That last point…

“Win the league, Stevie.”

“Yeah.”

“Get us into UCL group stage.”

“‘course.”

“And here’s your net transfer budget of £50m.”

“Right. Who do we sign first?”

“Err. You need to sell first. See those lads we signed last summer, sell them for £50m then we’ll see what we can do.”

To meet expectations, he’d need 1st-team ready players - not developing talent. Their board will be trying to copy our success in player trading but that’s a long game.

Any manager taking that job has a near impossible task without megabucks.

Tough to accept for any support but it takes time.

And his own coaching team, of course. It soon adds up.

Expectations would’ve been that he would be coming back to win the league and secure UCL group stage qualification. How much do you think he asked for as they need a full squad rebuild? £40-50m?

So, he’s dropped out of the running? Wonder if he asked for too big a transfer budget? 🤔

Let’s not forget the spending spree building up to and through Gerard’s tenure turned them into a financial basket case. If it wasn’t for the 49rs, they may have gone the same way as the original outfit.

Much better from Scotland. Who’d have thought subbing Gannon Doak for Ralston would change the game! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😜

Think the commentator’s just summed up this @ScotlandNT performance perfectly - “timidity”.

Makes watching @Celtic exciting.

Parties of the right have always attempted to limit access to higher education. It’s about protecting the privilege of the elite and suppressing critical thinking. It’s far more difficult to fool a well-read, educated electorate.

Their impatience and feeling of entitlement means they are putting the cart before the horse. They need to sort out their infrastructure, build a team and then start developing talent. It takes time.

Desperate to mimic our success in developing and selling talent. The issue they have is the rest of their squad is crap. You can develop talent as long as you have an established backbone in place. They do not.

Still, that means more than 1 in 4 people didn’t bother to vote.

Considering the impact Brexit was always going to have on the country, that’s appalling.

The responsibility of voters in a democracy is far greater than candidates, parties or parliaments.

Gerrard would demand a whacking great transfer budget. I don’t think they can afford him.

That said, Martin needing a police escort and back door exit will have given their board the fear. Supporters will be after them if they don’t get their slippy man!

Tbh, I think she was just unimpressed by the lack of power slide on the bend.
