OK, I will try one more time. It's nothing personal against Scotland, the Scottish league, Mrs Doubtfire, haggis or battered Mars bars. I just don't think Fulham , or any Premier league team, will be in for McGeoch. I hope we sign him. 

You reckon he could go straight to the premiership obviously? 

 

Arghhh ..... You forgot the cheesy chips!

Sorry!

Cant knock Scottish footballers ... We had King Kenny and Hendry ... Yeaah ... And Err Ferguson an Souness ... Hmm

What odds are about at the moment, i wanna put a bet on that we get into the play off's

Any I know said he was good for them. Have you heard different from their fans? 

Only from my relatives, and there friends which are Villa fans. Seemed to be the general consensus when i was down there a few weeks back

John Terry released at Aston Villa, not one for me trusting TM's not interested

Most of our fans are not fickle, certainly no more so than any other set of fans. Given what we have been through these last few years I'd say that the fans' loyalty has been awesome.

True! the point i was trying to get over though is "will" the loyalty still be "awesome" if it goes tits up for TM next season ... I doubt it will

I trust Mowbray to behave in an ethical and honest fashion. I think he's proven that in the time he's been at the club. Having said that he's just like the rest of us, he's not infallible. He'll make mistakes, every manager makes mistakes. I reserve the right to criticise Mowbray when he does.

My point exactly!

Venky’s have always made money available. Look at when Bowyer he was in charge- he was still given some money to spend after all that money Kean had blown. Lambert- loads of loans and the odd signing. Even last season, Mowbray got money to spend. 

Talk about sales all you want, but in the grand scheme of things Venky’s have put money into the club. 

Cant take that away from em!

Question now is, is have they learned there lesson? I think they have and it's cost em a few bob in doing so.

On the TM front i've read on many occasions about ... In Tm we trust and we have faith in him etc etc. Knowing how fickle most of the fans are it makes me think how "Short a time" before they turn on him if it starts going wrong?

I hope for ours and everybody else it does'nt

Chaddy are you taking Mercer up on the £100? we're all waiting. at least it would give LET something to write about

We need to be bolstering the squad with permanent signings to begin with whilst retaining all those we want to keep. So get rid of Feeney, Ward, Gladwin, possibly Whittingham make a decision on Evans and Conway, sign 4 or 5 Championship standard players to replace them, new contracts for Dack and Graham along with others if needed, bid for Armstrong, then sign a couple of quality loans later on if needed.

If you have ambitions as a club you don't sell your best players to rivals. So if someone wants Dack it should be the Premier League or nothing. I'm tired of sob stories about FFP and parachute money. If we're serious about moving forward we fight and we keep who we want to keep unless the player has a step up to a higher division.

Shrewsbury being a typical example, limited funds and punching above their weight. We all thought they'd fall away but they never did. You dont necessarily need a big budget or big names, just guys with skill and hunger

Ya, he really had a lot of adapting to do. Coming from the tropical climates of Glasgow to a couple of hundred miles down the road. Maybe more efforts should have been made with language classes and cultural training 

Think he could'nt be arsed or just home sick?

Either way, he never really showed us his best whether that boils down to regretting signing or not I dunno. Just a %anker to me for admitting it

I'd seen him play before he came to Rovers and I thought he had it all.  I thought Souness had bought a replica of himself. What went wrong I don't know but the guy could play no mistake. I'd seen him run international games for Rangers and Scotland. Obviously he never really settled and just as he was showing some form he got a really bad injury.

Ferguson openly admitted he felt he'd made a mistake in signing for Rovers, he could'nt settle and wanted to go back home more or less straight away

I'd like to see Chapman in, ok, so he has hamstring problems, but dont ya think he came back to soon?

He gets on with the lads, fitting in well in the dressing room and he has skill not to mention the lads quick
