The Dude 20,026 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Sometimes different shit is more interesting thoughTrue, but ultimately it's still shit. All that happens is you change the name of the guy we're all moaning about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude 20,026 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Read what I have written - been around here - I did not say registered. Anyway still no answer to the question.Your question was already answered. Fairly easy to spot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsox1 1,361 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 So how do we afford to pay McCoist and his assistants off, pay compensation to Genk for McLeish and allow him the ineveitable spending he needs to strengthen the squad when we need to take loans to pay players wages and are making staff redundant?I always find this a stupid argument as we`ll have to find the money to pay him off at some time. The longer you wait the more it could cost the team by reduced crowds and maybe no promotion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude 20,026 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 He also won his fair share of trophies against the best Celtic team in a generation, while downsizing. McCleish suffered when he tried to build his own team.And thats a big part of the problem. A huge chunk of the squad is out of contract at the end of the season. McLeish would need to build a squad under far tighter financial restrictions than he faced last time out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanhentze 14,154 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Souness would shake the football authorities in this country to the foundations. And he would scare the shit out of Them!Cool, but what about the managing side? Would he take it? Has he been out of the game too long? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
offsiderules 41 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Sorry to burst anyone's bubble lads but let's face it, if we are going to replace the manager who is wanting to take a job where you might not get your wages paid in December let alone will you have a transfer budget in January?

Wullies_bowly_legs 3,811 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 So is it you want Ally to continue, or is it just your usual exercise of trying to shoot down anyone elses suggestions?Your question was already answered. Fairly easy to spot.Nope you didn't answer it. Never really thought you would as seems to be the norm. Anyway can hear the nurse calling to give me my meds so I'm off.

The longer you wait the more it could cost the team by reduced crowds and maybe no promotion.We'll get promoted. In each of the last two years we've had posters insist we wont get promoted. We did both times. Comfortably. We'll go up this season.You're right to a degree. We very well may need to do it but just now we haven't got the cash to pay wages without loans, never mind pay off the management team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblueal 2,117 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 And thats a big part of the problem. A huge chunk of the squad is out of contract at the end of the season. McLeish would need to build a squad under far tighter financial restrictions than he faced last time out.We have 12 players out of contract at the end of the season. We might end up with McCoist and a load of 1 yr extensions to shite players contracts. I'd rather get someone on with good contacts and start rebuilding in the summer regardless of which league we find ourselves in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude 20,026 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Cool, but what about the managing side? Would he take it? Has he been out of the game too long?Souness has went public and stated he has no interest whatsoever in returning to football management. He said it fairly recently on Sky when it was mentioned and has said it as far back as 2009 after getting knocked back for the Scotland job.

He had a heart operation as well, he'll just not be interested in anything high pressure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimfanciesthedude 24,602 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Smith, Struth and Souness definitely never worked out for us.Smith worked under one of scotlands greatest managers at united struth is a completely different footballing era and souness relied on financial muscle Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude 20,026 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Well there you go.. he probably took a look at how Dalgliesh fared and thought, fuck that!I think it's more to do with 'player power' & his health than anything. He's given a few interviews where he bemoans the power that players have now and how they call the tune much more than clubs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinnymate1690 627 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 my ideal pick (and im not saying we could get him) would be eddie howealternatively i'm availible and done pretty well on the old FM , I'd do it for 30k a year as well. where do i email my c.v ?

now then forever 298 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 The Laudrup brothers would be amazing.I think the likes of De Boer, Van Bronckhorst, Numan etc would be interesting.The top three favourties with the bookies are McCall, Davies and Brian Laudrup. Tbh I'd take any of them over McCoist, even if it was just a contract till the end of the season.Or I wonder if Sir Alex is getting bored of retirement...lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malvern 11,329 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Quite honestly I would take a managerial Ant and Dec over the clowns we have just now.How anyone thinks Ally is a good Sideline Mascot is beyond me (well he can't manage for sh1t so has to be there for something!).
