A centre forward is an absolute priority for us. Birmingham have told him to find a new club, interestingly when the English window is closed so he must be coming back up the road. Hopefully we'll get a nice booster next week. More likely he wil be released from his contract if he gets a deal elsewhere, so he could be going anywhere Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm assuming his wages may be an issue.It appears it would have to be a permanent transfer not a loan as we are only allowed 1 over 23 and Danny Rodgers is 24 Even if it somehow is a loan so what would you rather we gave someone like stelios a 1 year deal that won’t be as good. What’s the difference from a 1 year permanent deal to a 1 year loan really don’t get people complaining. We’ve missed the boat this year on getting pre contract deals this year due to the manager situation Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buddie Marvelous 910 Report post Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) This from 'This is is Futbol'..... OPINION Hodson has never really had much of a chance at Ibrox, with just 27 appearances across all competitions since he was signed by Mark Warburton over two years ago. However he hasn’t had much of a chance because he is not at all good – and as one fan points out “truly awful”. The Northern Ireland international is now in the final year of his contract and this loan deal effectively means that St Mirren are paying a chunk of his wages before he is free to leave Ibrox. It’s a good piece of business by Steven Gerrard and Mark Allen, who have probably struggled to arouse any serious interest in the player for a permanent deal. These Gers fans seem happy that he is going anyway, with some of them suggesting that his move away from Govan has been well overdue. It should have happened last year but Pedro Caixinha’s squad management will no doubt go down as one of the worst in Ibrox history.

They will struggle to appoint someone outwith who is willing to not being able to appoint his own coaching staff. Was very surprised Miller took the job without at least one backroom member of staff, someone he trusts in the game, like a former team mate. I see Yogi has came out and had a go at Livy for the way they have went about things. 1 St.Ricky reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
