I hadn't paid attention to their sale stuff until the purported deadline. It came and went, and now there is just nothing happening. This shitshow is so boring. Anyway, on with another episode of their shitshow with ten Hag.

I think your analysis of Stein not getting a knighthood is bollocks, i’m not getting into it, I’m sure @Magicpole could provide more perspective than me

but your deade right about the rag bias

When I read this I thought the exact same, it’s bollocks, but I looked it up and this, according to secret papers just released is the case. Any excuse. Our players defended themselves against those cunts, who were indeed animals, as a famous English manager once observed.

Stein should have got one and all it did was to increase a feeling of it’s because he managed us.

To use that excuse is a joke. Our team was all Scots and they were a great team, but sometimes you need to defend yourself and they did.

You were right in your assessment of it being bollocks though. Total bollocks.

Obviously I hope the Glazers stay, but another delicious possibility is that this whole thing runs all summer and completely ruins their transfer window. After all, do owners typically invest a load of money in players if they're selling the club anyway? I'd love to see a saga that runs all summer leaving them having to rush through a load of hastily put together last-minute signings.
 
The scums way is to tell the player Kane to put in a transfer request and cause havoc and it’s reported with glee in the media

Another Antony at 100m? Yes, please. Ole went down with the ship that he built that is Maguire. Ten Hag will go down with the ship that is Antony and, hopefully, a few more. Ultimately, though, Ten Hag is my guy, and I would like him stay for a long while.

Can only think of the Rags. Even Sir Matt Busby got one shortly afters.

Jock Stein would have been knighted, but his Celtic players behaviour in the Intercontinental Cup game was seen as so apalling, he only got a CBE.

Cloughie I know wasn't knighted, he only had either a CBE or MBE, while Bob Paisley of the dippers depsite three wins, was also in the same boat as Cloughie.

Pep isn't a British Citizen, so isn't eligible, but he might be for an honorary knighthood, like Bob Geldof for example. The only difference being he can't use "Sir" as his title, but like anyone else awarded can use the post nominals KBE. If Pep ever gets one, he can use "Sir" if Spain is a Commonwealth country, or he gets British citizenship (which I think it isn't).

Terry Wogan only became Sir Terry when he got British citizenship, the Knighthood was originally honorary as Ireland is not in the Commonwealth of Nations.

So yes, only for the Raggies are these noble honours, I blame the public falling for media hype as soon as they won it causing them to lobby him to get it, as well as all the build up hype. We didn't get any of that, but so what.... sod em.

It's a joke that cloughie who won it twice in a row was never knighted.
