That's it exactly mate, maybe there's a reason most of Warburtons signings were playing in the lower leagues of england....they couldn't handle the pressure of a big club coz their form now is stinking.

Tbh I think a lot of our problems this season have been down to us underestimating this league. A couple of decent results in cup games last season has had Warburton thinking the league would be a walk in the park and now that reality has set in its beginning to look like the wheels are coming off.

Probably, I think he focused too much on signing midfielders and not enough on getting 2 decent cbs and a top striker. We signed 5 central midfielders in the summer when the middle of the park wasn't our main worries last season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably our strongest area on the pitch last season and he's flooded it with new players. We brought in too many players who are either not an improvement on what he already had or weren't really needed in that position. 2 good defenders, a good striker and a defensive midfielder were all we needed IMO. Obviously when we released players at the end of last season we would have had to add a GK to that list as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lee Wallace's form is down to Barton telling him to up his game, then he shouldn't be captain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering he had got windass and crooks early he didn't need to keep looking in midfield but I think too many options became available for that area he couldn't resist and lost all focus to what the main areas of concern were.

Rossiter was a no brainer but Barton was a big mistake and I wonder if he had an influence on the signings of kranjcar and hill after playing with them at qpr, I may be ridiculous for even mentioning that but they were strange signings.

At the time I thought signing Barton was a no brainer. I was delighted when we signed him. Hill, I felt would have been a positive influence on the defence with the experience he brings. That hasn't really worked out so far. Kranjcar was the biggest doubt for me. He was brought in from a retirement league and it's shown so far.

We should have signed the majority of our Spl squad early and gave them a Championship season of getting to know each other while winning the league, we are now paying for the management and the board's lack of forward planning.

The flaw IN your plan all be IT a good one was getting any player worth his salt to play IN the championship, yes we could have tempted with big bucks but then fans would moan like they did when Ally was boss of over paying to get out the league.

Apparently Celtic are ready to offer Barton a place in their team should he be released from Rangers. I would have thought from his tweets and windups of Brenda that it would be a no go, but I guess stranger things have happened. It's outrageous but I can see that it would appeal to Joey, the publicity alone for his book would make it worth it.

big blue Fin 3,724 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 If that happens I'll be laughing my fucking head off. Brendan Rodgers for all the jokes we make about him knows what kind of arsehole Barton is. Does anyone truly believe that he would snap up a rejected loose cannon?
