geronimoo 1,474 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 McCall wasn't everyone's choice though most were happy with his deal until the end of the season. His first two games were at home to Livingston and Alloa but with the demoralised and under performing squad left behind by laurel and hardy.Many point to these games saying how bad they were. My question is how long does a new manager get with a new squad before he gets it in the neck if he doesn't win games from the start?I have my Torch and Pitchfork at the ready for a good old witch hunt if he doesn't win his first game.

Lerry1971 249 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Ally was given patience in abundance. Its only fair the new guy is given the same. I just hope we get this appointment bang-on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 For me if I see a manager putting lots of good things together off the park, new regimes and philosophies on it and the type of player brought in is the type of player I agree with then I'll afford them alot longer. With the amount of transition that's going to be needed this summer to put together a team, with new ideas and get them to adapt to your way of thinking and playing doesn't necessarily happen overnight and I expect us to struggle early on next whoever the manager is.

raging blue 1972 894 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Should be giving 4 or 5 games with a new squad to bed them in, then if struggling by october time that should be it. Remember wee dick's first couple -what was it 3-0 down at one point think was against shelbourne (I know we won 5-3) and pretty sure first league game got beat off hearts and look at wee dick's team then and how that turned out, so think first 4 or 5 games with a new squad that results may not be great and should be expected, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 He should get a season but i doubt he will. Its vital that we get up this year, every game lost will be like a dagger in the heart to us so i can see the pressure building rapidly Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 given how Hearts romped the championship on a small budget and first time coach - zero.This. Our problem isnt our budget its the attitude of the players and staff. Hearts had the perfect attitude going in and it well payed off.We should cap our wages too.

A Gallant Pioneer 555 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 He will get until it is obvious to everyone watching that he isn't upto the job. Our last 3 managers it only took a matter of weeks and their cards were marked, justifiably i may add. Basic errors, stupid decisions, poor line ups. It doesn't take 4 years to suss a bad manager out you can do it pretty quickly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddierfc 146 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Will be judged on his signings, style of football and most importantly results. If who ever it is does their job right they won't need us to be patient. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthUistBear 86 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Seriously new manager needs appointed asap so he and his assistant can start building immediately. I know that if Warburton and Weir are confident of getting the job they will be speaking to each other about possible players. The longer we leave it the more players available on bosmans we will miss out on. They will need our backing but they need to hit the ground running or they are doomed from the start.

Mr Soprano 13,964 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 A little, we don't have time to dilly dally unfortunately. Imagine we had a shitty start to the season like the last and Hibs done a 'Hearts'? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_r_sole 366 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 It depends on the appointment, the philosophy, the style of football and if you can see progress.In reality we'll be getting the usual chat from some fans of needing big name signings, a big name manager, winning at all costs, wearing a suit on the sidelines etc etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 not much - we have to win the league. A poor start will heap immediate pressure on any new guy. Frankly, I fail to see what makes us attractive to a new manager - no squad, no info on money for buys, no scouting network and no time.

Frankly, I fail to see what makes us attractive to a new manager - no squad, no info on money for buys, no scouting network and no time.I agree, but there is still the fact that we are a huge club in football with a history that is unrivalled, so I can still see the attraction for someone to be that person to bring us back to the big time. A manager with ambition and a bit of an ego could easily want to be the guy that leads us back to our rightful place, it would definitely be a massive part of the attraction.
