Csaba's interviews are a bit harum scarum though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mishtergrolsch Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I am going to assume (hope) theres a clause to punt if we dont get promoted. Other than that, welcome aboard Csaba! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggerG Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Utd have been pretty pish so far yet have managed to amass enough points to have them sitting second. League should really be a formality now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aladdin Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Happy enough with this. Certainly a better prospect than Hughes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Just watched his ArabZone interview (which is free on the website). I really like him. He's passionate, a bit mental and has the potential for some amazing one liners (his point about Ellis being allowed to kiss his wife after 7 months was a highlight of this first interview). Now all I'll need to do is negotiate match passes with the wife for the next few months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once she knows that you're describing middle aged Hungarian men as "passionate" then she will be glad to see the back of you. How's the wee fella doing?

How's the wee fella doing? Baby is good, starting to feel the exhaustion after the initial adrenaline getting us through the first few days! Wife is still not too great and we had another hospital visit today but it looks like she will hopefully start recovering properly now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyg Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 This could go either way I think. I looked back at the games v us in 2008/9 when he was with Hearts , the number of different high quality players at his disposal was frightening. He won't have that luxury afforded to him this season , so , as far as Scottish football is concerned , it's new ground for him to be working with a limited first team squad. That said , the inability of both St Mirren and Dunfermline to kick on when either could have opened a considerable gap at the top this season means that the league is still there for the taking for any club that can put together a decent run of results.

Well, it's all relative isn't it. At Hearts he perhaps had the third best squad in the division. You could argue that at United he's in an even more favourable position.

Fair enough. 19 months is a bit riskier. And I'd go as far as to say not John Hughes is the best appointment we could have made, with Mr Laszlo being a very good, if tricky to spell, addition.

I think this is a good point. We haven't started the season well, although we do have the biggest budget in the league. Despite the bad start, we are level on points with the league leaders. Had someone made a properly good start to the season we might already be in a bit of bother, but it will help the new manager no end that we aren't having to play catchup.
