I think all the talk about tactics really overstates how important they are. Of course you need a well set up team, but at the end of the day it's the quality of the players and their motivation to play for the team that will win us games.

We could make him manager? Kill two birds with one stone.

This feels worse than when we had Barton in the team.

I knew it was going to be a bad season, but not this bad.

I didn't say Aberdeen had anything to do with us dropping points. Aberdeen have a new manager and a pretty large change of personnel with fewer resources. The comparison of their fortunes and ours does not give clement a good look. I will bow to the XG god though, hopefully he strikes soon.

Unfortunately for Clement I think Aberdeen have killed him off. I've always said that it's going to take a season or more to get back on track and that this season is not worth judging him on. However, it's very hard to justify that when Aberdeen are going on such a good run with no where near the resources.

Bogging lineup! Need to win this today

I don't think there is any revolt going on (aside from our style of football), however, if there are any players kicking up a fuss then get rid. I'm tired of wanks.

I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see much of Danilo this season. Can't feel positive about it at all.

Aye? Not being funny but the club has a tendency to feed untruths to these guys when it comes injuries. Lawrence and Igmame spring to mind.

That would be mad, and exactly the sort of behaviour that got us into this mess.

This is the problem, we have chopped 10 mil or more off the wage bill if rumours are to be believed. Trying to extract more from players on much less is going to be very difficult. I also don't think this rebuild is anywhere near finished yet. This is going to be multiple windows before we can get ourselves righted again.

McLeish restructured a team of 100 million or so, and we still had the financial clout and reputation to capture the two most desirable free transfers in the world at the time, when the restructuring really started we had to scrape the barrel and came 3rd in the league. We are unfortunately restructuring from a well beaten second best team this time round, and we have been psychologically rammed. The only way out I see is if we actually put a long term plan of action into place, and this probably means short term misery.

To be honest I sympathise with Clement. He is overseeing the largest financial restructuring since McLeish, and the football was absolutely bogging back then too. It's going to be like this for a while.

Bradaric sounds too much like Barasic. It's a no from me.
