Florentine_Pogen Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I would have thought there is no way that ‘journalist’ Smellyc*nt (copyright M. Mallarkey) would be allowed to have the scoop on this. Jabba would shoorely be giving ‘Wee Blondie’ Jacksh*n the nod / phone call on ‘the eckscloosif’........[emoji85] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True enough, but give it time. There's plenty of decent jobs here that he'd consider if and when harder times come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 Alex Neil is 5 games without a win, having suffered 3 successive defeats. He's incredibly overrated by some on here due to a good 6 months with Hamilton and a good 6 months with Norwich (Who were underperforming when he joined, with a budget that should have had them challenging for the title nevermind the play-offs).I highly doubt he'll be back in the EPL. That said - his stock is high enough for him to just laugh at Rangers. And before anyone states the obvious, yes, I know I said Hartley would be a better manager than him eventually.

Ludo*1 Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 Ludo still so bitter about Alex Neil and 2014 [emoji17] I'm just happy he had a complete meltdown and cost you guys the league in the season we won it. And you guys got a memorable play-off tie against Hibs. Win win for both of us due to his incompetence at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying Rangers fans won't accept draws away to provincial clubs. I'm guessing they would be quite happy with a point at Celtic Park... Questions whether or not Alan Pardew would take the job given the "circumstances" but seems absolutely certain Derek McInnes, who is in gainful employment and has already knocked back a similar shambles, would jump at it. The man is an absolute cretin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Fitlike Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 So how is the media puppet placemen's campaign to unsettle Aberdeen's manager going? Note the complete absence of any actual activity by the club itself. Or is that the company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the way I read it, but, hey ho, you're desperately trying to believe the hype, I guess not happy with Aberdeen doing well? (Or keen for DM to go, us to go for AA and you lot to get a decent replacement? ) Anyway, IMHO (and according to my contacts) there has been no contact from the depths of Govan which suggests either they don't want McInnes or they can't even afford to ask how much the compo would be.

Personally I don't give a fig if McInnes goes or not. And as for Archibald. I think his next move will be down south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betting competition Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 23 hours ago, JamesM82 said: I think the issue managers have with clubs having a DOF is whether they perceive it as a threat, i.e. do they think there's a chance that DOF could take their job? That isn't really the case with the guy at Rangers, who seems to be pretty low-profile and hasn't worked as a manager before. Derek McInnes has restructured the whole football department at Aberdeen and he won't have the same with Rangers so that is why I asked the question. Media have been terrible although must be running out of Rangers men to speak about our manager being the right choice - step forward the bbc today oh dear! I suppose with so many Rangers/Celtic fans in the media that other clubs are not going to get much of a voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milton75 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Yep. I could take charge tomorrow and we'd still pump Partick Thistle, so I'm unsure as to what the excitement is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preston also a few points off the play offs and had a tough run of fixtures.I don't know how valid it is but I'd heard the viewpoint that Neil is a great manager and gets a lot of what he has but his big problem at Norwich was recruitment. If that was the only big issue behind him, I think he can be a good manager long term.I'd say that what Rangers probably need right now is someone who can really build a squad to a high standard over a couple of seasons. McInnes to me seems their best shot at that sort of methodical club building exercise and is Rangers minded enough to alleviate pressure and get time.
