I’ve not seen anything from McKenna that puts him ahead either, certainly not on current form.
-
Exactly. Not saying it’s s good idea. Can’t think of another way of coming up with £50 million though....
-
I think it would probably take some sort of wealthy benefactor to put up the money, probably on the understanding they get the Fir Park land when we move out. Which even allowing for this benefactor being out there would be a massive gamble that they could break even or close to it... I don’t imagine the planning and execution of such a hypothetical plan would be done in a few months either. Anything over and above your basic concrete soulless stadium probably ramps up the costs quite quickly. My three must haves would be: 4 sides grass pitch safe standing for home and away fans.

Aye, when the Ravenscraig loyal and Ravenscraig CSC fill the south stand.

Think O’neill could’ve done better than a Stoke side heading for League one. Although looking at their squad, he maybe feels he can turn it round. Wouldn't grudge Robinson at all if he got the opportunity, but selfishly hope he doesn’t. This could all move very quickly given the international break, or they may choose to go with a caretaker and have a replacement in for March?
-
They’ve named 5. McGovern, Carson, Bailey, Peacock and Farrell.
-
He’s unfortunately got dementia. I’m amazed nobody is talking about Gordon Strachan. Think he’s some sort of Director of Football at Dundee? If Robinson were to go, I’d have him in a heartbeat. I suspect Robinson will be heading to Edinburgh one way or another in next few weeks. (was there an overlap with Leann Dempster and Robinson?)

Alex Mcleish!
-
Can’t see that being successful, but it’s compliance officer roulette, who knows... I think Nemalinen (sp?) is playing him on.
-
Gary Holt was being interviewed pre-match on Wednesday and was very open about how they planned to play. Similar to Robinson’s “earn the rite to play” but went further, actually saying he hopes it’s a terrible game as that suits them. Lead me to wonder, is their less pressure on Livi and Hamilton to even attempt to entertain given they have nobody watching anyway? Neither have a pitch conducive to playing football, so that may be a factor? Although given the price they charge at the Toni Macaroni, surely they do have some responsibility to entertain the crowd...
-
I think the free kick that lead to their goal was a foul, but he made an absolute meal of it. Got booked for diving in the Scotland game v Belgium.
-
Don’t disagree, and an EPL club will pay Rangers or Celtic more than they’d pay Motherwell for the same players. The “problem”* in England now is that your Leicester and Evertons don’t need to sell players, so a Man Utd for example have to pay stupid money. *i say problem, from a competitive point of view it’s great that Leicester for example can hold on to their best players and not have their squad dismantled, but it’s pushing up the already ludicrous prices.
-
Rangers won’t get in the champions league though, even in the unlikely event they won the league. Any money they bring is already spent. Rangers PR company are trying to push up the price of Morelos by putting out these fake bids from Chinese clubs. He’ll go to a bottom end EPL club at some point, possibly January for far less than some of the ludicrous figures quoted.
-
Gillespie was there 10 minutes before O’donnell threw himself over him in a vague hope of the ref evening up the red card.
-
His sole contribution to the game, a cross that sneaked in, hooked just after the hour mark, a good game by his standards...
-
Was he allowed to play tonight?
-
We can only compete with Aberdeen if we make the best of our resources and they don’t make the best of theirs. Yes, we’re shopping in the same market, but we’re watching the guy with the sticker gun hoping to pick up a bashed tin.
-
We had a couple of games like Hibs at home, where it could have cost us if they’d improved in the 2nd half. Fortunately they didn’t and we got the 2nd goal, but had wasted 2 or 3 chances to get a 2nd before half time.
-
We can compete with Rangers and Celtic in a one off game. As we’ve shown in the semi final win, or play off games. We can’t or certainly have no right to compete with them over a season. It’s not just the quality of player they have, but the depth of squad. They “bought” one of our best performers from last season, and punted him out on loan as he wasn’t even in their 23. To he honest we have no right to compete with Aberdeen, but the gap isn’t as big, so if they don’t spend well and we do....
-
Craig Samson school of goalkeeping.
-
I think this was it. May 1997
-
Ikpeazu and Lyndon dykes both absolutely bullied their centre halves. Im not sure Devante Cole can match that physicality, but he’s probably the best option (unless we stick Hartley up front....) I saw a fair chunk of their game and they seem better suited to counter attacking despite normally dominating games. I’m afraid we have to park the bus, and hope to pick them off with a set piece or on the break and take it from their. If we’re still in the game when they get their penalty we’ve got a chance.
-
John Gaghan might get in then.
-
I’m sure I saw a stat a few weeks back that they’d drawn 17/46 games 1-1. I think I’d bet them to win every one of those. Ive been working down there, and also watched the documentary, so taken a bit of an interest in them, but they are an absolute car crash! Great support mind you, you don’t see many Liverpool or Man Utd tips walking about the streets there. Something I’m always quite envious of.
-
I don’t think you could turn down a club that size, provided you were given a good contract. Given how it’s ended with Jack Ross, there’s no way they’ll go for another SPFL manager though, so we should be safe from that one.
