I think it was the Record who, before Alessio's announcement was made official, had written about him and got the opinion of Massimo Donati - a man with no link to wither the candidate or the club in question - to give his tuppence worth. I can just imagine them thinking who is Italian and has played for the club before, coming up with Manuel Pascali and then immediately binning that idea because he had no connection to the OF. In any case I'm just glad that our board managed to keep the media (and everyone else) guessing. Made the papers look like mugs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of reminds me of the time they got Sebastian Rozenthal to talk about the death of General Pinochet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48674593 Why the need to mention he's a former "Rangers" striker? Scotland, yes, because it acknowledges he was an international. But why pick out a former club in the headline as well? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was his most high profile and most successful period in his career both personally and in terms of trophies. It's pretty relevant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland, yes, because it acknowledges he was an international. But why pick out a former club in the headline as well?It literally mentions the two clubs in Scotland that he ever played for. If it hadn't mentioned Killie then fair enough, but it does, front and centre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few times I've seen them refer to ex Rangers striker whilst he was at Killie but I don't see too much wrong with that article. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 This is one of my major pet hates but have to agree with the others that it's appropriate this time. It's not the use of the ex-Ranger/ex-Celt that's the problem, it's the misuse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 The BBC have accidentally deleted the Scottish football page: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/scottish No doubt it'll be fixed soon, but sums the BBC up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth mentioning that Massimo Donati was appointed as a coach at Kilmarnock just days after the manager was appointed... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even by Bonner's desperately low standards, that's ludicrous. He truly is a man who's never had a thought in his life. That he keeps getting asked for his opinion, is even more laughable than said opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
