Journalism isn't a term I'd use for the Leckie type of article (see other thread). It's part of an increased level of professional trolling that has increased markedly in Scottish football since Sutton had so much commercial success on the back of it. Tom English is a journalist of sorts that has bought into the celtic-minded blog opinion when it comes to Rangers and after fierce criticsm from Bears, has entrenched himself there, with the occasional offering of unethusiastic criticism towards things celtic due to the supposed need of the BBC to be 'impartial'. ----------- Leckie is just a bitter excuse for a professional. English is a voice you hear a lot more of on BBC Scotland than Richard Wilson.

My late Uncle managed them in the 1970's.

Note to Leckie - Morelos is the Scottish Premiership's top goalscorer - That article was truly pathetic, even relative to the usual dross than comes from the Scottish fitbaw hacks
-
That remains to be seen but if the importance of his career path/finances outweight any 'homesickness', I doubt very much he'd want a return to Scotland.

Cummings may be possible but McKay is someone any sane manager will want to keep as an option.

Mark Warburton is available again. :devil:

Forest tend to go through a couple of managers every year and not surprisingly, don't get anywhere.

Rangers’ Jordan Rossiter having ‘hard time’ in fitness fight
buster. replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
A signing that had a significant amount of risk attached and the gamble seems to have been lost. With such cross border signings of young players, one decent return will pay for several that don't return anything. Get the next one right. -
The January Transfer Window Rumours and Deals Thread

McGuane may be young but he might already be due a testemonial given he joined Arsenal when six years of age. -
A good, what I'd imagine to be intended as a provisionally short-term appointment,... alongside Murty to the end of the season. Good because I think his strength his savvy man-management , something that I don't think Murty has.
-
Good application and determination from the team with several excellent individual performances (if Tav wore green and white, he'd be worth 10M). More than worth the point and if it weren't for the reflexes of Gordon, we'd have won it. Morelos needs a rest and the team need some creativity for the games against the smaller teams.
-
His legs aren't great but Murty has inherited a very light squad, currently with few options. We have to hope that when he gets the ball, he can do something with it before they swarm on top of him. It actually allows for cautious optimism wrt to us connecting middle to front.....but at the same time will probably give them more space. ps. That teamsheet has the numbers 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 not featuring in the starting XI.

The January Transfer Window Rumours and Deals Thread

If we persist in bringing in and expecting old but expensive injury prone legs to make a difference in Scottish football Auchenhowie might as well build a retirement home instead of the new stand/facility. -
Miss World with a blue hat might tempt me to think otherwise
-
Not many options left wrt personnel. ..................................Fod................................. Tav.............Alves.............Wilson............John .........................McCrorie............................... Candeias...Holt............Barjonas........Windass ........................Morelos................................. Can only hope we do as well as we possibly can and see where it takes us.

Was away when this somewhat predictable news broke. From a distance it appears to me that Dave King is too often for doing things his way, without due consideration as to reality and eventual probable consequences....It's strange given the guy is or has been switched on and clever enough to do exceptionally well in business. As for this not affecting Rangers, unless there is new money from existing or new sources then I don't see how it doesn't. Not to mention the make-up of the board and a probable new chairman. The annoucement of Murty until the end of the season can be viewed as a defectionary tactic but may be more a natural holding move that gives more scope for a fresh approach once things pan out, not to mention the financial saving on wages and a probable approach to the transfer window. IF we can find money to plug holes, I think we'd be much better off with King away from the boardroom table.

We need a fat cat or three but not in the dugout.

If you look at some of the main players at Barca and how many career games they've played, it's clear they know what they are doing in relation to 'sports science', training, approach to games, result. Over the past few years Barca have clocked up a relatively large number of games in which the 'usual suspects' don't often get or need to be rested. Messi is a good example of this and at 30 years old has played 608 games for the club (526 goals). The only two others with more appearences for Barca are Xavi (767) and Iniesta (649). Others in the top 10 include Puyol (593), Busquets (456), Pique (418).

You could compile a list of 'good fits' but when you take into account our finances, current circumstances around the club in Scottish football, due dilligence and phone calls to Warburton, now McInnes........there wouldn't be much of a list left. Just another example of expectations outweighing reality at this point in time.

I thought it was them who were paranoid.

There is no 'easy' about that your scenario.

You don't know how that conversation between GM and the board went wrt taking the role up until the end of the season. Personally, I think the board needed him to say yes. I'm not defending GM in the sense I think he's the right man for the job, I don't. The whole club is an ongoing clusterf**k that instead of trying to put a lid on around the time of the AGM, so as to build afresh on various fronts,....the board thought, more of pretty much the same would be ok. Until the board start to get their act together in various ways, we'll go no-where, with Murty or Mr.X. Note that the apparent quality of a prospective Mr.X in the current circumstances will not be at a level that will install confidence.
-
I think the club need to guide him if we want to go big on a general effort to put pressure on officials (like some other clubs do, successfully). It has a better chance of success, if it is 'second nature' and sustained over a period of time. I think the lad came into the press conference with his hands and mind full, thinking about the first team and the OF game.
-
Murty is a straightforward guy and is simply saying it as he saw it. If there had been a more general decision to put or build pressure on refs via the media then he'd have been told and most probably have complied. Is that commendable honesty or naivity/inexperience of role ? IMO, probably a bit of both.
