Try the Burnley thread 👍

That’s the first game moved from 3pm.

Son and Park merely ‘ok’ 🤣 Plus Minamino and Hwang in the Prem off the top of my head.

Burnley down and Liverpool quadruple ended. Super Sunday.

England has moved on Jim. You have to open up to new people, new places and new ideas. It’s not the 1960’s any more. 😆

It would be so Leeds to balls this up.

Hello Burnley my old friends, We’ve come to talk with you again.

Yeah but he could make Burnley a category A++ home game, and also charge £15 for the compulsory coach to the away game.

So won’t be in place by the end of May, exactly as predicted.

“Think big” 👆

I seem to remember prices for Cardiff for the Arsenal FA Cup semi-final being around £50 and that was 15+ years ago

They’re actually cheaper than I expected tbh.

Are we not £429 cheapest price for new customers (as in the ones we need to attract to increase attendances)? Therefore above Watford and level with Luton

You’ve just done a full post on how slow and incoherent Venkys Rovers have been in their searches for previous managers. So based on your post, why would anyone believe this. Waggot is still going through CV’s. Suhail is onto his agent buddies to see who they recommend. Balaji is wondering why Maradona isn’t picking up his phone to talk about the job.

No. However we are not as important to the funding and dynamic of the English league system as Rangers are to Scotland. If Rangers ceased to exist, how long would it be before there was a serious challenger to Celtics dominance. If you think the interest, TV rights funding and sponsorship of Scottish football is low now, imagine it in that situation,

Duplicate post . And I can never delete the quote from my mobile.

Fair point, especially the 10 mile stat. My main point is that back in that era you had teams like Feyenoord, Belgrade, Panathanaikos and Saint Etienne in European Cup finals. The playing field was more level across Europe with less emphasis on money and power. Now it’s geared to allow the richer teams to progress, and have second chances by introducing league stages and dropping from one comp to another. The Europa League hasn’t left Spain or England for the last 10 years. I suspect Rangers would have been less likely to win this competition back in August than Celtic in to win the European Cup in 1967.

Note that's not even an "I wasn't aware of any interviews" which journalist normally do to cover their backs. That is a flat out "no".

I hope you are so right Chaddy because trying something different and bringing two well-respected people in could be the shake up that takes us on to sustaining a promotion challenge over the next few seasons. But call me scarred but I honestly don't believe we are going to go away from the usual incompetence. There has been no communication with Mowbray from the powers that be for months, so they knew this situation was coming all year. Yet part of me expects the players to be returning from their holidays at the end of June to start pre-season with nobody yet in place.

Yeah but their players, whilst being happy, generally just went off the pitch. It was the Huddersfield players sat on peoples shoulders singing that was OTT.

To win the Europa league now, when multiple, clubs from ‘elite’ leagues are involved and when champions league clubs drop in to that competition, would be a huge achievement for Rangers. It’s one thing doing it in the 60s, 70s and 80s, but in this day of crazy money available for players in the bigger leagues, it would be a superb achievement - certainly surpassing any previous European triumphs by Scottish clubs.

When Kane plays at right back I’ll agree.

Having said my above post, If @unleaded speaks, I listen 🙂

I remember when either Kidd or Souness left that Dick Advocat was once nailed on at one point. He had been interviewed. He was the unanimous choice of the board. He was spotted at Ewood. He was having breakfast at the Dunkenhalgh. He'd been looking at houses. "It's big Dick" became a common catchphrase on places like here and RoversMad. Nothing materialised. I also remember Graeme Souness when he was here going silly odds-on from nowhere for the Tottenham job. Rovers were playing that day and Radio Lancs interviewed him before the game and he basically laughed and said he'd heard nothing and had no interest in leaving Rovers at this point. He was so matter-of-fact about it, he would have looked a right idiot if he'd then left. He remained favourite for a few days (as liabilities would have been quite big on him compared to everyone else) and then as more rumours circled he just drifted out to bigger odds. Very similar to Farke here.
