He does, Michael Beale. But QPR are interested in him as their manager so will be interesting to see how he gets on should he move on. At Rangers it was often said that whilst Gerrard was a good man manager and had "pull", Beale was the main man behind the scenes in terms of tactics etc.

Up here in Scotland we still wear masks in restaurants until sat, mandatory when shopping, on transport etc. Was strange being down for the game on Saturday with barely a mask in sight. Was my first time in a pub with things being "normal" and I could still feel myself trying to distance as best as I could.

Aye the age old myth that Man United with Pallister and Bruce had a solid defence whilst ours was apparently a mess (in particular Darren Peacock getting singled out) when in reality the 95-96 season we only conceded two more goals than Man United.

Assuming Gerrard was a genuine target it's his coach Michael Beale (who is often credited as being the brains behind positive coaching/tactics) that would be the most appealing part of getting him in. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56298826

Thats the type of challenge I like. Will he be in control of sales also or just incoming players?

Carroll will sign and Gayle will probably be sold before the day is out. We break even on money in/out.......guess who wins again.

Ryan Christie and Gary Mackay-Stevens of Aberdeen. Fair play to Christie for posting it on Instagram.

The Udinese keeper Karnezis signing for Watford. Another target gone...

Wonder who the separate issue was? Most probably Hanley but fingers crossed it was Colback.
