So Bears read that JJ is a dark horse to get the No.3 position due to his contacts and knowledge down South and in Europe.
What infuriates me is if JJ doesn't get the job why the hell can't we utilise his contacts etc anyways? Why could we not invite him to Murray Park to meet say Rae sit down and pass on knowledge and introduce contacts!

Pay the guy a few quid for his time. Same goes for ex-players like Mols Amo Prso etc can't we get in touch and ask if they know or even seen any hidden talent please Bears tell me why we do not do this!

I think you are just assuming we don't Andy. Surely there must be conversations going on with ex players regarding this. I would imagine there is club officials in every club having similar conversations with ex club employees.

Your spot on andy1872! We should be tapping into our ex players knowledge of players they're familiar with! I'm quite sure they'd help us out, no problem! I still think barry ferguson is the overwhelming favourite, for the no.3 position, and will get the job! I still think he's definitely the best candidate for it, especially for the job description, that pedro caixinha is looking for!

It's well known that Warburton discouraged this, preferring to rely on McParland's 'expertise'. It happens in most clubs and if any business subsequently transpires then an 'introduction' fee is usually paid. It will happen again, I'm sure.

I think ex players probably have discussions. JJ seems to do Rangers Tv regularly so he is here and in contact with club

Seriously strange! No matter how good McParland was you need to get players watched! And not just British based Academys. I think we have really sold ourselves short in this department and like u said a contact would only receive a payment if any subsequent business transpired.
