That would be an ace appointment.

Yep, last sentence is from that word for word.

What are you actually expecting though? Recruitment processes for high-level roles always tend to be fairly private out of respect for the people involved and their current employers. There's absolutely no need for the fanbase to be privy to names on shortlist and the like. When you look at how people jumped on and obsessed over the throwaway comment about it being advantageous for the next manager to have exposure to the Scottish game as being an absolute dealbreaker and that he'd be doing a massive U-Turn if he brought in someone that didn't fit that profile, it's no wonder he's saying the bare minimum.

Not that experienced based on his Wikipedia page. 105 appearances over an 8 year period for Reading, then has barely kicked a ball for last 18 months after signing for Portsmouth with a couple of unsuccessful loans at Charlton and Bradford, with the latter sending him back early. Bradford fans do seem to be quite complimentary about him though.

Portsmouth had quite a chunky number rejected already, doubt he's in our price range now. Speaking of Portsmouth, they signed that left-sided defender Ibane Bowat that we were after about 18 months ago from Fulham. Has only played 7 times for them this season after missing a year out with injury. Could be an option if they're actively looking for additional defenders and fits the perma-crock criteria.

I read that as being no fee paid to Aberdeen, either as compensation for cutting loan early or difference between fee paid by Schalke and the £1.5m (if higher).

Interestingly (or most likely not), I had a look at the St Louis FC subreddit last week to see their fans reaction to signing Polvara and there were a few negative comments towards Lutz filling their team with players from European reserve teams and they were glad to finally be clearing them out and getting more Americans on board, noting that it was ironic that Lutz was now helping them fix the mess he created. Obviously, I could have been reading the output of the Yank equivalent of a Hat numpty mashing his keyboard but came to mind when I read that statement above.

Dennis Geiger apparently coming on loan from Hoffenheim. (Another) Holding midfielder, hasn’t played for them at all this season and was apparently bombed out of the squad after criticising the higher-ups: https://sports.yahoo.com/dennis-geiger-fumes-latest-hoffenheim-101300573.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAADrB1t0Slga1iKn76q85w0ku_hJgVAsYSR8JaB1q2WvsHJlau11CBsMSa7rJPITQpR4OqY86nFYVJZfr6_5YLLqsysOAS4d8mCXjxlQGbvAQRRphtv57QpjthSGpUHyNqm8cIopmYrnbrfkeQJrsiyke3JGliCp3QSvknOkKvdP

Connor Barron has seemingly refreshed this thread 45 times.

I assume Aouchiche will be on a fair whack as well.

Afeez Aremu, Nigerian defensive midfielder incoming from Kaiserslautern. Hasn't played much in last 2 years.

Even the NR-fucking-A are coming out saying it’s wrong to say the victim was at fault for legally having a holstered gun on his person. This clearly shows the victim’s gun was taken away from him before they unloaded their bullets on his restrained and prone body: https://www.reddit.com/r/law/s/Dw7ZxTa3cx You don’t need to curate your news sources to form an opinion, just use your eyes FFS. “The U.S. Constitution (particularly the 2nd, 4th, and 14th amendments) prohibit officers from shooting citizens merely for possessing a weapon that is not an “imminent threat”. This was reaffirmed in Graham v Connor, which says force must be reasonable. ”

Just on that link I posted earlier, it wasn’t an attempt to insinuate the Livvy player was pulling the race card or in any way purposely embellishing the truth, more out of concern that accusations were being made again with no substance allowing gossip and the court of public opinion to go into overdrive without any facts. In the previous incident it turned out the player everyone assumed was being accused was identified incorrectly: https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/360506719/new-zealand-footballer-matt-garbett-wrongly-identified-perpetrator-eredivisie-racism-row

Livvy striker has been involved in something before where an unnamed opposition player was accused of saying something that was not specified which was very rigorously denied: https://sports.yahoo.com/bokila-accuses-nac-player-racism-132800988.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAG4hXqqfFjsSuj4uaTin6bA8P85zGQ5XXTYt7fBe9eiXgUNjcT1MRCUnzHKvwegX6MBuuIwPMhc8MzYgQKtLF2R9_SyPOQAMm99f7LkQ0N_2WwXGqZVNl_w2SZs8sGfVJzTAdkiWK4pQxpaf2AoGL8yWIsgol8xrhQt-7bJ1ZTKB&guccounter=2 I would hope any accusation this time is against a specific player with actual quote of what was said (doesn’t need to be publicly disclosed).

It’s fucking disgusting. Guy was an ICU nurse who tried to help a woman that was pushed to the ground and in return got pepper sprayed, bundled to the ground and executed. Doesn’t matter what any of these fucking ghouls say, it’s on video. At this rate the World Cup is going to be the modern day equivalent of the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

Don’t think Atlanta had anything to do with Polvara, think he was recommended through Bobby Clark.

If I remember correctly the Livvy keeper is a bit punchy, doesn’t tend to hold shots on goal. Might be a good day to try some shots from distance.

To be fair to McGlynn I think he is being unfairly stereotyped based on his age (and probably appearance). As can be seen from his LinkedIn page, he's fluent in Cormackese which suggests he'd be handy firing out tactical analysis slide decks on a laptop: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mcglynn-3a53586b/?originalSubdomain=uk • Talent focused – Identify early, mentor, develop, perform and maximize value • Organised and structured with a results focused attitude

BBC Gossip Page today: "Hearts are hoping to beat Norwich City to the signature of 25-year-old striker Kasper Hogh, who scored a double in Bodo/Glimt's Champions League win over Manchester City. " BBC Sport webpage 2 days ago: "A fee of just over £6m is thought to be enough to acquire Hogh and BBC Norfolk understands , externalthe former Denmark Under-21 international wants to join the Championship club." Either Hearts are really going for it or BBC need to curate their gossip sources a wee bit better.

BBC saying that all candidates on the shortlist have been interviewed. Presumably we would need to ask permission from current employers before interviewing Robinson/McGlynn which usually gets out into the public domain one way or another.

Is Morrison fit? Noticed he hadn't made the matchday squad for their past 3 games, whereas Timothy Akindenali the raw 17 year old central defender they signed from us a year ago did make the bench for their FA Cup game against West Ham.

Won't be long before we're buying desalinated water from Nestle because all the natural water sources are being consumed by data centres to power the AI bot farms that are convincing your Granny that Al Qaeda is coming for her pension.

And that’s another pardoned drug dealer to add to the list.

4231 with Milanovic in the No.10 role?

The boats they are blowing up have a range of around 50 miles at full speed and are being blown up 1500 miles from the US coast line. THAT says a lot. If the genuine concern is drug cartels then why give a pardon to Juan Orlando Hernandez (no relation I’m sure) who was literally trafficking drugs (400 tonnes of cocaine) to the US?
