If the money was available, would it be straightforward to buy out the council or would they not want to lose an easy income?

Imagine how bad his USA side were to finish behind Panama.

They needed a draw in their final game away to T&T who had lost 8/9 and already cemented bottom place.

Aye, he did win it in his final season, but had already planned to leave. Can't find too much context on it, but he was there for almost 5 seasons, so probably just fancied a new challenge and PSV were happy to freshen things up.

Anyone mentioned Cocu yet? Has won 3 Eredivisie titles as manager, had 2 spells as assistant in the national team and played at the top level. Might be looking to rebuild his reputation after a disastrous spell in Turkey.

We'd be level on points with Alloa if that clownshoes had come for a corner instead of moaning to the ref about a little bit pushing. We'd also have taken at least a point from Somerset and arguably held on for a draw at Cappielow. That's just off the top of my head. Think he was also at fault for goals at home to Ayr and Dundee Utd, both when the game was 0-0. We've been rank for the majority of the season, but there are still a number of 'what-if' moments that will hurt when we're relegated.

Not sure that's how it works, but OK.

After this shambles of a season we deserve to be relegated. But on what basis are we 'long over due' it?

Steve McLaren Appreciate QPR aren't in the greatest of financial situations at present, but they didn't seem too upset when he was sacked. Had them sleepwalking to relegation after a run of 7 straight defeats and didn't appear to have much about him tactically. Beyond that I'm struggling to see anything recent on his CV that would suggest he's still got 'it'. Two unremarkable spells at Derby either side of helping to relegate Newcastle. Not to mention his international pedigree which is being the only England manager to fail to qualify in the last 2 decades.

He always comes across well on the Totally Football Show, but that's largely discussions around the PL and European leagues. Perhaps he's a bit too close to give an impartial view on this.

They rated Luca Gasparotto and he was an overweight huddy for us.

Doubt I'll be able to find it now, but a betting account I follow back-fitted Lawro and Merson's prediction to the odds and found them both to be in profit over the last 3 seasons

£20m for both is a steal if the figures quoted below are accurate. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/may/02/eleven-sports-la-liga-internet-live-footbal-sky-sports-radrizzani

Be interesting to see how Sky play this. Weren't willing to pay £20m for them a year ago.

Then how much after September? £9.99

The BBC making a documentary accusing Craig Whyte of being a charlatan with no money.

Textbook example that PASHUN is no substitute for ability.

Maybe it's because I wasn't there on Saturday, but I'm not feeling quite as doomed as my fellow fans. After Friday's draw, it's looking increasingly likely that County and Utd will have the top 2 sewn by the time they face us in the final 2 fixtures and strange results can happen when teams down tools (we took 6 points from St Mirren last season after they'd sealed the title). Queens and Morton may also be beneficiaries of this, so still plenty twists left IMO.

Premier offering first month free then £5.99pm until September. Trying to decide if that's worth getting now or hold til next season.

Russian must be pish if they're below us. Easy 6 points IMO.

Still find it absolutely mental that whilst our neighbours consistently appoint Chairmen who've been in charge of Premier League clubs, our President is somebody who once ran Cove Rangers

If we can take 7 points from QoS A, Alloa H and Morton H and pick up one more win from our remaining 4 games, that'd put us on 40 points. Would fancy our chances of finishing 8th on that tally.

Massive goal from Reus there. Dortmund have been behind twice, but look like taking all 3 points. Hertha finishing with 9 men as Ibesevic hit Burki with a spare ball

Think they'll do enough to stay up. They're 4 points clear and although it's been a shocker of a season, there are still about 6 or 7 teams worse than them by xG. Worth noting that their last 2 home games are v the two sides directly below them (Suttgart and Augsburg).
