P45 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Perhaps, but as things stand they could line-up... Alexander Broadfoot Goian Bocanegra Wallace Black McCulloch Shiels Sandaza Kyle Little ... which, surely, should be enough to skoosh SFL3 + SFL2 without additional reinforcement. Not to mention what it must be costing... that's 9 full internationals + Black + Sandaza? And Cribari too? They should win every game comfortably although players like Goian who thought they were in for an easy ride don't actually look like they have the balls for a fight. IMO McCoist has signed the wrong players again. You could potentially be talking upwards of about £100,000 a week in wages for those players. Gretna and Livvy did it will a small percentage of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Sal + top class players is a bit of an oixymoron isn't it - did you mean "more" players on silly wages?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strichener Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Goian and Boca are gone soon surely which leaves a big hole at the back. After watching Sevco on Tues, I have to admit that their big McCulloch as a 14k a week hvn will dominate wee teams from the 2nd or 3rd There is already a big hole at the back and thats with Goian and Boca. As for McCulloch, he was absolute pish today and was his usual "Elbows & Mouth" McCulloch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinheed Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 If their top class players weren't up for that today in the sunshine and with the sky cameras there, think they'll fancy montrose away in winter in the wind and pishin rain? not that i mean to offend montrose . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Should've gone to Duff & Phelps. Begbies Traynor were appointed as liquidators on Thursday at the request of the directors. Four employees were made redundant immediately and the liquidators said there was no real hope of retaining the other jobs. The remaining staff will stay on to help clear stock over the coming weeks. The company will continue to trade for a period of time in order to realise the value of stock but is likely to be closed within a matter of weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Just back from a lovely day out in St Andrews, including nipping over to Dundee to watch St Mirren go top of the SPL. Hope you had your Irn Bru patches on, ya' useless Sevco Division 3 shite. Time for a beer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kong Bundy Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 From 2:22ish, watch his face! Absolutely priceless. Did McCoist say Balavage (Bavidge)? Didn't he play in goal for St Johnstone 30 years ago? Doing well if he's still playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeeHectorPar Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Far Sal would do well to look at the history books and see the cases of teams which were put together with the intention of steamrollering all in their path and yet still failed. Top on my memory list is Marseille in 1979-80 when their first team included 10 internationals. They were amongst the favourites to win the league. However, the team didn't gel and Marseille were relegated to D2. To make matters worse the final game was against Brest who had won only 3 of their 37 games and had 13 points (2 pts for a win). Admittedly both teams were by now relegated but Brest hammered Marseille 7-2 to make the shame complete.Marseille had the common sense to get rid of all the big names and base their new team round the players from their youth academy. In time this led to the successful team which was bought by Tapie and the European Cup victory. This was a once-in-a-lifetime chance for Rangers to develop a new young team, perhaps over a number of years while building up the infamous warchest. They would then have been the target for a massive takeover. However their typical short-sighted, get-rich-quick mentality has doomed that to failure. If ever Rangers needed a manager with the know-how to bring on youngsters now is the time but they have stuck with "a Rangers man" who is out of his depth. The only way they will come back, should they even survive the monetary problems of the next few months, will be to learn a bit of patience and appoint a manager, even on silly wages which are currently going to unenthusiastic over-paid players, who knows how to develop young players. Buying success is no longer an option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying success is no longer an option. Totally agree with this. Mcoist is a total fool he is just making the same mistakes that rangers have alway made. They would have been better looking through the leagues 1-3 and buying players that know how to compete there and added them to their youth players. The boy mcallister for peterhead is the perfect example, a cracking player who will scores goals in league 1-3 for fun. Instead sally goes and gets kyle and sandaza on stupid wages only because the sevco fans have heard of them. Kyle will be lucky if he plays twelve games due to his injury problems and sandaza whilst a good player will probably not fancy the games away from ibrox. Then in his post match interview sally talks about getting more players so expect more spl journeymen who will take the places of the youngsters in the team. Total joke 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
