Why are they called the Bears? I know Celtic call them the Hun, but why the bears?

Thanks, Mike. I was thinking of checking the last set of numbers for the Deloitte Football Money League… but I see that should have been published in late January, so I must have missed what they said about us this year — or we have dropped out of the Top 30 completely! I can\'t see that Paul says where his numbers are from, and he probably is using many different sources, but Premier League clubs typically don\'t publish their accounts for the previous season (2024-25) until the end of 2025 (for PSR) and often not before the end of March 2026. And Paul makes the point repeatedly that he\'s talking about 2025-26. I just find that puzzling.

Our old mate Gerard D is also trying to fight back who says that he is looking for a \'miracle\'. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c89kxxpj1vko

Just because we are higher on the table than Bournemouth (on goal difference I might add!), it doesn\'t make Iraola an inferior manager! Check out the list of players they have sold recently: Antoine Semenyo Manchester City £63.00m Ilya Zabarnyi PSG £55.00m Dean Huijsen Real Madrid £54.00m Milos Kerkez Liverpool £41.00m Dango Ouattara Brentford £37.80m Jaidon Anthony Burnley £9.00m Luis Sinisterra

Chermiti has 7 in 15 appearances for Rangers Dave A (I imagine that a few of those games have been off the bench). Not a bad return, although he seems to save himself for the big games: Hearts x3, Celtic x2. I think that it would be fair to say that he was not welcomed with open arms by the Bears who were worried by the high price and the criticisms still flow. He got trounced in midweek after missing a sitter v Motherwell in a poor performance by him and the team.
