Add a right back and left back who can actually defend to that list.

Of course. But the heading of this topic suggests is king and Murray’s fault we’ve let in so many goals against them.

FFS you can’t blame the board for goals conceded!

You say that, but it’s plain to see celtic struggle against physicality. You’ve seen it with Motherwell, and it would be the analysts job to identify that.

The issue should’ve been dealt with back then. When we got demoted to division 3 the whole club should’ve been restructured. We should’ve brought in a young manager with lower league experience. Obviously this board have only been in charge a couple of years now, but even theyve only papered over the cracks.

They’ll get 12 or 13 in a row by the time we get our acts together. Were 11 to 15 players short of a decent team.

Couldn’t give a toss wether or not they do 10 in a row to be honest.

Tavernier???? Hes rotten.

I’d take Robinson on hisown

That would explain some of the performances back then, everybody was half cut.

It’s been a car crash. Looks like we’ll have to pay him off at the end of the season.

Forget your £250k a week in Beijing Fernando. Cmon over to sunny Scotland for 5% of that.

Tell you who I would take though. That wolves manager. He’s got them playing some cracking stuff.

Ultimately I don’t think he’s good enough anyway.

Aye but if your shipping goals the way we do, you’d need Ronaldo up front. Our defence is terrible this year. Goalie - I’ve no confidence in. Alves & Cardoso - absolute pish Martin - hasn’t impressed so far Tavernier/John - don’t offer much in defence (good going forward though) The only shining light is McRoarie.

We scored 2 against celtic, still managed to get beat. Its our goals against that are a problem.

Cummings is the sort of striker that would thrive in a 4-4-2. Im still on the fence regarding his overall ability to be in a championship side, but if we’re talking about next season trying to mount any sort of challenge, then maybe he’ll be ok.

A proven winner will cost money in both wages and transfer kitty. The board need to think logically. I’m afraid they won’t though, and go for someone like MPH, because he sounds exotic and has a decent record in his country. This will happen around the time of season ticket renewals.

Can you say truthfully, hand on heart you had ever heard of MPH before he was mentioned on here? Neilson was well thought of before MK Dons. The money down there plays that big a role, that you don’t get long to build a team. Clarke has worked wonders at Kilmarnock, and Ross is performing minor miracles at St Mirren.

Your not looking at the big picture. Your imagining FDB coming in bringing in 5 top class Dutch players and starting off a new era like Advocaat. That ain’t happening. What you’ll get is a few loan players from Ajax, who’ll look like messi in August, but will be warming the bench when winter bites up in Ross County. We don’t have the cash to throw at these managers, so what’s the point in bringing them in?

I can definitely remember being totally unaware of who he was when his name was first mentioned. We’re all entitled to our opinion, and mines is that appointing a foreign manager would be a mistake for us at this point. We need someone who: 1. Knows the league 2. Knows the history and culture of the club. 3. Can attract the type of player we need that can handle the Scottish league. Steve Clarke, Robbie Neilson, Jack Ross.... 3 better suggestions than FDB or MPH.

If Wikipedia is right, I was 20.

Playing Ajax type football will win us nothing in scotland. Most teams play 10 men behind the ball away and at home. Others kick us off the park. At the moment we need to solidify second place. I’ve seen people mention Clarke, and I think a manager of that sort would do that. From that position, we can mount a serious title challenge in a couple of years time. I’ll repeat, at this moment in time, we need to make sure were finishing second. Therefore, bringing a foreign guy in who will ultimately bring in some foreign players he knows, IS A GAMBLE. We could be sitting here in 2 seasons time in the exact same position shouting “MPH out!”.

Can’t remember exactly what age I was, but I do remember when news broke my first instinct was “who?”. Le Guen was a gamble, he was talked up because of his record, but if my memory serves me right, his English wasn’t the best at the start.

I’d also never heard of Paul le Guen, and Pedro Caixinha. We don’t need another gamble.
