Does that mean 'undecided'?

If I remember correctly Souness brought Smith for his knowledge of the league. I'll be surprised if Gerrard would get that from McAllister.

The difficulty you were experiencing was about what happens when an incoming manager does not like the squad he inherits. Looks like you are talking about something else now.

Would be first choice or backup?

I think it is irresponsible to reveal McClaren during the season ticket renewal period.

Once again he can work with the director of football to get the squad that he wants. I don't understand what is difficult about this.

No kidding. He also turned down the opportunity to stay so that he could join the team he supports. That is to say Celtic. Every time he plays against us he does so with a particular zeal.

Who is 'Cakes-in-a' ?

Continually mystified by how often this gets mentioned on forums. I will be polite and describe it as improbable. Not the strangest suggestion I've seen though. Recently saw someone on twitter suggesting McGeouch.

It's part of the rationale for having a director of football. You can continue signing players according to your strategy regardless of whether or not a manager is likely to continue. May well have protected us from signing someone like Carlos Peña too.

I hope, against all reasonable expectations, that you learn not to be amazed in future.

Greed is one thing. Petulance is another thing altogether. Petulance will hinder teamwork rather than help it.

I think his attitude is getting worse. Today he was gesticulating and complaining because he didn't get a pass from Holt. I would have some sympathy if it were not for the fact that he often gets passes in good positions before completely blowing his chance. He needs to sort it out. It's a team game.

Much better this week. We should have won by a few more though. We'll need to play even better to get a result next week.

That's not an attendance figure.

Nice to see a win for Dundee today.

Dundee United are guaranteed a playoff spot now. Can't go any higher than third though so they will have three chances to fail.

Good news if it happens. Am I right to think that this would be just behind the Esso garage?

Why share Phil's site?

Really? Nothing about appointing an MLS manager seems obvious to me.

Three pages of weeping and gnashing of teeth. When is someone going to debate the elephant in the room?! Is this Kappa strip better or worse than a Hummel strip?

Hypothetically, yes, but his comments don't happen in a vacuum though. The things that he tells an interviewer, and his demeanor, will undermine his authority with the squad.

Murty repeatedly puts his foot in his mouth and his comments on Bates are no exception. I'll be watching on in terror of him saying something silly in the pre-match build up to either of our next two matches.

Can you provide some examples? Preferably the ones that are causing you most distress.
