Albahighlander 0 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Before you all start wetting your pants, pause and reflect.Leave aside the issue of did he / didn't he surrounding him and PLG.Just stand back and ask yourself, is this team a team working to maximum effort, displaying a never say die attitude, helping each other out ?My contention is that a captain should be inspiring others to always give of their best. I do not question the personal commitment or effort or ability of the current captain, but no-one will convince med that he is inspiring everyone else to 'play for the jersey'.That being the case, I beliegve it is now time for a new leader on the park. A leader who is a giant of a man both physically and in attitude. We need a Butcher or a Gough. Thast should be our most important buy of the close season and it will allow the current captain to do what he does best - play.I seriously worry that we may not win anotyher trophy under the current captain and so we mustb look at someone who can change the attitudes of those around him.

Boab 73 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Can we have any suggestions ,if/when anybody agrees with Alba, for anybody else please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lad 0 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Thomson or weir should be given a shot as captain for the remaining games, give fergie a few games out, bring him back for the OF game.Thomson already displayed good captain skills in hibs, so we should use that, especially if we are gonna get scott brown.

The Lad 0 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Thomson doesnt get a game because we "cant" drop barry regardless of form, and hemdani is a reliable defender.Thomson in, replace fergie and give him captain, prove his 2mil price tag.

Albahighlander 0 Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 Can I emphasise that I see no-one in the current squad or on our current targets who I believe could fill this role.I am talking major signing needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to see what a Ferguson-Thomson partnership is like.If hemdani is leaving in the summer then yes, its advised... especially since we are 8points ahead of aberdeen, we should be able to relax a tad and try out some new tactics for the season ahead with the crop of players we have, including some youth boys.

Maybe, just maybe if the armband was taken away from Fergie, he might start to play with a bit more freedom (not having the weight of expectation that being a captain brings) and show us the quality of player that we all know he is.

Thomson wont be prepared to sit on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheQueensXI Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 its time for a new team you just have to look at the (lack of) quality we have in the squad overall. i dont see anyone at ibrox who would make a better captain than barry. and i dont see ws signing a player to be captain - and i dont think he should either. 7 managers have made him captain at both club and country level - i dont agree he is in the mould of the likes of gough, but he is a leader.
