Newcastle Lads To Play Every Game

[PRW. 5,631]

I think some people are totally misreading this situation.

McDowall isn't our manager, he's handed in his notice and looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights, he also never changed anything after Ally left.

We are getting these guys for free, I'd hazard a guess that Newcastle could loan them elsewhere and get some of the wages paid rather than here where they receive nothing towards the players. It would be an obvious clause that they play when fit, now take into account that Kenny doesn't know what he's doing and won't drop players, there's nothing wrong with him being told that they must play when fit.

"Oh but the board shouldn't be picking the team. we're Rangers!"

Yes, we're also miles behind Hearts and in danger of not getting promoted which would be disastrous for the club, once again - Kenny is not a manager and these players haven't been sent to sit in Nandos.

"Morale will be at an all time low!"

Like Nicky Clark, Calum Gallagher and the rest of the youths as they knew they had no chance of dislodging the Govan Chosen Few with Ally and Kenny here?

None of these cunts can moan about not being guaranteed a place anymore, they had infinite time in that first team while players like Telfer moved on and guys like Macleod were played out of position. No excuses, they had their chances.

Mike Ashley does not pick the team at Newcastle, never has as far as I know, there is absolutely nothing to suggest that this will be a permanent fixture at Ibrox.

It is clearly temporary as we don't have a manager, any new guy taking the reigns will rightfully expect to have full control, and will have.

So because McDowell isn't a manager the directors have to choose who plays? Aye because they're much better qualified to do that than our coach of around 7 years.

FFS directors picking who plays, utterly insane and a new low. Type of shite you hear happening at right dodgy clubs and think "Thank fuck that isny us" but its us now.

I cannot wait till these scummy fucks are out the door.

[PRW. 5,631]

They didn't make him take the job

He has a family to feed.

How can you expect him to just stop all income and continue his life? He isn't a super rich guy.

[cushynumber 25,178]

They're the ones who put him in a situation he did not want to be in.

he shouldn't have taken on the role in the first place - you cant promote someone that doesn't want to be promoted. As Kennys speech today said - he is simply saying OK to everything they put in front of him in order not to get fired.

According to McDowall...

[Jelavic191 4,399]

Kenny is Ally II and will not drop their favourites The board have brought in 5 loan players in positions where they play. Foster, Jig, Black, Smith and Miller.

I do feel uncomfortable with the Board having a say in the running of the team then leaving the manager to take all of the flack but these Newcastle boys would be rotting on the bench under Kenny and we'd continue to remain 16 points behind Hearts.

[PRW. 5,631]

According to McDowall...

Seek help.

[MayboleLoyal_atb 3,677]

Anyone know the odds on Sandy Easdale next manager?

[cushynumber 25,178]

just seen it on ssn, a full paragraph denying it m8.

aye just caught it there myself barely

[Smile 26,600]

Being utter pish at his job put him in this position.

You can see in to the future now?

Kenny has never had a lot of competition for places, so you have no idea if he would or wouldn't drop players to make way. It should be his choice anyway, he is far more qualified and in a far better position to make the call on whether they should or should not be in the team than any fuckin wank on that board.

[Frank Reynolds 3,359]

He has a family to feed.

How can you expect him to just stop all income and continue his life? He isn't a super rich guy.

He signed a contract to do a job, doesn't mean that when his boss leaves, he has to step up and take over, he just carries on with what he is contractually obliged to do, the board may not like it, but there's fuck all they can do about that.

If, on the off chance there is some sort of clause in his contract that he had to take over in the event of McCoist leaving (doubt it, but just covering bases), then he is contractually obliged to do the job, and should just get on with it.

And a family to feed?

I'm sure he does, but there are people on 1/10th of his wage who have families to feed, if McDowall is really worried about his income, he should be looking at savings, it's what the rest of us do.

Well, yes.

He's clearly incapable of managing the side, most on here know that but are up in arms when the decision is taken out of his hands.

It's temporary and nothing to worry about. We could pick a better team than McDowall so I don't see the difference with him being told to pick guys who are probably better than what we have.

[JograBear 1,072]

Its been denied by DL. I rather wait to find out the truth. I don't trust the money grabbing management team either.

[PRW. 5,631]

Being utter pish at his job put him in this position.

No it isn't.

If Kenny had won every league game 4-0 up till now, the board wouldn't make him play these players? My fuckin arse and yer more deluded than I thought if you believe that.

Plus his job isn't to be the manager, he is a coach and has been for the 7 odd years he has been at Rangers. It says so in his contract. He has been dumped as manager when he doesn't want to be, nor can afford to resign, because this board can't afford to employ a real manager.

[PRW. 5,631]

Has it?

This is me just catching up as I only caught a glimpse of this thread earlier today. You got a link or anything to what DL said mate?

[PRW. 5,631]

Incapable of managing the side as he is not a manager. But far, far more capable, considering his 2 decades of being a football coach and the rest a player, of managing the team than 2 cunts who ran a casino and buses fuck sake.

You surely can see that? Surely?

