Was it not rumoured that, that was part of the agreement to get him to sign pro-terms? Did he sign those before or after Jimmy left?

EGGZACTLY!

In typing this I'm sure I've typed it before on this forum. As the wife says "He just look so... ENGLISH! That's why I hate him"

Sing songs glorifying the killing of ethnically the same people because they worship some character from a fairy stories mum. YES Make some abusive comments about someone based on the colour of their skin. DEFINITELY NOT.

McGhee's favourites

Rangers really aren't helping me stay on the dry . Now where did I put that Champagne!

Is that a sports bra Novo the Homo is wearing??

1-3, good job it isn't the Black Sea League the dirty minks are trying to join

Huns having the urine extracted

Has Duns got the highest number of authors per head of population in the UK?

Seem to remember him playing for milwall against Chelt a good few seasons ago and not looking great. But the last ex OF full back we signed from a mediocre L1 side(by way of Wolves) turned out reasonable. So worth a crack till Xmas surely.

Is that Roberto?

Worst pretend drunk, ever.

In fact reading it again, I think it would seem to hint (quite blatantly) that it might not be the players fans are expecting ie. those mentioned at the top??

Yeah, that's probably what was in my head when I started typing.

Is there any quote that links the players mentioned, to the quotes attributed to McGhee. Would it not be more likely that the likes of Kerr, Miller, Langfield etc will be offered around in the hope of raising a fee for them before their contracts run out? Freeing up a larger percentage of wages to be offered for pre-contracts or extra to be added to next years budget. After all "this is a transitional season and McGhee will do whatever is necessary to improve the fortunes of the club".

I can't believe Mark McGhee is not giving youth a chance! (Just for minijc ) Is this the guy that only came back in the summer after being home sick? or Is it the guy who was, supposedly, fucking gash in the pre-season friendlies?

Anybody else watch the thing on BBC2 on Seve (the real one) with Peter Alliss. The best bit was about the Green jackets.

I got invited to one of these in Gloucester last year, place used to be a bowling alley. Can see why it is successful you could barely move between the tables and, kowalski, they seemed to do more chips than anything else. Not sure if you could call them good though! Not somewhere I'd choose to go and I don't think I could be described as fussy.

Especially when you've got dickheads like Gartside repeating the OF's desperate plea's, from an EPL perspective.

I wouldn't think we were the only club he ASKED to train with. Unless he saw our defensive problems as an opportunity to get playing again, at least till Christmas, and reckoned asking to train with us was a way in??

If true I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that his agent contacted all SPL clubs to see if any of them were interested in him, and we were (at least for a look see). Either that or he really likes the beach (in October (in Aberdeen)). I can't see any other links.

@ manc_don. I was inferring the OF give up some of their ill-gotten gains, in order for the league to become more competitive, and speculating that a more competitive league would increase revenue streams thus enabling the OF to recoup some of their earlier losses. BUT the thing holding that back is the OF themselves and their seemingly ruthless business model. Summed up in your final point.

I have in my head that gates used to be shared in the Premier Division? Is this still the case in the SPL? If not would going back to that (if it ever happened) not make up for the loss in revenue for the other teams? OK the OF would never vote for it, but would they need to for the rest to gain a majority? By that I mean; would Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs etc expect to loose too much to vote for it? Alternatively, would an equal split of TV money make up for the difference? I know both ideas will mean the OF giving up some of their unfairly large cut of the limited pot of SPL money, but this ruthless capitalist model that seems to be followed by both halves of the OF is what is killing Scottish football. That is why the TV revenue is low, sponsorship is low, competition is low (the OF's favopurite stick). For an outsider there are only two teams worth showing, for a yougster growing up there are only two teams worth supporting. You only have to look (where the better Scottish players look) to see what having a competitive league can do for TV and other revenue streams. * edit. I see most of my questions and points have been covered, should look at the posts that have been typed since I started my reply, sorry.

Probably for the best though as presumably with a few dissenting voices, unwilling to listen, it could have been a complete waste of time for everyone concerned. Maybe even just a few more faces and the speakers may have clammed up and become defensive. Agreed though it did sound positive, having had a quick scan of be ABMad thread.
