We missed our chance to start again when we crumbled to build a sustainable team of young hungry players by the time we got to the spl.
Instead we are spending out with our means instead of moulding and helping good young players I. e mccrorie. Docherty mebude. Gilmour. Instead of farming them out on loan or losing them completely. Gerrard should have been able to develop and mould docherty and McCrorie into fine midfielders. What player have we actually bought and then sold for any decent profit in the last 5 to 10 yes.

Agree'd Cambuslang .

Only thing is Stevie is an experiment that is failing time and time again .

I now personally don't believe he will ever learn and become a professional manager.

He can kiss goodbye to his dream of being the Liverpool manager any time soon.

Utter nonsense. If that was the case the lower teams who rely on younger players coming through and the cast offs from the top teams would be successful. Its just not he case. Man utd were the only example in the last 3 decades that this could be possible. The youngsters are just not good enough. Both had plenty of chances let's just accept they are not good enough. I will admit we need some player in and the best we can afford - big, technical, hard hitting winners. let's give up this fine margin football and just smash teams with shear strength and power.

Blue Billy nobody is saying play a full team of kids. How can these youngsters ever get better if they aren't allowed to play and grow. That's why the national team and the whole of Scottish football is in this mess. Prime example john fleck the next Wayne Rooney 10 years ago let go by rangers with no first team opportunities and now look Sheffield United player of the year in the epl. Lewis Ferguson let go because he's too 'small'. We don't give lads a chance that's why they are scared to even go and beat a man. lack confidence. I would love nothing more than to go and knockout Leverkusen or at the very least give it a good bloody go.

Actually reflecting on what you say I agree with your 2nd post in particular. Young players need key development in senior football from the age of 15/ 16 if they don't get it then that stalls their development and they don't make it to full pro. Unfortunately the Scottish leagues are not the best environment for some youngsters to develop because of the physicality as you say because of size. don't mind who plays for Rangers as long as we are winning would love Haliday to be a Laudrup but we can't have it all.

I think you have to look at how long it's took Fleck to get to the EPL before using him as an example and the club's he played for. 👍.
