Gribz

Football will NEVER be as big in America as it is in Europe. They are trying to buy there way into it. They should stick to baseball and Gridiron coz Football is our game.

Well thats another for the Gers flop XI or Ecks flop XI. Dont think he will be remembered in 2 months time.

Cant say im dissapointed they turned it down. Surely we have to set our sights higher.

Are you saying no manager is better than Brown? Come on, it wasnt Berti I named.

Whereas Im happy Walter is back at Ibrox it leaves the national team looking for a replacement and it will be difficult to follow in Smiths footsteps. Some of the names mentioned and thrown up will be: Alex McLeish - Possibly but i wouldnt want Andy Watson near Hampden Graeme Souness - Probably my 1st choice Kenny Dalglish - Not sure Tommy Burns - Maybe deserves a crack at it Craig Levein - No Jim Jefferies - No George Graham - Id accept him Joe Jordan - Possibly a good choice for assistant Craig Brown - If everyone else didnt want it David Moyes - Wouldnt leave Everton Anyone else?

If he goes to MLS then he is selling out and is afraid of a new challenge. He would be taken the easy way out. Beckham is capable of playing in any EPL side including Man U again. There will be a few takers in Italy aswell. He'd be crazy to go to America.

This couldnt be happening to a better chap than Jose

Personally no i dont think so. I was just going through the squad and looking for captain material and Klos came to mind. I feel for Gavin Rae coz i dont think he'll play enough games, so it has to be Prso until the end of the season IMO.

Stefan Klos anyone??? Fresh start so he might get included. WS and AM might think like us, if he is getting 30k from RFC he should be earning it. He didnt deserve to get the captaincy taken away in the first place albeit an injury.

No worries. But Ally was always coming back one day in some role. Its a bit like Shearer who will be a banker at Newcastle again. I bet Coisty is wetting himself right now with excitement

I think Laudrup is another who could be a great asset in the coaching set up or even as euro scout. But not so sure about Gazza which is a shame.

Huge welcome back Walter! Last week i didnt think it was a good idea to come back for a 2nd stint but day by day ive taken to the idea and now under the circumstances at Ibrox he was my first choice. Lets get back to winning ways again and see the real rangers fight. And welcome back Super Ally aswell

I think Walter's team will be better prepared for Euro nights after his spell with Scotland. His team went to Norway and won superbly, was unlucky away to Italy and he has beaten France at home. I think he'll have a different approach this time round.

I still would like to see Gough in there for defence coach

The sooner Walter is installed the better, the club has been rotten on a downwards spiral since Advocaats 2nd year. I honestly cant wait for him to be in charge again, he will sort out everything behind the scenes and has the best person to assist him in McCoist. I envy those who will be at Ibrox on saturday to chant "Super Ally" and "Walter Smiths B & W Army"

I just hope he doesnt bring his relegation jinx with him. Down with Southampton in 2005 Down with West Brom in 2006

Yeah McFadden was the other i forgot to put in my original post.

Yeah, he is a total pro who id have in my team any day of the week. There isnt much of there players who spring to mind that ive respected but he certainly is 1. The only other i can think of would be Lambert for his play, i thought he was an great midfielder.

Gutted I never got my bet on. Thats an unbelievable scoreline. I hope Baptista comes onto a game now in the EPL.

Its obvious we're never going to sign the cream of the EPL but i was having a think at some of the types of players id like to see us go for. Christian Dailly - Not the best defender in the world but would certainly shout about our back 4 and give his all. Mathew Etherington - Was superb in West Hams promotion season 2 years back and started last season well but he been unlucky with a few niggles. I think when fit he could do a fine job for us in the left. Claus Jensen - Similar to Quashie but after we lost out to him Jensen could do a job for us. He has experience, is a good passer/tackler and props up with the odd goal. Massimo Maccarone (sp) - Under rated at Boro and badly treated but when he comes on he seems to score. With Dado retiring, Novo prob leaving and Sebo's future in doubt this is the type player who could be a good signing. Alan Smith - Prob a dream but would still like to see us enquire about a loan. Robbie Fowler - Again prob a dream but isnt playing much for Liverpool and i think he'd come to us in a minute. Would score for fun in the SPL

Id of liked to have seen Ashikodi get a run of games, he is very pacey. But too late

Strange one indeed, especially since Wolfs are denying it

Just watched the highlights from Man U v Villa. Larsson played very well and could have had a hattrick. He took his goal very well. I know he is an ex celtic player but you have to admire him as a world class striker. He went to Barca and was brilliant and turned the CL final for them. He has now came to Man U and had an impressive debut. All this after 2 career threating injuries.

I can only see Barry Ferguson getting this back. Gavin Rae wont play enough games to be permanent captain and Prso will retire in the summer. Who does that leave???? Nobody but Ferguson. I dont want him to take it back but he is a better option than most of the squad.

Arsenal are 5/2 to win, same as they were on saturday. I might have a flutter on this coz the BBC says they are naming a strong squad rather than the younsters: Arsenal (from): Almunia, Eboue, Poom, Lehmann, Hoyte, Toure, Senderos, Clichy, Hleb, Silva, Flamini, Rosicky, Henry, Walcott, Van Persie, Baptista, Djourou, Diaby, Fabregas. The guy Diaby is back, he played a bit like Vieira until he got injured. Also reports West Ham want Ljungberg for 7 million.
