DavieMacRFC 850 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 If the next manager is to be Frank de Boer then why get Mcleish or any other guy in to manage us until the end of the season? Surely it would make more sense to get the new permanent manager in asap so he can evaluate who might be worth keeping and identify the key positions that need filled. FDB is currently unemployed and ready to listen, getting a stop gap in makes no sense at all, c'mon Dave get the transfer budget sorted and just get the new man in place now for next season.

I don't think there is any reason why should expect FDB to the manager. What are people basing this on? He would require a good bit of investment. Whoever is the next manager is here beyond the summer, and they won't have a big budget. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm basing this on what the majority are hoping but as I said just get the new man in now so he can assess the squad, makes no sense waiting.

KingKirk 25,655 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 FDB has said he is taking a break till summer.

I don't believe he will be the manager next season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be perfectly honest i think the "taking a break" line is just that, a line for the media. I wouldn't be surprised if he's waiting to see what his options are come the end of the season, he'll have his choice of jobs and will weigh up the pros and cons then, which could mean coming to us but could mean going elsewhere like England were there'll be a bunch of managerless clubs.

You can't go into a club and change what he'd be looking to change halfway through a season. You could but it would put 2nd place under even more strain and what if it wasn't achieved Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that there is no reason for us to be getting our hopes up where we think FDB is coming this summer. We need to be realistic. Our problems have not departed with MarK Warburton, we still have them, and there won't be any quick fix. I agree with your point, but decent investment would require a lot more than we have spent previously. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season is not done, we are in the Scottish cup with a chance of qualifying for a European place next season, granted we ain't gonna win the league and the cup will be a hard task but it would raise morale if we could win it and secure 2nd place, we need a man in to work with what's here already and get us into Europe.

I'd say we have about a 10% Chance of winning the cup. We are chronic. We were all over the place yesterday as well. Whoever comes in will struggle to the end of thebseason. I'd imagine some on here would want the new manager out as we inevitably fall anything between 30 and 40 points behind the child abusers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will get that manager in shortly until season end then the big name this summer.

FDB is currently unemployed and ready to listen, getting a stop gap in makes no sense at all, c'mon Dave get the transfer budget sorted and just get the new man in place now for next season. Let's say we want FDB and he would like to take over, do you think that we'd wait until the pre-season to have any sort of agreement? we'd agree just now and sign a contract that would see his employment start in May or June. In that time he'd obviously get as close as he could to us without getting in the way to evaluate our current squad, youths and then also be identifying targets ahead of time. The interim manager would need to know that they were an interim manager and not someone on a 3 month trial and who may get the job permanently. In some ways it's better, they get an outsiders view to make decisions without emotional attachment. So if he thinks Kiernan has no future it's far easier to jus come in over the summer and say sorry, you're on the transfer list instead of training with him and playing him to then do it later. If the board however decide to give an interim manager a chance at the job then FDB won't do anything with regards to us until he comes in (if he did and that's a big IF). This is a massive decision and the board cannot afford to fuck it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
