Bounders the lot of them

Absolute cads and rotters.

Off the shelf company secretary.

Come back Campbell Ogilvie. Can you say that on here?

De Boer wasn't a centre forward.

Very true but if you look back through the posts a bit especially # 38 you'll understand the discussion better.

Better Adkins than Gattuso, right enough, but that's his second sacking in not a lot of time.

I didn't like Pulis at Stoke and I didn't like Stoke when he was there but he's what we need to create a competent team

Top winger. Top man.

Alec Smith, manager of Aberdeen, our closest competitors at the time used to say that Rangers defended from the front in that as soon as the ball was lost, McCoist and Johnston would track back to try to recover it.

de Boer was a better footballer but McCoist was a better centre forward. Boyd at his best is third rate.

And here's me thinking the Compliance Guy had been hibernating. Ah well, a top o' the mornin' to yees , ye spalpeen.

City are starting to get the hang of this Europe business.

PSG. won't get past Chelsea.

You could argue that the great Jimmy Millar and the lethal Ralphie Brand had even better back-up than McCoist. If I had played in front of Baxter and McMillan and between Henderson and Wilson I might have scored a few.

Oh yes! Near greetin'.

gs is right. He can't go unless the board says thanks for your offer, cheerio. It would cost nothing except wages due to date plus of course any other emoluments accruing on termination.

That's why I wonder, has he said: "Hi, board, I'm not up to this, I'll go if you like" or has he said: "Hi, board, I'm jacking it in a year from today."

Scenario 1, the board can say "Naw, you're doing fine, son, stay where you are" or "Aye, ok, here's your pay." Scenario 2, a well-run, well-funded board could say "fine but cut your grass on Monday, get the daffs in on Tuesday " and so on for a year while they pay someone else to do the work. (Remember the board is neither well-funded nor well-run.)

I suspect the devil lies in the other emoluments accruing on termination.

Has he offered to resign which the board may or may not accept or has he given notice of intention to terminate his contract one year on? If the board accept his offer he can go now free of charge.

Lucky Super! He gets an enhanced leaving package if it includes a shut up clause or lucrative book deal if it doesn't.

Not that I'd buy the book. Ever hear or read anything interesting from a player or manager on the radio or in print?

On reflection, no because greenco acquired the assets for value (ahem) with no residuals.

"SCOTTISH giants Dundee United ......" (#114)

Whit?

Robinson got it right.

No need for a Rangers intervention. Mrs Budge seems well up for it and carries no baggage that thePress can use to undermine her.

Hmmm.

And your preferred option for the dastard, SC?

Whyte at court earlier...

 

Nice tie and jacket. Shame about the rest.

Fair turn-out, that, for the caley.

Dundee and sheep had less than six thousand. That used to be a thirty thousand gate. Hard to believe now that the Dens record is about forty thousand.

"Wait until May" is fine in August but not in December, nine points adrift and generally playing badly.

He cares about the law, he's paid to care about the law.

 

I'm content to wait where Lord Hodge goes with the rule of law.

That's what I mean, fs.

Of course Lord Hodge "doesn't care". He's not paid to care.

Aye, Cameronian, your worthy post torpedoed by predictive text but I know what you mean.

Perhaps Mex cells don't come up to that standard. Mediaeval perhaps?

I remember seeing the Eintracht fans parading in front of the main stand but I was too far away to read their banner. They were getting pelters for it but all it says is Frankfurt greets Glasgow. dB will correct me if I'm wrong in that.
