Sheeptastic Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I think Warnock's rhetoric about getting a manager in now to assess the squad is a bit of spin because he's probably a little embarrassed by how his interim spell has turned out and decided to leave because he didn't want his CV blemished. Perhaps being cynical - and I was on board with him coming in short-term - but it seems to me that he's been totally caught off guard by Scottish football. He hasn't managed to get a reaction whatsoever and his scattergun line-ups suggest he's found it difficult to assess the squad and league himself. He probably thought his time here would be a bit of fun where he gets a tune out of us, we make a push for top six/Europe and go on a cup run. The league performances just haven't been there and his pride has been hurt. He's decided to leave and that's caught Cormack short, who is now going to have to fast-track whatever prawcess he's currently working on at the minute. 1 Link to comment

He generally likes a younger manager (Warnock was used interim and for advice) so don’t expect anything different in that respect. Bolton’s manager Ian Evatt likes this style of football….just saying. Good chance Bolton could go up to the championship though. Can't see why he would pick us over the championship. Link to comment

I’ve never heard of a chairman dictating team structures etc but given he also appears to be the de facto DoF, not really a surprise. As well as the new manager announcement, of even bigger importance is Cormack announcing his recongnition of meddling and a promise of its cessation. 1 Link to comment

Different tactics are required for different games and different moments within games. Having a rigid formation or tactics would make it more difficult to be successful at our level Link to comment

Theyre not the same. however, do you not think (normal) clubs appoint managers based on such things as mentality and style, as well as results ? Link to comment

Having a rigid formation or tactics would make it more difficult to be successful at our level But we have to see if we have a manager or a head coach it seems that with Robson he had little or no say on signings so that indicates the Head Coach role, but if you have a 'Manager' they really have full control and don't really require a DOF, unless they use the DOF for handling of contracts and transfer negotiations, so does anyone actually know the set up we have 😂 Link to comment

Was there not someone on here mentioning his last few jobs, they’ve started terribly, a bit like his time here… Then he gets a result that turns things around and the team goes on a run? I imagine if that’s the case there would have been a few of us thinking Saturday may have been that result. Guess not now. Link to comment

Another mis-step on the part of Cormack. Just hope accelerated process coupled plus Warnock walking doesn't equal panicky appointment. Link to comment
