stumigoo Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Nae Bairn yet ? Nope, four days overdue now. I’ve also got to go back to work tomorrow because I originally had my two weeks booked for beginning but can’t due to the lazy baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I recouped my losses on McDonald simply by betting Hearts to beat you're mob yesterday . But I don't have an opinion on a good fit for the arabs , even more so I imagine trying to second guess Thompson would be the gateway to financial ruin. Hearts were odds on so I'd be intrigued to hear how much you won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an ideal world we could do what Hearts did and take a punt on someone young and a bit different but we don’t have that luxury. Tell me you're taking the piss.

stumigoo Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Tell me you're taking the piss. I’m not. I don’t think we should but in an ideal world clubs should be trying to employ managers who fall outside of the usual Scottish managerial merry go round. Do you not think so?

I don’t think we should but in an ideal world clubs should be trying to employ managers who fall outside of the usual Scottish managerial merry go round. Do you not think so? Maybe at some mythical future time when we've been back in the top division for a few season having achieved mid table mediocrity and with a settled squad and need a new manager I would consider this. Right now we need someone with organisational ability who can get us out of this league. If, however, Steven Thompson has a floopy and appoints a Cathro type I will blame you and not tire of punching you in the back of the head at home games.

Twinkle Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 We certainly got the last laugh. McCall cost u a fortune and the old cant died a nice painful death. Certainly cheered me up that day. What a fuckin sad sack [emoji38] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the reason your list is grim is because the only 2 that were actually rated and out of work were Hartley (not that you would have wanted an ex Dundee Gaffer) and Own Coyle tbh i think ourselves and Ross County got lucky. With adding to those names youve got the likes of Gus MacPherson as well and your Gary Holts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnAnInginAneAnA Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I overheard an arab on the bus tonight seriously say to his mate that yinited should put an offer in to Frank DeBoer because "he's out a job and it'd get him back in to management at a decent level". It took every ounce of self control I had to not piss myself laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are stuck in a poor position. As I said earlier we don't have the luxury of making an 'outside the box' appointment or have the ability to take our time over it. Things will have to be tied up within the next 7-10 days I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took every ounce of self control I had to not piss myself laughing. I'll add that to list of Strachan's etc that you can find over on Facebook and other social media sites. I even saw a long back and forth between a set of fans about Alex Neil before it was pointed out some time later that he already had a job. I actually enjoy the names that appear from some fans, I love their optimism... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with most clubs they want someone tried and tested and knows the Scottish game unfortunately knowledge of the Scottish game is where it stops and your left with the list above theres very little success in amongst it or proven track record as they have all been sacked for a reason. you could probably cull half that list tbh Peter Houston - left for a reason due to budget cuts Pressley - Probably come out with the wants a better club and a higher level Tommy Wright - would be mental to leave St Johnstone and the choice for most Rangers supporters should Pedro be sacked on account with a. he's N Irish and b probably a protestant. McCall - Again another ex manager that probably wont get looked at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he take a pay cut , everyone knows saints bought their way out of relegation last year and will buy their way to the title this year.

And besides Ancelloti would be a far better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