[PRW. 5,631]

If, on the off chance there is some sort of clause in his contract that he has to take over in the event of McCoist leaving (doubt it, but just covering bases), then he is contractually obliged to do the job, and should be a professional about it.

And a family to feed?

I'm sure he does, but there are people on 1/10th of his wage who have families to feed, if McDowall is really worried about his income, he should be looking at savings, it's what the rest of us do.

He is doing it.

No matter how well he does, the board were always going to do this.

If they thought he was that shite a manager they should be replacing him. Its fuck all to do with that. Its to do with getting some of Newcastles deadwood some game time and hopefully, for Ashley, increasing their value.

[ayrshire bear 10]

We used to rip the cunt out of teams like Hearts with Romanov, for example, who had a Chairman or Chief Exec picking the players. It's absolutely ridiculous.

I have absolutely no complaints or qualms about replacing players in the match day squad, it absolutely must be the case considering the way our team has performed over a long period of time. It needs freshened up.

However, there is a way to go about things and this is not it. This is a ridiculous situation. I absolutely can see why folk want these players starting ahead of the likes of Black, Hutton, Foster. However, this is not how I want to see Rangers run as a football club. These people are supposed to be taking care of the business side of things, the only reason we don't have a manager capable of taking care of the footballing side of things is because of THEIR own failure off the park. They should have no say in who is picked and who isn't.

I should also point out that 90% of the people on here, including myself, have yet to see any of these players play. To suggest that they should walk right into the squad is just as ridiculous as saying Ian Black and co should remain on the field for the rest of the season. These players might not be up to the required standard or have the mentality to play for this club either! They have to prove it. Just because the squad needs freshened up, by god it does, does not mean these players walk into the squad and stay in it.

Spot on, couldn't agree more

[Gaffbear 4,096]

Suits me as our first 11 are brutal

[Frank Reynolds 3,359]

So you agree that he wasn't put in a position he didn't want to be in?

[Smile 26,600]

No it isn't.

You are in cloud cuckoo land Kenny winning every game 4-0. dreamer no wonder you get manipulated so easily.

Newcastle United fan here in peace. I don’t want to get into a fat cockney bastard debate, here to discuss the five.

Gael Bigirimana – This lad looked like he was going to be special a couple of years ago. Bigi was something of an understudy to Tiote for a time. Bigi looked very comfortable on the ball, and played fairly regularly from the bench in his first season, in both the Premier League and Europa League. Look for his goal against Wigan on everyone’s favourite video website (not RedTube). Pardew then played him on the right wing against Benfica in a Europa League knock out game, Bigi had a mare, and was then never seen again. Last season and this he has been the invisible man. Weird how he looked so promising then was completely dumped into the reserves. There were rumours about an attitude problem, but I don’t know. Bigi could be a Sissoko in your league I reckon, he has genuine quality.

Haris Vuckic – When we signed him he was apparently a wonderkid who was wanted by Milan and others… Vuckic has a bit of swagger about him, and a hell of a left foot, he can hit the ball hard. Unfortunately the game just seems too fast for him. He has played on times, once standing in for Cabaye at Anfield, and has something of Van Persie about him, but he does not have a clear position in my mind. He played a supersub role for Rotherham last season as the gained promotion from League 1 but I just don’t think English football suits his game. He should go to Italy or somewhere where the game is slower. If you give him minutes he will score a few, but I am not sure if he will suit the rough and tumble.

Shane Ferguson – Another one where you ask what happened. Fergie played a few games, looked wiry, strong and with an excellent cross on him. Kept getting played left back – he is not a left back! He is a winger, that is all. Looked good it cameos the season we finished fifth, then didn’t push on when given more minutes in the Europa League, and was passed by Sammy Ameobi as young left sided player off the bench. Fergie then went to play for Lee Clark’s Birmingham (with Peter Lovenkrands – Lee Clark loves Newcastle) and seemingly struggled to get a game for a Championship side fighting relegation. On paper, the best of the five signings but you wonder what has been going on with this lad past two years.

Remi Streete – Never seen him play. Apparently physically impressive but seemingly always injured. He was recalled from Port Vale, where apparently he did ok, when we had a defensive crisis before Christmas. I would imagine that Streete will be released at the end of the season, so maybe you could get him on a free if he impresses.

Kevin Mbabu – Scouted by Graham Carr, our esteemed Chief Scout / Director of Football in all but name, Mbabu looks a touch undersized to be a centre back to me. Like Streete, never seen him play but he is meant to be highly rated.

In my opinion, Bigi, Vuckic and Fergie are your best three players.

[tannerall 25,935]

Play every game ? I'm sure that's what Ally told a few players when he signed them..........

[PRW. 5,631]

You are in cloud cuckoo land Kenny winning every game 4-0. dreamer no wonder you get manipulated so easily.

I said "if". However good sidestep.

Mate you need to let go your making up hypothetical nonsense about kmd winning games 4-0, the facts are their McCoist was a dud and kmd is just a clone who can't think for himself.

The job is to big for him and he should be relieved of his duties.
