There is a rumour that Knutsen is one of them. Apparently he was the least impressive by some distance.

Rangers learned to give incentives to subscribe to R.T.V. Don't come crying after the transfer window.

I think that Beale is a good choice. Not perfect but good.

Oh aye. Do you imagine, perhaps, that Rangers is heading towards administration?

Impressing Ally McCoist is nowhere near my criteria for a new manager.

Somebody please fetch an unpopular, and expensive, manager before it all gets too much!

Dying? It doesn't matter how rubbish it gets. Scottish football fans will still fall over themselves to promote, and discuss, mainstream coverage. It can never die for that reason.

Not long. You can do a search on topic title within a date range.

People will still be saying stuff like this when we get in to the Champions League group stages next season.

The poll showed that only a minority had a positive view of Gerrard's appointment. He was not perfect but a good appointment overall.

I can only imagine!

Judging by usage it is a term of endearment. Voetball Leader or something.

I don't think that I can. I did notice some debate on twitter. It focused on whether Knutsen fan boys are "massive V.L.s" or just "V.L.s". I don't think that is a substantial enough disagreement to say that he is wrong.

This is easily the most thoughtful, and insightful, thread on the topic so far. Don't read it if you have been asking for Knutsen or if you are a friend of Kevin Thomson.

As someone who takes an interest in middle eastern football I can tell you that his teams score very high in terms of xB. That's the expected beards metric common in the arabian peninsula. Quite different to the expected bigotry metric that we are more familiar with in Scotland.

Messi is good enough to win the Ballon d'Or but can he win on a roasting afternoon in the persian gulf?

I'm not including it in my analysis as xWMD is zero.

The list of names are all too well known for my liking. Too many recognisable vowels in the surnames as well. I have been keeping an eye on some promising bearded managers in the Kyrgyzstan second division. Wait untill you see xG for some of these guys. Through the roof for play, following on from throw-ins, during the key 25-38 minute stage. Will post an utterly meaningless pie chart after I finish analysing some Turkmen five-a-sides, from September '22, at double speed.

Neither do the Q.P.R. fans.

The Record are just making stuff up.

Sounds like good craic.

Sounds like good craic.

Good point. That was such a long time ago. I think I had forgot about it.

Oh no. Not that garbage about an assistant with local knowledge again. I'll need to dust off all of my anti Barry Ferguson talking points yet again.

I will take the fellow from Hearts. I don't know if he would be any good. I'm just sure that his name isn't Knutsen.
