I know mate I totally agree, but the next choice of manager has to be 100% right, we’re running out of time to stop the filth and we can’t keep making these crazy manager decisions. I’d hate to think that Dave King could read these forums and think that we actually want some of these guys as our next manager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said "the overwhelming sentiment on here was that we needed a British manager, proven in Scotland, a safe pair of hands that could achieve things in a budget" - And it was. It seems now the appetite is to take another punt on a guy from abroad, who has no experience of British football, and by his own admission wants a break from the game. If he did come in and fail we'd be getting told how these foreign managers don't understand the physical nature of our league, the speed, or the high intensity of it again. We never learn.

Short term. Every single one of those names mentioned has skittered from club to club and won fuck all. Yes, they take over and there’s an initial run of good results, but inevitably it goes tits up. I’m not arguing with you, I want the same as you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of Mark Allen's role is to identify potential managers and take that to the board. Mark Allen has the potential to be objective and select the best candidate but I worry the board will overlook that for a more popular choice that sells season tickets.

Voicey 13 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Mark Allen has put in a great shift getting some of the loanees we now have and with some of the new longer contracts for the players. I hope he can continue the good work with a new manager in May. I’ll support the team regardless, as always. But we can’t afford any more cock ups.

Do you really think the fans need any incentive to buy season tickets? Serious question. It keeps coming up, but I don’t buy it. Fans will be gagging for next season whoever we have as manager. 35 Yard Dangerman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a top club and many good managers would want to be the man to awaken the sleeping giant and become a legend, If we offered the guy the post he wouldn’t tell up to shove it as he sees an opportunity and wouldn’t give a shit that we gave the job before tovan under 20 coach, if we had done it by bringing in an outsider then he may have been pissed off , even then it would have no bearing on the job in hand Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFC RYAN 2,967 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 What would folk think if FDB got it ? I know he was poor at Inter and Palace but was good with Ajax and the dutch league is more similar to ours that Serie A and the Prem. Who knows what this board are thinking Robertson said Murty was doing a good job when he got given the job to the end of the season I know he has improved since then but he wasn’t doing a good job at the time he was appointed. This board have appointed Warburton,Caixinha and Murty so don’t know where they are going to go with this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Spiers, of all people, making bold claims on twitter that he would've jumped at the managers job then. We overlooked him in favour of Warburton and a few years later we go back in for McInnes and get shunned. We can call McInnes a bottle merchant but maybe he was pissed off at being overlook prior. The whole situation was very odd. HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
