It's 'a nibble prior to a chomp' ... ... that's the official technical phrase. In all honesty we need to ignore that as it's a poor translation from the French. L'Equipe aren't actually saying that. It's an assumption that, one day, he'll take over at Marseille but may never happen. Besides, to do that, he'd have to make a big success of SAFC. Win, win.
If only there was something that we could have at our fingertips, a portable device if you like, that we could type in a question and an answer could be given. Until that day comes then I fear we will just have to continue using the internet. https://english.stackexchange.com/q...n-of-the-idiom-to-cut-your-teeth-on-something
Which is why we need young ambitious players on the up, instead of a bunch of has been's or never been's.
He'd be the right fit, but Rangers are a much bigger club than us, even if the league they play in is not.
Exactly mate, exactly. Contracts are the death of our club because we give them to the wrong people. What motivation is there for Graham to even play, never mind train or make an effort. The answer is zero. But give that contract to a young lad, with dreams of greatness, and he'll do everything to get another bigger & better contract with us or elsewhere. Players like Graham, Maguire, McGeady, etc, are good enough to earn a contract but too lazy to earn a new one. We have to stop this and the only way is to have a strict policy and stick to it.
Spot on mate with a lot of the players we've got. I'm sure though, that the likes of 09,Hume, Gooch, Wright, Willis, Embleton, Patterson, Diamond, Younger and Neil would love to rise to the challenge with this club. We need similar types to join this 10 and make a decent hungry squad.
This is absolutely correct. It is blindingly obvious, and the singing of Graham was a perfect illustration of how we do our business. We needed a forward, so instead of having a proper look down the leagues, or the one we are in, and find a hungry player with potential, maybe a couple, we go and sign bloke on the threshold of middle age, who looks as if he hasn't ran a mile in the last ten years. Pathetic and predictable, as was the signing of a useless, not bothered, time serving manager. Until this stops, we won't start.
Odd thing to report when his Mam only owns 5% of Marseille. He wouldn't even have a say at Marseille even if he did 'cut his teeth' at Sunderland. She sold the club in 2016.
Exactly mate, it's just like one of these daft myths like Quinn coming back for 'unfinished business'. His Mam left a bit of an unpleasant legacy so I doubt he'll be running back there, although he is a 'supporter'. The Marseille supporters are nuts and there's a Mafia element to everything that goes on there. The SW Corner is a much safer option
I'm sure with the connections these new owners have, we'll see plenty of people qualifying by having a long lost Italian or Spanish Granny.
Sounds good to me. Take an escalator from the Quayside to St Peter's Metro Station, and another one to the Monorail terminal.
The Metro station was deemed 'unfit for purpose' in the feasibility studies, as well as the various approaches to the ground. I love it all because it's like it's all stuck in the 70's, happy days for me, but it looks shyte for new people, families or visitors.
Maybe it's being taken a bit literally. Perhaps, as a very rich fan, he'd like to own Marseille eventually. His mam, realising she wasn't popular, tells him that rather than starting there, he should run another club like us. If he does well, the fans there would be a lot more likely to accept him, if he still wants to do it. She can't guarantee he'd get the chance to run them, but with the money they've got I'm sure he could purchase them at some point
No doubt about it, the new plans unveiled by the council have ambition and are forward thinking. Would love for the club to get involved with this. Particularly the public transport infrastructure to/from SoL.
Spot on Smug, our bunch of journeymen, with a couple of exceptions, are at the apex of their career and their only direction is downwards. We need to sign or develop players on the up who have ambition in the game.
