SIRB_72 4,002 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Whether McParland is staying or not the scouting/recruitment department is atrocious. McParland should have been the first brought in of many in that department. We look at Warburton's signings and would generally agree they have been poor. Part of this is the managers fault as he definetely has the final say, but the quality of player being brought to him by our head of recruitment hasn't been good enough. In an age were there is so much football a manager or head coach needs people giving him on information on players from all sorts of places and not just the UK. This is why we have ended up with the Brentford and Watford brigade. The fact we can't get players who haven't played on these isles is apalling in what is now a global game. I look at our budget compared to Hearts and look at some of the bargains they have got in the last 2 years. Surely with our bigger budget we could get better players from Europe or elsewhere!

Nae bother Declan only a cunt from West Lothian could come up with shite like that. We Rangers fans hate the SNP as you well know if you ever even attend Ibrox. Tell the cunts that's sit about you your views since you are so proud of them and see what your fellow fans think.

Prso's headband 35,583 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 One scout, who signed players almost exclusively from one agency. Best part of two years in the job and we still have one scout FMP is a wee fat crook cunt going by his past dealings. MW can smooth talk all he wants and use his experience in the city but the fans have caught on now and these two should be out on their arses.

Dodoo/Rossiter - looked 2 good young players at big clubs in England, on nominal training fees, they've still got the possibility to be good business if we can get them fit, both could be big parts of a new managers plans Garner - Paid well over the odds but in the right team he can score goals (shown it at Preston in a 4-4-2) but that is one I blame Warburton for, never fit into his formation so shouldn't have been signed Barton - Aye he came with baggage but the few years before he came to us he'd calmed right down and became a good player in the Championship (far better players than up here). Again it didn't work out and that falls on Warburton's man management. Hill - Turned out to be a good signing, without him this season we'd have played Kiernan/Senderos at the back for almost the entire season...we'd be in a far worse situation I think Kranjcar - Good player in his prime, was coming onto a game when he got injured, could've done a job for us up here in this league. Senderos - The last signing I blame Warburton for, was a panic buy, no real excuses for that. Aye it's a lot of if/buts and maybes and i'm starting to sound like Warburton but some of the signings looked to be good on paper, players the fans were happy with (Barton/Rossiter especially) so I have a degree of sympathy that some haven't worked out.

A backed the guy right up until that Hearts game but since then it's been a massive eye opener. Best in the business scout, who shops in MWs words "the most overinflated market in football". The more you think about it the more FMP is just another wheeler dealer scout who got lucky with players like Sterling. No wonder the cunt is running about in a Rolls Royce. Really unfortunate we've been caught up in this again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
