It maybe so and feel free to start threads (which wouldn’t attract this level of comment for sure) but he’s certainly an enigma manager. Even today I’m not sure if he’s the best con man ever or a deep thinker let down by his players. apart from Hoddle there’s few saint managers who fit the cult leader mould so well. All he needs is a white suit and bare feet now.

It’s getting hard to avoid RM up here between front page papers and now a lot of live games on terrestrial tv so have developed a reluctant rangers follower hobby while waiting for something to happen in the championship. It’s heartbreaking to see a team doing russball pretty well in only its second week of being told. Sure Saturday was a hiccup where a more determined side outplayed him but tonight was pretty ok and two attacking wingers is a great watch. whatever anyone says about the bloke he can charm pundits (as he did with linekar)

If the papers up here are right then they’ll take more than a few. May end up with a liverpool or before that Arsenal relegation type exodus. Sports scene on the bbc is going to become a lot more familiar my rangers supporting postie now has a daily RM chat before he will hand over my Amazon stuff.

Maybe it should the nearest EPL team to your birthplace. That’s Chelsea for me but I’d rather get into ice hockey. What about the SPL?. There’s at least two teams worth following. If the bus to Glasgow (free travel up here) was under three hours I might think about giving it a go, but it isn’t ! Lots of saints came from the east end. Stu, VVD, Victor, FF etc..

Sad day. Hope he goes to Italy. Would hate to see him in a Fulham or a West Ham shirt.

You probably don’t need a release clause. Scottish players don’t lose their international selection rights by being in the championship. And RM played alongside him a while ago.

saw Mane at the emirates in his first saints sub appearance (work had Arsenal tickets and nobody else wanted them that evening).. gave him 9 in the player ratings and everyone else gave him a 0 so even Sadio Mane takes a while to become Sadio Mane in the eyes of our folks.

Summer 26. Celtic rumours but RM has ScotMafia powers. When not injured is spectacular.

Six years to become a basic solicitor after the law degree while you work on mundane tasks like property searches or probate inheritance allowances . Contrast that with the cut and thrust of the premiership touchline (and the salary). Is there a choice ? it’s stu’s choice and I’ll respect whatever he chooses. He’s clearly smarter than the average midfielder (apart from Socrates).

Keep Stu and make him do his coaching badges. He can 45/45 groundshare with Lallana then when RM gets poached they can fight to be the next manager. And on strikers.. are they still interested in Shankland ? He may get a run out at the euros at Che's expense so worth watching

Apologies is this was posted as it's a long thread. BBC Leeds have similar partisan coverage to our own Blackmore/Tessem channel. I think their control room techs were less law abiding and switched back on their feed at 5pm so it includes the last couple of minutes of play. This is what they made of losing. It's what we'd have done if we hadn't pulled it off. All the what-ifs and what-nexts you'd expect from a club staying down. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0hzb5gx

It's heading that way. All we need is Dykes up front now.
