Wasn't ever going to last with the new owner. Leeds are a club with such huge potential but in a massive hole.

Ive been listening to a bit of built up on Talksport this week, certainly seems the biggest in 20 years since Benn v Eubank. Not a massive boxing fan but I like the big fights and used to watch the heavyweight division, but this fight has created interest so I'll probably watch. Absolutely too close to call though so wont be having a bet on it.

Glamorous trip but as mentioned earlier a more high profile opposition would have been good even if it was an English side. Didn't Ally take the team to Germany the other summer and played against part time opposition there also? I know Pre-season is about fitness and preparation but it should also be an internal test to see how is ready for the league to start, Im not sure how it can give him a good view on how his squad will perform. Id have also thought an Ibrox tournament would have been arranged for a bit of a money maker. With teams like AC Milan, Hamburg, Newcastle and Linfield being potential opposition.

Hearts shorter than Hibs? I would take Hibs each way at the moment.

Summer transfer window: Official ins/outs and transfer rumours
Gribz replied to Zappa's topic in Rangers Chat
We should only be signing players who will improve the squad. Signing for the sake of it is a waste of money we don't have and leaves us in a mess if we do win promotion next summer. -
That's me in. I do have the disadvantage of a time difference so wont see many line ups prior to games.
-
Lennon might get the West Brom job, if not it will be a Championship team next season like Norwich or Blackpool.
-
TBH this should have been part of the plan in 2012. But whether Ally and his team would have got it right I am not so sure.

Expectations for the Financial State of the Club Going Forward
Gribz replied to buster.'s topic in Rangers Chat
At least! Considering it took them 10 years to stop us while they was in the top flight we already have a 3 year set back by climbing the leagues. Everything on and off the park will create a bigger gap. -
I think Michael Laudrup is the perfect fit to continue the good set up there, he plays the same style and with Southampton having arguably a better team than Swansea Laudrup would go well there. He is also the big name that could a) keep hold of their top players or b) replace them.
-
I think they should have went for Benitez. Not sure Pochettino will last at Spurs TBH. The manager merry go round begins.
-
I tend to agree with this for the reason that it often does teams good to take 2 steps back and get relegated, we've seen that down south with Newcastle to name a few, even teams like Leicester went 2 divisions back and have come back stronger. So for Hibs I can see them being slightly better than he have been this season. For Hearts it will depend on what activity they do in the transfer market but they are not going to be in as bad a situation as we was and will start a rebuilding job. I would have said we would be favourites on paper but with Ally's style I could even see Falkirk giving us a go.
-
Oomph....fair one. So you don't think we will win the league next season?
-
Would like to hear what fellow Bears expect next season. Obviously the journey back up the leagues was supposed to be a gimmie and we didn't foresee hearts and Hibs standing in the way. Hearts are on the rebuilding and Hibs are about to make changes.....An article on here a few weeks ago had Ally saying he fears Hibs, sorry but we should never be fearing them. We had a good Scottish cup run this year but id not worry about that this year and put all efforts into the league. Still cant believe we didt pick up the Ramsden's and I cant see there being big interest in that this year. I don't think Ally is the right manager, he should be at the club in some capacity but not on the training field and If im honest I don't think it will be easy next season.
-
I did think Butcher was a real fit for Hibs when he went there and expected them to be a top 3 side but something is obviously far wrong there, to only win 1 game in 19 sounds like there was a player / manager split. Not sure what to expect from them next season though....
-
Look at that pest Doncaster in the corner. Scottish football has went so far backwards the 2nd tier is better than the top tier.
-
Championship will be better than the Premiership. I wonder what the TV deal is. It couldn't have happened any sweeter for clowns like Doncaster.
-
Pretty sure the Inverness owners will be having a wry smile at the moment. Gosh Im glad we haven't got Butcher as a manager.
-
Its great to have different views, for me Giggs does down as Man Utd best ever. I thought he was terrific even up to the last game he came on against Hull. He certainly gets in my all time Premier League team. When you talk about over rated then that's where Beckham can come into it.
-
Im having a bouncy......

Rangers Hearts ad Hibs in 1 league.....hoofing
-
Didn't see that coming.....that's a reason to continue drinking....

I agree with SBS we couldn't afford Lampards phone bill never mind wages. He'd have been realistic in the late 90s. He'd have only joined via sentimental reasons and would have been paid 5k a week, yet he will go to the MLS and get that a day and then some.

:laugh2: Choked on my breakfast reading that.

Disappointed for Atletico, to come so close. But they won La Liga.
