He talks rubbish but will galvanise the Dunfermline players for the rest of the season..Quote:

It's not a bad niche to have. Sam Allardyce made an absolute fortune bouncing around clubs in England doing exactly that.Quote:

Couldn't do it at Raith, but he inherited a team of Gary Locke's old pals from hearts who just seen their man get the sack after slumping into a relegation battle.
I am concerned he may have inherited a poisioned chalice here too though.
I thought that Yogi would have been a better shout to start with than Peter Grant. Might just be perception thing, but for me, Peter Grant has an air of Billy Davies about him. Insinuating that he is doing you a real favour by being your Manager.

He should go abroad and coach, all the best coaches have coached in several countries. Somewhere like Italy or Germany would be good for him, he’s a cracking young coach who was very harshly treated at Chelsea. He took over when they weren’t allowed to sign players and did really well, they had a dip in form and the new guy came in and won the champions league with his team. He can do much better than a yo-yo team like Norwich.Quote:

It really wasn't against the odds. They still had loads of great players. He done okay, about a par, then couldn't take them forward. Tuchel is a much better manager.Quote:

Don't really know what Chelsea have to do with it, they're not looking for a new manager. For the record I think Lampard will be a good manager, and I like managers that focus on youth rather than just buying success.
For lampard taking on a team destined for relegation Wouldn’t be a great move for him,Quote:

Depends how he gets on surely?Quote:

Tweeting what he did and getting folk talking about him like this was pretty disrespectful to his current employer IMO.Quote:

The Smith sacking was a weird one and I thought he had enough in the bank to give till after the January window, Obviously the Norwich board feels the he's good enough, got a hard job there though.
It looks Van Bronckhurst will be announced imminently at The Rangers. He has huge shoes to fill; Gerrard was hero worshipped. GVB will need to make a good start.
Here’s hoping he gets off to a disaster on Sunday if appointedQuote:

A new range of orange merchandise can be only days away. Just a tribute to Van Bronckhorst of course. Games at Ibrox already resemble a Dundee United match.
He supports both teams, apparently. Not sure thats possible really.Quote:

Interesting appointment though not convinced it's as big a coup as they are making out.
I reckon it is given his previous experiences in management after a fantastic career. Seems a nice guy too, sadly.Quote:

I think he spent over £30 million in his three years. Wasn't Ryan Kent about £7 million? GVB won't be given that kind of money.Quote:

Confirmed he’s only attending Sundays match not taking charge. First training session is on Tuesday / game on the Thursday in Europe.
That's going to be a long crawl back to Kelty over all that broken glass for KT, eh?
Winning the league with Feyenoord for the first time in almost 20 years with a couple of other trophies is a great achievement tbh.Quote:
