We all know Craig Whyte doesn’t get nearly enough credit for the wonderful job he is doing for Scottish football but his cause was not helped by rookie manager, Ally McCoist, who when asked today if Nikica Jelavic asked to leave Rangers said, “No he didn’t, not at all. I have a wonderful relationship with Nikica. He never said that.”
The Rangers manager then passed the buck onto the unfairly beleaguered club owner, telling STV, “We received a bid from Everton which Craig [Whyte] found acceptable. Therefore business was done.”
McCoist refused to take a manager’s responsibility for deciding who leaves the football club. Craig Whyte made it clear to all concerned yesterday that Nikica Jelavic wanted to leave Rangers and there was no point keeping a player who didn’t want to be there. Whyte needs the backing of everyone with the best interests of Scottish football at heart, including his manager. The intrusive scrutiny he has been placed under in recent months will not help him achieve his objectives.
Whyte hasn’t put a foot wrong so far, we should all mind our own business and let him get on with his job. Eye on the prize, Craig.

Neither can I!!! All I can say in my defense is that in the spectrum of sports journalism in Scotland I put two fuds next to a craftsman.
Damn,
see what happens when you try to juggle making pizza, guzzling Brahma and CQN quiz…….
CRC obviously ignore “answers” 6-10 inclusive.

Maybe i caught him on two bad occasions!! Or maybe he thought, ‘Oh! no here comes that idiot again!!’ He was hanging out of us in Manchester 1996 on St Patricks Day in the Irish Heritage Centre on Cheetham Hill Rd. We were doin a gig there. He could drink some stuff though, started spillin a load of it come 4am if memory serves me right!!

My mate has made the offer to drive up so I’ll wait until the morning before making a final decision. It’s been a long, long week so I don’t want to be asleep by Perth :-)
