Nobody, and I doubt any name we get linked with will please everybody. Muscat’s only ‘rated’ because Postecoglu won this league.

 

He’ll likely finish second to a team that finished 5th last season and not won the league in 20 year.
 

They spent money on two players and one of them was €1.2m, and a grand total of €1.4m.

Just ignoring the improved points and massively improved (and far superior goal difference to Shenhua) then?

Its fairly obvious you don’t want Muscat or rate him from your posts but he has them playing better and scoring far more this season so just saying he’s taken the best team and made them finish second is ignoring the details

Agreed. I think we need a strong personality first and foremost. Somebody who has aura instantly installs confidence not only in the players, but in everybody around them. His results were hit and miss, but look at the lift everybody associates with the club got when Gerrard came in. The problem is, I’m not sure who’s out there that comes in and gives off a similar vibe right away.

There's a part of me that wants things to align where Glasner is binned by Palace and we snap him up  but is he the type of personality you mentioned? Doesn't really seem like it. What about his style of play, would it fit us? Not really sure. That's before you even get into unrealistic in terms of wages etc.

Our biggest problem right now, amongst many, is our lack of goals. What I would do for two up top. 

A fit Danilo & Igamane playing together has potential. 

As bad as Dessers is, he is far too isolated. We really need to get away from that set up. It's too easy to defend against.

Our biggest problem right now is the manager.

It ended badly, but bloody hell the lift and togetherness we all got when Gerrard came to Ibrox was something I don't think i've experienced. 

It was that proper 'celebrity' boost.

It felt like the standards across the board immediately lifted. No more Warburton’s, Caixinha’s and Murty’s. I feel like we are in a similar position to that just now. We need something, somebody, who’s going to just lift the atmosphere and inspire confidence.

He’s had a budget since he came in last November but it’s nowhere near enough to bring in the calibre of player required to compete in Europe and win the league. Finishing second wasn’t good enough and neither it should be but whoever is manager give him the funds that’ll put our squad on a level playing field.

Also when you look at that budget take into account the players that left in the summer. 
Do you really believe he was given enough to bring in the calibre of player required?

If this poll is representative of the wider fan base his days are numbered. 

Do you think he’s getting the best out of the squad available?

his tactics and formations aren’t working at all but he persists

The players body language imo they arent behind it at all

we can talk about budgets so we should compare what Killie’s squad is valued to ours and they seemed to compete just fine

We definitely need someone to come in and unify the club and the support again, a galvanising voice in that mould.

It might ignore details, it’s also factual.

Aye that’s the only reason I want Muscat because of the fat tadger 🤣

I’m out 

If we were linked with a guy who’s only success was in Australia and Japan, the majority of which was 6+ year ago, and Postecoglu hadn’t dominated here, it would be laughed at.

If my auntie had balls she’d be my uncle and all that patter.

Thanks for clarifying my reasons for wanting Muscat mate.

There’s nobody who ticks all the boxes.

Ideally need a strong personality who gives off a Souness, Smith or Gerrard like aura, but we also need them to encourage attacking football, while keeping the team solid at the back.

There’s not a manager out there, at least within whatever budget we are going to be working with, who ticks all of those boxes. We will need to decide  which one of those three traits are the most important and appoint accordingly.

Nah we'll definitely not get someone that ticks all boxes and our entire support will be behind.

There will always be some flaw that gets focused in on. 

For me it's the last two traits attacking football with a solid defensive unit to fall back on. 

[SIRB_72 4,177]

I don't know about attacking football. Just the fucking basics would do me right now.

We need somebody to that in the fuckin board room as well as on the pitch
