His auld man wasn’t very nice about us I can recall. Not sure he’d leave Brighton when things are going so well to come to a footballing backwater. A big club yes but we don’t have the resources to make the most of his recruiting capabilities.

Tbf surely if he turns a load of freebies, loan-to-buys and young talents into multi million pound sales then there'd be a few top clubs wanting him because of it.

 

The challenge is tougher up here granted but I wouldn't say its any less rewarding if you get it right - if you succeed with us as a DoF then you could work at and succeed with any club in Europe I reckon, especially considering the budget constraints and markets we're in for talent.

I’m one of the ragers. He’s had a day and a half to get things sorted. I wanted him to say Tav is never a captain and well past his best, Goldson’s been at it, the rest of the defence is one footed but he’s got five specialist defenders all comfortable going forward who can come in tomorrow and he knows a way round the registration rules, Dessers and Lammers are eejits and are as good as gone.

 

He said none of that. Muscat in NOW.

Did your application get lost in the post?

So Clement's first public press conformance is gonna have some / certain people raging! Every player gets a clean slate, he will work with what he has squad / player wise and Tav remains captain. 

 

Good luck Phillipe 😀

 

He’s already made his first mistake by giving them a clean bill of health even the village idiot could tell you what we have in stock isn’t working so to carry on as was is just plain dumb we all know who’s not good enough and they should be shipped out at the next transfer window his loyalty will see him down the road with the previous managers

Do people actually believe what managers and players say during press conferences?

I see Celtc FC are in the process of banning the Green Brigade*, after their show of support for proscribed terrorists Hamas.

 

Now is the time to get winning Rangers!  

 

 

 

*it's only a four game ban apparently.

Pressure from one or more of their sponsors?

That's the most logical explanation.

He has to win at the Piggery at New Year. And he has to win every single game before that. And obviously he has to win the League Cup as a very bare minimum. Even that on it's own isn't enough imho. 

Tough crowd.  

 

Thankfully, I think most of us are prepared to give him a bit more leeway, particularly in light of the current squad and atmosphere around the place.  An improvement in performances and attitude are what I'm looking for in the first few weeks.

I will judge what happens on the park with my own eyes.  You've made your mind up before a ball is even kicked.  Incredible.

I believe there are players we could do with moving on, some who should get more time, and some we need to keep, but all of them will get a chance, mainly as its October and there's nothing that can be done for a few months.

 

But, history is littered with managers that got a tune out of previously unheralded or underperforming players.
