This is a carve up - McCoist

I can't see the Blackburn manager last 6 months if I'm honest, the chicken farmers are confusing and asking him to go over to India midweek to have a talk with them, did that mid season last year.

Now that it seems to be finally over I can say I'm disappointed we missed out on a player who i think would have been a great addition but at same time I feel the fee involved is to much for him.

 

i am surprised he has chosen to join Blackburn though as they are hardly a club who look like they will have a good season or even show any faith in the current manager for a sustained period of time.

Has he signed for them then????

Not yet but he will...

A complete shambles from start to finish.

 

It all started with the 600k bid in January, and it's been like a stupid war of attrition ever since with us refusing to go near the asking price. Then Blackburn come in, don't fuck about, and go straight to 2.8M on their second bid, leading to a further 4 bids from us, none of which meet the asking price.

 

It's not often I say something like this, but if I was UTD, I'd refuse to sell to Rangers given how much they've mucked about.

Blackburn are like the rich tourists in poor countries who drive up local inflation by paying well over the odds for things because it is small change for them. That may not be "fucking about" but it's hardly desirable behaviour.

Strange logic going on here. One says that never to believe what yu read in the papers then say we'll never know what the truth is unless he speaks to the press???

 

There is nothing new in this hatred of Rangers by DU. The same thing happened with Richard Gough. I can't remember the precise comments, but the memory was that DU wouldn't sell to a direct league competitor. Fortunately, we had loads of cash and bought him after a year at Spurs. There was also the story of that thug Jim McLean skelping some player - Duncan Ferguson - on the back of the head because he was wearing a Rangers tammy and made some derogitory comments about us while doing so.

 

United are a shite team that think they are a lot better than they actually are, based no doubt on a wee run as part of that other half, and similar thinking, of the New Firm. If they take points of Rangers, they think they've won the cup, title or whatever, just like other wee teams do when they beat us.

 

I do think though that we need to get serious about making realistic bids.
