Auld_Reekie Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Im undecided but I do get impression players are playing for him. It's important not to underestimate that - I dont think that would be the case with many of the possible alternatives being touted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some cases they will because they fear change in case they lose their place. There's nothing to say they won't play for a new manager.

There's no guarantee of that - see George Burley for a graphic example of the phenomenon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my fear. I don't think any of the candidates mentioned are in the Burley mould - Moyes, Mackay, Lambert etc seem really self-confident and bolshie enough to command a dressing room, but it could go wrong in other ways, i.e. if they are too dictatorial or arrogant.

they've_been_suckered Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 It’s worrying listening to Barry Fergushon and Billy Dodds discuss the next steps for Scotland. Scary what they come out with. I wouldn’t trust them to do a 4 piece jigsaw never mind oversee structural changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its fvcking unreal and i'm sure sportsound had him on in purpose to spite me - i have tweeted them numerous times asking why the likes of him and Chick Young/Kris Boyd are on discussing something as serious He made an arse of the opening 5 minutes - cue 5 minutes of jokery wasting valuable time Then Tom English is in the middle of making a really good point and be buts in with another inane interjection stopping English in his tracks A fvcking idiot Edited October 12, 2017 by Ally Bongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanderark14 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Kris Commons was being ridiculously stupid last night. He tried to compare Coleman's tenure at wales with strachans by saying they both failed to get to the world cup so why is it ok for coleman to stay in his job.

ErsatzThistle Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 My ideal fitba radio program would be hosted by Richard Gordon with Jim Spence and Tom English providing the journo's perspective and Michael Stewart and Stevie Thompson providing the players perspective. David Currie thinks he's funny and a bit of a patter merchant but he's not. He can feck off and take Billy Dodds, Chic Young, Alan Preston, Jonathan Sutherland and Craig Paterson with him. And give Barry Ferguson and Kris Boyd some nice crayons to play with. 4 minutes ago, vanderark14 said: Kris Commons was being ridiculously stupid last night.

And give Barry Ferguson and Kris Boyd some nice crayons to eat. Yeah, i agree. Tom English is by far the best journalist in Scottish football. He's objective, insightful and isn't beholden to anyone when it comes to giving his opinion. Agree with you on the players too. Although i've fixed your comment on Boyd and Ferguson.

Great line up, I would add Stuart Cosgrove to that panel. Those whose entire existence revolves round the ugly sisters would hate every moment of it though!

vanderark14 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Chick Dung claims Strachan is angry at being pushed out as are some of the players. If true, do none of them think they’ve failed? Do they think that it’s acceptable to fail? Bonner made the point that we have great momentum and that’s an argument in favour of Strachan staying, bull shit! Any momentum we had when Strachan reverted to type in the final game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure I’d believe a word that came out of Chico’s mouth but if that’s true then Strachan should get a grip. He had an outside chance of keeping his job due to turning it around after the first four games and almost making the playoffs but he should remember that the position we were in after four games was down to him and nobody else. Did he really expect to keep his job after failing to make the playoffs two campaigns in a row? He must have suspected he wouldn’t get a new contract surely? It was time for a change and I’m sure whoever gets the job will be capable of doing just as well as Strachan, even if it is someone that the ‘experts’ on here don’t think can do a good job.

I just said he didn’t say that Rangers fans deserve better than any other set of fans. Anyone who doesn’t hate Rangers can clearly see what he means though - the fans deserve better performances from the players considering how much they cost and how much the fans pay for their tickets and also because of the success they’ve enjoyed in the past. Is Boyd correct? I don’t know and I don’t really care either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
