That can't be used as an excuse anymore imo. The board need to step up with investment so we're notĀ a perennial second place club. ST's were sold on the basis of going for 55. I wasn't expecting to get it first time round but I expected us to put up a challenge. DK did promise to do whatever it takes. Is this short listĀ the best he can do.

BigAmo'sThighs 848 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Discounting Pedro is foolish - he's hardly the best record, but he's got experience in three different leagues, and had relative success in each.Ā Weve no idea what he's said to the board, he could be exactly what we need, nobody knows as I've yet to see anyone take a interest in Mexican and Qatari football from Scotland, and I'd wager it's a higher quality than here an aw.Ā Rowett would probably be my choice out of the list, but if we're going DOF route, Wilson will have had to had some input in the process, I'm hoping that means he's of the Mauricio Potch mould, relatively unknown but took the league by stormĀ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(1 league 2 cups in 7 half seasons).Ā Now in Qatar at a 5th placed side. The only thing giving me any hope is that he seems to be Wilsons choice and I trust he has done extensive research/knows him from Southampton looking at him. While he would be a gamble, I'm not sure he is quite as uninspiring as you make out. He did take 2 of Portugal's smallest clubs to higher than usual league finishes and both clubs got worse after he left. He also has a reputation for bringing through young players. Unfortunately, that sounds a bit too much like Warburton's background. Also, it depends which version of events you believe with regards to how he left Leiria and Nacional. They claim he was fired, he claims he quit. Plus one full season is a good career for a manager in that league. Took Santos to their first ever league and super cup wins in Mexico. To be honest though, I reckon our board are most interested in him because he stuck around at Leiria for over 6 months without even being paid when they ran out of money.

Laudrup1690 1,064 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Not inspired by the list tbh but if they listĀ is true then I would have to say caxinha,all I'm hoping is someone we haven't heard of is actually a decent manager with different ideas and a different approach,going of point a abit I suppose no one really heard of David Wagner for Huddersfield and he's doing a cracking job for them. heres hoping we do something similar if caxinha gets job. do wish king would put his money where his mouth is and at least try andĀ go for de boerĀ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz52 11,837 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I don't know a single thing about Caxinha to be honest. I've never heard of the guy in my life and we're in no position to be taking chances. The board are a bunch of incompetents but even I don't think they'd be that daft.. After meeting with Rowett on Tuesday and looking like appointing a DoF by the weekend, I think he's the man for the board. Wouldn't be my first choice but we could do a lot worse if some of the names being mentioned are true! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't sacked at Leria he took them to 7th place finish and left the following season over unpaid wages. Took Nacional to 10th after taking overĀ then had poor start following season and left. The 5th place side is best according to Qatari reporter the best that team have done in years. Just cause they are 5th doesn't make them shite, it's relevant to budgets etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,548 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Rowett's style of football isĀ the polar opposite to what we play at the moment. I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing because we are far too lightweight and powderpuff but it hardly points to theĀ sort of continuity that the board are supposed to be looking for does it?
