Michael bisping is cringe as **** so far Card delayed by lightning already

Good point to be fair. Rohl is much worse Why you're quoting "Rangers should beat everyone" sarcastically i dont know

Less bottling and more Nick Kenny reverting to his standard Would have been interesting if Gezzy was there England taking apart Scotland and Netherlands was impressive though. Good to see them deliver the result that was expected

Ooooo bloke that led took over a team that lost their best player and lost 3 in 3 or a nonce that had 1 win in 7 for Rangers. This guy gets to build his own squad to be fair and is in a lower division, so he should nail being better than 1 in 7.

I'd have Rowett a thousand times over Martin.

Some games closer than expected but 4/4 Thankfully Nick Kenny stopped playing like a top 4 player after a few legs. Some finish by Rocky to win it for Norn Iron!

Thankfully we've got years experience of putting up with the above, so at least we're well versed

I fancied Poland to do well. Weird seeing Mansell play for the republic. Some very close games today that I didnt expect I'd expect England, Scotland, Netherlands and Northern Ireland to win tomorrow. But who knows how itll go!

He's the most "company man" type I can imagine I can't wait to hear the excuses being rolled out when we're struggling to break down low blocks and conceding goals on the counter/or due to defenders trying to play like prime Pirlo. His go to at Rangers was that the players were struggling with the pressure and he needs time to get through to the players and help them out with that. I'd expect if he is in charge and uses a young team, he'll go down that route again. At least the excuses will be entertaining, we've not had a top notch excuse maker since Rodgers.

Did Richard Wright ever play for us? I do not recall that Either way its a very decent effort

Clinging onto the feeling that GLC's man in the inside seems to have about as much knowledge of inside running of the club as ramadaone.

There's 2 possible paths. 1. We agree a fee with Arsenal 2. No agreement is reached, he still goes to Arsenal and a 3rd party decide how much compensation we should receive.

Definitely consist of 20 mins of Vardy telling people he loves drinking Huel, taking CBD gummies and shaving his nads with manscaped products.

Just had a quick look on the Burnley forum, seems that they're as keen as we are

yes then! They absolutely love that garbage up there now. Do the right thing Burnley.

You can't be shocked. But obviously the win is that it shouldn't happen. Would be class if the OP could get the reason in writing then share it on social media.

Rudders: It's June, shouldn't we start doing something? Top: Relaaaaaax guyyy!

I expect Iran and Egypt will probably pose more of a challenge than you think. New Zealand are grim though I'll give you that

Sadly as I was typing that, this is basically what I imagined would happen if a statement was released

Nothing like wiping your hands, feeling the damp and realising it's at the end and you're wiping your hands in the same place 20 other people have

This month we really need a statement from either Top or Rudkin to outline the expectations of the season. Real expectations and an honest overview of the state of the club. We don't need nitty gritty details or anything that will give our position away (although anyone in football with a brain and a phone probably has a good idea of the score anyway) Ideally high level view of - Do we need to shift key players? - Are we able to sign players - if so where are we looking? - Realistic targets for the next season and then 3, 5 seasons. Should we expect we have to cut our cloth and the aim is stabilise? - Work being done that can be discussed at a high level Just something to let the fans know where the club stands, what we should expect and what is being done. I'm no comms guy that's for sure, but they have said they want to be transparent. For me that'd start with, as a minimum: Laying down the situation as best they can What we should realistically expect as fans (we can probably draw our own conclusions from the other points) What work is being done. It feels like we're all speculating with little bits of information we can gather and piece together. It'd be nice for the club to actually give us an insight into the situation so we're all on the same page.

I'd take 3m for souts. We're in a position now where cashflow trumps meeting any PSR requirements. Given his injury record as well I think 3m is fair. Hope he does well though and stays injury free. I imagine fans will be quite underwhelmed with this summer. I hope they are anyway, because if Rudkin gambles the house this season and fails again. Tgen id say there's a good chsnce we lose the house. How is the guy still in a job?!

Yeah I'll give you that, there's huge range of ability between being Elite and thinking Russell Martin is a good option. Just falling in the mid point between those two would be good enough for me right now.

Cheers Buzz killington! On McCarron, I'm not falling into the trap of assuming he's elite because he's worked for an elite company. The man looks like he loves a slide deck though! I think we'll have a good idea of his ability after 18-24 months. If he does have any significant influence, it's gonna take a year minimum before we start seeing any evidence of the results of it. It should become quite apparent if he's allowed to stamp his own authority though as we're pretty easy to read as a club. For what it's worth I'm in the same boat on your 2nd line , I find it hard to believe we have any real interest. I expect it's either: 1. journalist(s) making an educated guess and if it comes off they look like they have the inside scoop. or 2. I really don't want to credit the club too much, but perhaps there is something to the idea that they chuck some rancid names out to people in the media, in order to soften the blow when the actual appointment happens. All I know is, if it was to happen then 23 league one teams will get a temporary fan while he is here.

Apparently we get 10k a day for each player at the world cup. So hopefully that means we get the lovely money for him and Ghana last till June 30th. Between him, Fatawu and Souttar we might cover Jannik's wages for the duration of the world cup.
