Moves them down a tier with the irish and Scandinavians. Mickey Mouse leagues playing at the the wrong time of year.

What do we all think about this? I think it'd be good for the Scottish league as they wouldn't be competing against the Premier League on TV and it would give the rest of us something to watch in the close season.

 

 

I remember visiting fort william several years ago. It was May. Shop keeper said it had rained every single day so far that year.

 

 

Of course the scots would be prefer summer football. Wouldnt work in England though. 

 

 

 

Plus it would make winter so much more miserable... watching a footy game  used to be about the only thing worth getting out of bed for on a cold rainy saturdy afternoon...

I'm guessing that the big clubs voted against it considering it'd make their Champions League/Europa League campaigns a bit difficult.

They should consider playing all matches at 5am to tap the lucrative Chinese market.

[Vacamion]

Oi.

It's wall to wall blue sky and 20 something degrees up here.

(Ok, that hardly ever happens)

Some of the benefits of switching to a summer schedule put forth by researchers include saving money on electricity and heating--no wonder a lot of Scottish clubs seem up for it!

Looks like Rangers will be appointing Warbuton and Weir as their new management team. Good appointment. 

[sylofox]

Set to be named Glasgow Rangers 15th manager in 143yrs.

Has any club had less as a rough average 1 every 9 years.

MM must have done that in his time with us

Think it is safe to say he has in his time as an owner

 

Yes we know it is a 2 club league most of the time but the fact if you are not winning would push most clubs to change.

Rangers will dick it next year, all they ever needed was a competent manager and it's a great job for Warburton. I'd fancy Hibs to push them but I've got a feeling they'll have to do a lot of replacing - if they can keep the likes Allan, Cummings, Malonga and Handling there I'd fancy them to run Rangers close but surely one or two will be off?

Alan Cummings?!

[Livingston Fox]

Glasgow Rangers died 3 years ago.

I think Redknapp was only West Ham's 8th manager. They've probably had eight since then though.

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

Scottish sides in the top tier, aren't as bad as people try to make out. Iv'e seen some very good football up there, over the past few seasons.

If Waggy goes to Rangers he's leaving my avatar for good, Waggy Watch is over and I'll cry myself to sleep for weeks. First Nigel, now this shit.

Not having a good time lately, eh Mark? 

 

Cheer up, The new season will be here soon.

[Stevosevic]

Great move for Waggy, massive and great club.

[Mark_w]

It's not happened yet. And it wouldn't be a great move for him, not even close, he'd be much better off staying at Wigan and hoping to earn himself a spot in the starting line-up when they get back to the Championship. The SPL is a tip and Rangers are skint, it'd be a stupid career move if he did go there.

[Stevosevic]

I think the appeal of being able to play for a club infront of 40k is still there.

It would be for me anyway, it would top playing in League one personally.

RANGERS MEDICALS FOR WIGAN DUO 

Wigan Athletic duo Martyn Waghorn and James Tavernier are training with Rangers, according to Sky sources.

We understand the pair are also set to undergo medicals ahead of a potential move to Ibrox.

[Mark_w]

 

Confirmed for those who are interested.

[Samilktray]

Rangers are such a poverty football club

[Stevosevic]

Playing in front of 40k people beats playing in league one for Wigan imo, regardless of standard.

Rangers have a chance of getting back to the SPL this season, if so, he'll be playing in old firms and perhaps competing for trophies - again beats Wigan in league one.

[Stevosevic]

Waghorn scored 12 goals in his debut season for us as a 19year old.

I would have predicted him to have a better career than he is having.

[The Horse's Mouth]

I do feel really bad for Waghorn, as I feel we're pretty complicit in his career falling like a stone like it has done. But who knows, in a couple years time if he's still there he could be playing in Europe so good luck to him
