He was out at a do over the weekend where Dean Windass was guest speaker on mental health, life after football etc. After the do they had a few drinks. He asked what's going on with Middlesbrough, knowing he used to play for us. Windass said he doesn't find out anything and really doesn't try to get info from any teams but... He was speaking to Josh this week and josh had said he'd been speaking to James tavernier. They're apparently good friends from his time at rangers. Said something like "why is your brother going to a team to be relegated?". Apparently Marcus told him that the offer of the prem was too good to turn down. He did have a "meeting" where he was offered a sales pitch to stay. This included a payrise, a guaranteed payrise if we were promoted and a gentleman's agreement that we would allow him to leave if we didn't get promoted and a Premier league team or top European league team, along with any team in the champions league (presumably meaning celtic or rangers) came in for him. Along with this he was told we are really going for it this season. Forss was a "done deal" at this stage and we are in for a "big prolific Norwegian lad" that "is going to score for fun" for us. I'd be really jubious but there is no way my mate would have plucked "norwegian" out of the air and no way he would follow any page that has mentioned it. Apparently Tav was concerned he'd pick up an injury or no club would come in for him next year. Was worried this might be his only chance. Sorry for the essay. I know they're hard to read. But has my hopes up on this lad . That has to be the most believable 'not ITK' ive ever heard! So its either well done to you for making this up in such a way that I believe it, or im so i desperate I will believe anything 🤣 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's different when anyone says "i'm not ITK". You are sharing something you've heard and let the points around that either be convincing or not rather than saying "Strand Larsen isn't happening". Link to post Share on other sites

smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Speaking as a successful manager of championship manager 01/02 and recent FIFA games. The way the Boro approached Tav in Tudders post is exactly what I would have done. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not watching that getting excited about a signing that wont happen again! However after that 'story', I'm going to watch it now and invest in the emotional rollercoaster. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
AllBoro10 2,232 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 They do seem like good friends and Windass isn’t afriad to tell Tav what he thinks. This is true I can feel it in my bones https://www.rangersnews.uk/news/former-rangers-star-josh-windass-and-james-tavernier-in-hilarious-twitter-exchange/?amp Link to post Share on other sites

There’s no way Deano is recalling his real name so it’s the ‘BPNL’ It just sounds true! 3 Link to post Share on other sites
