Was he not the best for the job then?! The recommendations should be coming from ze Germans who were looking at structuring. Link to comment

Big Hat Logan Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 We probably need a Scottish manager or one that’s familiar with the league and understands how much of a toxic goldfish bowl it is. Can’t see anyone being drawn to a club whose own fans would spit on a club legend. 1 1 Link to comment

The whole set up is a massive red flag. The only way we'll attract someone of that ilk is if we demonstrate we are serious about making changes to the structure. If we can double, treble or quadruple their salary that will focus their mind in some cases. 10 minutes ago, Turra red said: For me a foreign appointment is a huge gamble. I have no doubt there are plenty with the skill set to succeed but will they really appreciate how poor the style of play is here. We would all love fast flowing football that is pretty on the eye but that sort of game is stifled by the hammer throwing nature of the spfl. We can all slag Mcinnes but he knew the formula and managed to rebuild several times during his time here to a good standard. It was the right time for him to leave as I do feel he had went stale at the club. The team that got us 3rd last year had a Mcinnes vibe. Big lads at the back and ramadani and shinnie battling in the middle. You then add in a bit of quality in Clarkson,miovski and duk and you suddenly have that little bit more than most which wins you games. Whoever comes in needs to get how our league works and find away to implement their style in a way which can succeed. Foreign manager is a huge gamble but the list of safe bets is honking this time Link to comment

Everyone painted him as some miracle worker 🤷♂️ Since then... Got relegated, then following season was sacked after seven wins in 24 in the Championship. Sacked by Preston for being 16th in Championship. Sacked by Stoke after finishing 16th then had them 20th the next season. Hold me back... We've NEVER appointed a manager with a record as good as this. Deary me. 1 Link to comment

My understanding is that a recommendation was made and also dismissed by the Chairman. I will add, I have no idea if this is true or not. 1 Link to comment

The whole set up is a massive red flag. The only way we'll attract someone of that ilk is if we demonstrate we are serious about making changes to the structure. Any manager with a growing rep isn't moving to a SP side outside Celtic or Rangers unless that up and coming manager is from within the Scottish game. Even so, I can't recall a time that Celtic or Rangers acquired managers that hadn't been dumped by their previous club, aside from Postecoglou, who IMO, is elite. I know fans of every club have unrealistic expectations in their ranks, but going by here, social media, interviews with fans etc there's not one manager that everyone will unite behind. Also, it appears many want a manager with contradictory experiences. Must have experience of Scotland. Must play "good" football. Must be a manager on the up, can't have been sacked in their career for being shite, can't have applied for the job, but we also don't want a "boring" appointment I just want a cunt that wins games, and will understand by every measure the expectation at the football club. There's no way Alex Neil won't know precisely what's expected of him. Bring him home. 1 Link to comment
