Scottish Football 25/26

This is incredible if true!

From Fitbaw Gospel:

Megabucks Muscat move 

Rangers FC are set to make Kevin Muscat their highest ever paid manager - and if his signing on fee is included then he will be the most expensive manager in the history of Scottish football.

Everything is all agreed on a two-year deal for the Australian to join on December 1 at the latest - the only thing holding back the announcement is Rangers are still trying to get him in sooner and doing all they can to get him to leave Shanghai Port after their game TODAY.

But with just four games to go and Shanghai top of the league by 2 points - he is keen to finish off the job in hand, they also have Champions League games coming up in November, so negotiations will continue tonight and over the weekend in that regard.

It’s believed that the total cost of sacking Russell Martin and hiring Kevin Muscat has now exceeded £10m - and that figure could grow even higher if Rangers put a package together that lures him away from China sooner than planned.

£10m to replace Martin with Muscat.  

World's gone mad!

The fact that they are clamouring for Muscat is hilarious. I'm not saying he won't be good, perhaps he will be, but the lengths the club are going to and the desperation of their fanbase to have him is so far removed from any evidence of what he's done. He's succeeding when following on from well placed foundations, but struggled otherwise. No one can claim he's walking in on solid foundations now.

Following A-League media and fan conversation whilst here in NZ also makes me laugh. They massively, massively overestimate any Aussie player or manager, in such a bizarre way. In the summer, with a few Aussies joining Championship clubs, they were all insistent that they should not only be at PL clubs, but top ones at that.

UP THE CELTS MOOOON THE HOOPS

It won't be true - the sacking of Martin was rumoured to be about a million as most contracts for managers have a 12 month sunset clause in them 

I fail to believe we're paying anything more than a couple of million for Muscat

time will tell on him 

Rangers dropped more points today and Hearts currently 3-0 up away at Kilmarnock who were unbeaten at home this season. This Hearts team are the real deal. Playing some great football 

Hearts are flying

Standard severance for a manager contract is 3 months pay

Obviously each contract can be individually negotiated but the higher severance packages go to the most coveted managers

Martin wouldn't be in that category but he might have signed a much more lucrative deal than the standard

It won't cost them as much as not getting 2nd spot, which is about to matter less anyway because of the nosedive in Scottish coefficient points.

Outstanding.

37 years, well done Dundee

Let's hope Hearts keep it going.

Great win for Dundee. We could be 8 points clear by Sunday next week. Celtic at Tynecastle up next and I am supremely confident. 

Hope Hearts keep it up 

Scottish football needs a Leicester moment and Hearts winning it would do their domestic league the world of good 

Muscat knocked back Rangers now too

Nobody wants that job now its a thankless task 

Muscat to rangers - OFF

LOL LOL LOL. your boys are taking one hell of a beating. Lorenzo amorouso, Kris boyd…….. stefan klos, Walter smith - your boys are taking one hell of a beating!!!! LOL LOL LOL
