But what I will say is out of the favourites, Neil in particular isn't a bad choice, people keep saying he's a tarrier cause he's from Coatbridge and his middle name is Francis but I don't think he cares less about Celtic considering he's mouthed-off about them in interviews I've read, about stealing Hamilton's youth players etc. If you look at his managerial record, it's pretty impressive for a guy so young, he done brilliant with Hamilton when you consider they have absolute peanuts to spend. He got Norwich promoted to the EPL, fair enough he also got them relegated but look at Sean Dyche, everyone creams themself over him and he got Burnley relegated and knocked out the cup from Lincoln. Norwich hit a sticky patch earlier on this season but he showed the grit and determination to turn it round, now they're doing well again. I'm still not saying he'd be my ideal choice but if you look at it on paper, we could do a hell of a lot worse than him.

Trooblue 1,973 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 The Board must have managed my expectations pretty well because it's getting to the stage where I'll just be happy if they don't appoint McLeish or McInnes.

We had a manager tell us how awful the English market was yet all he shopped in was England. It really was baffling at times Wilson will definitely help with this IMO. In practice, Wilson's appointment will remove the manager's need to do this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 'Catholic', 'tarrier' chat is so outdated that it's a riddy. Generally the best man for the job should be all that matters. If enough of us think the way you do we're just making it that bit easier for the filth to stay ahead of us. I thought we got about 30 years ago that limiting our pool of potential players and employees is damaging. Trooblue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this passage stood out for me. Quote the tactical side of his philosophy is something he works on exhaustively in pre-season until the players automatically understand what’s required in any given situation – 1-0 up, 1-0 down, 1-1, at home, away from home, whatever. The players shouldn’t need to be told how to react in those situations because it’s already ingrained from that block of work in the summer. This is something we have been lacking in recent years HG5 and Tiger Shaw 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect nothing less. Remember this was a club who's supporters threatened a boycott if their Board didn't vote us down. They held their Board over a barrel. In reality Robertson probably had little choice in which way Motherwell voted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we got about 30 years ago that limiting our pool of potential players and employees is damaging. How can you completely miss the point I'm making? How hard is it to understand. I couldn't care less if we signed Catholics. We have done like Albertz, Amo and Mo. That was then. I'm talking about now. I'm talking about the club and it's fans having been demonised for the best part of a decade by every single ounce of Scottish football and people are quite happy to jump into bed with them to build those bridges that so need to be built? That's what I'm talking about. We could sign a team of Italian catholics tomorrow and I wouldn't bat an eyelid. Having them managed by any manager that is a cellic fan is a completely different story. Giving money to St J and Cosgrove who has continually slated us for 5 years is a completely different story. Look how that worked out eh. Signing a player who according to his father couldn't care less about the club and is here for the big cheque is a completely different story. That's the difference I'm talking about. We have a caretaker who is a cellic fan and is DAUNTED about going to parkhead ffs. We have a MD who was part of the Motherwell board who voted us down and your trying to tell me out of the candidates we were linked with he was the best man for the job?   Bears&Reds, K.A.I and markem 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me, nothing to do with him being Catholic, but the fact he managed them - but by going with your reasoning, that shouldn't be an issue. As an aside, he was a hate-filled bastard.
