Tipped to be a portugal internationalist im sure he wis mince. Couldnt tackle either but decent wi the ball so that trumps everything eh. Mind the mother boy smashed his face in he wasnt to be seen again after that shat it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said that he knew the team weren't good enough and essentially says Warburton's management wasn't suited to being at our Club. Only mentioned Wallace & Miller as standouts, saying the others were good young players but didn't apply themselves enough. No attempt to challenge each other. No change there then...

He was a good player before he came here and got back to some of his best when he left and was linked with the likes of Juventus if I'm not mistaken? I can't remember him being at fault for any goals, I think he looked good. Only think you can say about him was his heart didn't look to be in it at times. Injured a lot. No great rush about him. That could have been everything to do with environment rather than his ability or the job he done for us. Cardoso was just plain shite. 2 million wasted on that. Think for Alves he just wanted a year of playing before the WC. As you say I don’t think he was interested. Part of my opinion on why I still think Hill would’ve been a better option.

Prso's headband 35,516 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 One of only a few players I’ve seen give everything for the jersey and not himself over the last few years. Shame he won fuck all but could still walk away with his head held high, which shows just how far we’d fallen at that time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkirkNS 6,298 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Alves was the biggest disaster of the those 4/5 seasons coming back up, Pedro the pony was gven free reign and he was on big money as was barton, we couldn afford transfer fees so tried for the experience and give mega wages Football manager theory... Cardoso, the Portuguese and Mexicans signings should never have been sanctioned, the whole pedro fiasco, chief execs head should have rolled plus the directors who sanctioned the whole fucking saga, millions on wages and fees again down the drain... In 20 years time I will remember Clint Hill for his one season than I would remember any them shitebags.. Alves was hear for the dosh, end of. Clint could have done another Davie Weir had he been 2 or 3 years younger, played for the jersey, all we asked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clint could have done another Davie Weir had he been 2 or 3 years younger, played for the jersey, all we asked I don't agree on Alves but the stuff about Pedro I couldn't agree with with more. The most baffling decision we've ever made as a club. McCoist I never liked as a manager from day one. But I get why he was appointed, it was known for years he was getting groomed by Smith but in the first few games you knew he was a disaster waiting to happen and the admin/punted down the leagues kept him on years longer than he should have been. Warburton, again I got. It was a bit of an experiment and he had us playing good stuff and got us out the division where McCoist and McCall failed. It was right he left when he did. Gerrard I'm mixed on. I don't think he's the type of manager that will bring us titles - despite all the good work he's undoubtely done in many other areas. But Pedro Caixhina? fuck me. I'm amazed anyone that was involved in his appointment off some fancy talk and a powerpoint presentation are still in positions of power at our club. The fact Pedro never went that night after the 5-1 Tarriers game is even more shocking. Utter numpty of a guy. Pure clown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alarm bells should have been ringing before he got the gig, Walter gave him the cup games when he was number two and we were pretty shit until Smith started calling the shots in the games, I do like McCoist but he was not a good manager.

An excellent staff coach, particularly with his experience and expertise. It never worked out for him, but I doubt many managers would have coped with the flak from all angle at the time. A shame for all how it all ended, but for me he will always be a legend. I'm sure he could do a job for a lower league team - but the media money and attention will never see him back.
