falkirkNS 6,298 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Met Jimmy Nicholl at Queen st station last night, spent around 20 minutes chatting away, down to earth gentleman, bouncing about on public transport says that about him himself, was a frustrated figure and understood the concerns, still sussing the group of players out, gathered he thinks a good number of the group probably are'nt of "Rangers" standard that we have had in the past. Working on bosmans at the minute for the summer. Think only so much input he can have as assistant.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
piperpete 3,186 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Can’t believe he never told you who the players were, it’s not as if you would have told anyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer93 15,057 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Sounds very much like murty will be in charge fir next season if they are identifying targets for next season or it could be MA doing this on his own for the new manger to work with which could be a recipe to disaster AGAIN!!!

K.A.I 36,183 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I’m not saying there’s not some good Bosman’s (Ian Ferguson listed some above) but it’s worrying that we need top talent and some aren’t Rangers class by Nicholl’s own rightful admission then mentions Bosmans in the next sentence which strikes me as same mistakes about to be made again all over Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerall 25,935 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Think you misheard. He probably said "working on a Boss man for next season" not Bosmans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree.There will be players capable of taking us forward out there happily running down their contracts knowing any transfer fee that would have been paid can be used to increase their salary directly.Its having the people in place to identify and sign them.Hopefully MA is the man to do this.

Jury's still out tbh. I'd say our recruitment has been very good this window, but in all honesty it's not as if we've even came close to 'unearthing' anyone. Murphy, Cummings and Martin's availability would have reached us through agents alone regardless of who our manager or head of recruitment was, and Docherty caught the eye in the same league we play in. And Goss and Declan John ain't no diamonds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.A.I 36,183 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Murphy, Cummings and Martin didn’t need scouted. John is rank rotten. Goss looks like a decent footballer but missing something but all in all I’ve been pleasantly surprised with him and the contribution he’s made. Its too early to make comments about Allen being some sort of master scout or gem uncoverer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
