God help them, they are pretending to believe we're running scared of this appointment. :brickwall: :lol:

The £120m from Singapore is a fantasy. Why would anyone "invest" four times the value of a business? Their maxed-out turnover is £30m pa. As I've previously pointed out, it's not even money laundering because no money comes out the far end. My reading of it is that King is petrified that he'll have to buy at least £4m worth of shares and be left with a club that's worthless. This is a desperate last punt at persuading no one to sell up if and when he is forced to make the ToP's offer. The collapse in STs after the last two humiliations has them looking into the abyss. He's gone all in with seven and three unsuited. We're almost at the end game. :thumbsup:

Anyone else worried Gerrard may actually be a success? :lol:
If he gets money he might be able to make them a better second.

Apart from that, no.

FWIW, I believe that Gerrard's biggest downfall will be his ego.

Brendan has an ego which is fuelled by the fact that he a brilliant man-manager as well as a total belief in himself, what he does and how he goes about his life. Also, when needed he has incredulous humility.

Gerrard has been fawned over by a sycophantic press and fellow co-commentators south of the border. He has been above reproach - in Scotland that fawning will go into hyper-drive and, at the start, he will thrive on it.

IT WON'T LAST.

He will be a crap manager due to his ego, everyone else will be blamed when it goes tits up.

Honestly, I didn't realise how much I disliked him until recent events.

War-chest? Bolloxs. Total bolloxs!

Did we "require a police presence" when Brendan was unveiled? WTF are they expecting to happen?

Or is this just another of Jabba's "look how big we are" wheezes?
It's in case the DJ doesn't play Phil Collins.

Is the delay for the press conference so they can teach Gessard the right door to go through so there isn't another magic hat incident?

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
There was some terrible lies about Mrs Gerrard and a former Celtic player.
There are also some terrible truths.

Depends on your expectations.

Will he win the league? No.

Will he spend money Sevco don't have? Yes.

Will he increase the commercial value of Scottish football by making the first game against them at Celtic Park next season a media circus? Yes.

Will he stop the 10? :loel:

They have just appointed the Liverpool u-18s coach as their manager. The rest is just noise.

Put it this way would we be happy if we had heard Stevie G was going to replace Brendan? I certainly wouldnt be.

I'm very happy that Gerrard is signing for them, for some reason they have this idea that because he was a good player he's gonna be a great manager, and work miracles on the tiny budget they've got. Its guaranteed to go tits up, and in a really big way this time.

Every time they get another manager in, they build up that wee bit of hope, which is knocked out of them with a few months, its like Death By A Thousand Cuts! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Can’t help but wonder what the wonderous details of this deal are that caused Paul Murray and Barry Scott to clear their desks at the start of the week with such haste.
