Absolutely spot on. And I hope you are right. Link to comment

Dandys1983 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 See they approached Scott Parker with a view to taking over in the summer but he said no wants to manage in England, but I think shows Cormack wants a 'name' this time, though I'm not sure I'd want Scott Parker tbh. Link to comment

Wouldn’t have been a direct approach. Agents will have been asked to identify candidates. SP’s agent asked if he fancies throwing his hat in the ring and he said no. I’m happy enough with that because he looks really annoying. Link to comment

He’s smarmy and would definitely look down on Scottish football. He’s no loss anyway, he’s been a failure everywhere he’s managed 1 Link to comment

Did they? I read what he said yesterday and it looked to me like he was offered the job after Goodwin left, not for this current vacancy Link to comment
thegodfuzzy Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 It's amazing how much a 'name' shifts folk mentality. He's no even had a game yet and folk scrambling to get him booked up. 1 Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Can't be appointing someone on name only. Just look at Birmingham this season. Binned Mowbray who was doing a good job to appoint Wayne Rooney. Then plummeted down the league and binned him after a few months. 1 Link to comment

Mowbray replaced Rooney, it was Eustace they binned to appoint Rooney. But yes, Rooney was a fucking disaster for the roughly 12 weeks he was manager for Link to comment
thegodfuzzy Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Aye I agree. But yet half the support would do it with Warnock. Folk only happy when "he's elite". This is it. Whatever happens he ain't the long term answer It was Eustace that got binned but I hear ye Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Aye Eustace at Birmingham. It was Sunderland who binned Mowbray wasn't it? To replace him with the Mole Beale lol. Another one not working out very well. Warnock has made a name for himself as a manager, not a player. He's been on the go for 40+ years and has had plenty of success stories over that time, so there's clearly something about him. There's a big difference between that and someone like a Rooney, Scott Parker etc who have achieved nothing but failures as a manager despite a good playing career. Link to comment

I think Dave wants a name with a proven record but to get that you have to spend the cash, certainly putting a team together though, the new Head of Recruitment has an eye for a player, and the analyst have a very good reputation, slowing getting the right people in now. Proven manager and a new DOF and we might actually get somewhere here, I think Burrows has had alot to do with getting these guys here, including Warnock. Link to comment
BaaBaaRedSheep Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Could be interesting if we qualify for Europe and/or win the cup, and qualify that way. Auld Neil may want a stab at European Competition? To be honest, if that happened and he didn't want to remain manager, I would offer him a role on the board at the end of the season. If not DOF certainly a position where his infectious experience could certainly benefit us more than hold us back. He could do more as a part-time FMB than the current dozy formation. Finally credit where credit is due. At least Burrows has been tracking Warnock for some time, which is worth acknowledging in a positive way. Link to comment
