Kasanwijro taken off injured...

Rangnick might be available soon. Civil war in Austria. Make him DoF; give him free reign.

I think we're jumping the gun. The link is tenuous.

Rangers boss Philippe Clement is favourite to be the new Belgium boss in his homeland....after his former chief executive and mentor Vincent Mannaert was appointed Belgian FA sports director. https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/24730869.rangers-manager-philippe-clement-favourite-belgium-job/

You've spelt devastated wrong.

That's actually one of the few positions we have occupied (Director of Recruitment, Nils Koppen).

When our two stubborn posters clashed I was expecting Rumble in the Jungle not Tyson-Jake Paul. They're now having a reasonable discussion...

Really? Football then, or now?

I'd bring some Pampers...

I would pay to see that.

For the record, I think Souness is a legend, which nothing will diminish. And I'll always enjoy listening and hearing about what he has to say about his time with us. His football opinions are out of date, though. I'm quite disappointed to learn that he was asked to interview some candidates.

It's not trolling, it's just a differing of opinion. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. People really need to take their ego of it: just because you like and respect someone doesn't mean they are without fault; and vice versa. I still laugh at those that call Gerrard a snake for leaving. It's just a bruised ego, for me.

The famous boot room. You couldn't run a club that way now.

I can see where Souness is coming from with his Lampard preference - I've dismissed it out of hand before - but I don't think that's the sort of 'positive' we require. I mean, not only will they be more expensive than he thinks, but I doubt many fans would be happy with a raft of loans. It is good to get his reasoning.

That's a lovely apostrophe...

Best decision that's ever been made. Ever.

Surely Bocanegra is more suited to Director of Football than CEO? What role did he have at Atlanta?

Seriously - just ignore. It's not worth it.

As it's the international break, I thought this would be better here. BMCK was back for a spell last year, iirc. We spoke about Dostoevsky. I felt inferior.

Brave of you to loan players to our direct rivals...

That's @der Berliner's Christmas present sorted:

Me too.

Oh - ppg is only useful when it agrees with you? Disappointing. In the Hearts match: 2 or 3 (who signed Raskin?) were MB signings, I think; 5 were PC signings. He does play most of his signings. Like I've said elsewhere he did want more but we we couldn't get them. We can't blame him for that. I have no evidence. I'm not disagreeing with you, per se. I just get the sense that it's down to invididual injury prone players that he didn't sign (Yilmaz, Lawrence, Tamundo, Danilo, etc.) that we must release to get over it. Cortes, I agree, is the one solely on his watch. Worse case interpretation, it's the same. It's not worse.
