I reckon I'm in the minority but even if he would come to us I don't think he is the right choice for us. Reasons:

1. We shouldn't be bringing anyone in because of how big a name they are but how good a fit they are regarding all factors.

2. I personally don't think a foreign coach is the right choice just now. We need someone Scottish/British, and preferably someone who has a good knowledge of the Scottish game and has played in it as well as successfully managed in it.

3. Going for a manager who has been excellent for one club is risky. There are other factors which contribute to manager big successful. We should be going for someone who has been to multiple clubs and done well.

4. Managing Ajax in the Dutch league means you have a lot more money and resources than other clubs around you. We are in a different position than that at the moment. We therefore need a manager who can get the best out of players that were brought in by someone else and work on a limited budget when required.

5. Footballing ethos or philosophy is a positive but it's not always the case that it can be applied successfully in different teams or leagues. Warburton is a good example. Whether it's because of funds or an unwillingness to change from that philosophy, the risk is still there.

6. Cost of failure. If De Boer was appointed and fails, the cost of fixing that is massive and someone we simply cannot afford just now.

I believe in going for the safest option and I don't think De Boer is it.

Who is the safest option for you? Monk?

I don't actually know

Fuck safe, I was someone who has knowledge of players out with the UK, thats the only markets we will get value for money with.

I would rather go down the Chelsea style of play though.

I am actually starting to think attractive posession play is becoming too slow and predicable...or perhaps that was just our brand.

I don't see FDB landing a top job Arsenal or Barcelona is unrealistic tbh that's why I think we could get him.

Cant see FDB heading to Barca to work with Messi,Suarez and Neymar and passing up the opportunity to coach Garner, O'Halloran and Waghorn..

[Jack The Flipper 5,936]

i dont see this happening to be honest, i have surrendered to it being of the likes of mcleish or davies. this board are unimaginative and unsurprising.

my thoughts exactly mate. Frank mcparland has left FDB a pot of gold!

[Moody Blue 9,359]

At Ajax, they have a conveyer belt of youth coming through that they can always afford to bring in some quality boys to the first team. We have a conveyer belt of boys that get released after loan spells in the lower leagues. 

Couple that with the utter dross in the first team squad, we have little chance of attracting him to us without a pot of gold. We don't have that so, much as I'd like us try and get someone like this in, we will be stuck with the usual suspects.

I think it is mate. 

I'd love to be like advocaat had us but I'd settle for Sir Walters style if it meant getting our place back.

I've always really been a results over style type tbh

I think the board were imaginative with Warburton and while it hasn't worked out as planned I think most were pleasantly surprised when the board got him. While it might not be FDB, the board could surprise us again with someone that's not McLeish, Davies, Wright or McInnes!

We live in hope!

That's exactly why I would still be happy of we appointed someone like McInnes. His teams ain't the best on the eye but he knows how to get results constantly Imo.

Wonder if Frank or Ronald would say Arsenal would have to wait till the summer? Somehow doubt it.

Bump.

 

Can't be dealing with Gary Monk on the front page and not this beautiful bastard.

[KingKirk 25,651]

Has he signed that contract yet ?

[RDFM 3,809]

Since Alan Irvine has made me want to top myself I needed to bump this.

I take it your point mate, but I genuinely believe that. He puts his failure at Inter down to joining them only two weeks prior to season starting and players not taking on board his philosophy. With football management being so fickle, one more failure and he might never get another decent job again.

You don't turn down top 4 in the EPL. If Arsenal come calling watch Frank go running, philosophy be damned. A chance to manage at the top so soon after his " failure " at Inter would be a no-brainer for him. Ajax, Inter then Arsenal or Rangers? Sorry m8 wish it wasn't so but that's an easy decision.
