>McLeish’s last throw of the dice!

>Alex McLeish is desperate to turn round the flagging fortunes of the
>Rangers team. He hits upon the idea to study the coaching methods of
>George Burley at Southampton, as the ex-Hearts manager had such a good
>record in the SPL.
>
>So Big Eck heads down south to take in a Southampton training session
>but sees nothing that Rangers don’t do in their workouts. When they
>break for lunch Eck has a quiet word with Burley; “How did you manage to
>get the Hearts boys in such good condition that you were able to stay top
>of the league ahead of they tattie howkers for so long?”.
>”Well I train them mentally as well as physically” Burley explains. “I keep
>them on their toes by asking them tough questions that make them think
>deeply. This keeps them alert and their reflexes razor sharp. Let me give
>you an example.”
>
>He calls over
>Nigel Quashie and asks him a question. “Nigel” he says “He is not your
>brother, but still he is your father’s son. Who is he?”.
>Like lightning Nigel replies “That’s easy. Of course, the answer is me”.
>
>Burley pat’s Nigel on the back and sends him away. “You see Alex” he says,
>that’s the way to keep them sharp.” Big Eck returns to Mordor and decides
>to try this at training the next day. He summons wee Barry over and says
>”Barry, I have a question for you”. “Fire away gaffer” Barry replies. So
>Eck continues “He is not your brother, but still he is your father’s son.
>Who is he?”.
>Barry blows out his cheeks, runs his hands through his hair and thinks
>long and hard “Eh…ah’m no’ sure boss, it’s a bit early in the mornin
>fur a tough question like that. Kin ah get back tae ye?” Big Eck agrees to
>give him till the end of the training session to come up with the
>answer.
>
>Bazza has a crafty idea and goes up to Thomas Buffel and puts the
>question to him: “He is not your brother, but still he is your father’s
>son. Who is he?”.
>
>Without hesitation Buffel replies “The answer is obvious, that is me”.
>At the end of training Eck summons wee Barry and asks him “So, have you
>worked out the answer yet?”.
>
>”Yes” says Barry, full of confidence and chest pushed out with pride
>”The answer is Thomas Buffel”.
>Big Eck throws his arms up in frustration… “Naw ya wee fannie!!”….
>”the answer is Nigel Quashie!”
