How would you ever know which league he was possibly referring to using such confusing antiquated jargon like that!There hasn’t been an SPL since 2013

Did you read that on yahoo st?Reading we have the oldest squad in the league. Depressing and shows how much of a mess the last 5/6 transfer windows have been. The utter mess Wilson has created will have lasting affects the on our player trading model. He can not be given anymore windows he’s already set us back 2/3 years as that’s how long it will take to fix his mess.
That and the fact that most ex players/ pundits etc reckon 28 is your prime makes it something not even worth moaning about.Our average age when we won 55 was 27.7, which was quite a jump from the previous season, and higher than last season, a team that got to a European final.
%^*& there’s been a few today mateI was wondering where today's whinging bastard thread was.
Cheers OP.
If some of them are kept on much longer the club will be getting called Rangers Residential Care HomeI love international breaks ha ha
Any news on our injured elderly??
Once mcgregor, Davis Arfield and possibly McLaughlin retire at the end of this season we will have one of the youngest squads in Scotland
It’s skewered because of those players
The problem is that they are still playing because recruitments been that shit.Don’t feel strongly about any of them staying. Many are past their shelf life at the club.
It will not take 2/3 years to shift McGregor, McLaughlin, Davis, probably Arfield and possibly Jack. Their time will most likely come to a natural end after this season. That alone will significantly reduce the 'average age'. We have guys like King, Lowrie, McCann, Devine etc knocking on the door of the first team. It's too early to write off Tillman and Matondo. All guys aged around 20 years old who could be first team regulars before too long. I simply don't get this idea it will take 2 / 3 years to solve a non-existent problem. We have issues, yes. I just don't see this as one of them.Will take him 2/3 yrs to shift the crap he’s signed. Can slate me all you want it won’t change the age of the players.

That’s the backbone of our team. My point was where is the player trading model coming from that.
That’s grim reading and if the puff pieces coming from the board about money falling from the sky is anything to go bye then it’s 2/3 years to fix.
This is the key thing for me. Squad is good enough to compete for and win the title but we will need to get the younger players in soon and then the value of our squad should get better also with the player trading model in mind also. Not a huge amount of sell-on value in our starting 11 which is my biggest worry short termIt will not take 2/3 years to shift McGregor, McLaughlin, Davis, probably Arfield and possibly Jack. Their time will most likely come to a natural end after this season. That alone will significantly reduce the 'average age'.

This a nonsense statementBiology.
In the average athlete their athletic ability peaks when they are 26 because of biology.
Younger teams are able to play to a higher intensity for longer.
I don't think you know what puff pieces meansWill take him 2/3 yrs to shift the crap he’s signed. Can slate me all you want it won’t change the age of the players.

How many more of these pointless threads telling us how bad Wilson is apparently.?Reading we have the oldest squad in the league. Depressing and shows how much of a mess the last 5/6 transfer windows have been. The utter mess Wilson has created will have lasting affects the on our player trading model. He can not be given anymore windows he’s already set us back 2/3 years as that’s how long it will take to fix his mess.
Aimless rants are what FF does best.Where is this from? Can we see some numbers instead just an aimless rant?
100% of people disagree with that stat (sample size one person, sample taken outside The Brazen Head Saturday night at 00:37, no liability accepted for this stat proving to bollocks)So what is the message.? You don't win the league with older players? Statistics mean nothing according to 3 out of 5 people
