redm Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 The Herald have been running a top 30 who's who of Scottish football over the last few days and Vlad is in today at number 14. Hadn't seen it mentioned so here you go... 30-21 http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/football/the-30-most-influential-figures-in-scottish-football-part-i.19910956 20-11 http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/football/the-30-most-influential-figures-in-scottish-football-part-ii.19920120 Presume the top 10 will be published tomorrow. A few quite dubious placements in this top 30 so far if you ask me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amadjambo Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Interesting list. Darren and Steven Fletcher aside, the rest looks quite fair and balanced. Is the boy John Park at Celtic the guy that used to be at Hibs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the boy John Park at Celtic the guy that used to be at Hibs? You were surprised at Darren Fletcher? I wouldn't have thought to add him had I been making the list but once I thought about it I totally agreed with his inclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have thought to add him had I been making the list but once I thought about it I totally agreed with his inclusion. Influential on the park at club level, yes. Yet to perform at the same level for Scotland. Is he influential in Scottish football in general? Really? There are plenty Scots out there who have played and managed at the highest level who could be classed as influential too. Personally found the 2 Fletchers inclusion strange. All about opinions I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 So Celtic steal Hib's head of youth development as he has done a great job bringing through you players and seeing them sold on for millions (mainly to Celtic and Rangers) and what do they use him for? Signing cheap foreigners to try to sell the for a profit. Laughable really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fountainbridgehearts Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 interesting not to see john Murray not included yet! if he doesnt make the top 5 i'd be shocked. the same with the uefa pro licence in scotland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterion Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 interesting not to see john Murray not included yet! if he doesnt make the top 5 i'd be shocked. the same with the uefa pro licence in scotland I'm not surprised at all - most Academy Directors/Youth Coaches are ignored by the MSM and football supporters outside their own club far too often. When the Herald writes about "influential" - it's going to be a mix between common sense names and how Old Firm fans perceive the game. If he's listed in the top ten tomorrow then I'll be overjoyed to admit i was completely wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amadjambo Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Big difference playing beside Man Utd team-mates and Scottish tem-mates He's our best player Read what I said, did I criticise him? Nope. Obviously the whole list hasn't been published yet, but if he is considered more influential to the Scottish game than the likes of Dalgliesh, Souness, Roxburgh etc etc then we clearly aren't seeking advice and discussion with people who have succeeded at the very top of the game.

Good point, but they are still 'no mark' internationals and serve little purpose in the grand scheme of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing cheap foreigners to try to sell the for a profit. Laughable really. Excellent point. If he is such a talented guy why not use to develop some home grown talent. They have a few decent young players, but a club like Celtic have the resources to lead the way on this front. They don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oldcastlerock2012 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Ally McCoist at no. 12 of influential people in Scottish football - the manager of a 3rd division club ahead of the SFA's performance director. They just can't accept what's happened to Rangers can they? Or do they really not understand the meaning of the word "influential"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartybuddy Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 this deserves thread of its own but as not allowed to start one post here and hope gets picked up Romanoff Rumbled (allegedly) Lithuania Probes Ukio Bankas in Magnitsky Request, BNS Reports By Ott Ummelas - Jan 22, 2013 2:17 PM GMT Lithuanian prosecutors are investigating claims that $13 million allegedly stemming from a Russian tax fraud may have been laundered through Ukio Bankas (UKB1L), the Baltic News Service reported, citing prosecutor Donatas Puzinas. The probe was initiated in response to a request by investment fund Hermitage Capital Management, where deceased lawyer Sergei Magnitsky uncovered the alleged embezzlement, the newswire said. Prosecutors have temporarily frozen offshore accounts at Ukio containing 40,000 litas ($15,430), with only incoming payments allowed, it said.
