Ten Caat Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 Big Fat Sam comes even more expensive than DM does :rofl: When he resigned in early summer Palace agreed to him going as long as he did not take another club job anywhere for the remaining 2 years of his contract. Not sure if it is a bonus payment for keeping them up but he is collecting 2 million over the period of the 2 years for sitting at home scratching his arse. However if he takes a club job anywhere in this period then he has to pay Palace 2 million compo..... Sevco it isn't then... Quote
Nips_and_Tatties Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 My hun mate is hoping for Mike Ashley to sell his stake in the Toon and invest in Rangurs. Apparently Ashley wants European football and this could be a platform for getting a business foothold abroad. I reckon that could be contrived thinking, particularly post Brexit. Most huns want big fat corroupt Sam. No way do you have mates! Oh mind you..a hun. Carry on Quote
rocket_scientist Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 Sevco it isn't then... In the mind of the hun, they are the people. They don’t live by normal rules. The EBT thing was something they were entitled to do. HMRC can go fuck themselves. Money is never an object because they are a big club, housing tens of thousands of like-minded knuckledraggers. So Allardyce is who they want. What they want and what they get can be two different things of course but it’s interesting how the integrity of the man is something that they don’t consider. They’re not overlooking his corroupt bung nature. It just doesn’t compute as an issue for them. He would be a perfect personality fit for this horrible club. Unfortunately he would be effective would be my guess. Quote
TheDeeDon Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 I don't think the huns would really want him as manager, this is based on his record against Celtic, not just taking the results into account, but our painfully abject performances against them and us supposedly being their closest challengers. I honestly don't think McInnes would cope with the pressure which would come with the Hun job, or any other big job for that matter. Quote
Garlogie_Granite Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 Chris McLaughlin saying Sevco will approach wiggy this week to speak to McInnes Quote
Madbadteacher Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 Jist mind it's the weegia reporting all this. The WEEGIA! Quote
KennyFuckinPowers Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 Going to go against the general consensus on here by the look of things, but I actually think he will go, IF they actually approach him and comp is agreed. There are a few little reasons though in where I think he would stay, and they are the likes of Stevie May & Joe Lewis joining because of him, along with a couple of other players obviously. Also the stadium go ahead would have a huge pull as well. Add to that the Zombie bastard's well documented off field drama's. On the other hand though, if we are all being honest with ourselves, making us the 2nd best team in Scotland is about the most he can realistically do considering the finances available to him, and those finances won't change any time soon, and whether they actually have it or not, the Zombie's will use available money as a lure to him. He does have a slight affiliation with them, but never striked as me as the stereotypical buffoon that usually comes out of there ( John Brown, Terry Butcher etc... ) There's also facilities in place there that could prove a swing for him, much bigger wage budget, much bigger fan base and all that shite that goes with it. If it's going to happen, it'll happen this coming week. Quote
Ten Caat Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 And given Celtic's resources making sevco 2nd best is Scotland is all he can realistically achieve there also. However given the resources available, sustaining Aberdeen in 2nd is a greater achievement than getting sevco there where the fans would demand they then overtake Celtic. If it didnt happen by the end of his 2nd full season there (which it wouldnt without mahoosive investment of funds) he would find himself bulleted and reputation tarnished. His ambition to manage West Brom has never been hidden. I think he will reject any sevconian offer ( I presume sevco are already aware of the release fee.....amazed they can afford this) Quote
Slim Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 I hope if Rangers do meet the release fee/value of his contract, we insist on cash upfront. Quote
Ernie Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 The compo is only the start. I don't think the weegia can comprehend the money McInnes is on, in particular to secure his last contract. And, unless he is a hun nutter, which I suspect he is not, he will want to see a humungous budget available otherwise he will take two seasons to confirm second place at best and that means he'll be sacked. It's a win win for me. I like him, I hope he stays, but if he goes we get the funds to play the market. Quote
