I wonder if I’ve been a bit hasty about BF. How would Slot or Guardiola or even Ancelotti have got on at Kelty, Clyde or Alloa?

But only if the three of them manage to win!

That’s ‘keepers for you, though, isn’t it. The older ones’ default mode is glower. Younger ones tend to be screamers.

Just the very fellow. Would tolerate no sign of weakness. Just so long as it’s not Lord Cardigan.

A division, you say? I see barely a half squadron.

Who’s reporting the fee waiver? PC or the Club?

Maybe the fab four are paying Rangers for the opportunity. Probably too much to hope for but at least they won’t be expensive and the end of the season is the end of the story.

I’d say you were betraying your age but you likely got it from your granny. I’m in no place to speak. I got it from my mother.

Dodds and McCann - did they do well in their last coaching jobs?

If you’ve got £7,000 - £10,000 to spare you might be able to buy this natty number at auction, the shirt worn by George Robledo of Newcastle United in the 1952 FA Cup Final when he scored the goal in a 1-0 victory over Arsenal. Robledo was a Chilean internationalist. His brother Ted also played for Newcastle in the Final as did Scottish internationalists Ronnie Simpson, Frank Brennan and Bobby Mitchell. Arsenal’s Scotsmen were Alex Forbes and Jimmy Logie. The big surprise is that Jackie Milburn didn’t score for the Magpies. I was only a wee laddie but I remember listening to the wireless commentary and later seeing Newsreel footage at the Pictures. What did I do on Friday? Canna mind.

So far so good but surely not Rae as a temp.

Working to rule would be an improvement.

Only celtic to worry about in that group if the players roll up their sleeves and work for their money.

Quite so.

Pity Rangers can’t get some really top manager like Mourinho or van Gaal or ten Hag or even Moyes. Managers like that don’t fail.

Afraid not.

He wasn’t last week.

True. Can’t think of a high achieving Millwallian. There must be one, surely.

I hope you’re right.

What do 49ers Enterprises get out of the deal? 1 A stadium site. (No idea of the development value) 2 Access to Champions League riches if such riches exist. There are costs involved getting there namely provision of a lot of funds to create a team capable of getting into the competition then continuing investment to get back at least two years out of three to make it worth while. I wonder what US owners get out of Liverpool and other PL clubs. I doubt the Arabs get anything significant out of Manchester City. Oh for a dyed in the wool, multi-billionaire Rangers man with no widows or orphans to worry about but can a drowning man agitate about the bloke throwing him a lifebelt?

I doff my bonnet to Mrs F. A Saint on Earth. No chance I’d have got away with that.

He’ll tell you himself. Probably 7 - 10 day recovery.

When did she flit? It’s a good look right enough.

If true it’s an explanation for the possible loan/share conversion referred to elsewhere.
