Atleast on this occasion it’s not the manager that’s knocked us back. Link to comment

No one is doubting his ability (at least from the slim pickings we have) to get us out of this particular hole. In fact given the last18 months the players almost deserve a taste of him. Thats not the issue most have however. Link to comment

As I said, I'd prefer someone else but since we are getting rejected by a few, maybe it's time to go with his experience. And maybe he's changed 😁 Link to comment

Pop corn teeth is a fucking liability when we need stability, He would do well in the short term but nae worth the drama and the search for another manager in 2 - 3 seasons 1 Link to comment

With minijc and slippers recent posts it very much sounds like it was very very close to being agreed and fallen through at last minute. Scott Burns saying he was never offered it or turned us down doesn’t do himself any favours 1 Link to comment

sooth_stander Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Wonder what Thelin’s salary and release fee is, at Elfsborg? If Cormack was prepared to pay Derek wages for MoN plus a huge compensation fee, then surely we could afford to prise the Swede away from his current employer, even if their season is just about to start.

He’s got to have some interest in the job for that to work. Backwards step for him at the moment, lost the league by a ballhair last season, Europe this season, heavy investment in the squad over the close season to go for the league again. Link to comment

I don't think money is the issue with him, he's probably still affronted from us picking Robson over him last year. 1 1 Link to comment

pittodriepie83 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 3 minutes ago, The Gee Man said: Or we were never interested Maybe but I’d say my theory is more likely, Tosh has just admitted O’Neil was the name he was told. Putting all our eggs in one basket for a mediocre manager only for him to turn us down after weeks chasing him is right up Cormack’s street. Then tell everyone we didn’t even want him anyway. 1 Link to comment
