Anchorman

Why the disharmony? I'm not involved in any of the supporters organisations so I don't tend to follow the internal politics etc.

“I am proud to have played my part in helping the right people regain control of our fantastic club. It was a long struggle but words can never describe the joy and thrill of winning that critical EGM. That memory will remain with me forever. “There is still much to do but I am confident that the board will not fail our supporters, whose never-ending loyalty drives our club forward, and I thank each and every one of you for the tremendous backing we have received. I am looking forward to returning to my place beside you every week. “Finally, let me say it has been a privilege to serve this wonderful club and its supporters at boardroom level. It has been like living the dream and I am honoured to be able to say that I was deemed worthy to be a director of this Scottish institution and the greatest football club in the world.” Sad to see John go tbh.

Where is Joey Garner?

The guy is hardly through the doors and is being slaughtered from every angle. Compare it to Cathro, who is fairing far worse in his job, and who even has an ally in Sutton ffs (had to laugh at him of all people saying PC has verbal diarrhoea). I've never seen a manager be attacked so much so quickly. Its disgusting. I would like to see our fans who don't have confidence in him contain their criticism with some recognition of the fact that he's not just Pedro the manager - he's OUR Pedro. Don't give the vultures scraps to feed on. We don't have a club who will stand up for the fight and defend us. But we sure as hell have a manager who will fight any detractors until the bitter end. He has a track record of creating a siege mentality (he did it at Santos Laguna and they ended up winning the Mexican league which is not to be scoffed at). Maybe a siege mentality is what we need, because we are NEVER going to win any 'friends' - we are hated with a passion. He is going to try and bring players with a physical presence, as Portuguese managers like to do these days, which I'm all for. He will bring fighters that he can trust and I believe we will not see our side intimidated or pushed around again. He will tell our players its us against the world and he will believe it. He will instill the passion on and of the park. He may or may not get it right, but he deserves our support. If he is ready to defend all things Rangers does he not deserve our support? He sure as hell aint getting it from the club. Get intae them!!!

PC seems to be pouring a bit of scorn on the story by saying “Bruno Alves is a great player. I would like to sign him, Ronaldo and Messi.”

Anybody know what the latest is with Clint Hill?

He also aggravated it several times trying to 'fire fight' as the last man.

This has got car crash written all over it IMHO.

And some were used even closer to home! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/rangers/9543866/Ally-McCoist-baffled-by-SPL-decision-not-to-investigate-Celtics-EBT-payment-to-Juninho.html

Graham Roberts - 100%

Is Halliday injured or just right out the frame?

I also get the feeling that our regular playground bully, Mr Sutton, won't find Pedro to be one easily bullied. In fact he has been unusually quiet regarding Pedro - so far! (Unless I've missed anything)

Anyone know when the 'verdict' is likely to be delivered?

When his side were champions of Mexico no side in our little back water of a league could have coped with them!!

Can we put this shit to bed about 60 applicants??!! The bookies couldn't even come up with 20 without including the likes of Owen Coyle and Malky McKay. I will make it easy for you. Tell me 15 better candidates (which is half of the 30 you reckon you could produce).

I believe Mendes is his agent.

Unfortunately it would have to be an Irish Pub. If you feel like doing that then the best hope would be James Joyce bar, just down from Retiro Underground.

Great point. I think we actually thought way back around the time of the first hearing that it would vindicate us if we won. NOTHING will see us accepted or even liked in this country and we should wake up and smell the coffee on that one. I don't actually give a flying feck about this now!

Sutton to Darren Gough, regarding Durham - "You're his lapdog mate" ! Darren Gough to Sutton - "do you listen to the show?" Sutton - "no I never listen". Sutton ties himself in knots.

Actually think this will be such a carve up that Judge Lance Ito should preside.

He neither reeks of Deila or Le Guen, as they were both weak leaders who were openly disrespected by players within the dressing room. This guy is one very tough cookie (as confirmed by players who have played under him e.g. Weiss, Crosas). Nobody, including the press (and I include that arsehole Sutton) will mess with this guy lightly. A very big difference this time for me. I'm not saying he's the real deal, but I'm quite excited by the prospect that he might be. Any of the other 'usual' suspects getting the job would have left me feeling very dull and unexcited about the future. I give you Walter's glowing tribute to McInnes - "we wouldn't go far wrong in appointing him". FFS does that not sum up the enthusiasm that must come across from the old guard!! Eh Walter - it's various degrees of wrong that we want to escape from!!! We need something fresh and positive!

Sutton the bully meets his match. Skip to the last 5 mins if it all gets too much. Durham lands the TKO round about then - "Chris, stop listening to your followers on Twitter who only peddle hate" http://talksport.com/football/listen-adrian-durham-and-chris-sutton-clash-drivetime-scottish-football-debate-170309230877

I tend to agree. Isn't it Spurs who have driven the timing of this? He 'resigned' last summer didn't he but Spurs held him to his contract. I cant see this happening unless its Spurs who have decided the time is right to let him go i.e. they have a replacement.

anyone got a link to this news?

With all due respect Boabie, I think UEFA, FIFA, the world sports press, would get there before us if this was going to be an issue.
