It’s not all that long ago we were made up of mainly higher end EPL and top old firm players. I think the current squad is crap and has been for some time. Resembles an English championship side more than anything.

Strachan's current employment status speaks volumes, but he's a better manager than Eck and did achieve some decent results in his time. Strachan is a very limited manager but at least not completely useless.

Think the squad is horrific, along with the manager and those running the game. The worst part is there doesn't seem to be any sort of plan in place to rectify it. We've seen from the likes of Iceland and Belgium what a bit of creative thought can achieve. So it's going to take blind luck for things to improve. McLeish being appointed sums up where the Scottish game is just now. Everyone is by this stage completely aware of how crap he is and we all knew he would fail: https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/alex-mcleish-scotland-truly-dreadful/

Literally nobody wanted the job aside from McLeish.

He was close to being our manager not long ago, which shows how far we have come. And it’s not long ago I was also arguing with people on here who wanted him in charge...mental! 5 defeats in 7 for Scotland. That must make him our worst ever manager? Like Ally, the guy just isn’t a manager and should find something else.

Indeed, time will tell. Morelos will need an extremely solid, consistent season though before teams in the EPL will properly take notice. Towards the end of last season he went months without a goal, playing in a really poor league. He also has only 3 league goals so far this season. Overall, he has 29 in 62 games playing in Scotland. I think a decent EPL side would want a much higher ratio than that. We play in what I would describe as a 'derp' league. Big teams want to see players rattling a goal in pretty much every game because when they step up to a big league the ratio will be nowhere near that.

Naismith towards the end of his time with us was considerably superior to Morelos.

Ki went to Swansea and was a good player for them. No idea what fee he went for but surely it would be in the accounts.

If it’s any consolation, after taking Sunderland to successive relegations it might be a while before he’s heard from again.

I don’t really know who exactly club 1872 are and they have no relevance to me. I don’t think they communicate with the fans well at all.

Does anyone remember when Martin Bain was telling the media that Daniel Cousin had a £3 million minimum fee release clause? Hoping the days of whoring out all of our players for bugger all money are behind us.

Doesn't change how good a player he was and still is. 9 goals in 13 this season.

Steven Naismith.

Relax, I was three sheets to the wind. It's stupid that we're not allowed to sing it though. It's a great song.

If we were to look at the percentage of players we have made a profit on in the last 20 years I don't think it would make great reading.

How many times in Scottish football history have players gone for 8 figure sums? It's not long ago everyone was saying he's pish! He has a good few games and he's world beater, then some bad ones and gets widely condemned. I think we'd be doing well to get about £5m for him just now. Nobody is going to spend double that at this stage.

Newcastle completely played Man Utd off the park in the first half. They could easily have gone 3 or 4 up. Man Utd are fucked tbh.....really bad team, so much money spent too.

Loved hearing the Billy Boys getting belted out on Thursday. Don't give a fuck if that upsets anyone! We're the best support in the world. Nobody can hold a candle to us. We were in the 4th tier of Scottish football and getting the highest attendance in British football one weekend? Lmao.....we're something else.

For me the Vienna game was as good as it can ever really get. I wasn't there, but it blew me away just watching it on TV. Wish I was there. Just about brought me to tears!

His whole family sit in the main stand. There's a fair group of them! Bet they couldn't believe what the fuck they were seeing on Thursday. That atmosphere man, unreal.

The last time we had a striker that could properly get in the noses of decent defences, and score too, was Daniel Cousin by my watch. I remember him having a stormer of a game against the tims. Edit - In fact, I am speaking complete shite. The last would be Jelavic.

Better looking return. Not to be a negative nancy (although I fully admit I am), but he did have a really bad streak last season. We were completely pish though so I'll let him off. Tbh I love him too

What ????

Does this not reinforce my point? Lots of money is being spent in England, often to little reward. The kids have no interest in QPR (or had) because they’re crap. The big 2 in Spain spend large sums and it pays dividends. Lesser sides spend less and still outshine English teams in Europe.
