sooth_stander Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Colgate must be keeping everything crossed for 6 points this week, or 4 at the VERY least, cos otherwise, how the hell can you tempt/appoint a foreign manager and introduce him into this shitfest? Link to comment

CCB III Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 23 minutes ago, Dunty said: Like I say, we had this debate, and you're extremely selective in your stats. Norwich were six points off top when he took over. They finished third. It was not this miracle people make out. Sunderland were three points off the top of League 1 with the biggest budget when he worked wonders and got them promoted. It does when they've been sacked in three of their last four jobs. The one he wasn't sacked (Sunderland) he walked away six games into the season. He's literally been getting sacked for falling well below expectations. How do you know? You don't know who has applied. Yeh that's fine, but Alex Neil isn't it. And knowing your posting style on here, you'll be first to call for him to be sacked. You're also selective in your stats. Derek McInnes was sacked from Aberdeen, does that mean he was a bad Aberdeen manager? He met expectation in a very good amount of seasons of his football management career. Exceeded them with some clubs. It's not selective to say that. If he has met expectation at every club he'd managed for the entirety of his time there he'd probably still be managing in the Premier League, but he's not, which is why we're having this discussion. Ok, so getting Sunderland/Norwich promoted with their budget= meeting expectation. Let's say he finishes third in his first season with us, is that to be overlooked because that's what he SHOULD do? Personally, I'm less likely to call for a manager to be binned if they have any pedigree to hang their hat on. Something Glass, Goodwin and Robson didn't. As recently as last season he managed to get Sunderland promoted out of third tier at the 4th time of asking, can't have been that easy a job. You're acting like football is akin to FIFA or football manager whereby if you've a big budget it just means you'll win games. It all takes a set of skills. "Been sacked from 4 of his last five jobs" doesn't mean anything. If he signs for us, he'll more than likely get the punt at some point. That's management. IMO, you're off your head. 1 Link to comment

No club bigger than Aberdeen, or on a par with Aberdeen, even considered him after he left Pittodrie. Hearts and Hibs have had vacancies numerous times in the last three years and yet the guy who finished second with Aberdeen and won a trophy wasn't thought of. That says a lot doesn't it? For Kilmarnock, their fans would have thought getting him was a coup. Hearts fans wouldn't. That's what I think when you try to sell me Alex Neil getting Hamilton promoted then getting sacked every time he's made a step up. 3 minutes ago, CCB III said: Ok, so getting Sunderland/Norwich promoted with their budget= meeting expectation.

Your argument for Alex Neil is he met expectations initially, and that him then failing and having poor results and getting sacked is irrelevant. That is literally Barry Robson at Aberdeen. 3 minutes ago, CCB III said: As recently as last season he managed to get Sunderland promoted out of third tier at the 4th time of asking, can't have been that easy a job. 🤯 How many times do you need it explained to you?

RDS Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 In Daily Record online article they're claiming we have or will interview couple of overseas candidates as well as domestic ones. Not sure if it's straight off press conference but quotes from Leven about how he's hoping to stay on as part of coaching team, proud to step up as interim again but acknowledges not enough experience compared to what Board are looking for just now but learning all the time and would love job one day Link to comment

You were very keen to point out Sunderland were fourth when Neil took over and fifth come the end of the League season. But chose to ignore the season doesn't end if you finish third to sixth, as you enter the Playoffs. Sunderland won the Playoff Final which saw them promoted to the Championship. No worse than had they finished first or second. Viewed another way, if you're a Sunderland fan at Wembley watching your team being promoted via the Playoff Final. Are you elated your team's going up? Or are you cursing Alex Neil for failing to maintain fourth position, which would have led you to ... the playoffs? 1 Link to comment
