i think this thread should be remamed "clutching at straws!

That was the first thought that came into my head! lets get him in the boardroom!

is this sunds a bit like caixhina, in the sense half are happy and the other half in dispair!

yeah but 5 weeks? 5 weeks of speculation that affects our players and their players. in that 5 weeks we could of had both managers settled (and for us maybeless dropped points)

If it is McInnis, then why has it taken 5 weeks to appoint him? 140 odd apps to sift through and their conclusion was to go for the fella (who I assume didn’t apply as his chairman keeps going on about how committed to the club he is) is the ex player up the road who finished 2nd (not having a go at that btw). It just sounds a complete shambles.

Simple! he doesnt trust him or believe in him. He would rather rely on Miller!

What really is getting my goat is the business of that they wanted to be thorough and make sure they get the right person for the job, but hang on didnt they do that with their last two appointments? Also on another note at my work place (local council). when our old boss retired instead of putting it out for advert straight away(when she handed in her notice) they waited till she left and did not put it out to advert for at least two months, why? so they could bank two months of manager wages that went into the reserves.

Well did mcleish actually put in an application? didnt he say you know where i am?

Can I just say, I was about to wicki him, until I read it again!!

I'd love to see those 150 apps and see who they are

i wonder how many players (not just in Scotland) have had two red rescinded on the dot?

Alan Pardew is pish! disliked at palace & Newcastle. He thinks of himself as the big I am. no thanks!

If he spoked to the mail, like all good tabloid journalist, he would have been asked leading questions. He’s a young lad that’s going to have the world on his plate( well at least in January). Plus, the bit about “mailsport, understands” says it all.

..and how come there's never any photo evidence of him sitting there with a pint in his hand and a pie in the other??

Probably the most amusing thing of the whole situation is that Sutton thinks he's really clever by trying to stoke a non news story. Instead he just looks like a pleb who thinks his cunning plan is, well, cunning!

Liked the line "where he's comfortable". says it all really!

Either (Sutton ) is really thick and doesn't get what Pedro means or he's trying to do his usual confrontational look at me, I stick it to the man bit.

The players he signed were poor (and were coached poorly). He had what the second biggest budget in scottish football. His tactical plan was to wait til the other team (of part time players) tired themselves out and then go for the win. He took home a massive wage and served up very little that was pleasing to the eye. When king and co finally got a hold of Rangers I thought he might of resigned from his contract and moved on, instead he continued to pocket the wage right to the end. Then there was the whole debacle of forgetting to vote because he was on holiday. That’s not great from stuff from a club legend. So when he talks about us being behind celtic, you can see why people get upset!

How true! I feel myself drifting away from it myself. Shame really, We used have some good discussions but when the whole Ebt thing started and everyone became a tax expert it all became a bit poisonous. Still the off topic forum has its moments. Anyway top post mate. I'll have to try and remember it all when I talk to my Dad (the dreaded Celtic Supporter), hopefully I can bamboozle him with my knowledge (as he gets all his from The Evening Times & Daily Record online).

Frankie, you should post that on the Rangers thread on the football manager/sports interactive site. That will have the "non Gers" frothing!!

yeah I wasn't sure whether to "like" or "agree" to the post as it either would have certain connotations

Well if we in Europe, we need to retain some players that are Trained in Nation & Trained at Club. I would of thought Wilson would of fallen into that category!

I wished they'd hurry up. I dying to update my Rangers Team on Football Manager

Did he retire injured or something?

while I can Naismith comments may of been badly worded by him, Whittakers saying "“We owe no loyalty to the new club. There is no history there for us.” is a little harder to swallow. in particular as it was him who got sent off after 18mons against malmo that dropped us in it!
