Fratelli Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) If we're going with pie in the sky options we'd be as well going for Bielsa, never happening but it'd be some laugh. In a realistic sense, there aren't any obvious names mentioned that fill you with any sort of optimism. We'll have to go foreign, and even then narrowing down to the managers who would are available, and who would actually want the job doesn't leave you with too much.

velo army Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I was one who said we had the best group in 30 years. It's maybe a stretch as Colin Hendry and Davie Weir would walk into this team. I'm certainly revising this opinion now given the utterly gutless performances recently. The mention of Joachim Low earlier had me salivating. I don't care if we had to go for a third party to pay his salary like Eire did with Trapp. I'd bite your hand off for him. I have no doubt he would have many things to say about Scot fucking Gemmil and the 21s, given he was Germany's U21 boss before he took over the reins at Die Manschaft. Make it so Maxi. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been called worse stuff on here than anywhere else on the whole site. It's a bit weird, given that we're all kinda on the same team, but it's definitely the case. Try being me, over the last 74 pages I've been called allsorts. Ar**hole, c**t, mental (numerous times) I've been told i need my head examined (I declined this advice) And my heinous crime? Having a different opinion on football Over all this time I've not got involved in the name calling (well once, called one a coward but it was well due) I think people get carried away at times and forget there is a real person typing at the other end. And a person who supports the same team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bertie means we daren't ever go foreign again, then the evidence that we should never again appoint a Scot, must be mountainous. I remember doing a list after we failed to get O Neil and got Clarke there were a good half dozen out work managers with track records not one showed any interest in the job all foreign remember the moneys crap £400 000 a year its crap compared to club jobs or bigger nations Edited June 12, 2022 by General dissaray -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think Bielsa is ridiculously unrealistic, its possible. Slaven Bilic is certainly more plausible tho, and would be exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I'd love to see Bielsa, the mad b*****d. The tiring effect his club teams eventually suffer from wouldnt be a an issue at National level, and there are lots of people in our squad who I think would thrive under that sort of playing style. Young, hungry guys who already like a high intensity style of play, McGinn, McGregor, Christie, Adams, Robertson, KT would slot right in, and the good it would do boys like Patterson, Hickey etc being involved with him. Really would be an ideal appointment for the players we have IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you can make argument to candidates that we need someone who can manage/motivate players who play at mid to top end EPL level. Would still need to seriously increase the salary tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams does my head in as well he needs to cut across his marker more move towards the ball he has pace over six yards to absolutely destroy most center halfs,was actually a good thing he tried against Ireland took a great touch spung around he take a shot looked a classy bit off skill off the cuff but was a fraction out in pulling it off I think he is a good player though would love him to get more support wide but we play to narrow and don't use wingers so he kind off flits wide instead staying central where we want him to be to get goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
