It is nowhere near akin to the Souness deal, gerrard being a celtic fan and a tim apart ?

Must be slow on the season ticket front.

Warnock signed a new 2 year contract at Cardiff at the end of February.

You must be confusing me with someone else.

No, Mark Allen said it, sorry you find his opiniom boring.

Maybe king is at Anfield tonight tying up a manager.

The manager decides who gets signed and who he wants, as said by no other than Mark Allen, can’t be any clearer.

We have cleared that one up, our DoF does not sign players the manager does.

Apparently the Parks are on friendly terms with Roberto Martinez present Belgium manager.

There is no difficulty, Mark Allen has made it quite clear he does not sign players.

I posted above his remit as described by himself, it does not include signing players.

I was referring to Scot Arfield

I am pretty happy with my understanding of it, seems Marl Allen agrees. So, with that in mind, in what direction does Allen feel Rangers do indeed need to go? "My first and foremost thing was to look at it and say we need to put a scouting fraternity in place, that was my first priority, which we've done,” he said. “We identified key people to come in and start that process and that needs to be ongoing. You are scouting players all the time, for now, for next season and maybe for one or two seasons ahead, up and coming youngsters etc. That's the function of the scouting department. "I oversee that, but I don't run it on a daily basis, that's [chief scout] Andy Scoulding. The next element is liaising with the first-team manager. I have made that position abundantly clear, the decision on players is the manager's. It always will be. Who plays and what system you play, what style, what tactics, what players you sign are all the manager's decision.

So who will be signing him.

Which part, where they are advisors to the manager or the manager is the DoFs tea boy.

We are being told DoFs recruit, a fancy word for sign, when there is no manager in place. Once again what if incoming managers do not like the players recruited/signed by any DoF, when there was no manager in place. I do not believe for one moment DoFs sign anyone, advise on logistics yes, sign no.

And if an incoming manager doesn't think those signed by these DoFs are what he is looking for, lump it or like it ?

So why is this pre-contract being spoken of, which manager has sanctioned it, Murty ?

He recommends to the manager, can just see ManU or Man C DoFs telling Jose and Pepe who they are signing

Why would anyone be signed by anyone DoF or other, we don't know who our next manager is won't they want their own signings, unless it will still be Murty. Or does the DoF now do the signing and we will have a coach not a manager.

Potter is I believe 14th in a league of 16 at this time, simply not of the required calibre for us, I can just imagine all the magic hat jokes too.

The longer the silence continues the less surprised I will be to see us enter the new season status quo.

I don't even agree Morelos is a centre forward, otherwise he would play in that position.

I cannot for the life of me see any justice in the Morelos hype, Rangers have had many younger than Morelos teenage goalscorers who just scored, it was their job. By 21 big Derek, Jim Forrest and big Dandy were scoring for fun, an ability Morelos lacks imho.