rocket_scientist Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 Derek McInnes WILL NOT be the next Sevco manager My prediction is that by Thursday at the latest, your prediction will be wrong. Quote
BigAl Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 My prediction is that by Thursday at the latest, your prediction will be wrong. As with most things time will tell. I still stand by my prediction Rocket. Quote
rocket_scientist Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 As with most things time will tell. I still stand by my prediction Rocket. Much as I see and despair of Derek's limitations, I hope you're right and I'm wrong. It's just not good losing anyone to them. However capable or otherwise they might be. They would be 2nd in the league if he goes. AFC would be fighting for 3rd. There's very little management talent for us to pull from. I just can't stand mediocrity. In anything. There's no excuse for it. Quote
francis_begbie Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 His ambition to manage West Brom has never been hidden. I think he will reject any sevconian offer ( I presume sevco are already aware of the release fee.....amazed they can afford this) I’d love to see him at West Brom one day. It’s inevitable he’ll leave Pittodrie some time soon and I’d rather it was anywhere rather that Ibrox. EPL clubs are obsessed with foreign managers. He may not get a chance at The Hawthorns. Quote
scotfree Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 The Rangers have no chance for YEARS to challenge Celtic for the title. Even if the huns won both cups every year, their fans would still be not happy. Whoever takes the job is taking a poisoned chalice. Quote

A couple of days ago I was asked how many English managers have won the EPL. I didn’t know and I couldn’t think of one. The answer is zero. Howard Wilkinson at Leeds was the last Englishman to win Division 1. Quote
rocket_scientist Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 The Rangers have no chance for YEARS to challenge Celtic for the title. Even if the huns won both cups every year, their fans would still be not happy. Whoever takes the job is taking a poisoned chalice. I’m not so sure. Celtic aren’t invincible. As Kilmarnock showed yesterday and as Dundee and Hibs have shown recently. I’m dying to find out why Rodgers is despised by certain ex players at Liverpool, famous and hugely successful ex players who didn’t actually play for him. Something went on behind the scenes. I can’t warm to Brenda. His smugness offends. I would love to see him under pressure. Even we with a team full of journeymen have had chances to compete with them. Even this season we’ve picked up more points than Celtic in all the other matches, the same old story of the head-to-heads being the downfall. McInnes isn’t a winner. He’s not clever enough tactically and he can’t inspire sufficiently when it matters. If Rangurs recruit a good manager, they can challenge for the title. They’re so poisoned though that they keep on getting it wrong. They know fuck all about football if they go for McInnes. Quote
rocket_scientist Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 We were looking at Pedro’s past. His best win ratio was 45% as a manager, for teams we’d hardly ever heard of. His 14/27 at Rangers was the best he’d ever done. It was a crazy appointment. As Kenny Miller proved at Murrayfield yesterday. Quote
donsdaft Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 A couple of days ago I was asked how many English managers have won the EPL. I didn’t know and I couldn’t think of one.

tom_widdows Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 Since the money grabbing Joke league was created the winning managers have been as follows 1992/93 - Scottish 1993/94 - Scottish 1994/95 - Scottish 1995/96 - Scottish 1996/97 - Scottish 1997/98 - French 1998/99 - Scottish 1999/00 - Scottish 2000/01 - Scottish 2001/02 - French 2002/03 - Scottish 2003/04 - French 2004/05 - Portuguese 2005/06 - Portuguese 2006/07 - Scottish 2007/08 - Scottish 2008/09 - Scottish 2009/10 - Italian 2010/11 - Scottish 2011/12 - Italian 2012/13 - Scottish 2013/14 - Chillean 2014/15 - Portuguese 2015/16 - Italian 2016/17 - Italian Quote
rocket_scientist Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 I reckon the first Spaniard will get added to that list this season. Amazing how often SAF won it. The other Scotsman, Dalglish at Blackburn was probably with Leicester and Ranieri the most unlikely winners. Quote
tom_widdows Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 Quick glance at the stats In my lifetime only 7 English top league titles have been won by English managers 19 have been won by Scottish Managers Quote
rocket_scientist Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 Quick glance at the stats In my lifetime only 7 English top league titles have been won by English managers 19 have been won by Scottish Managers 25 Scottish and 19 English in mine. More than half were SAF. There were 10 Engerlish in a row from the mid 70’s! Quote
rocket_scientist Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 The 1st, 2nd and 3rd non Scots or English was one Frenchman, Arsène. Quote
