Might be nice instead of all these silly rules like financial fair play and the rest of it that when a club appoints a manager say on a three year deal then he should be allowed to serve his three years might give some of them time to build a team.

My post was more of a dig at Bayern, rather than a comment on Utd sacking Ten Hag, was it not?

 

I did think the new owners would make a change, but there's very few options out there. 

 

Bayern went for Kompany! 

Better with a bit of stability surely 

So Mr Ten Hag stays as manager the correct move in my eyes but I'm surprised at so called contenders for the job saying the wages as manager and transfer budget didn't meat their expectations maybe that's the trouble some managers are getting to well paid 

At the end of the day it’s all going to depend on how much money we can conjure up to help the manager buy decent players 

This young man had an excellent career with some top clubs but became an even better manager Mr Carlo Ancelotti 

Always good to beat the Jerries

There must be some places near Murrayfield where your desires can be catered for?🤣 Not sure you would welcome Rod Stewart though!

If it generates money then you can bring in pope Francie to  conduct mass  money's ,money .

There's a lot of work being done on the Copland stand this summer so Ibrox isn't available for concerts or events. We're not even playing any friendlies at home pre-season. 

Harry Styles, a troubadour popular with the young people, played at Ibrox in the very recent past which suggests our 'wizzos' are onto this little earner. 

but not on it often enough

You keep referring to Coatbridge, I know more than a few very staunch Bears from Coatbridge and have even been a Rangers pub there.... 😉 😀

It’s not the big tree that’s for sure 

I love this forum for everyone’s views on the tactics part of the game lots of interesting comments on it it’s tip-top .

But I’d love to see some wingers in the Henderson and Jinky mold in our game

Almost there. One of the inside forwards was usually a little bit back from the front line, so on the blackboard it was 3-3-4.

On the field the reality became 4-2-4 when the cb dropped back on the fbs taking the defensive hb with him.

The attacking hb still had defensive duties - intercepting the opponents’ forward passes, countering an attacker, receiving the ball from his own backline. Then his duties changed to attack - passing to his inside forward or carrying it forward himself to a better position for the pass. Very rarely, pace  Professor @compo, unleashing the shot himself.

In your mind’s eye, draw a line back from the centre circle to the line of the penalty box. Extend the penalty box line to the touchline. That gives you two imaginary rectangles left and right, the fiefdoms in which the hbs, left and right were lords. They would be expected, however, to get involved in stramashes in their own penalty box especially the defensive chap and occasionally the attacking chap might find himself in the opponents’ box.

All of this goes out the window when your hbs are Greig and Baxter.

Eddie Turnball would in my mind have been a good example of a half  back who could tussle in and around his own penalty box then break upfield to play the killer pass or be involved in a killer one-two with a team mate but i watch lots of these modern boys and to me it looks like they are all reading a  different recipe .

Been reading this mornings paper and it's big story is this Taylor Swift concert  no doubt Murrayfield will be getting well paid for this so why aren't our financial wizzos not into this little earner we've done it before looks to me like easy money  

 Did anyone see  the  female walking race where the Spanish girl was celebrating her third  place and bronze medal got to busy showboating and the Ukrainian girl overtook her serves her bloody right i say but it's about time these walking races were scrapped if you watch them no one adheres to the rules

A central midfielder. 

 

Compo wants a midfielder to take the ball off his CB, pass it into space for a winger to run onto, before the winger plays it back for the midfielder to smash it into the top corner from the edge of the box. 

 

That's it. On repeat. 

 

Compo forgets that this is very difficult when you're playing against 12 men camped inside their own box. 

 

Compo is also living in the 50s.  

It’s not difficult at all it’s these football experts that make it sound difficult and these modern coaches who’s main football tactical knowledge comes from a blinking manual 

All we need to sign are half backs who can take a pass from their defenders at the half way line then play the ball into space for his team mate who should have the sense to be  running into and his job is easier all he has to do is return same ball to his half back who will have moved in or around the box to thump it home it's quite a simple task ,

If this is going to be the standard of football at the European championships then i might give it a miss even England were bad last night as well 

A pretty poor show not a bad crowd at Hampden though for a Friday night

The traditional speed cop’s sarcastic greeting to a speeding motorist: “Think you’re Stirling Moss, do you?” On one occasion the motorist had to tell the truth and say that he was indeed. Here he is speeding legitimately in a Maserati.

 

 

 

Now that's a racing car

Surely it should be the elusive Ian Maxwell, the very much low key SFA chief executive, who’d be responsible for that. 

You would think so but it was on last nights sports report on the STV.

I seen MrMulraney on television last night saying he was hoping to tie up Steve Clarke beyond the next World Cup qualifiers if I were Clarke I’d get it signed quickly.

rumour rumour rumour given that the transfer window doesn't open until the 14th then we  can buy and sell so just sick back and enjoy the Euros the tennis the golf and the olympics and  some wee visits to the horse racing .
