Hoofball Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 6 minutes ago, WesthillWanderersFC said: Regardless of your thoughts on whether Warnock is good or bad, the fact we’ve gone for an interim up to May, suggests to me the club lacks foresight & decision making. Everyone knew Robson was edging to the sack for a month or two. Yet we don’t appear to have a clue as to who we want, or have any sort of list of potential candidates. The main positive is that it’s not Neil Lennon. Always a silver lining. I know Warnock is spikey & competitive by nature, but my concern is that he’s just here for one last six figure pay day & a bit of a jolly to see what Jock football is all about. The lack of foresight and decision making are then hidden by the “review” away to take place. Link to comment

And it’s only 4 months to hopefully leave us with European football next season. I think the FMB were begging for Robson to get to that last 10 games which “on paper” are very winnable. But as he proved before he really struggling in the “easier games”. We should be looking to win a bare minimum of 6/11 now. Which would equal our talley from previous 22. Aslong as it is just 4 months. Even if we perform well above expectations it has to be a full time manager in summer and not warnock. Especially if we still have the same philosophy. Can deal with warnock on short term period but it’s time we appointed along with our philosophy. Link to comment

Don’t think it’s in his nature to just to rock up for the pay day though. He will want to achieve something. Beat one of the "old firm" at Hampden. Qualify for europe Has he done either before?

I believe that Dave genuinely thought Robson would turn it round, hence not getting rid earlier with any chance for someone to come in and make a signing or two during the window slammed shut. Warnock gives us the chance to take our time to identify who we want to take over full time. It could be a rollercoaster ride with him though. Link to comment

BitWait Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 All the best for Neil and the club until end of the season. I'm just glad it's not Lennon. Link to comment

I think there's various reasons for Cormack vacillating on Robson, possibly thinking he'd turn it round, probably not wanting to be seen as having fucked up a third appointment in a row, bad advice from a (alleged) FMB that seems to know fuck all about football, etc. but to not have contingency plans in place after THREE prior warnings is just mind-boggling. How many times does this have to happen before Cormack learns his lesson? Here we are at the FOURTH needed appointment and nada.. nothing.. no contingency whatsoever. Link to comment

Simply Red Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Be interesting to see what his immediate approach is. He knows nothing about the squad or the league. Hopefully he doesnt make any hasty decisions with players which we might regret next season. Link to comment

Arthur FN Shelby Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Think Cormack gave Robson time to turn it round as they thought being out of Europe and less travel would see an improvement. What a waste of a season .Again. Link to comment

Player he is talking about is way before my time. Laurent D' Jaffo, signed by uncle Ebbe, was he not plagued injury to his , back, knees, and just about every other area Link to comment

Unlikely he spends hours poring over Shinnie's defensive stats - unless Dave C has been sending him spreadsheets. Either way it is a boom or bust appointment, that should give everyone some good entertainment. Link to comment

ericblack4boss Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 At least he can retire having managed a club that has won European trophies, And maybe go out with a Scottish cup , and European qualification, three more things to add to his list 1 Link to comment
