Ahead of signing, a lot of the character reports on Glasner was that he wasn't afraid of speaking his mind, and wasn't one to just toe the line. I've got no doubt that he will be pushing DF and SP to sign the right players and cut the dross. Edited by MrRobbo (22 Mar 2024 12.23pm)

I think we could be pretty decent next season with only a couple in. It depends on who we sell. Wharton and Munoz have helped although Franca, Holding and Henderson haven't. I guess left back, left wing, possibly striker. I reckon Edouard will go abroad or Scotland. I think we'll have to stick with the midfield we have more or less. Doucoure will be back and it will be hard to justify investment in that area. I guess the position none of us think of is centre back but Andersen, Guehi and Richards will need back up and I don't reckon Holding is it. Nor does anyone else. And certainly just forget about Ferguson. Again: O'Brien would have been handy.

Definite will be a squad overhaul this summer, with fringe and key players going who will need to be replaced, along with plugging the existing gaps in our squad. Of the expiring contracts I'd probably retain Hughes and Ward, both as back up, but let Schlupp, Riedewald, Clyne, Ferguson and Tomkins go. Olise will go and it's probably the best time to sell Guehi. I'd capitalise on Mateta increasing his value if we get an offer, if we can't shift Eduoard. Honestly we might end up needing a left back, centre back, right back, left winger, right winger and striker. If we do sell Guehi and Olise, it will be vital that we get replacements early too, before other clubs hold us over a barrel knowing that we have money and are desperate. This will all be a lot harder if Freedman buggers off again.

Ideally we let these lot go: Schlupp, Riedewald, Clyne, Ferguson and Tomkins Sell: and then bring in a mixture of youth and experience to fill in the gaps

It has been mentioned before but the team that finishes 20th in the PL will earn more income than the entire Scottish TV deal. The mismatch is enormous. Growing up Celtic and Rangers would compete for players with the best teams in the old Division one. Today Celtic and Rangers fish in the same pond and as the Championship and frequently lose out on wages. It's why they want to join the PL. Edited by Badger11 (24 Mar 2024 9.25am)

Edited by Badger11 (24 Mar 2024 9.25am) In the list of the highest paid players in Scotland you have to go down to no. 45 to get to one who isn't at Rangers or Celtic - Jordan James at Kilmarnock who's on £8,100.

I have had chats with fans both side of the Glasgow thing and all passionately argued against joining the EPL. The arguments all seemed a bit parochial to me but they mainly valued independence over commerce. Edited by Badger11 (24 Mar 2024 9.25am)
