Souness may have bought MGP but he didn't know how to use him... Sparky has really brought the best out of him & THAT is the sign of a good manager
That's the biggest load of crap I've read on this board. Souness gave him a shot, it didn't work out at the time. Who's to say things wouldn't have ended up working out the same?
American you may have mistaken my remarks as another pop at Souness. That was not my intentions. Comments made moments after the euphoria of pedersen's winning goal against the dingles. I did not mean to insinuate that all Souey buys were crap because plainly that was not true although remember Grabbi I will never forgive him for that). In fact I firmly believe that behind king kenny he was our next best manager. When he was appointed it was just what we needed he cleared the deadwood and made us a much stronger club ending with promotion in first full season and worthy cup. For that we are grateful and cannot really knock the guy he did is job what he was tasked to do get us to the prem.
I understand trooper comments re: hughes because by all accounts the backroom staff have worked hard in getting him settled in the area and getting him toughened the lad up for the rigours of the premeirship. They obviously believed the lad had ability. If memory serves me correctly pedersen only played the man u game for rovers under the souness and that was 24hrs after arriving in the country.
Without Pedersens goals since xmas we would be in the mire he is becoming the Jon Stead of last season lets hope he doesn't follow the same path !!!
