cosanostra Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Not sure how many people will be interested in this but thought i'd post it any way. I have no connections with inside info about Hearts but I do have a friend who's father is a shareholder of some description in Rangers. He's not got millions or anything but certainly thousands invested in the club. Any way, every so often i get little bits of info from him. He told me that Walter Smith asked Hearts about the availability of Robbie Neilson last year (or the year before that) way before it was in any newspaper. He also told me that Steven Naismith would be handing in a transfer request at Killie and would be signing for Rangers despite all the press reports to the contrary. Basically, he has a good past record of providing decent info. He told me tonight that the current chat among shareholders is regarding the extent of Barry Ferguson's injury. It's pretty common knowledge that he is currently playing through the pain barrier. My friend says that the club and the club docs are seriously concerned about him being able to continue playing for much longer. He also said that there are rumours that next season may be his last as a pro as his injury is not healing. That's all I heard, just thought i would share.

DC_92 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I don't like the guy as a person, but before his injury, he did look to be a very talented player. A shame if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 No reason not to believe you my friend. To say I'm drunk is an understatement, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM. :confused::confused::confused: Basically, he has a good past record of providing decent info. Bazza told me tonight it's a horrible injury. It's pretty common knowledge that he is currently playing through the pain barrier. My friend says that the club and the club docs are seriously concerned about him being able to continue playing for much longer. He also said that there are rumours that next season may be his last as a pro as his injury is not healing. That's all I heard, just thought i would share.

Lothe him or lothe him, he is a great, great player. I wouldn't wish this on him at all, but I suppose him being a 100% kind of player, the old knees wont hold out forever. Buffalo Bill .

Dr Ian Malcolm Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 To be fair to Ferguson, he seems to have the rep as a complete ned but off the pitch you never really hear all that much about him a la Lennon, Riordan and he seems a decent enough guy (when he's not playing). He gets bummed up ridiculously in the press, but thats not exactly his fault. He's definatley been one of the best players we've produced in Scotland for a long time (not quite as good as Ian McCall tries to make out whenever the BBC wheel him out) and he gets a bit of a rough ride compared to others who are more deserving. If he wasn't such a dick when he pulls on the boots or captain one of the most hated clubs going I might actually like the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambo walesy Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I actually don't mind Ferguson. Except from when he is playing for Rangers he always comes across a pretty decent guy and imo is a very good central midfielder.Certainly not World Class as he is made out in the media but definately much better than most off the dross you see week in week out in the spl. Shame if true as he could go on to captain a Scotland side at a World Cup finals if we get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually agree with you BB but not on this.IMO Barry F is one of the most overrated players in the SPL and he showed it in the final by displaying his talents as a leader and a captain i.e.rank rotten.
