John Lambies Doos Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Some utter moon howlers on here. Mcleish has a better cv than Michael O'Neill who many were cleaning themselves over. He's managed at the highest level, won countless trophies and will bring a lot of passion and experience to the job Who cares that he 'walked out' on his country. You would have to be mental to turn down an English Premiership job. I suspect the main reason is that he is an ex Rangers man, which nowadays apparently you just can't be. Had most of his playing success with Aberdeen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Wow he won a cup tie he's basically guardipla. McLeish took rangers to knock out stages of the champions league. O Neill s team finished that group with 0 points and -19 goal difference btw. That's worse than 3-0 every game. Have you seen/heard the man recently though? I hope I'm wrong but it really does look like there's something wrong with him. When was his last success? That was a genuine question. Birmingham? It certainly seems a long time ago. I'm not against an old guy being in charge but he seriously doesn't sound well. As I said, I hope I'm wrong but this looks like a dreadful appointment.

Bully Wee Villa Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I know it's easy for me to say, as I don't live nearby and don't attend games.... but people really need to boycott. This has only been done to save money. Hit them in the pockets, it's the only thing they'll care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but getting them to the group stage will be the only time in history a team roi will get there.

Jaggy Snake Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 The only positive is it makes the decision to save £80 by not renewing two memberships much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainMorton Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Better option than Caldwell, M. Mackay or Gemmell. Has experience at this level and knows what he is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His last success, swiftly followed 3 months later by him getting them relegated. People (the media) seem to be totally forgetting this when they are talking up his time at Birmingham.

Mr Heliums Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Wish him all the best etc etc, but surely even he thought he had no chance. It's an appalling choice. Is there any other serious reasoning behind this appointment other than he once managed an old firm team? Will be fascinating to see the crowd at his first game – and what sort of squad bothers to pitch up for the friendlies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I was genuinely beginning to feel sorry for him, touting himself for every managerial job going on podcasts, TV and radio appearances. It was becoming a bit embarrassing, so at least that should cease now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
