The Reach Group (Daily Record and Football Scotland) and the BBC really can’t make their mind up about Graham Potter moving to Ibrox.
Having a five year contract that paid £190,000 a week earlier this year possibly suggests that he will sit this gig out as some other poor, unfortunate tries to deliver on the demands of angry bears. It was a task beyond Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Micky Beale.
With print circulation of the Record heading towards the 50,000 mark Reach have been pushing Football Scotland in a bid to gain a foothold in the digital market that is dominated by independent fan media.
Record readers can pay to find out that Potter wouldn’t go near Ibrox with a barge pole but over at Football Scotland they are still hopeful of bringing in a credible manager.
The reality is that the treatment of Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Micky Beale by a weak board is a massive red flag to any manager looking to build a profile in the game.
Within six months of reaching a European final the Dutchman was sacked, seven matches into the SPFL campaign the Brains Behind Gerrard is looking for fresh opportunities.
If a competent alternative was available to Beale they’d already be in place at Ibrox, instead Steve Davis and Alex Rae will try to avoid humiliation over the next two matches, if they achieve that they can limp on.
Meanwhile a variety of names will be fed to the Gullible & Deluded while John Bennett and James Bisgrove run around trying to find anyone prepared to put their reputation on the line with the duds that have been assembled over the last three transfer windows.
Reach for the stars… Never heard of that group in the media – Was it not a song by a band S club…
Or should that be SS club after the flags in Liebrox at the weekend –
Great to see The Record down to 50,000 per day…
Get that newspaper lairs for liars open now !
The Potter says Noooooooo!
I predicted the Chuckle Brothers … and what do they get 🙂
They support Rotherham United Paddy – Just about Sevco’s level these days !!!
Three of the Rangers print scoops being filmed for the Record Rangers Podcast with the worry of the world etched all over their faces . Berry , MC Carthy and Wilson hoping against all hope that their pet project will get it right picking it’s newest manager . My god , Berry in particular looked like he was about to explode with all the chaos surrounding his beloved the Rangers . It was seeping out of his every pore . MC Carthy was questioning the quality of the players brought in by Beale ! why now ? You’ve known all Summer long that they were duds yet stayed loyally quiet ? Then we had Wilson ….making up the numbers ,trying to be well informed ! Sitting in his living room ,with the doughnuts on a plate …. he should stick to the Juniors ! There is just 3 reasons why hardly anybody buys their overpriced , atrocious rag any more with futile attempts at being sports scoops . The daily Record is in bigger doo – doo than the Rangers is in . That’s a cinch ….oops !
