tore andre flo pretty much put the stupid spending on players in Scotland to a halt overnight.

as it stands he's still the most expensive and it can't be far shy of 8 or so years ago that we bought him.

he was mince back then, i can only imagine what he's like now.


we can't afford to lose barry ferguson. a mate text me saying it's a bad day when 1 rangers player can oust a manager but the thing is that ferguson was out there busting his balls for the jersey every week because he is a bluenose through and through whilst le guen would have good on form players on the bench because he'd bought in all these idiots but he had to give them a run because of the money he'd spent on them.

in the end ferguson called him up on it, le guen said he was undermining his position and the dressing room rallied round barry.

i think le guen was kind of arrogant or pompous with regards to the scottish league and the dynamic of scottish clubs. he's certainly come across that was in press conferences and interviews.

walter smith is odds on favourite for the job but i can't see him leaving scotland to come back to ibrox just now when he's doing so well in the 2008 qualifiers which is a real shame. i'd like to see how durrant does and maybe have him hold the reigns until walter does or can come back because another mate and i were talking about old firm managers of the past 10 years and the only 1 foreign manager who's had any real success was wim jansen and that was only for one season because alot of managers outside the UK (even outside scotland and ireland) really don't grasp how huge and important the game is up here.
