Shaki Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Was a guy called Ronnie Middleton Angus when you were there? He was a teacher at my school and rumoured to be Angus. Good bloke. Sadly he died of cancer a few years back. Not when I was there 2001-2004ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gladstone Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Would nobody prefer Steven Fletcher over Lee Miller?Yeah - I made my team selection all too hastily, and also forgot about Steven Fletcher. I just remembered about him a couple of minutes ago. I'd have him as first choice partner for Kris "mince pie" Boyd.Obviously when I get the job, I'll think a little longer about my team selections. (Not much longer though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contract is for life too at 3 million a year.All I did was tell them that Kenny Miller is shit, and at first they were completely astounded but then I backed up my claim with cold hard facts and youtube clips and they figured I must be a genius to have figured that one out when EVERYONE before me failed to spot it.

Adam Easy Wishes Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I think the next manager will be Walter Smith.Yeah...was thinking about this earlier. Contract at a troubled Rangers runs out in January, no money to buy players for the third transfer window running, stagnating and in danger of losing the 'legendary' status he has amongst the Rangers fans.All makes sense.

Guest Gladstone Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 By the way, does anyone else feel sorry for George Burley?He looks like a completely broken man. I think he truly believed he'd do a good job for Scotland, and really wants to succeed, but he just doesn't seem to have it in him.I feel no ill will for him royally fucking up as Scotland boss, I don't think he did any of it on purpose. He's just out of his depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 The list starts out as possibilities for the job, then it just turns into a list of Scottish managers than the bookies can think of. Except Darren Ferguson! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except Darren Ferguson!Darren Ferguson! Never thought of him... He's a genuine contender, I reckon. He's as good as any SPL manager in terms of ability, not nearly as good as Walter Smith in the trophy department, but surely somewhere near capable.

Soda Jerk Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 And if things are going pear shaped by half time, he can get on the blower to his Dad. Maybe even put it on speaker phone, so he can give them all a good seeing to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I'd have Billy Davies in a second (fnar fnar). He may be an insufferable cum-pancake, but he's a good manager who gets the best out of his players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gladstone Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I'm genuinely happy.More for Burley than anything else. I think it will be a relief for him more than anything. He appeared to be too proud to quit, but he clearly had lost faith in himself.Now we need to get a new manager though. I'm now starting to think it may not be Walter Smith, although I'm also forgetting that we're not that far from January, so it may well be Smith.I've a sneaky feeling that Jimmy Calderwood may just get the nod.

Scorge Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Cheerio! Didn't see the Wales game because I was in Dunfermline watching the Jags crash and burn, but was listening to Your Call (the shame, etc) on the way back and thought 'Aye, he's toast now'.Billy Davies for me, unless Dalglish fancies a go.....
