As for one of the better EPL players around at the moment - not in a million years. There is players at Southampton, West Ham, Swansea all streets ahead of him not to mention the big 4 teams.

    Coach - John Carver

    Hi chaps and chapesses. Didn't get to see the game on Sunday due to TV not showing it here but after being out of touch for a long time how far away are we from the supposed measuring stick? TBH a 2-0 defeat is more than I would have expected. What is more gutting is that they are certainly no great shakes and if we had been managed rightly on our so called journey we could and should have won this and been a match for them. As such, anyone who was there can let me know far behind are we? And if we get promotion via the plays off this season where are we on par with the other sides.
  17. Gribz
    Tad harsh calling him a moron, it should never get personal. But he isn't a manager.....really is time for a new man in charge, a much needed injection of good football is required.
  18. Gribz
    that made Super Ally famous? Pretty sure older bears will answer this one....its slightly beyond my time Good bounce for the bears behind the goal mind you....and I see Celtic still cant sell tickets
  19. Gribz
    Not only that you get situations of paying to rehabilitate players who's career was almost finished then they get back to form and go play for your biggest rivals - Craig Gordon. Something is very wrong with this set up.
  20. Gribz
    What like McCulloch, Alexander etc etc all found so difficult?? Naismith really needs to just quit the sooking and jog on.
  21. Gribz
    Agreed. That's why there is a realistic list and an unrealistic list and an affordable list and an unaffordable list. We need a organised manager / assistant / coach to settle the team, bring in morale, get a system going on no budget. Its a 6-18 month task to do that, then we can maybe start to set our sights higher. Some people must think we are still in the Advocaat era.
  22. Gribz
    Come back into a bit of reality...a Premier League / Championship manager? Their wages would dwarf McCoists. If Lennon struggled to get a job in the second tier after winning leagues and being in Champions league how are we going to attract the likes of Steve McLaren (who is a guy Id have liked but he isn't going to leave high flying Derby.) You have slated Malky Mackay before and he is at bottom 3 side Wigan. If we go down south it would be from someone from a 3rd tier side. Warnock might get the gig! He is a Premier League manager.
  23. Gribz
    Im guessing he must have meant close the gap between us and letting the 3rd get closer to us. Hibs are beginning to get a run together now, unbeaten in 8 games and they comfortably beat us when they were playing poorly. A play off versus them doesn't fill me with confidence.
  24. Gribz
    I just think McCall would be viewed more as the ex player tag. I know Nicholl played for us but almost 30 years ago. I also know Calderwood is supposed to be a Rangers fan but he doesn't fit in with this 'must be a rangers man' things that often gets viewed. As a duo they seem to have good leadership and tactical knowledge. Calderwood likes to play a good brand of football, knows some of the European lower leagues well and with the second most expensive squad in Scotland I think he would put something on the pitch that shows that. Both are affordable if Ally did walk.
  25. Gribz
    Repetitive that he shouldn't be allowed to continue in the roll. Davies and McCall would both do better but are both unappealing. So many names could do better but would be unrealistic targets. Ive always thought Id like to see Kevin Keegan in charge with Ray Wilkins as his assistant but that boat has probably sailed. A realistic team who I think would do well for 18 months would be Jimmy Calderwood with Jimmy Nicholl, and I would add they could bring in Brian Laudrup as first team coach.
