With the chance to manage in Europe? Plenty would jump at the chance, including those who have managed at a far higher level than Clyde, Kelty Hearts and Alloa. 

I honestly don't see it. 

 

Our last few interims, outwith Ferguson, have been: Steven Davis, Graeme Murty (x2), Jimmy Nicholl, Stuart McCall, Kenny McDowall, Ian Durant. 

 

I share your dissatisfaction with Ferguson, but the irony is he probably has the most managerial experience out of those when they were put in charge, outwith McCall's 3 year spell at Motherwell. 

 

I was very much expecting an appointment like this - hence the reason why I would have preferred to keep PC until the summer.

Great gesture if true. 

 

Anyway, he's away, the investment / takeover is underway and hopefully a new, exciting and successful period in our history about to start. 

We're finally in agreement.

Apparently he waved half his pay-off. 

Apparently the quantum is higher than has previously been suggested.

Philippe Clement is entitled to a significantly higher pay off from Rangers than has previously been suggested.

 

The Ibrox hierarchy confirmed on Sunday night that they had taken the decision to remove the Belgian as their head coach. The final details of his settlement are currently being thrashed out between the Ibrox side and Clement’s representatives. Reports last week claimed that Clement’s settlement figure was £1.2 million but the figure is significantly higher.

Logic suggests the later will be more accurate but we'll have to wait for the accounts to see if we get the truth.j

Who’s reporting the fee waiver? PC or the Club?

We should have sent for Sam he’d have jumped at the job instead of bringing in these four dumplings .

Walter Smith was rightly furious with both the immature and stupid idiots.

 

Appointing this level of person as interim manager is ripping the pish out of your own club. 

 

Having a square go with the toilet wall is probably representative of what brought him such managerial success in non-league football but whether it will faze Jose Mourinho is up for debate.

 

You just have to hope he's more grown-up now.

Get along to this on Sunday you might get something worthwhile

Yeah, he was just a youngster back then.

 

Only thirty one or so.

 

Most men mature to the point where they stop discreetly flicking the Vs at photographers when they turn forty. We should be in the clear.

The schedule in the coming weeks is dreadful, so I expect the doom-brigade in full hysteria mood soon. No matter the fact that they have little to work with, given the size and status of the squad.
