Fool me once shame on you, fool my twice shame on me, full me thrice...well I think by that point you are meant to be prepared for the fall

And Northern Ireland are terrible

You could include junior level and womens teams if you want to make it even more flattering.

Having read Forlanssister's posts on RM, I don't think anyone should challenge him on these matters and expect a victory.

Boyd? Onyewu is a sub for Sporting Lisbon

Can you name 5 current American players off the top of your head without looking it up? Being better than Scotland doesn't mean anything and I really don't think this American squad is full of particularly good talent. According to wikipedia he has only played once for the US this year.

I don't think the future of Edu is very relevant. He's a very mediocre player.

Let's be real here though mate, while Gattuso might not a star of Seria A anymore, we play in a league that is the equivalent of bottom end Italian football. Gattuso was a regular for one of the best teams in Serie A until not so long ago. People keep using the David Weir example, but he was finished in England then strolled through several seasons in Scotland. And Gattuso was a far better player than Weir.

Sorry, but scrutiny is exactly what MUST be done. There's a difference between scrutiny and mindless protests for no apparent logical cause.

More importantly, the club obviously thought a lot of him before he featured almost 40 times in a season where they won the league...

Wait, you are actually for David Murray? Please tell me you are trolling? Oh Jesus, I'm not even going to bother with you.

Possibly if Whyte and Murray had got similar scrutiny, we won't be where we are now.

The £8.5m will have been raised from personal wealth or borrowings. The £20m will have to come from money the club generates. We were operating at a loss of £10m per annum, how are we going to suddenly swing things? The only way the club makes any money is from champions league football, and we're miles away from being a group stage level team.

Holland are a strange 1. They have 3 or 4 of the top players in world football but other than that they seem more about power than skill. Back in the day, they basically had an entire squad of world class talent to choose from. What are the youngsters like over there Pete? Is there a new batch of talent coming through?

Some people seem very afraid of asking questions.

Is Zappa somehow impeding the takeover by raising queries on a message board?

Aye, very good.

After being run into the ground by two horrible con men, and another guy coming out of the woodwork from nowhere, can you not understand his concerns?

I bought the Holland and Spain kits today. Have always followed Holland in the tournaments since Advocaat and the Dutch players joined us. Thinking of putting the bloody top back now !!

He would probably immediately become the best player in the SPL by a mile, even if he's not quite the player he was. This would be a sensational signing and what a way to get back in business. I have wanted this signing for a long, long time. It's unlikely we will sign a player of his calibre again for some time.

We will already be in debt to him and his other investors from the start, as far as I'm aware so what he's saying isn't true. As I said in the other thread, we just have to wait and see.

We just have to hope for the best really. Not a lot else can be done just now. We must be very cautious but putting up any resistance at this point in time is not the correct thing to be doing.
