    Think we need to freshen up in January with quality if possible 

    Agreed.  I've gone from full of confidence in every game to having the fear we are going to drop points.  We arent going to win every game but we should be beating the likes of dundee united, motherwell and hearts. The draws are sorer for me as we were largely dominant in those games. As it is we have made it much tighter than it should be.  Early days of course but it still pisses me off we didnt win those games and we should really be 11 points clear.  The ripple effect on them could of been massive but as it is we have given them hope. 

    The big picture/winning the league this season has to be forefront of the boards mind considering the champions league money at stake so some outlay on first team quality could pay massive dividence. Unless we hit some good form very quickly (granted we are beginning to look better) it's looking like we need to spend or source real starting quality to feshen up the team and get us over the line.  Not sure the budget will allow it though 

    Return of the McKay?

    Not for me.  Found wanting more often than not and we can't afford another passenger in the team.  Had the odd good game but would default to type on a regular basis.  Obviously has some talent but not good enough for us and I found him to be an extremely frustrating player to watch.  It would be a backwards move for us imo.  I'll be hoping that Gerrard has some more pull to entice far greater players than McKay.

    It's crap when you are at one of these things and you get a right tasty soup and a tasty wee roll and you dunk the roll in and scran it rapid and your sat there looking around going I'd gee anything for another wee roll and all the old dudes are sat about with theirs no even touched and your thinking you don't know what your missing and how do I ask for their roll without looking like a begging wee mink

    :lol:

    Would Allan McGregor be an improvement on Wes Foderingham?

    If it's true Wes wants out then it's a no brainer.  He's a definite upgrade on wes and between the defence and wes we have leaked far too many goals this season.  I understand people's thoughts on him and I share them to an extent, but ultimately he is a good goalkeeper and I'd overlook the past it if it helps us reach our goals.  It was that long ago I can't fully remember his exact exodus, but if he improved the team, which I think he will, then we need to look at every viable option to mount a challenge next season.

    Wilder has been hloding that belt hostage, wilder biggest payday is 2.5 million, Hearn offered him 12.5

     

    after all wlder says its about legacy and not money.  Wilder ducking by the look of it, wilder cant offer AJ anything because AJ is the money man. the b side cant offer AJ a share of his own money. 12.5 million is more than fair.

    Fuck! This is just rumbling on and on and on.  I understand wilder is wanting to maximise his earnings from the fight but he will probably make more from the AJ fight alone than his last 10 (+?) fights. And they have spoke of putting in a rematch clause in the states, bringing even more $$$ to the plate for him.  Ffs what else can he want/expect more.  It clearly is all about the money and not legacy for wilder, which I completely get, of course it's about money.  Even his legacy as he puts it is a joke.  Apart from Ortiz (who's in his 50's, maybe even 60's :lol:) whos tank emptied or he would of likely won, wilder has fought a load of bums.

    I think the offer to him is fair.  AJ is undoubtedly the A side.  He is the one that generates this kind of money, not wilder by any means. At all. This isn't a charity.  Wilder can't expect to get 50/50 from what AJ has done in his career thus far to have the interest in him that he does and the money that follows that.

    I would like to see the fight.  I think AJ would win but that right hand of Wilders is certainly dynamite and a big risk for AJ so you just never know.  With all the delay tactics and word shite from the wilder camp though it's getting to the point now i'd love it if wilder was sanctioned to fight a mandatory and loses...thereby also losing the AJ fight.  I had hoped whyte would of got that shot who would certainly be a risky fight for wilder but obviously isn't to be.

    I'm sure AJ said last month he would just "freeze" wilder out if he wasn't reasonable which seems more likely than the fight happening at this stage unfortunately

    How did Dorrans play today? I've not seen any of the game at all so curious.

    He really needs to knuckle down and perform now. I know he's been injured and playing under guff managers but he needs to show his talents. I've got faith in him to come good because he's got proven ability - compared to the majority of the rest.

    Played very well I thought and was a stand out in the team.  Hopefully he can kick on and continue to put in performances like that and beyond

    Next manager : who is NOT a gamble?

    Walter / John Greig and I'd even ask Souness.

    No I do not want any of them as manager but can you think of a better interview panel?   Our board has proven to be a joke MW/PC and Murty were all royal clusterfucks.  So why not think outside the box and have an advisory panel select the next manager.  Do not leave it to clowns like Robertson 

     

    It wouldn't happen but imagine it was souness.  The fear would be strong with them; the panic that history could repeat twice.   Anyways in the real world I do agree that there needs to be some better way of identifying an appropriate manager or candidates, and some kind of panel to assist determining the best option would surely be no bad thing.  One things certain, Robertson is utterly clueless and should not be left alone to appoint who the next manager will be

    Trooooo.  I thought Herrara looked more physical and seemed to put himself about more, perhaps Pedro will shock us and go 4--4-2, a big guy and a poacher - did that not work well before  ??:whistle:

    I wish we would go 2 up top. We simply don't have the quality to play a 3 front line and it does my tits in persisting with it when it's clear as day that it doesn't work for us. No cohesion. Play far too far apart.  Morelos and Herrera could form a good partnership and it would be good to see wingers who can beat their man and whip in crosses with those two trying to get on the end of it. If dalcio and candeias aren't up to it (and the jury is very much out) we seriously need wide men that are more capable In the team asap.  Seeing a a front man on his own playing through the middle makes it so much easier for teams to defend with the lack of real quality.  Early days so just hoping it all comes together
