I think compo is referring to those mythical GP people, who reside somewhere on the other end of a phone.  

As accessible as that?

I'm not advocating his return; definitely not - I was pleased when he left in the first place while everyone else was greetin'!

 

Not I.

Agreed, but who specifically. 

 

Is it a Dyche? Is it someone in SPL? Is it the next SG? Is it someone from left field (Pedro!). 

 

It's all fine say replace him, but who with? 

That is absolutely correct. Same applies to the Board.

Someone with untold millions.

 

Genuine question - are you happy with this board and what they are / aren't doing with OUR club? 

Untold millions and no potential widow or orphans. 
 

Am I happy with the Board? Very good question. Current events don’t make me very happy and I don’t expect the Board members are either. Trouble is, they don’t have access to untold millions. 
 

I can criticise the Board for a missed opportunity after 55 but Gerrard let them down. He should have been able to manage the team past Malmö then he might have got money to spend. I can criticise them too for appointing GVB. I didn’t think he was the right man based on absolutely nothing other than the fact that he was plying his trade in a football nowhere. I suppose he could just as easily turned out to be a genius.

There is no new benign + wealthy owner coming soon. I award the current Board seven marks out of ten. The manager needs to go. Some players need to get tell’t.

we have the correct board in place

It’s a lot better than many previous  Boards. I don’t see many volunteers coming forward to replace them. Again who would you like to see on the Board? Genuine question.

I'd replace the board

With whom?

I somehow managed not to know Davie Robb had died. Not the silkiest player but he knew where the goal was and did his best to get there no matter who was in the way.

Agreed, the Leeds support seem very different, as do Newcastle fans who probably have more claim to a unique geographical identity than most. 

They certainly seem to go to matches for the football rather than the politics. I’ve heard mention of  “the Geordie Nation” though but it’s maybe more a cultural thing than sporting.

Liverpudlians and Mancunians have inferiority complexes, their towns playing second fiddle to London.

That’s the advantage in coming from a wee town. You don’t have to worry about second fiddle. You’re not even in the orchestra.

There should be accountability 

Too right. 

Liverpool supporters have been like this for years. They seem to have cast themselves as the true victims of Heysel. Remind me of the followers of another team of similar background.

Can’t speak about Evertonians in the present day but my brother married into an RC Evertonian family when Goodison was still the School of Soccer Science. Better people you couldn’t find. Their heritage was Lancashire rather than immigrant which might explain different attitudes.

Francis got a nice position as senator

Every retiring Lord Advocate expects to get that job if he wants it.

The prosecutions were hopelessly incompetent. As somebody rightly remarked, the whole thing was well beyond the abilities of McPlod to investigate.

One place to look for a  plot is within HMRC. Why relentlessly pursue Rangers instead of compromising? 
 

Was there another plot involving the spivvery?  Hmmmm. 
 

Were they connected or was it just opportunism?

Then it comes to the polis and m’learned friends. That’s where incompetence looks to be favourite. Unkind observers might suggest odds on.

Is it incompetence or is there something more sinister. My thoughts are the latter.

What sinister thing have you in mind? Mulholland the tim and the preening ninny who succeeded him raking off a cut? Never under-estimate the power of incompetence.

Leicester have a new defence coach. They didn’t have two banks of five defenders, it was more a narrow ellipse of ten. No need for that. Haaland wasn’t playing. City still managed to get through but were a bit off with their finishing.

Rogers was wearing a poppy lapel badge. That rules him out of a return to celtic.

Can anyone tell what Dyche has done to merit being talked about for the Rangers job?

I reckon Dyche would get the team fit and disciplined and train the players to defend. It won’t be pretty but it will be effective and get them competing with celtic. After a couple of seasons get some poet or artist to take over if we want to.

Affordable alternatives who might be willing to take the job? I don’t know if Dyche is affordable.

Hate to raise this but if we get rid of GVB who on earth would be available to take the job? Surely not McInnes? Sean Dyche maybe. Think the Michael Beale ship has sailed too. 

Dyche

My immediate thought was similar but on reflection, on a bosman it makes sense.

 

Scottish reared player for UEFA competition and more liable to be fit than Souttar.

 

Pantomime villan who needs to mature but could be shaped into a very useful player.

I sort of agree with that and disagree at the same time.

There’s at least two Scott7s🎶

Who are they?

That Aberdeen side would stroll the current league.
