Clearly, the boy is down on his luck and needed the £100 he got bunged for that piece of shit article. I bet they did the rounds, He's probably been hounded out of the game after his comments about women in football. Link to comment

It took years off McInnes as well. He's in that early to try and figure out what he's doing wrong, as he's panicking about losing his job Link to comment

DC won’t be happy if and when Glass chucks the towel in, given his financial and emotional investment. But I’m sure they can come up with some contrived explanation or other; eg, kids health being affected, which is the explanation DC gave us in 2001 for his own hasty return to USA. Yeah, that's what I reckon will happen. Some BS story to keep everyone's egos happy Link to comment

He’s not said anything that the majority on here haven’t already said. The quicker this is all over the better, as he’s not got the capabilities to turn this around. His past record, and the fact we are getting worse, with no sign of improvement, shows that. Cormack’s defence is admirable, but rabble rousing on the radio & calling McIntyre a hun bastard (whilst good) isn’t going to change my opinion that we have a head coach who’s out of his depth & slowly drowning. Fully agree WW however the only bit I would change is slowly drowning, to well out his depth. Cormack tried a new management team without any experience, this will come back and bite him. I personally reckon SG will be sacked in time for the new manager to make changes to the bloated squad in January. It was an imaginative idea, however fuckin doomed without an experienced assistant to guide them. Link to comment

From reading glass' latest comments, it appears he intends to stay on, and Dave isn't for sacking him, clearly. we're stuck with him... Also, he looks bloody terrible - drawn in, tired, massive dark rings under his eyes. feeling the pressure. Maybe if we all get behind him and the team against the Hibs,he might feel and look a bit better? Link to comment

I saw it coming about 12 months before it did, as did quite a few others. It was also madness based on his record at Atlanta. All he’s doing is proving the majority right. Link to comment

Surely nobody takes him seriously I doubt very much if he's just pulled that little nugget out of thin air. So I believe it will be true that someone has told him it's the case. There would be 3 possible sources that spring to mind instantly. Given that Glass brought Brown with him very publicly, you would have discount that particular one. And Hayes just seems like far too nice a guy to get himself involved in it (and wasn't at Celtic all that long so doubtful he'd know Frankie Boy nearly as well as Brown would) So all roads then lead to Ferguson via his good old pater. He's rapidly become a toxic presence and best we get him sold in January but even then he'll certainly outlast Glass Link to comment

RED_JOHN Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I think Frank is trying to play mind games with the Dons by suggesting senior players don’t like the manager. Let’s be honest….how the hell would he know unless he was nicking one of their burds? We should get King Joey to state in the rags that it’s a disgrace that Celtic are not forking out for their child abuse claims and after the antics of Leigh Griffiths recently any player at that club should be deeply ashamed of themselves and their kids for playing for such a club.

He could easily have just shrugged his shoulders, did the bare minimum and carried on as he was. But he's, reportedly, been working longer hours and doing extra work, some of which isn't his job such as the recruitment stuff, to make things better. Commendably, even if he's still not been able to fix things, at least he's trying. If he's putting in a load of hours and it's still not working out, then the onus is on Cormack to find someone else, which is increasingly looking like what needs to happen. Same with any footballer at the club, if they put in 100% then I can't criticise them too much. If someone is absolutely shite, but putting in the effort then my grievances will always go towards the manager for picking someone who is not good enough. It's players that you know are better than they can be that coast games that piss me off. Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 RE Frank McAvennie - Would Ferguson be classified as a "senior" player? presumably he's talking about senior as in, first team rather than age i.e. Brown or McGinn or Hayes. Link to comment
