Maybe it’s just Scandinavian culture but it can’t be usual to have both the departing and new manager at the same press conference. Anyway, welcome to the club Jimmy Link to comment

Are we Real Madrid or Barcelona, no of course not but we're not based in Spain. We're based in Scotland and in Scottish terms we most certainly are a massive club. It's all relative. So kindly take your negativity and shove it right up your baldy vulva. We're the 3rd biggest, haven't been acting like that recently though but in terms of Scottish and even British football we are not massive, sadly. Link to comment

Next season will be tough. New manager, new squad in the main & a new method of playing to implement… probably when our budget will be 5th in the league? Hearts will have guaranteed £5m from Europe & Hibs will have the new investment from Bill Foley. Both their budgets will be higher than ours possibly, although I’m sure DC will have hopefully promised JT a fair budget to make necessary changes. We will have to have patience, and be prepared for a few bumps in the road I’d think. 1 Link to comment

We will have to have patience, and be prepared for a few bumps in the road I’d think. If Thelin has anything about him, next season should be easier because at least half the teams in the SPFL are absolute murder and have nowhere near our budget. Also, a couple of million possibly isn't much of a difference. We spent a pissload of cash and are struggling to stave off relegation. We could have signed a bunch of freebies and done better. I give you Geuye as exhibit A. I think the largest factor next season is going to be how good or bad Thelin is, and not so much about how much he has to spend. As far as I'm concerned the jury is firmly out on Thelin, though. If he can't get us top 6 with the investment he gets then I'll be unimpressed. Link to comment

It takes more than e a few minutes to turn a ship the size of ours around. We as a fanbase have to stop this hounding managers out of the club every six months because make no mistake about it we share in the culpability along with Cormack and his cohort of suits. Jimmy needs our full backing even if we have to take two steps backwards before we move forward. New era, new energy, new positivity. Picts and Vikings if we unite together will take some stopping. 1 Link to comment

Next season should be seen as a year of rebuilding.JT will need a minimum of three transfer windows to develop his own team. I hope the fans will be understanding and supportive in terms of what may well be an inconsistent next season. Link to comment

Would have thought that there isn't a rush (there isn't) and that he wants to leave Elfsborg in a good state which is also a good sign. A big opportunity for the club and for Thelin - look at it as a long term project. Link to comment

Belabedlam Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Fingers crossed that this start date in summer is going to be preceded by us appointing a Technical/Sporting Director like we keep hearing about. Maybe then we can have our shit together a bit and give his reign the best possible start. Link to comment
