Don't think its a big factor that he has only managed at Alloa. Yea, I'd agree with this. I think I'd be quite happy with seeing Jim back at the club. Ian Cathro would be interesting too.

I'm sure he's a fairly decent coach, but it was absolutely clear he couldn't handle the position of manager. Ok, you had Levein in the background, but every single press conference he came across as someone who just didn't understand the job he was meant to do. His signings were also very questionable. I feel people only hint at Cathro because of the Goncalves connection. If so, and I'm not suggesting that is the reason you have mentioned him, then that's grasping at straws.

Buddist Monk Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 Robbie Neilson on Scotsport was talking about the job. Essentially he's saying for him to take the job there has to be a budget in place to be able to "achieve something". He was fairly positive about it though. Davie Weir and Jim Duffy both said they were interested. Weir effectively said, "I'm unemployed and the job is available, of course I'm interested" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry Saint Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Ok, that's me convinced on Neilson. He's my number one choice. I wonder if Hearts fans would be annoyed if we employed him. I do hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 For what it’s worth, I got told a few weeks ago that if Ross left, Neilson was going to come in to replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact this is normally the reaction I have... I know, but look at the fucking options, who'd make a poll of that. If there are some serious contenders other than possibly Neilson then I'll add one.

Being a Monk you should know better. Yes, the first little section was a little dig, however, I was interested in the pro/con. It's obviously made money, well I hope! As an insensible, verging on mental poster I'm all ears, should all diddy clubs start to open old firm shops attached their stadium? Is the money worth it, while personally the fans like yourself sit back. I'm just curious of the ins & outs of how/why and was their any fan considerations beforehand. As for a little dig at Forfar, f**k you am livid. Is Lee McCulloch still available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disappointed he's gone, but Sunderland aren't the basket case they were just a few months ago when they were chasing McInnes. They're also due a £35m parachute payment which will dwarf the budget of most teams in that league. Given their resources, they should piss that division next season. Think it's an astute gamble from Ross and hope he does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignoring Jack's qualities as manager, the Sunderland job, now they've been taken over, stands to be a very flattering gig for any manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
